U.S. nears deal for $1 billion in Egypt debt relief: source | Reuters
(There is nothing pro-democracy about Egypt these days, at least not according to our definition of democracy. Sharia law is being instituted there, Christians are being crucified, and the Muslim Brotherhood is taking control of the country...their goal, a caliphate - not a democracy. AW)
The Obama administration is close to a deal with Egypt's new government for $1 billion in debt relief, a senior U.S. official said on Monday, as Washington seeks to help Cairo shore up its ailing economy in the aftermath of its pro-democracy uprising.

Hong Kong protest over school 'brainwashing' by China - Telegraph
Chanting "No to brainwashing education. Withdraw national education", some 8000 people denounced a Hong Kong government-funded booklet entitled "The China Model" they say glorifies China's single Communist party rule while glossing over more brutal aspects of its rule and political controversies.

Michael Moriarty -- The History of World War III, Part 2
To The Finland Station, Bill Clinton’s favorite tome in the highest heat of his collegiate idealism, and the most recent edition of which – as far as I know now of such editions – has a most revealing introduction by Professor Louis Menand of New York University. It is basically a “Before You Read Warning.”
New York University, near which I lived for many years, is hardly a bastion of conservative thought. Yet one of its esteemed professors is cautious enough to qualify the love affairs that young American Marxists fell into with that firebrand of Revolution, Vladimir Ilyich Lenin.
The not-so-young but metaphysically urbane Leninist, Edmund Wilson, records Vladimir Lenin’s now historic journey from Finland to Revolutionary Russia and its “Finland Station” in St. Petersburg, a city that was eventually to be called Leningrad.

Dr. Dennis Cuddy -- The Power Elite and the Muslim Brotherhood, Part 16
(this is a continuing series, you can access previous posts through this article - AW)
At the beginning of Part 15 of this series, I mentioned that U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann and four other members of Congress had inquired about the possible influence of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) within our federal government. Rep. Keith Ellison asked Rep. Bachmann for more information about her concerns, and she replied that the federal government continues to be "advised by organizations and individuals that the U.S. government itself has identified in federal courts as fronts for the international Muslim Brotherhood."
As David Horowitz noted a few days ago (August 30): "In 2010, State Department officials began 'engaging' with Muslim Brotherhood representatives shortly before the 'Arab Spring.' In 2011, State Department officials trained Muslim Brotherhood operatives on how to win elections as part of a course in 'democracy theories' following the fall of Hosni Mubarak...."
In Part 15, I mentioned that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's Deputy Chief-of-Staff Huma Abedin's father, mother and brother have connections to organizations with ties to the MB. In the 1990s at George Washington University, Huma herself was a member of the Muslim Students Association, which has ties to the MB. Not only is Huma's mother a member of the Muslim Sisterhood, but it is worth noting that the wife of the newly elected Egyptian president Mohammed Morsi is also a member of the Sisterhood.

Morning Bell: Union Money in Elections
This election year, millions of Americans will donate to the political candidates and initiatives of their choice at the local, state, and federal levels. But for unionized workers, union dues come out of their paychecks and go to political causes—and they aren't consulted on where that money will go.

Dutch embrace radical left as European dream sours/Geert Wilders info
Just over two months ago, the small Dutch community of Almelo woke up to a tragedy that turned out to have national repercussions. On a modest street in a rundown area, Aziz Kara, a 64-year-old Turk, became embroiled in a ferocious argument with his neighbours. When he was struck to the ground, the impact of the blow put him into a coma. Ten days later Kara died of a brain haemorrhage.
In normal circumstances, the death would have preoccupied only the local media. But as the Netherlands prepares for its second national election in two years, Kara's case was different. When relatives and the local community organised a silent march through the streets of Almelo, politicians and mourners came from The Hague and across the country. National newspaper columns were devoted to the incident, which quickly became a PR disaster for arguably the most influential far-right politician in the European Union, Geert Wilders.

Walmart iPhone ‘Scan & Go’ being tested
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is testing a “Scan & Go” system that would allow shoppers to scan items using their iPhones and then quickly pay at a self-checkout counter.
If the test by the world’s largest retailer is successful, it has the potential to change the way people shop and pay, making the process more personal and potentially faster.

The Digital Wallet Is Starting to Take Shape
Imagine if, in addition to all the things your smartphone does now, it could also act as your keys to the real world.
Instead of fumbling through a wallet for your credit cards, coupons, gift certificates, plane tickets, membership cards and receipts, you could simply tap your phone to a terminal. All the necessary information would load automatically, and then you’d simply confirm your identity with a thumbprint or PIN.

Fantastic New Video Shows Huge Eruption on the Sun
This video by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captures a dramatic filament eruption on Aug. 31. Shown in the video in extreme ultraviolet light, the filament collapsed and exploded in spectacular fashion. The segment shown in red covers nearly 3 hours.
The NOAA spaceweather prediction center estimates the resulting cloud of radiation will reach Earth on Sep. 3, but will only create a minor to moderate geomagnetic storm.

Carey blasts Cameron for going back on his promise as UK fights for a ban on crosses at work | Mail Online
A former Archbishop of Canterbury yesterday accused David Cameron of going back on his promise to support the rights of Christians to wear a cross in the workplace.
Just five months ago the Prime Minister insisted that Christians should be allowed to display a token of their faith, yet his Government lawyers are now preparing to tell European human rights judges the opposite

Official: Obama will make Bibi pay after elections - Israel News, Ynetnews
Other officials in Jerusalem said Washington is trying to send a message that Israel will not drag it into war, certainly not before the elections. The Americans were enraged by Israel's repeated threats to launch a solo military attack on Iran's nuclear sites, and top US General Martin Dempsey's recent statement that he does not "want to be complicit" if Israel chooses to attack was carefully worded.

We Are Staring At Economic Destruction & Soaring Inflation
Today Michael Pento writes exclusively for King World News to put readers ahead of the curve on what is happening with central planners. Pento warned, “The European Central Bank and Federal Reserve are both about to announce, this very month, an incredible assault on the Euro and the dollar.” Pento also cautioned, “... this is just the beginning of rising unemployment and soaring inflation.”
Pento also let investors know how to protect themselves in the coming chaos. Here is Pento’s piece: “Central banks will do something in September that causes fiat currencies to be flushed down the toilet. It will mark the beginning of the end for money that is not backed by precious metals. The events will be a desperate and final attempt to save faltering global GDP, but it will only lead to further economic destruction and intractable inflation.”
