 Syria Madhouse -- US Illegal Policy to remain makes it Crazier posted by Eric Margolis via jane, 2018-02-04 20:54:46
Last summer, I was positioned just across the border from the Syrian town of Afrin around which Turkish and Kurdish and, possibly, American forces, are now poised for a head-on clash. It seems crazy to me that anyone would want to fight over this one-donkey farm town. We were there on a mission to rescue wild animals trapped in a zoo in war-torn Aleppo, Syria. (full story)

I walked into the kitchen the other day only to hear our illustrious defence industries minister Christopher Pyne on the radio answering a question relating to the recent horrific suicide bombing in Kabul which left 100 dead and 250 wounded. (full story)

 Full "Nunes Memo" Formally Released posted by Rep. Devin Nunes via jack, 2018-02-02 23:37:50
Many analysts describe the hysteria surrounding this memo as a massive distraction -- there is nothing new about FBI, CIA and NSA criminality; see this recent post. We should never lose sight of the broader picture that these agencies serve deep state and criminal elite interests NOT the nation or people -- that is the REAL STORY behind the specifics of the memo, which memo, like a (media) cobra, has almost everyone fascinated at the expense of seeing the larger conspiracy.

Fake News -- the Life Blood of the Mass Media posted by jay, 2018-02-02 02:36:47
America does not have a mass media anymore, what was left of it died in the 70's and 80's; today it has a propaganda apparatus which includes, radio, television, Hollywood movies etc. All of which outlets serve the State by spewing propaganda and fantasy 24/7, which messages the vast majority of Americans continue to believe and live by. Regardless of how many of these fabricated stories are exposed as false, Americans continue to consume this sewage daily, which is also saturated with sexual titillation, myths of America's "greatness" and other feel good fiction stories to make the duped herd feel good about their lot as slaves and nose-ringed, expendable, resource animals.

American Regulatory and Intel Agencies Rotten to the Core posted by Ted Snider via cyd, 2018-02-01 20:26:32
Indeed, as the following story and history verifies, FBI, CIA and NSA crimes against the NATION/people are plentiful, particularly destroying evidence that could compromise their fellow criminals in high places, if not the entire cancerous deep state itself.
Meanwhile, these nefarious agencies think nothing of invading the privacy and monitoring innocent CITIZENS, all of which information remains on record; now note the lame NSA excuse -- deleted to “free-up space.” Pathetic and laughable as the days of 10mg hard drives and floppy discs are long gone, notwithstanding that 'space' has never been an issue for these agencies at the time of the intentional deletions -- who are these CRIMINAL clowns trying to kid?

China's Long Profitable Digital March posted by Pepe Escobar via gus, 2018-02-01 01:32:17
China's strongest weapon is business, pure and simple. It's a winner as any half-brain could determine. But for American quarter-brains it needs to be explained. Business is mutually beneficial the way China plays it with foreign nations everyone wins/benefits though of course China ensures it comes out on top, which is not begrudged by the nations it does business with. Why? Simply due to the fact that other nations profit in many ways, infrastructure programs and economic development. Now compare to America's foreign policies/relations which reduces to lies, war, exploitation and self-interest and you have a losing formula, plain to see. (full story)

 US Now Surpasses Cayman Islands to Become Second Largest Tax Haven on Earth posted by Julia Conley via julie, 2018-01-31 00:52:29
"This is not a ranking in which the U.S. wants to be number one or even number two. We have one of the strongest economies and one of the most secret. It's a perfect recipe for attracting the proceeds of crime, corruption, and tax evasion." (full story)

 AFP lost hundreds of National Security files posted by Ashlynne McGhee and Michael McKinnon via james, 2018-01-30 21:11:11
Australia is part of the "five eyes" network of spying nations which were formed primarily by the NSA so host nations could spy on local populations without the need of warrants and to circumvent local laws; it is/was illegal for US agencies, for instance, to spy on Americans, so in order for agencies to circumvent local laws they spied from other compliant nations, a despicable dirty trick to say the least.

 Evangelical Christian and U.S. VP Mike Pence Spits in the Eye of Judaism posted by Amit Gvaryahu via jude, 2018-01-29 18:11:12
The author has done an excellent job of analysing Pence's recent speech in Jerusalem. The author analysed the secondary layer discourse, which most often transmits the real message, usually subliminally, as the focus of the conscious mind is on the primary layer discourse. The REAL: message is an eye-opener and should be a shock to all Jews as it denigrates their faith, or at best places it in a subservient relationship with Christianity. (full story)

How many nations on the planet today have a ‘perpetual war’ strategy for world hegemony? ONE, AMERICA! Arrogant neocon clowns actually published the fact in the PNAC document for the world to read, and what a thoroughly psychopathic document it is. (full story)

 The INFORMATION/propaganda WAR -- the continuous war of our Time posted by jake, 2018-01-27 21:07:12
The masses are often distracted by physical war with its bombs, planes, ships and human casualties, very dramatic. However, history notes that prior to any military, confrontational war the common population/herd must be made compliant and accept that the leaders of the warring nation are fighting for some mythical cause such as freedom, liberty, justice, against ‘terror’ etc. It becomes clear that propaganda is the essential supporting factor behind all military wars, as without it the people would not fight or hesitate to fight; the Nazis perfected this method as the German population like other developed nations were highly educated, so (false) information became a necessity for criminal states.
