The Washington staged coup in Bolivia is straight from the FAILED playbook attempt in Venezuela. So how did Washington succeed in replacing a democratically elected LEGITIMATE leader in Bolivia with an UN-ELECTED, unrepresentative stooge? (full story)

 The Financial Elite's Destruction of Rafael Correa's Social Revolution in Ecuador posted by Dr. Birsen Filip via gayle, 2019-11-14 19:06:16
On November 7, 2019, the National Court of Justice of Ecuador ratified the preventive detention of former president Rafael Correa, along with a number of his former officials. Immediately after the court rendered its decision for pretrial detention, Correa rejected accusations of bribery, illicit association and contributions to his political campaign between 2012 and 2016, while he was the leader of Alianza Patria Altiva i Soberana (PAIS). Correa founded Alianza PAIS in 2006, as a democratic socialist political party with an objective to achieve economic and political sovereignty, and foment a social and economic revolution in the nation, which came to be known as The Citizens’ Revolution (La Revolución Ciudadana).

 The Absolute Necessity of Divesting Financial Elites posted by reg, 2019-11-14 18:18:02
The Bolivian CIA staged coup ousting democratically elected leader Morales from power is simply the latest manifestation of grossly illegal interference in the democratic process of a foreign sovereign nation, notwithstanding that huge sums of money support elite selected candidates for the presidency of the United States and other western 'democracies.' In other words 'freedom, liberty and democracy' are a laugh in y/our faces. Democracy and freedom are a charade. (full story)

The Digital Invasion and its Cure posted by sheila, 2019-11-12 19:49:57
Have you ever given a second thought to installing popular apps on smart devices? They usually flag the fact that they want access to your photos, docs, contacts and location but you agree, otherwise the app will not install. It's a type of forced blackmail as you want that app. (full story)

 Tulsi Gabbard Attacks Cornerstone of the New Criminal America posted by Josh Mitteldorf via lex, 2019-11-11 20:24:36
I have never met anyone -- though I move in educated, socially aware circles -- that doesn't KNOW that 9/11 was an INSIDE JOB, a REAL conspiracy in other words; the EXPERT evidence trashing the government story/fiction is simply overwhelming as I'm sure most of our readers are aware. We have on public record the war mongering neocon's declaration that they required "a new pearl harbour" in order to launch their perpetual wars of resource theft on weaker nations in North Africa and the Middle East. Backed up openly by insider, General Wesley Clark, butcher of the Balkans, declaring a planned list of targeted nations to the world, clearly Clark's experiences in the Balkans resulted in a change of heart regarding America's illegal wars of conquest.

Today's Social Crises and Dysfunctional Governments posted by darcy, 2019-11-10 20:40:00
First take a good hard look at the UK parliament's inability to resolve the Brexit crisis, it's appalling and anyone that would entrust any decision to that flawed body deserves what they get – these people are clearly incapable of jointly putting together a housewife's shopping list let alone running a nation with all its associated complexities. Learn from the appalling British spectacle, and if you imagine your government is any better then you are kidding yourself. Today they are all the same, imploding due to personal ambition and selfish motives, not united in the service of the people/nation. In fact here in Australia major parties regularly tear themselves apart without assistance from any opposition for the exact same selfish reasons that the UK parliament is unable to deal with Brexit.

Power, Lies and Media posted by Robert B. Reich via stacey, 2019-11-10 19:41:43
Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook says he’ll run political ads even if they are false. Jack Dorsey of Twitter says he’ll stop running political ads altogether. Dorsey has the correct approach but the debate skirts the bigger question: Who is responsible for protecting democracy from big, dangerous lies? (full story)

The RCEP train left the station and India, behind posted by Pepe Escobar via gus, 2019-11-09 22:45:29
A pan-Asia high-speed train has left the station – and India – behind. The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), which would have been the largest free trade deal in the world, was not signed in Bangkok. It will probably be signed next year in Vietnam, assuming New Delhi goes beyond what ASEAN, with diplomatic finesse barely concealing frustration, described as “outstanding issues, which remain unresolved.” (full story)

Total Destruction of Europe Will Be It's Payoff for Being an American Vassal: Princeton Scientists posted by Russia Insider via cyd, 2019-11-09 22:11:50
Top Russian Talk Show Rips Princeton University Over Callous Fantasizing About Nuking Russia. Nevertheless, this is all bluff and bluster according to Washington war hawk whackos. Indeed, they have a point when considering coward Putin but the Russian military is another story and Putin's life in the event of war is not worth a plugged nickle. (full story)

Everything you were told about the Syrian war was wrong -- Until Now posted by Robert Fisk via jess, 2019-11-09 21:51:36
That wars end very differently to our own expectations – or our plans – was established long ago. That “we” won the Second World War did not mean the Americans would win the Vietnam war, or that France would vanquish its enemies in Algeria. Yet the moment we decide who the good guys are, and who the evil monsters whom we must destroy, we relapse again into our old mistakes. (full story)

How to Crush a Bankers’ Dictatorship: A Lesson From 1933 posted by Matthew Ehret via james, 2019-11-08 21:57:40
The western media has been hit with warnings of “financial Armageddon” and the need for a “global hegemonic synthetic currency” to replace the collapsing US dollar under a new system of green finance. These statements have been made by former and current Bank of England Governors Mark Carney and Mervyn King respectively and should not be ignored as the world sits atop the largest financial bubble in human history reminiscent of the 1929 bubble that was triggered on black Friday in the USA which unleashed a great depression across Europe and America.

Breaking Up Corporate Power Monopolies and the Problem of Wealth Concentration posted by nano, 2019-11-08 20:52:51
Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook has been defending himself/company in numerous anti-trust investigations world wide but particularly in the US of late. Clearly Facebook, and Google for that matter, are huge monopolies wielding disproportionate power and influence over their respective fields in the highly lucrative IT industry; and of course this monopolistic power then translates into political power, buying politicians via lobby groups and affecting social outcomes for society as a whole – some negative outcomes are extreme surveillance and monitoring of peoples' every move via smart devices and the insidious intrusion on privacy, which has recently morphed into CENSORSHIP of the free flow of information.

Money Talks, Bullshit Walks on Cable News posted by Paul Street via stella, 2019-11-07 22:48:31
Is it any wonder that the nation’s “liberal” cable news stations CNN and MSNBC can barely contain their disdain for Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign and even (to a lesser degree) for that of Elizabeth Warren while they promote the nauseating center-right candidacies of the bewildered racist and corporatist Joe Biden, the sinister neoliberal corporate-militarist Pete Butiggieg and even the marginal Wall Street “moderates” Amy Klobuchar and Kamala Harris? Next time you click on these stations, keep a pen and paper handy to write down the names of the corporations that pay for their broadcast content with big money commercial purchases. (full story)

 India Set to Discover the Law of Unintended Consequences posted by Wayne Madsen via gayle, 2019-11-06 19:17:54
By abrogating the autonomous status of the now-former state of Jammu and Kashmir and transforming it into two direct rule territories, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi may have set in motion forces that could result in challenges to its control of portions of the Himalayan region. (full story)
