 Make No Mistake, American Ruling Elites Love Trump
cas, Friday, Aug 24 2018, 2:29am
Hasn’t anyone noticed the elitist policies of Trump? Tax cuts to large corporations, trade wars, immigration/xenophobia, sales pitches and demands to allies to buy more American made weapons of mass destruction in order for those merchants of death to realise evermore profits and dump redundant stocks, dismissing climate change and pollution regulations in order to allow companies freedom to pollute and devastate the environment, huge tax-payer grants to the military security complex while cutting social services to the bone, and on it goes. Notice how none of which policies benefit the people but sure benefit the corporate banker sector. Trump is a dream for the powers that be. (story and 1 image)

 The American Scream
Finian Cunningham via sandy, Friday, Aug 24 2018, 12:57am
Just like when medieval executioners tortured their prisoners to scream out for "mercy", so today two former aides of US President Donald Trump are put being on the rack to extract a begging response. If they finger the president, then maybe mercy will be shown to the prisoners.

The Push to Consciousness
jay, Thursday, Aug 23 2018, 9:41pm
This earth plane is characterised by its evolving life forms ever pushing to an indistinct to many, rarefied state of pure being. The earth cares little for the species that attains its goal of harmony and clarity marked by its synchronisation to the universal flux. Today humankind just happens to be the dominant species, though it clearly has a tenuous hold on that status.

Dying for the Profit of a Few
Maj. Danny Sjursen via mitch, Tuesday, Aug 21 2018, 10:02pm
Numbness or apathy. These seem to be Americans’ go-to responses when each new overseas tragedy unfolds. Recently, it was a bus full of Yemeni children – 40 in fact – murdered by a Saudi airstrike that represented one tiny speck of catastrophe in an ongoing U.S.-backed coalition campaign. Sure, the dead kids briefly hit the screens of CNN, Fox, and MSNBC; but let’s be real: no one really cared. We were all too enthralled in the latest White House drama or too sick of politics to even click on the news. Of course, these were foreign, brown, Muslim children – and the dirty secret is they just don’t garner the attention of equally cute American, Caucasian, Christian kids who fall victim to the latest school shooting or terror attack.

Beijing’s Bid for Global Power in the Age of [Puppet] Trump
Alfred W. McCoy via cyd, Tuesday, Aug 21 2018, 5:37pm
As the second year of Donald Trump’s presidency and sixth of Xi Jinping’s draws to a close, the world seems to be witnessing one of those epochal clashes that can change the contours of global power. Just as conflicts between American President Woodrow Wilson and British Prime Minister Lloyd George produced a failed peace after World War I, competition between Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin and American President Harry Truman sparked the Cold War, and the rivalry between Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev and President John F. Kennedy brought the world to the brink of nuclear war, so the empowered presidents of the United States and China are now pursuing bold, intensely personal visions of new global orders that could potentially reshape the trajectory of the twenty-first century -- or bring it all down.

A Boy and his Dog
ned, Tuesday, Aug 21 2018, 7:00am
country boys display great affection
for their pets in this case a half-breed hound
and retriever; his instincts were strong
and every now and then he would freeze
while on walks with his master,
indicating game in the wild grasses

America: The Cost of Defeat
Chas Freeman via stacey, Tuesday, Aug 21 2018, 12:31am
Fifteen years ago on May 1, 2003, speaking in Kabul, Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld declared that, in Afghanistan, “we clearly have moved from major combat activity to a period of stability and stabilization and reconstruction activities.” Later that same day, standing on the flight deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln, President George W. Bush proclaimed that “…major combat operations in Iraq have ended. In the battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed.” He described the U.S. overthrow of the Iraqi government as “one victory in a war on terror that began on September the 11th, 2001,” adding that our “war on terror is not over, yet it is not endless.” (story and 1 image)

Beijing Notes Signs of US Decline Behind Bloated New Pentagon Budget
Elliott Gabriel via jane, Monday, Aug 20 2018, 10:56pm
BEIJING – China has expressed serious concern about the new United States military budget, which explicitly notes the U.S.’ “long-term strategic competition with China” as a top priority and raises the government’s annual investment in the military to an unprecedented $716 billion – an exponentially higher budget than that of any other defense department across the world.

Failed Australian Politics
darcy, Monday, Aug 20 2018, 8:31pm
Australia’s useless, powerless and elitist PM, Malcolm ‘Goldman Sachs’ Turnbull, has survived a leadership spill today but would soon be forced to resign his commission as there is no hope for a hopeless leader; it’s only a matter of a very short time as news polls and recent minor elections have indicated a monumental loss for the sitting government next federal election and so the knives are out for the useless figure-head leader.

Corporate Carcinogens and Pollutants are Poisoning Entire Populations
Paul Craig Roberts via jane, Friday, Aug 17 2018, 8:49pm
The manic pursuit of corporate Profit is undertaken without regard to human health, social welfare and the environment. The pathological pursuit of profit overrides every other consideration including our health/lives. The adverse effects and impact of corporate pollutants and harmful products (and byproducts) can no longer be ignored; the earth and all the life it sustains are today in extreme jeopardy, which reality affirms the toxic, chemical and social REAL costs of profit without proper regulation -- that means regulation by governments and politicians that have NOT been bought/corrupted by corporate money and work in the public interest, not in the interests of the minority, unrepresentative, private sector.

Censorship is State Denial of the Rights of Citizens to Make a Choice
Thomas L. Knapp via dan, Friday, Aug 17 2018, 5:15am
In a recent tweet, US Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) warned that “Infowars is the tip of a giant iceberg of hate and lies that uses sites like Facebook and YouTube to tear our nation apart.” His solution: “These companies must do more than take down one website. The survival of our democracy depends on it.” (story and 2 images)
