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.

 The Image is the Medium/Reality
Chris Hedges via gus, Tuesday, Feb 19 2019, 11:58am
Donald Trump, like much of the American public, is entranced by electronic images. He interprets reality through the distortions of digital media. His decisions, opinions, political positions, prejudices and sense of self are reflected back to him on screens. He views himself and the world around him as a vast television show with himself as the star. His primary concerns as president are his ratings, his popularity and his image. He is a creature—maybe the poster child—of the modern, post-literate culture, a culture that critics such as Marshall McLuhan, Daniel Boorstin, James W. Carey and Neil Postman warned us about.

Facebook Favors Propaganda Blocks Video Outlets Critical of US Foreign Policy and Corporate Media
Jessica Corbett via shirl, Tuesday, Feb 19 2019, 11:13am
Journalists and advocates of press freedoms are once more directing outrage and criticism at Facebook for selectively censoring pages on its platform and refusing to explain the reason behind a decision that appears to many as a clear double standard applied to outlets critical of U.S. foreign policy and corporate interests.

War Crimes Complicity -- Raytheon Nabs $1.6 Billion Arms Deal With UAE
Andrea Germanos via gayle, Tuesday, Feb 19 2019, 10:58am
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) just inked billions in deals to secure new weapons from top Pentagon contractor Raytheon a week after an Amnesty International investigation further implicated the Gulf nation in war crimes for transferring Western weapons to unaccountable militia groups, thereby deepening the humanitarian crisis and fueling carnage in war-ravaged Yemen.

War: The USA Prepares for a ‘Limited’ Nuclear War
stacey, Monday, Feb 18 2019, 7:15pm
Do you think it meaningless that America is withdrawing from nuclear arms treaties which maintained nuclear peace for decades and has proceeded to develop tactical mini-nukes, though nukes they are? These two simultaneous occurrences indicate that America, now losing economically against China and in weapons development against Russia, are critically important and frightening realities. Indeed, these are the desperate measures of a failing world power, which refuses to accept the new reality of the 21st century, a multi-polar world. (story and 1 image)

Warsaw, Poland is not a fun place to visit in darkest February, but that is where the US just staged an anti-Iranian jamboree of 60 client states that brought derision and scorn from Europeans and much of the Mideast.

“She’ll be right Mate!”
jane, Friday, Feb 15 2019, 7:59pm
Australia has the dubious distinction of being the most apathetic, slavish nation on earth, the title is a cultural oft stated colloquialism. But is it true? Clearly not, it won’t be ‘right’ without rectification and active remedial measures as is clear and obvious.

The USA Drops Out of Top 20 LEAST Corrupt Countries in the World
Clark Mindock via gary, Sunday, Feb 10 2019, 8:49pm
The masses sometimes fail to understand the full implications of Corruption. If the media constantly distorts and lies to the masses that is a symptom of insidious corruption; if large corporations pay no tax and the burden is placed on the shoulders of the struggling, underpaid, exploited people, that of course is Corruption of government for favouring Corporate elites. Of course the list goes on and on in ALL western 'democracies' and I'm sure the average reader is able to add numerous other corrupt instances to the list -- put simply the game is rigged by those that have the resources (MONEY) to corrupt and influence outcomes, which group is easy to identify, the 'privileged,' rotten Corporates who benefit most from corrupting the American and other governments throughout the WORLD.

Truth Suppression Across the Western Mass Media
Eric Zuesse via jane, Sunday, Feb 10 2019, 8:13pm
This news-report is being submitted to all US and allied news-media, and is being published by all honest ones, in order to inform you of crucial facts that the others — the dishonest ones, who hide such crucial facts — are hiding about Venezuela. These are facts that have received coverage only in one single British newspaper: the Independent, which published a summary account of them on January 26th. That newspaper’s account will be excerpted here at the end, but first will be highlights from its topic, the official report to the UN General Assembly in August of last year, which has been covered-up ever since. This is why that report’s author has now gone to the Independent, desperate to get the story out, finally, to the public.

State War -- the Likelihood
lex, Saturday, Feb 9 2019, 9:00pm
It seems the global ‘war on terror,’ has served its purpose, that is, the ruse that allowed the USA to illegally and preemptively invade any resource rich weaker nation and steal its resources, notwithstanding that numerous invaded nations posed NO THREAT whatsoever, to the USA.

Washington Smirks at the Prospect of Chinese and Russian Support for Venezuela

Washington neocons once laughed openly at the prospect of Russia interfering with its wars of oil domination falsely labelled the ‘war on terror,’ the exact comment was, “what could Russia do?” [to interfere.] Well, at that time Washington was correct.

The Critical Time Factor in All Coups
cyd, Thursday, Feb 7 2019, 8:31pm
A successful coup d'état once initiated is critically time dependent, if it fails to achieve its objective in 24 hours, one week at the absolute outside, then it is likely to fail. History is replete with successful fast snatches of power and drawn out failures in this respect. External or internal forces that foment coups are well aware of the critical time factor, a successful coup is a SHOCK tactic and shock must by nature be hard and fast. So in view of historical success and failures the already drawn out coup attempt in Venezuela is headed for failure, so Washington’s plan B, which the mass media ignores in its full implications, has been queued.

Venezuela and Possible US Military intervention -- A Total No-Win Situation
darcy, Wednesday, Feb 6 2019, 8:41pm
It takes resurrected neocon psychopaths like John Bolton to threaten war in Venezuela and that after withdrawing from two major failed wars in Syria and Afghanistan. However, clearly Washington foreign policy neocons have not thought it through as the vast majority of Venezuelans (85%) passionately refuse and would fight against any foreign intervention, particularly from blood-drenched, interfering American hands. That 'minor' factor is ignored (by the western mass media) though it portends a HUGE RESISTANCE, which implications Bolton and his neocon ilk have not properly considered, notwithstanding Chinese and Russian support for the elected sitting president, Maduro.

Why Nothing Changes
jane, Tuesday, Feb 5 2019, 8:17pm
All western governments are owned by mega-wealthy, tax avoiding, corporate interests pure and simple. Politicians are puppets and those that have a semblance of independent thought and attempt to represent the people are soon eliminated leaving a group of non-representative elite-serving sycophants in government whose only job is to do the bidding of the corporate-banker elites that own the western world.

US Threats of War for Oil against Venezuela
Eric London via stella, Tuesday, Feb 5 2019, 6:57pm
John Bolton, who helped author the playbook that was used to launch the 2003 invasion of Iraq, issued a blunt threat Friday that the US would kill or jail and torture Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro if he did not resign. Comparing Maduro to Nicolae Ceaușescu and Benito Mussolini—both of whom were killed—Bolton told right-wing radio host Hugh Hewitt: “The sooner he takes advantage of that [i.e., resignation], the sooner he’s likely to have a nice quiet retirement on a pretty beach rather than being in some other beach area like Guantanamo.” (story and 1 image)
