By Phil Stewart | WASHINGTON WASHINGTON U.S. President Donald Trump’s call for a military plan to defeat Islamic State is likely to see the Pentagon revisiting options for a more aggressive use of firepower and American troops. But U.S. officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, doubt the country’s military will advocate fundamentally changing a key strategy refined during the Obama administration: relying on local forces to do […]

HIV patients can cheer up, as an effective suppression of the HIV virus from a combination of three antibodies in the treatment is in sight.

The options for going elsewhere might soon shrink. At least 16 other countries have committed to creating similar public registries, according to Global Witness. In Ottawa, Finance Minister Bill Morneau says the issue is on the radar. “We’re absolutely in favour of knowing who is registering companies, what their goals are and what taxes they should be paying in our country and that they’re not in any […]

Resident Evil 7 is finally out, and the hype was justified. Critics applaud the series “return to form” by bringing the game back to its roots, which is raw, psychological, survival horror. The game will put you as Ethan Winters, an ordinary husband searching for his wife in a creepy homestead in rural Louisiana. The game’s claustrophobic atmosphere, eerie lighting, hair-raising sounds, complex puzzles, and bloodthirsty enemies will […]

By Dustin Volz | WASHINGTON WASHINGTON The FBI appeared to go beyond the scope of existing legal guidance in seeking certain kinds of internet records from Twitter as recently as last year, legal experts said, citing two warrantless surveillance orders the social media company published on Friday. Twitter said its disclosures were the first time the company had been allowed to publicly reveal the secretive orders, which […]

Careful not to make the same mistake that other companies have committed amid recent hacking trends, Facebook has introduced a new security feature to protect its users from unauthorized access to their accounts. This involves a security key that serves as the second factor to the Facebook login process. The overall concept is similar to the two-factor authentication method offered by email services such as Gmail. It is […]

But in interviews with dozens of officials, analysts and ordinary citizens across Muslim-majority countries, there was overwhelming agreement that the order issued Friday signaled a provocation: a sign that the American president sees Islam itself as the problem. Continue reading the main story “I think this is going to alienate the whole Muslim world,” said Mouwafak al-Rubaie, a lawmaker and former Iraqi national security adviser in Iraq. […]

Submitted by Brandon Smith via Alt-Market.com, In my last two articles, ‘How Globalists Predict Your Behavior’ and ‘How To Predict The Behavior Of Globalists’, I explained the base fundamentals behind a concept with which most people are unfamiliar. They are so unfamiliar with it, in fact, that I didn’t bother to name it. In this article I hope to explain it, but I highly recommend people read […]

(The 19 hijackers implicated in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack came from Egypt, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. None of those countries will be subject to what Mr. Trump described as “new vetting measures.”) Continue reading the main story During the 90-day period, the Trump administration will assess if the foreign governments on the list are providing enough information about citizens seeking visas […]

Why Chittorgarh? The city, located in the windswept Mewar, in eastern Rajasthan, is steeped in the romance of Rajput history, which reverberates with tales of chivalry and tragedy. It was attacked three times by powerful enemies and each time, while the men rode out to battle, its courageous women and children chose death before dishonour, performing self-immolation. Built in the 7th century AD, Chittorgarh has the largest […]

Credit: Michael Vadon Attribution 2.0 Generic (CC BY 2.0) Now that President Trump is in the White House, there are some breathless stories going around about the technology his administration is adopting. When Barack Obama came into the White House, he was the most connected president ever, an active user of an actual BlackBerry, before that concept became so terribly quaint. At the time, I covered the […]

Cyber security helped elect Donald Trump. During the presidential campaign, hackers cracked open all of the Democrats’ secrets and splayed them out for everyone to see, while Hillary Clinton was raked over the coals for using an insecure server for her own personal email. Republicans’ communications, meanwhile, stayed out of the public eye. But success can breed hubris, and there are some worrying trends in […]

Good morning. Is it the “opposition party?” Shortly after Steve Bannon, President Trump’s strategic and cultural Svengali, called the American press the “opposition party,” the opposition calmly sat on a Chicago stage and suggested the best path forward. Their response? Reasoned and tough-minded indifference. It’s a de facto prescription that might drive the new tweeter-in-chief and his sledgehammer-wielding sycophants daffy in their search for a Jacksonian revival. […]

“Strange how in the Middle East making peace looks so similar to waging political war,” he lamented in an Op-Ed article in The New York Times in 1989. In 1986, Mr. Cohen was the catalyst for the first three clandestine sessions in Paris and Brussels between Israeli and Palestinian representatives, two from each side. Ostensibly, those talks were limited in scope to missing or captured soldiers, but […]
