 The Killers posted by Edward Curtin via jess, 2017-03-25 23:38:57
Individual U.S. Presidents come and go, but the Oval Office is reserved for the Killer-in-Chief. If, as these war-mongers like to say, “the buck stops here,” then our latest incarnation of a “leader,” Donald Trump, has in a few months accumulated enough guilt to last endless lifetimes. There are no excuses. While the headlines scream distractions from the bloodbath, Trump and his “team” are slaughtering innocents in Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and countless other places off the American public’s radar.

What to Do? posted by justin, 2017-03-25 10:32:19
What do YOU do when you know that the American led illegal invasions of Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria etc were pre-planned wars of resource theft, based on orchestrated LIES? These wars resulted in millions of innocent civilian deaths and millions more lives ruined and displaced. (full story)

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.
