PART 1

(MYRTLE BEACH, SC) - The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is making an attempt at requiring pharmaceutical companies to be held accountable for the weak package labels on painkillers warning of the dangers of addiction and death by issuing a directive that they think addresses the opioid epidemic.

Truth of US-Russia Confrontation

Aggression was over the Moment those Two Missiles were Fired.

(DAMASCUS) - A well informed diplomatic source told As-Safir newspaper that...

“The US war on Syria had started and ended the moment those two ballistic missiles were fired, leaving inconsistent information, as Israel denied and Russia confirmed, until an Israeli statement was issued indicating they were fired in the context of an Israeli-US joint drill and fell in the sea, and that they were not related to the Syrian crisis.”

It has been revealed that the CIA was actively smuggling weapons to Syrian rebels as the attack on the Benghazi Embassy was waged.

(OZARK, MO) - Most Americans had never even heard of Bashar al-Assad, Syria's President, until Obama started ranting about chemical weapons.

The Syrian rebels are far from rational, they are a sect of Islam that does not seek peace, nor do they accept a secular government like Assad's where Christians and Muslims and Jews lived peacefully together.

Burma Campaign: Running the Cardiff Half-Marathon

I am running to raise funds to ensure that their struggle is supported and that the freedoms we take for granted are given to them too.

(LONDON) - In the 2 years since President Thein Sein came to power over 300,000 people have been forced from their homes.

The Burmese Army continues to rape women and kill children while sanctions are relaxed and our government follows a policy of appeasement, putting business first and showing a blatant disregard for human rights.
