He’s raring for war and President Francois Hollande says there will be no vote on the matter despite a recent poll suggesting that three in four French people want parliament to have a say on attacking Syria. Perhaps wary of a UK-like defeat by lawmakers, Hollande’s adiministration insists he alone has the power to order an attack. RT’s Tesa Arcilla reports. And Arnaud Danjean, MEP and President of the Security and Defence subcommittee, joins RT studio.

This is being reported by many concerned youtubers. The video response, that enables people to find like minded people, is going into effect September 12. We’ve seen the clampdown and censorship growing so these types of lamely excused fascist actions are going to be more frequent. Find and move towards alternative and protected means of communication like Unsene soon. And there are alternatives to youtube, just takes some looking around and checking into. Take proactive steps so you’re prepared. – Zen

It has long been acknowledged that the Saudis have been one of the key players funding, arming, training and smuggling terrorists into Syria during the conflict. A February 2012 report from the BBC alleged that Saudi Arabia was one of the key states bankrolling the Syrian jihadis. An October 2012 follow-up confirmed Saudi weapons were being used by the so-called rebels. In February of this year, the Saudi ambassador to Jordan, Fahad bin Abdul Mohsen al-Zaid, admitted that Saudis were involved in arming and training terrorist groups in Syria. But the Saudi connection to the fighting in Syria took on a new dimension in the wake of last month’s chemical attack on Ghouta. The Saudis are now being blamed for supplying the chemical weapons that the rebels used in the attack. In one key report, veteran AP correspondent Dale Gavlak and on-the-ground reporter Yahyah Ababneh interviewed rebels in Ghouta who alleged that the weapons had been supplied by Prince Bandar bin Sultan, the Saudi intelligence chief.
As the possibility of a military strike against Syria looms, some details of Canada’s supporting role in the conflict have emerged.
Canada has given $5.3-million to the Syrian opposition to support the rebels in anti-government propaganda since April 2012, according to the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFAIT).
Canadian funding has helped Syrian rebels establish a pirate radio network and training for journalists and bloggers “in an effort to rapidly increase international credibility of the Syrian opposition and visibility of humanitarian news reporting from Syria,” the government says.
Canada contributed $650,000 toward helping the Syrian Justice and Accountability Centre establish a secure database as part of a program to help support “research and collect evidence of human rights violations for use in future Syria-led transitional justice processes.”
Providing communications equipment has been a priority for the government.
Canada has also provided pre-paid airtime for satellite Internet communication devices with the goal of “increasing co-ordination between opposition networks of local civilian actors involved in local administration and political leadership, during both the conflict and transition phases in Syria,” according to the DFAIT.
In a joint project with the U.S. State Department and the U.K., Canada has contributed to an opposition-controlled media apparatus that produces content for broadcast and print.
The Canadian Fund for Local Initiatives has devised training programs specializing in journalism, activism and leadership, conflict-resolution and community development, to which the government has given $237,000.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird have been firm that Canada’s role in any military action in Syria will be entirely symbolic. Continue Reading
Our tax dollars are funding psychological warfare programs, without our knowledge or consent. Very similar to this:
[Potent News editor’s note: There definitely is unrest on the ground in Syria but the antagonists are the western powers and those they fund and arm for the purpose of invading Syria. My intention in posting this article/videos is not to say all the violence is fake, to be clear, but I simply wish to point out that the west is fueling the fire in these shameful ways.]
I would suggest that you let your MP and anyone else know how you feel about that!
We went to the No War with Syria Protest today in Austin, Texas and a lot of people showed up, but there should have been a lot more. These protests are happening all over the world today and hopefully more people get out and speak out against what our corrupt puppet government is doing in the name of so-called “peace” as our president is poised with his finger on the trigger of yet another shady Middle Eastern conflict.
Perhaps you already know about the numerous health benefits of coconut oil, but were you aware that in as little as one daily serving, the medium chain triglycerides (MCT) or ‘healthy’ fats in coconut oil can start to repair slow neural pathways and improve cognitive functioning and memory? This is true for people of all ages, but especially in senior adults.
The connection between coconut oil and Alzheimer’s prevention and even reversal has been made stronger than ever, as evidenced in recent studies like the one published by the journal, Neurobiology of Aging.
Why Eat (Healthful) Fat?
While many people believe they should avoid fat altogether, medium chain fatty acids are vitally important for our health. They help to:
Prevent vitamin deficiency since many vitamins like vitamin D are only found in fatty parts of foods (good, not man-made fats, like hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils which have been tampered with by man) and are therefore called fat-soluble. This means your body can only absorb these vitamins by eating healthful fats.
Good fats can increase the bio-availability of fat-soluble nutrients needed for multiple tasks in a healthfully functioning body.
Good fats support both physical and physiological health in developing children, starting as early as during fetal development.
As we age, medium chain fatty acids can help prevent cognitive laziness and loss of memory.
MCFA or medium chain fatty acids (which are slightly different than medium chain triglycerides, but also found in coconut oil) are also extremely helpful at reducing belly fat.
The primary healthy triglyceride found in coconut oil is lauric acid, which is found abundantly in a mother’s breast milk. To build a strong body, especially a well-functioning brain, you need fatty acids. Along with balanced glucose levels, full chain amino acids and important micronutrients can keep your brain functioning at high levels from cradle to grave. Consuming coconut oil is a great way to boost not only brain health, but overall health as well.
