 The end of the dollar as we know it
Andy Langenkamp via suzie, Monday, Sep 2 2019, 8:46pm
Current uncertainty and worries are clearly reflected in the financial markets. Investors are fleeing into assets that are deemed safe, such as gold, U.S. Treasuries and the dollar. They still flock to the U.S. on a massive scale, whereas a lot of the current insecurity derives directly from the White House. At the same time, we are seeing more and more commentaries around the question of whether a shift is taking place, slowly but surely, from the dollar toward other currencies.

 Is the Fed Preparing to Topple US Dollar [with Massive Global Recession]?
F. William Engdahl via stella, Monday, Sep 2 2019, 12:07am
Unusual remarks and actions by the outgoing head of the Bank of England and other central banking insiders strongly suggest that there is a very ugly scenario in the works to end the role of the US dollar as world reserve currency. In the process, this would involve that the Fed deliberately triggers a dramatic economic depression. If this scenario is actually deployed in coming months, Donald Trump will go down in history books as the second Hebert Hoover, and the world economy will be pushed into the worst collapse since the 1930s. Here are some elements worth considering. (story and 1 image)

The Oligarchy’s Plans for Our Future Keep Getting Dumber
Caitlin Johnstone via jess, Sunday, Sep 1 2019, 12:08am
It’s rare to get a billionaire to share their grand plans for the future, which is weird because billionaires pretty much rule the world. Whenever they do, though, it’s always something incredibly sociopathic, like replacing all jobs with billionaire-owned automation/AI and giving people a Universal Basic Income set by the billionaire-owned government. Or loading all the humans onto rocket ships and sending them to live on Amazon Space Dildos.

Plato's Allegory of the Cave
S. Marc Cohen via james, Saturday, Aug 31 2019, 10:35pm
In the allegory, Plato likens people untutored in the Theory of Forms to prisoners chained in a cave, unable to turn their heads. All they can see is the wall of the cave. Behind them burns a fire. Between the fire and the prisoners there is a parapet, along which puppeteers can walk. The puppeteers, who are behind the prisoners, hold up puppets that cast shadows on the wall of the cave. The prisoners are unable to see these puppets, the real objects, that pass behind them. What the prisoners see and hear are shadows and echoes cast by objects that they do not see. Here is an illustration of Plato’s Cave

The Myth of More Money More Military Power
Melvin Goodman via joan, Saturday, Aug 31 2019, 9:26pm
Russia over the past few decades has outperformed America in high tech devastating weapons development in the most critical areas of modern warfare, air, sea (submersible missiles), space and particularly cyber space. Allied jet pilots have reported the sudden loss of instrumentation (control) while flying over Russian installations, so too Israeli fighter pilots. Russia and China on the smell of an oil rag, comparatively speaking, have leapt ahead of the profit obsessed US corporate model, proving that necessity and ingenuity are the primary driving factors for advanced development of weapons and other advanced utilities, NOT money. Nevertheless, due primarily to media misinformation and propaganda, America continues to IMAGINE itself as the leading military nation of the world, which today is utter crap. The Sino-Russian alliance is by far the stronger force compared to the US-NATO alliance, fact! A little research easily verifies that reality. (story and 1 image)

War, censorship, and the invention of “Fake News”
Andre Damon via jaxie, Thursday, Aug 29 2019, 9:50pm
The following article, written by Andre Damon in 2018 predicted what is now clearly evident today regarding Internet CENSORSHIP. To confirm its predictive veracity and accuracy all one need do is focus on what has happened since. Internet censorship by large IT companies, and recently, western governments around the globe legislating the banning/blocking of "undesirable" content (i.e., alternative news sites). Which effect has resulted in an average loss of 70% readership of those alternative news sites. Tulsi Gabbard, pursuing the Democrat nominee candidacy for president of the US has been targeted and vilified by these clearly conspiratorial large IT and media companies/forces as she does not follow the dominant, fictional, scripted media/narrative discourse of current ruling elites, known collectively as the 'Deep State' or 'Shadow Government'.

Western Powers Ignore Modi's Stalinist Approach to Kashmir
Brian Cloughley via gus, Thursday, Aug 29 2019, 1:03am
On August 23 the New York Times reported that the Indian Ministry of External Affairs “won’t say why foreign journalists continue to be blocked from setting foot in Kashmir” but managed to obtain a compelling first-hand account of one of the thousands of arrests by the authorities. In this instance “Asifa Mubeen was woken up by the sound of barking dogs as policemen began pouring into her yard. Her husband, Mubeen Shah, a wealthy Kashmiri merchant, stepped out onto their bedroom balcony in the night air. The police shouted that he was under arrest. When he asked to see a warrant, his wife said, the police told him there wouldn’t be one. ‘This is different,’ they said. ‘We have orders.’ It was the start of one of the biggest mass arrests of civilian leaders in decades carried out by India, a close American partner that bills itself as one of the world’s leading democracies…”

Trump's Recent Feigns and Destructive Economic Lies
Bess Levin via stella, Tuesday, Aug 27 2019, 11:46pm
Donald Trump is in a tough spot. You see, his trade war with China is hurting the economy just like everyone said it would, which is threatening to push the United States into a recession. Even Trump, whose brain short-circuited years ago, knows this would be bad, particularly for a guy whose campaign slogan is, “You have no choice but to vote for me because your 401(k), everything is going to be down the tubes [if you don’t].” The problem is, China appears unlikely to budge and has met every single round of tariffs with retaliatory measures of their own.

Trump wants to give government Permanent 'Authority' to Spy on ALL Americans
Judge Andrew Napolitano via shirl, Monday, Aug 26 2019, 8:24pm
While most of us have been thinking about the end of summer and while the political class frets over the Democratic presidential debates and the aborted visit of two members of Congress to Israel [media distraction], the Trump administration has quietly moved to extend and make permanent the government's authority to spy on all persons in America.

Symbiosis of Black and White Capital – Elite Crime Money and Elite Mega-corporate Money are One
johnny, Monday, Aug 26 2019, 12:20am
I have no idea why this topic has never been overtly addressed, pursued and made public knowledge, that is, the marriage of organised crime wealth and the wealth of corporate/banker elites. This relationship is certainly not hidden, it is in fact an overt reality easily investigated by anyone with a computer and internet connection, at least for now, as western puppet governments world wide are now pursuing with a vengeance internet censorship and the modification/shaping of the free flow of information; for instance, a site like Wikileaks could accrue all the damning and compromising information it wants in the future, but if the public is prevented from viewing it then of what use is this information?

The Nuclear Irresponsibility of Small Lackey Nations
Paul Craig Roberts via jane, Saturday, Aug 24 2019, 10:27pm
After falsely accusing Russia of violating the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF), Washington unilaterally repudiated the treaty. Thus did the US military/security complex rid itself of the landmark agreement achieved by Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev that defused the Cold War.

Australian ISPs in League with Morrison Government Block "Undesirable" Web Sites
Paul Smith via fred, Saturday, Aug 24 2019, 9:02pm
Australian ISPs under the auspices of the new Pentecostal 'speaking in tongues' ideologically conservative Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, have already arbitrarily blocked dissenting web site 'Zero Hedge,' though that web site has never broadcast or propagated violent material (Christchurch shooting) as Facebook and Twitter have, which two Corporate sites have not been blocked in Australia under Morrison's (selective) "e-smart" policy. It would seem that any website which the government disagrees with could and no doubt would be blocked in future, as clearly this now implemented censorship has met with no resistance from the public though clearly the strategy is the thin end of the wedge.
