Assad: We're Fighting Against Foreign Mercenaries
Posted by admin / Under Foreign Relations Of Israel
In his first interview since December, Syrian President Bashar Assad insisted his regime is fighting back against foreign mercenaries who want to overthrow him and not innocent Syrians aspiring for democracy. The interview with Russian TV, recorded on Tuesday and aired on Wednesday, showed that Assad is still standing his ground despite widespread international condemnation over his deadly crackdown on dissent. “There are foreign mercenaries, some of them still alive,” Assad was quoted by The Associated Press as having said in the interview on Russian state news channel Rossiya-24. “They are being detained and we are preparing to show them...

Report: Florida Investigating Potential Voting by Thousands of Non-Citizens
Posted by admin / Under Foreign Relations Of Israel
by John HillStand With Arizona As most Americans know, Florida is a state where a small number of votes can make a huge difference. After all, the 2000 presidential election was decided by just over 500 votes. So when there is evidence of potential voter fraud, officials better take it seriously. But they rarely have. Stand With Arizona, along with FAIR, have urged Florida to check on evidence of potential illegal alien voters for over a year with no action taken. That is, until a Tampa NBC affiliate uncovered shocking evidence of illegal aliens who voted in multiple elections...

We Can Be Breitbart, Slowly: Vetting Obama
Posted by admin / Under Foreign Relations Of Israel
In the thread about Justice Kagan, I started thinking aloud how important it is to finish Breitbart's job and fully vet Barack Obama. No media person asked him about Kagan's ties to communism. I didn't know this until today. How to get the mainstream media to be even slightly accountable about serious questions a candidate (let alone the sitting President) should answer? Why not start slow and focused? One important question, asked by all of us, to one mainstream news personality. I picked as the first question "Did Obama enter college as a foreign student?". I picked as the recipient...
