Since our own MSM is in the tank for 0 we will have to rely on international news provided through the Internet more and more.
Well is it believable?
I don’t think so...CIA wouldn’t announce their movements ..more saber rattling to stir the nests in there.
OH That good website LOL!
I been try good international news link since AL Jazeera English was taken off the air because of AL Jazeera America going on the air LOL!

“Since our own MSM is in the tank for 0 we will have to rely on international news provided through the Internet more and more.”
True.
Trying to post verified or substantiated reports, relying on Egypt State news, RT, Reuters, AP, AFP, Al Jezeera, etc. ... and some Western MSM sprinkled in ‘for balance’.
US MSM, including FNC, is propaganda.
Pretty good bet.
In other words:
We are screwed!

Ties Egypt in to Bengauzi !
Oh, one more thing...
It’s Higazy saying what I didn’t translate yesterday, it’s the recording of it.
He said he isn’t a member of Ikhwan...I’m not one of them. Swearing by God three times and asking the police, do you want me to wear to divorce my wife? If he swears FALSLY to divorce his wife if he’s lying, in front of witnesses, many policemen, legally speaking, HE DIVORCES(D) his wife!
THAT SIMPLE.
An infamous sound bite of him, swearing “by God” three times while he was in Rabaa, that “IF I KNEW THAT WAS A SINGLE PLASTIC KNIFE IN RABAA TO HURT AN EGYPTIAN SECURITY MAN, I WOULD HAVE LEFT RABAA IMMEDIATELY!”
No wonder I didn’t bother translate the article in which he denies that he knows the MB!
Interesting, Samantha Power is MIA, and no response from State Department or DOD. (Now CIA operation?)

where was samantha power?

For the past several years, President Obama has presided over a U.S. policy on Syria that has made the collective support of the international community a condition of American action. Every answer the President gives on the crisis in Syria includes working through the United Nations. So when the United Nations Security Council called an emergency meeting on Wednesday about the use of chemical weapons inside Syria, it was perplexing that the newly appointed U.S. Ambassador to the UN was nowhere to be found.
White House Deputy Spokesman Josh Earnest issued a statement on Syria’s use of chemical weapons that emphasized the United Nations as the only U.S. action to the crisis. The President didn’t call for State Department action or a Department of Defense option plan – he only asked for a UN response.
Earnest said, “The United States strongly condemns any and all use of chemical weapons. Those responsible for the use of chemical weapons must be held accountable. Today, we are formally requesting that the United Nations urgently investigate this new allegation. The UN investigative team, which is currently in Syria, is prepared to do so, and that is consistent with its purpose and mandate. For the UN’s efforts to be credible, they must have immediate access to witnesses and affected individuals, and have the ability to examine and collect physical evidence without any interference or manipulation from the Syrian government.”
So the U.S. policy on Syria is to work thru the United Nations. Where was Samantha Power?
Earnest even emphasized the emergency meeting in his statement: “We have also called for urgent consultations in the UN Security Council to discuss these allegations”.
But while the White House was pretending to be in urgent mode, the new U.S. Ambassador didn’t think the meeting was worth her time. Her office reportedly told Reuters that she was on a trip. But to where? What was more important?
Samantha Power has been on the job exactly 19 days. In that time, she’s already traveled from New York to Los Angeles to deliver a speech. Her absence from the UN on Wednesday sends a terrible message at a time when U.S. credibility in the region is suffering.

It’s easy for spineless ( blank) republicans NOT TO OPPOSE 0b0z0!
This is the subject that they should play the real role of opposition that they’re supposed to be!
Cowardice, intellectual laziness, don’t want to bother while on vacation!
Do you wonder that even with a house majority were still getting our clocks cleaned?
The media war rages alongside the real war in Egypt. I posted earlier about the Muslim Brotherhood supporters who had taken refuge in the Fatah mosque in Cairo that ended up being surrounded by police.
Someone just sent me a short video clip with some footage by AlJazeera that was taken inside the mosque yesterday that should be noted.
In the video below, you can see what is supposed to be an “victim” of the violence laying on the mosque floor either unconscious or dead. And yet when the medic lifts his bloodied shirt and mistakenly shows that the man has no injuries, the “unconscious” man quickly uses his opposite leg to knock the medic’s arm away from his shirt.
The tradition of Pallywood in the Middle East continues.
UPDATE: It seems that the “victim” is Morsi aide/photographer Amar Gomaa:
MAN that I don’t see any replacement for this guy job YET LOL!
They're starting to look like caricatures of caricatures. Or mental patients with OCD. Or both.

They not going say JACK
Egypt about an hour agoThe US on Thursday sidestepped questions about former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak’s release, saying it was a matter for Cairo to decide, but called for his ousted successor Mohamed Morsi to be freed.
“With respect to the Mubarak trial and decisions made, this is an internal Egyptian legal matter,” said State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki.
