Arab news broadcaster Al Jazeera was spied on by the National Security Agency, according to documents seen by SPIEGEL. The US intelligence agency hacked into protected communication, a feat that was considered a particular success.

The United States intelligence agency was so interested, in fact, that it hacked into Al Jazeera's internal communications system, according to documents from former NSA contractor and whistleblower Edward Snowden that have been seen by SPIEGEL.

Ann Kreilkamp ~Obama, just last night, “a change of heart.”

I had been wondering how Obama could live with himself, ordering a massive strike on Syria solo, with unknown, unintended consequences. Wondering how he could look in on his sleeping children at night, knowing that the decision he made could conceivably, if everything went wrong, and indeed it could, blow up the whole world. So I was very happy to read this post, and I find the phrase “change of heart” instructive.

 

Before reading it I had been thinking that perhaps Obama is, consciously or unconsciously, looking for a way out of the corner he has painted himself in, and the fact that Congress doesn’t return until September 9th may well defuse the crisis enough so that a third way can be found that allows him to “save face,” spares the lives of who knows how many innocents, permanently derails the Empire’s Plan to take over the world, and, echoing the Cuban Missile Crisis, could even begin to shift the world, quite possibly, into a new, non-violent, paradigm for resolving seemingly intractable issues.

Diana, that SAS murder claim and why it may not be as mad as you think: 16 years on, the conspiracy theories won't go away.
Sue Reid, who's studied all the evidence, found tantalising new clues

Mail Online - 8/30/13, Sue Reid

The families of Henri Paul and Dodi al Fayed (pictured with Princess Diana) have always believed their was a murder plot

But — however unlikely they may seem at first glance — I am convinced there is something in Soldier N’s claims. 

Ever since Diana’s death at the age of 36, I have investigated forensically the events that led up to the crash and what happened afterwards.

"Blue Room" is a single by The Orb. It was released on 8 June 1992 on Big Life Records. Gallup, who compiled the UK singles chart, had recently decided that any release with more than 40 minutes of play would be classified as an album rather than single. The Orb thus decided to record a 39:57 version of "Blue Room" for a special release. "Blue Room" is the longest single to ever reach the UK charts,[1] peaking at number eight. An edited version appears on the album U.F.Orb.

Imagine if you could pick up the Greenland Ice Sheet and see what lies beneath. Surely 1.7 million square kilometers of slowly thawing ice must rest on a massive pool of melted water, right?

Not necessarily, according to a study released today in the journal Science. Unlike the ice sheet covering Antarctica that sits atop numerous lakes, the Greenland Ice Sheet blankets a giant subglacial canyon nearly twice as long as the Grand Canyon located in Arizona. (Read: "Changing Greenland" in National Geographic magazine.)

Miracles

“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”
- Albert Einstein

Do you believe in miracles? If so, what would you define as being a miracle? Is it a seemingly impossible feat or sequence of events that ultimately winds up saving a life, just in the nick of time? Is it the vivid apparition of a holy entity among masses of people? Or do the enchanting and mystical expressions of nature in every waking moment constitute as being a series of small miracles strung together?

How Americas Most Powerful News Media Worked Hand in Glove with the Central Intelligence Agency and Why the Church Committee Covered It Up

BY CARL BERNSTEIN

In 1953, Joseph Alsop, then one of America’s leading syndicated columnists, went to the Philippines to cover an election. He did not go because he was asked to do so by his syndicate. He did not go because he was asked to do so by the newspapers that printed his column. He went at the request of the CIA.
