 Unstoppable Political Sea Change in the Making posted by nano, 2018-08-29 22:17:46
It is true that all western governments serve unrepresentative minority elites, politicians lie to gain power much like Trump lied about ‘draining the Washington swamp’ and ‘jailing Hillary Clinton’ for her many un-prosecuted crimes. But where does it all go after the victorious party gains office? Indeed, up the political spout, which reality has been proven in EVERY western ‘democracy’ time and again, and the masses are acutely aware of the fact. (full story)

Back in the Great Game: The Revenge of Eurasian Land Powers posted by Pepe Escobar via darren, 2018-08-29 04:20:45
Get ready for a major geopolitical chessboard rumble: from now on, every butterfly fluttering its wings and setting off a tornado directly connects to the battle between Eurasian integration and Western sanctions as foreign policy. (full story)

Apply the Pin-prick Test to all Mass Media Propaganda posted by neil, 2018-08-28 19:57:56
The NYT recently published a story, linked below, intended of course to convince the public there is substance to the 'Russiagate' fabrication/fiction -- Russiagate is repeated incessantly in the media primarily because no proof exists to implicate Russia or any other EXTERNAL party in Clinton's loss to Trump; clearly the Democrats just can't take the truth/reality, Hillary lost because the public detested her and what she stood for, pure and simple.

There is NOTHING United About the United States posted by zlatko, 2018-08-28 09:23:32
Not being an American I really have to laugh over the degree of disunity in the USA. Far from a binary division like the civil war, ‘blues and greys,’ today we have every imaginable group politically, theologically and socially apart, though each group is distinct and opposes, at the very least, the ideology/theology/ideal/race etc, of other groups, which of course leads to RUIN, be told by an external observer.

Why US Imperialism Loves Afghan Quagmire posted by Finian Cunningham, 2018-08-28 03:35:30
It may seem paradoxical that any American interest would seek to deliberately prolong the Afghan quagmire. Costing trillions of dollars to the national debt, one would think that US planners are anxious to wind down the war and cut their immense losses. Not so, it seems. (full story)

 Former Oz PM Kevin Rudd -- Put Murdoch on Trial for Interfering with Oz Democracy posted by cyd, 2018-08-27 19:55:45
Rudd recently commented on the turmoil which now characterises Australian politics and levelled majority blame on Rupert Murdoch, a media mogul and plutocrat able to character assassinate any politician at home and abroad if they do not comply with his wishes, which of course are self-serving and guided by his ultra-right wing political ideology -- ‘who do those political fleas think they are interfering with MY plans,’ is essentially Murdoch’s sentiment and Rudd should know as he was once supported by the Murdoch media but on condition. Remember the absurdist Murdoch plan of a “NATO of the South Pacific” which obliged Rudd was forced to run with, unsuccessfully of course. (full story)

 US-UK Preparing Another Chemical False Flag in Syria posted by Peter Korzun via jillian, 2018-08-27 09:23:11
The US warned Russia it would attack Syria again if chemical weapons (CW) were used by the government forces. According to Bloomberg, National Security Adviser John Bolton told his Russian counterpart, Nikolai Patrushev, at a meeting in Geneva on Aug. 23 that the US “is prepared to respond with greater military force than it has used against Assad’s regime in the past.” US officials supposedly “have information” that the Syrian military is preparing a chemical attack in Syria’s northwestern province of Idlib. Mr. Bolton had also stressed publicly the US readiness to use force on a larger scale before the meeting with his Russian counterpart. (full story)

Captured: The Overt War on the People posted by jenny, 2018-08-27 00:21:29
Ever since the elite ruling milieu took complete control of Washington during the Clinton-Bush presidencies, a silent, that is media uncovered, WAR against the people has been raging. (full story)

The Beautiful & Damned: Children Murdered by US Missiles, Bombs and Sanctions posted by Finian Cunningham via dulcie, 2018-08-26 00:38:24
Every time a Trump administration official pontificates about this or that, a TV split-screen should simultaneously show the heart-rending burial scenes of Yemeni children killed earlier this month by US-supplied Saudi warplanes. (full story)

 One Child Too Many -- America, the World’s Leading Killer of Children posted by claire, 2018-08-25 22:51:34
Without doubt that is the most deplorable, despicable and horrendous leadership status any nation could achieve. It’s simple mathematics to determine: the Indo-Chinese wars based on the pretext of the Gulf of Tonkin incident/false flag (now proven) and extended illegal bombings of Laos, and Cambodia, and wherever else the USA decided to indiscriminately “carpet bomb,” thank you Mr Kissinger for your inhuman carpet bombing strategy. The total recorded civilian casualties of America’s unnecessary Indo-Chinese wars, FOUR MILLION CIVILIANS, a third of which were CHILDREN. (full story)

A Perfect Storm over Washington; Trump Could be Forced to Resign posted by Michael Payne via gayle, 2018-08-25 00:01:33
Trump would be the last to go down voluntarily and would put up a good fight as he has done to date to astoundingly remain in office. This magician is in actual fact no magician at all when it comes down to it, as Trump is the champion of American elite rulers. So until they exhibit their displeasure, it would seem likely that Trump holds out. However, if they consider Trump more of a liability than an asset he's a gonner. But jumping prematurely to unconsidered conclusions, is unwise to say the least, it is advisable to curb one's own sentiments and biases in all events especially those involving America's RULING ELITES. Trump is merely their puppet. (full story)

 Scott Morrison is Dead PM Walking posted by darcy, 2018-08-24 22:19:03
Hardly a victory for un-elected, new PM Scott Morrison, who has been ‘sold the dump’ of a future backlash against the party by Australian voters. The conservative push to oust former PM Turnbull, led by arch-conservatives Peter Dutton, Tony Abbott and Eric Abetz was/is a completely SUICIDAL play, as that rebellion within the party has done more to kill-off any chance of mild success at the next federal poll -- it’s over for the conservatives that thought more of internal petty power plays and themselves than SERVING the nation and its struggling population, and the people are sorely aware of it.

 Make No Mistake, American Ruling Elites Love Trump posted by cas, 2018-08-24 02:29:07
Hasn’t anyone noticed the elitist policies of Trump? Tax cuts to large corporations, trade wars, immigration/xenophobia, sales pitches and demands to allies to buy more American made weapons of mass destruction in order for those merchants of death to realise evermore profits and dump redundant stocks, dismissing climate change and pollution regulations in order to allow companies freedom to pollute and devastate the environment, huge tax-payer grants to the military security complex while cutting social services to the bone, and on it goes. Notice how none of which policies benefit the people but sure benefit the corporate banker sector. Trump is a dream for the powers that be. (full story)

The American Scream posted by Finian Cunningham via sandy, 2018-08-24 00:57:36
Just like when medieval executioners tortured their prisoners to scream out for "mercy", so today two former aides of US President Donald Trump are put being on the rack to extract a begging response. If they finger the president, then maybe mercy will be shown to the prisoners. (full story)
