Google, your data suppression methods are obvious, easily recorded, abysmally inept and generally pathetic.
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.

Why Are We Working to Support Our Oppressors?
Edward Curtin via jane, Thursday, Jan 10 2019, 8:55pm
Ever since I was a young boy, I have wondered why people do the kinds of work they do. I sensed early on that the economic system was a labyrinthine trap devised to imprison people in work they hated but needed for survival. It seemed like common sense to a child when you simply looked and listened to the adults around you. Karl Marx wasn’t necessary for understanding the nature of alienated labor; hearing adults declaim “Thank God It’s Friday” spoke volumes. (story and 1 image)

Mainstream Strategy to Neutralise Influence of Alternative Media
Whitney Webb via shirl, Thursday, Jan 10 2019, 8:28pm
MINNEAPOLIS — Soon after the social media “purge” of independent media sites and pages this past October, a top neoconservative insider — Jamie Fly — was caught stating that the mass deletion of anti-establishment and anti-war pages on Facebook and Twitter was “just the beginning” of a concerted effort by the U.S. government and powerful corporations to silence online dissent within the United States and beyond.

 The Tax INVERSION Con
lex, Wednesday, Jan 9 2019, 9:58pm
Indeed, those that have more than enough to pay fair taxes pay little or mostly no tax, as their wealth enables the mega-rich to utilise various tax evasion structures which they invented for their own use, such as various no taxation zones [tax havens] in which the mega-rich register companies and thereby avoid local taxes. Which contemporary situation is the diametric opposition of how taxation was originally structured, ie, taxing those that have more than enough to pay higher taxes DUE TO THE FACT that the wealth created was/is derived from the nations in which everyone is supposed to pay fair taxes for the maintenance of infrastructure and general up-keep, which RESPONSIBILITY the mega-rich NOW shirk. The huge cost of these necessary projects now falls on the shoulders of those that can least afford to pay.

Scientists have established a link between brain damage and religious fundamentalism
Bobby Azarian via jaxie, Wednesday, Jan 9 2019, 8:50pm
A study published in the journal Neuropsychologia has shown that religious fundamentalism is, in part, the result of a functional impairment in a brain region known as the prefrontal cortex. The findings suggest that damage to particular areas of the prefrontal cortex indirectly promotes religious fundamentalism by diminishing cognitive flexibility and openness—a psychology term that describes a personality trait which involves dimensions like curiosity, creativity, and open-mindedness.

 The Majority of Americans Do Not Believe the Official 9/11 Story
Paul Craig Roberts via darcy, Tuesday, Jan 8 2019, 6:51pm
TruePublica, a British website that has avoided the 9/11 issue, has had its fill of ignorant journalists at the BBC, Huffington Post and other propagandists for the military/security complex. The constant, shrill demeaning of experts and distinguished people who have raised questions about the official story has convinced TruePublica that skeptics who need so much shouting down must have a point.

Syria Withdrawal: 'President' Trump's Decision OVERRULED by Underlings
Ron Paul via james, Tuesday, Jan 8 2019, 6:16pm
If the presidency of the United States means anything at all it means LEADERSHIP and authority; so HOW is it that on almost ALL occasions Trump makes a positive initiative for peace it is OVERRULED by war hawks and neocons that serve the corporate military/industrial/surveillance complex? Indeed, the PRESIDENT, that is the 'commander-in-chief,' seems to command NOTHING -- the so-called 'Deep State' clearly rules the USA, an unrepresentative, un-elected, UNDEMOCRATIC entity that serves its own interests, war PROFITS at the huge expense of civilian and military lives.
Trump, if nothing else, has served to DEMONSTRATE to the ENTIRE WORLD that the US president is IMPOTENT.

Bolton’s Syria Conditions Are Designed to Prevent U.S. Withdrawal
Daniel Larison via jane, Monday, Jan 7 2019, 8:34pm
Syria withdrawal: it was absurd from the start. Could you imagine John Bolton withdrawing from ANY war/occupation? Not in a pink fit, and then with Mike Pompeo on his flank and poor little non-entity president Trump in the middle, what would you? So now the truth emerges, indeed, there is going to be an INDEFINITE withdrawal which could take years. Now that's more in character Washington neocons and war hawks. Since when has any modern president stood in the way of the now entrenched Deep State. Let's face it American dupes, presidents today are only for show purposes. If they go against deep state policy they are easily out-maneuvered by the REAL powers that be and their servants in government. (story and 1 image)

Chomsky’s Unearned Prestige
Eric Zuesse via jane, Sunday, Jan 6 2019, 7:35pm
A large part of Noam Chomsky’s public image as an intellectual is derived not from his role in the field of linguistics, but instead from his having co-authored with Edward Herman Manufacturing Consent. The first matter to be discussed here will therefore be Chomsky’s contribution to that work; and, more broadly, that work’s contribution to human understanding — the actual significance of the book.

Professionals and Experts Finally FORCE 9/11 Grand Jury Investigation

"Based on the work of Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth led by Richard Gage, first responder and pilots organizations, books by David Ray Griffin and others, and eyewitness testimony, the Lawyers’ Committee for 9/11 Inquiry has presented enough hard facts to the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York to force his compliance with the provisions of federal law that require the convening of a federal grand jury to investigate for the first time the attacks of September 11, 2001."

“The Machine of Perpetual War Acceptance”: Veteran NBC Journalist, William Arkin, Resigns in Protest
Jonathan Turley via james, Friday, Jan 4 2019, 9:51pm
This week I published a column on how the Democratic Party seems to have jettisoned many of its defining values to simply become the anti-Trump party. The best example of that transformation is the automatic opposition to Trump’s decision to pull troops out of Syria and other countries. At the same time, liberal media outlets like CNN and MSNBC have been airing continual experts denouncing the “hasty” withdrawal.

 DUPED -- The ‘News’ is CRAP
jess, Thursday, Jan 3 2019, 10:12pm
Have you ever taken a perspective on media news in general regardless of source? If so, you would note that’s it’s mostly, if not ALL, NEGATIVE! Sure we live in troubled times BUT humans by nature are not all bad. So why the continual focus on the ‘dark’ or negative side of human nature? A question that must be asked due to the fact that media news shapes public narratives, discourse and consequently cultural consciousness. (story and 1 image and 1 attached file)

Happy New Year, My Arse -- Tell it Like IT IS!

There’s not a lot to be happy about in reality, unrestrained pollution has resulted in runaway climate change, who’s FAULT? And don’t YOU dare point your finger at anyone but YOURSELF. Dozens of flagrantly ILLEGAL wars and brazenly illegal military occupations justified by brute force only -- no law or international consensus -- and we are supposed to be civilised! Millions of innocents killed and maimed globally by a star-spangled CRIMINAL NATION, not Russia or China, but AMERICA, Saudi Arabia, Israel, NATO, and other vassal ‘allies’ --- hard FACT! And YOU MINDLESS morons and drunken, spineless wankers yell, 'happy year!!'

The West Is in Disarray, and It Will Get Worse
Federico Pieraccini via jess, Sunday, Dec 30 2018, 11:32pm
We are witnessing the withdrawal from Syria of the American military contingent, protests in France, the prospect of a British hard Brexit, the political decline of Angela Merkel in Germany, Netanyahu in crisis, and Mohammad bin Salman of Saudi Arabia suddenly becoming an international pariah. The contemporary crisis of leadership in Europe, the United States and among their main allies has thrown the West into chaos, leading it to one of its most critical junctures in recent decades. It is a situation brought on by the United States and its contradictory politics, which results in diminishing the sovereignty and decision-making power of Washington's allies.
