Oxford - Winchester Ammunition, which has manufacturing facilities in Oxford, has won a five-year contract to produce ammunition for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Olin Corp. and its Winchester division have been awarded a contract worth up to $50 million to produce ammunition at its Winchester Centerfire Operations in Oxford for two DHS agencies.

"The Department of Homeland Security's wide-ranging border security and law enforcement missions require a significant amount of firepower, particularly for training. I'm pleased that Mississippi will be able to fill that need," said Sen. Thad Cochran (R-Miss.), who serves on the Senate subcommittee with jurisdiction over the Homeland Security Department.

The indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract calls for the procurement of 40 caliber Smith & Wesson training ammunition, with a maximum dollar value of $50 million. The ammunition is intended for use by the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) for field-level training.

Cameron on a psychopathic rampage, vows to terminate Human Rights Act

Prime Minister David Cameron has vowed to terminate the Human Rights Act if the Conservatives are re-elected in Britain's 2015 general election. The controversial proposal has stoked the ire of civil rights groups across the nation.

Speaking on the final day of the Conservative Party's four-day conference, Cameron pledged to scrap the act and replace it with a British "bill of rights."

However, the prime minister did not explicitly confirm that a future Conservative government would withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights - a move that would have far-reaching repercussions for Britain's relationship with Europe.

But legal experts and civil liberties campaigners suggest the PM's pledge to repeal the Act could radically transform Britain's relationship with the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR).

Kate Allen, head of Amnesty International, denounced the PM's controversial policy proposal, emphasizing that the Human Rights Act has historically been a bedrock of social, legal, and economic protection. "It's disappointing to hear the PM vowing to scrap the Human Rights Act when it has done so much good. We should be defending it," she said.

Comment: Cameron must be losing it. First, in his speech to the UN he says those who question the official story of 9/11 are as dangerous as the Islamic State. Then he goes on about scrapping Human Rights Act as described above and he also just let it slip that the poor are people "who we resent". Channel 4 News must have been tapping into something when they inadvertently tweeted, 'Cameron IS evil'!

Video: The geopolitics of World War III or the real reason Russia and Syria are being targeted right now

Comment: Did you catch that last bit by the suit giving the talk on how best to get America into a war to pursue its interests? This is a prime example of the psychopathic thinking that informs all that the U.S. is now doing around the world, domestically, and in the future.

What follows below is a transcript of the excellent video above, and includes the videos that were made reference to. If you've never seen them, they are worth the watch.


Contrary to popular belief, the conduct of nations on the international stage is almost never driven by moral considerations, but rather by a shadowy cocktail of money and geopolitics. As such, when you see the mouthpieces of the ruling class begin to demonize a foreign country, the first question in your mind should always be "what is actually at stake here?"

For some time now Russia, China, Iran, and Syria have been in the cross hairs. Once you understand why, the events unfolding in the world right now will make much more sense.

The U.S. dollar is a unique currency. In fact its current design and its relationship to geopolitics is unlike any other in history. Though it has been the world reserve currency since 1944, this is not what makes it unique. Many currencies have held the reserve status off and on over the centuries, but what makes the dollar unique is the fact that since the early 1970s it has been, with a few notable exceptions, the only currency used to buy and sell oil on the global market.

Unfortunate Freudian slip for David Cameron during his Conference speech today:

Strong evidence links Right Sector and National Guard to mass graves in Ukraine

There is irrefutable evidence that the National Guard and ultra-nationalist Right Sector fighters are responsible for the murder of people recently discovered in mass burial sites near Donetsk, eastern Ukraine said Russia's Investigative Committee.

"For those who have doubts regarding who's responsible for these murders, the Investigative Committee has irrefutable evidence - witness accounts and appropriate examinations - that directly indicates that this crime was committed by fighters from the National Guard and Right Sector," the committee's head Vladimir Markin in a statement on Wednesday.

The mass graves discovered in September near the city of Donetsk in eastern Ukraine "are further eloquent testimony to the atrocities of the Ukrainian nationalists," Markin said, adding that "all of the victims were tortured before their murder."

The murders were described in detail in the testimony of a soldier from the 'Dnepr' battalion, Sergey Litvinov, detained in a Russian hospital as a civilian after he fled Ukraine, Markin said. Currently Litvinov is under arrest and is to be transferred to Moscow for further questioning, he added.

Moldova the next clash between the West and Russia?

Moldova
Lost among the talk of Ukraine's Civil War and the ISIL threat is the coming Russia vs. West clash in Moldova.

The country is sandwiched between Romania and Ukraine, and the region of Transnistria has been de-facto independent for about two decades already.

As Moldova leaps towards the EU (it signed the Association Agreement at the end of June), it is also running towards NATO, and the US has pondered whether or not to grant it major non-NATO ally status via the tentative 'Russian Aggression Prevention Act of 2014' floating around Congress.

