Israeli media reporting that the Israeli police chief, Yohanan Danino, and his staff left for the U.S. the day after the Boston Bombings. It’s part of a ten day visit with U.S. Homeland Security, planned weeks ago.
Israeli media reporting that Danino announced Israel is willing to help with the investigations of the Boston Bombings.

Clear pics, taken from different angles, have surfaced from the Boston Marathon, showing men wearing black jackets, khaki pants and khaki shoes (paramilitary/contract cops?) and carrying large black backpacks. One looks to have security credentials hanging from his neck.
The backpacks match the remains of a shredded backpack found at one of the explosion sites (pic of that posted by FBI). There are also pics of several men in civilian clothes holding similar backpacks, they are all in the area of the explosions. Another pic shows a man placing a black backpack in a the threshold of a doorway of the building in the explosion area.
Apparently the pics were posted yesterday. The pics were taken from the second floor of the building where the first explosion took place. They focus on the crowd below, not on the runners in the street.
There is video of a man getting up and running for his life after an explosion. His black shirt and black pants are shredded, but he’s apparently not hurt because he immediately gets up and runs way before anyone else in the blast area has recovered their senses.
Do the internet search yourself.

Recently I was told by a Spanish small business owner I know, that he had to stop taking credit card payments because of a huge increases in fees being charged to small businesses.
He said the outrageous fee hikes involve VISA, MasterCard and American Express. Turns out that MasterCard is actually being investigated for violating the European Union’s anti-trust laws.
According to EU investigators, MasterCard has jacked up fees on purchases involving cardholders living outside the EU. Here in the U.S. credit card companies already charge cardholders extra fees for making purchases outside the United States, so it seems they’re now charging business owners in Europe extra fees for international sales as well.
MasterCard officials blamed banks for issuing cards with higher fee rates, but then said “….MasterCard always aims to balance the interests of both consumers and retailers to ensure that each party pays its fair share of the costs…”
You mean those outrageous interest rates aren’t enough to cover your costs, MasterCard? “Fair share” my ass!
MasterCard also said the higher fees were the only way the company could remain “viable”.
VISA is also being investigated. VISA is the biggest credit card scammer, I mean credit card service provider in the EU. It too has created outrageous ‘cross-border’ purchaser/seller fees.
What those dumb ass highly educated credit card corporate officials don’t realize is the net effect of continuing to create new fees, and jack up existing fees and interest rates, is that it will greatly reduce credit card use, which could render them inviable.

China has increased its holdings of U.S. Treasury bonds (aka U.S. government debt). Last year at this same time China held $1.16 trillion USD of U.S. bonds, now it’s at $1.22 trillion.
According to the U.S. Treasury, the $9.16 billion increase took place in February. Apparently China still thinks the U.S. is good for the money.

Shanghai reports another human case, making the total number of confirmed infections for China 78.
In Beijing the seven years old girl who was sick, has been released from the hospital, considered recovered. Her H7N9 tests are now negative.
A four years old boy is still in quarantine, in Beijing. He has no symptoms but tested positive for H7N9, and is considered a carrier.
A child in Shanghai was sick, but recovered, as well as a young adult. So far it looks like the younger you are the better your chances of recovery. Most older people who’re sick are still in the hospital.
In Taiwan, health officials have been reporting an increase in ‘suspected’ cases. But so far, everyone has tested negative.

South Korean media reporting that the Japanese ambassador announced his country is prepared to sign a military intelligence pact with Republic of Korea. It turns out Japan and ROK was supposed to sign the military pact in July 2012! It was put off because of protests by South Koreans. If you understand the violent recent history between Korea and Japan then you’ll understand the significance of such a pact.
ROK media also reporting that U.S. Secretary of State, John Kerry, told Chinese officials that the United States was willing to reduce its missile systems in the area, if the DPRK gave up nuclear weapons.
North Korea insists that its nuclear program is not negotiable. DPRK media has published front page articles telling people to prepare for war. Articles also point out that North Korea has every international right to its own nuclear program. In 2003 the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea pulled out of the UN’s Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

