Obama's Drunken Parties!
President Barack Obama is living large - at taxpayers' expense - blowing about $12 million on booze-fueled bashes since taking office two years ago, political insiders reveal. In an explosive GLOBE Special Report, outraged sources also rip the lid off the President and First Lady's taste for expensive designer clothes and lavish vacations - while average Americans struggle to survive. It's must reading!

Russia-Iran plutonium 
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin decided it was safe to go ahead and load Iran's first nuclear reactor with fuel on Aug. 21 - effectively making it active - after the US and Israel did not seem troubled by the prospect of the reactor going on stream, debkafile reports. Either the two governments had been caught flatfooted, he figured, or come to terms with Iran's capacity to produce weapons-grade plutonium.
Iran is to build 10 more uranium enrichment plants in fortified mountain caves.

Tags: Iran UAV chief killed
On Aug. 1, Reza Baruni, the father of Iran's military UAV program, died in a mighty explosion that destroyed his closely secured villa, debkafile's military and intelligence sources reveal. He lived in the high-scale neighborhood secluded for high Iranian officials in the southern town of Ahwaz in oil-rich Khuzestan.
Very few people in the country outside the top leaders and air force knew about his job and so his death was not generally appreciated as fatally stalling Iran's military drone program for many years.
The official version produced the old standby of an exploding gas canister as the cause of the blast. However, DEBKA-Net-Weekly's intelligence source report that bombs were planted in at least three corners of the building and expertly rigged to explode simultaneously and bring the ceilings crashing down on its occupants. The bomber must therefore have had access to the Baruni home.
The authorities tended to fix the blame on underground organizations representing the local Arab-speaking Ahwazis' fight for self-rule against the repressive regime. Some suspect certain Gulf Arab emirates' intelligence services commissioned the Baruni murder.
Hiding behind his public face as a retired army major, the dead man created Iran's program for manufacturing military drones from scratch and trained a new generation of engineers and planners to take over. But despite his efforts and the hefty sums Iran invested in the industry, the product never really came up to the advanced standards achieved by a very few countries.
Five months ago, US Defense Security Robert Gates told the Senate Appropriations Committee. "Countries like Iran are developing their own UAVs and already have a UAV capability. That is a concern because it is one of these areas where, if they chose to - in Iraq, in Afghanistan - they could create difficulties for us."
There is also a growing concern that drone technology could be sold to terrorist groups.
Gates was responding to a statement last February by the Iranian Air Force's coordination deputy, Brigadier General Aziz Nasirzadeh, that Iran had successfully tested the prototype of its first domestically-built "stealth drone" calling it Sofeh Mahi (Manta Ray)."
He boasted that the drone, "due to its physical attributes and the material used in its body, cannot be detected by any radar." But he also introduced a cautious note by explaining that the production process would not be rushed, as such complex systems need thorough analysis and exhaustive testing.
debkafile's sources: Reza Baruni's death will most likely put Iran's ambitious project for developing sophisticated UAVs in mothballs in the foreseeable future.

India's backyard slaughterhouse in Kashmir: The Tiger has never been so wild. The Kashmir valley hosts the biggest, bloodiest and most obscure military occupation in the world. With more than 80,000 people dead in an anti-India insurgency backed by Pakistan, the killing fields of Kashmir dwarf those of Palestine and Tibet.
In addition to the everyday régime of arbitrary arrests, curfews, raids, and checkpoints enforced by nearly 700,000 Indian soldiers, the valley's four million Muslims are exposed to extra-judicial execution, rape and torture, with variations such as live electric wires being inserted into penises.
India has contained the insurgency provoked in 1989 by its rigged elections and massacres of protestors. The hundreds of thousands of demonstrators that fill the streets of Kashmir's cities today are overwhelmingly young, many in their teens, and armed with nothing more lethal than stones. The Indian state seems determined to strangle their voices. Already in the summer of 2010, the Indian military have shot dead more than fifty protestors, most of them teenagers.
Kashmir has a well-educated Muslim population, heterodox and pluralist by tradition and temperament, and desperate for genuine democracy. On Kashmir, India appears as evasive as their Chinese peers are on Tibet. But the massive non-violent protests in Kashmir since 2008 haven't released a Tibet-style flood of worldwide sympathy. Kashmiri Muslims are bitter. The West doesn't care. The Western media neglects the story. Kashmir has turned out to be a great suppression narrative.
The choleric TV anchors, partisan journalists and opinion-mongers of India's corporate media routinely amplify the falsehoods and deceptions of Indian intelligence agencies in Kashmir. But blaming Pakistan or Islamic fundamentalists has got much harder for the Indian government, which has long denied the great extent to which Kashmiris want rid of India. The Indian media now acts in concert with the government to deny any legitimacy to protests in Kashmir. In Kashmir, the net effect is deeper anger and alienation. Kashmiris hold India's journalists as responsible as its politicians for muzzling and misinterpreting them. Liberated from political deceptions, the young men on the streets of Kashmir today seem simply to want to express their hatred of the Indian state's impersonal brutality, and to commemorate lives freshly ruined by it.
