 A Tale of Two Summits posted by Finian Cunningham via dulcimer, 2018-06-13 01:14:05
It’s almost a surreal spectacle to see the world order shifting before our very eyes. The sight of the Western G7 summit collapsing in acrimony at the weekend was in stark contrast to a positive, resplendent Shanghai Cooperation Organization conference hosted at the same time in China. (full story)

  Summit: 'NORTH KOREA CAME OUT ON TOP' posted by jack, 2018-06-12 23:56:35
The following is an excerpt from the Oz mass media but it should never be forgotten that Trump's pathological need for recognition is greater than all other factors combined; so the ruling Washington neocons and the Pentagon have a problem on their hands. If Trump refuses to see reason then anything could happen to HIM! (full story)

North Korea-U.S. Singapore Summit -- some progress posted by Jake Johnson via jon, 2018-06-12 06:57:14
Some perspective is required. Consider how important the prospect of success/PEACE on the peninsular would be to an ego like Trump's. Instead of going down in history as one of the world's most inept and ignorant political leaders, he could instead go down in history as achieving Peace with North Korea, something no president before him imagined was possible. Indeed, it would be an outstanding achievement if Trump succeeded. However, his handlers are not yet ready to retreat from their impossible unacceptable demands for any leader, complete de-nuclearisation with constant monitoring/verification -- and after that is confirmed goodbye Kim and his hierarchy, similar to Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein -- America has PROVEN it CAN'T be TRUSTED and Kim is fully aware.

The Assassination of Truth in the West posted by Paul Craig Roberts via gayle, 2018-06-12 05:33:37
Nowhere in the Western world is truth respected. Even universities are imposing censorship and speech control. Governments are shutting down, and will eventually criminalize, all explanations that differ from official ones. The Western world no longer has a print and TV media. In its place there is a propaganda ministry for the ruling elite. (full story)

There's a special place in hell for those that Defy our Moron president! posted by staff report via kate, 2018-06-10 23:55:38
After President Donald Trump drove the U.S. into an all-out trade war with Canada on Saturday with his Twitter outburst threatening to hit America's northern neighbor with even more punitive tariffs, Trump's top trade adviser Peter Navarro placed blame for soaring tensions entirely on Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in an interview on Sunday and warned "there's a special place in hell" for those who cross the president.

 Trump Dressed Down by World Leaders at G7 leaving Kim Jong Un Smiling posted by gerry, 2018-06-10 23:23:12
When a political and social ignoramus is sent to a meeting with other world leaders that know their stuff, the outcome is assured, the ignoramus, armed only with the social/political awareness of a gnat, would have no intelligent answers to provide in defence of his regressive policies and that is exactly what occurred at the G7, which embarrassing occurrence forced Trump to return home with his tail between his legs after the Canadian prime minister delivered the brutal final blow. Though of course the privately owned partial mass media attributed the early exit to preparation for the summit with Kim Jong Un in Singapore, but as we all should know by now, clueless Trump is told what to do and say by his handlers, foremost among them, John Bolton, arch-neoconservative from the Bush era, which makes sense as it is the neoconservatives that determine foreign policy in Washington.

 IGNORE Trump posted by Dr. Steve, 2018-06-09 23:12:23
Sufferers of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) crave attention and they will do ANYTHING to get it like the spoiled infants they are, and we should have all witnessed the seeding pathology of spoiled infants, which in adults manifests as psychopathology and sociopathology.
It is no secret that the world's most infamous sufferer of NPD is Donald Trump whose antics and infantile behaviour are classic textbook examples of NPD. (full story)

Though I must explain. Peter Kropotkin was a Russian naturalist and anarchist, his anarchist philosophy largely resulting from his observations of socal species in nature and how they cooperate for the common good/survival of all. (full story)
