BAGHDAD — A suicide bomber blew himself up next to a large group of Shiites on a pilgrimage Thursday afternoon, one in a series of apparently sectarian attacks that resulted in the highest one-day death toll since U.S. troops withdrew from Iraq last month.
Meanwhile
The 1% and Israel. PM Netanyahu is in serious political trouble. The 1% is always looking for more profits. So the Zionists in Congress, like Sen. Carl Levin and his NDAA, decided to help Netanyahu out politically while simultaneously lining the pockets of Big oil. How? By threatening Iran with additional sanctions and war. Doing that scares the crap out of the average Israeli who then rallies to Netanyahu’s side. It also makes the oil markets jittery which drives the price for oil up. Since October the price of oil has increased by 25%. From $80 dollars per barrel to $120 dollars a barrel. All pure profit for Big oil. Ain’t capitalism and free market cartels grand?!
