 Immediacy and Distance posted by jake, 2017-03-24 11:01:27
The thunder we hear from a distance is actually shelling, bombs and “hellfire” missiles made in the USA and delivered to civilians in foreign lands by the USA, which nation above all must support its weapons industry, though Russia and China have for a fraction of the cost developed superior weapons..

The Multibillion-Dollar U.S. Spy Agency Few Have Heard Of posted by James Bamford via cyd, 2017-03-23 00:04:17
On a heavily protected military base some 15 miles south of Washington, D.C., sits the massive headquarters of a spy agency few know exists. Even Barack Obama, five months into his presidency, seemed not to have recognized its name. While shaking hands at a Five Guys hamburger restaurant in Washington in May 2009, he asked a customer seated at a table about his job. “What do you [do]?” the president inquired. “I work at NGA, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency,” the man answered. Obama appeared dumbfounded. “So, explain to me exactly what this National Geospatial…” he said, unable to finish the name. Eight years after that videotape aired, the NGA remains by far the most shadowy member of the Big Five spy agencies, which include the CIA and the National Security Agency. (full story)

Seal Team 6 to Rehearse for Absurd Fiasco in North Korea posted by jack, 2017-03-16 00:43:15
Remember the socially mythologised, now infamous, military killers/assassins known particularly in Hollywood, as Seal Team 6, which group is reputed to have killed an already dead, from renal failure, Osama Bin Laden. The TRUTH about Bin Laden’s real death was publicly announced by Benazir Bhutto, former leader of Pakistan, shortly before SHE was assassinated herself(?) (full story)

 The Australian Apron-String Dilemma posted by baz, 2017-03-14 23:18:31
Recently, useless Oz PM Malcolm Turnbull, who is DIRECTLY responsible for ALL his party’s DRAMATIC losses in various State elections, lauded the delivery of perhaps the most badly designed, disfunctional, outrageously costly US combat jet fighter ever produced -- the F-35 strike ‘lemon.’ Previous jet fighter models like the F-16 are easily able to blow it out of the sky, notwithstanding that Russian built Sukhois, at a fraction of the cost of the F-35 and (unfortunately) purchased by Australia’s regional neighbours, make mince out of the F-35 in combat.

The USA is Being Sucked into a Mid-East Vortex of Ruin - as Cheney once Predicted posted by janet, 2017-03-14 01:19:55
Good military strategists always have a ‘plan B’ as a fall back option if ‘plan A,’ known historically in America as PNAC, fails and FAIL it has, miserably. The entire Middle East is now virtually out of control with western supported proxy fighters changing sides as often as they change their underwear, which some would say is not very often, however, changing flags and rebel leaders is now routine, few in the West know what is really going on, caught up in the delusion that they are in control, well, yes they are, in control of a military interventionist nightmare, fast becoming uncontrollable.

Recriminations Fly over Failing Western Global Strategies posted by kwang zi, 2017-03-12 09:42:28
While the blinded captured western population is awash with western propaganda and ‘fake news’ the majority of the world’s population in Eurasia are watching their leaders making rapid progress which will soon over-shadow any gains the destructive war mongering west has made, in fact, western strategies for world take-over are unravelling as I write, but not so in Eurasia.

 Eurasia: The Strategic Triangle that Is Changing the World posted by Federico Pieraccini via claire, 2017-03-12 04:44:39
Away from the current chaos in the United States, major developments are progressing, with Iran, Russia and China coordinating on a series of significant moves crucial for the future of the Eurasian continent. With a population of more than five billion people, constituting about two-thirds of the Earth’s population, the future of humanity passes through this immense area. Signaling a major change from a unipolar world order based on Europe and the United States to a multipolar world steered by China, Russia and Iran, these Eurasian states are carving out a leading role in the development of the vast continent. As part of the challenges faced by these leading multipolar countries, the disruptive events originating in the post-WWII Euro-Atlantic world order will need to be tackled. (full story)

 WikiLeaks' Vault 7 -- Timing posted by zed, 2017-03-12 00:56:30
Julian Assange is a curious character with clear martyr complex tendencies, however, he has recently hit hard against his enemy, the USA, which of course has vowed to arrest and place him on trial for breaches of America’s espionage laws, which I should add, should also be applied to US intel agencies as it has become obvious the CIA is in breach of so many local and international communications laws it's outrageous. So let’s apply those laws to a now obviously ROGUE Central Intelligence Agency. (full story)

Wikileaks’ Vault 7 exposes the CIA as a Malevolent Disease not an Agency protecting Americans posted by baz, 2017-03-10 06:05:01
Do you remember why and how the CIA was formed, to protect America from other STATES which could possibly do it harm. Which means the CIA was initially formed as an international operational espionage and counter-espionage agency. But after William Binney, Ed Snowden and now Julian Assange’s revelations, the CIA is now PUBLIC enemy No. 1. and MUST be completely cleaned out and restored to its former important role, protecting not attacking AMERICANS.

The Future of Freedom posted by William Binney via shirl, 2017-03-09 20:29:33

Total Screen: How Baudrillard Anticipated Trump posted by Pepe Escobar via gail, 2017-03-09 08:21:41
Well, an entertaining and hilarious piece Pepe; stomping around our post-modern world like a drunken elephant becomes you. I think you have found your real calling. Well done and much appreciated as a break from the morbidity of actual reality, as opposed to Baudrillard's re-presentation of himself as an indigo coloured spectacles maker.
"Drunken Nietzsche" indeed, I'm not sure he even indulged, he was too busy going nuts though he contributed much to our latest mis-understanding of subjectivity taken to insane extremes, let's see which of them gets it right in the 'END'. Though I favour Nietzsche, he lived his last thesis as mental implosion, now that's integrity! (full story)

 Chaos Above = Cohesion Below posted by lynkz, 2017-03-08 22:04:56
The ‘underground’ is swelling with remarkably skilled and talented people, which of course surface culture considers criminals, they should talk! I’m referring to ethical hackers that target and weaken criminal States, especially America, the undisputed leading criminal State in the world today. (full story)