“….it is indisputable that the United States engaged in the practice of torture.”–Task Force on Detainee Treatment
A bipartisan investigation by the Constitution Project proves that the Christian dominated United States is pure evil!
“U.S. forces, in many instances, used interrogation techniques on detainees that constitute torture. American personnel conducted an even larger number of interrogations that involved ‘cruel, inhuman, or degrading’ treatment. Both categories of actions violate U.S. laws and international treaties….”
Blame is placed on all leadership, right on up to the President of the United States.
“The nation’s most senior officials, through some of their actions and failures to act in the months and years after immediately following the September 11 attacks, bear ultimate responsibility for allowing and contributing to the spread of illegal and improper interrogation techniques…..”
The investigation found that, as history shows (otherwise we’d still be under the terror that was known as the Christian led Inquisition), torture does not result in viable intell!
“There is no firm or persuasive evidence that the widespread use of harsh interrogation techniques by U.S. forces produced significant information…much of the information…was not useful or reliable.”
The report also demands an end to Gitmo.
It also accuses the Attorney General, and other lawyers who give advise to the Office of the President, of deliberately lying about laws concerning torture and war!
“Lawyers in the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) repeatedly gave erroneous legal sanction to certain activities that amounted to torture…..in violation of U.S. and international law…”
The investigation also revealed that the DoJ ignored data from the Department of Defense, FBI and Department of State concerning the treatment of detainees. The investigation confirmed that the U.S. imprisons and disappears innocent people.
“….the United States has violated its international legal obligations in its practice of forced disappearances and arbitrary detention…”
The investigation found that the U.S. knowingly sent prisoners to countries that would guarantee they would be tortured, and not only that, U.S. personnel took part in the Black Site tortures.
“….U.S. officials involved with detention in the Black Sites committed acts of torture….”
What’s even more disturbing is that the investigation revealed that people in the health care, and mental health professions, helped the military develop torture techniques. And in direct violation of U.S. military regulations doctors and psychologists even took part in torture by monitoring the victims’ responses!
“Medical professionals….participated variously in interrogations….provided medical information on detainees to interrogators, and not reporting abuses.”
The more than 500 page report has many more claims of law breaking by the military and top government officials. It even states that the claim of protecting National Security does not justify how badly the United States has treated people imprisoned in the name of the U.S. led War on Terror.

“Anytime bombs are used to target innocent civilians, it’s an act of terror.”-Barack Obama, President of the United States, 16 April 2013
According to the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, since 2009 Obama has authorized the killing of 684 innocent civilians in Pakistan, with drone (UAV) strikes. 156 were children. And that’s not counting the U.S. drone strike launched just a few days ago.
Then there’s the hundreds killed in Somalia and Yemen by Obama authorized drone strikes.
In Afghanistan, the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan says that since Obama took office in 2009, at least 1306 innocent civilians have been killed directly by U.S. led NATO/ISAF operations. And that’s not counting the U.S. airstrike made on 06 April 2013.
According to Iraq Body Count, Obama has reigned over the deaths of 17563 innocent civilians! And that’s not counting the nearly 100 killed on the same day as the Boston Bombings. In 2012, articles in the New York Times and Washington Post revealed that Obama was replacing the withdrawn U.S. forces with CIA, SOF and mercenaries (contractors).
Don’t forget to count the civilian deaths in Libya, Palestine (through overt support of Israel), and the ongoing U.S. supported insurgency in Syria.
Then there’s the sudden U.S. support (begun by Bushy Boy Junior) for a government previously considered terrorist; Myanmar (aka Burma in British media). Ever since the Obama administration began supporting this regime, hundreds of Muslims have been slaughtered, as well as more than 100000 made homeless and being chased out of the country. The UN declared the Sunni/Sufi Muslim Rohingyas the most persecuted people in the world! They are being killed, and their homes destroyed or stolen by U.S. supported Buddhists. That U.S. supported poster girl of human rights, Aung San Suu Kyi, has actually made statements to the media that shows she doesn’t care what happens to the Muslims.
Who’s the real terrorist?

U.S. Senator from Mississippi, Roger Wicker, was sent a poison letter. It was discovered in a mail center in Washington DC. A lab in Maryland confirmed it contained deadly ricin.
The mail center has been screening letters and packages for poison ever since the 2001 anthrax attacks. The letter had a Tennessee postmark, but no return address.
Senate officials do not think it’s connected to the Boston Bombings.
Senator Wicker was one of 16 Republican senators who voted to to end a filibuster against an anti-gun bill, this after he said “I have never voted for gun control and will not do so….I will filibuster.”
There are reports that other poisoned letters were sent, including a letter to President Obama.

