Syria Stunner: German Intelligence “Cooperating” With Assad, Berlin May Reopen Embassy In Damascus
“Germany’s spy agency is working again with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s secret service to swap information on Islamist militants,” Reuters writes, citing the German daily.
Reuters continues: “Citing well-informed sources, the mass-circulation newspaper said German foreign intelligence BND agents had been traveling regularly to Damascus for some time for consultations with Syrian colleagues.”
Bild goes on to say that the BND intends to establish a station in Damascus imminently where agents will take up permanent positions. That could pave the way for the reopening on the German embassy, which was shuttered in 2012. As Sputnik reminds us, “diplomatic relations were broken off three years ago when, the then Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle, expelled the Syrian ambassador from Germany [and] the German ambassador to Damascus was withdrawn and the embassy closed for safety reasons.”

I believe you mean “Iraq” instead of Iran. Turkey has put some troops and tanks into Iraq.

No Ipso not in life support yet. First thing they really do is check to see if there essential parts are still there. Aren’t you glad Hillary isn’t a nurse? Some things can be dangerous like drunks and certain people out of it like cops who were had to pry a nurse out of a choke hold one time. Had a FBI guy out of it was a hand full but when I got him stabilized and tell you been anyone else they’d be dead tough guy who apologized and thanked me before they wisked him out and was surprised he remembered anything in the condition he was in. Some times it’s cute like the little old lady who when cutting a name tag from another hospital off to put on a new one. She says no dear don’t take my bracelet the girls gave me that. Okay you can keep it then lol

The nation is in shock today as Yale students and staffers are caught on camera enthusiastically advocating the complete elimination of the First Amendment.
This demonstrates yet again how universities have become anti-American indoctrination centers churning our clueless, obedient, communist-minded zombies.
The First Amendment, in case you don’t remember, protects not just Free Speech but also the freedom to peaceably assemble, the right to petition and freedom of religion.

This is the face of a domestic terrorist. She will jail all talk show hosts who speak out against Muslim extremism. One day following the San Bernardino massacre, she did not utter a word about the 14 Americans that were executed by a Muslim terrorist. But Lynch(mob) threatens to arrest anyone for speaking out against Muslim extremism. I do not have words to describe how out of touch this administration is with the American people. Please note the background as Lynch delivered her threat to Americans who will not submit to extremism and Sharia Law.

It means that the Fed has had time to figure out that the effect of the small “rate hike” would essentially be zero. In other words, the small increase in the target rate from a range of 0 to 0.25% to 0.25 to 0.50% is insufficient to set off problems in the interest-rate derivatives market or to send stock and bond prices into decline.

Yet Jim Willie claimed that because of leverage, a .25% increase in rate hike, would set off a derivative explosion. I’m waiting to hear his reply from the “voice”.

The climbing higher dollar since June 2014 has started to kill big parts of the economy. The same parts, higher commodity prices, that helped the so called recovery. Energy, mining, farming etc.
The lower rates only helped retail, houses, and cars and consumers too with lower energy costs.
So the Fed may be raising rates now so they can lower them for stimulation later on as things get worse. Worse? Could mean commodities get so low, producers go out of business, and supplies and shortages start happening.

Jerry was in a Hospital bed wearing an oxygen mask over his mouth. “Nurse” he mumbles “are my testicles black?”
The nurse raises his gown, holds his penis in one hand and his balls in the other. She takes a close look and says, “There’s nothing wrong with them sir.”
Jerry pulls off the oxygen mask, smiles at her and says very slowly: “Thanks for that. It was lovely but listen very very carefully … Are-my-test-results-back?!”
