“Surely, it would have been important to absolutely stop all military actions long ago, and the conference is designed precisely to stop this bloodshed and address issues concerning the settlement of the crisis through peace negotiations,” Bogdanov told journalists on Tuesday.
The Syrian Free Army, which has declared its disagreement with stopping the hostilities, should be influenced by “international or regional parties that wield influence,” he said.
“There is always the question: what is the reasonable alternative? I don’t know how much the Syrian Free Army is consolidated in terms of some approaches, perhaps there are different views on the situation there. They should be asked what reasonable alternative they have,” he said.
“We hear from absolutely all of our counterparts that everyone has come to a final decision: there is no military solution to the crisis, and a solution can only be political. If someone believes this general conclusion goes against their view, let them say what reasonable way they see,” he said.

Exemptions, Navigators and New Members
Big Labor’s payback from Obamacare
Nov. 18, 2013
http://www.michigancapitolconfidential.com/19335
According to Kaiser, “buried in rules issued last week is the disclosure that
the administration will propose exempting ‘certain self-insured, self-administered plans’ from the law’s temporary reinsurance fee in 2015 and 2016.”
What are these “self-insured, self-administered plans?” Many are union health care plans, of course.
The reinsurance plan is a $10 billion system designed to redistribute money from health plans with enough healthy beneficiaries to plans that will struggle due to Obamacare’s mandates.
Health plans are charged $63 per enrollee every year to fund the program.
Despite calling Obamacare “highly disruptive,” however, the resolution still noted the AFL-CIO’s support for the health care law.
In other words, the AFL-CIO loves the law as long as everyone else has to do the heavy lifting and they are exempt from the costs.

Colorado business groups want “urgent action” on immigration reform
Updated: 11/27/2013
http://www.brushnewstribune.com/ci_24611366/colorado-business-groups-want-urgent-action-immigration-reform
“We are tired of talking. This needs to be fixed,” said Cathy Garcia, executive director of Action 22, a coalition of individuals, businesses, cities and counties in southern Colorado.
Garcia joined
Cathy Shull, executive director of Progressive 15, which represents northeast Colorado;
Bonnie Peterson, executive director of the Western Colorado Club 20 organization; and
John Brackney, CEO of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce,
on Tuesday in a conference call to underline the wide bipartisan support across the state for passage of immigration reform before the end of the current legislative session.
They are also urging small-business people, those in the construction industry, and farmers and ranchers from around the state to speak up about the urgent need for action.
The leaders said that the current “broken system” is hurting the agriculture and tourism industries the most.
They said if the issue was being considered in light of its impact on the economy and on the lives of human beings, it would probably pass easily with the broad support reform now has.
But politics are getting in the way.

Turkey, Iran call for ceasefire in Syria before Geneva talk
Published November 27th, 2013
http://www.albawaba.com/news/turkey-iran-ceasefire-geneva-536768
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif
his Turkish counterpart Ahmet Davutoglu
All our efforts should be carried out to finish the conflict and reach a ceasefire even before Geneva 2,” Zarif said.
“Iran and Turkey have similar standpoints on several issues, including that there is no military solution to the Syrian crisis,” he added.
Davutoglu also voiced support for efforts aimed at reaching a ceasefire in Syria.
“We should not wait until these two months (and let) the Syrian people suffer a worse situation.
Even before Geneva 2, the ground should be prepared for reaching a ceasefire which will lead to success at Geneva 2,” AFP quoted him as saying.
Iran is a key ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s embattled regime, while Turkey has strongly backed the rebels seeking to overthrow him.
The conference, sponsored by Russia and the United States, is scheduled to be held in the Swiss city on Jan. 22, but its participants are still undecided.

