 America’s Chronic Addictions - Opiates, Donald Trump and War posted by Tom Engelhardt via stacey, 2018-07-09 22:40:55
When you think of addiction in America today, one thing comes to mind: the opioid epidemic. And it should. It’s serious. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, almost 64,000 Americans died of opiate overdoses in 2016 (more than died in the Vietnam War), an average of 175 people a day. In that year, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration estimated that 11.5 million Americans “misused” pain medication. (Note that such figures are still on the rise.)

The Startled Stare posted by cas, 2018-07-09 03:46:09
i had a friend once
an odd fellow that had been
rigorously molded by religion,
it matters not which, as they all separate
the forming child from its essential self
and substitute self-awareness
with all manner of crapulous fantasies
and regulatory behaviours via coercion, guilt
and fear -- religious indoctrination is tantamount
to child abuse (full story)

LUDICROUS: The USA has NEVER been placed on Trial for WAR and other crimes Against HUMANITY! posted by harry, 2018-07-06 22:22:57
Consider the fact that a nation which adheres to a "perpetual war" doctrine, in order to achieve world hegemony, has never appeared before the ICC or has never been charged with war and other crimes against humanity, and that reality after all the exposures of ILLEGAL invasive wars based on LIES and various pretexts, which wars over the past two decades have resulted in millions of innocent deaths and tens of millions more displaced citizens. Now that reality alone makes a mockery of the OBVIOUSLY rigged, politicized, farcical, international courts. It is simply impossible that the USA with its horrendous, exposed record could avoid accountability -- YET IT HAS!! (full story)

The Subversion of American Democracy posted by Michael Payne via jack, 2018-07-05 21:52:33
The following article is really an ongoing post-mortem as American democracy DIED decades past. Consider the fact of the now completely exposed lies that led America into an invasive ILLEGAL war in Iraq -- has anyone been held to account? Not on your life! That social FAILURE in itself marked a turning point, people are aware their government is corrupt to the core but refuse to hold their criminal governments accountable. It is plain that no government is able to resist the demands of the majority, however, the 'moral' majority is noted for its silence and toleration of overt criminality, and people whine about would-be dictator Trump, who couldn't survive unless the criminal ruling elites were advantaged by his presidency. And so I say R.I.P American democracy, it's over for Freedom and Liberty and the beginning of an oppressed, totalitarian State. And who is to blame? Take a look in the mirror! When the people fail their nation, their nation fails them. (full story)

 Washington Targets Rafael Correa posted by Paul Craig Roberts via cyd, 2018-07-04 22:35:16
As President of Ecuador, Rafael Correa was a Godsend for the Ecuadorian people, for Latin American independence and for WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange. By serving justice and truth instead of Washington, Correa earned Washington’s hatred and determination to destroy him. (full story)

 The Missing $21 TRILLION from Pentagon posted by David DeGraw via jane, 2018-07-04 01:22:52
Gone are the early days of corruption when Don Rumsfeld publicly announced that $2-3 trillion was unaccounted for at the Pentagon. The investigation was stifled by the fact that most of the paperwork was disintegrated when a missile/plane struck the Pentagon directly where the papers were housed, so TOO, the remainder of the papers incinerated at the government offices in WTC building 7, you remember the building that was struck by a supersonic pigeon on September 11, as nothing impacted that building, yet down it went with perfect demolition precision. But how convenient for white and military collared criminals -- the evidence was gone! (full story)
