The Turkish Medical Association may have been right when it announced it was "terribly worried … about the emotional well-being of [Turkish] Prime Minister Erdogan." (March 16) (Image: WAFF)
The PM reinforced the medical opinion when he broke from reality in his remarks on the major mine disaster at Soma Mining, Manisa, Turkey. Erdogan casually dismissed the tragedy of the 282 dead miners.
"I went back in British history. Some 204 people died there after a mine collapsed in 1838. In 1866, 361 miners died in Britain. In an explosion in 1894, 290 people died there. Take America with all of its technology and everything ... In 1907, 361 [miners died there]. These are usual things.” PM Erdogan, Manisa, May 14, 2014
Erdogan made this statement while over a 100 miners remained trapped in the collapsed mine.

Forget all you have been told about American courts. Justice and law have nothing to do with the courts of 2014. Today, judges act as employees of the rich and powerful, oppressing and imprisoning the weak and innocent. Justice is history.
When I went to law school, I was under the illusion that the purpose of the courts was to interpret the Constitution and laws and attempt to ensure that some form of justice or fairness took place in the cases before it. I was naive and believed in the illusion of justice. I thought that, if you had the law on your side, you would do well. When the Supreme Court stopped the counting of votes in Florida in 2000, they did so in contravention of the U.S. Constitution and the laws of the land. They stopped the vote-counting because they didn't want Al Gore to be President and not because there was any basis in law. Do you really think the decision in Citizens United had any rational relationship to the Constitution? Do you really think the lower court judges are any more likely to follow the laws of the land than the NDAA President, the PATRIOT Act Congress or the corporate personhood Supreme Court?
In 2014, the majority of judges and attorneys are openly breaking the oaths they took when first becoming judges and attorneys. They have dropped any pretended interest in fairness, justice, the truth or the law. Most honest attorneys have fled the profession, finding more honorable work elsewhere. Most attorneys who continue to practice are bottom-feeders, taking bribes from opposing parties, scamming their clients and breaking the law when paid to do so. The exceptions are rare. If you go to the bar conventions, you learn that those running the state bar are well aware that law and justice have no relationship to the practice of "law. Instead, the practice of "law" is about about money and power. If you have money and power, you own the courts. If you don't, you better hope that you get one of the three or four honest judges who hasn't been given the boot.

The so-called "newspaper of record" is an establishment broadsheet. It represents wealth, power and privilege.
It's America's lead instrument of state propaganda. It marches in lockstep with official US policy.
It's a virtual Washington house organ. A lying machine. A de facto ministry of state misinformation.
Vital truths are buried. Managed news rubbish substitutes. Core journalistic ethics are violated. Readers are systematically lied to.
They deserve better. They're cheated on what matters most. They're betrayed.
It bears repeating what previous articles stressed. All the news fit to print isn't fit to read.
Famed Chicago columnist Mike Royko (1932- 1997) once said "no self-respecting fish would (want to) be wrapped in a Murdoch paper..." Or the NYT he might have added.

A previous article called Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov a world class diplomatic. He shames his Western counterparts.
He's a true peace advocate. He works tirelessly for it. He faces long odds. He's matched against Washington's villainy.
It prioritizes war on humanity. It rages out-of-control. It's for unchallenged world dominance.
It's about eliminating all independent governments. It's for destroying their sovereignty.
It's about replacing them with pro-Western stooges. Eliminating major rivals matter most.
Lavrov said seeds for ongoing Ukrainian crisis conditions were sown in April 2008. It's when US-led NATO urged Ukraine and Georgia maintain closer alliance relations.
Plans to do so were discussed. It happened "during the (April 2008) NATO summit in Bucharest," said Lavrov.
It's "when NATO leaders stated in a declaration that Georgia and Ukraine would be in NATO."

On Sunday, Donetsk and Lugansk residents voted. Democracy triumphed overwhelmingly.
Both regions declared independence. Self-determination is inviolable. It's a universal right.
Not according to Washington. Reaction was as expected. It didn't surprise.
State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki lied calling both referendums "illegal." They reflect real democracy in action.
"We do not recognize the illegal referendum that took place in portions of Donetsk and Luhansk over the weekend," she said.
"It was illegal under Ukrainian law and an attempt to create further division and disorder in the country."

On Sunday, Donetsk and Lugansk regional referendums were held. Democracy triumphed overwhelmingly.
Almost 90% of Donetsk residents voted for self-determination. For local autonomy. For self-rule. Accounting to Central Election Commission head Roman Lyagin:
"Counting the ballots proved to be surprisingly easy. The number of people who said 'no' was relatively small, and there appeared to be only a tiny proportion of spoiled ballots, so we managed to carry out counting quite fast."
"The figures are as follows: 89.07 percent voted 'for' (self rule),10.19 percent voted 'against' and 0.74 percent of ballots were rendered ineligible."
"The region is witnessing the escalation of violence," he added. "(L)ots or armed people have come to the region. Sometimes it is impossible to say whom these people represent."
Ballot deliveries were impeded. They were "beset by the danger to the life and health of members of election commission" members.
Final Lugansk results showed 96.2% for self-rule. Election Committee deputy chairman Alexander Malykhyn announced it.