November 24, 2013 … COMET ISON UPDATE …
this past week on a number of radio show interviews including John Moore and the Coast to Coast AM show i announced that
comet ISON had dropped into a lower orbit
(due to the tail drag as predicted by my Plasma Discharge Comet Model)
and WALLLAAA [VOILÀ]
today NASA confirmed it by changing the ephemeris to 400,000 year orbit from and open orbit
(basically infinite orbit since ISON had never been here before) …
YOU ARE IN THE PROCESS OF SEEING MY PLASMA DISCHARGE COMET MODEL AT WORK AT EVERY PASSING DAY AS ISON PROGRESSES …
it is in the process of being “captured” and becoming a permanent member of our solar system like Hale Bopp dropped from a 4200 year orbit to a 2600 year orbit in just one passage
(but Hale Bopp was here once before about 4200 years ago) …
comet ISON had a tail separation event (common for comets moving fast relative to the solar wind) …
i will discuss the physics of this in my upcoming radio show along with the many other effects we are seeing …
the internet is wild with all kinds of “updates from newbeees and wannnabees all trying now to give “electrical analysis of comets” …
but i do not explain after the fact …
my plasma discharge comet model predicts everything you are seeing and more that you cannot see
but for which the NASA 60 instruments trained on ISON are taking …
the next few days will be interesting for sure keep tuned …

on ISON … the following sent from an astute listener …
listener text and three photos as they came in an email …
Hi Jim,
ISON has developed what everybody through time has observed as seeing wings form/unfold out of a comet.
The ancients have transmitted this even through stories.
One of the better known one, as you well know, is of the mythological Phoenix that is born out of fire
(or from the Sun as this event was only visible when the comet in question was near the Sun)
and comes reeks havoc [wreak havoc]
and destroys all life on whatever planet it passes near too, and thus allowed for life to begin again or regenerate.
Take a look at this very recent photo of ISON and compare it to typical illustrations of the legendary Phoenix with its body aflame and a long fiery tail, which the last you think would represent the comet’s very long tail.
Now tell me that those pics don’t strongly resemble each other!
When ISON gets at its closest to us in January I hope we get to witness this event with our naked eyes.
In my opinion, ISON will still remain a harmless comet and will not directly affect Earth.
But it’s strange to know that when ISON is at its closet to Earth that Mercury, the Sun, Earth, Venus and Jupiter will be in an alignment.
This event alone will probably cause serious weather anomalies around the planet
(ie: massive out of season hurricane/typhoons and tornadoes, and possibly one or two large scale earth quakes)
But I don’t see the world splitting in half or anything this crazy like some others are saying.
Earth will be smack in the middle of this alignment and if ISON is in the mood to discharge itself onto Earth at this point then who knows how the weather will behave like.
+++
the diagram at the left is from my copyrighted 1970’s paper predicting the shapes of comets based on my Plasma Discharge Comet Model and which i discussed the physics on my november 21 radio show …
[link]
compare to the winged ISON (especially drawing (b) to left) …
the comet shape is based on many factors
see my book Planet X Comets and Earth Changes appendices for these and some of the equations used to determined these shapes …
compare to ISON and the PHOENIX drawings or to more ancient phoenix drawings (from up out of the ashes rises the phoenix) …
note that it is a natural effect of the equations for the comet to get smaller and more compact as it approaches the sun …
read my books for details and i will be discussing this on my upcoming radio show …

“pressuring their patron states”
November 27, 2013 at 6:21 pm |
http://www.channelstv.com/home/2013/11/27/syrian-government-and-opposition-to-hold-peace-talks/
A statement, issued by the foreign ministry via the SANA news agency on Wednesday, said a delegation would attend the planned Geneva II talks in January.
It said that Assad would not “surrender power”.
“The age of colonialism, with the installation and toppling of governments, is over.
They must wake from their dreams,” the statement said.
“If they insist on these delusions, there is no need for them to attend Geneva II.”
“The official Syrian delegation is not going to Geneva to surrender power,” the statement read.
The government delegation would convey
“the wishes of the Syrian people, foremost among them the elimination of terrorism,”
it said referring to rebels fighting Assad’s regime.
The Geneva II talks, being pushed by the UN, aims to create a transitional government to end the civil war.

