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)

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.

Trump's Neocons See Erdogan as Their Ticket to a Region-Wide Middle East War

Before proceeding it is important to realise what a neocon really is, a rabid, war-mongering pro-Israel puppet pretending to serve America first. See this excellent article on crypto-'Jews' in Washington. (story and 1 image)

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)

Enter Moreno, Goodbye Assange
cyd, Friday, Apr 5 2019, 11:20pm
I recall an US official saying in an interview, to paraphrase, 'what's the point of Assange's self-incarceration if he has access to the internet, he lives online' – indeed, he does. So Lenin Moreno, now fully captured by Washington and given huge monetary incentives, is complying with US wishes to have Assange expelled from his sanctuary in the London Ecuadorian Embassy.

America and the Losing Syndrome
gerry, Thursday, Apr 4 2019, 1:25am
Americans love to ‘win’ in fact they are so addicted to winning that when confronted with the reality of numerous losses, they withdraw into denial. No, they say, we really did win that one and that one, of course relying on the fictitious media which never accepts a loss. Indeed culture is a self-sustaining system based on lies or whatever.
