The Propaganda Ministry Masquerading as 'the Free Press' posted by Paul Craig Roberts via stella, 2019-06-27 20:46:15
As many independent journos have reported on many occasions, media 'presstitutes' constitute not a free press but a Ministry of Propaganda for the government and ruling oligarchic interests. Ben Norton explains that CIA control and manipulation of the media has a long tradition, a tradition exposed by journalists who know:

Obvious Reality and the Nose on Your Face posted by stacey, 2019-06-27 20:00:01
While the mass media continues to engage in DISTRACTING the public, Americans continue to be led by it like sheep to the slaughter. So I have a couple of questions for star-spangled, nose-ringed, media morons out there. Which terrorist nation leads the world in killing innocent civilians? Answer: AMERICA! Which nation leads the world in waging illegal, preemptive wars based on LIES, pretexts, false flags and numerous other fabrications? Answer: AMERICA! So let's get REAL for a change. (full story)

Facebook May Pose a New Financial Danger Greater Than Wall Street posted by Ellen Brown via jaxie, 2019-06-26 23:21:41
Believe it or not Money flows more freely in China than it does in America and the West where currency control is at the Heart of all political and power control. The Reserve Banking Cartel, headquarters in NY, is clearly on notice as China shows the way to financial freedom, which involves removing the debt-chains that shackle/ENSLAVE entire western populations. Read the following with the focus it deserves as it involves either more draconian financial enslavement or total financial freedom outside the clutches of traditional financial power structures. Presently we are dealing with a two-edged sword, which way it cuts could be determined by the people NOT existing IT or Wall St power centers. Nevertheless, this new formula/model is clearly outlined for everyone to appreciate and possibly utilize to free the people. (full story)

Where it Began -- Balkanization and Consequences Today posted by Aleksandar Pavic via liz, 2019-06-23 23:26:30
Where to start with today’s Balkans… Now, or almost three decades ago, when the victorious West decided, as its strategic and ideological foe disintegrated, that it could fearlessly flout the post-WW II international order standing on the key pillars of respect for the territorial integrity of states and non-interference in their internal affairs as laid out in the UN Charter and the Helsinki Accords, and went about the bloody business of breaking up Yugoslavia (with Germany taking the lead). So, yes, the seeds of today’s intractable instability were indeed sown at the start of the last decade of the 20th century. And, despite (or, actually, because of) the West’s 30-year “crisis management,” not only has “lasting peace” not taken hold in the region – but new troubles are on the horizon. (full story)

Fool Me A Million Times posted by Paul Edwards via jane, 2019-06-23 22:28:02
Yogi Berra experienced “deja vu, all over again”. Marx revised Hegel, saying history repeats itself first as tragedy, then as farce. Bush the Lesser, riffing on who to blame for being fooled, got lost in his trope. Now unctuous Pompeo and Bolton are lying/selling war on Iran, do YOU remember RECENT HISTORY? (full story)

The American Way of Illegal Wars posted by Philip A Farruggio via sheila, 2019-06-22 23:00:06
The infamous Herman Goering had this quote at the time of the Nuremberg Trials in the wake of World War II [1]:
“Naturally the common people don’t want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, It is the Leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. it works the same in any country.” (full story)

US Mass Media Weapon Requires Re-Load posted by stella, 2019-06-22 21:42:06
The amount of skepticism regarding the entire Iran attack story is huge if credible and relevant reports are considered. Indeed, expert analysts and other commentators are not buying the story as presented by the NYT or Trump's ridiculous claims thereafter; and as usual no substantial evidence is offered to the public to support these absurd claims. Now note that war with Iran is simply not possible due to credible overriding factors, primarily the effect it would have on the global economy. (full story)

 Trump's Entirely Predictable Scripted Response to Drone Provocation posted by Jake Johnson via jane, 2019-06-21 00:07:13
After President Donald Trump on Thursday ominously warned that Iran made a "very big mistake" by downing a U.S. drone and told reporters they will "soon find out" whether the administration plans to take military action, advocacy groups warned that any strike against Iran "could spark a major war" and urged Congress to act to avert a potentially catastrophic conflict.

[False flag operations:] “The powers-that-be understand that to create the appropriate atmosphere for war, it’s necessary to create within the general populace a hatred, fear or mistrust of others regardless of whether those others belong to a certain group of people or to a religion or a nation.” James Morcan (1978- ), New Zealand-born Australian writer.