Sergey Lavrov urges for holding Geneva-2 talks without pre-conditions
27 November 2013
http://www.focus-fen.net/index.php?id=n319654
Waiting for all preliminary conditions to be met for holding the peace conference on Syria
Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Lavrov
“There will never be perfect conditions and these ones who say that we must wait for military balance, until no other support from the outside for any country, or until fixed date for the resignation of the Syrian President Bashar Assad
– all these is done with improper goals, aiming at hampering the conference,” Lavrov said.

If you notice Lincoln did not just thank the air, either. He thanked the God he knew would finally lead the country through its great conflict.
Besides all the other health benefits of giving thanks, perhaps the one Lincoln put his finger on is even greater. Thankfulness, when it is rooted in someone greater than ourselves give us hope greater than our circumstances.
So, what am I thankful for?
I don’t have a whole 28 days yet, but here’s a start:
My dog, who is ready to play no matter how I feel (cat-lovers eat your hearts out!)
My family, which provides unconditional love.
My church family, who walks with me on the adventure of loving our part of Winter Park.
Jesus Christ, who gave me a new life.
An interesting and challenging job.
What’s in your thanker?

“Unfortunately, the divided opposition has still not been able to unite and form a delegation.
Every day, we hear the opposition’s voices: some don’t want to participate, and others are setting conditions,” Haddad said.
“There are several reasons for that, because every opposition wing has its master:
for some it’s Qatar, for others it’s Saudi Arabia, and for some it’s France,” the ambassador said, adding that
these opposition groups “cannot do anything without a dictator” of the countries that support them.
The high-ranking diplomat reiterated that the Syrian government, for its part, is ready to take part in the conference without any preconditions.

“crazed neocon Jennifer Rubin”
http://www.economicpolicyjournal.com/2013/11/what-will-rand-paul-do.html
[Seriously, folks.]
You can be pro-Israel and not be anti-Iran, as many Israelis in Israel are.
Incorrectly, Rubin considers the neocon view to be the only pro-Israel view.
But this is the neocon view here in the US.
It will be fun to watch how Rand attempts to tap dance his position.
He does not appear to be as concerned about neocon views as much as he is evangelical views.
His pollsters are certainly telling him that the neocons are an insignificant voting block (Though Rand seems to ignore their influence with MSM.)
Once his pollsters tell him how the evangelicals view the Obama-Iran deal Rand will be out with his view, hedging in the direction of the evangelicals.
[I seriously doubt “the evangelical view” will sway Rand Paul one way or the other. My guess is Rand Paul sees this deal the same way most Americans do. He’s not a warmonger. Rubio and Cruz (perhaps other contenders) jumped the gun. Reactionaries. Perhaps there’s some wiggle room between these “crazed neocons” and Obama-Kerry.

Gowdy pointed towards the Supreme Court’s 2012 decision in Hosanna-Tabor v. EEOC, in which the court unanimously ruled that the First Amendment’s protection of free exercise prohibits the government from applying anti-discrimination laws to the selection of religious leaders.
“It was nine to nothing in a religious liberty case,” Gowdy said. “The president knows he’s not going to win this case.”

NASA HIDING COMET ISON DATA …
the criminal activity at NASA continues unabated …
the SOHO data is a good 12 hours behind on comet ISON giving them time to doctor the data as we head into these most critical hours as ISON approaches the sun …
remember they also have over 60 instruments trained on ISON and NONE of this data comes to us …
while the so called “volunteer” outreach programs staffed by what i call “junior achievers” like kark battems of the naval observatory and casey lisse of Goddard post out of focus out of date pictures from amateur back yard astronomers …
in an attempt to placate the public …
criminal behavior all meant to deceive the public …
in a court of law one is sworn to tell the truth THE WHOLE TRUTH and nothing but the truth …
in the world of NASA and standard tier II fairy tale science they tell lies and certainly no part of the WHOLE TRUTH and everything but the truth …
once again NASA hiding data to protect their holy grail theories …
listen to my radio show this evening as i discuss the physics of comets …
especially this past week’s activities of comet ISON …

