THE DANGERS THAT STILL BEFALLS OUR MEN AND WOMEN SERVING IN HARMS WAY AS AFGHANISTAN DEEMED MISSIONED ACCOMPLISHED BY THE POTUS BHO HAS LEFT MORE MEN AND WOMEN KILLED IN UNIFORM SINCE TAKING THE POTUS SPOT IN 2008 AS NOW 2 MORE AMERICANS GIVE THEIR LIFE FOR DUTY IN AFGHANISTAN–CAPT MATTEW D ROLAND AND STAFF SGT FORREST B SIBLEY KILLED NEAR CAMP ANTONIK BY TWO AFGHAN SOLDIERS IN UNIFORM WHO WERE THEN IN RETURNED WERE SHOT AND KILLED IN AN EXCHANGE FIRE FIGHT

For the second time in a month, the Special Tactics community is mourning the loss of two of its airmen following an attack in Afghanistan on Aug. 25.

Capt. Matthew D. Roland, 27, and Staff Sgt. Forrest B. Sibley, 31, who were deployed in support of Operation Freedom’s Sentinel, were at a vehicle checkpoint near Camp Antonik when two individuals wearing Afghan National Defense and Security Forces uniforms opened fire on them. NATO service members returned fire and killed the shooters.

Roland and Sibley passed away from their wounds the following day.

“The losses of Matt and Forrest are a terrible blow to everyone who knew them,” said Col. Wolfe Davidson, 24th Special Operations Wing commander. “These two combat controllers were incredible warriors who not only volunteered to join our nation’s Special Operations Forces, but earned their way to the tip of the spear in defense of our nation.”

THE USDA HAPPENS TO HAVE MILLIONS OF YOUR MONEY TO SPEND AS $211 MILLION SLATED TO PROTECT THE GROUSE IN CA,CO, ND,OR,ID,MT,UT,WA,AND WY JUST SO HAPPENS TO BE PRIME SPOTS IN NATURAL EARTH ENERGY PRODUCTION–AS THE SAGE GROUSE WILL GET SPECIAL TREATMENTS AS MONEYS PROVIDED TO FARMERS, RANCHERS AND LAND TWICE THE SIZE OF YELLOWSTONE TO BE CONFISCATED TO PROTECT THE LOOK AT THE GROUSE BIRD TO THE EVENTUAL TUNE OF $760 MILLION BY 2018

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack on Thursday unveiled the government’s plan to spend $211 million over the next four years to protect the sage grouse and its habitat.

Under what officials are calling the Sage Grouse Initiative 2.0, ranchers will receive additional financial assistance to improve conservation efforts on their land to benefit the bird and their agricultural operations, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

In a statement, Vilsack said these “efforts are also good for cattle, good for ranching operations, and good for America’s rural economy.”

The government, along with private groups, have been working on conserving land to protect sage grouse since 2010. They have conserved 4.4 million acres, an area that's twice the size of Yellowstone National Park.

Between 2010 and last year, the government spent $296.5 million on those projects. By the end of 2018, the USDA expects it will have spent $760 million along with private partners.

The department said it worked with nearly a dozen states on the strategy: California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.

THE MISSING STOLEN NAZI GOLD TRAIN MAYBE DISCOVERED AS CLAIMS ALREADY FILED FROM RUSSIA TO THE WORLD JEWISH CONGRESS–AS TUNNELS FLOODED IN SOUTHERN POLAND OF THE HILLS OF LOWER SILESIA REVEALED BY RADAR EVIDENCE OF A TRAIN INTACT

Last week, the Polish government said that a man who helped bury the train had revealed its location shortly before his death. The authorities took a ground-penetrating radar to this spot – and, sure enough, a train was detected deep beneath the soil.

On Saturday, The Telegraph was given a tour of a nearby tunnel, complete with railway tracks leading into the depths of the earth.

A damp concrete floor, dimly lit with a row of lights, stretched out before us. This led first to a small underground chamber with a swastika carved into the roof, alongside the national symbol of Ukraine – perhaps the work of Ukrainian prisoners.