He's a world class confidence man. He's a multi-billionaire predatory investor.
He's a new world order corporate pirate. He's known for rogue investing. He's made billions from human misery.
He cashes in irresponsibly. He'll do anything for greater profits. He does so from imperial wars. He gains hugely from financial ones. He uses wealth to accumulate more of it.
In late April, the New York Review of Books headlined "The Future of Europe: An Interview with George Soros." Der Spiegel correspondent Gregor Peter Schmitz conducted it.
Ukraine was discussed. Soros called Russia an "emerging…big geopolitical player…" EU nations have "a resurgent rival on (their) east," he said.
Putin enjoys overwhelming popularity. It exceeds 80%. Soros ludicrously claimed he "lead(s) from a position of weakness."

Have the feds learned anything since 9/11? Can they stop foreign child molesters from entering the country to grab and silence American kids? Can young Americans kids disappear for sexual human trafficking purposes with government acquiescence?
Orange, CA, May 13, 2014: In the Lamoreaux Courthouse in Orange County, CA, attorneys acting on behalf an alleged child molester were openly discussing details of sneaking a Thai/Pakistani citizen into the United States past the police and feds. The Lamorequx Injustice Center is where abuse victims and sexually abused children are subjected to years of nightmares.
What was the purpose? A judge is requiring the man to come to a hearing on June 27, 2014, before the judge will allow the man to move his nine-year-old daughter (against the daughter’s and her mother’s wishes) out of the country. Police records reveal that the child told the police the father sexually abused her many times. Required reporting personnel saw the girl bleeding from a certain private part of her body after the father had obtained custody of the daughter but before he left the country.
Mahatep Srikureja is reportedly being denied re-admission to the United States because of concerns of the Department of Homeland Security. In Orange County, there is a $50,000 bench warrant in place on the man. According to police records, the Tustin Police asked the Orange County District Attorney to prosecute the man on numerous counts of sexual abuse (including oral and anal sex with the minor) . According to further police records, the Tustin Police wanted to have the father's computer searched for large numbers of child pornographic photographs prior to the man’s departure from the United States. A week ago in court, the sitting judge in the case stated that each of these charges, if prosecuted, would carry a possible life sentence for the man.
Though Mahatep Srikureja is currently reportedly in Canada, there is a possibility he will be deported to a different country where sex with minors is legal and where the little girl can disappear.
The mother, an upstanding professional, is seeking to find out from her daughter if the girl is OK. The girl is being forced to live with questionable handlers chosen by the alleged child molester. People who have seen the girl say they believe she is scared and being held prisoner against her will.
Making the matter worse, a man who has been appointed as minor’s counsel did not even pretend to be interested in helping the child but rather only in helping the man the police tried to have prosecuted for molesting the child. It appeared his goal was to join the father's counsel in silencing the child and helping the alleged child molester get her out of the country. The mother wanted to speak with the child but this "child's" counsel, seemingly acting as an advocate for the molester, demanded she only get one shot at speaking with the girl and that he be allowed to terminate the conversation at any moment if he didn't like what was being said.
He seemed very concerned about what the child might reveal to the mother.
What does this child know that they are trying to hide by silencing her or shipping her out of the country?
So the question remains, will minor’s counsel and others helping the alleged child molester be able to sneak Mahatep Srikureja past Homeland Security, past Immigration and Customs Enforcement and past other federal officials, and past the local police in order to get the alleged child molester into Orange County to grab the little girl and make her disappear before June 27 or in order to appear at the Lamoreaux Justice Center on June 27th to get the judge in the case to authorize the American child's removal from the country. Stranger things have happened. On 9/11/01, the alleged hijackers who allegedly boarded the infamous planes were being watched by federal officials. So maybe there is a travel exception for foreigners suspected of committing or planning crimes.
Here is a list of charges upon which the Tustin Police wanted Mahatep Srikkureja prosecuted:
California Penal Code Secion 288 (a)-Lewd Act
California Penal Code Section 173 (a) (b) Child Abuse
California Penal Code Section 188.5 -Continual Sexual Abuse of a Child
California Penal Code SEction 289 (a) (1) (A) - Anal Penetration
California Penal Code Section188 (a) (a) Oral Copulation
California Penal Code Section 188.7 (b)- Oral Copulation with a Victim under 10 Years Old
