Greedy Government Is Eying Yours (RETIREMENT SAVINGS SNEAKY GRAB)

With an $18 trillion debt and $97 trillion or so in unfunded liabilities, Uncle Sam is anything but flush with money. So Congress and President Obama are looking for ways to stem the flow of red ink. And your retirement or pension plan is square in their sights.

Gaza's Christians and Muslims grow closer in defiance of Israeli attacks

At the memorial service a sad young man surrounded by attendees dressed in black gave a speech on behalf of the Greek Orthodox community and questioned the position of the international community in dealing with Israel’s crimes.

“Here is a Palestinian, an Arab, a Christian woman, martyred by Israeli shelling,” he said. “Bombs slammed into us and killed without differentiating between civilians and combatants,” he adds.

Father Manuel Musallam, a former priest of the Latin Church, has always been an advocate for Palestinian unity.

Gun Control Lies

My town, New York City, enforces rigid gun laws. Police refused to assign me a gun permit. The law doesn't even let me hold a fake gun on TV to demonstrate something.

But New York politicians are so eager to vilify gun ownership that they granted an exception to the anti-gun group States United to Prevent Gun Violence. New York allowed States United to set up a fake gun store, where cameras filmed potential gun customers being spoofed by an actor pretending to be a gun-seller.

The Care and Feeding of a Financial Black Hole

A while ago I had the pleasure of hearing Sergey Glazyev—economist, politician, member of the Academy of Sciences, adviser to Pres. Putin—say something that very much confirmed my own thinking.

IMF stalls new SDR basket to keep China out!

Tiwari: To put this in context, the current SDR basket expires at the end of this year. We are proposing extending the current SDR basket by nine months until September 30, 2016. This is in response to feedback from SDR users on the desirability of avoiding changes in the basket at the end of the calendar year and facilitating continued smooth functioning of SDR-related operations. An extension of nine months would also allow users to adjust to a potential changed basket composition should the Executive Board decide to include the RMB.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

So basically, to head of China's Remnimbi and Yuan becoming accepted global currencies, the IMF is going to stretch the current expiration of the SDR "basket" into late next year.

Vladimir Putin had a telephone conversation with President of France Francois Hollande

The President of Russia and the President of France adopted a joint decision to terminate the contract for the construction and delivery of two Mistral-class amphibious assault ships, signed in June 2011.
During expert talks the parties were able to reach a mutually acceptable agreement on reimbursing the Russian side for the funds paid under the contract and returning the Russian equipment and materials that had been supplied.
France has already transferred the refund and once the equipment is returned, it will obtain ownership of both ships and be able to use them.
Moscow considers the Mistral issue to be fully resolved.

Iran Accuses US of Already Backtracking on Nuclear Deal

"History shows that America must lead not just with our might, but with our principles," President Obama said in a speech. "It shows we are stronger not when we are alone, but when we bring the world together."

But according to a new complaint filed with the International Atomic Energy Agency, Iran feels that the US has already breached its newfound pledge of comradery.

Filed by Iranian Ambassador and Resident Representative Reza Najafi, the complaint refers to statements made by White House press secretary Josh Earnest. These comments occurred during a news briefing on July 17, only three days after a deal was reached.

Militias hurled rocks and opened fire against several dozen supporters of the toppled former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, who took to the streets of Benghazi to demand the release of his sons and protest the chaos and power vacuum in the country.

“Only God, Muammar and Libya!” chanted members of a small group, holding old Libyan flags in remembrance of the longtime autocrat, who was toppled and murdered, following a Western-backed uprising and NATO led military intervention in 2011.

US to normalize relations with Russia as a result of secret talks in Europe

Editors of the Italian publication Mil21.es published an article that cites sources at European intelligence reports about ongoing secret negotiations between Russian and US military. The talks reportedly focus on a political deal between the parties. Under the conditions of the deal, NATO will reduce its anti-Russian activity in the Ukrainian direction in exchange for cooperation with Russia in the Middle East.
The United States, the publication said, aims to topple a number of Sunni regimes in the Middle East that opposed the cooperation of the West with Iran. The US also discusses the struggle against the Islamic State - the terrorist organization that previously enjoyed the support of Washington, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey to topple Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Lately, the Islamic State has come out of control and become a concern for the States.

