As media reported, in some cases medical personnel were harshly treated
allegedly because of "arrogance" of local population. There may be more
serious reasons behind such behavior. What really drives the attacks
against medical personnel on the part of those who appear to be most
interested in receiving medical care?

Ballots or Bullets: Democracy and World Power | Global Research
The majority of democratic electorates rejects candidates and parties
which back the US global agenda: neo-liberal economic policies; a highly
militarized foreign policy; Israeli colonization and annexation of
Palestine; the concentration of wealth in the financial sector; the
military escalation against China and Russia. While the US policy
attempts to re-impose the pillage and dominance of the 1990’s via
recycled client regimes the democratic electorates want to move on
toward less bellicose, more inclusive governments, which restore labor
and welfare rights.

Google Survey: Majority of US Citizens Think US Gives Too Much to Israel Washington's Blog
The policy and political implications of this finding are stark.
Elected officials passing ever larger aid packages and supplemental
spending for Israel simply cannot claim they are representing the
majority interests of their constituents. American presidents
proclaiming the U.S.‐Israel bond is “unbreakable” cannot claim such a
bond is willingly underwritten by U.S. taxpayers. The finding also
shines yet more light on Israel lobby organizations as the major factor
coming between most constituents and their representatives and quietly
working to ensure that Israel’s majority share of the U.S. foreign aid
budget continues.
John Pilger on ISIS: Only When We See the War Criminals In Our Midst Will the Blood Begin to Dry
John Pilger on ISIS: Only When We See the War Criminals In Our Midst Will the Blood Begin to Dry
In transmitting President Richard Nixon's
orders for a "massive" bombing of Cambodia in 1969, Henry Kissinger
said, "Anything that flies on everything that moves". As Barack Obama
ignites his seventh war against the Muslim world since he was awarded
the Nobel Peace Prize, the orchestrated hysteria and lies make one
almost nostalgic for Kissinger's murderous honesty.
As a witness to the human consequences of aerial savagery - including
the beheading of victims, their parts festooning trees and fields - I
am not surprised by the disregard of memory and history, yet again. A
telling example is the rise to power of Pol Pot and his Khmer Rouge, who
had much in common with today's Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
They, too, were ruthless medievalists who began as a small sect. They,
too, were the product of an American-made apocalypse, this time in Asia.
According to Pol Pot, his movement had consisted of "fewer than 5,000
poorly armed guerrillas uncertain about their strategy, tactics,
loyalty and leaders". Once Nixon's and Kissinger's B52 bombers had gone
to work as part of "Operation Menu", the west's ultimate demon could not
believe his luck.

For how long will we need to go back and forth in this GMO battle before a sound conclusion is finally met? If you have been following the GMO debate at all, you probably realize that this issue will likely never rest, as numerous studies on both sides of the spectrum (one side showing safety and the other showing danger) will continue to surface. What’s more, this research as well as opinions will be born out of lies or false substantiation. You’ve likely read headlines like these lately and scoffed:

Catalonia's referendum: Getting to “sí” | The Economist:
THEY put a brave face on it in Catalonia. The Scottish "no" vote, said Catalan president Artur Mas, was a triumph for democracy and an enviable example of how to resolve nationalist tension within a European state. But it was also a setback. A Scottish "yes" would have proved that a European Union state can break up, and obliged EU leaders to find a way to cope. Catalan separatists would have tried to fall into Scotland's slipstream, using its vote to boost support for a movement that has grown rapidly; some polls show a majority of Catalans favour a split.

Activists Set Up Billboard Near Amazon Asking Company About $600 Million CIA Contract:
(TheAntiMedia) The CIA recently signed a $600 million deal with Amazon, allegedly for the use of their cloud computing technology. The large contract has some users concerned about their privacy, because many of them feel that being on the same cloud as the CIA puts their information at risk.
Very few details of this deal have been made public, but concerned Amazon Cloud users want answers, and want the company to promise that they will not share its user’s information with the CIA.
Earlier this month, activist groups unveiled a giant billboard near Amazon’s Seattle headquarters that says “The $600 million question: What’s the CIA Doing on Amazon’s Cloud?”

Canada’s Heart of Darkness. Democracy and Civility Foregone? | Global Research
Over the past decade, Canada has made a clear and distinct turn towards
its inner ‘heart of darkness’, becoming much more overt about its right
wing militarized alignment with the U.S. empire and its demands. It has
done so to the extent of front-running – or trying to out do – the
hubris and arrogance of the U.S. in its declamations of its
self-righteousness concerning international affairs (with similar
impacts on domestic affairs).

