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!

How BRICS Plus clashes with the US economic war on Iran
Pepe Escobar via james, Sunday, Jul 29 2018, 11:48pm
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.

Buying Assange’s Arrest
Whitney Webb via ferrite, Friday, Jul 27 2018, 10:47pm
White haired Aussie Julian Assange, perhaps more than any other individual alive is detested by the American Deep State that manically pursues his arrest and extradition in order to crucify the arrogant Aussie and hold him up as a 'slain' spectacle to others that may think they are able to compromise the OVERTLY criminal USA. And so Ecuador's new president has been bought by those interests that spare no expense when it comes to Assange's arrest/crucifixion. Quite CLEARLY sudden large US purchases of Ecuadorian oil are odd in view of history, if Assange's arrest and Moreno's compliant corruption are not taken into account. The cat is out of the bag. Which should galvanise support for beleaguered, Julian Assange, though that is a pipedream considering the mass media induced stupor of western populations. (story and 1 image)

Trump Could be Ready to Order an Illegal Strike Against Iran, Australian Government Sources Say
Andrew Probyn and Andrew Greene via lucy, Thursday, Jul 26 2018, 9:35pm
Notwithstanding the ludicrous statements made by Washington's trained Australian parrot, FM Julie Bishop, particularly Iran supporting its 'proxy fighters' in other Shia populated nations, which endeavour is the legal right to protect its people, in STARK contrast to ILLEGAL 'regime change,' as America's proxy fighters are employed to undertake, the entire notion of an unprovoked illegal attack on Iran is preposterous. Iran is EASILY able to block the transit of ALL oil tankers in the Persian Gulf thereby triggering a world wide crisis and perhaps economic collapse for numerous western nations. It also seems that Julie Bishop is 'somehow' blind (polly wants a cracker) to the fact that the USA is the world's largest supporter of criminal (extremist) proxy fighters, illegally deployed by Washington in the Middle East and North Africa, which groups are DIRECTLY responsible for the millions of refugees flooding European nations.

Western States Salvage Their Paid Terrorist Assets in Syria
Finian Cunningham via jane, Wednesday, Jul 25 2018, 7:49pm
Western allied states intervened in the Syrian war earlier this week to extricate hundreds of terrorist militants thereby exposing the filthy, sordid truth of the Syrian conflict for the WORLD to see. The militants are to be fast-tracked for resettlement in Europe and Canada.

Lost Directions
danny, Tuesday, Jul 24 2018, 9:53pm
It amuses me no end how modern man attempts to interpret ancient cave and rock ‘paintings’ with little or no appreciation of the cultural mindsets that created them. Some Australian rock paintings are tens of thousands of years old. They portray the hunt, tribal totems and the first intrusion of Europeans in the north, it should be remembered that the Dutch colonised Indonesia hundreds of years before Cook ‘discovered’ Australia, conveniently following maps and stories of Portuguese and Dutch sailors, in other words Cook discovered what was already discovered, however, British jails were overflowing and the usual dumping ground, America, was undergoing political unrest/rebellion, so newly colonised Australia became the next dumping ground for unwanted convicts, which were mercilessly put to slave labour to build a British outpost in the South Pacific from scratch.

False Notions of Being
lex, Tuesday, Jul 24 2018, 7:48am
I will not quote Shakespeare so relax, if you know how.
I am -- as is obvious as I am producing this piece, however, I could also prove I exist by producing my Birth Certificate, a piece of bloody paper in which the State places more value/recognition than the living person. In fact if I was unable to produce a certificate of my existence the State would either not recognise me or consider me a criminal or undocumented alien though clearly, I am of this world.

The Real Reason the US Must [But Won't] Talk to Russia
Pepe Escobar via don, Monday, Jul 23 2018, 8:31pm
Future historians may well identify Russian President Vladimir Putin’s landmark March 1 speech as the ultimate game-changer in the 21st-century New Great Game in Eurasia. The reason is minutely detailed in Losing Military Supremacy: The Myopia of American Strategic Planning, a new book by Russian military/naval analyst Andrei Martyanov.

"Too Dumb to Know You're Dumb" -- The Dunning-Kruger Effect
Bobby Azarian via suzie, Monday, Jul 23 2018, 6:49am
In the past, some prominent psychologists have explained President Donald Trump’s unwavering support by alluding to a well-established psychological phenomenon known as the “Dunning-Kruger effect.” The effect is a type of cognitive bias, where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they don’t have enough knowledge to know they don’t have enough knowledge. Or, stated more harshly, they are “too dumb to know they are dumb.” This simple but loopy concept has been demonstrated dozens of times in well-controlled psychology studies and in a variety of contexts. However, until now, the effect had not been studied in one of the most obvious and important realms—political knowledge.

'Never, ever threaten the United States again': Trump lashes Iran
Carol Morello via gus, Monday, Jul 23 2018, 12:27am
Trump is in his element when he involves himself in a shit fight, this time with Iran, which nation is threatened by various forms of US led economic warfare as I write. Of course Iran's president issued a defensive warning, see previous post, which allowed Trump to do what he does best, engage in hot headed, idiotic verbal attacks, remember all the crap about North Korea and its leader? And what came of that "fire and fury", sweet fuck all! However, that is not the point the real story is about media DISTRACTION. Media consultants know that when in a jam, 'the Putin summit,' pull a fake crisis out of the bag of tricks and fascinate simple minds, after all Trump is the simple minded president for a simple minded rustic nation. So will the US population fall for it again and again? Of course they will, they live in a media-induced American dreamworld. (story and 1 image)

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Sunday cautioned U.S. President Donald Trump about pursuing hostile policies against Tehran, saying "America should know ... war with Iran is the mother of all wars," but he did not rule out peace between the two countries, either.
