 The Establishment’s Bi-Partisan Fear of Popular Revolt
Gareth Porter via janice, Friday, Sep 7 2018, 10:29pm
The two most powerful think tanks in Washington, representing center-left and center-right political elites, have responded to the populist shocks of the 2016 presidential election by trying to reposition themselves and the Democratic and Republican Parties as more sympathetic to populist concerns even while maintaining their attachments to the interests of big business and the complex of war-making.

Op-Ed, Woodward and Moore: How the USA Lost the World
claire, Friday, Sep 7 2018, 9:12pm
Typical of navel-gazing Americans they imagine that the recent NYT op-ed, purportedly revealing an internal “resistance” to the President of the nation by his own administration, is an internal matter. NOT so, this piece regardless of its source was published by one of America’s most respected media outlets, The New York Times (NYT), therefore it carries considerable weight world-wide and what an appalling, self-destructive publication the op-ed is!

 Mike Pence is the Traitorous Fall Guy
jude, Friday, Sep 7 2018, 1:26am
This story is predicated on the assumption that there is indeed a ‘single person’ responsible for the NYT outrageous op-ed. However, clearly no-one ever goes out alone on a traitorous limb such as described in the NYT op-ed. Rather that person is led to believe they have strong support from deep state ranks and other players in the Trump admin, though clearly it is extremely naive to believe that the chosen ‘sacrificial lamb’ -- as exposure is a certainty -- would be supported openly, which would jeopardise more careers than one, and in Washington it’s all about career advancement, so goodbye naive fall guy/SUCKER, you have been politically conned.

How to Extend the Trump Presidency in one Easy Lesson
lex, Wednesday, Sep 5 2018, 10:28pm
The following analysis is the outcome of two highly specialised textual and cultural analysts. Readers would be best served if the analysis is inserted in bold text brackets of the NYT absurd and TRANSPARENT propaganda pitch itself. Indeed, the Deep State must be worried as Trump is THEIR man in office as 'his' policies so blatantly indicate, and that is why he remains president and would continue as such for some time to come.

Beyond Treason -- Bob Woodward's New Book on Trump
Kevin Breuninger via james, Tuesday, Sep 4 2018, 8:45pm
Bob Woodward's exposé of Trump's lunacy is nothing new, the entire world is aware that Trump is severely psychologically flawed/sick, in the clinical sense. BUT does a pathological nation deserve a pathological leader? Of course it does, it's simply a matter of consequence. So what is the reality behind the story? Again simplicity itself. We cannot expect a person or nation suffering extreme psychological fragmentation/illness to be aware of the causes of their SICKNESS, so to the few sane Americans I would state very simply to read ancient Roman history and follow how that empire failed from within. The USA is simply a repeat performance of the fate of corrupt, criminal empires where ruling elites unconsciously subvert their own nation/empire's interests due principally to self-seeking. It really is that simple! (story and 2 images)

Syria: Allied Chemical Attack Farce/Pretext Exposed
Ron Paul via gayle, Tuesday, Sep 4 2018, 6:42pm
After neocon John Bolton, who clearly has not learned any new tricks since the 9/11 false flag, threatened an allied attack on Syria if Assad used chemical weapons -- which he does not possess -- and after Russia submitted proof to the UN of a US/allied false flag attack in order to protect their extremist proxy fighters in Idlib, the 'emperor' is seen as having no clothes. The false flag ruse is now completely shot to ribbons. Failing the usual pretext the USA/and puppet Trump have now resorted to direct threats/warnings to Syrian government forces and its allies not to route US paid and trained terrorists from Idlib -- if this wasn't a tragic war scenario it would be a comic circus, and that dear readers is the true face of CRIMINAL, 'perpetual war' America today.

The Buddhist Monk Who Became an Apostle for Sexual Freedom
Donald S. Lopez Jr. via mia, Tuesday, Sep 4 2018, 5:42am
Not spitefully binding or beating someone,
Not cruelly stabbing someone with a spear;
Passion is offered to a passionate human.
It may not be a virtue, but how could it be a sin?

The Rise of the Cyber Mercenaries
Neri Zilber via ben, Monday, Sep 3 2018, 10:44am
The first text message showed up on Ahmed Mansoor’s phone at 9:38 on a sweltering August morning in 2016. “New secrets about torture of Emiratis in state prisons,” it read, somewhat cryptically, in Arabic. A hyperlink followed the words. Something about the number and the message, and a similar one he received the next day, seemed off to Mansoor, a well-known human rights activist in the United Arab Emirates. He resisted the impulse to click on the links.

