Israel and the Ongoing Holocaust in Congo (Part 1)

Maurice Tempelsman is one of the top funders of the Democratic Party who has funded Barrack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Templesman was the unofficial ambassador to the Congo (Zaire) for years, but a new Israeli-American tycoon has replaced him.

RAW - Sept - FUNK RAW – Jesse Brede – September 2009 Pt 2 (Funk Mix) by jessebrede I recently played a 30 minute set and felt that the mood of the venue was in some serious need of some funk. The crowd responded and I realized I’ve yet to record a funk mix in all my years of djing. The mixes are a bit rougher than my normal fair but I really like my track selection. 1 Funky Intro – Badboe 2 Bring It Fast – Gramatik 3 Get It Right – Breakestra 4 How You Like Me Now?(Single Edit)

Video Games Are Changing the World, Just Not the Way You Think

Video games: they encourage violence, enable anti-social behavior, and contribute to weight gain. They further demobilize today’s youth and foster addiction to and dependency on technology…at least that’s what I used to think. But not anymore. Have you ever thought video games could be used to create positive change? Surprised? So was I. There is a movement bubbling in today’s $26 billion gaming industry, and it’s geared at inspiring social action. Meet Games for Change (G4C), a nonprofi

The 11-day trip will be her longest since she became the top US diplomat six months ago and her first to sub-Saharan Africa, where some had feared the continent was not an early priority for the administration.

The Secretary Has Landed! *updated*

Dipnotes is reporting she is wheels down in Nairobi and AFP correspondent, Shaun Tandon , just tweeted that the motorcade has sped away.

End the blood libels against Israel & the IDF.

  by Isi Leibler The current global campaign accusing the IDF of "crimes against humanity" and "genocide" exceeds all the obscene libels that have ever been launched against the Jewish state. One of Israel's proudest achievements is the IDF code of conduct, which instills awareness that Israelis are obliged to act as role models of decency. It is all the more impressive that such an ethical military code was implemented in Israel, the only country in the w

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in Africa: the 'Super Size Me' tour

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has returned to Africa for an 11-day, seven-country tour of the continent. I use the term “returned to Africa” because Hillary Clinton has been to Africa before, most recently accompanying President Obama during his visit to Egypt in May and in her role as the U.S. ‘First Lady’ during former U.S. President Bill Clinton’s administration. Some readers may not remember the 1997 whirlwind tour through Africa by Hillary Clinton together with her daughter
