The idea Mattis was the “adult in the room,” the moral and intellectual restraint on Trump’s evil wishes, is tired. We’ve been recycling that one for two years and more now, as various “adults” were christened as such and rose and fell in the eyes of the media – Flynn, McMaster, Tillerson, Kelly, and now Mattis (the media regards Pompeo and Bolton as “dangerous” and thus not adults. Nobody else seems to make the news.)
The Duran’s Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris discuss Vladimir Putin’s year end press event, and the UK media reaction to the event which once again showed that the UK media is completely hysterical when covering Russia, and completely ignorant when analyzing Russian foreign policy.

If Santa Claus alone does the delivery work himself (suspending our current understanding of space-time, or at least the laws of physics), how does he acquire the appropriate import/export permits in a timely fashion?
Does he even have a work visa?

Dear Donors, thank you for your support in 2018. Although you have kept me working yet another year, I find it encouraging that there are some Americans who can think independently and who want to know. As Margaret Mead said, it only takes a few determined people to change the world. Perhaps some of you will be those people.
Writing for the conservative Washington Examiner, Salena Zito reminded her readers that "In the wake of an election where Republicans lost 40 seats, Trump has careened, strategy-free, toward a shutdown, negotiating only with himself.
Poverty and destitution in the UK, even among those employed, and harsh government policy ‘solutions’ like punitive ‘job centers’ hit the most vulnerable hardest, including women and people with disabilities, explains UN Special Rapporteur, Philip Alston discussing his investigation into UK poverty.
Apparently, Trump finally realized that everyone in D.C. was against him, including most of those generals he surrounded himself with to protect him from the intelligence community.

After the success of the IATF, Egypt will next host a meeting with BRICS countries [PREUSS]
The inaugural Intra-Africa Trade Fair (IATF) held in Cairo from 11 to 17 December exceeded the targets set by the organising committee when they approached the Afreximbank for sponsorship.
The ambitious targets the committee set was to attract at least 30 African country pavilions, get at least 1,000 exhibitors and be able to say agreements worth at least $25 billion were signed at the IATF.
Most frustratingly, Anonymous’ comments on the releases indicate that they have vital information which is not, so far, revealed. The most important document of all appears to be a simple contact list, of a particular group within the hundreds of contacts revealed in the papers overall. This is it in full:
American soldiers have been killed in Syria, have been put in harm’s way, all for a mission that is both unclear and undeclared. So stark is the contrast between the vague purpose of our wars and their real human losses that it’s become a paramount political issue.
No blog today, but I want to wish everyone a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

It’s not just a trade war: behind that, hides a tech-war – and behind that, lie the plans for a full-spectrum arms race – from space to cyber.

by NoahWe've made it to Christmas Eve!In January, the Diaper Don and his Prez-45 gang will have been infesting the White House for 2 full years, but the indictments are piling up and jail sentences are being discussed and served. Tonight's meme shows us the gift that every single person in the Trump Mafia should, if it was a perfect world, find under their tree tomorrow morning.
Je rappelle aux nouveaux lecteurs que DiaCrisis fonctionne à l’aide de dons servant à compenser ses coûts (elle est sans but lucratif) et grâce au travail quotidien de plusieurs bénévoles (que je remercie encore très chaleureusement, sans eux, tout ceci n’existerait pas).
Je lance donc ce jour un appel à votre générosité pour terminer le financement 2018 de l’association DiaCrisis. Je rappelle que nous réalisons les appels à terme échu pour veiller à ce que les dons soient bien en phase avec les dépenses réelles (nous ne cherchons pas à réaliser des bénéfices).

Laurent Joffrin passe pour un homme de lettres. Nous pardonnera-t-il ce petit exercice de style tout Oulipien ?
Nous avons tout respecté : la forme, le style, les expressions, la construction, les mots, tout y est. Mais aussi le fond : l’amalgame, la mauvaise foi, vous n’y trouverez ni mensonge, encore moins de fake news, rien que des raccourcis. Il fallait respecter l’original…
Originally posted at TomDispatch. On December 9th, the Washington Post covered Donald Trump’s offhand, if long expected, announcement of the ousting of retired Marine General John Kelly from an embattled White House. Its report focused on the chief of staff’s “rocky tenure” there with a nod to his many merits, among them that he “often … Continue reading "Ringing in a New Year of War"
The US war against Syria was one that people almost stopped. President Obama was unable to get Congress to authorize the war in 2013, but the Pentagon and foreign policy establishment, who have long wanted to control Syria, pushed forward with war anyway. It has been a disaster. The war has resulted in hundreds of … Continue reading "We Can End the US War on Syria"
Here’s what got Secretary of Defense James Mattis all worked up! Even as what should have been a quick 2001 strike into Afghanistan bogged down into the quagmire of nation building, George W. Bush in 2003 invaded Iraq. The pretenses were all false. Terrorism was the excuse, American control over the region the goal. “Winning” … Continue reading "A Short History of How the US Went to War in Syria"

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thinks Biden would make a miserable 2020 candidate and an even worse president-- not worse than Trump, worse as a president than as a candidate. Let me just sit back and revel in Alex Shephard's piece for the New Republic about someone who shouldn't be the next nominee for president: This Is As Good As It Gets for Joe Biden.

by NoahFriday December 14th was the grim anniversary of the 2012 Newtown, CT. massacre of 27 elementary school children and school staff, a massacre that, sadly, many deranged Republicans will still tell you is a hoax. They will tell you that "crisis actors" played the roles of the victims and that it was all a production of the "fake news" media.

Friday morning’s Drudge Report featured two opinion pieces about President Trump, one which slammed his “suffocating presence,” and the other, which regarded his presidency as supported by emotion in the same way that President Obama’s support was.
