Greece Given Two Year Extension

Officials from the European Union and International Money Fund could not come to an agreement, Monday, on what to do about Greece's economic troubles.

The only thing they managed to accomplish was giving the beleaguered country until 2016, from 2014, to get their debt under control.

That may or may not help, as no one can seem to find a way to keep Greece going until then.

No agreement could be made how to pay for the extra two years, or when Greece would be given the remaining ninety billion euros worth of loan, already promised.

Initially, the bailout was to help the Greek economy recover by 2020, but it has become abundantly clear that they simply won't be able to hit that mark.

Argument, between the lending nations, includes when the magic year of Greek recovery could happen by, with many hopeful for 2022.

Fears are that the billions of euros, already loaned to Greece, have been completely wasted.

Others fear that the Greek government will fall, due to it's imposition of extremely unpopular cuts demanded by the loaners.

For some the worry is not just that Greece will go under, but that it will drag other members of the EU, if not all, down with it.

The lending nations will resume discussion on November 20.

Iran Shows Off New Missile Systems

Iran has spent the first couple days of their Velayat 4 war games showing off new missile systems.

In an effort to show their invulnerability to sanctions, they claim that every component of each of the systems is built completely in Iran.

They also tested out a new artillery system, which they claim has stealth ability that no enemy could pick up.

Some experts point out that Iran often exaggerates their claims of what their military hardware is capable of, and that while their infrastructure has greatly improved, there's no way they are capable of building everything on their own, yet.

Syria Continues Bombing Ras al-Ain

Syrian aircraft struck the town of Ras al-Ain, for a second day, despite Turkey's warning them not to.

The government's forces are trying to scare the rebels out of the town, so that they can retake it.

It's Turkish counterpart Ceylanpinar, just feet across the border, was shaken by the bombs.

Turkey is trying to avoid joining the conflict, but continues to state it's readiness to do so, if the Assad regime continues to push it.

With the Syrian opposition finally showing a united front, calls for a no fly zone have only risen.

Turkey is pushing NATO to place Patriot missiles along it's border, for defense, but it would be an easy step to go from defense to enforcement, of a no fly zone.

Golden Dawn, The Scary Side of Greece

Greece has become a bleak place. Socialist policies have wrecked the economy there and caused massive unemployment. Violence between protesters and police is all too common.

Now one political party is clearing gaining more and more ground. From having a few dozen supporters, just a few years ago, their rallies now bring in thousands. Depending on the poll you read, national support is somewhere between fourteen and thirty percent. And that support is only growing, as they become the third largest party in the country.

Begun in 1993, this party is known for it's violence, especially towards immigrants, and many Greeks support them because of that. They dress in black, shouting "Greece is for Greeks" and "Blood! Honor! Golden Dawn!" The party brags about being a military organization, in structure. Many have compared them to the German Nazi party, before the fall of the Weimar Republic.

A lot of Greeks see them as the only party which is for the rights of the Greek people, as they see all other parties as having sold them out. When the party is caught doing something violent, in public, they've seen their support not dwindle, but rise. And it's becoming worse, as police seem to be beginning to side with the Golden Dawn.

Immigration is a huge problem for Greece, with illegals pouring into the destitute country. The Golden Dawn's response, is of course violence against them. Groups of armed thugs have been known to go around, beating any immigrants they find. Party leaders have even gone so far as to call anyone, who isn't of Greek heritage, "subhuman". Another leader said, "Golden Dawn's target is simple. We want the absolute majority in parliament so we can replace the constitution with our own. It will then be easy to immediately arrest and deport all illegal immigrants."

The rise of this party, which has over thirty offices in Greece, should not just be scaring Greeks, but the world as well. History has shown us what happens when people with ideologies similar to this, gain power. And this group is spreading. During 2012, they opened offices in Cyprus and New York City.

Man Steals Delivery Car, Continues Deliveries

Forty-five year old Keith Hinds is under arrest in Connecticut.

Charges against him are drug possession and larceny.

Hinds stole a Chinese food delivery driver's car, and then continued to make the rest of the deliveries.

He finished the rounds so that he could pocket the cash from the deliveries.

The delivery driver had made the mistake of leaving the car running while he made one of his stops.

Police are using this as a reminder of how important it is to never leave your car running and unattended.

Downtown Denver Shut Down for Man Hunt

A section of downtown Denver was shut down, during Monday, while police performed a man hunt.

It all started when Aurora police were called to the scene of a domestic abuse case.

They quickly realized the man that they were looking for had two outstanding felony warrants in Centennial.

Information led them to believe he had hopped a bus to downtown, and the search began.

During their search, a man with an ankle bracelet ran from police, causing them to lock down the building he hid in.

They eventually found him, hiding in the ceiling of 110 16th St, but discovered he wasn't who they were looking for.

It is unclear why he ran from police, but he is being held on multiple charges.

Monday afternoon, the man police were originally looking for, turned himself in to Aurora police, allowing for the search of downtown Denver to be stopped.

Gazan Rockets Continue to Strike Southern Israel

Rockets from Gaza continue to rain down on Southern Israel. Over one hundred and twenty rockets have been fired since Saturday, by Hamas and other terrorist groups.

Some homes and businesses have received minor damages from the projectiles and explosions, while one factory took a direct strike. Luckily, no one has been injured or killed.

Part of that is thanks to the warning systems, including text alerts, that the Israeli government has in place. The Iron Dome Defense Shield has also been able to eliminate several rockets, that were headed for populated areas.

Israeli Defense Forces have fired counter strikes, at launch sites, and weapon depots, killing at least six Gazans.

Hamas called other factions together, for a discussion on how to keep from having anymore casualties on their side of the border. They did not hold not firing any more rockets, as an option.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a meeting with foreign ambassadors, within rocket range in Ashkelon, at an unprotected auditorium to drive in the fact of how vulnerable Israel is. With a collection of rockets, that had been fired at Israel, to his side he told the ambassadors that they had thirty seconds to find cover, if an alarm sounded.

Netanyahu told them, "This is the situation in which one million Israelis find themselves. That's families, old people, children, babies. I don't know of any of the citizens of your cities, who could find that acceptable and something that could proceed on a normal basis. Any fair minded person in any fair minded government in the world would understand that it’s our right to defend our people, and this is what we shall do."

The Israeli government is considering options, which include using ground troops, to put a stop to the rocket barrage. They've been forced to go that route before, but are doing everything they can to avoid doing so again.

Syria and Israel Exchange Fire for Second Day

Israeli tanks have responded to fire coming across the border from Syria.

On Monday, artillery fire, from Syria, crossed into the Golan Heights, of Israel.

Tanks quickly responded to the fire, striking "direct hits" on the Syrian unit.

Syrian forces quickly radioed asking the Israelis to cease fire.

It is not clear if the Israeli fire caused any injuries amongst the Syrians.

This comes just a day after Israel fired a warning, into Syria, after mortars crossed over the border, hitting Israeli territory.
