 The Hardly Mentioned War posted by jake, 2016-11-25 23:55:11
Not since Dr Alfred McCoy’s, “Politics of Heroin in South East Asia,” has anyone dared to address the current Heroin war being waged primarily against Russia and China by the USA via Afghanistan and Central Asia. (full story)

  Google to Censor 'Fake News' posted by Robert Parry via jess, 2016-11-19 22:53:59
Google is at it again, working hand in glove with government to participate in a new internet information-suppression trick to censor and eliminate what it calls, "Fake News." This is an almost comical endeavour from a government and 'real' news outlets that lied about WMD in Iraq, the Washington orchestrated coup in the Ukraine, etc etc. However, Google is ready to run with this absurd big brother tactic to control information on the net by labeling it, "Fake News." Be aware people. I would add that Google is not the only good search engine out there, or that Facebook's compliance is primarily to secure the CEO's bottom line. Anyone attacking free speech is mortally afraid of something -- could it perhaps be the Truth? People are sick and tired of the FAKE news and raw propaganda issuing from the mainstream media, not from alternative sources. (full story)

Trump’s $1 Trillion Infrastructure Plan posted by Ellen Brown via gail, 2016-11-16 22:44:19
In Donald Trump’s victory speech after the presidential election, he vowed:
'We are going to fix our inner cities and rebuild our highways, bridges, tunnels, airports, schools, hospitals. We’re going to rebuild our infrastructure, which will become, by the way, second to none. And we will put millions of our people to work as we rebuild it.' (full story)

The Elite Status Quo posted by jude, 2016-11-16 00:51:15
Dynastic elite families have ruled the world since the time of the Pharaohs, so it’s no surprise they rule the world today. However, history informs us time and again that when the “let them eat cake,” elites lose touch or apply harsh living pressures on their enslaved subjects, the slaves revolt and take their revenge on their elite rulers.

Core Issues Confronting Human Survival Remain in Background posted by jess, 2016-11-14 22:43:47
But do not despair, there’s plenty of packaged ‘news/media distractions’ on the American elections, which continues to fascinate the mindless. It must be admitted, corporate media moguls know their stuff, never have I seen such effective mass mesmerism. But isn’t the American presidency a critical matter? Well, yes, if it mattered at all, BUT it DOESN’T for the simple reason, stated by a previous contributor, the White House is simply the servants quarters of the REAL rulers of America and the Western world, fact. American presidents have been taking ORDERS since JFK. Presidents do NOT lead anymore they serve minority interests which of course completely subverts democracy, or majority rule by representation. It is almost immaterial which puppet is installed in the White House as the Status Quo never misses a beat. So wake up nose-ringed masses, your well being and lives are at stake. (full story)

Democracy my Arse! posted by jo, 2016-11-13 23:02:38
Anyone that claims that we live in a democracy is either a liar or deluded -- name one western society that is a democracy, which, by definition, is characterised by MAJORITY rule, either by direct PARTICIPATION or by REAL representation. The rude shock for all western dreamboats is no such system prevails in any western nation. ALL winning political parties, though making the most absurd pre-election promises, instantly capitulate to MINORITY interests once they take office -- FACT, and the sooner you confirm that REALITY the better chance you and your respective nation have of surviving unrepresentative, enslaving, elite rule; which interests today have all western societies tightly harnessed via DEBT SLAVERY and MEDIA management, which mechanisms are elite owned.

 Americans -- Do Not Fall for the Usual Post-election Anaesthesia posted by justin, 2016-11-12 21:22:14
The global ruling elite are not altogether unhappy with Trump’s ascendancy to the White House, after all he’s a billionaire and emerged from their ranks. Notice the stability of ALL elite enterprises, primarily the stock market, it only fluttered for a day, less in fact than the Brexit impact. So all appears fine in the shadowy halls of elite global power. (full story)

A New Face On the Same Old System posted by Roger Boyd via jess, 2016-11-12 00:50:16
When something is broken beyond repair you trash it, literally. However, the common sense approach doesn't seem to apply to broken political systems that are beyond repair. Various factions from the entire political spectrum have reacted to billionaire Trump's election by up'ing the ante on their political beliefs and going to extremes, which beliefs in falied systems are of course the reasons/causes that broke the system/machine. We should all realise that current political systems are beyond rehabilitation, they MUST be trashed if we are to survive, and those that resist must be trashed with the failed systems they foolishly cling to.

Did TRUTH get a Look-in During the Presidential Election? posted by Zed, 2016-11-10 21:40:34
The title is a rhetorical question, the media (saturated) distraction of the presidential ‘race’ served to COMPLETELY CAPTURE THE MINDS of not only the easily led moronic masses, but alternative media analysts and independent journos. It seems that every commentator was feeding from the carefully placed (by CFR media moguls) trough of unadulterated media ‘perception management,’ distractive shit, WHICH ALWAYS SERVES TO HIDE TRUTH/REALITY!

 So Long, Leonard posted by rayn, 2016-11-10 18:43:36
Leonard Cohen has 'kicked the frame' at 82, but as outstanding poets know, we all continue to write in the effulgence of universal creation. At times we see a work inscribed by a comet on the medium of the night sky; this universe is saturated in creative delight -- it never ceases.
People with the sense sojourning on this troubled sphere will miss one of our own. You have been released comrade, delight in your new journey and freedom. (full story)

 Obama’s Response to Trump Victory posted by jake, 2016-11-09 20:05:52
The following video (speech) is essentially damage control by elite servant/puppet Obama; there are some juicy undisguised nuggets in this clearly scripted ‘speech,’ the foremost being his analogous reference to the presidency as a “relay run,” in other words passing the baton in the SAME race -- the elite formulated STATUS QUO -- which Trump PROMISED the people to eradicate.

The Insular, ‘let them eat cake,’ Global Elite are Approaching the Steps of the Guillotine posted by ned, 2016-11-09 08:58:49
You’d think they would have learned after the Brexit vote, but no, they tried to install Clinton in the White House using the same old tired -- now transparent -- media saturation and polls LIES. (full story)

Doomsday Election posted by Mike Whitney via cyd, 2016-11-08 22:16:02
This is what it must feel like to be on Death Row, to be waiting for the moment when the iron door clangs open for the last time and four burly guards escort you arm-in-arm to the room where your life will be extinguished. That same sense of dread hangs over the presidential election of 2016. (full story)

 “Rope. Tree. Journalist.” posted by dave via jake, 2016-11-07 21:33:43
A T-shirt worn by a Trump supporter vented the anger most people feel toward servile journalists these days -- AND not only in America. Never have we seen such overt distortion and partiality in the media. (full story)
