Greece has been basically spending money it doesn't have,  and that for years........ There was a time when the Global economy was in a better state, so different governments of Greece took advantage and burrowed a lot of money to finance prestige projects like the Olympic 2004 and/or raising wages of public servants to raise the standards of living and expanding its middle class…As a result Greece continuously built up a bigger and bigger deficit. The definition of deficit is…The difference between the amount a country brings in with/through Tax and what it spends. This method, caused Greece to enjoy a so called “boom” for years, not forgetting the highly successful and expensive Olympics that supplemented a domestic impression of stability and well being…. But it wasn’t long before the Global economy started to stumble, Greece started to stumble too. Banks that lent the money started to declassify Greece as a country with financial management problems….....argume...

“The Iranians are on the march,” warned John McCain Sunday. “Iran is building a new Persian Empire,” echoed Col. Ralph Peters. So alarmed is Speaker Boehner, he invited Netanyahu to come and challenge U.S. policy toward Iran from the same podium where the president delivered his State of the Union address. Netanyahu will make the case for new US sanctions on Iran; sanctions that Obama has said he will veto as they would sabotage talks on Iran’s nuclear program and potentially put us on the road to war. Why are Netanyahu`s insights needed? Because, says Sen. Robert Menendez, the outgoing chairman of foreign relations, White House statements sound like “talking points from Tehran.” This beloved poodle of AIPAC is always a strong contender for best in show. “Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence … a free people ought to be constantly awake, since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican gove...

A never ending psychodrama of collective social mass manipulation everywhere and by everyone. The murderers of those world weary journalists in Paris were probably none more than a few naive, adventurous and apocalyptic oriented youngsters, recruited and radicalised by Saudi Arabian terrorist headhunters. Headhunters that are of the same magnitude as those CIA or Mossad headhunters that constantly recruit young drifters with desperate aspirations, turn them and send them to murder scientists and engineers in countries not in their political sphere (Iran).....having said that, there are no differences between these terrorists and those terrorists. As long as terrorism is the instrument to gain political and social agendas, then one probably ought not be surprised to see the backlashes right at their front doors... Terrorism with all its hypocrisy is being used , as it seems, by everyone ! We saw the indignation and outrage throughout France and some other weste...

The U.S. Air Force quietly keeps a small, inconspicuous spy ship in the Persian Gulf, presumably in order to keep an eye on Iran’s missile launches. Technically speaking, USNS Invincible —a  69 Meter vessel displacing a mere 2,800 tons—belongs to Military Sea-lift Command, the quasi-civilian branch of the Navy that operates America’s military logistics ship and other specialist vessels. But Invincible is just a hull—unremarkable, painted white and maintained by 18 civilian contractors. It’s what’s inside and atop the hull that really matters. A sophisticated, dual X- and S-band radar called Gray Star that belongs to the Air Force. No one says much about Invincible or Gray Star. Military Sea-lift Command calls the vessel a “missile range instrumentation ship” whose job it is to “monitor missile launches and collect data. ”The Air Force’s Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Agency, in its official history for 2012, lumps Gray Star in with its sea-based sy...