Americans to break Ukraine apart if they fail to get Russia involved in the conflict officially

Kiev representatives have left the talks of the contact group for the conflict settlement in the Donbass following appropriate instructions from the United States, experts say. "Kiev doesn't have an independent strategy in the talks. The Kiev authorities are completely dependent on the United States and partly on the EU. The EU needs to solve the Ukrainian crisis as soon as possible, as it causes critical damage to the EU. America, on the contrary, wants to help Ukraine to create as many problems for Russia. This is where contradictions come from. The EU is putting pressure on Kiev to implement Minsk-2, which makes it possible to stabilize the situation".
At the same time, "the United States forces Kiev to suicidal provocations in a hope that they will get Russia involved in the conflict sooner or later. If they fail to do that officially, then they will break Ukraine apart to leave the scorched land for Russia," the expert said.

US Politicians’ Racist Anti-Iranian Remarks Don’t Make Headlines

Imagine a US senator publicly calling the Chinese “evil people.” Imagine a governor saying African leaders are “animals.” Imagine a presidential candidate claiming Latinos are “liars.” In each of these cases, the media would rightfully explode, condemning the politicians for their overt racism.

A notable exception to this, however, exists in the US political system and media establishment: When politicians make ludicrous claims about Iranians, when Republicans deploy orientalist myths about purportedly bloodthirsty Persians in order to sabotage their own government’s attempts at diplomacy, the media largely sit on their hands.

Saakashvili has been endowed with certain powers, but not on the pan-Ukrainian level. In Odessa, he is dealing with specific tasks that have been agreed in advance with the Americans.

The document points out the effects of the bombings would be felt 70 years after," Ilyshev-Vvedensky said. "The present day merely confirms the conclusions made in that report," he concluded.

Two security consultants have created a new computer worm, the Thunderstrike 2, that attacks the core hardware of a Mac computer once unleashed. The worm was designed to expose vulnerabilities in the once-assumed airtight security of Apple products.

The worm works by attacking the computer’s firmware, the software that comes pre-installed and loads the operating system. Firmware provides control, monitoring and data manipulation in engineering products or systems.

UK immigration authorities prejudiced towards Russians — diplomat

Russian nationals applying for UK visas are on a regular basis facing prejudiced and discriminatory attitude of British immigration authorities, Russian Ambassador in London Alexander Yakovenko told the Kommersant daily.
"We are first of all concerned not about the immigration rules of Great Britain as they are, but the way they are applied to our citizens. And in all appearances they are applied with prejudice," he said.
"We cannot but see it as a tendency within the general context of our bilateral relations with Great Britain," he continued. "The affected persons are Russians from different social groups, with different aims of their trips. The only thing uniting them is the Russian passport and discriminatory attitude of British people," Yakovenko said.
"Not all of them report such unpleasant incidents, as many fear that a complaint about arbitrary treatment on the border will make it more difficult for them to obtain visas in the future," the ambassador noted.

Plane debris discovered on Reunion Island belongs to flight MH370 – Malaysian PM

Malaysian premier Najib Razak has confirmed that plane debris found on Reunion Island belongs to flight MH370 which went missing last year.

The PM has also stated that his government is working to discover the truth about what happened to the flight.

"The international team of experts have conclusively confirmed that the aircraft debris found on Reunion Island is indeed from MH370," he said in a televised statement, as cited by Reuters.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

Best guess at this point,. based on eyewitness testimony and tragic prior history,. is that Maylasian Airlines Flight 370 was shot down by accident during a military exercise. While everyone was sent off looking at remote places like Diego Garcia, India, and Israel, the debris was cleaned up ... but they didn't get it all.

Russian embassy in London asks Russians to report incidents at British immigration offices

The recommendation followed a yet another in a chain of cases of unfair treatment of arriving Russian citizens by the staff of the British immigration service. "A Russian woman told about an incident she had found herself in at a London airport a short while ago," a spokesman told TASS. "The immigration authorities stopped her before crossing the border. The passport control officials were keen to get some supplementary information on the objectives of her visit and they also asked her whether she spoke Arabic or had travelled to Arab countries."
"Our compatriot said she had been stopped because of her oriental look," the spokesman said. "There can be no guarantees the British side will not practice the similar exercises against the Russian citizens at the points of entry in the future as an instrument of psychological pressure and a tool of a political game in the context of the current status of our bilateral relations".

"You cannot impose your will upon others by force," Lavrov added.

