Bush Defends Spying Program & Snowden About to be Homeless ..!!

Snowden damaged security of US: Bush
WASHINGTON: Fugitive American intelligence leaker Edward Snowden has damaged security of the country by his actions, former US President George W Bush said today. 

"I think he damaged the security of the country," Bush said on Snowden, the 30-year-old former technical contractor and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) employee who worked for Booz Allen Hamilton, a contractor for the US National Security Agency (NSA). Bush said he believes the Obama administration "will deal" with the fallout from the controversy unleashed by Snowden, who is now thought to be holed up in the transit area of a Moscow airport after fleeing there from Hong Kong. 

Snowden's disclosures about the spy programmes carried out by the NSA and other intelligence entities have shaken the US intelligence community and put the Obama administration on the defensive over accusations of government overreach into citizens' privacy and angered Western governments. But Bush, who was president from 2001 to 2009, refrained from criticising Obama, his successor.

Vladimir Putin: Edward Snowden Must Stop Harming US If He Wants To Stay In Russia

MOSCOW, July 1 (Reuters) - President Vladimir Putin said on Monday that Russia would not hand former U.S. spy agency contractor Edward Snowden over to the United States but that if Snowden wants to stay in Russia he "must stop his work aimed at harming our American partners".

Snowden "is not a Russian agent", Putin said, repeating that Russian intelligence services were not working with the fugitive American, who is believed to remain in the transit area at a Moscow airport eight days after arriving from Hong Kong.

He said Snowden should choose his final destination and go there. (Reporting by Alissa de Carbonel; Writing by Steve Gutterman; Editing by Douglas Busvine)

Women ..!!

Wendy Davis: Abortion Rights Supporters Will Not Back Down In Texas

Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) is calling a second special session of his state's legislature to pass a controversial bill limiting abortion rights in the state -- but the woman who spoiled his first go-around is not backing down.
Wendy Davis, the Democratic Texas state senator who foiled the anti-abortion rights bill SB 5 by mounting an epic 11-hour filibuster, pledged Sunday to fight on.
"For all that you have achieved in terms of your profile and your views, are you not just delaying the inevitable?" David Gregory asked Davis on "Meet the Press.""We will fight as we begin the session again on Monday," Davis responded. "I don't think that we'll concede that the battle is over. And even if this bill passes, obviously there will be other challenges to it going forward." Davis, who represents Fort Worth, also took another shot at comments from the governor, who targeted her for her own experience as a single teen mother. "My life story is something obviously that belongs to me very personally," Davis said. "I think some of the comments that he made really demean the high office that he holds.

WOMEN TRIED TO SELL HER 3 YEAR OLD ON CRAIGSLIST

A bicycle. An old jailbroken iPhone. Maybe used furniture. Some free dirt. Those are the type of things you expect to buy off Craigslist. You definitely don't expect a Mom to offer up her three-year-old son on the seedy but useful classifieds website. But that's just what Stephanie Redus did. She used Craiglist to get her son adopted by a new family.
The Craigslist ad stated:
Hi, I'm trying to adopt out my 3yr old son. I'm not in a good place in my life and don't feel like I can care for him properly but I don't know where to start. If you or know anyone who is interested in caring for him, please let me know. I'm a single mom and can't do this.
Thanks, Desperate.

Street children survive on porn & Men poking holes in condoms

Street children survive on porn, not food

In a dark and dingy room, the only thing visible is the blue flickering light from a television set as a dozen-odd boys, teens and below, watch with eyes riveted on the screen. 

"Ohs" and "ahs" are heard on occasion. At first it seems they are watching a Hindi film, but a closer look reveals they are hooked on to a porn movie.

The boys are runaways or vagabonds who beg at many of Delhi's crossroads or are rag-pickers.
According to child activists and NGOs working with these children, most of them are hooked to either porn movies or video games and spend most of their earnings on them, on occasions forgetting to eat.

                                                And Here Is Why ...................

Men poking holes in condoms to get women pregnant

The sex trend is being called "reproductive coercion" by the doctors and new research suggests that it is not just young women involved in abusive relationships who are at risk as previously believe
ebecca Levenson of Futures Without Violence, which helps educate doctors about the unique form of abuse said that women have come to tell her that their partner took their IUD out or took her money so she is unable to buy birth control pills, the New York Daily News reported.
