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.

 'Dystopian' Surveillance Power -- Facebook Asks Big Banks for Customer Data
Jake Johnson via claire, Monday, Aug 6 2018, 10:12pm
Apparently not satisfied with access to its users' call history, text messaging data, and online conversations, Facebook has reportedly asked major Wall Street firms like JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo to hand over their customers' sensitive financial data as part of the social media giant's ongoing attempt to become "a platform where people buy and sell goods and services."

I Traced Missile Casings in Syria Back to Their Original Sellers
Robert Fisk via gary, Monday, Aug 6 2018, 9:49pm
Readers, a small detective story. Note down this number: MFG BGM-71E-1B. And this number: STOCK NO 1410-01-300-0254. And this code: DAA A01 C-0292. I found all these numerals printed on the side of a spent missile casing lying in the basement of a bombed-out Islamist base in eastern Aleppo last year. At the top were the words “Hughes Aircraft Co”, founded in California back in the 1930s by the infamous Howard Hughes and sold in 1997 to Raytheon, the massive US defence contractor whose profits last year came to $23.35bn (£18bn). Shareholders include the Bank of America and Deutsche Bank. Raytheon’s Middle East offices can be found in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Israel, Egypt, Turkey and Kuwait.

 The Machiavellian Approach to the Subversion of the USA
huang, Monday, Aug 6 2018, 9:37am
First, realise as is evident on the daily news cycle that there is nothing UNITED about the United States, the nation couldn’t more divided without plummeting headlong into another civil war. So why plan and design various new approaches to combating America when it has an obvious, under-exploited, Achilles heel -- raging INTERNAL DIVISIONS. Furthermore, I am not alone in predicting that the future for the USA, would not be determined by any external threat but by internal MOB RULE, of course resulting from the many opposed factions at each others’ throats daily.

If the Economy is So Good, Why are Wages Flat?
Pete Dolack via gus, Sunday, Aug 5 2018, 10:44pm
We are supposedly seven years into a “recovery” from the global economic collapse that commenced in 2008. The latest evidence offered to promote this oft-peddled mantra is that U.S. gross domestic product showed a strong uptick for the second quarter of 2018, an annualized rate of 4.1 percent, nearly double that of the first quarter.

 The Doors of Perception are Opened and Closed for us
Dr. Tim O’Shea via jenny, Sunday, Aug 5 2018, 7:23am
Aldous Huxley’s inspired 1954 essay detailed the vivid, mind-expanding, multisensory insights of his mescaline adventures. By altering his brain chemistry with natural psychotropics, Huxley tapped into a rich and fluid world of shimmering, indescribable beauty and power. With his neurosensory input thus triggered, Huxley was able to enter that parallel universe glimpsed by every mystic and space captain in recorded history. Whether by hallucination or epiphany, Huxley sought to remove all bonds, all controls, all filters, all cultural conditioning from his perceptions and to confront Nature or the World or Reality first-hand – in its unpasteurized, unedited, unretouched infinite rawness.

Perils of Ineptitude
Andrew Levine, Sunday, Aug 5 2018, 3:02am
When Donald Trump flubs through ignorance, incompetence, or poor judgment – that would be nearly all the time – he insists that he has not flubbed at all; that, quite to the contrary, he accomplished wonders. Whoever questions his words is spreading “fake news” and is an “enemy of the people."
Who knows if he believes these shameless self-promotions. It is possible; conmen often do fall for their own lines.

Jared Kushner's Cynical ‘Deal of the Century’
Robert Fisk via stacey, Saturday, Aug 4 2018, 10:29pm
Hindsight is unfair – but it might tell the truth. First, Donald Trump proclaims Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, thus depriving the Palestinians of their capital in the east of the city. The Palestinians are appalled. Mahmoud Abbas says he will no longer talk to the United States. So Trump rages that “we pay the Palestinians hundreds of millions of dollars a year and get no appreciation or respect.” It was only a tweet, but he means it. Those ungrateful Palestinian wretches! And he cuts $300m from America’s aid to the refugees, giving the oppressed and besieged and dispossessed Palestinians a mere $60m. (story and 1 image)

Recovering Economy, Ay? Blow it Out Your Arse!
tom, Saturday, Aug 4 2018, 9:59pm
It is a given that every western government blames previous governments for the appalling state of the national economy, mismanagement, soaring debt, corruption, favouring minority sectors, etc, we’ve heard it all before a million times. But there’s one sure, indicator/measure that all lying politicians cannot avoid, stagnant wage growth over decades.

The Two-edged Sword Ready to Inflict a Mortal Wound on the USA
Federico Pieraccini via sean, Saturday, Aug 4 2018, 8:37am
The transition phase we are going through, passing from a unipolar global order to a multipolar one, calls for careful observation. It is important to analyze the actions taken by two world powers, China and Russia, in defending and consolidating their sovereignty over the long term. Observing decisions taken by these two countries in recent years, we can discern a twofold strategy. One is economic, the other purely military. In both cases we observe strong cooperation between Moscow and Beijing. The merit of this alliance is paradoxically attributed to the attitude of various US administrations, from George Bush Senior through to Obama. The special relationship between Moscow and Beijing has been forged by a shared experience of Washington’s pressure over the last 25 years. (story and 1 image)

The Beginning -- Yugoslavia
Vladimir Golstein via jane, Saturday, Aug 4 2018, 7:32am
America's present imperial (neocon) course began with the illegal intervention in Yugoslavia, which nation remained independent while other European nations succumbed to American domination. Notwithstanding that Yugoslavia was formed after WWII by Marshal Tito the head of partisan forces fighting against fascism with allied forces, though Croatia, Bosnia and Albania fought with the Nazis, much to their eternal shame, but Tito was a nation builder and America is now a nation destroyer, as history verifies.

Trump the genius president for the Elites -- Take a closer View
darcy, Friday, Aug 3 2018, 9:58pm
Blithering idiot Trump is the perfect compliant president for corporations, banks and the Deep State. Consider ‘his’ tax policy, ‘his’ immigration policy, the HUGE amount of tax-payer dollars (almost a trillion) funneled into the military (weapons manufacturers that produce lemons), his environmental policies, the latest is reversing bans on bee-killing pesticides and GMOs, etc. Without much effort it becomes CLEAR as crystal that he pointedly serves the large petro-chemical/oil/gas extraction corporations, military contractors and other Big business interests. His illegal attacks on Syria, slavish relationship with Israel and proposed attacks on Iran (all neocon policies) are clearly not Trump. And who are these interests in control if not the ruling elite milieu, shadow government or deep state?

Erdogan And The EU Are On A Collision Course In The Balkans
Alon Ben-Meir via james, Thursday, Aug 2 2018, 9:50pm
Banned from promoting his dangerous Islamic agenda across the European Union, Turkish President Erdogan is now seeking to use his growing influence in the Balkans against the Western countries. Erdogan's aggressive return to the Balkans increased concerns among critics in southeastern Europe -- the region where he is pursuing more assertive policies and strategically spreading his brand of Islamist nationalism through a network of mosques and religious institutions.
