 Recovering Economy, Ay? Blow it Out Your Arse!
tom, Saturday, Aug 4 2018, 9:59pm
It is a given that every western government blames previous governments for the appalling state of the national economy, mismanagement, soaring debt, corruption, favouring minority sectors, etc, we’ve heard it all before a million times. But there’s one sure, indicator/measure that all lying politicians cannot avoid, stagnant wage growth over decades.

 The Two-edged Sword Ready to Inflict a Mortal Wound on the USA
Federico Pieraccini via sean, Saturday, Aug 4 2018, 8:37am
The transition phase we are going through, passing from a unipolar global order to a multipolar one, calls for careful observation. It is important to analyze the actions taken by two world powers, China and Russia, in defending and consolidating their sovereignty over the long term. Observing decisions taken by these two countries in recent years, we can discern a twofold strategy. One is economic, the other purely military. In both cases we observe strong cooperation between Moscow and Beijing. The merit of this alliance is paradoxically attributed to the attitude of various US administrations, from George Bush Senior through to Obama. The special relationship between Moscow and Beijing has been forged by a shared experience of Washington’s pressure over the last 25 years. (story and 1 image)

The Beginning -- Yugoslavia
Vladimir Golstein via jane, Saturday, Aug 4 2018, 7:32am
America's present imperial (neocon) course began with the illegal intervention in Yugoslavia, which nation remained independent while other European nations succumbed to American domination. Notwithstanding that Yugoslavia was formed after WWII by Marshal Tito the head of partisan forces fighting against fascism with allied forces, though Croatia, Bosnia and Albania fought with the Nazis, much to their eternal shame, but Tito was a nation builder and America is now a nation destroyer, as history verifies.

Trump the genius president for the Elites -- Take a closer View
darcy, Friday, Aug 3 2018, 9:58pm
Blithering idiot Trump is the perfect compliant president for corporations, banks and the Deep State. Consider ‘his’ tax policy, ‘his’ immigration policy, the HUGE amount of tax-payer dollars (almost a trillion) funneled into the military (weapons manufacturers that produce lemons), his environmental policies, the latest is reversing bans on bee-killing pesticides and GMOs, etc. Without much effort it becomes CLEAR as crystal that he pointedly serves the large petro-chemical/oil/gas extraction corporations, military contractors and other Big business interests. His illegal attacks on Syria, slavish relationship with Israel and proposed attacks on Iran (all neocon policies) are clearly not Trump. And who are these interests in control if not the ruling elite milieu, shadow government or deep state?

Erdogan And The EU Are On A Collision Course In The Balkans
Alon Ben-Meir via james, Thursday, Aug 2 2018, 9:50pm
Banned from promoting his dangerous Islamic agenda across the European Union, Turkish President Erdogan is now seeking to use his growing influence in the Balkans against the Western countries. Erdogan's aggressive return to the Balkans increased concerns among critics in southeastern Europe -- the region where he is pursuing more assertive policies and strategically spreading his brand of Islamist nationalism through a network of mosques and religious institutions.

Populism Rules No One Need Think Anymore
troy, Thursday, Aug 2 2018, 1:01am
Let’s face it, thinking is a strain on the brains of the enslaved public, especially in the USA, with Pakistan currently following in at a close second -- it has recently been revealed that the all powerful Pakistani military applied pressure on Pakistan’s media to ensure that pretty, political dunce, Imran Khan was elected to power, which result for Pakistanis means more of the same misery, though this time the enormous corruption and poverty plaguing that nation would be less obvious, hidden; you’ve got to feel for the desperation of the people that as yet refuse to believe that it’s all been a sham.

The Death of Investigative Journalism in Oz, Channel Nine’s Takeover of Fairfax
Binoy Kampmark via stacey, Wednesday, Aug 1 2018, 8:43pm
Media moguls Murdoch and Packer are responsible for the outrageously concentrated media that exists today in Australia, nevertheless, the last bastion of real investigative journalism, the Fairfax owned outlets, survived the onslaught for a time, today however Fairfax has succumbed to popularity, goodbye informative reporting and hello populist, meaningless media. Tit and sensationalism is how Murdoch built his global empire and as verified by the takeover company, money is now the number one consideration.
What this takeover (merger is a misnomer) represents is the cultural failing of a nation, which has all but lost its unique identity to toxic American values, the nation which is now a suitable home for Murdoch and his toxic, sensationalist media. (story and 2 images)

Russia’s Ascension to Global Military Superiority
drew, Wednesday, Aug 1 2018, 6:33am
Prior to embarking on what may be a futile textual endeavour, if mis-information is the case, Russian claims and real world demonstrations appear to have tilted the scales. No longer is the USA the world’s military No.1 if media claims both US and Russian are to be believed.

The Permanent Lie, Our Deadliest Threat
Chris Hedges via hal, Wednesday, Aug 1 2018, 12:42am
The most ominous danger we face does not come from the eradication of free speech through the obliteration of net neutrality or through Google algorithms that steer people away from dissident, left-wing, progressive or anti-war sites. It does not come from a tax bill that abandons all pretense of fiscal responsibility to enrich corporations and oligarchs and prepares the way to dismantle programs such as Social Security. It does not come from the opening of public land to the mining and fossil fuel industry, the acceleration of ecocide by demolishing environmental regulations, or the destruction of public education.

A Measure of Profound STUPIDITY
sophie, Monday, Jul 30 2018, 8:31pm
Today, religionists have gained a surprising degree of political power; in the USA it’s the Evangelicals that support Trump’s continuity as president. In the Middle East it’s extremist Wahhabi and Salafi fundamentalists that engage in religious wars. In Israel it's the extremist, fascist, Zionists that determine the nation’s violent policies. In Asia Buddhist monks lead revolutionary movements against corrupt governments and the list goes on. However, I would confine this short piece to the Abrahamic religions which lead the world in violence.

The Magnificence of Self-deception
lewis, Monday, Jul 30 2018, 8:13am
It’s magnificent due to its now pervasive global reach, the populist leader that knows jack shit about politics but sure knows how to take orders and dance in front of cameras. Sense, logic, skill, ability and political knowledge are no longer requirements for national leadership. The latest example is Pakistan, where a former cricket player and political dunce has been swept to power, of course with elite and military support, but no matter, he’s pretty and popular!

The key take away from the BRICS summit in Johannesburg is that Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa – important Global South players – strongly condemn unilateralism and protectionism.
