Taliban`s Kabul Attack Kills 21, Heightens Security Concerns

The standoff between Kabul and Washington has fueled uncertainty about future stability and security in Afghanistan.

(ISLAMABAD) - The death toll from a Taliban attack on a restaurant in Afghanistan's capital has risen to 21. A suicide bomber who blew himself up and Taliban gunmen who rushed in behind him to shoot the survivors killed 13 foreigners, including U.N. employees, Americans and other Westerners.

Evening shows at 7:30pm from Tuesday-Sunday, matinee shows on Sunday at 5:00pm.

(LONDON) - If you follow Reinvestigate 911, it will probably come as no surprise that many are beginning to think the US is a semi-democracy at best, with key events like the Kennedy assassination and 911 manipulated if not instigated by criminal networks at the top of the food chain.

A new play, written by an anonymous Washington insider tackles the big question: is there a link between some of the key events of the post World War Two world.

Aitzaz: Young Boy who Tackled a Suicide Bomber

May your soul rest in eternal peace and may Pakistan see more births of the likes of you Aitzaz Hasan.

(ISLAMABAD) - ONCE in a while, a story comes along that makes you so proud to be part of the human race. Unless you are an avid reader or ardent follower of world current affairs, the name Aitzaz Hasan may not ring a bell. However, this is one name that should be written next, if not above, to that of Malala Yousafzai in the history of Pakistan.

Malala is a 16-year-old teenage Pakistani school pupil and education activist who on October 9, 2012 was shot in the head and neck in an assassination attempt by Taliban gunmen while returning home on a school bus.

Why Indeed Did the WTC Buildings Disintegrate?

Nothing doth more hurt in a state than that cunning men pass for wise. – Francis Bacon

(WASHINGTON, DC) - Disturbed about the content and quality of physicist Steven E. Jones’ 9/11 work, Drs. Morgan Reynolds and Judy Wood conducted a peer-review.

This review covers ten major issues which include demolition of WTC 7, demolitions of WTC 1&2, evidence for high-energy explosives, thermite, glowing aluminum, No Big Boeing Theory (NBB) and other issues. In the “truth movement,” it is vital that we police our own.

Obama Fans Aren`t Even Pretending That Was a Good Speech

Obama's promises not to abuse unchecked secret powers (and implied promise that none of his successors or subordinates will abuse them either) is not credible, or acceptable...

(WASHINGTON, DC) - President Barack Obama gave a eulogy for the Fourth Amendment on Friday, and not even his fans are proclaiming victory.

In this moment when Obama is actually doing one thing I agree with (talking to Iran), more and more people seem to be slowly, agonizingly slowly, finally, finally, finally, recognizing what a complete huckster he is when it comes to pretty speeches about his crimes.

Pakistani Government Shows No Sign of Taking Action Over the Federal Shariah Court`s Blasphemy Law Ruling

“We all know the blasphemy laws are being misused to settle personal scores, and this will be taken to another height and victims from religious minorities will become defenseless and more vulnerable if it becames Shariah law.” - CLAAS UK Director Nasir Saeed

Video Shows U.S. Gen. Paul E. Vallely Collaborating in Development of FSA

In selling the mercenary jihadist mission of the Free Syrian Army, Vallely and a TV program host suggest the FSA is secular, and that is the farthest thing from the truth.

(SALEM) - Video from LiveLeak shows U.S. Gen. Paul E. Vallely with the Free Syrian Army (FSA) after he entered Syrian territory by crossing the Turkish border.

Almost a year later they began killing each other. What is interesting about his words, at the end of the video, is that they are totally false. He characterizes the murderous band of jihadist mercenaries known as the FSA as if they were a serious legitimate force.