Then the tunnel sloped downwards, burrowing deeper into the ground. After about 900 yards, and several twists and turns, the passage broadened into a long and spacious chamber, at least 30ft high and 20ft wide – easily big enough for a train. Other chambers led off the main passageway, all similarly large.

In the 70 years since the tunnel was built, this section has been partially flooded by murky green water. It was cold, with the temperature hovering around six degrees centigrade. Unlike this tunnel, however, the entrance of which was destroyed by the Polish army, causing flooding, the section believed to house the train is undamaged - and the hopes are that its secrets have been preserved.

These labyrinthine tunnels are where the Nazis could have concealed a train filled with treasure. As if to emphasise the importance of the hiding place, the walls of the chamber and the connecting tunnel were once rigged with high explosives so the whole complex could be destroyed at the touch of a button. Even today, some of the charges probably remain.

WISCONSIN UNIVERSITY 700 FACULTY MEMBERS SIGNED PETITION TO CONTINUE BUYING BABY PARTS FROM PLANNED PARENT HOOD KILLING BABY MILL JUST SO THEY CAN DO RESEARCH SIMILAR TO HOW WW2 NAZI SCIENTISTS DOING RESEARCH IN THE NAME OF SCIENCE WITHOUT CONSCIENCE–THE AGENDA IS TO TAKE AWAY LIFE SO THEY CAN CHOOSE WHO SHOULD LIVE OR DIE

In July, Reps. Andre Jacque (R-De Pere) and Joel Kleefisch (R-Oconomowoc) introduced legislation that would ban the sale of fetal body parts in the state of Wisconsin and not allow federal funding to go toward Planned Parenthood. The LaCrosse Tribune reported that the legislation was a response to the scandal surrounding Planned Parenthood buying the body parts of aborted babies.

Now, nearly 700 faculty members from University of Wisconsin have signed a letter arguing that the bill would cut off “hope for patients” and deter biomedical students and the biotechnology industry from coming to their University because it shows “that Wisconsin is no place to do business.”

The letter says, “We wonder whether legislators have considered the ethical implications of denying current and future patients the benefits of the research that would be blocked by this legislation. Research done with cell lines derived from fetal tissue has benefited millions in the form of vaccines and treatments for diseases such as cancer, diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, heart disease, and viral and bacterial infections.”

Then, the letter alleges that prohibiting research on aborted babies’ body parts would “ risk untold numbers of lives” because they use it to find critical vaccines. The faculty explained, “The cell lines derived from fetal tissue are commonly used for research in laboratories worldwide. Other tissues and cells, such as those derived from miscarriages cannot be substituted for this research, despite the claims of the proponents of this ban.”

However, the truth is using aborted babies for medical research is unethically and hasn’t had much success compared to other forms of research. The Federalist reports that even though fetal tissue research receives $76 million in taxpayer funding, scientists are moving on to other methods because they believe it will produce better results.

The associate professor of bioethics at Case Western Reserve University, Insoo Hyun, explained, “Despite the long history of using fetal tissue in medicine and research, the practice could be on the way out. Even though it has led to important medical advances in the last several decades, ‘in the future, the need for fetal tissue will go down because of advances in stem cell [technology] that will take over.”

THE BACKLASH AGAINST CURT SCHILLING FOR TWEETING NAZIS ARE AKIN TO MUSLIMS–COMPARING AS GERMANS WHO WERE COMPLACENT OF THE NAZI MOVEMENT AND TODAY MUSLIMS COMPLACENT OF THEIR OWN EXTREMISTS KILLINGS AND TORTURE–BUT YET WOULD ATTACK THE MESSENGER WHO CALLS THEM OUT FOR DOING WHAT HISTORICALLY REVEALS THEIR TOLERANT OF WHAT SHOULD BE THE INTOLERANT AGAINST HUMANITY–YET IT WOULD SEEM TO BE REPEATED AS SILENCING THE MESSENGER IS WHAT THE US MEDIA DOES AS STUPID DOES SO IT DOES WHO FOLLOWS THE LEFTIST CONTROLLING MOTTO FROM FREEDOM INCLUDING SPEECH WHEN IT GOES AGAINST THE AGENDA–AND SO WHEN FREE PEOPLE DOES NOTHING THE SAME FREEDOM THEY EXERCISE THEREOF WILL ALSO BE DESTROYED

…….“Racist”? Schilling tweeted a graphic that read, “It’s said only 5-10% of Muslims are extremists. In 1940, only 7% of Germans were Nazis. How’d that go?” So where is the “racism”? What race are “extremist Muslims”? What race are Muslims in the aggregate? What race is Islam? Or did Fisher mean that Schilling’s tweet was racist against Germans? ……..

