The System is Flawed Beyond Repair -- a NEW Paradigm is the Only Sane and Practical Solution posted by darcy, 2017-09-03 01:42:15
All one need do to understand the abysmal state of world and local affairs is to look at the mass media news of late, view it objectively and do not allow yourself to be swept away with its tailored emotive triggers and you would see it for what it really is transmitting, an extreme pathological condition, which supports not the people’s or nation’s interests but the insanity of shadow governments and military weapons manufacturers -- CORPORATIONS that would see the world devastated by war, perhaps nuclear, in order to turn a profit. Such is the manic insanity of it ALL today! (full story)

 Google Searches Find Only What Google Allows you to Find posted by cyd, 2017-09-01 22:44:12
Indeed, since Google launched its ‘shaping’ algorithms, which it said would tailor our needs and make our searches more personal, all one gets is the same old crap. Google has yet to realise that people are not numbers they change their interests/searches for numerous reasons, however, Google’s primitive math continues to shape searches and in effect attempts to determine our world view -- now that is clearly not its task. Search results should never be predetermined or shaped by algorithms or anything else. (full story)

This is without doubt the most important informative video on Youtube -- if you care about your lives and the nation link it to absolutely everyone you know and assist in restoring the nation and the world to sanity. And never forget the last word and most powerful action of reform is from and rests with informed PEOPLE, as has always been and always will be the case. We do NOT have to tolerate these CRIMINALS, which must be held to account, ALL of them. We are all able to DEMAND JUSTICE and see it REALIZED. (full story)

 The BIG LIE Factory posted by suzie, 2017-08-31 01:10:20
The level of trust in our media ‘information’ systems is plummeting faster than the temperature in an Arctic winter and for very good reason. The mass media is owned and controlled by oligarchs and billionaire plutocrats that take pride in their ability to guide the cultural consciousness in whichever direction THEY collectively choose. However, when that machine breaks, as it has since the BIG LIE of 9/11 (external ‘terrorists’) and Iraq WMD, continuing illegal invasions based on now transparent pretexts, which blatant media propaganda facilitated. Consider the utter destruction of Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Yemen, Sudan, the Yugoslavian state, Syria etc etc, based on LIES (now exposed) though the list of ruined nations goes on and on.

 Truth posted by zed, 2017-08-29 12:27:57
Truth exists, another word for truth is reality and it is apprehendable but not by the senses or empirical observation/measurement because the REAL TRUTH is unutterable, beyond language and culture, beyond the five senses; do you believe, because if you do you live in ignorance, there is no room for belief or faith in Truth, it is self-evident.

 How Faith-based Thinking Helps Facilitate Alt-right, Racist, Illiberal, Anti-democratic Politics posted by Religion Dispatches via darcy, 2017-08-28 08:17:58
The inspiration for Hitler’s Monsters was, like Living With Hitler, in some respects contemporary. I began researching Living With Hitler in the early 2000s, in the wake of 9/11 and the Iraq War, when many American (and British) liberals appeared to be making cynical concessions to the forces of nationalism, imperialism, and autocracy. I wanted to understand why liberal-minded German Democrats appeared to make even more problematic concessions in the 1930s and 40s. Hitler’s Monsters was inspired, similarly, by contemporary questions: namely, in what way did supernatural, conspiratorial, faith-based thinking and an aversion to science and reason help facilitate “alt-right,” racist, illiberal, anti-democratic politics?

 The Deep State's Drug Racket posted by Pepe Escobar via mitch, 2017-08-28 00:37:00
Afghanistan is now the world's largest supplier of opium/heroin, no surprise. If readers care to join the dots with a little research, it would become apparent that wherever the CIA/Pentagon wage their illegal wars over an extended period, that area/region becomes a HUGE source of heroin (and cocaine from Latin America).

Attorney General, Jeff Sessions MUST be forced to resign after allowing Trump to interfere with the independent US legal/Justice system. Trump's unilateral pardon is an outrage as Arpaio's crimes are widely known and legally condemned, however, a neutered AG has failed his nation and his position. (full story)
