  Reaping a Future Whirlwind -- A Big Step for a Greater Israel posted by Eric S. Margolis via james, 2018-11-26 21:16:30
Hardly anyone noticed. The Trump administration quietly changed America’s long-held position on Syria’s strategic Golan Heights while attention was focused on the raucous political carnival in Washington. Though barely noticed, the policy change had enormous importance and will lead the United States into a lot of future Mideast misery. (full story)

 Damning Climate Report that Trump Admin Made Every Effort to Smother posted by Jake Johnson via sybil, 2018-11-24 20:56:31
In a move environmentalists and journalists denounced as a blatant effort to bury facts that conflict with the president's denialism and pro-fossil fuel agenda, the Trump administration used the Friday after Thanksgiving to quietly release Volume II of the Fourth National Climate Assessment (NCA4), which warned "Earth's climate is now changing faster than at any point in the history of modern civilization" and concluded that "greenhouse gas emissions from human activities are the only factors that can account" for planet-threatening warming.

The LIVING Deferring to the Dead posted by steve, 2018-11-23 23:38:11
I was struck some years ago by a picture of a completely hidden, burka-attired, Muslim woman, holding high aloft a copy of the Koran. The message of the image was clear and simple, a living human being, holding up a dead book, written by dead men hundreds of years past and that religious fact applies to all the Abrahamic and other religions, ancient texts written by educated scribes with the sole purpose of promoting a theocratic, authoritarian agenda usually under the pain of death or at the very least banishment or social ostracism.

APEC and the Infantile Bickering of 'Adult' Leaders posted by Binoy Kampmark via stacey, 2018-11-23 20:45:05
The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum is anything but 'cooperative.' The following accurate and hilarious appraisal is well worth the read in a tiresome world of open conflict and social regression. When will WE ever learn? After all, our leaders only reflect the true character of their respective nations and cultures and what a pathetic show these summits display to the entire world.
You would think after the continuous failure of these international summits that the masses learn, but of course the infantilism of leaders only reflects the true nature of their nations. Grow up World and learn the meaning of "COOPERATION," as opposed to your much loved CONFLICT, to which most of the 'civilised' world is ADDICTED.
The game of course is a game of 'beautiful' losers, each and every one vying for the bottom of the heap. (full story)

Trump May Precipitate A War Between Pakistan and Afghanistan to Save His Presidency posted by cyd, 2018-11-20 23:35:30
In a couple of weeks Democrats would take over the House of Reps, which would result in Trump’s paralysis as president and he knows it. So what options are available to him to secure his position and power? War of course, an American specialty, during which engineered war Trump would assume executive powers and indefinitely delay proceedings and charges against him; any attempts by the Democrats to pursue or nail Trump would effectively be neutralised for an extended period. Indeed, a conveniently engineered war involving any US occupied nation would be very convenient for Trump at this time given the looming onslaught and operational paralysis he would face from the Democrats.

 Empire’s Currency: The LIE posted by Mark Taliano via stacey, 2018-11-17 20:11:06
Empire’s currency is the Lie, which is why the Truth sounds bizarre to all but the well-informed. Largely unelected policymakers make the decisions in the West’s fake democracies, while fabricated narratives are amplified by politicians and the mass media. (full story)