FBI looking into the security of Hillary Clinton’s private e-mail setup

The FBI has begun looking into the security of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s private e-mail setup, contacting in the past week a Denver-based technology firm that helped manage the unusual system, according to two government officials.

Also last week, the FBI contacted Clinton’s lawyer, David Ken­dall, with questions about the security of a thumb drive in his possession that contains copies of work e-mails Clinton sent during her time as secretary of state.

The FBI’s interest in Clinton’s e-mail system comes after the intelligence community’s inspector general referred the issue to the Justice Department in July. Intelligence officials expressed concern that some sensitive information was not in the government’s possession and could be “compromised.”

Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin emerges as potential liability in 2016 bid

Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s closest aide is starting to look like a liability on the campaign trail for the Democratic presidential front-runner.

Huma Abedin, who has been at Mrs. Clinton’s side as her personal assistant — or “body woman” — since the 2008 presidential race, has come under scrutiny for pocketing a $33,000 payout from the State Department for unused leave and using her simultaneous employment inside and outside of government to “deliver favors” to Clinton cronies.

The survey considers that gap to be a statistical tie, but it shows that Mr. Sanders continues to show strength after months of negative publicity about Mrs. Clinton’s use of a private email server as secretary of state.

The poll also found that Mr. Sanders is the most popular Democratic candidate in the state in terms of favorability, with a rating of 59 percent. That tops Mrs. Clinton’s 54 percent.

Jesse Benton, a longtime aide to the younger Paul, who’s now helming a super PAC supporting the Kentucky Republican’s 2016 presidential bid, faces charges of conspiracy, obstructing an investigation, submitting false campaign finance reports to the FEC, and making false statements to the FBI. Two other operatives, John Tate and Dimitrios Kesari, also face charges connected to the alleged payoff.

Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin linked to Bill Clinton's 'enterprises'

An internal investigation by the Obama State Department discovered information that a top State Department aide to then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, disgraced Democrat Anthony Weiner's wife Huma Abedin, while working as a government employment was involved in activities that could be construed as conflicts of interest. The investigation reported on Monday also discovered evidence of overpayments by then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to her alleged "closest aide."

In a previous letter to Secretary of State John Kerry, Sen. Chuck Grassley, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, stated that a special probe by the State Department's inspector general uncovered possible leveraging of a State Department job by Huma Abedin that appears to have benefited her other employers while she worked for Mrs. Clintion. The two paid positions were with the now infamous Clinton Foundation and a consulting firm called Teneo Strategies that is also tied to former President Bill Clinton.

THE PENTAGON’S $500 MILLION SYRIAN REBEL FORCE DEFEATED IN FIRST BATTLE

The Anti-Media previously highlighted the failure of the Obama administration’s plan to train and equip moderate Syrian rebels to fight the Islamic State (IS, ISIS, ISIL). While the plan was to train and equip 5,600 moderate Syrian rebels, only 54 rebels actually crossed the border from Turkey into Syria.

On July 31, these rebels, known as Division 30, were attacked by al-Nusra Front, the al-Qaeda affiliate in Syria. They performed poorly in the firefight and had to withdraw from their base near the town of Azaz. As the Associated Press reported,

Russia Ready To Send Paratroopers To Syria

Not wanting to miss an opportunity to justify what would otherwise be a rather brash declaration, Russia is reportedly ready to send in the paratroopers should Syria request Moscow’s help in battling terrorist elements. Here’s more via Tass:

The Russian Airborne Troops are ready to assist Syria in countering terrorists, if such a task is set by Russia’s leaders, commander of the Airborne Troops Colonel-General Vladimir Shamanov told reporters on Tuesday.

In other words, two (or three, or four) can play at the "use ISIS as an excuse to go to war with our real enemies" game and just like the US can send in trainers and "forward spotters" to protect its interests in Iraq, so too can Russia send in a few airborne troops to protect its interests in Damascus.

BRAINWASHED CNN HOST ASKS PLANNED PARENTHOOD VIDEO MAKER IF HE’S A ‘VIOLENT EXTREMIST’

The mainstream media’s defense of the butchers of Planned Parenthood hit a new low Tuesday, when a CNN interviewer asked the man behind the undercover videos exposing the group if he is a “violent extremist.”

“New Day” host Alisyn Camerota’s interview with David Daleiden of the Center for Medical Progress initially focused on Monday night’s failure in the Senate to defund Planned Parenthood and the money Daleiden’s videos clearly show Planned Parenthood raking in from the sale of aborted fetuses.

