The Zionist Tango: Step Left, Step Right posted by Gideon Levy via simon, 2018-03-08 01:21:37
Grant Smith: I’m very pleased to welcome back Haaretz columnist Gideon Levy. His column in Haaretz, he’s called for greater Israeli empathy towards the suffering of Palestinians. He’s an extremely well-known commentator because of his willingness to take on tough issues. Consequently, he’s no stranger to very intense opposition. His columns about politics, money, how Israel’s military occupation is changing Israeli’s society, and U.S.-Israel relationships are very widely read, reposted and discussed around the world. Who doesn’t get in their inbox a Levy column once in a while? His vocal opposition to Israel’s last major invasion and bombing of Gaza took place against an enormous backdrop of widespread support for the military operation within the Israeli public, and so he gave voice to those who were secretly against the war but cautious about voicing such opinions openly.

   There is No Real News posted by mod, 2018-03-06 00:18:01
Ecclesiastes immediately comes to mind, all human endeavour is folly resulting in ruin and death. However, as accurate as that message is, we continue to arrogantly delude ourselves; of course we are 'better,' more advanced than peoples of the past, though the human disposition and condition has never changed -- what utter foolishness, arrogance and vanities we willingly believe about ourselves.

So What’s New with the Human Race? Nothing! posted by jane, 2018-03-03 00:37:56
Interesting expression, “human race,” as indeed humanity is racing toward oblivion as I write.
The Russian leader V. Putin today announced a new supersonic (nuclear) ICBM, which claim if true, dramatically alters existing military power structures in the world; however, watching the videos of Putin’s new weapon immediately casts doubts as to the veracity of his claims. The videos are of very poor quality considering the high definition of today’s technologies and to add more doubt to his claims, the former Soviet Union, where Putin cut his KGB teeth, was known to exaggerate claims of Soviet power, which the USA and other nations fell for at the time.

 Chinese Leader Xi Jinping Sets Himself Up for Possible Assassination posted by kwang, 2018-03-02 01:53:44
The new emperor of China, Xi Jinping, has established himself as an absolute ruler/autocrat, notwithstanding that after the Mao Zedong fiasco of the cultural revolution and all the associated destruction, destabilisation, regression and horror, later leaders Deng Xiaoping implemented a safeguard in the Chinese communist party, and that WAS that no president could rule for more than ten years, after which the party would elect another leader.

The Downward Spiral posted by Paul Edwards via darcy, 2018-03-01 00:07:29
When empires begin to die, their public acts--in sharp contrast to the ponderous, stately sobriety of their behavior while ascendant--tend to be marked by odd and pathetic eruptions of idiocy, bathos and mania. (full story)

 Why China Is Running Circles Around America posted by Ellen Brown via gail, 2018-02-28 23:52:18
“One Belt, One Road,” China’s $1 trillion infrastructure initiative, is a massive undertaking involving highways, pipelines, transmission lines, ports, power stations, fiber optics and railroads connecting China to Central Asia, Europe and Africa. According to Dan Slane, a former adviser in President Trump’s transition team, “It is the largest infrastructure project initiated by one nation in the history of the world and is designed to enable China to become the dominant economic power in the world.” In a Jan. 29 article titled “Trump’s Plan a Recipe for Failure, Former Infrastructure Advisor Says,” he added, “If we don’t get our act together very soon, we should all be brushing up on our Mandarin.” (full story)

Why One War When We Can Have Two? posted by Eric Margolis via cyd, 2018-02-28 23:24:40
`We will continue to prosecute the campaign against terrorists, but great-power competition – not terrorism – is now the primary focus of US national security.’ Henceforth Russia and China will be America’s main enemies, with Iran and North Korea thrown in for good measure. (full story)

Korean Peace Terrifies War Mongering Washington posted by Tony Cartalucci via gus, 2018-02-28 23:17:19
North Korea has been depicted by the Western media as a dangerous rogue state, plotting the nuclear holocaust of America and holding global peace and stability hostage with its irrational aggression. It is the supposed threat North Korea poses to the world that the United States uses to justify its enduring decades-long military presence on the Korean Peninsula. (full story)

The Corporate Tax Cuts Produce More Jobs, MYTH posted by darcy, 2018-02-28 00:01:36
One of Australia’s big four banks, NAB, released its latest profit report -- the big banks own the game so they always win. The new published profit increase was immediately followed by the shedding of four to six thousand jobs, so much for increased monies producing jobs, and this behaviour applies to all large corporations, as is evident with a modicum of research.