But what exactly is so offensive about his tweet? Is it that he compared “extremist Muslims” to Nazis? Surely that can’t be it. The Islamic State hasn’t murdered six million Jews, but surely would if it could, and meanwhile its gleeful bloodlust, sex slavery, terrorizing of non-Muslims and all the rest of it make the comparison reasonable.

Or was Schilling “insensitive” for daring to suggest that peaceful Muslims aren’t doing much to rein in their violent coreligionists? Well, let’s see. Last month, Muslims in Ireland held a demonstration against the Islamic State. How many Muslims showed up? Fewer than fifty. And in October 2014 in Houston, a rally against the Islamic State organized by the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) drew the grand total of ten people. In August 2013 in Boston, about 25 Muslims rallied against “misperceptions” that Islam was violent. About the same number showed up in June 2013 at a progressive Muslim rally in Toronto to claim that their religion had been “hijacked.”

And back in 2005, a group called the Free Muslims Coalition held what it dubbed a “Free Muslims March Against Terror,” intending to “send a message to the terrorists and extremists that their days are numbered … and to send a message to the people of the Middle East, the Muslim world and all people who seek freedom, democracy and peaceful coexistence that we support them.” In the run-up to the event it got enthusiastic national and international publicity, but it ended up drawing about twenty-five people.

Contrast those paltry showings to the thousands of Muslims who have turned out for rallies against cartoons of Muhammad or against Israel. Here are some headlines from the aftermath of the Charlie Hebdo jihad massacre of Muhammad cartoonists in January 2015:

THREE AL JAZEERA JOURNALISTS FOUND GUILTY NOT ONCE BUT TWICE BY EGYPTIAN COURT FOR SUPPORT OF TERROR INCLUDING THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD IT WOULD SEEM AS THE MAIN JOURNALIST MOHAMED FAHMY GETS 3 YEARS ALONG WITH BAHER MOHAMED AND PETER GRESTE

When the guilty verdict was read out, a few gasps echoed across the cavernous military courtroom inside Cairo's Tora prison. Mohamed Fahmy's wife, Marwa Omara, began to sob. No longer could she contain the disappointment and anger caused by this 608-day-long ordeal.

Fahmy and his two colleagues Baher Mohamed and Peter Greste were found guilty of several terrorism-related offences on Saturday morning, including spreading false news and assisting the now-outlawed Muslim Brotherhood movement. (Greste was not in court; he was deported to Australia in February.)

The three men were sentenced to three years in prison, plus an extra six months for Mohamed, the Egyptian journalist who the court said was holding onto a bullet casing, so he deserves even more time behind bars.

To much of the outside world who has followed these long and often interrupted court proceedings, there is genuine surprise that Egypt's justice system found the trio guilty, not once but twice.

The evidence presented at the original trial last year consisted of Greste's family photo album and news conferences that had little to do with Egypt. A panel of experts at the retrial earlier this year called into question much of the video evidence the state once again offered up.

Media and human rights groups have denounced the case against the three former Al-Jazeera English journalists. Among those watching this case, there's always been a sense that this was a political trial first and foremost — a chance for Egypt's government to settle scores with Al-Jazeera, the TV news channel bankrolled by Egypt's foe, Qatar, which also backs the Muslim Brotherhood and its deposed president Mohammed Morsi.

