News Headlines (496) 26 April - 27 April 2014




ONLINE TODAY

26 April 2014 : It's just a little too easy to get frustrated today -- so make sure that you're not taking out that energy on other people. Try to find creative outlets for any negative emotions you may feel. You need to stick to the schedule for now, rather than turning your life upside-down on a whim. Today's energy favors routine, regularity and consistency above all else. Even if you find yourself wistfully glancing at travel brochures, remember that virtue really is its own reward. You've got plenty of time for thrills -- on your terms, that is -- once you make sure to take care of everything on your to-do list.

27 April 2014 : You need to use this great energy to take action -- it could be almost anything, really. The important thing is to get moving and stay in motion so you don't have time to think too hard. You've got to free your mind for the rest to follow. You've been putting up too many rules to govern your life, but now you might find them more burdensome than helpful. If so, you need to examine what's so important that caused you to build these real and imaginary fences. You need to spread your wings, but first you need to unlock your cage.

ABC NEWS 25 April 2014 : President Obama: Vladimir Putin 'Not Stupid Man' But Unlikely to Cave to Sanctions
Mr. Obama, you are just a big mouth! What's on your mind is so easy to read. You support Fascism in Europe, Extremism in the Middle East, and Militarism in Latin America! Conflict in Ukraine, Venezuela, and Syria have one thing in common: the U.S. government supports the "opposition" who is very eager to overthrow the government in power. Support is given politically, financial, or military.

The weirdness is, in all cases, the leading group which is controlled by "opposition" has nothing to do with democracy -- European fascist groups in Ukraine, extremist Wahhabis in Syria, and the elite / the enthusiast of military dictatorship tradition in Venezuela. If the group is in power, then the state conditions will be much worse than it does now, for example Ukraine. The day after the democratically elected government fled from Kiev, the 'opposition' leader to immediately notified the public that they 'had to make some unpopular decisions'. The new prime minister calling his cabinet as 'Kamikaze government.'

This 'suicide' government is required to seek loans from Western financial institutions -- such as IMF and European Commission -- which pretend to still maintain their prestige in exchange for money. Ukraine should do a massive savings where the standard of living in Ukraine will be destroyed like Greece. This is the real reason why the ousted President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych began to move closer to Russia, because Putin agreed to give money to Ukraine with no strings attached.

In Syria you consistently rely on right-wing extremists as the "opposition" leader against the Assad government. The Wahhabi extremists role in the style of al-Qaeda have been ignored by media, though their cruelty already piling up on Youtube. Syria is one of the most modern, cosmopolitan in the Middle East and is now being dragged back into the Dark Ages. Your ally in the region wants Syria looks like Saudi Arabia / your other close ally, where there is no political freedom, religion, or matters relating to employment.

Islamic version of Saudi Arabian being the type of ultra-right favored by dictatorial monarchy in the country. Like your fascist friends in Ukraine, you rely on other ultra-right ideology in Syria in an effort to create a pro-US government.

Latest opposition coalition / Syrian armed terrorists calling themselves the Islamic Front. U.S. media portray this group as "good rebels" versus al-Qaeda that also fights the Syrian government. But of course, the U.S. media is just silence when the strongest militia in Islamic Front, Ahrar ash-Sham, declare themselves as representatives of the "original" al-Qaeda in Syria. The U.S. politicians have long known that the Ahrar ash-Sham ideologically linked to al-Qaeda, you know?

If you are successful and Islamic Front to power, then Syria will experience cultural devolution as Afghanistan in the Taliban era. In the meantime, you and the U.S. media will continue to provide significant political support for the unfeasible opposition.

Venezuela has also recently been in the news because rocked by ultra-right opposition protests supported 100 percent by your regime. Your regime provides the political and financial support to Venezuelan opposition. If the Venezuelan opposition in power, I know exactly what they will do. In an instant they will take over power in a US-backed military coup in 2002. They will instantly dissolve all democratic institutions which governing the country. They prefer the type of political system that serves them well for hundreds of years pre-Chavez dictatorship.

Your government chooses this type of foreign policy because the target countries "has been out of the orbit of U.S. control, and only the ultra-right groups are keen to pull back into the U.S. orbit. Finally, the U.S. capitalists will reap mounting profits when a country depends on the U.S. loans and products such as the weapons, manufactured goods, foodstuffs, and others.

That's why you will not let Latin America, the Middle East, or Eastern Europe to be independent or fall into the orbit of the US regional power's balancer such as Russia. Too much profit at stake. Peace is not an option for you, right?