Comet ISON sweeps near sun, shows signs of life
Hold the obituary
+++
November 28, 2013 … 9 PM CDT … !!!!!!!!!!!!!
comet ISON made it through the solar dive and is alive and completely well on the outbound leg of its capture journey becoming a permanent member of our solar system …
the standard scientific agenda was continually to state it was breaking apart and IT NEVER DID …
even as it made its dive into the solar atmosphere they claimed it had disintegrated but it emerged completely intact and developed a full comet tail within minutes …
NASA continues to stall releasing the SOHO data which had the best view and is at least 6 hours behind on releasing this critical data …
the video clearly shows the comet coma shrinking exactly as predicted by my Plasma Discharge Comet Model …
you can see this clearly … jim mccanney

the STEREO and SOHO outputs being released to the public are of such low quality that they are basically useless for real scientific value …
do you think this is what the tier I scientists see ???
a property of comets based on my Plasma Discharge Comet Model is that comets exhibit the heavy metals in their tails as they pull in atoms near the sun …
NASA has taken this data and is hiding it …
with over 60 instruments taking data of this comet … NOTHING …
NOT A SINGLE SHRED of this data is available to the public …
just out of focus GIANT PIXEL pics from equipment that has extreme high resolution …

National Coalition may send several delegations to Moscow talks – diplomat
“The National Coalition may send not only one delegation, because
there is an invitation to Ahmad Jarba as the coalition leader, and
there is an invitation to National Coalition Secretary-General Badr Jamous, with whom we met in Istanbul, and
perhaps National Coalition representatives at the working level
may come as well,”
Bogdanov told journalists on Friday.
Bogdanov also said that tt is in the interests of the Syrian National Coalition to come to Moscow to have contacts with the Russian authorities prior to December 20,
when another trilateral Russia-US-UN meeting on the preparations of the international conference on Syria will be held in Geneva.
“I think that this [the arrival of the National Coalition representatives to Moscow] could happen very soon because, as you know, a new and possibly last meeting is scheduled in Geneva on December 20.
I suppose that it is in the interests of our companions, including from the National Coalition, to arrive as quickly as possible,”
Bogdanov told reporters on Friday.
When asked by Interfax whether the arrival of National Coalition representatives was planned prior to December 20, Bogdanov said yes.

WHAT HAPPENED
The comet smashed into the blaze of the sun on Thanksgiving Day, a ride that astronomers roundly expected to be its last, and very nearly was.
But some material evidently made its way through, NASA reported Friday.
What’s left is likely to be pretty faint. But ISON still has a tail, and the comet has been one surprise after another for astronomers.
No one is sure what to expect now.

November 29, 2013 … my fans and listeners are seeing first hand how absolutely absurd standard science and astronomy are …
the tier III outreach junior achievers like karl battams of the naval observatory or carey lisse of the Goddard space flight center or
the text book repeater blogger phil plaite that represent the holy grail of NASA and their fairy tale science
should be wondering why they are pushed out to defend the holy grail when the big honchos big name astronomers are hunkered down no where in sight …
the SOHO cameras were down for over 12 hours while they photo shopped the results for public consumption and the best explanation we got out of anyone was
“we have no clue why comet ISON is doing what it is doing” …
if you have been following my work and predictions you will see that not only do i explain everything you are seeing (and more)
but i had this all in writing LONG before comet ison every went through its recent gyrations as a sun diving comet … jim mccanney
November 30, 2013 …
it is now clear the NASA was busy photoshopping the SOHO pics that clearly would have shown comet ISON interacting with the sun
as the sun began belching out some serious CMEs after the passage by the sun …
the SOHO data was delayed from release for over 12 hours before NASA put it on the SOHO web page …
notice that the high resolution photos of SOHO are no longer available as with the high res results of STEREO …
do you think the crap photos that they are posting on the NASA web pages are the best those cameras have ???
