naturalnews.comAs Iraq Burns - US Plans $500 Million to Terrorists in Syria

President Obama requested $500 million from Congress on Thursday to train and equip what the White House is calling “appropriately vetted” members of the Syrian opposition, reflecting increased worry about the spillover of the Syrian conflict into Iraq.
(The New York Times published yet another horrific illustration of how ruthless some of the rebels can be, noting that while Assad’s forces have certainly committed atrocities, the rebels certainly aren’t eschewing violence, and their crimes pose a “dilemma” for the west. The article includes video of the rebels executing seven badly beaten Syrian soldiers, the leader intoning: “We swear to the Lord of the Throne, that this is our oath: We will take revenge.”)
The reportage is a stunning
entanglement of contradictions, claiming that the additional funding for
terrorists fighting in Syria will somehow address “spillover” that is
in fact a direct result of US, NATO, and their Persian Gulf
collaborators’ creation, expansion, and perpetuation of the war in Syria
in the first place.
The NYT also stated:
The
training program would be a significant step for a president who has
consistently resisted providing military aid to the rebels in the
conflict in Syria, and has warned of the dangers of American
intervention. But military and State Department officials indicated that
there were not yet any specific programs to arm and train the rebels
that the money would fund, nor could administration officials specify
which moderate Syrian opposition members they intended to train and
support, or where they would be trained.Full Article at infowars.com

RESEARCH CONFIRMS LEGALIZING MEDICAL MARIJUANA DOES NOT INCREASE CRIME
Yet
More Proof Fears of Legalization Remain Unfounded in Science
Researchers at the University of Texas Dallas
published an article in PLOS
ONE today that indicates that despite opponents’ fears, legalizing
medical marijuana does not increase crime and may actually lower some types of violent
crime.
The study examined FBI Uniform Crime Report statistics on murder, rape, assault, robbery, burglary, larceny and auto theft from all 50 states, including 11 states that legalized medical marijuana during the course of the study, over a 17 year period from 1990-2006. Controlling for confounding factors, they found no increases in any category of offense and even saw a slight decrease in homicides and assaults.

The study is reminiscent of a University
of Chicago study that came out last year showing that, despite opponents’
warnings about increases in unsafe driving behaviors, legalizing medical
marijuana was associated with a drop in traffic fatalities.
In addition, preliminary figures in Colorado and Washington, the two states to have legalized marijuana for recreational use, show traffic fatalities in those states have slightly decreased the first year of full legalization.
