Toulouse Murders Show France’s True Colors
By Daniel Wiseman Tuesday, March 27, 2012
Back in 2004, authors John J. Miller and Mark Molesky wrote in “Our Oldest Enemy” that the cherished idea of French friendship with the United States has little basis in reality. The French have always been the United States’ rivals, they stated, and have harmed and obstructed U.S.interests more often than not. The authors assert that France’s support to the American Revolution was minimal, although it appears that the Major General, the Marquis de Lafayette, was a devoted aide to George Washington during the 18th Century American struggle against the British.
B’nai Brith Canada Says Arrest in Toulouse School Massacre 48 Hours Too LateBy B’nai Brith Wednesday, March 21, 2012
Toronto, - The Jewish human rights organization B’nai Brith Canada has stated that the French government’s imminent arrest of Mohamed Merah, suspected of murdering four French Jews and three French soldiers, has come too late for the victims. The organization, which regularly consults with the RCMP and CSIS on issues relating to security threats and safeguards, is questioning whether the deadly attack might have been prevented if French authorities had shifted from a policy of merely observing homegrown terrorist suspects to actively pursuing those planning to perpetrate terrorist acts.
The Russian Elections and their AftermathBy INSS Tuesday, March 13, 2012
The Russian presidential election, won – as predicted – by Vladimir Putin, was dramatic, not because of the results, which were known ahead of time, but because of the public protest of recent months that marked the election propaganda and preparations. Manifestations of the protest continued even after the election and may be expected to constitute a permanent feature of the Russian political reality, thereby adding to the host of internal issues that challenge Russian rulers. An additional, perhaps even historic, challenge for the Russian establishment lies in security and foreign affairs, where the future of Russia’s international standing will be determined. These became central issues in Putin’s election campaign, as he tried to outline his future policy. What does this platform consist of?

By Frank Milewski Saturday, February 25, 2012

UK elderly are “wasting too many bedrooms”By Anna Grayson Sunday, February 5, 2012
London, England-In yet another outrageous piece of social engineering from our coalition government, pensioners will be encouraged to downsize to smaller properties allowing local councils to rent their homes out as council houses and manage the tenancy.
Local authorities will ‘help’ older people move from their homes into ‘more suitable accommodation’. Grant Schapps, the Housing Minister, who is a conservative member of parliament claims the scheme will solve a so-called ‘housing crisis’ as well as creating a system that will ‘permit access to various sources of wealth’ that are currently not being used to pay for care.
A winter postcardBy Anna Grayson Sunday, February 5, 2012
London, England—When it snows in London, it’s a magical time. Last night it became more Switzerland than the city by the Thames. Any street or park that has even the minutest hint of an incline has a sled on it today. And the British are actually talking to one another in the street, even if it’s just to say ‘Oooch it’s cold today, but rather lovely’. ‘Lovely’ is a superlative for a Brit – it shows they are really happy. I can hear shrieks of delight coming from the kids in my street.
I’ve taken some pictures in my neighbourhood which I think will make some of you hardy North Americans smile. I can almost hear you chuckling ‘Snow – you call that snow? Why that’s a mere dusting of icing sugar on a strudel!’ That may be so, but it’s enough to shake off the mundane and steer even the most hardened Londoner into memories of childhood and stories of winter wonderlands. We were issued a level 3 weather warning (we only have 4) for this. I can hear another wallop of laughter from across the pond.