The problem is that Transnistria does not want to go along with Moldova's vision of the future.

Instead, it has expressed its desire to politically and economically integrate with Russia, and over 1000 Russian peacekeepers are currently stationed there.

Comment: Western strategists are pursuing an obvious goal of pulling this traditionally friendly partner away from Russia. The activity of the foreign funds, information and political support and a number of issued preferences show how serious Brussels and Washington are as far as the young Moldavian state goes.

Technologies of Maidan were already applied in Moldova in 2009

David Cameron says non-violent conspiracy theorists are just as dangerous as ISIS

In his speech to the U.N General Assembly, David Cameron said that "non-violent extremism" is just as dangerous as terrorism and must be eradicated using all means at the government's disposal.

He referenced 9/11 and 7/7 Truthers as examples of the type of extremism that must be dealt with in a similar fashion to ISIS

Is Cameron officially announcing a plan to carry out a full assault on dissenting views?

British deploy jets on first Iraq anti-ISIS mission

Armed British RAF jets have been deployed on their first mission in Iraq since UK lawmakers voted to authorize military strikes against so-called Islamic State (IS) targets in the country.

A Ministry of Defense Spokesman (MOD) confirmed on Saturday that "Royal Air Force Tornados continue to fly over Iraq and are now ready to be used in an attack role as and when appropriate targets are identified." The spokesman added that no running commentary on the jets' movements would be forthcoming, but they "are pleased with the response time achieved."

On Friday, MPs in Britain's House of Commons voted overwhelmingly to take part in military action against Islamic State (also known ISIS, or ISIL). The motion proposed by Prime Minister David Cameron's government was passed overwhelmingly by 524 votes to 43 - a majority of 481.

Britain's three biggest parties, coalition government partners the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats, plus the opposition Labour party, all officially backed the bombing campaign. The government insisted the intervention was legal under international law because it was requested by the Iraqi prime minister.

Comment: This is like buttering both sides of the bread while bombing wheat silos.

According to Cameron, the cause of the problem is the "poisonous narrative of Islamist extremism" and that Muslims must "reclaim their religion from these extremists." (WOW, that simple! It's a religion problem.)

Cameron called for political efforts to support "inclusive" and "democratic" governments in Iraq and Syria and the British military has an indispensable role to play. There is "no realistic prospect" of defeating Islamic State without it. (Quite important, those Brits!)

The Iraqi government "needs our military help and it is in our interest and theirs to give it...this is not 2003 but we must not use past mistakes as an excuse for indifference or inaction." (Don't let truth get in the way of today's agenda! Look the other way. No false pretext here...)

The Labour leader of the opposition, Ed Miliband stated ,"Intervention always has risks but a dismembered Iraq would be more dangerous for Britain," (Note the description and tie this to the public opinion poll trigger!)

Britain is opting for "the long haul" and a commitment of three to four years to defeat IS. (Seems like a long time to correct a "poisonous narrative..." and a religion problem!)

In convoluted language U.S. government basically says that they will continue killing civilians in Syria

Amid the rise of civilian deaths in US-led military operation against ISIL, Washington has acknowledged that any strikes in Syria and Iraq are exempt from its "standards" applied to other aerial attacks.

US National Security Council spokesperson Caitlin Hayden revealed that the current airstrikes will not be performed in line with a previously announced standard for allegedly minimizing civilian casualties.

Obama announced last year that the highest standard which the US can meet is un-authorizing drone attacks unless there is "near certainty" about the lack of civilian casualties.

Comment: What a load of BS! The U.S. government never bat an eye when their drones kill innocent unarmed civilians around the world.

Money to kill: Pentagon has requested $58.6 billion for wars in 2015

money to kill
Pentagon officials likely will keep using forthe foreseeable future a controversial war spending account that is exempt from federal budget caps, but with some new strings attached, Deputy Defense Secretary Robert Work said Tuesday.

Work kicked off the latest round of debate over the Overseas Contingency Operations, or OCO, account that was originally created last decade to pay for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

"We're going to have to have Overseas Contingency Operations funding for some time. That is in debate now," Work said at the Council on Foreign Relations.

Work said DOD has three options for future of the OCO budget:
  • Move the money into the base budget and increase the Pentagon's top line budget cap;
  • Move the money into the base budget and don't increase the top line, a move Work said "really constrains us;" or
  • Allow the OCO account to remain "and we'll establish the rules to do it."
"I believe that latter one is what we're going to have to do," Work said.

Comment: Put all those figures together and you still won't arrive at the amount of money that is being sucked through the vacuum of endless wars, nor would you ever find out where and what exactly they are being used for.

"It's for your security, stupid!" All right, move along... The congress will approve it anyway.

Meanwhile, US poverty Levels: 49.7 million are poor, and 80% of the total population is near poverty
