text DOD, HUD Defrauded Taxpayers Of $21 Trillion From 1998 To 2015 Whitney Webb via jess, Friday, Oct 6 2017, 10:17pm
Last year, a Reuters article brought renewed scrutiny to the budgeting practices of the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD), specifically the U.S. Army, after it was revealed that the department had “lost” $6.5 trillion in 2015 due to “wrongful budget adjustments.” Nearly half of that massive sum, $2.8 trillion, was lost in just one quarter. Reuters noted that the Army “lacked the receipts and invoices to support those numbers [the adjustments] or simply made them up” in order to “create an illusion that its books are balanced.”

Putin, as he is! image Putin Cops ANOTHER Overt Whack in the Mouth from Washington Moon Of Alabama via shirl, Friday, Oct 6 2017, 9:03pm
One wonders at times how much belittling Putin can take. I have never forgotten a prominent neocon blurting, at the time of the Iraq illegal intervention, when asked a question by the media about a possible Russian reaction, the answer was couched in LAUGHTER, "what can Russia do, ha, ha, ha?" How historically accurate. Putin has caved like the COWARD he is on every occasion he faced Washington criminal aggression, his protest mouse-squeaks over Libya have gone down in history. But what did Putin "DO?" Nothing to support Libya against the OVERT US/NATO CRIMINAL attack on that nation and the assassination of its leader, which criminal travesties Putin could have easily prevented by simply supporting that Russian ALLIED nation. And so his cowardice is legendary in Washington and deservedly so. (story and 1 image)

text Unmasked Criminal USA Attempts Grab for Syrian Oil Mike Whitney via jess, Wednesday, Oct 4 2017, 6:11am
Clearly, the mask is down and it's now obvious to all that the USA directly and via its many alternating bought proxy fighters is making a grab for Syria's sovereign resource assets, primarily OIL. Of course this overt grab depends on Putin's reaction. Now consider how US ally, ISIS, assassinated one of Russia's generals in a clear diversionary tactic. Washington hopes that Putin would be true to his known COWARDLY form and defer, as he has always done facing Washington/NATO aggression in the past. Perhaps he may acquiesce again, only he knows, but his track record of abandoning allies is appalling, he is known to dump allies at the most critical time. We have a ruined Yugoslavia and Libya, and many other weaker States to offer as proof. Previous Soviet leaders would have supported such allies to the hilt if for no other reason than to check America's imperial, expansionist aggression.

trumpun.jpg image The First Casualty of Terrorism is Innocence vance, Tuesday, Oct 3 2017, 11:31am
Truth may be the first casualty of war, but INNOCENCE remains the first casualty of terrorism; by definition and consequence, terrorism is the killing of innocent civilians for political purposes regardless of whether the act is committed by a clever or dumbed down sociopath -- America can expect more, much more for the following reasons.

american_flag.jpg image The End of the Star-Spangled Empire Chris Hedges via sal, Tuesday, Oct 3 2017, 2:37am
The following rather gloomy -- for Americans -- piece is accurate and for this reason it is reposted here; however, it should be noted that the world continues usually for the better after the demise of oppressive, rapacious, mass murdering, violent empires which share common core structures/behaviours and the associated inherent weaknesses. Indeed, ALL 'great' empires first fail within usually long before external forces put an end to their terminal twitching and so it is with the USA, which nation has been unraveling for some time. Today's, and recent former national leaders and the destructive, self-interested forces that install and support them are always to blame for undermining the very principles which created strength in the first instance; all things have the seeds of destruction inbuilt genetically and socially. So is it not time to REFORM the poisonous status quo and eliminate the nation-destroying forces responsible for the rapid decline? (story and 1 image)

text RAND details terrifying future of hypersonic missile proliferation — and what US can do to stop it Bob Brigham via reg, Tuesday, Oct 3 2017, 1:03am
A new report by the RAND Corporation warns of the future proliferation of hypersonic missiles.

