Russia's Putin will be going to Iran to speak to the new president, Rouhani, to try and convince them to scale back their nuclear program
Russia's Putin to visit Tehran for nuclear talks
(Reuters) - Russian leader Vladimir Putin will meet Iran's newly elected president in Tehran next month to discuss restarting talks on the Islamic Republic's nuclear program, Russian and Iranian media reports said on Wednesday.
The Russian newspaper Kommersant quoted a source close to the Iranian Foreign Ministry as saying President Putin would visit on August 12, days after Hassan Rouhani is inaugurated.
Iran's Mehr news agency said Putin would travel to Iran on August 16, without citing a source.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov declined comment on the reports. Putin last visited Iran in 2007 to attend a summit of states bordering the Caspian Sea.
World powers hope Iran's relatively moderate new leader will comply with demands for Tehran to scale back nuclear work which they suspect is aimed at enabling it to make bombs.
Iran says it is enriching uranium, the fissile material for atomic bombs, only to fuel nuclear power stations and for medical purposes.

Are Bitcoins a Ponzi scheme? That's what the headlines in the media suggest the Securities Exchange Commission is alleging. However, the SEC is simply investigating whether the new crypto-currencies are being used as a tool to lure investors into an illegal investment scheme. Whether or not this is true, the smear campaign against alternative currencies continues. In a press release, the SEC stated "Investors should understand that regardless of the type of investment, a promise of high returns with little or no risk is a classic warning sign of fraud." Well, don't tell that to Fannie and Freddie. At least China got out.
And there was a natural gas explosion on an unmanned rig off the coast of Louisiana on Tuesday. The blaze has been described as "out of control." No injuries were reported on the nearby jackup rig, but a natural gas cloud and a very large light sheen was reported. The operator of the well stated no "oil" was spilled, but again it's a natural gas rig. Curiously the well that exploded was a sidetrack well, which is usually used to overcome an engineering problem with the original well. We'll stay on top of this story as it develops.
And, we have a Bloomberg-gate update. That would be the scandal where Bloomberg reporters were allegedly spying on Bloomberg terminal users, including such power users as Ben Bernanke and Tim Geithner. Well, the current attorney general of New York, Eric Schneiderman, who was funded by George Soros, is now investigating the matter.
The AG position is one that Eliot Spitzer held before becoming governor. Spitzer is now once again seeking elected office as New York City Comptroller, to oversee the city's $140 billion pension fund. Oh, and Mayor Bloomberg himself is suing the current Comptroller. Break out the popcorn, because we smell a Gangs of New York-style fight brewing here. Bob talks dysfunctional politics with Lew Rockwell. And Perianne profile the dysfunctional city of Detroit, as well.
A former Libertarian Presidential candidate is making economic news -- bad news -- for the LP once again. According to his latest filing with the Federal Election Commission, former Libertarian Presidential nominee, Gary Johnson's campaign is now over a million dollars in debt, 6 months after the Presidential election. This is in stark contrast to Republicans Mitt Romney and Ron Paul who report zero debt, and puts Johnson in the political debtors camp with --- President Obama and Newt Gingrich. It is also in stark contrast to Johnson's campaign rhetoric.

Formerly with NASA, Michael transitioned his image processing skills (along with a brief stint as an actor) into the then-new motion picture computer animation field and has worked on films such as "Star Trek", "The Day After Tomorrow", and has supervised visual effects on "Brainscan," "LOST", and "Hawaii Five-0." Michael has taken a sabbatical from film work to focus all his efforts on peace activism. Michaels foray into blogging began before the word was even invented, and happened almost by accident when he spotted a suspicious photograph being broadcast on ABC news in 1994 related to the death of White House deputy Council Vincent Foster. Since that sudden beginning, Michaels website has expanded to cover diverse topics including the JFK assassination, the accidental shoot-down of TWA 800, election fraud, health issues, Saddams non-existent nuclear weapons, 9-11, the economy, and of course, the lies used to trick the United States into wars of conquest on Afghanistan, Iraq, and now Iran.

Are we having another James Holmes court double incident?
A quick footage aired by the Russian TV supposedly shows Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in the court hearing on Wednesday, although it's a shitty video that makes impossible a facial recognition, but still rises a question: Why the Russian TV has such video and the US MSM is showing only sketches??? Also after the Boston Globe reportage, now a CNN reporter threw a series of hints about the guy in the courtroom being someone else and not Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. A truly clusterfuck of unspeakable proportions.
Practicing democracy and freedom?? by US?? Its anything but a democracy. A totalitarian hypocrisy! Much like former USSR they monitor everything so people live in fear being monitored and wont come forward criticizing fake government. They live in a chicken farm where everything is controlled. The fake media including CNN must have a hard time rationalizing this! For anyone who boast about freedom and democracy in US , Mr Snowden got the answer!! And of course Obama is just a puppet!
Rand Paul (R-Ky.) spoke at the 114th Veterans of Foreign Wars National Convention in Louisville, Kentucky.
The Kentucky Republican, who has not been shy in hinting he may run for president in 2016, has been a critic of overseas military adventurism that partly defined President George W. Bush's two terms in office, as well as the use of drone strikes under both Mr. Bush's administration and that of President Obama.
"America has never backed down from a fight, but we should never be one that is eager to get involved in civil wars that don't affect our national security," he said. "Is our involvement in Egypt, Syria and Pakistan to our benefit or our detriment? We must have the strongest military on Earth — not because we are eager to use it, but so that no one would ever dare challenge us."
....This is the type of blatantly fascist bail-in policy spelled out in Title II of the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial reform bill, which creates a top down authority by which the "systemically important" global banks can commence the "Cyprus-style" default on depositors' accounts. It also reflects what J.P. Morgan has openly called for in a recent 16 page document where they brag that a top down, unified bankers dictatorship over Europe is already halfway complete and that the only thing standing in the way is anti-fascist, pro-democratic constitutions in place in certain European nations. ...
