The simple fact that you actively engage in suppressing this and other alternative news sites means we have won and TRUTH will prevail in the end.

 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)

Beware America: From Boston to Ferguson to Charlottesville, The Evolution of a Police State
John W. Whitehead via glenn, Friday, Aug 17 2018, 4:49am
“It takes a remarkable force to keep nearly a million people quietly indoors for an entire day, home from work and school, from neighborhood errands and out-of-town travel. It takes a remarkable force to keep businesses closed and cars off the road, to keep playgrounds empty and porches unused across a densely populated place 125 square miles in size. This happened … not because armed officers went door-to-door, or imposed a curfew, or threatened martial law. All around the region, for 13 hours, people locked up their businesses and ‘sheltered in place’ out of a kind of collective will. The force that kept them there wasn’t external – there was virtually no active enforcement across the city of the governor's plea that people stay indoors. Rather, the pressure was an internal one – expressed as concern, or helpfulness, or in some cases, fear – felt in thousands of individual homes.”—Journalist Emily Badger, “The Psychology of a Citywide Lockdown”

Fight Those Governments that would Destroy the Internet
Rand Clifford via jan, Thursday, Aug 16 2018, 5:16am
You are now accessing what our Department of Defense (DOD) considers an "enemy weapons system". The Internet in its present form is rife with "uncontrolled information", also known as free speech, therefore directly opposing the Pentagon’s goals. The main purpose of this article is not to announce new developments, but rather, to encourage reflection on DOD "progress", and where it might land us.

Russian Collusion: It Was Hillary Clinton All Along
Editorial staff via jane, Wednesday, Aug 15 2018, 8:26pm
Smith painstakingly weaves together the evidence that's already out there but has been largely ignored by the mainstream media, which have become so seized with Trump-hatred that their reporting even on routine matters can no longer be trusted. (story and 2 images)

The ‘News’ in One Word -- Conflict
daisy, Wednesday, Aug 15 2018, 7:57pm
It matters little which sources of 'news’ one views, the one common factor is CONFLICT: adversarial politics of course, environmental groups battling corporations, abortionists fighting right to lifers and ignoring a woman’s prerogative, imagining that aborting is a walk in the park, and on it goes; however, the most threatening conflicts are those that involve nations, particularly nuclear armed superpowers, which nation’s policies are at logger-heads OR presented that way, as really there's no difference in peaceful aspirations that benefit everyone BUT there's a HUGE difference in policies that only benefit the few.
