I remember reading about the screams from the peace movement

when it was told that the Soviet Union was pushing money and advice into the movement.  There was proof, especially after the SU fell and the archives were open for a while, but a lot of people still deny it.  Well, the Russians are still at it:
A shadowy Bermudan company that has funneled tens of millions of dollars to anti-fracking environmentalist groups in the United States is run by executives with deep ties to Russian oil interests and offshore money laundering schemes involving members of President Vladimir Putin’s inner circle.
They want- they NEED- the price of oil back up high.  And the anti-fracking/anti-oil/anti-cheap energy clowns want to help them with that.


Smart Diplomacy!
The former vice chief of staff of the Army warned the Senate Armed Services Committee today that al-Qaeda has “grown fourfold in the last five years.”
“AQ and its affiliates exceeds Iran in beginning to dominate multiple countries,” retired four-star Gen. Jack Keane testified.

Using a term that the Obama administration now eschews, Keane called radical Islam “the major security challenge of our generation.”

And what is the State Department doing?  Playing footsie with the Muslim Brotherhood.  Of course.


And Zuckerberg demonstrates it's actually "I am Charlie(as long as it's convenient)!"


Hey, want an Stg-44?  You may be in luck.


Things like this are why anyone spouting "All cultures are equal!" should be dropped into this region so they can lecture the savages on that.
The leader of the Islamic State of Iraq and Sham has asked all families around Iraq's northern city of Mosul to circumcise their daughters or face severe punishment.

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, leader of the self-declared Islamic State, has ordered the female genital mutilation of two million Iraqi girls to "distance them from debauchery and immorality".

The "fatwa" issued by the Sunni Muslim fighters would potentially affect four million women and girls, the UN resident and humanitarian coordinator in Iraq Jacqueline Badcock told reporters in Geneva by video from Irbil.
Oh, I'm sorry, did my calling them savages upset someone?  If it did, screw you.
