 Corporate Carcinogens and Pollutants are Poisoning Entire Populations posted by Paul Craig Roberts via jane, 2018-08-17 20:49:48 The manic pursuit of corporate Profit is undertaken without regard to human health, social welfare and the environment. The pathological pursuit of profit overrides every other consideration including our health/lives. The adverse effects and impact of corporate pollutants and harmful products (and byproducts) can no longer be ignored; the earth and all the life it sustains are today in extreme jeopardy, which reality affirms the toxic, chemical and social REAL costs of profit without proper regulation -- that means regulation by governments and politicians that have NOT been bought/corrupted by corporate money and work in the public interest, not in the interests of the minority, unrepresentative, private sector.

 Censorship is State Denial of the Rights of Citizens to Make a Choice posted by Thomas L. Knapp via dan, 2018-08-17 05:15:55 In a recent tweet, US Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) warned that “Infowars is the tip of a giant iceberg of hate and lies that uses sites like Facebook and YouTube to tear our nation apart.” His solution: “These companies must do more than take down one website. The survival of our democracy depends on it.” (full story) prose / international
Beware America: From Boston to Ferguson to Charlottesville, The Evolution of a Police State posted by John W. Whitehead via glenn, 2018-08-17 04:49:12 “It takes a remarkable force to keep nearly a million people quietly indoors for an entire day, home from work and school, from neighborhood errands and out-of-town travel. It takes a remarkable force to keep businesses closed and cars off the road, to keep playgrounds empty and porches unused across a densely populated place 125 square miles in size. This happened … not because armed officers went door-to-door, or imposed a curfew, or threatened martial law. All around the region, for 13 hours, people locked up their businesses and ‘sheltered in place’ out of a kind of collective will. The force that kept them there wasn’t external – there was virtually no active enforcement across the city of the governor's plea that people stay indoors. Rather, the pressure was an internal one – expressed as concern, or helpfulness, or in some cases, fear – felt in thousands of individual homes.”—Journalist Emily Badger, “The Psychology of a Citywide Lockdown” (full story) prose / international
Fight Those Governments that would Destroy the Internet posted by Rand Clifford via jan, 2018-08-16 05:16:18 You are now accessing what our Department of Defense (DOD) considers an "enemy weapons system". The Internet in its present form is rife with "uncontrolled information", also known as free speech, therefore directly opposing the Pentagon’s goals. The main purpose of this article is not to announce new developments, but rather, to encourage reflection on DOD "progress", and where it might land us. (full story) prose / international
 Russian Collusion: It Was Hillary Clinton All Along posted by Editorial staff via jane, 2018-08-15 20:26:34 Smith painstakingly weaves together the evidence that's already out there but has been largely ignored by the mainstream media, which have become so seized with Trump-hatred that their reporting even on routine matters can no longer be trusted.

 The ‘News’ in One Word -- Conflict posted by daisy, 2018-08-15 19:57:52 It matters little which sources of 'news’ one views, the one common factor is CONFLICT: adversarial politics of course, environmental groups battling corporations, abortionists fighting right to lifers and ignoring a woman’s prerogative, imagining that aborting is a walk in the park, and on it goes; however, the most threatening conflicts are those that involve nations, particularly nuclear armed superpowers, which nation’s policies are at logger-heads OR presented that way, as really there's no difference in peaceful aspirations that benefit everyone BUT there's a HUGE difference in policies that only benefit the few.

Why Does Facebook Use NATO To Help Censor Users? posted by staff report via sam, 2018-08-14 23:41:34 Facebook has "hired" the Atlantic Council - a NATO, US government, and foreign funded "think tank" to determine whether posts or members are authentic or whether they are "agents of a foreign power." How is it possible that US government's directly funded entities are collaborating with corporations to decide what speech is to be prohibited? (full story) prose / international
'Potential War Crimes:' Supplying Brutal Saudi Regime with Weapons posted by Jake Johnson via dan, 2018-08-14 22:43:44 Indeed, who really is the guilty party when it is widely known that an oppressive, authoritarian, fundamentalist beheading, murderous regime would utilise advanced weaponry to slaughter -- is it the known murderous regime or those entities that supply it with weapons to mass murder innocents that incur blame and take responsibility? Of course the major offender is the suppliers of the means to slaughter. So now we should ask why are weapons manufacturers more than willing to dispose of their weapons to such regimes? The answer is obvious, amorality and MONEY combined with the pressing need to pay for manufacture through sales. Weapons are not a versatile commodity as they have a limited application, to kill and destroy. (full story) prose / international
 What If There Were No Official Narratives? posted by Caitlin Johnstone via suzie, 2018-08-13 19:40:10 One of the weirdest occurrences since the post-Iraq invasion is how the mass media has actually gotten less accountable instead of more accountable for its deceptive reporting since that time.
