Israel’s defense chief said Tuesday a Russian plan to supply sophisticated anti-aircraft missiles to Syria was a “threat” and signaled that Israel is prepared to use force to stop the delivery.
The warning by Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon ratcheted up tensions with Moscow over the planned sale of S-300 air-defense missiles to Syria. Earlier in the day, a top Russian official said his government remained committed to the deal.

One of the most disgusting individuals in the United States government is the Republican Senator from Arizona named John McCain.
For years following the staged attacks of September 11th, 2001 McCain has constantly reminded us about the so-called threat of Al-Qaeda.
He has blindly repeated the ridiculous conspiracy theory that 19 Muslim hijackers with box cutters were solely responsible for those attacks.
In reality Al-Qaeda was created by the CIA back in the 1980s and has primarily been used as a propaganda tool to justify wars in the Middle East.
It is nothing more than a manufactured terror threat.
Despite all of this, McCain who has warned us about the Al-Qaeda threat for over a decade recently decided to visit the Free Syrian Army a group currently attempting to overthrow the Syrian government.
This militant group has been connected to or are actively a part of organizations that are under the umbrella of Al-Qaeda.
In fact there have been numerous reports of how a large number of Free Syrian Army fighters have ties to or have defected to Jabhat al-Nusra an Islamist group widely identified as an Al-Qaeda linked organization.
So here we have McCain associating with the Free Syrian Army a group that is confirmed to have had or currently have Al-Qaeda linked terrorists within its ranks.

British troops in Afghanistan are holding 80 to 90 people, some for as long as 14 months, without charging them.
Lawyers call it a 'secret prison' akin to Guantanamo Bay, but the government says the facility is operated legally.
UK Defence Secretary have previously said that transfering the prisoners could endanger troops and detainees themselves. British anti-war campaigner Jim Brann says the UK military has put itself between a rock and a hard place.
RT also spoke to Rosa Curling, a lawyer of one of the detainees, who said the government has repeatedly declined her access to her client.

"CNN's Carol Costello on Saturday scolded prominent anti-war activist Medea Benjamin of Code Pink for repeatedly interrupting President Barack Obama during a major national security speech."*
Does CNN's Carol Costello understand the meanings of the words "rude" and "journalism?" Maybe Code Pink's Medea Benjamin can teach her that speaking out and what it means to not be complacent and unquestioning with leadership. Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

★ If You Care About Your Health You Must Watch this insightful interview with Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt MD from the spectacular and pivotal documentary film "Take Back Your Power".
Debuting in 2013 ➜ "Take Back Your Power" is a Community-Funded, Public Awareness Documentary Feature Film which Exposes the Technocratic "Smart" Grid Agenda, by which corporations are currently attempting to quietly assert the basis for further control in the lives and homes of the world's citizens.

This undemocratic global smart metering program is emerging as a truly massive issue with many areas of focus, such as greatly increased utility bills, decimation of privacy rights, an array of health problems from radiation, hacking vulnerability, corporate fraud, democracy vs. corporatocracy, uninsured fires/damage... and how the entire story fits in with the big picture on our planet. With this crisis comes tremendous opportunity. Human beings everywhere come together, and we take back our power.
Based upon our research, you are not legally required to have a smart meter in any region, contrary to what certain agencies may be telling you.
RF Smart meters Hazardous to your health, Cancer Warning,100 times worse than cell phones Get Deep Discounted Mobile Phones Today! Follow Link Provided. ----Radiation emitted from smart meters is a class 2B carcinogen. This means that the radiation emitted from smart meter can cause cancer. Radiation hazard of smart meters may be 100 times higher than cell phone radiation.The health effects of pulsed microwaves such as on SMs also found on mobile phone base stations include sleep disruption, nosebleeds, headaches, migraines, lethargy, increased blood pressure, skin problems, the triggering of epileptic attacks and electrical hypersensitivity.The first common symptom of exposure may be a metallic taste in the mouth. For commercial reasons companies deny these effects as well as the long-term carcinogenic possibilities. A Smart Meter is commonly a receiver and a transmitter, that can be hacked for your personal information and when connected to your electrical home or office wires acts like a cell phone tower sending radiation thought the house or office wiring. Alternative methods can be used to be smarter and reading devices can be created to emit less harmful radiation but most manufacturers of these devices are not interested in our health. They are more interested in making profits.There has been no testing of these meters for any kind of safety and they are not UL approved. The transmitting meters may not even comply with FCC safety standards.
BRADY -- In October, the city council of this Central Texas town voted unanimously to purchase advanced electric meters, known as smart meters, for the city-owned electric utility.
But some residents resisted, and the smart meter vote played a large role in last weekend's recall of the city's mayor and the electoral defeat of two council members.
Voters here passed a referendum last weekend to enshrine in the city charter the right of residents to refuse the installation of smart meters on their property. Sheila Hemphill, an organizer of the effort, called the victory her "San Jacinto."
The reaction in Brady could signal a shift in the debate over smart meters, which collect detailed data on electricity use and transmit it to the utility using radio frequencies.
A raft of bills were introduced during the legislative session that would allow individuals to keep their old meters for free, but all have faltered.
Local resistance to smart meters, however, appears to be rising.
It's a Bird...It's a Plane...It's Valery Rozov!!! (VIDEO)

