 The Blame Game as Social Pathology
james, Sunday, Dec 30 2018, 10:28pm
Any professional psychologist/psychiatrist would tell you that people that always blame others and NEVER admit or take responsibility for their own disastrous actions or in-actions, suffer an acute pathology that manifests as pathological lying, narcissism, paranoid psychosis etc. However, when this condition manifests in entire societies it seems disregarded as a SOCIAL disease.

WAR, war and More War -- America is a Disease
darcy, Saturday, Dec 29 2018, 8:35pm
Regardless of all the pretences and Orwellian inversions in Washington’s fictional narratives -- supported and disseminated internationally by the Deep State’s (CFR managed) plutocrat-owned mass media -- it all comes down to permanent WAR. One wonders why so many think tanks and other paid ‘expert’ advice is necessary when all advice and conclusions result in WAR. (story and 1 image)

Inaction on Climate Change Invites Disaster
Dahr Jamail via claire, Friday, Dec 28 2018, 9:34pm
The 20 warmest years ever recorded have been within the last 22 years, and the four warmest of those have been 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018, according to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). The WMO has stated that if these trends continue (and there is no reason to believe they won’t), global temperatures may rise from between 3-5 degrees Celsius (3-5°C) by 2100. The organization warned that if humans exploit all known fossil fuel reserves, “the temperature rise will be considerably higher” than even those catastrophic levels. (story and 2 images)

INDOLENCE and COWARDICE, the roads to RUIN
baz, Tuesday, Dec 25 2018, 8:45pm
This Xmas I have been amused by the antics of two journalists, Chris Hedges, of 9/11 conspiracy denial infame, and John Pilger, acclaimed documentary maker and mate of Martini sipping, Julian Assange, which two have repudiated the CFR managed western mass media as being thoroughly DISHONEST, of course imputing that the mass media is nothing more than a propaganda arm of evil mass murdering elites -- WELL, DOH! The vast majority of aware citizens around the globe are acutely aware of the FACT.

Is His Asia Pullout Trump's last Death Twitch?
Tom Luongo via stacey, Monday, Dec 24 2018, 8:20pm
With his shock announcement of a rapid pullout of all US troops from Syria and Afghanistan Donald Trump finally became President. The neocons called him that when he bombed the Al-Shairat airbase in April 2017, a move I said at the time was the biggest geopolitical blunder in years. (story and 1 image)

7000 US Troops to leave Afghanistan
ned, Monday, Dec 24 2018, 7:12pm
The no-win war in Afghanistan appears to be grinding Washington into submission. Hot on the heels of Trump's Syria withdrawal, Trump ordered a massive reduction of the US troop presence in Afghanistan; it appears that half the occupation force -- 7000 troops -- is to return home either for redeployment, most likely, or for other political reasons, namely, Trump is desperate to appease his support base as other forces close in to unseat his presidency. Though informed opinion, considering war hawks Bolton and Pompeo are advising Trump, would indicate that things are not what they appear to be. A possible aggressive engagement is either planned for Ukraine and/or Iran -- we shall see.

The Parasitic Military Industrial Complex is in Financial Collapse Due to MISMANAGEMENT
Alan MacLeod via sean, Sunday, Dec 23 2018, 9:20pm
$21 Trillion is unaccounted for by auditors of the Pentagon national (vampire) 'defense' system. This staggering figure is the DIRECT result of OUTSOURCING weapons development to the private sector and creating Huge security problems in the process. This corporate slush -- over $700 billion today -- funded system, where every external company goes for the money first, NOT the most advanced COMPETITIVE weapons development, will be the ruin of the nation if not remedied immediately. Even political dunce, but financially aware, Trump, criticises the enormous annual Pentagon budget as "crazy;" as a businessman he is right especially if we compare the Pentagon budget to other nations, which US budget exceeds all other nations COMBINED.

Oligarchy Is Destroying Our Society and the Planet
C.J. Polychroniou via claire, Friday, Dec 21 2018, 9:52pm
Since the onset of the Industrial Revolution, the world has experienced historically unprecedented levels of growth, with capitalism raising the standard of living of many nations. At the same time, capitalism has generated immense contradictions (exploitation of labor and nature, huge economic inequalities and gross social injustices), and these traditionally have been the main foci of radical political movements advancing the vision of a just socioeconomic order. But is the era of capitalist growth now coming to an end?

