Turkey to let Iraqi Kurds reinforce Kobani as U.S. drops arms to defenders
(Reuters) – Turkey said on Monday it would allow Iraqi Kurdish fighters to reinforce fellow Kurds in the Syrian town of Kobani, while the United States air-dropped arms for the first time to help the defenders resist an Islamic State assault.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Washington had asked Ankara to let Iraqi Kurds cross its territory so that they could help defend the town which lies on the Turkish frontier, adding that he hoped the Kurds would “take this fight on”.

On This Day In History
1947 The House Un-American Activities Committee opened hearings into alleged Communist influence in the motion picture industry.
Comment:
That agenda fizzled out, and could explain all our alliances with China and USSR problems, and why the USA today is not the same USA from back in the day. The communists won the argument back in 1947.
The great Kunstler this week
Then, too soon, I landed back in Newark Airport, Lord have mercy. I grabbed a taxi to the Newark train station to get to the Hudson River line out of New York City back upstate. Along the way on Route 21, I passed a graffiti on an overpass. It said “Omenland.” The anonymous genius who sprayed that there sure caught the US zeitgeist. Newark compares to Stockholm as an Ebola victim in the gutter compares to a supermodel at poolside. The scene in the Newark train station was like the barroom from Star Wars, a creature-feature extravaganza, intergalactic Mutt Central, wookies in hoodies with burning coals for eyes, ladies with pierced cheeks, crack-heads, winos, missing body part people, lopsided head people, and the scrofulous physical condition of the station is proof positive that Chris Christie is unqualified to be president. This is a gateway to New York, America’s greatest city, you understand, and it looks like the veritable checkpoint to the rectum of the universe. You know what occurred to me: maybe it is?
But I was on the road all last week, first in our nation’s capital and then in the capital of Sweden, Stockholm and its environs. Interesting place these days, Washington, DC. It is among the USA’s richest metro areas now, for the simple reason that torrents of grift from the backwash of Wall Street nourish the pathogenic activities of influence peddling the way agar nutrient will cause E coli to flourish in a Petri dish. But for all the awesome yawning vistas of the national mall and its marble monuments, Washington is deeply unpleasant to walk around. The scale is absurd. I hoofed it from the Freer Collection at the heart of the museum district over to M Street in Georgetown, and that was like the Bataan Death March. Arlington, Virginia, just across the Potomac, where my hotel was, is a sadder joke. They’ve spent thirty years pretending to “pedestrianize” it, and the outcome is sort of like Wilshire Boulevard meets Hackensack.
A day later, I was in Stockholm, being forcefully reminded what an actual city is like, one designed for human activity, not just some abstract political notion of “mobility.” People live in the center of Stockholm, lots of them, in five and six story buildings that display great variety and conscious artistry within strong orders of architectural unity. The motifs are a northern folkish classicism. The effect is both reassuring and powerfully coherent. You feel civilized. Your neurology is constantly nourished as you walk. Unlike Americans, the Swedes don’t go about in their pajamas. Also absent were cholo caps, team sports toggery, and clown sneakers. How refreshing to see young people aspire to act like grownups instead of the other way around. And, of course, almost no one is supersized over there.
Kyrgyzstan may seek Centerra’s delisting after Canadian court order
By Olga Dzyubenko
BISHKEK, Oct 20 (Reuters) – Kyrgyzstan’s President Almazbek Atambayev said on Monday he could seek to delist Centerra Gold in Toronto after a Canadian court effectively suspended its Kyrgyz-held shares.
The former Soviet republic owns a third of Centerra which is developing the vast Kumtor gold field near China’s border. The government and the company are engaged in uneasy talks on restructuring of the project, which Kyrgyzstan hopes will boost its budget revenues.
On Oct. 14, Canadian miner Stans Energy obtained an order from an Ontario court which prohibits the Kyrgyz Republic and its state gold company Kyrgyzaltyn from making any move to sell, pledge or exchange 47 million shares in Centerra.
Stans Energy has sought payment from the government of $118 million in damages and losses after losing its licence for the Kutessay II rare-earth mine in Kyrgyzstan.
Kyrgyz leader Atambayev said that legal actions taken by Canadian courts against Kyrgyzstan were discriminatory.
“In particular, a question could be raised about possible delisting of Centerra Gold shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange,” he said in a written statement published by his press service.
“Or we could take more decisive steps to protect Kyrgyzstan’s national interests which would exclude deciding Kumtor’s fate in the courts of Canada, whose companies have already withdrawn by different means the bigger part of profits from one of the world’s largest gold deposits.”
He did not elaborate. Centerra Gold could not immediately be reached for comment.

Moggy – Essential Oils
I may have inadvertently given you a bum steer with a reference to “Native American Nutritionals” EO and supplements. When my order arrived I found the bottles were labelled as “Rocky Mountain Oils”. I knew that in the past the oils were crafted and bottled in Utah, near Salt Lake. Apparently they have split the company in two, with the Native American Nemenhah medicine workers sales now based in Missouri, near the Medicine Chief’s lodge. I think that Native American Nutritionals probably only sells to the membership, and you may have trouble registering as a customer if you are not a Nemenhah member.
But not to worry… the oils are sourced and packaged here for sale to the public:
http://www.rockymountainoils.com/
Same high quality, pure, and organic sourced. Great website with cross references to the Young Living and doTerra similar blends. Prices are identical to the Native American Nutritionals site. These are just different divisions of the same company.
