 The Power of Exaggerated Fear posted by Paul R. Pillar via shirl, 2016-01-18 00:56:40
Journalists have noticed how much current political campaigns are trading on fear. As observed in a recent article in the Washington Post, “Most of the Republican presidential contenders and their allies are now waging campaigns focused on fear — bombarding voters with ominous television spots that warn of national security threats and amping up their alarming rhetoric on the stump.

The Bottomless Oil Price in an Unstable Global Economy posted by Michael T. Klare via cyd, 2016-01-17 01:45:45
As 2015 drew to a close, many in the global energy industry were praying that the price of oil would bounce back from the abyss, restoring the petroleum-centric world of the past half-century. All evidence, however, points to a continuing depression in oil prices in 2016 -- one that may, in fact, stretch into the 2020s and beyond. Given the centrality of oil (and oil revenues) in the global power equation, this is bound to translate into a profound shakeup in the political order, with petroleum-producing states from Saudi Arabia to Russia losing both prominence and geopolitical clout.

US post-9/11 war on terror reflects state-sponsored deception – with the media complicit in conning the public to believe Washington opposes what it actively supports. (full story)

The ‘Terror’ News Cycle posted by jess, 2016-01-15 00:49:26
Today after 15 years of media saturation by the CFR controlled mass media, ‘terror’ has become naturalised, the tailored daily ‘news’ is saturated with terror attacks and couches every crime against the people as terror attacks, when in fact they are simply crimes committed by gullible, demented murderers with jelly for brains.

Obama’s Last State of Union -- Totally divorced from REALITY posted by zayn, 2016-01-13 09:41:09
Obama the president of extra-judicial killing and secret kill lists, a nation that leads the world in killing civilians and millions of innocent children by whatever means, sanctions, embargos on medical and other essential supplies or direct military intervention, feebly attempted to portray the world’s leading criminal State as a democracy, referring to the Constitution opening of, “we the people ..” which reality translates as ‘we the oligarchy and fuck the people except when needed for slave labour and cannon fodder.

 Killing the Petrodollar posted by F. William Engdahl via sue, 2016-01-12 09:02:59
It has taken some time for large oil and resource trading nations to wake up to the fact that they are indirectly financing America's perpetual wars, and to finally do something about it. For lay-readers it simply means that the collapse of the petrodollar puts an end to America's ability to wage continuous horrific wars for the sole benefit of large banks and corporations. However, the following article explains in more detail why certain nations have been forced to withdraw from the petrodollar's monopoly over international resource trade and to hopefully reduce it to the un-pegged value of the paper its printed on.

Confirmed: Black and Yellow Gold Behind ALL Recent Wars posted by james, 2016-01-11 21:47:23
The link below provides documented proof from the highest sources of what astute analysts have been stating for years, i.e. that ALL so-called wars on terror are primarily concerned with oil resources, gold/money, strategic lands and pipeline corridors. (full story)

US Government - World's Leading Criminal Organisation posted by Paul Craig Roberts via cyd, 2016-01-10 23:18:59
When history and facts are soberly considered Washington stands condemned as the criminal organisation it is. Dr Roberts has provided only a few recent examples of the outrageous crimes that Washington has committed in recent history, however, further research and recent Russian exposure of Washington's complicity in creating and supporting terrorist groups in the Middle East and elsewhere (Central Asia, Afghanistan, North Africa, Balkans, etc) is undeniable. The Orwellian inversion of reality propagated by the criminally owned American mass media only serves to reinforce the fact that the criminal American ruling elite is entrenched in that hapless nation of cowards. The American people have allowed various criminal regimes to oppress locals and make a mockey of the founding documents of the nation and all civilised law, domestic and international. (full story)

The Domino Effect of Falling Gulf State Monarchs Heads posted by justin, 2016-01-09 20:19:54
You really have to laugh over the predicament the House of Saud has got itself into due to its gullibility and acquiescence to Washington. The US ordered a deflation of oil prices which was designed to break the Russian economy, however, it has backfired as the impact has devastated the House of Saud, which finances are now flowing more freely into desert sands than the blood of innocent civilians Saudi supported Wahhabi terrorists spill in the region, though it is no historical secret that the House of Saud has been a long time puppet of western imperial power, now centralised in Washington.

 The Instant War Occurs posted by jess, 2016-01-07 21:05:20
Indeed, as we all should know, war occurs as result of a series of escalations reaching critical mass. WWI and II followed this pattern and so will WWIII, which actually began 15 years ago. (full story)

Saudis Seek Chaos to Cover Terror Tracks posted by Finian Cunningham via gail, 2016-01-06 17:58:47
Russia's incisive military intervention in Syria has succeeded in not only stabilizing the Arab state and salvaging it from a terrorist takeover. Russia's maneuver also exposed the foreign-fueled nature of the conflict - as a criminal covert war of aggression for regime change. (full story)
