I suppose the old hippie question from the late 60s and 70s which seemed so clever at the time,
“What would happen if they gave a war and nobody came?”
was actually entirely beside the point. The question they should have been asking was:
“What would happen if they gave a war and only one side came”.
Which in fact is the case now and of course the answer is you lose as fast as you can make white flags.

June 21 2014 – Chinese police shoot dead 13 attackers in restive Xinjiang
Chinese police shot dead 13 attackers in the restive far-western region of Xinjiang on Saturday after they rammed a car into a police station and detonated explosives, Xinhua news agency said, in the latest of a series of attacks to worry Beijing.
[…] It was not immediately clear who was responsible for Saturday’s violence.
“The gangsters drove a truck to ram the building of the public security bureau of Yecheng County in southern Xinjiang and set off explosives. Police shot and killed 13 attackers at the scene,” Xinhua said, adding that three police were slightly wounded.
[…]The rise in violence has prompted a crackdown on violent crime. Authorities in Xinjiang have arrested dozens of suspects in recent weeks for spreading extremist propaganda, possessing banned weapons and other crimes.
[…]Chinese leaders have also been directing investment into Xinjiang. Xi pledged last month to alleviate poverty and improve ethnic unity in the region, the most direct indication yet that China’s leaders want to address the causes of violence.
2. Melbourne Jewish Temple’s Interfaith Deception!
(Please pay special attention to this item and file it away in the same part of your brain as what took place at the Vatican on June 8th 2014 and try to recall it when I finish the Stephen Coughlin interview on Interfaith and its genesis and purpose. It is far more sinister than it looks)
3. Sunni militant infighting kills 17 in Iraq’s Kirkuk
Sunni militants who fought together to capture swathes of Iraqi territory have turned their weapons on each other during clashes in Kirkuk province that cost 17 lives, sources said Saturday.
The fighting erupted on Friday evening between the jihadist Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and the Army of the Men of the Naqshbandiyah Order (JRTN) in Hawija, in Kirkuk province, said the sources.

4. Sri Lanka’s Largest Muslim Owned “No Limit” Panadura
A fire gutted a Muslim-owned clothing chain in a Sri Lanka district Saturday where days earlier Buddhist mobs attacked Muslim shops in deadly violence condemned by the international community, police said.
Police spokesman Ajith Rohana said an investigation was underway to determine whether the fire was caused by an electrical short-circuit or was a criminal act.
(The article goes on to suggest it could be the work of EBM’s, Everyone but Muslims, when history shows that as a rule, it is Muslims doing it due to a power struggle or for insurance etc. as we see with British mosques, which, when vandalized typically is by muslims.
However it should come as no shock that when Islam wages war on the rest of the world, sooner or later the rest of the world will fight back.)

Africa’s Ebola outbreak ‘out of control’, warns MSF (BBC/video, June 20, 2014)
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-27950827
“The charity Medecins Sans Frontieres has said the Ebola outbreak in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia is totally out of control. Ebola was first reported around March in Guinea, and has since spread to some neighbouring countries. Director of Operations at MSF, Dr Bart Janssens, warned the epidemic would spread to more countries, unless there was a stronger international response.”
That’s really helpful comment from the MSF.
Court confirms Egypt Muslim Brotherhood death sentences (BBC/video, June 21, 2014)
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-27952321
“An Egyptian court has confirmed death sentences for 183 Muslim Brotherhood supporters accused of a 2013 attack on a police station, lawyers say.
A judge had recommended the death penalty for the 683 defendants, in a widely-criticised mass trial in April.
Mohammed Badie, leader of the banned group, was among those whose sentences were upheld. Appeals are now likely.
The military-installed government has sentenced hundreds of its opponents since December.
Authorities have cracked down harshly on Islamists since former President Mohammed Morsi, who belongs to the Muslim Brotherhood, was removed by the military in July 2013 following mass protests.
Saturday’s verdict was delivered by a court in the town of Minya, south of Cairo.
Four of the defendants were given sentences of 15-25 years in jail and the rest were acquitted.
The defendants were accused of involvement in the murder and attempted murder of policemen in Minya province on 14 August 2013, the day police killed hundreds of Muslim Brotherhood supporters in clashes in Cairo….”
Citing security, U.S. moves some from Nairobi embassy (CNN, June 21, 2014)

“The United States is relocating some staff from its embassy in Kenya to other countries because of “recent changes in Kenya’s security situation,” the State Department announced Friday. The embassy will remain open.
“The U.S. government continues to receive information about potential terrorist threats aimed at U.S., Western, and Kenyan interests in Kenya, including the Nairobi area and the coastal cities of Mombasa and Diani,” the State Department said in a statement.
Al Qaeda terrorists bombed the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi in August 1998, killing 224 people, including 12 U.S. citizens.”
JUNE 21 2014 – ‘Israeli FM will move to expel UN coordinator’
Robert H. Serry denies Lieberman’s accusation he plotted to transfer money to Hamas amid Israeli crackdown
Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman will move to expel from the country the United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Robert H. Serry, claiming he is aiding Hamas, Israeli media reported Saturday.
According to Israel’s Channel 2 News, Lieberman accused Serry of attempting to transferring tens of millions of dollars to the Gaza Strip-based militant group.
The report comes amid an Israeli crackdown on Hamas operatives in the West Bank, where an intense hunt for three kidnapped Israeli teenagers is taking place. Rockets are being launched at southern Israel from the Hamas-controlled Gaza strip on a daily basis.
[…]The Dutch-born career diplomat is additionally holding the post of the UN Secretary-General’s Personal Representative to the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority.
