Is There Hope for the Feeble-Minded Masses? posted by tom, 2017-11-30 20:16:46
The short, sweet and accurate answer is, NO! But why? (full story)

We are all created beings and no being has the right to lord over another, that simple! posted by Caitlin Johnstone via jane, 2017-11-30 18:36:10
I just got through reading an unintentionally hilarious article in The Guardian whose author Tim Dowling shared it under the billing “I watched RT for a week so you don’t have to.” The whole thing is a story by a man immersed in mainstream narratives who spent a week perpetually aghast at how “surreal” it is to suddenly be hearing stories outside his echo chamber. Even while conceding that some of the programming was downright enlightening, Dowling just couldn’t get over the fact that he was seeing different things on RT than he was on BBC News and ended up writing about the experience in the way one might speak about their trip to a furry convention.

  A Spoilt, Attention-Seeking Petulant Toddler in the White House posted by brenda, 2017-11-30 02:07:32
Indeed, the closest approximation to Donald Trump in the real world is as the title indicates, and we all have experience of this type of spoilt infant that would aggravate, scream, irritate and do anything to get attention. Fortunately most of these badly raised, by sensitive new age guys (SNAGS) and politically correct, indulgent mothers, do grow into stable maturity after confronting the outside world which does not tolerate these behaviours. School is a great teacher as kids from an early age are exposed to other kids, most of which have been fairly well raised. Neither teachers or other kids succumb to toddler tantrums and attention seeking. (full story)

 The Rhetorical Trap: North Korea as “State Sponsor of Terrorism” posted by Binoy Kampmark via jaxie, 2017-11-29 10:16:41
Are such designations ever useful? At the stroke of a pen, an entire state is designated “terrorist” or a seemingly milder sponsor of terrorism, its name finding a way onto a list of supposed unmentionables and moral inverts. Obscure groups and more notable countries huddle together, supposedly sharing some disreputable common ground and we are none the wiser on the content behind the categorisation. (full story)

The Farcical Nature of State Media posted by Finian Cunningham via sal, 2017-11-28 20:10:01
Russia's tit for tat response to the US and Europe attempting to contain Russian media outlets has revealed that all media is partial or biased, that is a given and self-evident. So if one group attempts to contain the other, the other applies the exact same measures of containment. However, let's not get lost or distracted by the trees as the forest is the issue here -- mass MEDIA and its pervasive influence! (full story)

US Provides Military Aid To More Than 70 Percent Of World’s Dictatorships posted by Whitney Webb via stacey, 2017-11-28 05:18:28
About three-quarters of the world’s dictatorships currently receive military assistance from the United States. This is a strange record for a nation that consistently justifies its sweeping foreign interventions as aimed at “promoting democracy” and “thwarting evil dictatorships.” (full story)

Bald Face Racism and Abuse of Refugees posted by Binoy Kampmark via jane, 2017-11-27 05:06:08
It was another etching in a chronicle of extended violence. For days, resistance by refugees and asylum seekers against forced removal from the Lombrom Naval Base on Manus Island had taken very public form. Images of defiance and distress were receiving international attention. With no electricity, with water supplies destroyed, things were getting dire. (full story)

Logic/Education Against Matrix Indoctrination posted by Jon Rappoport via shirl, 2017-11-26 21:48:36
Over the past year, I’ve been in communication with several teachers/educators who have informed me about the descent into more social programming [indoctrination] in school classrooms.
From so-called environmental agendas, to discussions about gender orientation and choice of gender identity, to sex education, to teaching about “liberalism,” the indoctrination is getting thicker and deeper. (full story)

 Queensland State Election Confirms Turnbull's Failed Leadership posted by suzie, 2017-11-25 23:20:46
Indeed,the conservatives were trounced in QLD, not least for the reason that conservative PM, MalcolmTurnbull, who triggered an unnecessary DD election that allowed fringe ultra-right party One Nation to regain a foothold and steal conservative votes from the majors -- Turnbull clearly outsmarted himself with his trickster lawyer failed tactics, notwithstanding he is one of the worst PMs in Australian history, but what does he care, he got his portrait in Parliament House.

From an Open Internet, Back to the Dark Ages of Privileged Elite Rule posted by Jonathan Cook via james, 2017-11-25 22:42:38
Could anyone still doubt that access to a relatively free and open internet is rapidly coming to an end in the west? In China and other autocratic regimes, leaders have simply bent the internet to their will, censoring content that threatens their rule. But in the “democratic” west, it is being done differently. The state does not have to interfere directly – it outsources its dirty work to corporations. (full story)

 Law Flouting Rogue State Intends to Remain in Syria After Terrorists Routed posted by South Front via jane, 2017-11-25 19:35:02
Indeed, the rogue, criminal USA couldn't give a damn about international law, the US-Saudi-Israeli sponsored proxy war in Syria is virtually over and peace negotiations have been planned. However, the USA will have none of it and intends to pursue its 'Assad must go,' policy and ILLEGAL occupation, but this time utilising the bought Kurds as pawns instead of the failed ISIS, Nusra and Al-Qaeda terrorists.
The overtly criminal USA is DIRECTLY responsible for the murder of millions of innocent civilians and children in the Middle East and the displacement of tens of millions more, yet the OBVIOUSLY partial, politicised Hague courts have yet to haul one American into the dock for war and other crimes against humanity, ABSURD!

 Plutocrats Are Pursuing Internet Censorship And They’re Barely Hiding It posted by Caitlin Johnstone via james, 2017-11-24 21:48:43
A few days ago Facebook blocked my account for posting an article about false flag operations around the world, then two days later unblocked me with an apology after I made a big stink about it, saying it was an accident. Things went back to normal, then yesterday something changed and now the only people seeing my posts on that account are Facebook friends I was interacting with back in 2012 and haven’t spoken with in years. A number of users have told me that their post visibility has been really weird there the last few days. (full story)

 Why is Google’s Eric Schmidt So Afraid? posted by Jan Oberg via stacey, 2017-11-24 10:30:05
RT documents (video and text) that Eric Emerson Schmidt, the Executive Chairman of Alphabet – an American multinational conglomerate that owns Google – is working on “de-ranking” alleged propaganda outlets such as Russia Today, RT – the world’s third largest television network – Sputnik and numerous other alternative news sites.
