Former Google engineer James Damore is suddenly between jobs. He's been fired, Bloomberg reports, for writing "an internal memo blasting the web company's diversity policies."

 It May Be Time To Shoot Trump posted by mitch, 2017-08-11 07:03:14
The American people in their lack of wisdom have placed a nutter in the White House with executive powers that enable a demented, UNSTABLE, ranting clown to trigger a nuclear war, clearly there is no measure to fathom the lack of intelligence of the American people. That said, the onus is now placed on the global population, all of which are affected by an AMERICAN madman with his finger on the doomsday button. (full story)

The US-Led West and International Terrorism posted by Prof. Jules Dufour via gail, 2017-08-08 01:19:59
The fallacious discourse propagated in the international political arena continues to legitimize Western warfare operations, by hiding the factors behind them. This assertion is corroborated by all those who have understood the underlying stratagems of propaganda of power politics. Two of them, Noam Chomsky and André Vltchek, proposed an analysis of this global situation in a book published by Éditions écosociété, entitled “The Wes’ Terrorism [L’Occident Terroriste]. From Hiroshima to the Drones’ War”. They give a picture of past centuries: (full story)

 Google’s chief search engineer legitimizes new censorship algorithm posted by Andre Damon via jane, 2017-08-08 00:36:46
Between April and June, Google completed a major revision of its search engine that sharply curtails public access to Internet web sites that operate independently of the corporate and state-controlled media. Since the implementation of the changes, many left wing, anti-war and progressive web sites have experienced a sharp fall in traffic generated by Google searches. The World Socialist Web Site has seen, within just one month, a 70 percent drop in traffic from Google. (full story)

Neocons Leverage Trump-Hate for More Wars posted by Robert Parry via claire, 2017-08-06 22:45:31
A savvy Washington observer once told me that the political reality about the neoconservatives is that they alone couldn’t win you a single precinct in the United States. But both Republicans and Democrats still line up to gain neocon support or at least neocon acceptance. (full story)

For Those That Imagine Otherwise posted by suzie, 2017-08-06 00:40:36
For the uninformed that either do not understand the treacherous power of the US Deep State or disregard it as fanciful, consider how it assassinated JFK and framed patsy Oswald; after which, the same nefarious group killed his brother Robert. Coincidence? Not likely, the Kennedy’s vigorously opposed the CIA and other Deep State forces and so they were murdered by the Deep State along with MLK and numerous others in a spate of assassinations and murders of political and even pop star activists, including Hendrix, as a London hospital employee exposed -- indeed Mr “business man” (oligarchs and plutocrats) don’t point your plastic finger at me! RIP, Jimi. (full story)

 Fake News A US Media Speciality posted by Paul Craig Roberts via dulcie, 2017-08-05 22:15:12
The American media specializes in fake news. Indeed, since the Clinton regime the American media has produced nothing but fake news. Do you remember the illegal US bombing and destruction of Yugoslavia? Do you remember "war criminal" Slobodan Milosevic, the Serbian president branded "the butcher of the Balkans," who was compared to Hitler until Hillary passed the title on to the President of Russia? Milosevic, not Bill Clinton, was arrested and placed on trial at the International Criminal Tribunal. He died in prison, some say murdered, before he was cleared of charges by the International Criminal Tribunal. (full story)

 Commonwealth Bank of Australia facing $1 trillion penalty for breaches of money laundering laws posted by Belinda Jepsen via shirl, 2017-08-05 00:23:44
The Commonwealth Bank was once a national citizen-owned bank and was never plagued with scandals and unethical behaviour. However, former corrupt puppet PM Paul Keating deregulated the banking sector and delivered the Commonwealth Bank to the private sector, after which it was riddled with the usual private sector scandals -- what did you expect, Australia, especially with foreign CEOs?

Trump has already deferred his presidential prerogatives and authority to the Pentagon, the CIA and other agencies, ALL servile to the global financial elite, which group is manically profit-only driven but with a good dash of insanity. (full story)
