 The Triumph of Evil posted by Paul Craig Roberts via jane, 2018-10-27 20:58:40
The murder of Jamal Khashoggi inside the Saudi Arabian embassy in Turkey is unprecedented in its audacity. The response from Washington and the Canadian government is to sell more weapons to Saudi Arabia, weapons that are being used by the Saudis in their destruction of the Yemeni population. The Russian response, if the report I saw was not fake news, is to sell the Saudis the S-400 air defense system. (full story)

 The House of Saud Ready for Regime Change posted by celia, 2018-10-14 20:34:52
Someone in the antiquated and universally loathed house of Saud has lost the plot.

 Facebook is now a Blatant Censorship Medium posted by Jake Johnson via drake, 2018-10-13 02:11:46
In the early days of CIA supported and formulated Facebook it was dis-affectionately know as "tracebook" as its designs were such that a user/subscriber helped authorities by listing all his/her 'friends' -- it sure took the footwork out of police investigations. However, today it has gone to the next (anticipated) stage by embracing deep state attitudes to dissenting information which exposes the lies of dominant media narratives fed to the public by the elite owned mass media -- remember the huge sell of the ILLEGAL Iraq invasion, which alternative media outlets investigated and exposed? Well, that process has now been deemed an enemy of deep state/elite interests and so it was a simple matter to enlist the services of Facebook and Google to immediately either ban or background certain sites or material. After all 'we' can't have people telling the truth in a world of myths, division and lies! (full story)

 A media war explodes in Australia posted by Lachlan Colquhoun via jan, 2018-09-27 10:17:01
This particular war is primarily located in the offices of Australia's public broadcaster, the ABC. However, one particular 'external' player should not be ignored, media mogul Rupert Murdoch, who appears obsessed with privatising the ABC, fragmenting and selling it off as separate units, which would allow for little competition against the Murdoch media empire, and that fact should never be underestimated. Indeed it was Murdoch who made an emergency trip on his private jet to Oz to commandeer his papers with the view of ousting former PM Malcolm Turnbull. Be assured, no-one would be happier if the ABC was fragmented and privatised. (full story)

The Neoliberal Order is Dying -- A New Paradigm is Required posted by Jonathan Cook via gayle, 2018-09-26 10:13:28
In my recent essay, I argued that power in our societies resides in structure, ideology and narratives – supporting what we might loosely term our current “neoliberal order” – rather than in individuals. Significantly, our political and media classes, who are of course deeply embedded in this neoliberal structure, are key promoters of the very opposite idea: that individuals or like-minded groups of people hold power; that they should, at least in theory, be held accountable for the use and misuse of that power; and that meaningful change involves replacing these individuals rather than fundamentally altering the power-structure they operate within.

 The UN Ridicules and Openly Laughs at the President of the USA -- UNPRECEDENTED! posted by drake, 2018-09-25 21:48:23
It seems that the world's most notable -- Donald Trump -- sufferer of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), which primary symptoms are grandiose delusions about SELF and the pathological need for adoration/recognition, which manifest as pathological LYING among other obvious personality flaws/pathologies, have collided with REALITY. Donald Trump was openly ridiculed and laughed at by WORLD leaders while delivering a fantasy-laden speech about himself at the UN, a stage that no politician wishes to fail on. (full story)

Take a Good Hard Look at Yourself, AMERICA posted by Jon Queally via cyd, 2018-09-24 19:24:31
The Vietnam war resulted in over 4 million peasant and innocent civilian deaths based on a false flag 'Gulf of Tonkin Incident,' yet no American official was brought before International criminal courts. The Iraq war based on outrageous orchestrated LIES of WMD resulted in over 1 million innocent civilian deaths, notwithstanding the 500,000 CHILDREN that died due to American imposed sanctions and embargoes on medical supplies, however, not one responsible lying official was held to account though the entire world is aware of the criminality of that unnecessary war. Add to that heinous record other wars based on similar pretexts in Libya, Syria and Yemen and the entire picture is ugly to the extreme YET not one American war criminal has ever been held to account.

Syria's Criminal Interventionist War posted by Mark Taliano via jane, 2018-09-24 18:39:17
There is a great deal of discussion about saving civilian lives in Syria, as there should be. Missing from the discussion, however, is the most important point. If Western policymakers were genuinely concerned about saving civilians, they would not have waged this Regime Change war in the first place. (full story)
