 Mueller Releases a Skripal Orchestrated Farce
gus, Sunday, Jul 15 2018, 12:40am
The latest ‘news’ -- lol -- on idiotic president Trump and his alleged relationship with Russians has been released by Mueller’s deputy AG, now note the presentation: “Crucial Details“, “Major Development”, “Unveiled” and the list goes on, and that from only one ‘news’ source. So why the big sell if it’s all true? Indeed, the only thing missing is a bottle of nerve agent that any high school chemistry student could make from formulas in a published book freely available in the public domain.

 The Lamentable Notion that Trump is Responsible
gary, Saturday, Jul 14 2018, 2:14am
Two days ago I browsed to Alternet.org, a once good alternative news source, but was shocked to see that over 95% of content was related directly and indirectly to buffoon Trump, an obviously captured, puppet president doing the bidding of the global elite, a milieu of bankers and mega-corporations that have total control of the USA and many other Western and Eastern nations.

For Theresa May The ‘Special Relationship’ Means Craven Compliance
Gary Younge via jon, Thursday, Jul 12 2018, 11:50pm
A US president with no moral authority flies in to meet a British prime minister with no authority whatsoever. Each seeking legitimacy in the presence of the other, they hail their 'special' relationship like two bald men might brandish a comb. Isolated in their trajectories, belligerent in their rhetoric, incoherent in their policies, they have alienated their allies in pursuit of a brazen nationalism that bodes ill for them and everybody else.

"Shakedown" of NATO by America
Finian Cunningham via jenny, Thursday, Jul 12 2018, 10:33pm
The fact is that NATO is an extension of the US military as was evidenced by its criminal bombing of Libya, 26,000 bombing sorties were conducted, in a 'no-fly' zone, by NATO to comply with Washington's interests and pursuits, which effort eventually led to the horrific murder of Gaddafi, and that AFTER he surrendered his WMD under NATO supervision. So there it is, once a nation is rendered defenceless the US/NATO strikes and murders its leader to then thieve its precious resources. (story and 1 image)

The Serene Gaze of the Enlightened
cas, Thursday, Jul 12 2018, 3:30am
Have you ever wondered why the Buddha and other enlightened beings are depicted with a serene facial expression and a faint blissful smile that shames the Mona Lisa? In some Tibetan tankas (religious paintings) Gods and beings are locked in sexual embrace yet the facial expression depicts other-worldliness and detached bliss with slightly upturned eyes (inward looking), and again that tell-tale faint smile, and this while locked in what would otherwise be sensual embrace.

The Scientific Services of the German Bundestag are the equivalent to the Congressional Research Service in the United States. Members of Parliament can ask the services to give their neutral expert opinions on legal questions and other issues. Opinions by the Scientific Services are held in high regard.

Non-Stop Propaganda is Real Fake News
shane, Monday, Jul 9 2018, 11:44pm
Indeed, and who or what disseminates non-stop propaganda? Yes, the elite owned mass media by a country mile; remember the blatant LIES of the Iraq war? Non-existent WMD, fake connection to 9/11 and Iraqis welcoming invading Americans with "bouquets of flowers," etc. In fact the lies, distortions, misinformation that spews daily from the mass media dwarfs all other sources put together. However, what do we witness today? Big IT, Twitter in this instance, suspending over 70 million accounts in 2 months. Now that figure is staggering for a number of reasons, first the labour involved in the cancellation process itself, if it is done diligently, and second, the process itself; if the task has been performed by algorithms, then it’s a fraud as clearly a thinking sentient being is required to judge whether content is fake or not, mathematics cannot and does not think nor is it able to JUDGE!

America’s Chronic Addictions - Opiates, Donald Trump and War
Tom Engelhardt via stacey, Monday, Jul 9 2018, 10:40pm
When you think of addiction in America today, one thing comes to mind: the opioid epidemic. And it should. It’s serious. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, almost 64,000 Americans died of opiate overdoses in 2016 (more than died in the Vietnam War), an average of 175 people a day. In that year, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration estimated that 11.5 million Americans “misused” pain medication. (Note that such figures are still on the rise.)

The Startled Stare
cas, Monday, Jul 9 2018, 3:46am
i had a friend once
an odd fellow that had been
rigorously molded by religion,
it matters not which, as they all separate
the forming child from its essential self
and substitute self-awareness
with all manner of crapulous fantasies
and regulatory behaviours via coercion, guilt
and fear -- religious indoctrination is tantamount
to child abuse

LUDICROUS: The USA has NEVER been placed on Trial for WAR and other crimes Against HUMANITY!
harry, Friday, Jul 6 2018, 10:22pm
Consider the fact that a nation which adheres to a "perpetual war" doctrine, in order to achieve world hegemony, has never appeared before the ICC or has never been charged with war and other crimes against humanity, and that reality after all the exposures of ILLEGAL invasive wars based on LIES and various pretexts, which wars over the past two decades have resulted in millions of innocent deaths and tens of millions more displaced citizens. Now that reality alone makes a mockery of the OBVIOUSLY rigged, politicized, farcical, international courts. It is simply impossible that the USA with its horrendous, exposed record could avoid accountability -- YET IT HAS!!

The Subversion of American Democracy
Michael Payne via jack, Thursday, Jul 5 2018, 9:52pm
The following article is really an ongoing post-mortem as American democracy DIED decades past. Consider the fact of the now completely exposed lies that led America into an invasive ILLEGAL war in Iraq -- has anyone been held to account? Not on your life! That social FAILURE in itself marked a turning point, people are aware their government is corrupt to the core but refuse to hold their criminal governments accountable. It is plain that no government is able to resist the demands of the majority, however, the 'moral' majority is noted for its silence and toleration of overt criminality, and people whine about would-be dictator Trump, who couldn't survive unless the criminal ruling elites were advantaged by his presidency. And so I say R.I.P American democracy, it's over for Freedom and Liberty and the beginning of an oppressed, totalitarian State. And who is to blame? Take a look in the mirror! When the people fail their nation, their nation fails them.
