[YEMENONLINE.INFO] In the cave, bodies of three men are buried under rubble, their graves marked by photographs and flowers.
They were military leaders, the victims of an attack in 2004 at the start of six successive wars intended to quell the revolutionary fervour of the Houthi ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews ... militia in the Saada northern region of Yemen.

[Ansa.it] Rome, March 13 - A member of the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S) said Friday "we have to get free of the central Nazism of Germany and the EU institutions because they want to colonise southern Europe via their economic policies". Alessandro Di Battista, deputy chair of the House foreign and EU affairs committee, said "I use the term Nazism not for the German people but referring to the institutions that are killing peoples". He said the euro was "a dead weight Italy must be free of...the reality is we are slaves of the mark. "We aren't in the euro but substantially in the mark", Di Battista said.
Beppe Grillo's M5S is an anti-euro party which won about a quarter of the vote in the 2013 general election.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] It is as if the so-called Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) hates life. Or as if the radical organization's militias hate everyone, everything, every culture and every faith that does not adhere to their deviant ideology. If it were not hate, then what would the reason be behind ISIS's destruction of the priceless Assyrian archeological heritage? Do ISIS deviants suffer from historical dilemmas? Why do they hate beauty, art and culture? Why indeed do they hate humanity?
How do they differ from the Wahhabis of Saudi Arabia, except that the Sauds did their conquering a few generations ago? But all the rest is still being done now.
The radical group's destruction, bulldozing and levelling to the ground of Iraq's cultural heritage and archaeological sites has been classified as a "war crime." Whilst it was no doubt a war crime, the deviant group's ugly and painful demolition and looting of the Assyrian city of Nimrud has to be viewed as a crime against humanity. In their destruction of the ancient statues at a djinn-infested Mosul

The tranzis are enemies of civilization, ISIS are just cockroaches grown bold because they sense weakness.

Tranzis? All along I was thinking that "tranzis" meant one of the 58 permutations of sexuality listed in Facebook for sexual identity. However, now that I know, I will go with "cancer."

The next 22 months until President Barack Obama leaves office promise to be the most challenging period in the history of US-Israel relations.
Now unfettered by electoral concerns, over the past week Obama exposed his ill-intentions toward Israel in two different ways.
First, the Justice Department leaked its intention to indict Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez on corruption charges. Menendez is the ranking Democratic member, and the former chairman, of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He is also the most outspoken Democratic critic of Obama's policy of appeasing the Iranian regime.
...The long-term implications of Obama's moves to transform US support for Israel into a partisan issue cannot by wished away. It is possible that his successor as the head of the Democratic Party will hold a more sympathetic view of Israel. But it is also possible that the architecture of Democratic fund-raising and grassroots support that Obama has been building for the past six years will survive his presidency and that as a consequence, Democrats will have incentives to oppose Israel.
The reason Obama is so keen to transform Israel into a partisan issue was made clear by the second move he made last week.
Last Thursday, US National Security Adviser Susan Rice announced that the NSC's Middle East Coordinator Phil Gordon was stepping down and being replaced by serial Israel-basher Robert Malley. I sure hope Bibi didn't fail to congratulate Vlad on the birth of his daughter.

Israel will be fine if they reelect Bibi. If they go left then Champ will rape them once and for all -- with their own eager assistance. Actually, if they go left they will kind of deserve it.
[DailyMail] Teenagers who smoke cannabis for just three years could be damaging their long- term memory, researchers have warned.
Participants in a study who had used the drug daily for around three years in their teens had an abnormally shaped hippocampus -- a region of the brain vital to memory -- by the time they were in their early 20s.
They also performed around 18 per cent worse in long-term memory tests than individuals who had never touched the drug. Actually, it explains a lot of the behavior of the entire "Reality based" community---they simply don't remember.

Perhaps nothing new to many of your but I experienced a new social dynamic yesterday as I walked through a very crowed O'Hare airport. Human drones walking mindlessly to and from their departure gates, eyes glued to the 'machines.' I slowed my gate and stepped around the first two or three. Encountering one portly middle-aged i-podologe blocking a narrow isle, I slowed to a near stop and politely said "excuse me." His total inattention and hesitation earned him a purposeful, shoulder and bug-out-bag impact of the shoulder as I moved by. I never looked back.
Cannibis and Champs failing credibiltiy are but symptoms of a self-absorbed, hurray for me fok U urban socker society. A society in my umble opinion, in total and irreversable decline.

I wonder what our parents thought of kids in the 60's and 70's when they walked through a large crowd of them? Potheads, longhairs, hippies, druggies, just to mention a few.
#5
The study is a good first step. Next, I'd love to see a comparison with teens who drink daily... and what the brains of both groups looked like before they started, compared to the brains of teens who didn't. In other words, is it the chemical exposure that causes the problems, or is it that those with pre-existing problems seek out the chemicals? Or even that some of those with pre-existing problems permanently damage themselves when they choose to indulge, while those who don't are fine?
#6
...either group will demand the rest of society support them in their later years. "Victims" they'll say. No one will push back as hard or not harder that these are the consequences of choices that humans have made for thousands of years and they should pay the consequences not the ones who did not make the choices. Guilt will be served generously as usual to steal from the productive to support the non-productive.

I would like to see a study done of kids that get a job while in High School vs those that live off of parents and then eventual voting patterns that result.

I'm going with "serial liar" rather than drug-addled although that didn't help the lying problem. Did Hillary smoke dope--she suffers from serial lying too.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] As Iran ratcheted up its support for the Syrian regime, the government forces increased their deployment of hard power. Soon, the demonstrations of hundreds of people who demanded the rule of law and justice, turned into a vicious civil war.
The Islamic Theocratic Republic began by sending military and political advisors to Damascus. As Syrian forces proved to be insufficient in the fight against the opposition, Tehran did not hesitate to send thousands of its trained officers from the Quds Forces- a wing of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps operating in foreign countries- to back President Assad.
The deployment of its own national forces was not sufficient for Tehran. Iran was still determined to keep its vow and prevent Assad from losing the throne. The IRGC officers turned to other powerful regional Shiite groups such as Hezbollah to join the conflict. Hezbollah fighters were now on the frontline of the battles.

Why has the conflict lasted so long? Too many cooks spoil the broth.