The Surveillance Economy and its Discontents
Alexei Goldstein via dulcie, Monday, Sep 3 2018, 8:16am
In 2016, Amazon Web Services released Rekognition, a service that lets users analyze digital imagery in order to identify objects, including faces, based on a machine-learning algorithm. The company has touted uses for this product that include identifying triggering content in images, determining emotions in an image, cashier-less grocery stores (which they have implemented in Amazon Go) — and, most worrisome, “public safety.” (story and 1 image)

Google Reportedly Bought People's Banking Data In Secret, And That Isn't Even The Bad News
Adam Clark Estes via gus, Monday, Sep 3 2018, 7:44am
In a post-capitalistic world that seems very specifically and violently designed to rip off the poor for the benefit of the rich, spending money is complicated. But at least, until recently, you could live without fear that some multibillion-dollar Silicon Valley giant would buy up your banking data in order to serve you more effective ads.

Extra-judicial Kill Lists: Murder by Algorithm
Tom Emswiler and Will Isenberg via jane, Monday, Sep 3 2018, 12:03am
The USA ILLEGALLY murders anyone it chooses anywhere in the world. Those SECRETLY selected for execution are the unlucky 'winners' of an insentient mathematical formula/lottery, known as an algorithm. It should be noted that algorithms cannot think or judge, it's limited mathematics at work that determines who is to live or die; and if you think that reality is an outrage you would be right, extra-judicial kill lists are grossly illegal by name and nature, the RESPONSIBILITY for this American CRIMINAL outrage falls squarely on the shoulders of International Courts as kill lists more often than not, target citizens from a host of nations. Law abiding nations should immediately test, in international courts, ANY nation that imagines itself ABOVE the LAW, it really is that simple.

The Weaponization of the US Dollar

The Iranian rial: crash. The Turkish lira: crash. The Argentine peso: crash. The Brazilian real: crash. There are multiple, complex, parallel vectors at play in this wilderness of crashing currencies. Turkey’s case is heavily influenced by the bubble of easy credit created by European banks.

Leaders and Followers
lex, Saturday, Sep 1 2018, 9:08pm
This situation prevails today as it has throughout human history -- the need of the weak to follow the strong. This became the most popular model when REAL leaders led their groups/tribes/nations by EXAMPLE and fought wars on the front line with their followers who were proud to fight for the cause that leaders espoused. We note the historical record in this regard, ancient Greek heroes, the foremost of which was Alexander. Roman Caesars who led their conquering armies and expanded the empire until it was subverted from within by money/corruption and the destructive intrigues of WEAK men’s politics.

Provocations Have A History Of Escalating Into War
Paul Craig Roberts via jan, Friday, Aug 31 2018, 11:06pm
The following article by Paul Craig Roberts is worth a read if only to demonstrate how naivety and personal bias are able to distort one's perception of REALITY. Mr Roberts has failed to address Putin's enormous personal WEALTH in the hundreds of $millions which is ferreted away in WESTERN banks and western offshore tax havens and he should note that Swiss banks that have no difficulty freezing $5 billion in Russian assets NEVER touch Putin's filthy corruption cash assets, which could never be earned as a Russian politician. So the case for corruption by globalist interests that rule the USA, is HUGE. (story and 2 images)

Sickening: Australia's new Conservative PM, Scott Morrison Bans Entry of Chelsea Manning
Jon Queally via stacey, Thursday, Aug 30 2018, 10:59pm
Australia's clearly UNREPRESENTATIVE conservative political party, only weeks out of one of the most appalling internal leadership spills in the country's history, has immediately demonstrated to VOTERS that the new PM neither respects nor represents Australia's love of free speech AND acquiring information by banning whistleblower Chelsea Manning from the country to give talks; an APPALLING but expected action from the new arch-conservative, treasonous Washington lap dog, Scott Morrison. Either this man is blind to the electoral consequences of his clearly UN-AUSTRALIAN action or he is aware that the party is finished in the next federal poll and has decided to acquiesce to Washington's desires to gag a person whose only 'crime' is exposing REAL U.S. war, and other crimes against humanity. Australians would soon have their say at the POLLS. (story and 1 image)

Big Telecoms on Verge of Net Neutrality Defeat in California
