  Taiwan: Delusional Washington Behaves as if Overlord of World posted by Peter Koenig via shaz, 2019-06-19 23:20:05
Taiwan has become a new “eastern pivot” for Donald Trump. Against all international laws and UN charters, he is approaching Taiwan, as indicating to the world that regardless of the established world rules which make Beijing, the Peoples Republic of China (PRC), the official and legitimate Authority of China, with Taiwan being a part of China – the self-styled emperor, Mr. Trump, pretends he prefers dealing with Taiwan as an independent country. By doing so, he intends to invite others to do likewise. Trump wants to make Taiwan an ‘ally’ – dreaming of setting up a US base on the island, thus further encircling China. It is the old game, divide to reign. But he can’t be as ignorant as to believe it will actually work. It’s just one more thing to annoy PRC. Frankly – seen from a step back, it looks more like attempting to dump one of those primitive Trumpish ‘diplomatic’ bombshells on PRC’s back. – Provoking the Dragon? (full story)

 The US is Cruising toward Collapse but still Trying to Bully the World posted by Dmitry Orlov via stacey, 2019-06-19 00:15:03
There isn’t much to report that I haven’t already reported. What goes on is more of the same but the attitude seems to have changed. A new development is the Global Eye-Roll and at this rate it may turn into an Olympic sport before long. (full story)

The USA and the Blowfly Syndrome posted by darcy, 2019-06-18 23:52:12
In my European country of birth, there exist numerous wise traditional adages/sayings, as in most mature cultures. One of my favourites is, “if you follow a blowfly it can only lead you to shit.” Now let's apply those words of wisdom to the USA, leader of the western world in the context of East vs West, which America is pushing for all it's worth.

It is one thing that the CRINGING American People Tolerate Criminal Government … posted by claire, 2019-06-17 21:17:21
It is quite another when a CLEARLY lying, criminal government pursues international citizens without legal justification.
Indeed, the proven CRIMINAL, unrepresentative, ROGUE American government, is a major problem for the American people; however, if that government interferes or in any way intrudes on the freedom of INTERNATIONAL CITIZENS it is a case of extreme illegality regardless of groundless and contrived charges which should have no legal reach outside the USA, as every citizen of an independent sovereign State is protected by numerous laws, local and international.

 Wouldn't You Know it -- UK Intends to Deploy Marines in Persian Gulf posted by Helen Collis via jaxie, 2019-06-17 00:44:13
The UK, forever the supportive lackey for US criminal enterprises -- poodle Blair and Iraq, and more recently the clearly staged gas attack on a former Russian spy and his daughter -- has decided to deploy British Marines to the Persian Gulf -- and note the name, "Persian." This intended action is clearly to lend credence to Washington's evidence devoid accusations on Iran. Well, we can't say we, the world, is surprised given the UK's disgustingly obsequious to Washington, track record. Well, deploy them, for all the good it would do. (full story)

US Military and US Intel Agencies Keep Trump in the Dark Regarding Alleged Cyber Attacks on Russia posted by Caitlin Johnstone via sheila, 2019-06-16 22:24:30
American Intel agencies, particularly the CIA, and military intelligence have a long history of rogue actions, which they keep secret, even from presidents; this latest piece covers yet another rogue (illegal) element; however, today rogue elements that answer only to the 'Deep State,' -- forget democracy -- are clearly capable of igniting a nuclear holocaust, which the American people, or any other population, clearly do not want. Below is an excellent article from independent Australian journalist Caitlin Johnstone, on the latest Intel intrigues in chaotic Washington, the city which is the largest threat on the planet to WORLD PEACE due to the fact that too many players are pursuing their own particular agendas, clearly a recipe for catastrophe.

 In-grown Toenails and Iran posted by jess, 2019-06-15 23:27:13
I discovered in the media today that my in-grown toenail was caused by Iran, isn't that right Mike? Furthermore, I had a severe attack of acid-stomach after eating out, and I 'know' that Iran was again responsible because John Bolton told me so; I mean really, you would think that neocon war mongering, TRANSPARENT, Washington buffoons could do better, but they can't.

Top 1% Gained $21 Trillion in Wealth Since 1989 While Bottom Half Lost $900 Billion posted by Jake Johnson via stella, 2019-06-14 23:35:09
And the above is a direct result of supporting one of two owned major parties, which in effect becomes a two horse one stable race -- stable owners always win and ensure their own interests are served above all others. (full story)

As Predicted U.S. False Flag in Gulf of Oman Falling to Pieces posted by Linda Givetash and Arata Yamamoto via shirl, 2019-06-14 23:01:53
Good luck with your latest failed false flag, America. Almost instantly a targeted tanker refutes U.S. story designed to compromise Iran and gather allies for planned war. Verifiable evidence of U.S. claims remain non-existent. (full story)

Manufacturing Coma posted by Paul Edwards via claire, 2019-06-13 22:55:59
Noam Chomsky [9/11 conspiracy denier] and Edward Herman’s Manufacturing Consent, published in 1988, was a ground-breaking, comprehensive analysis of the processes used by American government to persuade citizens to approve whatever witches’ brew of deceit, crime, and murder the ruling elite elected to perpetrate.

 Oman Attacks – Pompeo, Iran Did It! But Where's the Evidence, you lying Clown? posted by lou, 2019-06-13 21:53:14
The BBC reported the attacks on tankers in the Gulf of Oman stating that no-one knows as yet which of many groups is responsible, but Mike Pompeo knows, it's Iran! Though of course he hasn't got a skerrick of evidence to back his claim. It's just another of many recent false flag failures. (full story)

The Joke [Not Deal] of the Century posted by Jeremy Salt via jane, 2019-06-11 22:26:12
With fresh elections called by Benyamin Netanyahu for September, it is possible that the ‘deal of the century’ may never see the light of day. Condemned across the board by Palestinians, even supporters are backing away. Mike Pompeo, Trump’s Secretary of State, said recently it was a deal “only the Israelis could love” and possible was “unexecutable.” Still, for what it reveals of the minds that could come up with such a scheme, the ‘deal of the century’ is still worth examining.

The Independent (UK) Analyses the New Media Distraction Method posted by leah, 2019-06-11 21:45:49
For some time various journalists, mostly independent, that is, not part of the mass media stable of compliant slaves suffering acute job anxiety, have attempted to draw the public's attention to how the mass media distracts from the REAL issues that affect us (and the planet.)
While this is not a new trick it has never been utilised to the extent it is today, ALL 'news' today is SELECTIVE. In other words stories that are not compatible with the status quo, though important to us, are either backgrounded or omitted from coverage completely. This is of course a sinister strategy to manage and control public awareness and create a tailored mainstream dominant discourse, which is not necessarily based on facts. We thank Robert Fisk of the UK Independent for joining other independent journalists with professional INTEGRITY, for his efforts. (full story)
