 Inaction on Climate Change Invites Disaster posted by Dahr Jamail via claire, 2018-12-28 21:34:02
The 20 warmest years ever recorded have been within the last 22 years, and the four warmest of those have been 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018, according to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). The WMO has stated that if these trends continue (and there is no reason to believe they won’t), global temperatures may rise from between 3-5 degrees Celsius (3-5°C) by 2100. The organization warned that if humans exploit all known fossil fuel reserves, “the temperature rise will be considerably higher” than even those catastrophic levels. (full story)

INDOLENCE and COWARDICE, the roads to RUIN posted by baz, 2018-12-25 20:45:19
This Xmas I have been amused by the antics of two journalists, Chris Hedges, of 9/11 conspiracy denial infame, and John Pilger, acclaimed documentary maker and mate of Martini sipping, Julian Assange, which two have repudiated the CFR managed western mass media as being thoroughly DISHONEST, of course imputing that the mass media is nothing more than a propaganda arm of evil mass murdering elites -- WELL, DOH! The vast majority of aware citizens around the globe are acutely aware of the FACT. (full story)

 Is His Asia Pullout Trump's last Death Twitch? posted by Tom Luongo via stacey, 2018-12-24 20:20:35
With his shock announcement of a rapid pullout of all US troops from Syria and Afghanistan Donald Trump finally became President. The neocons called him that when he bombed the Al-Shairat airbase in April 2017, a move I said at the time was the biggest geopolitical blunder in years. (full story)

7000 US Troops to leave Afghanistan posted by ned, 2018-12-24 19:12:11
The no-win war in Afghanistan appears to be grinding Washington into submission. Hot on the heels of Trump's Syria withdrawal, Trump ordered a massive reduction of the US troop presence in Afghanistan; it appears that half the occupation force -- 7000 troops -- is to return home either for redeployment, most likely, or for other political reasons, namely, Trump is desperate to appease his support base as other forces close in to unseat his presidency. Though informed opinion, considering war hawks Bolton and Pompeo are advising Trump, would indicate that things are not what they appear to be. A possible aggressive engagement is either planned for Ukraine and/or Iran -- we shall see. (full story)

 The Parasitic Military Industrial Complex is in Financial Collapse Due to MISMANAGEMENT posted by Alan MacLeod via sean, 2018-12-23 21:20:46
$21 Trillion is unaccounted for by auditors of the Pentagon national (vampire) 'defense' system. This staggering figure is the DIRECT result of OUTSOURCING weapons development to the private sector and creating Huge security problems in the process. This corporate slush -- over $700 billion today -- funded system, where every external company goes for the money first, NOT the most advanced COMPETITIVE weapons development, will be the ruin of the nation if not remedied immediately. Even political dunce, but financially aware, Trump, criticises the enormous annual Pentagon budget as "crazy;" as a businessman he is right especially if we compare the Pentagon budget to other nations, which US budget exceeds all other nations COMBINED.

Oligarchy Is Destroying Our Society and the Planet posted by C.J. Polychroniou via claire, 2018-12-21 21:52:18
Since the onset of the Industrial Revolution, the world has experienced historically unprecedented levels of growth, with capitalism raising the standard of living of many nations. At the same time, capitalism has generated immense contradictions (exploitation of labor and nature, huge economic inequalities and gross social injustices), and these traditionally have been the main foci of radical political movements advancing the vision of a just socioeconomic order. But is the era of capitalist growth now coming to an end? (full story)

Democracy Doesn’t Work, Period! posted by nano, 2018-12-21 21:10:14
The US democratically elected nincompoop president has recently blindsided many allies and his own military -- forcing the resignation of general ‘mad dog’ Mattis -- by impetuously declaring the US has ‘won’ in Syria and so consequently is withdrawing US troops from the quagmire the US created with its proxy forces in the first instance. Few know or understand what is really behind this move as it appears that war hawk and arch-neoconservative, John Bolton, advised Trump -- who was in real-time telephone communication with Turkish president Erdogan -- that he could begin removing troops ‘immediately!’ What goes on here many have asked and very few understand? However, is it really surprising that a 'democratically' elected political dunce president and reality TV star behaves in a manner contrary to any and all political sense? Answer, NO! (full story)

 Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, Incompetent Manager and Proven LIAR posted by Steven Overly, Ashley Gold, John Hebdel via gayle, 2018-12-20 20:11:06
It has been revealed that Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, LIED to a Congressional committee regarding privacy obligations. And as such his company is a clear danger to the public; Zuckerberg clearly breached and abused public trust and existing privacy laws. At the very least Zuckerberg must step down, his company's brand and share price plummets as I write today. It is also known that the CIA/deep state supported Facebook in its early stages of development and continues to mine its data for surveillance/monitoring purposes. However, allowing an arrogant, socially incompetent kid to sit at the helm of one of the largest IT companies in the world has proven to be a huge folly as is now well known. It will be interesting to see how the deep state/CIA attempts to salvage one of its data gold mines and precious 'resources.' Details follow: (full story)

 US to Immediately Withdraw Troops from Syria posted by Nauman Sadiq via jed, 2018-12-19 23:23:23
Washington has finally learned that proxy wars are a once only proposition. After the US proxy war on Libya, deemed to be a success by Obama, who boasted that the US was able to accomplish its illegal regime change goal, "without US boots on the ground," it appears the same attempt on Syria has failed miserably. Syria was lost to America and its Jihadist supporting Saudi ally the moment superpower Russia intervened to support its ally. Indeed, the latest announcement from Washington that it intends to withdraw almost all its troops would seem to verify Syria is a lost cause for America. (full story)

Pull Your Head Out of the God Fog -- Jesus was a Social Revolutionary/Reformer posted by baz, 2018-12-19 21:38:33
Xmas approaches and yet the ‘God’ myth prevails among the Christian faithful to this day -- in other words irrational ‘magic’ has superseded temporal/historical realities; however, with only a slight perspective, gained from withdrawing belief in myths, an entirely new REAL view is EASILY apprehended.

 Kosovo -- The Untenable Stolen State posted by drew, 2018-12-18 19:58:24
Kosovo is the geographic location of the formation of the Identity and nation of Serbia and its Christian slavic people, as history records, and as such it is and will always be SERBIAN, as opposed to the Albanian Muslims that now tenuously claim it as theirs. It's current president Hashim Thaci, is a wanted Interpol listed criminal though America has seen to it that Interpol does not pursue this Albanian known murdering mafia leader, as he serves as an American puppet -- birds of the feather .... Furthermore, the USA and NATO are forced to maintain a presence in Kosovo as recognition of the stolen State by the international community falters as it threatens the SOVEREIGNTY of numerous other nations that have separatist problems.