“Hypersonic missile proliferation would increase the chances of strategic war,” said Richard Speier, lead author of the report (PDF). “It would give nations an incentive to become trigger-happy.”

money_toilet_roll.jpg image Cracks in Dollar Are Getting Larger James Rickards via james, Saturday, Sep 30 2017, 11:43pm
Many readers are familiar with the original petrodollar deal the U.S made with Saudi Arabia. It was set up by Henry Kissinger and Saudi princes in 1974 to prop up the U.S. dollar. At the time, confidence in the dollar was on shaky ground because President Nixon had ended gold convertibility of dollars in 1971. (story and 1 image)

Fat, LYING, billionaire PIG that doesn't give a shit about average Americans -- Confirmed! image Exposed: Lying, Duplicitous, Disgusting Racist SELLOUT FAKE President that Serves the 1% Jenna Johnson via shirl, Saturday, Sep 30 2017, 9:55pm
So much for despicable, lying bastard Trump, who has deferred foreign policy to the deep state's 'permanent war' Pentagon and created a tax plan that favours the 1% to the great cost of the people he pretended to support, notwithstanding his overt racism, lack of political skills and inability to run a large powerful nation. But he's good at bluster, complaining, childish games (North Korea) and playing one ignorant stooge against another and distracting the public from his countless FAILURES and broken promises -- you piece of shit Trump, the sooner an angry citizen you sold out puts a bullet in your head the better for America and the entire WORLD.

text Alternative Media Shoots Self in Foot darcy, Saturday, Sep 30 2017, 1:40am
The latest winger from the alternative bunch is from Alternet, before that Word Socialist Website WSWS, indeed, there is validity to both complaints of INTENTIONAL backgrounding by Google and Facebook and other major IT players able to interfere with information flows and access. However, alternative news sites have only themselves to blame as it was/is a given that the ‘man,’ would eventually contrive a plan and implement a mechanism to stifle free speech on the internet, especially those which oppose the fiction of the dominant mainstream discourse, shaped of course by the CFR.

text The REALITY Behind the Media's Distorted Presentation of Germany's Elections Paul Craig Roberts via cyd, Friday, Sep 29 2017, 6:13am
Despite clear evidence that Washington has chosen the path to conflict with Russia and China, European governments have not objected. Poland, Ukraine, and the Baltics even seem to demand more conflict or a quicker path to conflict. The European peoples themselves have not elected leadership that is willing to repudiate vassalage to Washington and conduct a rational foreign policy toward Russia.

text How Long Must We Endure This Madness -- Psychopaths Rule the World? drake, Friday, Sep 29 2017, 12:43am
I do not see any difference whatsoever in the Nazi propaganda lie of a master race and the US propaganda lie of exceptionalism, though respective populations lap/ped it up. The overt inference of superiority is common to ALL fascist regimes. The similarities between the Nazi Reich and the USA today are almost complete. Except for the gas chambers, they are complete. Both regimes delight in the mass murder of innocents, which they view/ed as inferior humans, tens of millions of innocent civilians, (‘slopes’ and ‘rag heads’) have been murdered as a direct result of criminal US military interventionism, is anyone able to draw a similarity with racist, Nazi military interventionism?

Prior to delivering this ‘transmission’ I would state for the benefit of those that rightfully distrust all forms of media today that I am a tertiary trained expert with decades of practical experience in the art of mass communication, news media, and the art of deception, propaganda, marketing and advertising, that is, SOCIAL MANAGEMENT via ‘perception management’ as the Americans like to call it.

After nearly nine years of a radical experiment injecting tens of trillions of dollars and dollar equivalent currency into their economies, the major central banks of the advanced economies – the Federal Reserve (Fed), Bank of England (BoE), European Central Bank (ECB), Bank of Japan (BoJ), and the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) – appear headed toward reversing the policy of massive liquidity injection they launched in 2008.