But midway through, she veered right into the abortion industry’s talking points.

“Your critics – critics of your organization I should say– say that you’re not journalists as you purport to be on your website, but rather you’re violent extremists,” Camerota said. “Do you have any ties to Operation Rescue?”

Apparently, to Ms. Camerata's "thought process", one cannot be pro-life without being "a violent extremist"

While I am pro-life, I do understand there are times when there is nothing else to be done, for example, when the pregnancy presents a real, and tangible, threat to the life of the mother. Abortion should be safe, legal...but rare.

People who are getting into relationships (and gentlemen, I am talking about you also) need to sit down with that partner, and have a candid conversation about birth control. If you cannot or will not have that conversation, maybe there is a real strong chance that you are with the wrong person.

Israeli Military Brass Support Iran Deal

Haaretz reports that an impressive list of top Israeli military brass support the deal with Iran. These military leaders wrote a letter to Netanyahu urging him to support the Iran deal.

Because it’s hard to read names jammed together without any organization, here’s a list of some of the military bigwigs (all now retired) who signed the letter:

Shlomo Gaza, Chief of Intelligence, Major General
Carmi Gillon, Director of Israel Security Agency
Ami Ayalon, Vice Admiral, Director of Israel Security Agency
Itamar Yaar, Colonel Deputy Israeli National Security Council
Arie Pellman, Israeli Security Agency official
Amiram Levin, deputy of the Mossad director, Major General
Itzhak Barzilay, Mossad official
Nathan Sharony, Major General, head of planning for the armed forces

Numerous admirals and generals signed the letter as well:

David Ben Bashat, Vice Admiral
Micha Ram, Vice Admiral
Alex Tal, Vice Admiral

RISK ASSESSMENTS ARE BEING USED TO SENTENCE PEOPLE TO JAIL AND DEATH

States are trying to reduce prison populations with secretive, new psychological assessments to predict which inmates will commit future crimes and who might be safe to release, despite serious problems and high-profile failures.

Five things to know about risk assessment surveys:

THEY COULD BE USED IN A COURT SYSTEM NEAR YOU: Dozens of different surveys are being used across the country. The surveys vary in the kinds of questions asked and how they are used. Largely confined to parole and probation decisions, these surveys are increasingly being used for sentencing.

IT'S A SECRET: The survey results — and in some cases the actual survey questions — are clouded in secrecy. Some states never release the evaluations, shielding government officials from being held accountable for decisions that affect public safety.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

A head of the board of Governors from the US penal system needs, immediately, to call the head of the board of Swedish penal systems, because Sweden has been able to close down many of their prisons, due to not having enough inmates to fill them, and have kept their rate of recidivism very low.

And why?!?

(This is something the American penal system just doesn't collectively do)

The total focus of incarceration is rehabilitation in Sweden. In the US, by the time felons have "done their time", they are apt to be more psychologically more messed up than when they went in.

Treasures from Mars' ancient history

Slipher (1883-1964) was an astronomer who studied Mars from the storied Lowell Observatory, the same place from which Clyde Tombaugh discovered Pluto. From 1907 until his death he studied Mars from Lowell, producing an unrivaled time-series of photographs of the Red Planet at every opposition. The book I purchased was published just two years before his death and contains reproductions of his photos from 1907 to 1961, as well as a lengthy text describing his observations and the conclusions he drew from them. According to sources on the Internet Slipher, like his observatory's founder Perceval Lowell (1855-1915), saw canals on Mars and believed they were evidence for present or past civilizations. My quick scan of the text didn't turn up any mention of canals, but they're there in the maps published at the beginning of the plates in this book.

Webmaster's Commentary: 


Slipher was probably seeing the massive dust storms we now know blow across the surface of Mars from time to time, sometimes covering an entire hemisphere. When Mariner 9 first arrived at Mars in 1971, it was impossible to image the surface at all because of the haze of fine dust. Thankfully, Mariner 9 was the first spacecraft to orbit Mars, and could wait patiently for the dust storm to subside to carry out the mission.

That being said, we know Mars has microbial life, and while such life is far too small to be seen as individuals with the current sensors on the rovers, detectable seasonal color shifts on a planetary scale are not out of the question.

Catalonia Calls Election in New Bid for Secession From Spain

A year ago, secessionist movements were all the rage in Europe — until they were not.