SKILLED IMMIGRANTS COMING FROM CHINA AND INDIA OVERTAKE LEGAL IMMIGRATION NUMBERS FROM MEXICO FOR THE FIRST TIME–IN 2013 147,000 IMMIGRATED FROM CHINA, 129,000 FROM INDIA AND ONLY 125,000 FROM MEXICO, WHERE 25% FROM CHINA AND INDIA ARE EDUCATED WITH BS DEGREES OR HIGHER VS ONLY 15% FROM MEXICO

Siddharth Jaganath wanted to return to India after earning his master's degree at Texas' Southern Methodist University. Instead, he built a new life in the U.S. over a decade, becoming a manager at a communications technology company and starting a family in the Dallas suburb of Plano.

"You start growing your roots and eventually end up staying here," the 37-year-old said.

His path is an increasingly common one: Immigrants from China and India, many with student or work visas, have overtaken Mexicans as the largest groups coming into the U.S., according to U.S. Census Bureau research released in May. The shift has been building for more than a decade and experts say it's bringing more highly skilled immigrants here. And some Republican presidential candidates have proposed a heavier focus on employment-based migration, which could accelerate traditionally slow changes to the country's ever-evolving face of immigration.

Mexicans still dominate the overall composition of immigrants in the U.S., accounting for more than a quarter of the foreign-born people. But of the 1.2 million newly arrived immigrants here legally and illegally counted in 2013 numbers, China led with 147,000, followed by India with 129,000 and Mexico with 125,000. It's a sharp contrast to the 2000, when there were 402,000 from Mexico and no more than 84,000 each from India and China. Experts say part of the reason for the decrease in Mexican immigrants is a dramatic plunge in illegal immigration.

Korean-American groups demanded Friday that Republican presidential hopeful Jeb Bush apologize for accusing Asian people of abusing the birthright citizenship law.
Bush made the accusation earlier this week in an apparent attempt to mollify Hispanic voters after coming under fire for using the term "anchor baby," which refers to children born in the U.S. to undocumented parents. The term is widely considered offensive by Hispanics.
Asked whether his use of the term would hurt his support among Hispanics, Bush said he was referring mostly to Asians.
On Friday, Korean-American organizations, including the Korean American Civic Empowerment, held a joint press conference in New York and demanded Bush offer an official apology for the "divisive" remark.

IN LESS THAN 1 MONTHS TIME WINDOWS 10 INSTALLED IN 75 MILLION DEVICES–WITH MORE DEVICES GROWING AS EACH DAYS PASS ON–AS THE FINAL AIM BY MICROSOFT TO GAIN TRACTION INTO THE MOBILE DEVICES

Microsoft says Windows 10 has spread to more than 75 million devices since the new operating system was released less than a month ago.

The US software colossus is intent on seeing the new generation operating system aimed at computers, mobile and other devices running on a billion gadgets.

Windows 10 is powering more than 90,000 different computer and tablet models, Microsoft's corporate vice president of marketing for Windows and devices, Yusuf Mehdi, said in a series of tweets on Wednesday.

More than 75 million devices now run the software, with the number "growing every day," he said.

Some 14 million people installed the Windows 10 operating system in the first 24 hours following its release on July 29 in what Microsoft touted as an "overwhelmingly positive" debut.

The stakes are high for Microsoft as it pushes out the new operating system for both traditional computers and mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones.

THE GOP RIPS A NEW ONE ON THE TERRORIST HILLARY CLINTON COMMENTS AS THE DEMOCRAT WANNA BE POTUS CAN’T DISTINGUISH THE ENEMY VERSUS PATRIOTIC AMERICANS–JUST LIKE WHAT A LEFTIST DEMOCRAT IS ALL ABOUT–THE ENEMY AIDING PARTY OF DEMOCRATS LIVES ON

GOP presidential candidates are criticizing Hillary Clinton for comparing the Republican Party’s views on women to those of a terrorist group.

Clinton made the comparison at a rally in Cleveland on Thursday as she criticized Republican views on abortion rights.

“Extreme views about women, we expect them from some of the terrorist groups, we expect that from people who don’t want to live in the modern world,” she said.

“It’s a little hard to take coming from Republicans who want to be the president of the United States, but they espouse out-of-date and out-of-touch policies.”

Republicans have blasted the comments, calling them offensive.

GOP front-runner Donald Trump called the statement “disgusting” in an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” Friday.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said the former first lady needs to get her priorities in order.

