Chelsea Manning clearly won't be bullied by the federal government. (full story) prose / international
UN Report on Venezuela Ignored by Western Mass Media posted by Paul Craig Roberts via jane, 2019-03-08 22:39:31 Don’t you think something is fishy when the presstitutes orchestrate a fake news “humanitarian crisis” in Venezuela, but totally ignore the real humanitarian crises in Yemen and Gaza?

Trump Absurdly Asks Germany and Japan To Pay For Being Occupied posted by Moon of Alabama via steve, 2019-03-08 22:00:09 Trump's lunatic proposition will be fun to watch FAIL. However, due to the crumbling paper petro-dollar hegemony, the USA is now forced to extract payments anywhere it can, so it has chosen 'allies' which it thinks are easily managed/intimidated and are 'safe' extortion targets; well America may be in for a rude shock -- the world is steadily dumping un-viable paper dollars as this piece is being posted and allied leaders are loath to sacrifice their careers to absurd US demands.

"I will stand by my principles" -- Gutsy Chelsea Manning posted by Julia Conley via lex, 2019-03-07 19:29:03 Indeed, it is character, conviction and principle that have served Chelsea Manning throughout her tortuous ordeals at the hands of the most corrupt, mass murdering, criminal State in the world today, America. Anyone that has followed her case from the beginning could not help but admire this modern hero/heroine, her character and courage in this modern corrupt age are exceptional.

 America’s Trust in Mainstream Media Hits Rock Bottom posted by Robert Bridge via gayle, 2019-03-06 22:59:35 Gone are the days when US consumers looked to the nightly news and print media as a trusted source of information, and especially if they hold conservative views, according to a new poll by the Columbia Journalism Review.

 Toilet PAPER Politics posted by james, 2019-03-06 21:49:03 Today the USA as a nation is failing on EVERY FRONT domestically (social dis-integration) and internationally, dominance/influence fading at speed. Now, there is always cause and effect for any change, and we are easily able to trace the reasons why. (full story) prose / international
An Atheist’s Reflections on Jesus Christ posted by sybil, 2019-03-06 00:19:34 Now, isn’t the title surprising, how could a non-believer involve themselves in Jesus? Easy, due to the large influence Christianity has had on the world. I have read the New Testament four times and studied it, furthermore, I have also studied the major belief systems of the East, for the very same reasons, and how very sweet they ALL are if one approaches them as pedagogic texts, not fogged out fantasies in the belief of an unattainable God, magic (the implausible, flying etc) and supra-normal.

 Giving the Bomb to Saudi Arabia’s Dr. Strangelove posted by Chris Hedges via stella, 2019-03-04 18:12:58 The most dangerous foreign policy decision of the Trump administration—and I know this is saying a lot—is its decision to share sensitive nuclear technology with Saudi Arabia and authorize U.S. companies to build nuclear reactors in that country. I spent seven years in the Middle East. I covered the despotic, repressive kingdom as the Middle East bureau chief for The New York Times. And I, along with most Arabists in the United States, have little doubt that giving a nuclear capability to Saudi Arabia under the leadership of the ruthless and amoral Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman would see it embark on a nuclear weapons program and eventually share weaponized technology with Saudi allies and proxies that include an array of radical jihadists and mortal enemies of America. A nuclearized Saudi Arabia is a grave existential threat to the Middle East and ultimately the United States. (full story) prose / international

 US Urges ‘Calm’ While Stoking India-Pakistan Conflict posted by SCF Editorial via james, 2019-03-01 19:06:34 Prior to reading the repost below, it should be noted that US power and influence in the world are in rapid decline, as is well known. Contributors to this site warned of US interference against its two main competitors, Russia and China, by fomenting a major conflict in Asia and thereby disrupting plans to integrate Eurasia with the New Silk Road project (BRI) initiated by China. A failed provocation by Washington puppet Ukraine of Russia in the Azov Sea is one clear example. (full story) prose / international
 Israel's role in India’s escalating conflict with Pakistan posted by Robert Fisk via jaxie, 2019-02-28 22:18:55 When I heard the first news report, I assumed it was an Israeli air raid on Gaza. Or Syria. Airstrikes on a “terrorist camp” were the first words. A “command and control centre” destroyed, many “terrorists” killed. The military was retaliating for a “terrorist attack” on its troops, we were told. (full story) prose / international
What Does It Take to Destroy a World Order? posted by Alfred W. McCoy via jason, 2019-02-28 21:33:30 Once upon a time in America, we could all argue about whether or not U.S. global power was declining. Now, most observers have little doubt that the end is just a matter of timing and circumstance. Ten years ago, I predicted that, by 2025, it would be all over for American power, a then-controversial comment that’s commonplace today. Under President Donald Trump, the once “indispensable nation” that won World War II and built a new world order has become dispensable indeed. (full story) prose / international