After a nerve-rattling campaign, Scots narrowly voted in September to remain part of Britain. Two months later, Catalonia’s drive for an independence referendum fizzled into a nonbinding vote after being thwarted by Spanish courts.

But if Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy of Spain breathed a sigh of relief that the issue was behind him, he has reason again to worry.

Catalan politicians have managed to revive the independence issue. Setting aside personal and political rivalries, they have formed a broad alliance of candidates whose aim is to turn a regional parliamentary election scheduled for September into a plebiscite on breaking away from Spain.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

As a side note, that Scottish independence vote was marked by massive and obvious fraud, and there will be another in the near future.

IN AN ATTEMPT TO PREVENT DRUG OVERDOSES, POLITICIANS PROPOSE TO BAN MUSIC FESTIVALS

According to Fox11, Los Angeles County Supervisor Hilda Solis introduced a motion at a board meeting this week that would ban all music festivals on county property. The motion is a reactionary step following the death of two people at last weekend’s HARD Summer music festival at the Pomona Fairgrounds.

Apple stock plummets for a fifth straight day, wiping out $113billion of its value, as the company struggles to meet raised expectations

The world's most valuable public company saw its stock price drop for a fifth straight day on Tuesday, falling as much as $5.19 or 4.4 percent, to $113.25 as investors fretted over China's economy and whether Apple can keep growing at the pace it's maintained over the last few quarters.

Apple shares are down 14 percent since closing at a record $133 in February. That puts Apple in a 'correction,' which is Wall Street jargon for price declines of 10 percent or more from a peak.

That loss breaks down to $113.4billion in paper wealth according to USA Today.

Libya War: What They Don’t Want You to Know

We are taught all our lives that our modern political systems are “by and for the people.” In order to justify taking us to war, then, our misleaders have to convince us that war is not a racket, as General Smedley Butler revealed, and is not for the benefit of the industrialists who sell the munitions or the politicians in their back pocket or the financiers that own them both, but in the interest of the average man or woman. In other words, they lie through their teeth.

Such was the case with Afghanistan, which we were told was all about the hunt for Osama…until it no longer was.

Or in Iraq, which was all about weapons of mass destruction…until it no longer was.

U.S. / NATO Gold Heist of Libya's Gold Reserves

The real reason for Barack Hussein Obama attacking Libya has nothing to do with humanitarian reasons. It has everything to do with a gold heist. Barack Hussein Obama unlawfully sent U.S. forces to attack Libya to control the country’s vast oil (black gold) resources and its 144 tons of gold bullion.

Today the U.S., France, the UK, Canada and other NATO war criminals are pouring into Libya to steal the Libyan people’s gold. U.S. and British troops are already on the ground (in violation of the UN Resolution 1973) to extract the gold bullion. It is the stolen Libyan gold that Barack Obama is offering the European Union. The bankrupt United States is offering to bailout the bankrupt European Union with stolen Libyan gold. A thief is helping out another thief using stolen goods. How humanitarian of Obama.

Saadi Gaddafi torture video shows name guarantees ‘maximum mistreatment’ & no justice – lawyer to RT

Tony Blair should face trial for war crimes over Iraq, says Jeremy Corbyn

Tony Blair should be charged with war crimes for ordering the 2003 invasion of Iraq, Labour leadership frontrunner Jeremy Corbyn has claimed.

In an extraordinary attack on Labour's most successful ever leader, Mr Corbyn said that 'those that made the decisions' in the run-up to the conflict should be put on trial.

He said Mr Blair should be made to 'explain' launching an 'illegal' war which he said helped cause recent migrant deaths in the Mediterranean.

Moment whip in Sir Edward Heath's Government revealed that his job was to cover up scandals 'involving small boys' and the PM kept details in a 'dirt book'

This is the chilling moment Sir Edward Heath's Commons enforcer revealed part of his job had been to cover up 'scandals involving small boys'.

Tim Fortescue, an assistant whip while Sir Edward was prime minister, was part of the so-called 'Westminster Secret Service' who would hide dirty secrets for MPs and blackmail them for loyalty.

Mr Fortescue, who died in 2008, admitted Ted Heath had encouraged him to compile a 'dirt book' on Tory colleagues and would try to ‘get a chap out of trouble’ before demanding favours in return.

