ISIS Militants Down Iraqi Military Helicopter, Advance On Kurdish Town

-






This is the second time in a week that ISIS militants have taken down an Iraqi helicopter, according to The New York Times, suggesting the radical group possesses and are able to operate ground-to-air missiles — a worrying prospect for the United States military which is conducting its own air strikes in support of Iraqi and Kurdish ground forces. While American fighter jets generally fly at altitudes too high to be hit by shoulder-mounted missiles, The New York Times reported that, on Sunday, the U.S. military began using Apache helicopters to conduct airstrikes in Anbar province in western Iraq. On Tuesday, U.S. airstrikes repelled ISIS militants which for weeks had advanced on the Kurdish town of Kobane, located in Syria near the Turkish border. Extremists with the Islamic State shot down an Iraqi helicopter on Wednesday outside Baiji, home to Iraq's largest oil refinery. Two people reportedly died in the crash. http://on.mash.to/1pQXCWS http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ

Muslim Group to Charlie Hebdo: Don't Publish New Issue

An influential Muslim institution in Egypt has warned the French satirical magazine that was attacked by Islamist militants last week against publishing its new issue, which features a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad on its cover. Egypt's official Religious Edict Authority, known as Dar El Ifta, said the magazine, Charlie Hebdo, is unnecessarily provoking the feelings of 1.5 billion Muslims worldwide who love and respect the Prophet. Charlie Hebdo's new issue, which was sent to the presses Monday night, features on its cover a cartoon of a bug-eyed Prophet Muhammad shedding a tear and holding a sign that says Je Suis Charlie, the now-popular phrase of solidarity with the magazine. http://nbcnews.to/1DVm8yb http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ

FUKUSHIMA ..The Worst Lie That Has Ever Been Committed Against The Human Race!

OH NO!, THEY SAY! DON'T LET THE PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THIS, BECAUSE THEN WE WOULD HAVE PROBLEMS... PROBLEMS, they say? The-Powers-That-Be are a group of sociopaths that cannot see beyond their own noses of greed, and in their haste to gather all of the world's monetary value and control, they have brought this on, with NO IDEA ON HOW TO CONTROL OR STOP IT! THEY HAVE OPENED THE PROVERBIAL PANDORA'S BOX AND NOW DON'T KNOW HOW TO CONTAIN OR STOP THE APOCALYPSE THEY HAVE CREATED. So what do we do now? I don't know, and even the world's nuclear scientists don't know. What should have been done was not, and that would have been to take over Japan when this first occured, and employ every nuclear scientist together into a think-tank, to attempt to solve it. At this point in time, if the UN did this now, it would be like trying to close the barn door AFTER the livestock has already escaped. It's too late!!! They would have us believe that the vastness of our oceans...
