 “The Machine of Perpetual War Acceptance”: Veteran NBC Journalist, William Arkin, Resigns in Protest
Jonathan Turley via james, Friday, Jan 4 2019, 9:51pm
This week I published a column on how the Democratic Party seems to have jettisoned many of its defining values to simply become the anti-Trump party. The best example of that transformation is the automatic opposition to Trump’s decision to pull troops out of Syria and other countries. At the same time, liberal media outlets like CNN and MSNBC have been airing continual experts denouncing the “hasty” withdrawal.

  DUPED -- The ‘News’ is CRAP
jess, Thursday, Jan 3 2019, 10:12pm
Have you ever taken a perspective on media news in general regardless of source? If so, you would note that’s it’s mostly, if not ALL, NEGATIVE! Sure we live in troubled times BUT humans by nature are not all bad. So why the continual focus on the ‘dark’ or negative side of human nature? A question that must be asked due to the fact that media news shapes public narratives, discourse and consequently cultural consciousness. (story and 1 image and 1 attached file)

Happy New Year, My Arse -- Tell it Like IT IS!
suzie, Tuesday, Jan 1 2019, 10:14pm
There’s not a lot to be happy about in reality, unrestrained pollution has resulted in runaway climate change, who’s FAULT? And don’t YOU dare point your finger at anyone but YOURSELF. Dozens of flagrantly ILLEGAL wars and brazenly illegal military occupations justified by brute force only -- no law or international consensus -- and we are supposed to be civilised! Millions of innocents killed and maimed globally by a star-spangled CRIMINAL NATION, not Russia or China, but AMERICA, Saudi Arabia, Israel, NATO, and other vassal ‘allies’ --- hard FACT! And YOU MINDLESS morons and drunken, spineless wankers yell, 'happy year!!'

The West Is in Disarray, and It Will Get Worse
Federico Pieraccini via jess, Sunday, Dec 30 2018, 11:32pm
We are witnessing the withdrawal from Syria of the American military contingent, protests in France, the prospect of a British hard Brexit, the political decline of Angela Merkel in Germany, Netanyahu in crisis, and Mohammad bin Salman of Saudi Arabia suddenly becoming an international pariah. The contemporary crisis of leadership in Europe, the United States and among their main allies has thrown the West into chaos, leading it to one of its most critical junctures in recent decades. It is a situation brought on by the United States and its contradictory politics, which results in diminishing the sovereignty and decision-making power of Washington's allies.

The Blame Game as Social Pathology
james, Sunday, Dec 30 2018, 10:28pm
Any professional psychologist/psychiatrist would tell you that people that always blame others and NEVER admit or take responsibility for their own disastrous actions or in-actions, suffer an acute pathology that manifests as pathological lying, narcissism, paranoid psychosis etc. However, when this condition manifests in entire societies it seems disregarded as a SOCIAL disease.

WAR, war and More War -- America is a Disease
darcy, Saturday, Dec 29 2018, 8:35pm
Regardless of all the pretences and Orwellian inversions in Washington’s fictional narratives -- supported and disseminated internationally by the Deep State’s (CFR managed) plutocrat-owned mass media -- it all comes down to permanent WAR. One wonders why so many think tanks and other paid ‘expert’ advice is necessary when all advice and conclusions result in WAR. (story and 1 image)

Inaction on Climate Change Invites Disaster
Dahr Jamail via claire, Friday, Dec 28 2018, 9:34pm
The 20 warmest years ever recorded have been within the last 22 years, and the four warmest of those have been 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018, according to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). The WMO has stated that if these trends continue (and there is no reason to believe they won’t), global temperatures may rise from between 3-5 degrees Celsius (3-5°C) by 2100. The organization warned that if humans exploit all known fossil fuel reserves, “the temperature rise will be considerably higher” than even those catastrophic levels. (story and 2 images)

INDOLENCE and COWARDICE, the roads to RUIN
baz, Tuesday, Dec 25 2018, 8:45pm
This Xmas I have been amused by the antics of two journalists, Chris Hedges, of 9/11 conspiracy denial infame, and John Pilger, acclaimed documentary maker and mate of Martini sipping, Julian Assange, which two have repudiated the CFR managed western mass media as being thoroughly DISHONEST, of course imputing that the mass media is nothing more than a propaganda arm of evil mass murdering elites -- WELL, DOH! The vast majority of aware citizens around the globe are acutely aware of the FACT.

Is His Asia Pullout Trump's last Death Twitch?
Tom Luongo via stacey, Monday, Dec 24 2018, 8:20pm
With his shock announcement of a rapid pullout of all US troops from Syria and Afghanistan Donald Trump finally became President. The neocons called him that when he bombed the Al-Shairat airbase in April 2017, a move I said at the time was the biggest geopolitical blunder in years. (story and 1 image)

7000 US Troops to leave Afghanistan
ned, Monday, Dec 24 2018, 7:12pm
The no-win war in Afghanistan appears to be grinding Washington into submission. Hot on the heels of Trump's Syria withdrawal, Trump ordered a massive reduction of the US troop presence in Afghanistan; it appears that half the occupation force -- 7000 troops -- is to return home either for redeployment, most likely, or for other political reasons, namely, Trump is desperate to appease his support base as other forces close in to unseat his presidency. Though informed opinion, considering war hawks Bolton and Pompeo are advising Trump, would indicate that things are not what they appear to be. A possible aggressive engagement is either planned for Ukraine and/or Iran -- we shall see.

The Parasitic Military Industrial Complex is in Financial Collapse Due to MISMANAGEMENT
Alan MacLeod via sean, Sunday, Dec 23 2018, 9:20pm
$21 Trillion is unaccounted for by auditors of the Pentagon national (vampire) 'defense' system. This staggering figure is the DIRECT result of OUTSOURCING weapons development to the private sector and creating Huge security problems in the process. This corporate slush -- over $700 billion today -- funded system, where every external company goes for the money first, NOT the most advanced COMPETITIVE weapons development, will be the ruin of the nation if not remedied immediately. Even political dunce, but financially aware, Trump, criticises the enormous annual Pentagon budget as "crazy;" as a businessman he is right especially if we compare the Pentagon budget to other nations, which US budget exceeds all other nations COMBINED.

Oligarchy Is Destroying Our Society and the Planet
C.J. Polychroniou via claire, Friday, Dec 21 2018, 9:52pm
Since the onset of the Industrial Revolution, the world has experienced historically unprecedented levels of growth, with capitalism raising the standard of living of many nations. At the same time, capitalism has generated immense contradictions (exploitation of labor and nature, huge economic inequalities and gross social injustices), and these traditionally have been the main foci of radical political movements advancing the vision of a just socioeconomic order. But is the era of capitalist growth now coming to an end?