Netanyahu insists he is 'under attack for defending Israel' after remarks from US official | World news | theguardian.com
Explosive interview indeed! And definite movement. I am sad that
Israel's official position is that criticism is 'hurtful' emotionally --
and that any accommodation is 'suicidal.' That is a hopeless position.
But these outbursts from the US -- Kerry actually citing the danger of
Israel becoming an 'apartheid state' -- are new news. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/oct/29/binyamin-netanyahu-a-chickenshit-say-us-officials-in-explosive-interview

The Crisis in U.S.-Israel Relations Is Officially Here - Atlantic Mobile:
The other day I was talking to a senior Obama administration official about the foreign leader who seems to frustrate the White House and the State Department the most. “The thing about Bibi is, he’s a chickenshit,” this official said, referring to the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, by his nickname.
This comment is representative of the gloves-off manner in which American and Israeli officials now talk about each other behind closed doors, and is yet another sign that relations between the Obama and Netanyahu governments have moved toward a full-blown crisis. The relationship between these two administrations— dual guarantors of the putatively “unbreakable” bond between the U.S. and Israel—is now the worst it's ever been, and it stands to get significantly worse after the November midterm elections. By next year, the Obama administration may actually withdraw diplomatic cover for Israel at the United Nations, but even before that, both sides are expecting a showdown over Iran, should an agreement be reached about the future of its nuclear program.

Fight the Enemies of Truth: Support the Spread of Knowledge | Global Research:
“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie — deliberate, contrived and dishonest — but the myth — persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.” – JFK
“The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.” – Stephen Hawking
For those whose understanding of the world is derived from what their governments and political leaders tell them to believe, and from the mainstream media which regurgitates the government’s views and ideology, the world is left black and white, us vs. them, a simple myth to hold on to. For these people: the economic crisis is over and we are now in a “recovery”; the ‘War on Terror’ is an age-old battle between the forces of good and evil, retribution for the attacks of 9/11, and is designed to battle ‘terrorism’ in every corner of the world; the era of imperialism ended with World War II, and America is not an ‘empire’, but rather a bastion for freedom which spreads democracy around the world; the war against Libya was intended to save innocent lives out of ‘humanitarian’ concerns; we must accept the loss and restriction of our fundamental rights and liberties in order to protect us from terrorists; Barack Obama has brought ‘change’ and is a beacon of ‘hope’; and the death of Osama bin Laden showed that the ‘War on Terror’ is working, and is worthy of going out in the streets to celebrate and cheer! Oh but wait, it’s not over. Now there is ISIS, the new face of terror which we need to “degrade and destroy” in Syria and Iraq… and at home. We have been warned: “homegrown terrorists” are lurking in Western countries, waiting to “follow ISIS kill commands”.

A Surveillance State Beyond Imagination Is Being Created in One of the World's Freest Countries | Noam Chomsky
A Surveillance State Beyond Imagination Is Being Created in One of the World's Freest Countries | Noam Chomsky
June 2014 article by Noam Chomsky on Alternet
In the past several months, we have been provided with instructive
lessons on the nature of state power and the forces that drive state
policy. And on a closely related matter: the subtle, differentiated
concept of transparency.
The source of the instruction, of course, is the trove of documents
about the National Security Agency surveillance system released by the
courageous fighter for freedom Edward J. Snowden, expertly summarized
and analyzed by his collaborator Glenn Greenwald in his new book, "No
Place to Hide."
The documents unveil a remarkable project to expose to state scrutiny
vital information about every person who falls within the grasp of the
colossus - in principle, every person linked to the modern electronic
society.
Nothing so ambitious was imagined by the dystopian prophets of grim totalitarian worlds ahead.
It is of no slight import that the project is being executed in one of
the freest countries in the world, and in radical violation of the U.S.
Constitution's Bill of Rights, which protects citizens from
"unreasonable searches and seizures," and guarantees the privacy of
their "persons, houses, papers and effects."
Much as government lawyers may try, there is no way to reconcile these
principles with the assault on the population revealed in the Snowden
documents.
It is also well to remember that defense of the fundamental right to
privacy helped to spark the American Revolution. In the 18th century,
the tyrant was the British government, which claimed the right to
intrude freely into the homes and personal lives of American colonists.
Today it is American citizens' own government that arrogates to itself
this authority.