FLASHBACK - 2012 Defense Intelligence Agency document: West will facilitate rise of Islamic State “in order to isolate the Syrian regime”

While initial mainstream media reporting is focused on the White House’s handling of the Benghazi consulate attack, a much “bigger picture” admission and confirmation is contained in one of the Defense Intelligence Agency documents circulated in 2012: that an ‘Islamic State’ is desired in Eastern Syria to effect the West’s policies in the region.

Astoundingly, the newly declassified report states that for “THE WEST, GULF COUNTRIES, AND TURKEY [WHO] SUPPORT THE [SYRIAN] OPPOSITION… THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF ESTABLISHING A DECLARED OR UNDECLARED SALAFIST PRINCIPALITY IN EASTERN SYRIA (HASAKA AND DER ZOR), AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE SUPPORTING POWERS TO THE OPPOSITION WANT, IN ORDER TO ISOLATE THE SYRIAN REGIME…”.

State Dept. 'frankly doesn't know' legal authority behind US airstrikes supporting Syrian rebels

The US has been carrying out airstrikes against ISIS in Syria for almost a year, and the latest decision to bomb Syrian government forces in order to “protect” US-trained “moderate rebels” does not require any additional legal justification, the State Department believes.

Since the US-backed rebel groups in Syria are operating in the “lawless area” of the country, they are under the pressure from “a lot of different forces,” US State Department deputy spokesperson Mark Toner told RT’s Gayane Chichakyan while trying to explain the legal basis for the change in US policy.

“I frankly don’t know what the legal authority is,” Toner said, adding that the situation in Syria remains “complex and fluid.”

Speaking at the "round table" dedicated to the 70 anniversary of the atomic bombing of the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Naryshkin added:

"In today's world, unfortunately, there are influential forces that seek to erase from the history of the bombing and its terrible consequences, and that when this crime was committed. The memory of these crimes, however, is less important than remembering the atrocities of the Nazis and the Japanese militarists. "

With the most crass and outrageous timing and censorship, Facebook has chosen the very week when David Icke has been proved right about Prime Minister Ted Heath to ban him for posting what reflects the truth about Heath and his relationship with Savile.

David was the only person who publicly named Prime Minister Ted Heath as a paedophile, Satanist and child killer while he was still alive and has done so constantly since.

Indeed this very picture and words have been posted in the past on Facebook long before the Heath story broke in the mainstream media this week and it was not removed.

It is true that there are some concerns that a sanctions-free Iran will flex its regional muscle even more after the deal. But the benefits of such a deal outweigh the fear-based perceived risks.

After years of failure on so many fronts, this is the first major breakthrough for international diplomacy.

For the first time in many years, all major world powers worked together for an agreement that pushes nuclear proliferation away.

"Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me.

They think, deep in their hearts, that they are better than we are because we had to discover the compensations and refuges of life for ourselves. Even when they enter deep into our world or sink below us, they still think that they are better than we are. They are different."

The Israelis who employed Mr. Pollard also failed to take into account the risk he posed to the American Jewish community, which was subsequently suspected of disloyalty ... When the case blew up, the Israelis did the opposite of what was needed to placate the furious American administration - they continued lying and concealing essential facts from the F.B.I. investigators who came to Tel Aviv ... Israelis must realize, even if 30 years too late, that Americans see Mr. Pollard as a traitor of the worst kind and that celebrating his release will only further harm Israel's already strained relations with America.

Space crab? Mars object in NASA pics totally thrills red planet fans

“Spider”, “Alien”, “John Carter”, “awesome Martian space crab” – these are a few suggestions by social media users who apparently thoroughly studied a recent NASA image of Mars which captured a strange object on the surface of the red planet.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

See VIKING, LIFE ON MARS, AND DR. GILBERT LEVIN

Meanwhile, TIME magazine says you're just imagining things!

Here is my take. I am frustrated by the fact that this is a jpeg with compression artifacts versus the uncompressed raw image. If anyone has the original data please send it along.

It is clear that this object is not part of the underlying regolith. The difference in shape makes it clear that this is formed by a different process than the surrounding terrain.

On a purely subjective level it looks like a dead root system that washed into a convenient hole. Or something that lived in the hole, like a sea anemone that has died. Were I in charge, I would consider it worthwhile to backtrack and take another look. But as I pointed out in the article about Dr. Gilbert Levin, there appears to be a political agenda to not acknowledge life on Mars, which explains the nonsensical TIME magazine dismissal of the object, and the fact that Curiosity (not living up to its name) just passed this by.
