  John McCain Avowed Warmonger posted by drew, 2017-05-08 23:49:28
It is apparent that certain members of the US Congress have little concern for innocent human lives. This extends dramatically to disturbed pathological types like John McCain, who once sang a distorted Beach Boys song along the lines of, “Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran," publically, and thought himself proud for that clearly insane, infantile act. I need not stress the point that McCain is a warmonger in the first degree. He imagines like all extremists that violence solves problems when history has taught the world it only increases devastating problems. (full story)

 Hope, the Opiate of the Masses Today posted by suzie, 2017-05-07 20:58:55
There is no doubt the world is going to hell in a hand basket, all one need do is LOOK at the prevailing reality not listen to the ‘news.’ When we do that we see outrageous provocations and orchestrated lies targeted at America’s perceived (nuclear) enemies, which remain in opposition to any American or other domination. Those targeted nations like the rest of us, wish to preserve their sovereign independent status under international law, live and let live, is how they see things, furthermore, they believe in co-operation not domination.

For Fuck’s Sake are WE Pathetic or What? posted by jason, 2017-05-06 23:09:05
You needn’t be clairvoyant to realise the Truth of the US planning a pre-emptive nuclear strike on Russia and China, it’s in our comatose faces on a DAILY basis. The thoroughly insane neocons, “what's the point of having nuclear weapons if you don’t use them,” that control Washington and ALL modern presidents, are preparing NOW, it’s self-evident if you have the eyes to SEE. Neocon doctrine (PNAC) openly published for the world to see, espouses “Pax-Americana,” which means lordship over all nations. It states openly that any nation that “could” challenge US hegemony must be thwarted, and today only two nations are able to resist successfully this perverse plan, Russia and China! (full story)

United States Says ‘Yes’ to Nuclear Weapons Tests, ‘No’ to a Treaty Ban posted by John Laforge via gail, 2017-05-06 02:01:09
In the words of arch-neocon, Richard Perle, "what's the point of having nuclear weapons if you don't use them?"
Now understand that neocons remain in control of foreign policy in Washington and you would realise that the USA is preparing for a pre-emptive nuclear strike on Russia and China and both those powers know it. Informed readers would also note the preparations for such an attack. Russia's European land borders have offensive anti-missile systems installed and the same is now occurring in close proximity to China. These American anti-missile systems have led neocon nut-cases like Perle and others today, to believe that a nuclear pre-emptive strike would be successful against nuclear powers Russia and China, well yes they would, for cockroaches! Do a little research and the mass media hidden obvious would become obvious to all! (full story)

Slavery 2017 posted by Peter Koenig via dulcie, 2017-05-06 01:16:48
In the 18th and 19th centuries, African slaves that did not ‘behave’, were cruelly beaten sometimes to death, as a deterrent to others. Slaves were deprived of food for their families, their women were raped and then they were usually traded to harsher white masters for a pittance. Their lives were worth only what their labor could produce. They were viewed and treated as subjects, devoid of human rights. (full story)

Fiction and Fact -- the ‘news’ conundrum posted by jane, 2017-05-05 00:14:14
To highlight what textual and semiotic theorists argue I would ask that you consider the fact that realities cannot be successfully translated from three dimensions to lesser dimensions, for instance, reality is three dimensional, text, video and images are trapped in two dimensions. So essentially all reporting of a three dimensional event fails the truth test, as it cannot be re-presented successfully. However, it would be impractical not to report information as best we can, the world, especially culture, is shaped and floats on a ‘sea’ of information, false or otherwise. (full story)

 The Rise of Censorship Algorithms posted by Robert Parry via jaxie, 2017-05-03 21:12:01
Just days after sporting First Amendment pins at the White House Correspondents Dinner – to celebrate freedom of the press – the mainstream U.S. media is back to celebrating a very different idea: how to use algorithms to purge the Internet of what is deemed “fake news,” i.e. what the mainstream judges to be “misinformation.” (full story)

Heartland America has been gutted and its people left on the scrapheap, the country’s infrastructure is approaching that of a third world nation.

A World at War -- where are the Peacemakers? posted by William Hawes via jess, 2017-04-28 21:44:57
Where is the outrage regarding the Trump administration’s bellicose attitude towards North Korea? The past two weeks have been a blur of outright savagery towards other nations, with cruise missiles raining down on Syrians and one giant bomb on an ISIS “cave complex” in Afghanistan. Now, the Donald has promised to send his “armada” towards the Sea of Japan, after it was found heading in the opposite direction a couple weeks ago. (full story)
