"State-of-the-Art Weaponry" Turns Out to Be Crickets
Introducing a destructive non-native invasive species to a habitat, where they will cause maximum harm, has been part of the CIA’s playbook for decades.

The Duran’s Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris take a quick look at a BREXIT deal that may now be delayed well past the scheduled exit of March 29 of this years.
The mood has shifted considerably in the last week, from confidence that a no-deal Brexit was an inevitability, to a now ever present, public doubt that a Brexit will even take place as voted by the UK populace.
The national and global institutions that have been so essential to the creation of the neoliberal order provide rich evidence that we can no longer tell where governments end and corporations begin.

Tulsi Gabbard’s twitter account describes her thus:
“Soldier. Veteran. Surfer. Member of Congress. Doing my best to be of service.”
An insight into her character.
On so many issues she represents the dreams of ordinary people around the world, again emphasising not only Americans, that will, its predicted (if she is elected), create the greatest change and upheaval in modern history.

Text and photos: Andre Vltchek There used to be a pair of beautiful swings for children, not far from an old rural temple in Mie Prefecture, where I used to frequently power walk, when searching for inspiration for my novels. Two years ago, I noticed that the swings had gotten rusty, abandoned, and unkempt. Yesterday, I spotted a yellow ribbon,[Read More...]
By 2030, seven of the world’s top 10 economies will be current emerging markets, according to the latest report by London-based multinational banking and financial service company Standard Chartered.
The long-term projection shows that India is likely to become larger than the US, while neighboring China will reportedly steal the crown of world’s most powerful economy (currently held by the US) as soon as 2020. At the same time, Indonesia may break into the top five economies.
As the snow lands soft on my face,
The memory suffices.
The gray becomes bearable,
and I find myself satisfied.

It is bad enough that the Lugar Lab in Tbilisi, an alleged front for public health research has been feathered on about every Russian TV channel over its role in viral and bacterial (germ) warfare, but now Georgia faces a new round of recriminations.

Yah, I know this blog is one of a very few independent autodidact (self taught) analyst thinkers that takes the big view in the geographical region known as the Middle East/North Africa. MENA. Brief digression: Autodidacts in history One common feature that autodidacts share is they all read. They learn continuously. And think for themselves. Perhaps they too have a significant other who told them 'you think to much'? Or maybe like me, they all thought and think that life is for learning?

The Yellow Vests in France are opposed to violence, but the French government and its ANTIFA storm troops are not. It is more likely that it will be the Yellow Vests who go down and not the government, with the consequence that future protests will be more difficult to undertake. Perhaps it doesn’t matter as non-violent protests have proven to be ineffective.

The Duran’s Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris take a quick look at news that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, plans to step down within the next month after Robert Mueller submits his report.
Rosenstein will be leaving the DOJ just as Trump’s new AG, if confirmed, William Barr gets set to take over a corrupt and inept Justice Department, that has allowed Deep State crony Robert Mueller, to make a mockery of America’s legal system.
This report should have served as a wonderful opportunity for dialogue regarding masculinity. It reflects concerns raised by both sides of the political spectrum, and there is far more common ground than might be expected. However, rather than finding any opportunity for civilized discussion, the news media would rather engage in the typical strategies of oversimplification, exaggeration, and polarization that so define modern politics.

Fall of Empires: London, Washington & Paris on brink of collapse
By George Galloway
January 11, 2019 “Information Clearing House” – Despite the thrashing around of the NATO disinformation apparat, the imperial heartland has entered 2019 in a state of complete chaos.
Washington, London, and Paris – the three capitals of the Empire – are today effectively ungoverned, shutdown, tottering on the brink of collapse or under siege by their own people.
A Diplomatic Void at State
The crude, bullying, threatening demeanor of US government officials such as Pompeo, Nikki Haley, and John Bolton make Adolf Hitler’s top officials look the paradigm of diplomacy.
Someone should tell the idiot Pompeo, who promises to “expel every last Iranian boot from Syria,” that Syria and Russia are unlikely to permit the US to enter Syria to attack their Iranian ally.
When Pompeo goes around preaching threats like this, he convinces the world that Washington is insane.
