 US Provides Military Aid To More Than 70 Percent Of World’s Dictatorships posted by Whitney Webb via stacey, 2017-11-28 05:18:28
About three-quarters of the world’s dictatorships currently receive military assistance from the United States. This is a strange record for a nation that consistently justifies its sweeping foreign interventions as aimed at “promoting democracy” and “thwarting evil dictatorships.” (full story)

Bald Face Racism and Abuse of Refugees posted by Binoy Kampmark via jane, 2017-11-27 05:06:08
It was another etching in a chronicle of extended violence. For days, resistance by refugees and asylum seekers against forced removal from the Lombrom Naval Base on Manus Island had taken very public form. Images of defiance and distress were receiving international attention. With no electricity, with water supplies destroyed, things were getting dire. (full story)

Logic/Education Against Matrix Indoctrination posted by Jon Rappoport via shirl, 2017-11-26 21:48:36
Over the past year, I’ve been in communication with several teachers/educators who have informed me about the descent into more social programming [indoctrination] in school classrooms.
From so-called environmental agendas, to discussions about gender orientation and choice of gender identity, to sex education, to teaching about “liberalism,” the indoctrination is getting thicker and deeper. (full story)

  Queensland State Election Confirms Turnbull's Failed Leadership posted by suzie, 2017-11-25 23:20:46
Indeed,the conservatives were trounced in QLD, not least for the reason that conservative PM, MalcolmTurnbull, who triggered an unnecessary DD election that allowed fringe ultra-right party One Nation to regain a foothold and steal conservative votes from the majors -- Turnbull clearly outsmarted himself with his trickster lawyer failed tactics, notwithstanding he is one of the worst PMs in Australian history, but what does he care, he got his portrait in Parliament House.

From an Open Internet, Back to the Dark Ages of Privileged Elite Rule posted by Jonathan Cook via james, 2017-11-25 22:42:38
Could anyone still doubt that access to a relatively free and open internet is rapidly coming to an end in the west? In China and other autocratic regimes, leaders have simply bent the internet to their will, censoring content that threatens their rule. But in the “democratic” west, it is being done differently. The state does not have to interfere directly – it outsources its dirty work to corporations. (full story)

 Law Flouting Rogue State Intends to Remain in Syria After Terrorists Routed posted by South Front via jane, 2017-11-25 19:35:02
Indeed, the rogue, criminal USA couldn't give a damn about international law, the US-Saudi-Israeli sponsored proxy war in Syria is virtually over and peace negotiations have been planned. However, the USA will have none of it and intends to pursue its 'Assad must go,' policy and ILLEGAL occupation, but this time utilising the bought Kurds as pawns instead of the failed ISIS, Nusra and Al-Qaeda terrorists.
The overtly criminal USA is DIRECTLY responsible for the murder of millions of innocent civilians and children in the Middle East and the displacement of tens of millions more, yet the OBVIOUSLY partial, politicised Hague courts have yet to haul one American into the dock for war and other crimes against humanity, ABSURD!

 Plutocrats Are Pursuing Internet Censorship And They’re Barely Hiding It posted by Caitlin Johnstone via james, 2017-11-24 21:48:43
A few days ago Facebook blocked my account for posting an article about false flag operations around the world, then two days later unblocked me with an apology after I made a big stink about it, saying it was an accident. Things went back to normal, then yesterday something changed and now the only people seeing my posts on that account are Facebook friends I was interacting with back in 2012 and haven’t spoken with in years. A number of users have told me that their post visibility has been really weird there the last few days. (full story)

RT documents (video and text) that Eric Emerson Schmidt, the Executive Chairman of Alphabet – an American multinational conglomerate that owns Google – is working on “de-ranking” alleged propaganda outlets such as Russia Today, RT – the world’s third largest television network – Sputnik and numerous other alternative news sites.

 Trump, "we're really winning," Rest of the World, Really! posted by Akela Lacy via jess, 2017-11-24 05:01:37
As the United States unravels before the eyes of the international community, buffoon president Trump sends a Thanksgiving message from his cozy Florida residence, Mar-a-Lago, to the troops, "we're really winning," notwithstanding the longest failed war in American history, Afghanistan, and the numerous failed States as a direct result of ill-considered, badly planned, US criminal military interventions -- 'winning,' sure you are, demented Donald!
Clearly America is losing on many fronts, especially at home, socially, as clearly indicated by the fact that a psychologically flawed moron and coward is president of the nation, enough said. Wake up America! You are obviously losing EVERYTHING you have built over the past two centuries. The state of the nation speaks for itself. (full story)

Reality Beckons posted by Jon Rappoport via shirl, 2017-11-22 17:11:18
What we call Reality is a hall of mirrors. It reflects itself back and forth and builds up a consensus.
People do the same thing. They confirm with one another that the reality they believe is real is, in fact, real.
And having established that, they live out their lives and make the best of it. (full story)

America’s Renegade Warfare posted by Nicolas J S Davies via jess, 2017-11-22 01:18:53
Seventy-seven million people in North and South Korea find themselves directly in the line of fire from the threat of a Second Korean War. The rest of the world is recoiling in horror from the scale of civilian casualties such a war would cause and the unthinkable prospect that either side might actually use nuclear weapons.

Fake News and NATO’s Plans for “Persuasion and Impacting the Media.” posted by Felicity Arbuthnot via stacey, 2017-11-21 20:37:51
“Having survived Afghanistan, NATO continued to play a significant role in the destruction of Gaddafi’s Libya, and in the destruction of parts of Syria through covertly organising, financing, and arming ISIS forces for the purpose of overthrowing the Assad government. And it continues to serve as a cover for the war making elements in Britain and France. America’s coup in the Ukraine in 2014, which resulted in a crisis in relations with Russia, gave NATO a new lease on life as it helped create entirely uncalled for hysterical fear of Russia in Poland and the Baltic states.” -- Karel van Wolferen, “NATO, a Monstrous Institution” (full story)

 BREAKING: Vladimir Putin Rumoured to Quit posted by jaxie, 2017-11-19 22:40:29
Well, as sure as shit floats so the truth is exposed. According to the UK Independent and Mirror, Putin is 'considering' quitting as Russian leader in order to spend his ill-gotten, graft and corruption money which amounts to hundreds of $billions, which amount would make Putin one of the richest men on the planet -- an impossible outcome for an honest politician in any country let alone impoverished Russia.
