Sharply increased attacks on U.S. and other NATO personnel by Afghan security forces, reflecting both infiltration of and Taliban influence on those forces, appear to have outflanked the U.S.-NATO command’s strategy for maintaining control of the insurgency. - The Taliban-instigated “insider attacks”, which have already killed 51 NATO troops in 2012 – already 45 percent more than in all of 2011 – have created such distrust of the Afghan National Army (ANA) and national police that the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) command has suspended joint operations by NATO forces with Afghan security units smaller than the 800-strong battalion of Kandak and vowed to limit them in the future.

The two US police officers who pepper-sprayed a row of peaceful seated Occupy Wall Street protesters at the University of California, Davis campus last year will go unpunished.

On Wednesday, the local attorney and prosecutors told the media outlets that the officers, who dosed a number of anti-Capitalism students and alumni with pepper spray to disperse the peaceful gathering in November 2011, will not face any possible criminal charges. According to the office of the Yolo County District, the decision was taken due to “insufficient evidence” to prove the illegality of pepper spraying the protesting students. In April, a task force appointed by the university concluded that the use of pepper spray by the police forces against the students was “unreasonable” and “could have been prevented.” However, the November incident led to the suspension of the campus police chief and two other officers who had directly been involved in dosing the protesters with pepper spray. At the time, the university’s chancellor, Linda P.B. Katehi, confirmed that the decision to place the police chief on administrative leave was taken to calm down the outrage at the campus community. The heavy-handed crackdown of the anti-Capitalism Occupy Wall Street movement by police and security forces has drawn widespread condemnations in the American society.

Hard-pressed workers struggling to hang on to jobs and pay their bills will be relieved to learn that the America’s billionaires are not suffering due to the ongoing economic disaster. In fact they have never had it so good. Every year Forbes magazine publishes a list of the wealthiest individuals in the United States. This year’s annual survey gives a stark snapshot of the obscene levels of wealth inequality in the US. The net wealth of the Forbes 400 has now more than recovered from the drop it suffered during the 2008 financial crisis to reach a new record high even as the living standards continue to decline for the mass of working people. The net worth of the richest 400 billionaires in the United States rose 13 percent from last year to $1.7 trillion. This compares to a 1.7 percent annual growth rate for the US economy as a whole.

Eating genetically modified corn (GM corn) and consuming trace levels of Monsanto's Roundup chemical fertilizer caused rats to develop horrifying tumors, widespread organ damage, and premature death. That's the conclusion of a shocking new study that looked at the long-term effects of consuming Monsanto's genetically modified corn. The study has been deemed "the most thorough research ever published into the health effects of GM food crops and the herbicide Roundup on rats." News of the horrifying findings is spreading like wildfire across the internet, with even the mainstream media seemingly in shock over the photos of rats with multiple grotesque tumors... tumors so large the rats even had difficulty breathing in some cases. GMOs may be the new thalidomide. "Monsanto Roundup weedkiller and GM maize implicated in 'shocking' new cancer study" wrote The Grocery, a popular UK publication. It reported, "Scientists found that rats exposed to even the smallest amounts, developed mammary tumors and severe liver and kidney damage as early as four months in males, and seven months for females." The Daily Mail reported, "Fresh row over GM foods as French study claims rats fed the controversial crops suffered tumors."

A spate of hate crimes against Christian places of worship in Israel has prompted usually reticent Roman Catholic officials to speak out, hoping that intervention by authorities might bring an end to the vandalism. - ­In the early hours of September 4, vandals set fire to the door of a renowned Trappist monastery in Latrun (outside Jerusalem) and defaced it with anti-Christian graffiti, stating “Jesus is a monkey”. In the two weeks which have elapsed since the act of desecration, no arrests have been made, despite police vows that the culprits would be brought to justice. Similar incidences of vandalism also occurred in the months preceding this attack. The Rev. Pierbattista Pizzaballa, one of the church's top officials in the Holy Land, expressed deep concern over the state of relations between Jews and Christians.