Democracy Doesn’t Work, Period!
nano, Friday, Dec 21 2018, 9:10pm
The US democratically elected nincompoop president has recently blindsided many allies and his own military -- forcing the resignation of general ‘mad dog’ Mattis -- by impetuously declaring the US has ‘won’ in Syria and so consequently is withdrawing US troops from the quagmire the US created with its proxy forces in the first instance. Few know or understand what is really behind this move as it appears that war hawk and arch-neoconservative, John Bolton, advised Trump -- who was in real-time telephone communication with Turkish president Erdogan -- that he could begin removing troops ‘immediately!’ What goes on here many have asked and very few understand? However, is it really surprising that a 'democratically' elected political dunce president and reality TV star behaves in a manner contrary to any and all political sense? Answer, NO!

Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, Incompetent Manager and Proven LIAR
Steven Overly, Ashley Gold, John Hebdel via gayle, Thursday, Dec 20 2018, 8:11pm
It has been revealed that Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, LIED to a Congressional committee regarding privacy obligations. And as such his company is a clear danger to the public; Zuckerberg clearly breached and abused public trust and existing privacy laws. At the very least Zuckerberg must step down, his company's brand and share price plummets as I write today. It is also known that the CIA/deep state supported Facebook in its early stages of development and continues to mine its data for surveillance/monitoring purposes. However, allowing an arrogant, socially incompetent kid to sit at the helm of one of the largest IT companies in the world has proven to be a huge folly as is now well known. It will be interesting to see how the deep state/CIA attempts to salvage one of its data gold mines and precious 'resources.' Details follow: (story and 2 images)

US to Immediately Withdraw Troops from Syria
Nauman Sadiq via jed, Wednesday, Dec 19 2018, 11:23pm
Washington has finally learned that proxy wars are a once only proposition. After the US proxy war on Libya, deemed to be a success by Obama, who boasted that the US was able to accomplish its illegal regime change goal, "without US boots on the ground," it appears the same attempt on Syria has failed miserably. Syria was lost to America and its Jihadist supporting Saudi ally the moment superpower Russia intervened to support its ally. Indeed, the latest announcement from Washington that it intends to withdraw almost all its troops would seem to verify Syria is a lost cause for America. (story and 1 image)

Xmas approaches and yet the ‘God’ myth prevails among the Christian faithful to this day -- in other words irrational ‘magic’ has superseded temporal/historical realities; however, with only a slight perspective, gained from withdrawing belief in myths, an entirely new REAL view is EASILY apprehended.

Kosovo -- The Untenable Stolen State
drew, Tuesday, Dec 18 2018, 7:58pm
Kosovo is the geographic location of the formation of the Identity and nation of Serbia and its Christian slavic people, as history records, and as such it is and will always be SERBIAN, as opposed to the Albanian Muslims that now tenuously claim it as theirs. It's current president Hashim Thaci, is a wanted Interpol listed criminal though America has seen to it that Interpol does not pursue this Albanian known murdering mafia leader, as he serves as an American puppet -- birds of the feather .... Furthermore, the USA and NATO are forced to maintain a presence in Kosovo as recognition of the stolen State by the international community falters as it threatens the SOVEREIGNTY of numerous other nations that have separatist problems.

Trump, the Quintessential American
Chris Hedges via cyd, Tuesday, Dec 18 2018, 6:29pm
Donald Trump is part of the peculiar breed Herman Melville described in his novel “The Confidence-Man,” in which the main character uses protean personas, flattery and lies to gain the confidence of his fellow passengers to fleece them on a Mississippi River steamboat. “Confidence men,” as Melville understood, are an inevitable product of the amorality of capitalism and the insatiable lust for wealth, power and empire that infects American society. Trump’s narcissism, his celebration of ignorance—which he like all confidence men confuses with innocence—his megalomania and his lack of empathy are pathologies nurtured by the American landscape. They embody the American belief, one that Mark Twain parodied in “Pudd’nhead Wilson,” F. Scott Fitzgerald excoriated in “The Great Gatsby” and William Faulkner portrayed in the depraved Snopes clan, that it does not matter in the crass commercialism of American society how you obtain wealth and power. They are their own justifications. (story and 1 image)
