A 2011 Department of Homeland Security (DHS) document released by The Daily Caller advises government agencies against training about the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood and to shun “Muslim reformers.” Shockingly, the advisory committee that likely influenced these guidelines includes numerous individuals affiliated with the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood. The document says it is a list of “tips for federal, state and [...]

On May 7, three explosions were heard in the vicinity of the Raja-Shimi chemical complex in Tehran Province.

From the People’s Daily Online, an official arm of the Chinese propaganda machine: In short, we cannot simply ”abandon“ North Korea. No matter the nature of the regime in North Korea, China always has security interests in the Korean Peninsula.  Beijing has already adjusted its policies toward North Korea. Targeting North Korea‘s unfriendly actions, which have threatened peace on the peninsula, China has issued warnings and punishments. The relationship between China and North Korea has reached its lowest point since 1953.  Nevertheless, this does not mean that China wants to completely abandon North Korea.North Korea is not a satellite state of China. We cannot ”abandon“ it. China‘s punishment and sanctions on North Korea are aimed to maintain our own security interests.  Wow. Not only did the Chinese provide political cover for the United States and our allies increasing our military presence on the troubled Peninsula and targeting the North Koreans strategically, but they all but threw their old friends in Pyongyang under [...]

The police officers, [...]

That’s not the same for residents of Bahrain, and especially not for [...]
