 Trump Has No Character, Principles or Courage and World Leaders Know it!
Ron Paul via gus, Wednesday, Dec 5 2018, 12:01am
After a week of insisting that a meeting with Putin on the sidelines of the G20 meeting in Argentina was going to happen, President Trump at the last minute sent out a Tweet explaining that due to a Russia/Ukraine dispute in the Sea of Azov he would no longer be willing to meet his Russian counterpart.

 Dictatorships and Enlightened Centralist (Permanent) Governments Work
lex, Monday, Dec 3 2018, 10:02pm
A recent article comparing the clearly failing American democratic model to the immensely ‘successful’ (needs qualification) Chinese traditional dictatorship model was published on a popular alternative media aggregation site (of all places) recently.

Trump's Trade Wars and Sanctions -- The Latest Architect of Imperial Disaster
Alfred W. McCoy via gus, Monday, Dec 3 2018, 8:29am
As Washington’s leadership fades more quickly than anyone could have imagined and a new global order struggles to take shape, a generation of leaders has crowded onto the world stage with their own bold geopolitical visions for winning international influence. Xi Xinping has launched his trillion-dollar “Belt and Road Initiative” to dominate Eurasia and thereby the world beyond. To recover the Soviet Union’s lost influence, Vladimir Putin seeks to shatter the Western alliance with cyberwar, while threatening to dominate a nationalizing, fragmenting Eastern Europe through raw military power. The Trump White House, in turn, is wielding tariffs as weapons to try to beat recalcitrant allies back into line and cripple the planet’s rising power, China. However bizarrely different these approaches may seem, they all share one strikingly similar feature: a reliance on the concept of “geopolitics” to guide their bids for global power.

De-Recognition of Kosovo: US Tries to Stem the Tide
Wayne Madsen via steve, Monday, Dec 3 2018, 7:57am
The international community is accustomed to the so-called “checkbook diplomacy” that has been used by China and Taiwan to pilfer each other’s diplomatic allies by exchanging diplomatic recognition for generous financial assistance packages. However, this same battle for diplomatic recognition and de-recognition is being played out between Serbia and its breakaway province of Kosovo. The United States and much of NATO has not only granted Kosovo diplomatic recognition over the objection of Serbia but has also pressured other countries to recognize Kosovo’s independence. This process has hit a major stumbling block amid charges from various parties that fake diplomatic letters and proclamations are being issued by nations that claim to de-recognize Kosovo. The worlds of international diplomacy and “fake news” have now been joined together.

The Time Thieves (This is NOT Science Fiction)
cyd, Sunday, Dec 2 2018, 9:40pm
Reality is only located in the NOW, as clearly yesterday has passed and tomorrow does not exist, all nature and the cosmos exist only in the now yet the mass media constantly steals us away from the present therefore nothing is done to address and remedy the horrid present of needless wars for the profit of the few, crimes against humanity committed by same, monstrous social inequalities not seen since the slaves and Pharaohs of ancient Egypt, etc; the list is endless simply because WE are not HERE to address and cure the social ills of the NOW.

Trump Praises Oz PM Morrison at G20
jane, Friday, Nov 30 2018, 8:38pm
You’re doing a “fantastic job,” as if Trump would know what day it is! Well, praise like that from an ignorant idiot is sure to help bury Morrison’s political career. Of course Morrison obediently returned the gratuitous ‘compliment,’ (curse), after all there is the existing tradition of ALL Aussie leaders knee-walking to American leaders regardless of how insane or destructive to the world Washington’s mass murdering, resource theft wars are. Indeed, Scott should’ve chosen his words carefully, considering the international context, before his supine acquiescing gestures to the leader of the world’s leading civilian killing, leading terrorist by definition, nation, notwithstanding Trump’s known ignorance of everything political.

US Mass Mobilizations: Illegal Wars and Financial/Resource Plunder
Prof. James Petras via james, Friday, Nov 30 2018, 6:46pm
Over the past three decades, the US government has engaged in over a dozen wars, none of which have evoked popular celebrations either before, during or after. Nor did the government succeed in securing popular support in its efforts to confront the economic crises of 2008 – 2009.

G20: Top Agenda Item, Bye-Bye Mass Murdering American Empire
Finian Cunningham via stacey, Friday, Nov 30 2018, 6:38pm
G20 summits are nominally about how the world’s biggest national economies can cooperate to boost global growth. This year’s gathering – more than ever – shows, however, that rivalry between the US and China is center stage.

U.K. and Ecuador Conspire to Deliver Julian Assange to U.S. Authorities
Gareth Porter via james, Tuesday, Nov 27 2018, 11:39pm
The accidental revelation in mid-November that U.S. federal prosecutors had secretly filed charges against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange underlines the determination of the Trump administration to end Assange's asylum in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, where he has been staying since 2012.

China Ambassador Warns Of "Dire Consequences" If No Deal Reached, Hints At "All Out" War
Tyler Durden via stella, Tuesday, Nov 27 2018, 10:52pm
Earlier today, Trump's chief economic advisor Larry Kudlow poured cold water on expectations for an imminent resolution of the US-China trade war when he said that negotiations in the run up to this week's G-20 talks "haven't yielded any progress", and unless something changes, the "administration will move ahead with the next phase of tariffs."

A Terminally Ill Species
gayle, Monday, Nov 26 2018, 10:47pm
It staggers belief how/why the global majority are NOT up in arms about runaway climate change, which effects promise a future of catastrophic proportions even the possibility of human extinction. It’s called the lemming effect, whereby short term thinking leaders lead followers over the precipice to their deaths, the masses gleefully charging to their demise without cognitive awareness of consequences.

Reaping a Future Whirlwind -- A Big Step for a Greater Israel
Eric S. Margolis via james, Monday, Nov 26 2018, 9:16pm
Hardly anyone noticed. The Trump administration quietly changed America’s long-held position on Syria’s strategic Golan Heights while attention was focused on the raucous political carnival in Washington. Though barely noticed, the policy change had enormous importance and will lead the United States into a lot of future Mideast misery. (story and 1 image)

Damning Climate Report that Trump Admin Made Every Effort to Smother
Jake Johnson via sybil, Saturday, Nov 24 2018, 8:56pm
In a move environmentalists and journalists denounced as a blatant effort to bury facts that conflict with the president's denialism and pro-fossil fuel agenda, the Trump administration used the Friday after Thanksgiving to quietly release Volume II of the Fourth National Climate Assessment (NCA4), which warned "Earth's climate is now changing faster than at any point in the history of modern civilization" and concluded that "greenhouse gas emissions from human activities are the only factors that can account" for planet-threatening warming.

The LIVING Deferring to the Dead
steve, Friday, Nov 23 2018, 11:38pm
I was struck some years ago by a picture of a completely hidden, burka-attired, Muslim woman, holding high aloft a copy of the Koran. The message of the image was clear and simple, a living human being, holding up a dead book, written by dead men hundreds of years past and that religious fact applies to all the Abrahamic and other religions, ancient texts written by educated scribes with the sole purpose of promoting a theocratic, authoritarian agenda usually under the pain of death or at the very least banishment or social ostracism.