“She oversaw one of the most brutal prison regimes in Europe. She was involved in overseeing a terrible regime that was responsible for the torture of hundreds of young men and women…..My only regret is that Thatcher was never brought before a war crimes tribunal.”-Jim McVeigh, Irish Republican Army
The main streamer media in the United States has done nothing but bemoan the death of evil monarchist Baroness Thatcher (aka Margaret Hilda Thatcher). They have to because it’s all part of the Ronald Reagan era of bold face lies!
Hatred of Thatcher by the common people of United Kingdom is so intense that British bobbys (aka Thatcher’s Boot Boys) are demanding that anybody planning to protest at tomorrows funeral services need to turn themselves in now. The London MET is mobilizing 4000 bobbys to provide security against their own fellow citizens at tomorrow’s funeral procession!
Reports say the bob on your nob coppers will invoke section 5 of the Pubic Order Act. Section 5 allows bobbers to arrest anybody they claim is making harassing or alarming gestures. It’s similar to rules in many U.S. schools, which says if a teacher is offended or distracted by what your child wears, or says or does, they can be hauled in by the resource officer (school cop).
Some protest groups say they’re going to egg the funeral procession. Other groups say they’re simply going to turn their backs to the hearse as it goes by. They could all be arrested under section 5.
The main reason working class Brits hate Maggie is because she was one of the first Right to Work You Over politicians. She started the trend of busting down the labor unions, along with her buddy Ronald Reagan in the United States. (of course many unions shot themselves in the foot by becoming as greedy as the corporate fat cats)
Maggie’s Right to Work You Over policies did nothing to improve employment for the working class, but it reduced inflation simply because less money was being spent.
Recently the Ding Dong the Witch is Dead song became a number two hit in United Kingdom. It’s now the anti-Thatcher anthem. Right to Work You Over supporters tried to counter with the I’m in Love with Margret Thatcher song. Big Fail! The BBC even refused to play the full Ding Dong song, so you know who’s side they’re on (which is strange because in 2007 the BBC was accused of being Thatcher hate mongers).
Ever since the Baroness died (yes she was a Baroness, she was not a commoner as I’ve seen some websites claim) there have been Thatcher Death Parties held across the U.K., and arrests have been made.
But it’s not just Brits that hate her guts.
Argentinos hate her because of the illegal occupation of the Malvinas Islands. She also ordered the sinking of an Argentine ship, that was well outside the British declared Total Exclusion Zone, killing more than 300 Argentinos!
French hate her because she made insinuating threats against France after the Argentinos sank several Royal Navy ships with French made missiles. French officials claim she demanded the codes to disarm the Exocet missiles, and even threatened to nuke Argentina. No serving French minister will attend her funeral. In fact, when it was suggested that a street in Paris be named after Maggie, the majority countered by saying they’d rather name it after Irish martyr Bobby Sands.
The Irish hate her, saying the Iron Lady should “Rust in hell!”. In 1981 she refused to intervene in a prison hunger strike, and 10 Irishmen starved to death.
Germans hate her because she fought against the unification of Germany. She once told German Chancellor Helmut Kohl that she still thought of Germany in World War 2 terms, and did not want to see Germany united.
The Scotts and Welsh hated her Community Charge/Poll Tax on renters. It was totally unfair and only lasted two years. She also treated their coal miners like shit! Some mining communities say they are still suffering from her policies all these decades later.
Many Asians hate her for this statement: “There will be no Asian Century under the government I lead!”
Cambodians hate her because she helped trained the genocidal Pol Pot and his Khmer Rouge.
South Africans hate her because she supported the apartheid policies of the pro-British government.
Chileans hate her because she supported the U.S. backed Augusto José Ramón Pinochet Ugarte, the man who assassinated Chile’s democratically elected President Salvador Allende, then went on a killing spree against those who voted for Allende.
British hatred of the European Union can be traced directly to Maggie Thatcher.
You want the ultimate proof that Baroness Maggie was a Witch with a B? A lot of SOBs will attend her funeral, including F.W. de Klerk, Newt Gingrich, Dick Cheney, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, David Cameron and Henry Kissinger! And don’t forget other Witches with a B, Queen Elizabeth II, Marsha Blackburn and Michele Bachmann will attend.
