ActivistPost – Catherine J. Frompovich – Is History Repeating Itself? – 29 November 2013

Since my last blog, How THEY Got Control, I have received email comments that, if I were to share with my readers, probably wouldn’t surprise you. Many readers have sized up, and are fed up with, what’s going on in the USA in the name of change, i.e., socialism and/or fascism. Yes, that’s what they are calling the form of governance we have had since 2009.

Quite frankly, I would never have thought when I was a schoolgirl that I would be living through or writing about the untenable turn of criminal-political-events that are occurring – and not checked nor remedied – with no relief in sight, especially in the USA. As an aside, I lived through World War II; I remember well the day WWII ended and how America acted. If readers would like to hear that story, just say so in the comment section and I will write an article about it.

IntelliHub – Sea Hosting 100-Million Year-Old Species To Be Site Of Syrian Chemical Weapons Stockpile Dump – 29 November 2013

MEDITERRANEAN SEA (INTELLIHUB) –  In what can only be described as a really bad idea, the organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) is planning to destroy at least 1000 tones of the confiscated Syrian chemical weapon stockpile out at sea, which some fear will destroy delicate eco systems vital to sea and human life alike.

Steve Lendman – Massive Fraud, Intimidation And Vote Buying In Honduras – 29 November 2013

On Sunday, November 24, Hondurans voted. Eight candidates contested for president. Only two mattered.

LIBRE party (Liberty and Refoundation) candidate Xiomara Castro challenged ruling National party’s Juan Orlando Hernandez. A previous article explained.

It said business as usual prevailed. Fraud, intimidation and vote buying were rampant. So were political assassinations. Democracy was nowhere in sight.

Rappler

by Paterno Esmaquel II

MANILA, Philippines – From the negotiating tables in Geneva, the effects of a historic nuclear deal with Iran can trickle down to the ordinary Filipino driver, Iran’s ambassador said Friday, November 29.

In a 6-month deal, Iran agreed to curb its nuclear program in exchange for a limited relief from sanctions. The next step: a final agreement. (READ: World powers, Iran clinch ‘historic’ nuclear deal.)

Iran wants the lifting of all sanctions through a final deal, said Iran Ambassador to the Philippines Ali Asghar Mohammadi.

InvestmentWatchBlog – How Much Is My Private Data Worth? (Google Just Offered Me $$)

Wolf Richter www.testosteronepit.com www.amazon.com/author/wolfrichter

The first thing I noticed after I’d removed the glossy brochure and a letter from the 8.5 x 11 envelope was the crisp $5 bill attached to the letter. I’m a sucker for free money. After peeling it off and securing it in my pocket, I started reading. It was addressed to “Dear current resident of …,” followed by my address. The five bucks was “our way of thanking you for considering participation,” the letter said. Participation in what?

Mortgages Without Risk, At Least For The Banks – 29 November 2013

New York Times

By FLOYD NORRIS

That was why the Dodd-Frank financial overhaul law included risk retention — called “skin in the game” — as a major reform. For all but the safest loans, someone connected to the loan had to keep a stake in it. If such a loan went bad, then that lender would suffer along with those who bought securities containing it.
