  Climate Catastrophe: NASA Scientist Blasts Complacency posted by Oliver Milman via jenny, 2018-06-19 22:23:06
The privately owned and shaped mass media is obsessively focused on petty, idiot 'news' as usual, Trump and other matters that do not concern the majority. However, climate change, now becoming a real catastrophe, CONCERNS ALL HUMANITY as its impact would be more than catastrophic. For instance, one third of the Great Barrier Reef is already DEAD due to climate change, numerous island nations in the Pacific have already been impacted by sea level changes, huge ice shelves in the Arctic and Antarctic are melting at an alarming rate, and the list goes on, particularly the impact on all our oceans and vital fish resources. But what is the mass media focused on? Trump and other non-critical idiotic political matters while climate barely rates a mention. The following comments from a specialist should alarm everyone, and hopefully galvanise the pathetic, irrelevant mass media to focus on critical matters that affect us all rather than irrelevancies and titillation.

US Provides Military Assistance to 73 Percent of World’s Dictatorships posted by Rich Whitney via brian, 2018-06-15 23:15:55
For decades, the American people have been repeatedly told by their government and corporate-run media that acts of war ordered by their president have been largely motivated by the need to counter acts of aggression or oppression by “evil dictators.” We were told we had to invade Iraq because Saddam Hussein was an evil dictator. We had to bomb Libya because Muammar Gaddafi was an evil dictator, bent on unleashing a “bloodbath” on his own people. Today, of course, we are told that we should support insurgents in Syria because Bashar al-Assad is an evil dictator, and we must repeatedly rattle our sabers at North Korea’s Kim Jong-un and Russia’s Vladimir Putin because they, too, are evil dictators.

 FBI James Comey Emulated Hillary Clinton's Criminal Email Behaviour posted by Elizabeth Preza via jenny, 2018-06-14 22:35:35
Former FBI director James Comey used his personal email to conduct official FBI business, even as he publicly criticized Hillary Clinton over her use of a personal email during her time as Secretary of State.
Well at least Comey is now aware of the old adage that, "people that live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones". Neither Clinton nor Comey have any credibility whatsoever. (full story)

Reality is an Orphan: The 'Dream'world Challenge for Americans posted by Paul Street via nancy, 2018-06-14 21:51:23
It’s no wonder that most Americans are clueless about why “their” country is feared and hated the world over. It remains unthinkable to this day, for example, that any respectable “mainstream” U.S. media outlet would tell the truth about why the United States atom-bombed the civilian populations of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. As Gar Alperovitz and other historians have shown, Washington knew that Japan was defeated and ready to surrender at the end of World War II. The ghastly civilian killing atomic attacks were meant to send a signal to Soviet Russia about the post-WWII world: “We run the world. What we say goes.” (full story)

 SUMMIT: Trump, "way out of his depth" -- because he lacks Depth/knowledge posted by Cody Fenwick via gayle, 2018-06-13 01:48:07
As President Donald Trump portrays his meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un as a major success, actual experts in foreign policy and diplomacy have a very different perspective.
"I don't think he knows much about, quite frankly, anything when it comes to foreign affairs, national security, even a thing like the war games," said former CIA Director John Brennan of Trump on MSNBC's "Deadline: White House" on Tuesday. (full story)