To stop the madness of endless war of your foreign policy, the U.S. government itself must be changed fundamentally. The U.S. rulers are those who support the capitalist economic system. You never stop to provoke a war for profit, whereas the economic system without a profit motive does not need the foreign wars.

Show me who your friends are and I will tell who you are!

What the heck is done by the big boy? He does not sing or dance in K pop or try Gangnam style at all, but he holds the binoculars from a distance, inspecting the rocket launch with a strange hairdo which grows on the his too small head for his chubby cheeks, and he walks with a grin to the ranks of his army -- the people who were born not to smile but only for dead or alive, so do not ever expect them to reply with their grinning or friendly wink, and Jong Un is very happy about it, .... ehhehee ... but still he makes me wonder to myself, "What's in his head?" Certainly it is not about his super crested haircut, stupid! So, what? Nuke and innocent people (South Koreans) are lying dead? So, there is a plan for humanity crimes under his funny hair growth?

Auw...Jong Un! If I'm your mother, I'll pinch your ass as punishment for what you're thinking! Go against the wall! Stand up! Lift your leg then tweak your right ear with your left hand and tweak your left ear with your right hand. Do it alternately for half an hour in 2 hours. No TV shows, food, snacks and drinks at all for you, understand?

Starvation for 2 hours will not make you die, but with such sanction you will understand that living in hunger is still more valuable than dead, although the death will set you free from hunger, understand? If you do not understand at all, then there will be new sanctions await you over your lack of understanding.

Stop your enmity with your compatriots!

Russia's Lavrov: West plotting to control Ukraine



Lavrov accuses US of seeking to 'smear Russia'
You will never dare to attack Russia with your military strength, America! The state does not have much money to do that, because it is tantamount to suicide. Remember one important thing, you are almost bankrupt because of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. How much money did you spend and how many Americans have died because of your ignorance to satisfy the Bush's paranoid symptoms, hm?

So, if during this time the western media always proclaim your might, it is just because you are enthusiast of sensational things, -- it is the root of your culture: party, sensation, hypocritical diplomacy, and always feeling warm in a blanket of lies -- but you are no longer rational.

This woman has become the Russia slanderer. Cunning and dirty.

You will never be the president of Ukraine, Tymoshenko. I do not see the profile of a good president is within you. A good president will always think objectively and will always shy away from personal conflict with anyone. But you do not do it. Whenever there is an opportunity to perform in public, you always spit your hatred to Putin. And this is a very dropping stance for the would-be leader, because if you become the country leader, you should not run your foreign policy based on your subjective views, understand?

I suggest you to do more of psychiatric consultation before bragging more about the relationship of Russia and Ukraine in public. The impact of depression as a hallmark of every ex-convict is clearly visible in your expression. Mmm, are you behind her release from prison, America? Ehhhehee

'Russia seeks World War Three: Ukraine PM
I wonder how an idiot can become a prime minister in Ukraine and so vociferous in distorting the facts.

Although you feel great because you have been helped by the U.S., and you feel comfortable in NATO's caresses, but you're not the U.S., and you're not a superpower. And you do not have enough military and political strength against Russia. Please be aware of this important fact.

Ehud Barak: Iran wants to annihilate Israel, we take this threat seriously
I pity those who woke up every morning with the thought they would be killed. How unhappy their lives, because their fears has become their world, and their consciousness has been cut off from reality. Technology of Iran is a religious-based technology; Islamic technology. And you may check in all the teachings of Islam, there is not a single verse in the Quran which justify Islam to be a destroyer religion for other people, because Islam is a religion for the benefit of living together.

If Iran wants to wipe you off this world's map, Israel, hence, does not need too much time to let you prepare for victory over Iran while allowing you occasionally hit Syria and Lebanon. Iran will do that since Ahmadinejad's leadership. And all of what you are afraid of never happen until now.

So my advice, you do not need to accuse Iran will annihilate you if what you have in your mind is just fear and dread.

Oh, dahliiing, ...... I'm fantasizing about the international psychology organization whose job is to provide a series of enlightenment and spiritual guidance for the nation's mental illness. So far the world has its international court, international law, etc, and all institutions with national shades, but they forget that mental health is the most important thing in the present era. I believe that nuclear weapons will not hurt even an ant if they are in the hands of sane people.

Human good will defeat all the force of arms, and this human sanity needs to be preserved and maintained so that it is not eroded by terrible madness.

► This isn't a good time to try new endeavors -- not even those that seem like they are the best of ideas. Your energy is just better suited to cleaning up old problems or motoring along on the same paths. Your life has been rather interesting recently. You've challenged authority and come away virtually unscathed, and then you moved on to handle cranky relatives, jealous friends and a sweetie with a bit of an attitude for no good reason. It's long past time for you to take a break and allow the universe to arrange for a last-minute change of plans that is sure to work out well for you.