The St. Petersburg Pier, known locally as The Pier, is a landmark and major tourist destination adjacent to downtown St. Petersburg, Florida and extending into Tampa Bay.
Some of the activities and sights offered at the pier include shopping, dining, nightlife, fishing, boat rentals, weekly festivals, and the Pier Aquarium.
The City of St. Petersburg, Florida plans to demolish The Pier and replace it with a new design. A protest campaign to save the existing pier has developed.
The Pier is known for its five-story inverted pyramid shape overlooking Tampa Bay.
The aquarium is located on the second floor, with a branch of Ybor City's famed Columbia Restaurant on the fourth floor and Cha Cha Coconuts Tropical Bar and Grill on the fifth floor.
The first floor includes a Concierge Center, specialty shops and galleries, Waterside Grill & Bar, and the Dockside Eatery food court with burgers, pizza, ice cream and Chinese.
Local bands are featured in Courtyard by the Bay every Sunday afternoon.
On August 18, 2010, the St. Petersburg City Council accepted Mayor Bill Foster's recommendation to demolish the current Pier in a straw-poll vote, 5-3 after a two-hour workshop.
A binding vote, 7--1, was taken at an August 26 meeting.
On January 20, 2012, the St. Petersburg Pier Competition Jury unanimously selected Michael Maltzan Architecture's "The Lens" as the design for the new pier.
The 1973 Pier is scheduled to close May 31, 2013.
In September 2012, the city applied to the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers for a permit to demolish the pier. Approval will take 6 to 12 months.

Not only is the movement against Monsanto adding to its number each day thanks to the real alternative media and intelligent activism, but the movement as a whole is driven by an inexorable desire to push the GMO 'food bully' out of our food supply
"Republican Senator John McCain, a staunch advocate of US military aid to the Syrian opposition, has made a surprise visit to war-torn Syria and met with rebels.
The controversial move comes as Russia and the US are trying to set up a peace conference," reports RT.
Tens of thousands of protesters throughout the world took to the streets this weekend to March Against Monsanto, a giant, over 100-year-old biotech corporation, notoriously known for producing genetically modified food, turning a blind eye on health consequences for consumers, and lobbying for legislation protecting only its own interests, while blocking GMO labelling attempts in America.
RT's Anastasia Churkina reports from the demonstrations in New York.
In recent weeks we have been told to focus on a series of scandals which, we are told, are rocking the Obama Administration. Has the media finally found outrage over the Obama regime's use of drone strikes to kill scores of innocent women and children in countries that are not even at war with the United States? Or the DOJ's recent admission that the strikes had indeed killed American citizens? Or John Kerry's recent attempts to once again lead the American public into supporting military intervention in the Middle East based on provably false claims of WMD?
Of course not. No, the media's sudden discovery of outrage is directed at an entirely different scandal: the fact that reporters have now allegedly found themselves in the government's crosshairs.
