 Criminal States Within Democratic States
jess, Sunday, Apr 21 2019, 2:23am
It's tragically laughable that anyone in a western democracy today imagines that their leaders are the people's representatives, clearly they serve elite business interests, which own all western governments -- effectively democracy is dead and buried.

Assange, Mass Media and the Art of Distraction
lex, Sunday, Apr 21 2019, 12:09am
A recent article on Assange, written by Jonathan Cook, essentially describes what media studies students and analysts know to be the tricks of the trade, the foremost being distraction or shifting focus from the questionable and compromising to other less pertinent 'salad dressing' issues. In this way the media-nose-ringed masses are LED as they do not discriminate, they CONSUME.

Venezuela – Quiet Before the Storm?
Peter Koenig via jaxie, Friday, Apr 19 2019, 10:44pm
The silence is almost deafening. Is it the quiet before the storm? – Or is the US giving up on Venezuela? I don’t think so. It’s more like a regrouping after a first defeat, well, it’s a multiple defeat, if we start counting since the failed coup attempt against Hugo Chavez on 11 April 2002.

Pentagon Spending is Bleeding America Dry
Jake Johnson via james, Friday, Apr 19 2019, 10:22pm
It seems the American people would rather see their hard earned tax dollars go to endless illegal wars and weapons manufacturers rather than to critical social services, education, health, the environment and to maintaining a failing infrastructure; well so be it, but even a modicum of research reveals that ONLY the military industrial complex benefits from these monumental tax-payer funds to the Pentagon. Average Americans see no benefit whatsoever, as it is the mammoth corporations and Wall St.banks that take all the ill-gotten profits that the Pentagon provides via its ongoing illegal wars.
And so we say enjoy it, you ignorant, exploited, and gutless doodle dandies, the most slavish, cowardly and easily managed population in the WORLD. Suck on it!

An Empire of Bullshit and the Sordid Art of Mass Media DISTRACTION
James Howard Kunstler via james, Friday, Apr 19 2019, 9:35pm
Prior to proceeding to the article some basic FACTS require airing AGAIN. From day one of the fabricated "Russiagate" investigation headed by deep state servant Mueller, absolutely NO SUBSTANTIVE EVIDENCE was produced though if any such evidence existed the NSA, as per its commission, would certainly have produced it. The two year Mueller investigation was/is PURE FARCE/RUSE as is now obvious; however, it succeeded in distracting the public away from the REAL issues, wealth disparity, inequality, climate crisis, perpetual illegal wars and illegal regime change AND EXPOSING the sordid machinations of deep state CRIMINALS that have HIJACKED the American State.
If the American people are so easily distracted, like a child with candy, then the society is clearly lost to the false narratives/fictions of the privately owned, CFR managed mass media, which serves only criminal elite agendas NOT the public interest.

When Exposing a Crime is Treated as Committing a Crime ...
John Whitehead via reg, Wednesday, Apr 17 2019, 9:20pm
In the current governmental climate, where laws that run counter to the dictates of the Constitution are made in secret, passed without debate, and upheld by secret courts that operate behind closed doors, obeying one’s conscience and speaking truth to the power of the police state can render you an “enemy of the state.”

WikiLeaks Must be Maintained as a Force for Truth With or Without Assange
stacey, Tuesday, Apr 16 2019, 1:17am
I was fortunate in that I was socialised in pre-digital times. Society functioned solely on the 'we' principle; the cooperation of the group was essential to the survival of a cohesive society as had been the case ever since large societies were formed. Indeed, early manifestations of large societies, some thousands of years past, ancient Egypt and Sumer, offered a model difficult to reject; a ruling clique minority elite, backed by both military strength and ideological principles – which imposed implausible belief systems that ruling elites were above the rest and had a 'divine right' to rule over the ignorant, uninformed, ENSLAVED masses. That seemingly efficient (proven) model was followed by Rome to a tee and it manifests today as a (declining) Imperial U.S. State, declining for the same reasons that other large societies/empires of the past declined and collapsed -- successful competition from outside or less common, internal opposition in the form of revolts and uprisings.

Sacrificing Julian Assange and OUR Right to Question and Know the TRUTH
Chris Hedges via reg, Sunday, Apr 14 2019, 10:09pm
The arrest Thursday of Julian Assange eviscerates all pretense of the rule of law and the rights of a free press. The illegalities, embraced by the Ecuadorian, British and U.S. governments, in the seizure of Assange are ominous. They presage a world where the internal workings, abuses, corruption, lies and crimes, especially war crimes, carried out by corporate states and the global ruling elite will be masked from the public. They presage a world where those with the courage and integrity to expose the misuse of power will be hunted down, tortured, subjected to sham trials and given lifetime prison terms in solitary confinement. They presage an Orwellian dystopia where news is replaced with propaganda, trivia and entertainment. The arrest of Assange, I fear, marks the official beginning of the corporate totalitarianism that will define our lives.

The Killing of Journalism and the Criminal Pursuit of Assange for Publishing Truth
Pepe Escobar via gayle, Saturday, Apr 13 2019, 8:53pm
The date – April 11, 2019 – will live in infamy in the annals of Western “values” and “freedom of expression.” The image is stark. A handcuffed journalist and publisher dragged out by force from the inside of an embassy, clutching a Gore Vidal book on the History of the US National Security State. (story and 2 images)

China Belt and Road Initiative Moves to Americas, Rattles U.S.

PANAMA CITY--China's expansion in Latin America of its Belt and Road initiative to build ports and other trade-related facilities is stirring alarm in Washington over Beijing's ambitions in a region that American leaders since the 19th century have seen as off-limits to other powers.

Decriminalizing the [Lost] War on Drugs?
Alfred W. McCoy via reg, Tuesday, Apr 9 2019, 10:11pm
You would think the USA learned from its bitter alcohol prohibition FAILURE which allowed organised crime to become the behemoths they are today, however, as the world knows America is a hard learner, if it learns at all. The 'war' on drugs is an abysmal failure, no doubt, but it allows for certain government agencies to make large amounts of instant unrecorded cash, as well as making drug lords multi-millionaires and billionaires -- now note that it is no coincidence that the largest world heroin supply moved with the American military from Indo-China to Afghanistan, as once tempted by easy money that habit is hard to break, particularly for the CIA, which runs its own covert operations not sanctioned or funded by Washington, as well as those sanctioned by government from which it gains funds.

Climate Crisis -- Arctic Indicators Spell Doom

A new research paper by American and European climate scientists focused on Arctic warming published Monday reveals that the "smoking gun" when it comes to changes in the world's northern polar region is rapidly warming air temperatures that are having—and will continue to have—massive and negative impacts across the globe.

ALIENATION: The SOCIAL IMPLOSION of America
Michael Snyder via jane, Monday, Apr 8 2019, 9:32pm
The American Dream is dead and buried and it is easy to see why. The manic pursuit of profit -- worse than a heroin addiction -- by elite bankers and mega-corporations have destroyed the traditional social fabric and the viability of the nation. Take for example defence. Profit seeking weapons manufacturers build multi-billion dollar aircraft carriers simply because they make huge profits therefrom, while Russia and China, not ruled by vested interests, build hyper-sonic anti-aircraft carrier missiles which easily vaporise any super carrier for a tiny fraction of the cost. Aircraft carriers are actually redundant today, so why are they built? So all the corporations involved in their manufacture are able to turn massive profits, just look at the defence budget, which is bleeding the country dry and making ocean going sitting ducks. The same applies to the aircraft industry -- the F-35 strike 'lemon' is the obvious example. (story and 1 image)
