One of the men accused of planning the September 11, 2001 attacks was removed from a US military court on Tuesday after making an outburst about a secret CIA prison. Yemeni defendant Ramzi Binalshibh, accused of helping the hijackers enter the United States and of financing the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people, was ejected from a pre-trial hearing at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp on the judge's orders.

His removal came shortly after Binalshibh's lawyer suggested that guards at the US military prison in Cuba were deliberately depriving his client of sleep.

"He could not sleep at all last night because of the noise he is exposed to," said Navy Lieutenant Commander Kevin Bogucki. "He is too tired to pay attention."

Ukraine-China: 'third alternative'

The Europe-Ukraine-Russia triangle may turn into a quadruple if China enters the game. Faced with a contracting labor market and limited credit resources, East and Central European countries approach Ukraine’s associated membership in the European Union with caution, fearing that it all may end up in Kiev claiming its fair share of the pie.

EU strategists are racking their brains over how to lure Kiev, while keeping East European member states less concerned about it.  Ukraine’s hopes to negotiate more favorable terms failed. When President Viktor Yanukovych requested 150 billion euros in aid to speed up the economy’s transition to the European technical standards, even “senior” EU members got scared. Europe just can’t afford it.

Islamic Jihad: is Islam the first target? (Must Read)

Radical Islam, which today is growing in numbers all over the world, could ruin traditional Islam. The “Jihad for the purity of faith” proclaimed by the fanatics is trying to destroy not only the non-Muslim population of the planet, but even Muslims themselves. Radicalism has nothing in common with the Prophet Muhammad's religion and is founded on political ideology of people far from faith, experts are convinced.

A few days ago Syrian Islamists executed 15 peaceful residents of the town of Arda, located 40 km away from Damascus, which they seized. The bloodbath lasted for several hours. All people killed were Muslim. Such events today take place in many countries considered as purely Muslim.

Germany's Merkel voted in for third term

Click banner for more info

Angela Merkel is elected to a third term as chancellor in a vote in the German lower house of parliament on Tuesday, paving the way for her new "grand coalition" government to be sworn in and formally take power later in the day (12 30 GMT). Merkel's conservatives scored their best result in over two decades in a German election on September 22 but were forced into lengthy coalition talks with the rival Social Democrats (SPD), whose members only approved the deal last weekend.

The vote in the Bundestag was a formality as the ruling parties hold an overwhelming majority of the seats. A total of 462 lawmakers backed Merkel for chancellor, with 150 voting against and 9 abstaining.

The new government faces a host of challenges, from bedding down European reforms aimed at shielding the bloc from future crises, to seeing through Merkel's costly switch from nuclear to renewable energy.

Merkel joins fellow conservatives Konrad Adenauer and Helmut Kohl as the only post-war chancellors to have won three terms.

German state of Hesse agrees conservative-green coalition deal

The German state of Hesse's centre-right Christian Democrats and its environmentalist Green Party finalized a coalition agreement on Tuesday, just as the country's nationwide grand coalition government was being sworn in.

The deal marks the first time in Germany's history that the conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and the centre-left Greens have agreed to govern jointly in a larger state.

There has been one such coalition previously at a city-state level.

The two parties have been in coalition talks since November 22, two months after the regional election in the central German state took place.

The vote coincided with Germany's nationwide election.

Party leaders Volker Bouffier (CDU) and Tarek Al-Wazir (Green Party) are set to present the coalition agreement to their members on Wednesday.

The only other CDU-Green coalition to have existed in Germany came into force in the city-state of Hamburg in 2008, with the parties breaking off the alliance two years into the term.

Merkel is due to be sworn on Tuesday for rare third term as German chancellor ending political limbo

Asked in September how long she expected coalition negotiations to take, chancellor Angela Merkel joked that "Christmas comes sooner than you think." Christmas is coming and Angela Merkel is due to be sworn on Tuesday for a rare third term as German chancellor, capping months of political uncertainty as she bartered with her rivals to help govern Europe's top economy. Eighty-six days after Merkel, 59, swept to victory in elections but failed to grab an outright majority, the Bundestag lower house of parliament will vote on handing her another four-year term. The ballot is secret but the outcome likely holds little surprise.

With a whopping 504 of the 631 seats, Merkel's conservatives and their new centre-left partners, the Social Democrats (SPD), hold a comfortable majority under their hard-fought 'grand coalition' deal.

Afterwards she must be confirmed by President Joachim Gauck at the presidential palace before returning to the Bundestag to be sworn in as Germany's only third post-war chancellor to win a third mandate.

The ceremony and later swearing-in of ministers followed by the first cabinet meeting will enable Merkel to finally get back down to business in earnest after the longest government-building period since World War II.

Merkel is then due to address parliament Wednesday and travel to Paris for talks with President Francois Hollande the same day, ahead of an EU summit at the end of the week.

A parliament debate after Wednesday's address will be the first opportunity for a face-off across the floor since the SPD moved off the opposition benches.  Merkel has defended the time spent haggling over policy and posts with an initially reluctant SPD as time well spent, voicing appreciation on signing the coalition pact Monday "that we listened to each other."

Few observers doubt though that the road ahead will be bumpy.

The American Studies Association (ASA) has become the largest US group of scholars to boycott Israel. The scholars' group of more than 5,000 US teachers and researchers voted to launch an academic boycott of Israeli colleges and universities in a move condemned by the World Jewish Congress as "moral bankruptcy." Israeli officials have denounced the campaign as an attempt to delegitimize the Israeli state.

The group, which is devoted to the study of American culture and history, announced Monday that its nearly 5,000 members voted in favor of the boycott by a 2-to-1 margin on Sunday night. A total of 1,252 members voted on the issue, with 66 percent voting "yes" and 30 percent voting "no." Three percent abstained from voting altogether.

Operation Northwoods techniques on 9-11: US fake terrorist attacks to create war

Click banner for more info

 

Many of the leaders in the United States are beginning to realize that the policy of destroying countries in the Middle East for Israel is not really in the US’s best interests. Geopolitically the US would be better off dealing more diplomatically with Russia but they continue to attempt to surround Russia with nuclear weapons and try to achieve a first strike capacity while risking World War III. Doctor Kevin Barret, one of the first people to suffer at the hands of the US military industrial complex after speaking about and questioning 9-11, spoke to the Voice of Russia about all of these issues and more and places the blame for 9-11 on the neo-conservative Projest for the New American Century (PNAC) and Zionists who have infiltrated western security and intelligence services.

Hello this is John Robles, I am speaking with Dr. Kevin Barret, he is a Doctor in Arabic and Islamic Studies, the owner and manager of TruthJihad.com and a member of Scientific Professionals Investigating 9-11. This is Part 1 of a longer interview.

We the north of Nigeria are ready for a separation process, which will either involve regionalism or total disintegration.

On the topic, Sagir Aliyu said: Yes, I’m in support of BREAK UP. Because most Nigerian minds are full of hatred, sentiments, ethnicity, religious differences and tribalism. Some are calling for revolution, but instead of loosing lives and property; let the romance end. Also if the 2015 election will result to loss of lives and property, the romance should end before then, Please!

Yemeni parliament passes law banning Washington drone attacks

Click banner for more info

Yemen's parliament on Sunday called for a stop to drone attacks in a symbolic vote that reflected growing public anxiety about Washington's use of the unmanned aircraft to combat al Qaeda in the impoverished country. Motions passed by the Yemeni parliament are not binding and can be struck down by the president, and are seen as no more than recommendations to the government.

"The Yemeni public is angered by the drone strikes," said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he's not authorized to talk to reporters. "The people's representatives reflected on the tone of the streets."
