 China’s Australian Coal Ban
Binoy Kampmark via gus, Saturday, Feb 23 2019, 6:11pm
Indeed, the 'hole-in-ground,' resource limited Australian economy is proving, as it should, the gross incompetence of the DUNCE Australian government that imagined that non-diversification would not make the nation economically vulnerable. The 'she'll be right mate' attitude of incompetent government has recently been challenged by China that is issuing a not so subtle hint to the dunce Australian conservative government to cease its absurd kowtowing to Washington's anti-China political policies, and that such servile obsequiousness has a price. After all America is barely able to manage its own military interventionist resource theft based economy which precludes assisting Australia by increasing Australian resource imports. And so a price will be exacted by China on knee-walking (to Washington), custard faced, incompetent, servile Australian politicians and their bereft of real diversified sovereign policies aimed at the benefit of the Australian nation/people as opposed to serving Washington's insane, counter-productive militaristic policies.

‘Indispensable Nation’ No More
Andrew J. Bacevich via claire, Friday, Feb 22 2019, 11:01pm
“Only those of us who were born under Queen Victoria,” wrote Ronald Knox, “know what it feels like to assume, without questioning, that England is permanently top nation, that foreigners do not matter, and that if worst comes to the worst, Lord Salisbury will send a gunboat.” Knox offered this trenchant observation, redolent with irony and perhaps tinged with regret, not as a policymaker or strategic thinker, but from the vantage point of a clergyman. From the 1920s through the 1950s, Monsignor Knox was the most famous and influential Catholic priest in all of Great Britain. As such, he entertained a distinct perspective on what actually qualifies as permanent and what merely offers the appearance.

The [Sick] US Admin Doesn't Care Two Hoots What the World Thinks
Dave Lefcourt via stella, Thursday, Feb 21 2019, 11:50pm
When it comes to US machinations in the world how horrendous can they get? Is that the operative word, something worse? Horrific, unspeakable-although unspeakable is usually reserved for the holocaust perpetrated by Hitler's Nazi Germany against the Jews.

America, The Pathology of Unilateralism
jake, Thursday, Feb 21 2019, 10:43pm
The national pathology infecting America outwardly and unmistakably manifests itself as the false belief that only America is the “exceptional, indispensable” nation, total fantasy without need to qualify as no nation is indispensable, in fact if America were dispensed with, the world would be free of all its criminal, mass murdering wars of theft, appropriation and exploitation, which it wages for its corporate masters, make no mistake, America is a Corporatocracy, not a Democracy.

Understanding Rogue Cultures
claire, Tuesday, Feb 19 2019, 9:42pm
In my early university years, when a humanities degree had worth, I undertook a few units in cultural analysis incorporated in two related majors, sociology and media/textual studies. It proved a wonderful choice as no culture falls out of the sky, everything can be known about any existing and historical culture by studying and analysing the cultural artefacts it produces and in this respect young cultures like the American, are comic book simple. I should add that this discipline is easily able to determine the future behaviours of any culture. (story and 2 images)

The Image is the Medium/Reality
Chris Hedges via gus, Tuesday, Feb 19 2019, 11:58am
Donald Trump, like much of the American public, is entranced by electronic images. He interprets reality through the distortions of digital media. His decisions, opinions, political positions, prejudices and sense of self are reflected back to him on screens. He views himself and the world around him as a vast television show with himself as the star. His primary concerns as president are his ratings, his popularity and his image. He is a creature—maybe the poster child—of the modern, post-literate culture, a culture that critics such as Marshall McLuhan, Daniel Boorstin, James W. Carey and Neil Postman warned us about.

Facebook Favors Propaganda Blocks Video Outlets Critical of US Foreign Policy and Corporate Media
Jessica Corbett via shirl, Tuesday, Feb 19 2019, 11:13am
Journalists and advocates of press freedoms are once more directing outrage and criticism at Facebook for selectively censoring pages on its platform and refusing to explain the reason behind a decision that appears to many as a clear double standard applied to outlets critical of U.S. foreign policy and corporate interests.

War Crimes Complicity -- Raytheon Nabs $1.6 Billion Arms Deal With UAE
Andrea Germanos via gayle, Tuesday, Feb 19 2019, 10:58am
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) just inked billions in deals to secure new weapons from top Pentagon contractor Raytheon a week after an Amnesty International investigation further implicated the Gulf nation in war crimes for transferring Western weapons to unaccountable militia groups, thereby deepening the humanitarian crisis and fueling carnage in war-ravaged Yemen.

War: The USA Prepares for a ‘Limited’ Nuclear War
stacey, Monday, Feb 18 2019, 7:15pm
Do you think it meaningless that America is withdrawing from nuclear arms treaties which maintained nuclear peace for decades and has proceeded to develop tactical mini-nukes, though nukes they are? These two simultaneous occurrences indicate that America, now losing economically against China and in weapons development against Russia, are critically important and frightening realities. Indeed, these are the desperate measures of a failing world power, which refuses to accept the new reality of the 21st century, a multi-polar world. (story and 1 image)

Warsaw, Poland is not a fun place to visit in darkest February, but that is where the US just staged an anti-Iranian jamboree of 60 client states that brought derision and scorn from Europeans and much of the Mideast.

“She’ll be right Mate!”
jane, Friday, Feb 15 2019, 7:59pm
Australia has the dubious distinction of being the most apathetic, slavish nation on earth, the title is a cultural oft stated colloquialism. But is it true? Clearly not, it won’t be ‘right’ without rectification and active remedial measures as is clear and obvious.