THE ROK AND USA COMPLETES ITS COMBAT PREPAREDNESS EXERCISE NORTH OF SEOUL–AS BOTH ARMIES FIELDED TANKS (K1A1, M1A1), ATTACK HELICOPTERS (AH-1S, APACHE, TRANSPORT (K-21, BRADLEYS, MLRS), SPECIAL FORCES, ARTILLERY (PALIDEN HOWITZERS), JET FIGHTERS (K15, F4, A-10)

The atmosphere was tense around the Seungjin Army Training Center in Pocheon, north of Seoul, Monday, before South Korea and the United States' large-scale joint live-fire exercise.
Some 3,000 spectators, including the public, journalists and soldiers from the two nations, made little noise while waiting to watch the military exercise at a time when tension was high on the Korean Peninsula.
Tension was heightened in the wake of North Korea's Aug. 4 landmine explosion inside the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), which maimed two South Korean soldiers.
The exercises have taken place four times this month. President Park Geun-hye observed the last one held on Friday.

SIX PEOPLE TO GO IN ISOLATION TO MEMICK THE MARS MISSION IN THE HIS-SEAS HABITAT IN THE SLOPE OF MAUNA HAWAII FOR 1 YEAR

Six people are about to shut themselves inside a dome in Hawaii for a year, in the longest US isolation experiment yet aimed at helping NASA prepare for a pioneering journey to Mars.
The crew includes a French astrobiologist, a German physicist and four Americans - a pilot, an architect, a doctor/journalist and a soil scientist.
They are based on a barren, northern slope of Mauna Loa, living inside a dome that is 36 feet in diameter and 20 feet tall.
In a place with no animals and little vegetation around, they will close themselves in at 3:00 pm Hawaii time on Friday (0100 GMT Saturday), marking the official start to the 12-month mission.
The men and women have their own small rooms, with space for a sleeping cot and desk, and will spend their days eating foods like powdered cheese and canned tuna, only going outside if dressed in a spacesuit, and having limited access to the Internet.
So what kind of person wants to spend a year of their life this way?
Crew member Sheyna Gifford described the team as "six people who want to change the world by making it possible for people to leave it at will," she wrote on her blog, LivefromMars.life.

SIMULATED CITY OF THE FUTURE BEING BUILT IN NEW MEXICO USA WORTH $1.4 BILLION BY PEGASUS GLOBAL HOLDINGS THAT WILL EVALUATE THE CITY WORKINGS WITH DRONES FROM CARS TO THE SKY

…..According to development company Pegasus Global Holdings: “City Lab will be a representative example of a modern day, mid-sized American city. It will ... include urban, suburban and rural zones as well as the corresponding infrastructure.

“City Lab will be pre-wired for data collection giving researchers the ability to simulate system-wide scenarios and then draw data from such activities.

“It’s the first of its kind, in scale and scope.”

Here, drones will rule the sky as they test out the delivery of goods, and roads will be filled with driverless cars and trucks. And the beauty of it being empty of humans is that if something goes wrong, there won’t be any mass injuries.

“It will be a true laboratory without the complication and safety issues associated with residents,” Bob Brumley, managing director of Pegasus says.

“Here you can break things and run into things and get used to how they work, before taking them out into the market.”

Just 300 people will oversee experiments and maintain the city’s infrastructure…..

WHILST IN ASIA KOREA THE SEX TRADE BUSINESS EXPANDS FROM ONLY 3,000 IN 2012 TO CLOSE TO 9,000 IN 2014

The number of sex trade businesses caught by police in the past two years has nearly tripled, a report showed Friday, as authorities have led a crackdown against prostitution despite ongoing debate over whether to legalize the controversial industry.
The overall number of businesses offering sex, gambling or similar services apprehended by police dropped to 48,121 last year from 51,652 in 2013 and 55,785 in 2012, the report submitted by the National Police Agency to New Politics Alliance for Democracy Rep. You Dae-woon showed.
Of such businesses, more businesses were caught offering sex services, with the number rising to 8,952 cases last year from 4,553 in 2013 and 3,263 in 2012.