FILM &ANIMATION : Half-Ton Killer. On 18 March 2008 a two-year-old boy was beaten to death in a Texan border town. His aunt, Mayra Rosales, was the only one with him at the time and was charged with his murder. But was this really possible? Mayra weighed nearly 500 kg, was bed-ridden and totally immobile. So why was she confessing to a heinous crime she seemingly could not have committed? This incredible film follows the many twists and turns in the case with intimate interviews with Mayra, her family, and the investigators, lawyers and doctors involved. Mayra Rosales is 28 years old and weighs 74 stone; unsparing, humiliating footage shows the fat cascading around her as she is hauled from her bed and her house by tarpaulin. There is so much tumbling flesh Rosales doesn't appear to have a body, she's just a huge, wobbling mound. In 2008 she was accused of murdering her two-year-old nephew in a Texan border town.

The case has triggered one of those American trash-media frenzies with Rosales claiming she accidentally fell on the child. Accused wonders if Rosales really could have committed such a dreadful crime. An insight into a high-profile American murder trial in which 74st Texas woman Mayra Rosales confessed to beating her two-year-old nephew to death. As the only person in the company of the youngster when he died, Mayra became the prime suspect, and the programme follows the twists and turns of the trial, discovering how a bedridden, immobile woman appeared to be admitting to a crime it seemed unlikely she was able to commit. Includes testimony from Mayra, her family and friends, and the doctors, lawyers and investigators involved in the case. Published on Jun 2, 2013 by DocuFilmTV

23 April 2014 : Set goals today -- you may need to replace a few, as you've had some serious success lately. Now is a good time to figure out what you want and how to get there. Things are moving along nicely for you. Comfortable? Good. Because you'll be interviewing potential partners for the next few days, and you'll need to give that tender task your full attention. Yes, it's a tough job. But heaven knows if anyone is up for tough jobs, it's you. Now settle down, pull out your yellow legal pad and your special pen, and get to work. Only so many hours are in a day.

24 April 2014 : Today's issue is of vital importance, so do your best to take it seriously -- even if it seems silly on the surface. You can't get it figured out without some help, and a friend comes by at just the right time.

So, what's the problem if it is under control? Anyway, you know the worse thing is still done by the U.S. government: spying on its citizens, right? For what purpose? State security from the threat of terrorism, both latent and manifest. So, why are you so noisy if Russia does almost the same thing --but not entirely the same -- to take action for security and stability in its country?

Well, it only takes one sniper and honest answer to a thousand other headlines: because you are anti-Russian. You are Russophobia!

Mmm... is there a phobia of Americans? What's it called? Amerophobia? Columbophobia? Ah, whatever. The point is hatred.

Do you love me, honey?

Nope, dahling. I actually hate you, you know? ehehehhe....

I do not know whether we should take a break in a love relationship, but I really want a short break in unlimited period. I do not know why I feel "tired" and he doesn't. He just laughed out loud when I said I wanted to rest for a while of this togetherness. He said, "We have not arrived at the destination, yet, but if you are tired you can enjoy a little break while we still keep going achieve our goals."

The word "purpose/goal/destination/and all its synonyms" is the most touching thing of what he thinks. Maybe it is the set of ideas: having many children, adding the family savings, caring for and raising children, growing old together, and die together. Well, after we die, will we be together forever? Then I've been seeing how the process of building demolition in my head. We've built it over the years. The entire cost, time, and effort has been devoted to it. Now, it's all crushed to dust in just a wink my eyelashes? Actually, am I cruel or stupid? Arrrgh... why do you keep asking? I've said before, I'm tired. Ah, I will include him in improving our spiritual intelligence.

Binge drinking 'link to overeating'
Undergoing all day activities with our little hungry stomach is better for the body than eating and drinking until our stomach will explode as being too full. For me, such a situation does not ennoble our humanity, but it is a shameful thing, because we have allowed the food and beverage control our minds and our bodies become the victims of our negligence. Undergo periodic fasting is also good for our health, both physically and spiritually.

My message , "Stop eating before feeling full."

Ouch ... I can imagine how sickening to deal with groups of fools who define partially any word related to : Do not smoke cigarettes, because it will kill you!

But if you want to die because you feel old and feel worthy enough to die, helpless with your bad habits in the remnants of your age (one of them is smoking cigarettes), go ahead. Please die. Maybe it's good to reduce the human population on earth.

For non-smokers, let's wear the mask to protect us -- wherever we are, especially when we are in the same environment with the smokers -- from exposure to cigarette smoke.
