Google, your data suppression methods are obvious, easily recorded, abysmally inept and generally pathetic.
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.

US Urges ‘Calm’ While Stoking India-Pakistan Conflict
SCF Editorial via james, Friday, Mar 1 2019, 7:06pm
Prior to reading the repost below, it should be noted that US power and influence in the world are in rapid decline, as is well known. Contributors to this site warned of US interference against its two main competitors, Russia and China, by fomenting a major conflict in Asia and thereby disrupting plans to integrate Eurasia with the New Silk Road project (BRI) initiated by China. A failed provocation by Washington puppet Ukraine of Russia in the Azov Sea is one clear example. (story and 1 image)

Israel's role in India’s escalating conflict with Pakistan
Robert Fisk via jaxie, Thursday, Feb 28 2019, 10:18pm
When I heard the first news report, I assumed it was an Israeli air raid on Gaza. Or Syria. Airstrikes on a “terrorist camp” were the first words. A “command and control centre” destroyed, many “terrorists” killed. The military was retaliating for a “terrorist attack” on its troops, we were told. (story and 1 image)

 What Does It Take to Destroy a World Order?
Alfred W. McCoy via jason, Thursday, Feb 28 2019, 9:33pm
Once upon a time in America, we could all argue about whether or not U.S. global power was declining. Now, most observers have little doubt that the end is just a matter of timing and circumstance. Ten years ago, I predicted that, by 2025, it would be all over for American power, a then-controversial comment that’s commonplace today. Under President Donald Trump, the once “indispensable nation” that won World War II and built a new world order has become dispensable indeed.

MH-370 and Victory For The Chagos Islanders (Diego Garcia)
John Pilger via gary, Wednesday, Feb 27 2019, 7:11pm
John Pilger, an independent, traditional, investigative journalist of the old school must be congratulated for his tireless efforts in making this issue known to the world and pursuing the case of the displaced and dispossessed Chagossians, which efforts recently culminated in a favourable legal decision for the Islanders who were illegally removed from their home in order for the Americans to appropriate and install a highly sophisticated communications military base on Diego Garcia, which base is suspected to be implicated in the disappearance of Malaysian airliner, MH-370.

The Truth Is ...
darcy, Monday, Feb 25 2019, 3:54pm
The entire WORLD is sick and tired of US military interventions and interference from Washington. However, that reality hasn’t dented the delusional neocon dream that America owns the world and is able to dictate foreign policy to other sovereign nations from Washington.

The Radical Sayings of Jesus -- Ignored Today
Mike Rivage-Seul via jane, Sunday, Feb 24 2019, 8:47pm
Jesus, according to the Gospel narratives was a social reformer much as was his radical cousin, John the baptist. The narratives clearly and unmistakably depict Jesus as a champion of the oppressed and a despiser of the rich, wealthy and powerful elites, yet modern popular preachers and churches swimming in wealth pay little regard to his clearly political teachings of social reformation. Jesus himself labelled such as hypocrites and wolves in sheep's clothing. .

China’s Australian Coal Ban
Binoy Kampmark via gus, Saturday, Feb 23 2019, 6:11pm
Indeed, the 'hole-in-ground,' resource limited Australian economy is proving, as it should, the gross incompetence of the DUNCE Australian government that imagined that non-diversification would not make the nation economically vulnerable. The 'she'll be right mate' attitude of incompetent government has recently been challenged by China that is issuing a not so subtle hint to the dunce Australian conservative government to cease its absurd kowtowing to Washington's anti-China political policies, and that such servile obsequiousness has a price. After all America is barely able to manage its own military interventionist resource theft based economy which precludes assisting Australia by increasing Australian resource imports. And so a price will be exacted by China on knee-walking (to Washington), custard faced, incompetent, servile Australian politicians and their bereft of real diversified sovereign policies aimed at the benefit of the Australian nation/people as opposed to serving Washington's insane, counter-productive militaristic policies.

‘Indispensable Nation’ No More
Andrew J. Bacevich via claire, Friday, Feb 22 2019, 11:01pm
“Only those of us who were born under Queen Victoria,” wrote Ronald Knox, “know what it feels like to assume, without questioning, that England is permanently top nation, that foreigners do not matter, and that if worst comes to the worst, Lord Salisbury will send a gunboat.” Knox offered this trenchant observation, redolent with irony and perhaps tinged with regret, not as a policymaker or strategic thinker, but from the vantage point of a clergyman. From the 1920s through the 1950s, Monsignor Knox was the most famous and influential Catholic priest in all of Great Britain. As such, he entertained a distinct perspective on what actually qualifies as permanent and what merely offers the appearance.

The [Sick] US Admin Doesn't Care Two Hoots What the World Thinks

When it comes to US machinations in the world how horrendous can they get? Is that the operative word, something worse? Horrific, unspeakable-although unspeakable is usually reserved for the holocaust perpetrated by Hitler's Nazi Germany against the Jews.

America, The Pathology of Unilateralism
jake, Thursday, Feb 21 2019, 10:43pm
The national pathology infecting America outwardly and unmistakably manifests itself as the false belief that only America is the “exceptional, indispensable” nation, total fantasy without need to qualify as no nation is indispensable, in fact if America were dispensed with, the world would be free of all its criminal, mass murdering wars of theft, appropriation and exploitation, which it wages for its corporate masters, make no mistake, America is a Corporatocracy, not a Democracy.

Understanding Rogue Cultures
claire, Tuesday, Feb 19 2019, 9:42pm
In my early university years, when a humanities degree had worth, I undertook a few units in cultural analysis incorporated in two related majors, sociology and media/textual studies. It proved a wonderful choice as no culture falls out of the sky, everything can be known about any existing and historical culture by studying and analysing the cultural artefacts it produces and in this respect young cultures like the American, are comic book simple. I should add that this discipline is easily able to determine the future behaviours of any culture. (story and 2 images)

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.