ANOTHER DEMOCRAT POTUS BHO CHAOS FORIEGN POLICY OF CHAOS CAUSING THE LEGACY THAT WILL LAST IN INFAMY AS THE REGEME CHANGE IN THE MIDDLE EAST FROM LIBYA TO EGYPT, TO SYRIA BACKED BY THE LEFTIST POLICIES OF ANTI WESTERN MUSLIM REGEMES FOR THE HARD LINED MUSLIM REGEMES HAS CREATED THE IMMIGRATION NIGHTMARE OF DEATHS AS HOMES ARE TURNED UPSIDE DOWN FROM SANITY TO INSANITY BY THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD AND IS AS PEOPLE FLEE NOT FOR POLITICAL FREEDOM BUT FOR THEIR LIVES

Death and desperation mounted in Europe's migrant crisis Friday as Austrian police said 71 people appeared to have suffocated in the back of an abandoned truck, while an estimated 200 people were feared drowned off Libya when two overloaded boats capsized.

More than 300,000 people have sought to cross the Mediterranean Sea so far in 2015, up from 219,000 in all of last year, as European authorities grapple with the largest influx since World War II.

The death of 71 people locked in the truck on a highway south of Vienna shows "the desperation of people seeking protection or a new life in Europe," said Melissa Fleming, spokeswoman for the U.N. refugee agency in Geneva.

The International Office of Migration has recorded 2,636 deaths linked to Mediterranean crossings this year, and more may have vanished beneath the waves out of sight of rescuers.

Each day, thousands are boarding flimsy boats for Italy or Greece, and many more are placing themselves and their families at the mercy of human traffickers by slogging for days or weeks through the western Balkans toward what they hope will be a brighter future. Most are fleeing war, conflict or persecution in countries including Syria, Afghanistan and Eritrea.

Several factors are driving the surge of Syrian refugees, including worsening conditions in that country's refugee centers partly due to budget cuts and the reluctance of neighboring countries to take in more people, the U.N. said.

USAIN BOLT GETS RUN OVER BY A SEGWAY RIDING CAMERA MAN AFTER WINNING ANOTHER 200M COMING IN AT 19.55 SEC

PREPPERS THE ONCE LEFT STANDING ALONE AFTER THE TERRIBLE APOCALYPES EVENT FROM THE UK TO THE USA

These days the world is a scary place to live in.

If there's not an asteroid on its way to obliterate us or terrorists plotting our imminent downfall, there's the dangers of giant online data hacks or complete economic collapse.

But when the end does arrive, there are a few people who aren't just able to cope with the apocalypse - they've been actively preparing for it.

These people call themselves 'preppers' or 'survivalists' and they belong to a vast underground community. When the ATMs stop running or the internet goes down, they'll be the ones that make it out alive.

"Its a huge community, especially in the States. But in the UK it's becoming more and more recognised," explained Steve Hart, the man behind the UK's top prepping website: ukpreppersguide.co.uk………

……..Top tips to start prepping

• Keep at least a week's worth of food in your house. Tinned foods are best
• When it comes to vehicles, anything built pre-1980 is a better choice. It will be easier to repair in the event of an emergency because it's mechanical rather than technological

BROADCASTING KPOP MUSIC AND THE LATEST NEWS BROADCAST BY VOICE OF FREEDOM ACROSS THE DMZ WAS ENOUGH TO LET THE LEFTIST COMMUNIST COUNTRY DPRK OF THE KIM TO COME TO TERMS THAT IT CAN’T CONTROL THE LISTENING EARS OF ITS CONTROLLED PEOPLE THUS THE DPRK CALLED FOR RECONCILIATION AND AN APOLOGY FOR PLANTING MINES THAT MAIMED TWO SOLDIERS NOT TO MENTION THE DEATHS OF 46 ROK SAILORS DYING AFTER A TORPEDO STRIKE BY THE DPRK IN 2010 IT WOULD SEEM

