  The DNC Debates are a Sham posted by Renee Parsons via cyd, 2019-09-13 21:37:13
In the aftermath of the third Presidential Democratic National Committee (DNC) debate, it was mind boggling that viewers were forced to suffer through a rehash of the same, worn out regurgitations that had already been harangued previously. There was no stunning moment where a Star stepped forward as in the two earlier debates, nor any momentous policy pronouncements worth pondering. (full story)

 In View of Bolton's Failures in Venezuela, Iran, Afghanistan and Russia, Pompeo Must be Next to Fall posted by Andrew Korybko via alice, 2019-09-11 00:30:06
Trump’s decision to fire Bolton likely stemmed from the latter’s string of failures in Venezuela, Iran, Afghanistan, and Russia, with the American President finally realizing that enough is enough and that he needs to once again shuffle the “deep state” deck if he’s to start “winning” on the hard power foreign policy front ahead of next year’s elections.

Goodbye Democracy --The Fascism Under which We Live Today posted by Paul Edwards via gus, 2019-09-06 00:53:33
If daymare isn’t a word, it should be. We’re living one. And the shameless, infantile ugliness that rules America today was predicted by visionaries and poets long ago. H.L. Mencken nailed it nearly a century back:
“Before small electorates, a first-rate man occasionally fights his way through, carrying the mob with him by force of personality. But when the field is nationwide all odds are on the man most devious and mediocre—who can most easily disperse the notion that his mind is a virtual vacuum. The Presidency tends to go to such men. As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.” (full story)

Forget the Russians [media distractions]: It’s the Federal Reserve Meddling in Our Elections posted by Ron Paul via cyd, 2019-09-03 19:45:38
The US Constitution never granted the federal government authority to create a central bank. The Founders, having lived through hyperinflation themselves, understood that government should never have a [unregulated money] printing press at its disposal. But from the very beginning of America’s founding, the desire for a crony central bank was strong. (full story)

The end of the dollar as we know it posted by Andy Langenkamp via suzie, 2019-09-02 20:46:36
Current uncertainty and worries are clearly reflected in the financial markets. Investors are fleeing into assets that are deemed safe, such as gold, U.S. Treasuries and the dollar. They still flock to the U.S. on a massive scale, whereas a lot of the current insecurity derives directly from the White House. At the same time, we are seeing more and more commentaries around the question of whether a shift is taking place, slowly but surely, from the dollar toward other currencies. (full story)

 Is the Fed Preparing to Topple US Dollar [with Massive Global Recession]? posted by F. William Engdahl via stella, 2019-09-02 00:07:20
Unusual remarks and actions by the outgoing head of the Bank of England and other central banking insiders strongly suggest that there is a very ugly scenario in the works to end the role of the US dollar as world reserve currency. In the process, this would involve that the Fed deliberately triggers a dramatic economic depression. If this scenario is actually deployed in coming months, Donald Trump will go down in history books as the second Hebert Hoover, and the world economy will be pushed into the worst collapse since the 1930s. Here are some elements worth considering. (full story)

The Oligarchy’s Plans for Our Future Keep Getting Dumber posted by Caitlin Johnstone via jess, 2019-09-01 00:08:51
It’s rare to get a billionaire to share their grand plans for the future, which is weird because billionaires pretty much rule the world. Whenever they do, though, it’s always something incredibly sociopathic, like replacing all jobs with billionaire-owned automation/AI and giving people a Universal Basic Income set by the billionaire-owned government. Or loading all the humans onto rocket ships and sending them to live on Amazon Space Dildos. (full story)

Plato's Allegory of the Cave posted by S. Marc Cohen via james, 2019-08-31 22:35:50
In the allegory, Plato likens people untutored in the Theory of Forms to prisoners chained in a cave, unable to turn their heads. All they can see is the wall of the cave. Behind them burns a fire. Between the fire and the prisoners there is a parapet, along which puppeteers can walk. The puppeteers, who are behind the prisoners, hold up puppets that cast shadows on the wall of the cave. The prisoners are unable to see these puppets, the real objects, that pass behind them. What the prisoners see and hear are shadows and echoes cast by objects that they do not see. Here is an illustration of Plato’s Cave (full story)

 The Myth of More Money More Military Power posted by Melvin Goodman via joan, 2019-08-31 21:26:24
Russia over the past few decades has outperformed America in high tech devastating weapons development in the most critical areas of modern warfare, air, sea (submersible missiles), space and particularly cyber space. Allied jet pilots have reported the sudden loss of instrumentation (control) while flying over Russian installations, so too Israeli fighter pilots. Russia and China on the smell of an oil rag, comparatively speaking, have leapt ahead of the profit obsessed US corporate model, proving that necessity and ingenuity are the primary driving factors for advanced development of weapons and other advanced utilities, NOT money. Nevertheless, due primarily to media misinformation and propaganda, America continues to IMAGINE itself as the leading military nation of the world, which today is utter crap. The Sino-Russian alliance is by far the stronger force compared to the US-NATO alliance, fact! A little research easily verifies that reality. (full story)
