  "Rigged" Elections in the U.S. -- so what's New? posted by Paul Craig Roberts via jaxie, 2016-10-21 22:16:03
It is an obvious fact that the oligarchic One Percent have anointed Hillary, despite her myriad problems, to be President of the US. There are reports that her staff are already moving into their White House offices. This much confidence before the vote does suggest that the skids have been greased. (full story)

 The Literal American Dream(World) posted by jake, 2016-10-21 01:14:25
The world is witnessing America in the raw, especially the race for the presidency in this PROFOUNDLY lost nation. Lost! You bet it is, as the vast majority of Americans live in a media constructed dreamworld. Remember Donald Rumsfeld’s, infamous statement, “We know Saddam has WMD because he just has!” I mean really, this is the ‘statement/argument’ of an infantile pea-brain, but it worked ON MEDIA LOBOTOMISED, Americans. No real evidence was ever supplied to mount the illegal war on Iraq, which resulted in a ruined nation today. (full story)

It’s Time America -- Boycott the Major Parties posted by jess, 2016-10-18 22:27:31
The western masses are making democracy a reality again. The majority of people in the UK have clearly rejected the status quo and rejected major owned, corrupt and UNREPRESENTATIVE parties. The Brexit vote speaks volumes, as both major parties supported staying in the EU. Australia and other nations have seen an over 30% swing AWAY from major unrepresentative parties. But it’s America that holds the key to the future, as it’s the most powerful military nation on earth. World peace is in your hands. (full story)

Western Mass Media Channels Orwell's 1984 posted by Jonathan Cook via shirl, 2016-10-18 21:08:16
This has been occurring for some time, the following example of 'double think' attributed to the Guardian UK is not confined to that outlet, the entire western mass media, including 'public' broadcasters, is lock step with this type of absurd, convoluted 'coverage.' (full story)

 The Elitism of Jesus Christ posted by ben, 2016-10-18 01:06:22
Mixed with all the exploits and revolutionary ambitions of JC, is outright elitism, in the form of ‘many are called but few are chosen,’ or how about, ‘do not cast pearls before swine -- a rather harsh metaphor -- and let’s not forget, ‘let the dead bury the dead’ -- dead indeed, another extremely harsh expression. So we must ask what was this, not so meek, man’s attitude to the blind of, ‘blind leading the blind,’ the ignorant, uninformed, deceived masses, of course notwithstanding that JC clearly was an elitist, but not of elite material wealth and power, a new, other worldly elite that understood 'his' elitist teachings. So those that followed him, whether of low social standing or not, could be 'special,' exceptional -- a nice confidence trick to offer the powerless, to say the least. (full story)

U.S. Poised For Unprecedented Cyber Assault Targeting Russia posted by William M. Arkin, Ken Dilanian and Robert Windrem via kismo, 2016-10-15 20:17:42
One really has to laugh at the infantile antics of Washington and associated agency officials. First they make the totally unsubstantiated claim that Russia hacked the compromising emails that expose Hillary for what she is, a lying, murdering criminal lackey of the mega-wealthy ruling elite or ‘shadow government’ as it is known -- no news here.

Russian Bear Finally Emerges from Hibernation posted by drew, 2016-10-15 15:03:14
What did that vacillating, indecisive coward Putin think when the USA installed offensive missile systems in close proximity to Russia’s land borders? The excuse given at the time by demented US president dubya Bush was that these ‘defensive’ missile systems were to protect Europe from Iranian missile attacks, notwithstanding that Iran has never possessed that capability nor does it today. But Putin deferred to unreason and did not immediately react and demand that these offensive systems be removed. That was a very sorry day for the world as the US was allowed to pursue its maniacal dream of world domination UNIMPEDED. There have been many more outrageous incidents and international crimes committed by a confident US/NATO since, I refer to the Libyan and Syrian catastrophes and the destabilisation of North Africa and the Middle East.

Russia reveals new ‘death ray’ Weapon to World posted by jess, 2016-10-15 00:20:13
Sensationalist rag, the UK Mirror, has published a story, true to form, of a new microwave weapon developed by Russian slavs -- think Tesla, a Serbian slav -- which has the capability to neutralise any electronically controlled target today and of course almost all modern military equipment, large (naval vessels) and small (fighter/bomber aircraft) including some slower missiles. So is this new development a game changer? Possibly, though it certainly would give Russia a huge advantage in any modern war. (full story)

“...Sleepwalking Toward an Abyss.” posted by jaxie, 2016-10-13 02:21:40
The title is actually the ending of a recent article by former CIA analyst Ray McGovern. However appropriate the ending is in context, it fails to address why exactly the mindless masses and people that should know better, are sleepwalking to their own destruction. (full story)

 Evidence and Proof are Required to maintain ‘credibility,’ Mr Obama! posted by darcy, 2016-10-11 23:37:46
As most of the free world is aware, the USA is the world leader in unsubstantiated claims and false accusations, the reason is, it hardly ever supplies real evidence or proof of the claims it makes -- remember the WMD fiasco? No real evidence existed so various US agencies fabricated the ‘evidence’ and ‘anthrax’ (baby powder) that Colin Powell waved in the house, which all turned out to be FAKE, based on a raft of false accusations AND orchestrated LIES. Now consider the current situation of the president of the United States making an “official” unsubstantiated accusation against another superpower. (full story)

 The United States as Destroyer of Nations posted by Daniel Kovalik via james, 2016-10-10 20:45:43
In the aftermath of the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003 – an invasion which many Iraqis believe left their country in the worst condition it has been since the Mongol invasion of 1258 — there was much discussion in the media about the Bush Administration’s goal for “nation-building” in that country. Of course, if there ever were such a goal, it was quickly abandoned, and one hardly ever hears the term “nation-building” discussed as a U.S. foreign policy objective anymore. (full story)

The Impending (avoidable) Nuclear Catastrophe posted by jess, 2016-10-10 01:17:28
The USA has recently been conducting bombing tests in the Nevada desert with dummy nukes but not dummy B-2 ‘stealth’ (visible to Russia and China) bombers. But why conduct tests when a nuclear war would be 30 minutes of absolute, all out chaos and unprecedented destruction resulting in the end of human civilisation? (full story)

The Lying CFR Controlled Western Mass Media and the Consequences posted by cyd, 2016-10-08 00:52:20
The lies emanating from the packaged western media have entered the realm of the absurd. We have in Syria conveniently named ‘rebels’ fighting on behalf of their sponsors, the USA, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey and others. These proxy fighters have been trained by the CIA and Israel in Jordan, fact, look it up and verify for yourselves. One of these groups, Al Nusra, is the Al-Qaeda affiliate in Syria, now consider that reality for a moment, Al-Qaeda was considered public enemy #1 by the DUPLICITOUS USA but NOW it is supported, trained and armed by same. One could not be criticised for accusing the American population of being the most easily duped and apathetic in the entire WORLD, not even Hitler could’ve pulled that off on the propaganda-captured German population. But Americans sit back knowing that Al-Qaeda is now supported by the USA without so much as a ‘hold on, wtf!’ (full story)