For weeks tensions between the neighbouring countries had been simmering after the South accused the North of planting landmines on its border which maimed two of its soldiers.
Pyongyang refused to take responsibility prompting Seoul to go on the offensive.
While it showed some of its military might, its main tactic - the one which appears to have angered the North the most - was to blast (among many things) K-pop across the border.
Using these loud speakers might seem strange to the rest of the world but South Korea knows its “closely related” neighbour well.
According to Dr Justin Hastings from the University of Sydney, if there is one thing the North Koreans hate, it’s information, in any form, from the outside world.
The International Relations and Comparative Politics lecturer told news.com.au North Korea was more afraid its citizens, and more importantly its soldiers, being tempted by not only the South but the West.
“It’s not the war games,” he said. “The one thing North Koreans really hate is, and this surprised me initially, is basically tactics that involve sending information about the outside world into North Korea.
“The loud speakers are good example of that. It’s not that they kill anyone, it’s that they are sending messages to North Korean soldiers in a way that really annoys the North Koreans. The balloons with messages over the border is another tactic the North Koreans really hate.
“And bibles coming in from China is also another thing. Those are the things the North Koreans really strongly dislike.”

Despite being one of the biggest girl bands in Asia, Korean pop group 2NE1 doesn’t seem to have any fans in North Korea. In fact their peachy pop tunes are considered evil propoganda by the North Korean government. Pic: Koichi Kamoshida/Getty Images. Source: Supplied

Psy has set another YouTube record after the music video for his hit single "Gangnam Style" broke 2.4 billion views, his management agency said Wednesday.
The video, which has driven the world to a horse-riding frenzy since 2012, was viewed 2.42 billion times as of Tuesday, YG Entertainment said, adding the milestone was reached only four months after the previous record of 2.3 billion views was set.

The agency posted an image on its official blog(www.yg-life.com) in which the cartoon version of the rapper makes the horse-riding pose with a smirk on his face.

In March, the continued success of "Gangnam Style" led YouTube to raise its maximum view count to an astronomical proportion of more than 9 quintillion.

THE DEMOCRATS PLAY DEAD ACROSS THE ROAD WITH IRAN AS ITS MISSILE FATEH-313 OFFENSIVE CAPABILITY GROWS IN STRENGTH AS IRAN SHOOTS ANOTHER DRONE PATROLLING THE SURVEILLANCE OF IRANS MILITARY INTENSIONS AFTER THE SO CALLED PEACE AGREEMENT BY THE DEMOCRATS TO GIVE THE MOTHER OF ALL BOMBS TO IRAN JUST LIKE GIVING THE DPRK THE SAME MOTHER OF ALL BOMB TO GO NUCLEAR–AS IRAN HAVE SHOT DOWN THE RQ-170, SCANEAGLE, AND THE LATEST UNNAMED DRONE–GIVING THE DRONE TECHNOLOGY TO THE ENEMY

Iran’s official IRNA news agency said on Saturday the country’s military had shot down a reconnaissance drone in western Iran near the border with Iraq.

IRNA quoted Colonel Farzad Fereidouni, a local air defense system commander, in a report as saying the unmanned aircraft was shot down in recent days after it “confronted” the air defense missile system. He did not say which country the drone belonged to, or give specifics on the timing.

Iran has claimed to have captured several US drones in recent years, including an advanced RQ-170 Sentinel CIA spy drone in December 2011 and at least three Boeing-designed ScanEagle aircraft.

Iran said last year it had successfully tested its copy of the RQ-170 drone based on one it captured. Tehran has said it is also copying the ScanEagle.

Iran also unveiled a short-range solid fuel ballistic missile on Saturday, an upgraded version that the government said could more accurately pinpoint targets.

The surface-to-surface Fateh-313, or Conqueror, was unveiled at a ceremony marking Defense Industry Day and attended by President Hassan Rouhani, who said military might was necessary to achieve peace in the volatile Middle East.

State television showed footage of the missile being fired from an undisclosed location. The missile is a newer version of Fateh-110 and has a quicker launch capability, a longer lifespan and can strike targets with pinpoint accuracy within a 500km (310-mile) range, the report said.

United Nations security council resolution 2231, which endorsed a landmark nuclear deal reached between Iran and world powers last month, has called on Iran not to undertake any activity related to ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons. Iran says none of its missiles are designed for that purpose.
