 The House of Saud Ready for Regime Change
celia, Sunday, Oct 14 2018, 8:34pm
Someone in the antiquated and universally loathed house of Saud has lost the plot. A recent press release outlining retaliatory action threatened by the Saudi royal family -- which would disrupt the global economy -- if the international community applied pressure on the house of Saud regarding the suspect death of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, last seen entering the Saudi embassy in Turkey.

Facebook is now a Blatant Censorship Medium
Jake Johnson via drake, Saturday, Oct 13 2018, 2:11am
In the early days of CIA supported and formulated Facebook it was dis-affectionately know as "tracebook" as its designs were such that a user/subscriber helped authorities by listing all his/her 'friends' -- it sure took the footwork out of police investigations. However, today it has gone to the next (anticipated) stage by embracing deep state attitudes to dissenting information which exposes the lies of dominant media narratives fed to the public by the elite owned mass media -- remember the huge sell of the ILLEGAL Iraq invasion, which alternative media outlets investigated and exposed? Well, that process has now been deemed an enemy of deep state/elite interests and so it was a simple matter to enlist the services of Facebook and Google to immediately either ban or background certain sites or material. After all 'we' can't have people telling the truth in a world of myths, division and lies! (story and 1 image)

Andre Damon via gayle, Thursday, Oct 11 2018, 9:54pm
Over the past two weeks, with next to no media coverage, the United States has moved substantially closer toward open military confrontation with both Russia and China, the second and third-ranked nuclear powers in the world.

A media war explodes in Australia
Lachlan Colquhoun via jan, Thursday, Sep 27 2018, 10:17am
This particular war is primarily located in the offices of Australia's public broadcaster, the ABC. However, one particular 'external' player should not be ignored, media mogul Rupert Murdoch, who appears obsessed with privatising the ABC, fragmenting and selling it off as separate units, which would allow for little competition against the Murdoch media empire, and that fact should never be underestimated. Indeed it was Murdoch who made an emergency trip on his private jet to Oz to commandeer his papers with the view of ousting former PM Malcolm Turnbull. Be assured, no-one would be happier if the ABC was fragmented and privatised. (story and 2 images)

The Neoliberal Order is Dying -- A New Paradigm is Required
Jonathan Cook via gayle, Wednesday, Sep 26 2018, 10:13am
In my recent essay, I argued that power in our societies resides in structure, ideology and narratives – supporting what we might loosely term our current “neoliberal order” – rather than in individuals. Significantly, our political and media classes, who are of course deeply embedded in this neoliberal structure, are key promoters of the very opposite idea: that individuals or like-minded groups of people hold power; that they should, at least in theory, be held accountable for the use and misuse of that power; and that meaningful change involves replacing these individuals rather than fundamentally altering the power-structure they operate within.

The UN Ridicules and Openly Laughs at the President of the USA -- UNPRECEDENTED!
drake, Tuesday, Sep 25 2018, 9:48pm
It seems that the world's most notable -- Donald Trump -- sufferer of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), which primary symptoms are grandiose delusions about SELF and the pathological need for adoration/recognition, which manifest as pathological LYING among other obvious personality flaws/pathologies, have collided with REALITY. Donald Trump was openly ridiculed and laughed at by WORLD leaders while delivering a fantasy-laden speech about himself at the UN, a stage that no politician wishes to fail on. (story and 1 image)

Take a Good Hard Look at Yourself, AMERICA
Jon Queally via cyd, Monday, Sep 24 2018, 7:24pm
The Vietnam war resulted in over 4 million peasant and innocent civilian deaths based on a false flag 'Gulf of Tonkin Incident,' yet no American official was brought before International criminal courts. The Iraq war based on outrageous orchestrated LIES of WMD resulted in over 1 million innocent civilian deaths, notwithstanding the 500,000 CHILDREN that died due to American imposed sanctions and embargoes on medical supplies, however, not one responsible lying official was held to account though the entire world is aware of the criminality of that unnecessary war. Add to that heinous record other wars based on similar pretexts in Libya, Syria and Yemen and the entire picture is ugly to the extreme YET not one American war criminal has ever been held to account.

Syria's Criminal Interventionist War
Mark Taliano via jane, Monday, Sep 24 2018, 6:39pm
There is a great deal of discussion about saving civilian lives in Syria, as there should be. Missing from the discussion, however, is the most important point. If Western policymakers were genuinely concerned about saving civilians, they would not have waged this Regime Change war in the first place.

