  Those Responsible posted by Michael Brull via darcy, 2019-03-16 20:45:49
The mass media today is a means to an end, it no longer responsibly serves the masses, betraying its original commission; it serves a mass murdering unrepresentative elite as will easily be proven with particular attention to Australian born Rupert Murdoch, media mogul and member of the New York CFR, which entity is directly involved in shaping all western 'news' as its members include ALL the owners of major media outlets in America.

 Obligatory Apathy posted by Tamara Pearson via jane, 2019-03-16 19:22:33
We live in a society that despises any sign of caring about just how bad things are for most people. The planet is corroding and smoldering, and time and resources are going into nuclear weapons and sending humanity into its own carefully prepared hell. The unequal global economy is efficiently stimulating the starvation and hunger of 815 million people, and the Internet is a plutocracy where money buys the biggest microphones. The thriving communities of Syria and Yemen are being turned to moonscape, while corporate corruption and consumerism are being cultivated instead of culture. We continue to build a hierarchy of human worth that relegates certain classes, ages, genders, sexualities, and races to shit status, and while millions of refugees are being put On Hold for ever in camps. But society is collectively rejecting even the mention of politics and having an opinion. (full story)

Israel’s Stranglehold on America posted by Chris Hedges via claire, 2019-03-12 22:44:08
The Israel lobby’s buying off of nearly every senior politician in the United States, facilitated by our system of legalized bribery, is not an anti-Semitic trope. It is a fact. The lobby’s campaign of vicious character assassination, smearing and blacklisting against those who defend Palestinian rights—including the Jewish historian Norman Finkelstein and university students, many of them Jewish, in organizations such as Students for Justice in Palestine—is not an anti-Semitic trope. It is a fact. Twenty-four state governments’ passage of Israel lobby-backed legislation requiring their workers and contractors, under threat of dismissal, to sign a pro-Israel oath and promise not to support the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement is not an anti-Semitic trope. It is a fact. (full story)

Crowd Management in Large Societies posted by reg, 2019-03-12 21:40:13
The formation of large societies required that former tribal and small group leaders refine their methods and skills in order to manage what today and in the past was considered to be, collectively speaking, a dumb frightened mass of disorganised people. From the earliest historical records ruling elites developed various methods/strategies/tricks to manage the masses and effectively nose-ring them as dumb beasts or a resource to be led by their crudest emotional instincts (flight-fight/FEAR) to serve ruling elites.

After abandoning former allies, Yugoslavia and Libya in critical times of need, the neutered bear has finally seen fit to intervene in Venezuela, another ally, and prevent lawless, gangster America thieving its resources and installing a Washington lackey as its leader -- well, it's about time you grew some balls Russia!

 Leopards Spots and Oil posted by cyd, 2019-03-10 21:50:58
The common denominator with all the 21st century’s American wars is of course OIL and other resources with some geostrategic considerations. Indeed, all the so-called ‘humanitarian,’ ‘right to protect’ and illegal ‘regime change’ wars are primarily concerned with resource THEFT on a grand scale. Spreading democracy (which doesn’t exist in the USA) and ‘Liberty’ is a pathetic joke if one connects the obvious DOTs. Which reality signifies that the offending nation is lawless and morally bankrupt, as it kills millions of innocents and ruins stable nations to achieve its nefarious ends. (full story)

Trump Absurdly Asks Germany and Japan To Pay For Being Occupied posted by Moon of Alabama via steve, 2019-03-08 22:00:09
Trump's lunatic proposition will be fun to watch FAIL. However, due to the crumbling paper petro-dollar hegemony, the USA is now forced to extract payments anywhere it can, so it has chosen 'allies' which it thinks are easily managed/intimidated and are 'safe' extortion targets; well America may be in for a rude shock -- the world is steadily dumping un-viable paper dollars as this piece is being posted and allied leaders are loath to sacrifice their careers to absurd US demands.

"I will stand by my principles" -- Gutsy Chelsea Manning posted by Julia Conley via lex, 2019-03-07 19:29:03
Indeed, it is character, conviction and principle that have served Chelsea Manning throughout her tortuous ordeals at the hands of the most corrupt, mass murdering, criminal State in the world today, America. Anyone that has followed her case from the beginning could not help but admire this modern hero/heroine, her character and courage in this modern corrupt age are exceptional. (full story)
