People are paying $300,000 for this pet fish — here's why Ruth Umoh 1 hr ago © Provided by CNBC Yachts, jets and mansions are the usual signs of extreme wealth. But for the Asian elite, a rare exotic fish has become a coveted status symbol and all-around obsession. Prized for its glimmering scales and sinuous body, the Asian arowana is one of the world's most expensive aquatic creatures, with some rumored to fetch up to $300,000. While not all are priced in the six figures, a young arowana in Singapore could go for $300, while rare adult white albinos could cost $70,000 or more. Arowana, also known as "dragon fish," are not the typical pet fish. They are ...

TEHRAN (FNA)- The Iranian foreign ministry blasted Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir for his anti-Iran remarks at the UN General Assembly, stressing that all the world states are aware of Riyadh's sponsorship of different terrorist groups. "Undoubtedly, Saudi Arabia is the most infamous supporter of terrorism in the world, and the root cause and origin of terrorism which has entangled the entire world, specially, the Middle-East, is nowhere but in Saudi Arabia and the extremist thoughts that the regime promotes and supports financially," Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said on Saturday. He lashed out at al-Jubeir for misusing the UN tribune to raise ...

Extraordinary and Deliberate Lies from the Guardian About Russian Plot to Extract Julian Assange
Post Date: 2018-09-29 09:31:27 by Ada

Russia watchers know that the Guardian is a cesspool of vicious misinformation about Russia, apparently completely corrupted by some noxious combination of British Intel and globalist Russian delusion disorder. Sadly, many Britons still trust this discredited rag. I am just back from a family funeral – one of a succession – and a combination of circumstances had left me feeling pretty down lately, and not blogging much. But I have to drag myself to the keyboard to denounce a quite extraordinary set of deliberate lies published in the Guardian about a Russian plot to spring Julian Assange last December. I was closely involved with Julian and with Fidel Narvaez of the Ecuadorean ...

This was hell week in New York City. Traffic was paralyzed from one end of the narrow island to the other as bigwigs and their entourages flocked to the city for the fall opening of the United Nations. Making matters worse, President Donald Trump chose the occasion to lambaste nations he does not like in a crude display of boorishness not seen since Soviet boss Nikita Khrushchev banged his shoe on his desk at the General Assembly back in 1960. Trump reserved special venom for his pet bêtes noirs, Iran and China. His jeremiad against Iran was reportedly written by senior aide Stephen Miller, a rabidly anti-Muslim extremist who speaks with the voice of Israel’s expansionist far ...

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Dutch police have arrested seven men who are suspected of plotting a large-scale extremist attack in the Netherlands that prosecutors say they think has been foiled. The national prosecutor's office said in a statement Thursday that the men were arrested by heavily armed police in the towns of Arnhem and Weert. The statement says the arrests capped a months-long investigation that was launched by intelligence suggesting the alleged ring leader, a 34-year-old man of Iraqi heritage, wanted to carry out a major ...
The Bosnian Pyramid Complex: Larger, Older & More Mysterious Than Pyramids In Egypt

If the Bosnian pyramid of the sun is genuine, and there is very little doubt in my mind that it isn’t, then we are confronted with the highest structure in the world, and also the tallest pyramid in the world – Phillip Copens, author and pyramid expert. A few years ago, a discovery in Bosnia made headlines (2005) when it was announced that the world’s largest pyramid had been found near the town of Visoko, northwest of the Bosnian city of Sarajevo. What’s very interesting about pyramids is that they’re not only found in Egypt but are spread out throughout the world, supposedly built by civilizations that had absolutely no contact with each other and roamed the ...

Assange remains isolated in the Ecuadorian embassy. Icelandic investigative journalist and former WikiLeaks spokesperson Kristinn Hrafnsson is set to become the whistleblowing organization’s new editor-in-chief, replacing isolated founder Julian Assange in the role. The announcement was made late Wednesday in a statement issued through the WikiLeaks’ official Twitter account. The statement cites the “extraordinary circumstances” of WikiLeaks’ founder and former editor-in-chief Julian Assange’s “arbitrary detention” as a reason for the move. Assange has been isolated for six months inside the Ecuadorian embassy in London, where he has resided ...
In Yemen and Beyond, US Arms Manufacturers Are Abetting Crimes Against Humanity

The Saudi bombing of a school bus in Yemen on August 9, 2018 killed 44 children and wounded many more. The attack struck a nerve in the U.S., confronting the American public with the wanton brutality of the Saudi-led war on Yemen. When CNN revealed that the bomb used in the airstrike was made by US weapons manufacturer Lockheed Martin, the horror of the atrocity hit even closer to home for many Americans. But the killing and maiming of civilians with U.S.-made weapons in war zones around the world is an all too regular occurrence. US forces are directly responsible for largely uncounted civilian casualties in all America’s wars, and the United States is also the world’s leading ...

Russia has conducted a dramatic and what appears to be successful test of new anti-ship missiles by blowing up a fleet of warships in a training exercise. Footage released by Russia’s defense ministry demonstrated the capabilities of the Kh-35U anti-ship missiles, which the military vaunts as a ship killer immune from enemy defense mechanisms. Russia’s Ministry of Defense announced this week: “Su-34 multifunctional fighter-bombers carried out practical launches of the newest guided anti- ship missiles Kh-35U." “All in all eight launches were carried out, all missiles successfully hit targets,” the statement added.

The US currently maintains the largest stockpile of both chemical and biological warfare agents of any nation on the planet, and continues to expand its biological weapons research and development on a scale far larger than any other country. The world is once again witnessing the height of U.S. hypocrisy as members of the U.S. State Department ratchet up anti-Russian and anti-Syrian rhetoric surrounding the use of chemical weapons in Syria and the UK. Ambassador Nikki Haley has warned Syria, Iran and Russia that they will be held accountable for their pre-determined use of chemical weapons in Idlib on innocent civilians. No evidence was provided to support her threats. The United States ...

Creating “a defensible banking architecture” is the end goal for the Europeans, China and Russia. In a stunning vote of “no confidence” in the US monopoly over global payment infrastructure, one month ago Germany’s foreign minister Heiko Maas called for the creation of a new payments system independent of the US that would allow Brussels to be independent in its financial operations from Washington and as a means of rescuing the nuclear deal between Iran and the west. Writing in the German daily Handelsblatt, Maas said “Europe should not allow the US to act over our heads and at our expense. For that reason it’s essential that we strengthen European ...

Arctic Cauldron Across the Arctic, lakes are leaking dangerous greenhouse gases. And one lake is behaving very strangely.

Katey Walter Anthony has studied some 300 lakes across the tundras of the Arctic. But sitting on the mucky shore of her latest discovery, the Arctic expert said she’d never seen a lake like this one. Set against the austere peaks of the Western Brooks Range, the lake, about 20 football fields in size, looked as if it was boiling. Its waters hissed, bubbled and popped as a powerful greenhouse gas escaped from the lake bed. Some bubbles grew as big as grapefruits, visibly lifting the water’s surface several inches and carrying up bits of mud from below. This was methane. As the permafrost thaws across the fast-warming Arctic, it releases carbon dioxide, the top planet-warming ...
