As the Trump administration charges forward with its war on science by canceling a "crucial" carbon monitoring system at NASA, scientists and climate experts are sounding alarms over atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) that just surpassed a "troubling" threshold for the first time in human history.

 Rejecting the Normalization of Perpetual War posted by William Rivers Pitt via jane, 2018-05-13 05:01:14
My daughter was born in the 22nd year of the Forever War, which stands today upon its 27th year and counting. People who should know better may tell you the war started only 17 years ago, after September 11, but those people are likely trying to sell you something, and it's probably more war. (full story)

Israel attacked alleged Iranian military positions in Syria on Tuesday, just one hour after Donald Trump pulled the U.S. out of the nuclear deal with Tehran.

 Iran: the Simple FACTS Are ... posted by justin, 2018-05-13 01:03:24
Firstly, it is Saudi-supported Sunni extremists which form most of the WORLD’S Islamic terrorist groups NOT Iranian Shias. However, as the US supports Saudi Arabia, which now is allied with US ally Israel -- all three criminal (historically proven) nations have one thing in common, they all detest Iran which is why Iran is painted as the nation that supports terrorism NOT guilty Saudi Arabia, as is easily historically verified and obvious.

The West’s Finance-Capitalist Road Rides on Parasitic DEBT posted by Michael Hudson via burt, 2018-05-07 01:17:39
Volumes II and III of Marx’s Capital describe how debt grows exponentially, burdening the economy with carrying charges. This overhead is subjecting today’s Western finance-capitalist economies to austerity, shrinking living standards and capital investment while increasing their cost of living and doing business. That is the main reason why they are losing their export markets and becoming de-industrialized. (full story)

Peace Dreams posted by shirl, 2018-05-06 03:49:24
Reality is very sobering, like how does anyone hope to see peace when western leaders talk of nothing but war, division, aggression and conflict? Quite simply, PEACE is something earned by POPULATIONS not war mongering puppet leaders serving elites that profit from war, destruction and theft. (full story)

American Pathocracy posted by lex, 2018-05-06 02:52:22
The American ‘Pathocracy’ is characterised by extremely flawed and grossly incompetent pathological leadership, which spews and rants all manner of idiocies, lies, delusions that transfix a pathological society which feeds from the sickness which has come to full bloom today. This clearly social disease, which screams loud and clear to other nations not yet infected, manifests and is personified by US president Trump, whose primary function is to create psychological chaos, DISTRACT and confuse, thereby disempowering the masses while the nefarious DEEP STATE continues with its psychopathic agenda of perpetual interventionist wars, resource theft and mass murder, which agenda hasn’t missed a beat since the presidency of Bill Clinton.

When Orwell’s 1984 Stopped Being Prophetic Fiction posted by Jonathan Cook via reg, 2018-05-05 01:17:16
This is the moment when a newspaper claiming to uphold that most essential function in a liberal democracy – acting as a watchdog on power – formally abandons the task. This is the moment when it positively embraces the role of serving as a mouthpiece for the government. The tell is in one small word in a headline on today’s Guardian’s front page: “Revealed”.

Stop the Madness of a War With Iran posted by Medea Benjamin via jane, 2018-05-05 00:57:54
The Iran nuclear deal is on the verge of sinking on May 12, when Donald Trump will decide whether or not to waive the nuclear-related sanctions, as the deal calls for. While the world is cheering the upcoming meeting between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un (including Trump’s fans calling for a Nobel Peace Prize), Trump is needlessly and recklessly driving our nation down a path toward war with Iran—and neither Congress nor the American people seem to care.
