  How Central Banks are Creating the Next Financial Crisis posted by Jack Rasmus via jane, 2017-08-26 22:15:05
As central bankers, finance ministers, and government policy makers head off to their annual gathering at Jackson Hole, Wyoming, this August, 24-26, 2017, the key topic is whether the leading central banks in North America and Europe will continue to raise interest rates this year; another topic high on the agenda is when the three major central banks – the Federal Reserve, European Central Bank and Bank of England – might begin to sell off their combined US$9.8 trillion dollar balance sheets that they accumulated since the 2008-09 banking crisis.

 The Last of the Bannonites, Sebastian Gorka, ousted from White House posted by nell, 2017-08-25 23:55:07
The last of the scorched earth Bannonite ideologues has been forced to resign from his position as deputy assistant to the president, make no mistake. His forced departure leaves Trump castrated and completely under the control of unrepresentative deep state, perpetual war forces -- prospects for the WORLD look grim, as it is widely known that deep state forces pursue war and more war, though their record in this area is clearly catastrophic, but such is the condition of avaricious criminal psychopaths.

The CIA and Me (Or How I Learned Not to Love Big Brother) posted by Dr Al McCoy via shirl, 2017-08-25 09:58:31
In the wake of the 2001 terrorist attacks, Washington pursued its elusive enemies across the landscapes of Asia and Africa, thanks in part to a massive expansion of its intelligence infrastructure, particularly of the emerging technologies for digital surveillance, agile drones, and biometric identification. In 2010, almost a decade into this secret war with its voracious appetite for information, the Washington Post reported that the national security state had swelled into a “fourth branch” of the federal government -- with 854,000 vetted officials, 263 security organizations, and over 3,000 intelligence units, issuing 50,000 special reports every year.

‘Sticks and Stones ...’ posted by refo, 2017-08-25 00:14:45
With the world teetering on nuclear warfare it is astonishing that the American mass media is pursuing freedom of speech issues relating to the overt racism of that nation. Racism in America is a given, the world is aware of it, which other nation would ignore the crimes of Iraq, Libya, Syria, which are parallel to Hitler’s Nazi atrocities -- “we came, we saw, he died,” (Clinton) or how about killing over 500,000 Iraqi infants and young children is worth the STOLEN barrel of oil (Albright) -- at least 1.5 million INNOCENT ‘Iraqi’ (Arab) men, women and children murdered by the US and tens of millions displaced, and you doodle dreamboats are concerned about petty “statue” racism in the South -- get a fuckin’ grip for Christ’s sake.

The Privatization of Water: Nestlé Denies that Water is a Fundamental Human Right posted by Kevin Samson via jane, 2017-08-23 23:21:03
The current Chairman and former CEO of Nestlé, the largest producer of food products in the world, believes that the answer to global water issues is privatization. This statement is on record from the wonderful company that has peddled junk food in the Amazon, has invested money to thwart the labeling of GMO-filled products, has a disturbing health and ethics record for its infant formula, and has deployed a cyber army to monitor Internet criticism and shape discussions in social media.

 USA -- International Laughing Stock for Very Valid Reasons posted by darcy, 2017-08-23 22:24:56
Nations around the globe watch the ineptitudes and antics of the USA and its completely incompetent, pathologically flawed leader, Donald Trump with dismay, shock, amusement and satisfaction -- a strange mix; however, many have missed the critical symptoms of a state unravelling, which the US Navy signals to the world and what applies to one section of the US military applies to the others, though with varying degrees of incompetence and disarray.

Infantilism and the Fate of the World posted by claire, 2017-08-22 23:55:14
As children we are taught and forced by circumstance to take RESPONSIBILITY for our lives, those that resist become pathological personalities, infants in adult bodies, displaying all the characteristics of infants, chucking tantrums and blaming others when things do not go their way; maturing adults must navigate new opposing forces as they develop as a matter of survival -- which forces are varied but for the sake of simplicity loosely characterised here into positive and negative or constructive and destructive. Those that succeed in assessing, balancing and learning lessons from all the forces and circumstances that confront them become mature successful adults. (full story)

 Trump: Dead Man Walking posted by justin, 2017-08-21 01:14:28
No matter which perspective you take, Trump is finished. Many informed analysts and commentators attribute his inglorious demise to the Washington swamp or deep state, however, they were simply the means by which Trump brought himself undone, perhaps the deep state realised that if they persisted in their orchestrated attacks/agenda to remove him from office, Trump would do the rest himself. And surely he has. (full story)

 Nuclear Trigger-happy, Overt Fascist and Racist, "Trump Must Go!” posted by des, 2017-08-19 21:46:35
The Trump ‘administration’ -- if you could call it that -- has been unraveling faster than Trump is able to patch it together, the reason is not Steve Bannon, who proclaimed publicly that there was no military solution for North Korea, though Trump, guided by Washington swamp neocons, CIA and Pentagon hawks was happy to threaten the lives of everyone on the planet with a nuclear holocaust -- this is no exaggeration -- as China announced clearly that if the USA were to launch a pre-emptive strike on North Korea, China would intervene on NK’s behalf, which also includes Russia due to their mutual military alliance, and so the world was facing the real possibility of a nuclear holocaust due to the stupidity of the American population installing an inept sociopath into power with the executive powers to launch a nuclear war -- well done America!

US Mass Media Pulls Plug on Russiagate and Nuclear War Threats posted by cyd, 2017-08-19 02:42:23
It is quite remarkable how quick the deep state-'owned' (CFR) American mass media distracts and moves focus from hyper-critical issues/stories. Take for instance the most critical story deserving of constant pursuit, Trump’s LUNATIC threats to engage in a nuclear war with North Korea, as if it was a backyard fight. (full story)

 Goldman Sachs warns investors to expect government shutdown as Trump support tanks posted by Bob Brigham via claire, 2017-08-19 01:29:11
As is widely known, the most powerful of the criminal mega-banks on Wall Street, G Sachs, which caused the global economy to collapse in 2008, is an inside player and so if it predicts a government shutdown, which it is able to control via its political puppets in Washington, it is worthy of note.

 The USA to ILLEGALLY Occupy Syria for Decades -- cop that Mr 'gutless' Putin! posted by sal, 2017-08-18 22:58:38
It should first be stated that America's invasion and occupation of Syria is in clear breach of numerous international laws and conventions. However, laws are only written in books, it is clearly the responsibility of other powerful, law-abiding nations to enforce international laws. Russia's involvement in Syria is 100% legal and so the onus for correcting ongoing American crimes is clearly placed on Russia, its allies and the pathetic, corrupted, Hague courts. (full story)