Race to Extinction -- Climate Projections: A World on Borrowed Time
Dr. Andrew Glikson via james, Monday, Sep 24 2018, 6:01pm
Current temperature trajectories are on par with or exceed the IPCC’s dangerous projections (Figure 1). Acting as the lungs of the biosphere, over tens of millions of years the atmosphere developed an oxygen-rich carbon-low composition, allowing the flourishing of mammals. The anthropogenic release to the atmosphere to date of more than 600 Gigaton of carbon (GtC) is reversing this trend, threatening to return the Earth to conditions which preceded the emergence of modern life forms, including humans.

The Great Aversion Plague
stacey, Monday, Sep 24 2018, 12:00am
TRUTH today is largely rejected in favour of warm fuzzy lies that speak to one’s own delusions of ‘identity,’ which is created by culture, if one cares to trace the source within mind of all personal pronouns, I, me, mine, etc. This dichotomous relationship, identity-culture, is therefore easily exploited by those aware of the great aversion to uncomfortable REAL truths; entire populations subscribe to fictions and the false realities they engender, notwithstanding that the lead and reins of control emanate from the mass and digital media.

Hegel: The only thing we learn from history is that we learn nothing from history
Martin Sieff via claire, Saturday, Sep 22 2018, 7:36am
American leaders, politicians, policymakers and pundits are fond of talking about the “Unipolar Moment” and “Hyper Power” position that they imagine the United States enjoys in the world. Totally lacking from this fantasy are any inconvenient historical facts.

The Decade of a Rising China: 10 Years After the Financial Crisis
Jenny Clegg via james, Saturday, Sep 22 2018, 6:57am
It is 10 years in September since Lehman Brothers went bankrupt bringing global capitalism to the point of collapse. Although the crash did not finally lead to a total meltdown, it triggered a slump of 1930s proportions and for most economies the last decade has been a lost decade of low growth, low investment, low productivity, marked by debt and deficit, with virtually no improvement in real incomes for the 90 per cent.

Astounding Revelation from NYT Regarding the Gross Incompetence of US Intel Agencies
lex, Saturday, Sep 22 2018, 12:25am
Indeed, the New York Times -- a megaphone of the deep state -- has done it again, that is, unintentionally reveal how the world’s largest funded regulatory and intelligence agencies have failed to perform even up to basic expectations, yet they continue to be lavishly supported for their failures by enormous tax-payer funds for no good reason. A complete clean-out of these dysfunctional agencies is now clearly warranted.

Yet Another Staggering US Hypocrisy -- Pompeo Dismisses Holocaust in Yemen Favouring Arms Sales
Adam K. Raymond via shirl, Thursday, Sep 20 2018, 9:45pm
The International Criminal Court has nowhere to hide today. Mike Pompeo recently overruled his own administration regarding 'humanitarian' concerns in Syria if the legitimate Syrian government proceeded with its duty to rid the nation of extremist terrorist groups in Idlib, which are supported by Saudi Arabia, Israel, Turkey, Jordan and the CIA; however, Pompeo clearly supports the ongoing HUMANITARIAN CRISIS in Yemen. We have just heard from US administrative official, James Jeffrey, who stated that the USA would attack the Syrian government and its Russian ally if it, "creates refugee flows or attacks innocent civilians." Which means that it's OK if the USA does it but no-one else. The Yemen holocaust being the current case in point. (story and 1 image)

Washington Pushes Putin's Cowardice Yet Again -- The US has NO LEGAL RIGHT to Interfere in Syria
Paul Craig Roberts via gus, Thursday, Sep 20 2018, 6:50pm
The provocations that Putin invites are now escalating. Peter Ford, former British ambassador to Syria, points out that Washington has quickly taken advantage of Putin’s hesitancy in Syria to escalate the pretexts on which Washington will launch a military attack on the Syrian forces. Formerly Washington’s pretext was to be a false flag “chemical attack” that would be blamed on Syria. Washington’s new pretext precludes the liberation of Idlib as Washington has declared that any attempted liberation of the province from Washington’s terrorist allies will result in a US military attack on Syria. Indeed, even a refugee flow whether or not caused by a Syrian attack is deemed to be a “humanitarian issue” that justifies a US military attack on Syria. President Trump’s Special Envoy for Syria, James Jeffrey, just announced that the United States will not tolerate an attack, period. (story and 1 image)
