1. 14 minute video interview with Ed Snowdon. (As usual, it is interesting and worth hearing whether he is a hero or a villain to you, and yes, a strong case can be made either way.)
2. Cabbie in jail for trying to rape teacher ‘who looked like mum’
3. Kurd Attacked in Sweden for Hanging Israeli Flag (from last week)
COPENHAGEN, Denmark – A 38-year-old Swedish-Kurd was assaulted with bottles and a metal pipe last week in the Swedish city of Malmo after displaying an Israeli flag from his kitchen window.
Ismail Aryan Babak, a Kurd born in northern Iraq before moving with his family to Iran, said that someone first smashed the window where he had hanged the flag. When he went out to enquire, he was beaten by several people waiting outside his home.
4. Daily Mail article on downed Malaysian 777
(The DM has video and images and some decent information that may help lead to a likely suspect. The claim is that pro-Russian forces were seen in the area with this type of weapon)
5. Details of the missile that was alleged to be the one used to bring down the Malaysian 777
The surface-to-air missile launcher that a Ukrainian official says brought down a Malaysia Airlines plane near the Russian border Thursday was developed by the Soviet Union to intercept targets up to 72,000 feet in the air.
(Thank you M, Richard, Buck and all. This post is heavy on the aircraft that was shot down because this is what might be considered a geopolitically sensitive event. Depending on who is blamed for shooting it and how other parties react to it. This could be an accident and left alone, or exactly as is reported, or a false flag to give permission to someone to carry out a plan. In any case, immediately following the announcement of this event, Silver spiked a dollar twenty nearly instantly. The sharp spike from 20.80 to twenty one twenty three is right when this happened. H/T GoV on that one)

This makes no sense at all. I wouldn’t be surprised if some Russian soldier didn’t just get really, really drunk and fire a missile off because he was, well…really, really drunk! Why would anybody shoot down a Malaysian passenger plane?
Israel Launches Major Ground Operation In Gaza

IDF Launches Ground Operation against Gaza
The Prime Minister’s Office has issued a statement that says the IDF has embarked on a ground assault into Gaza against Hamas’s tunnels.
The operation is deemed as “limited” and will probably not go further than two or three kilometers into Gaza’s territory. This is deemed to be deep enough in enemy land to find the openings into Hamas’s attack tunnels, like the one that was used in Thursday morning’s infiltration into Israel by 13 terrorists.
Egypt, meanwhile, has issued a statement saying that Hamas is to blame for the possible deaths of hundreds of Gazan civilians. The statement appears to have purposely been issued simultaneously with the statement from the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office.
Channel 2’s reporters said earlier that the IDF has unleashed a blistering artillery barrage against northern Gaza. They hinted that this type of barrage often precedes a ground invasion.

“He claimed she was as beautiful as his mother and told her to call him her son.
The Irish lady asked him to leave, but he threatened to kill her if she didn’t call him ‘son’.”
See, when a Muslim gives you a gift, such as praise, you have to accept it and in return give what is expected back. She didn’t, and that insulted Islam. Under Sharia no offense was committed by him. So there needs to be a government regulatory body set up for Sharia courts to deal with the hundreds of issues like these which she must go to.
Sharia Halal Islamic Rape of Kufar.
2. I haven’t heard a strong case to show Snowden is a villain. The strongest case i heard was that Spying does take place and some company lost some sales of military equipment. If that is all they got he is a a hero.
Assuming that the plane was shot down, then it could be either the separatists or the Ukrainians. Either way, we will never know, as knowledge will be too damaging to the US, Russia and the world as a whole. Far better it will be argued within the corridors of power that the parties to come to agreement. We might then guess who is responsible
1. If the Ukrrainian separatists are left high and dry by Russia, under the pretext of a peace agreement, then it is the separatists are the ones.
2. If the Ukrainian government agrees to a federation, also under the guise of peace and all that, then it is the Ukrainians.
However, most airline disasters are accidents. This could be one as well. Maybe here was a fire and an explosion, or maybe one engine flew apart, the turbine blades scything through the electric cables.
The other common reason for an aircraft disaster is Jihadi action. If so, then the MH370 has to be considered in conjunction with MH17, i.e., someone has a big gripe against Malaysia.
Re: #5, the silver spike was likely opportunistic bidding by speculators. I used to work next to a commodity futures firm, and all they did when I popped in to BS was watch the news and make trades. Every wall had at least 3 TVs on it, going all the time. It was like a sports bar for news in there.
Re: Snowden
Total control of the population
The “War on Terror” is a gigantic fraud used to instill fear and further the creation of an unconstitutional surveillance state in America is absolutely true. The “terrorists” they have declared war on are the American people themselves. “The NSA is not just pursuing terrorism, as it claims, but ordinary citizens going about their daily communications. The NSA is mass-collecting on everyone, and it’s said to be about terrorism but inside the US it has stopped zero attacks

#5 This wasn’t a high enough spike for it to be anything but opportunistic speculators, a deliberate scam would have driven it higher.
