We were told that Donald Trump’s administration would put America and American interests first. But instead, those acting in his name tell us through their actions: “Get in line, peasants.”
With the war in Syria going on for seven years, since 2011, a silver streak has appeared on the horizon as Syria’s damaged infrastructure is being restored with Russian help. Schools and factories have been built up again, school children and factory workers are gradually returning. Furthermore, thousands of Syrian volunteer organizations provide help and assistance to their countrymen in need. President Assad is still ruling, although he should have gone a long time ago, if so-called “western powers” could have imposed their will. Are these western powers waning?
A lot has been written and said about Crimea, the Kerch Strait and Russia’s conflict with neighbouring Ukraine which has been dominating the news lately. Russia, however, is a lot more than only Crimea, its latest acquisition after the Crimean people’s referendum, in 2014. Of course, the Crimean peninsula is Russia’s jewel in the Black Sea but there are many other beautiful places in the Russian Federation, worth while a visit.
by NoahIt took 60 years but the Russians finally got their inside man in Manchurian President Trump. They cultivated him for years. He was only the best man that rubles could buy but, with the help of his Republican Party, that has been more than enough. Back in the early 1950s Republikooks like Wisconsin Senator Joe McCarthy thought the State Department was full of pro-Russian assets, agents and sympathizers.
Ingen tomte så långt ögat kan se, men en julgran skymtar förbi. Rocky IV brukar inte klassas som en julfilm, även om den avgörande fajten står på juldagen i Moskva. Kallt krig råder och boxaren Rocky reser till Sovjetunionen för att upprätta USA:s ära efter att ryssen Ivan Drago, spelad av Dolph Lundgren, slagit amerikanen Apollo Creed så hårt att han dött. Apollo var Rockys vän och tränare. Så det handlar också om att ta hämnd.

“For those who long wondered why throughout the presidential campaign Trump could not bring himself to say a critical word about Russian President Vladimir Putin, we now know the answer: Trump was hoping to do business in Russia, and doing so would require the approval of Putin.” – USA Today Opinion Make no mistake, the mainstream left and … Continue reading "The Russia Investigation Is About Criminalizing Peace"

You can’t build the Empire and drain the Swamp at the same time. That’s because the Swamp is largely the fruit of Empire. And it’s also the reason that the Donald is being rapidly undone. Indeed, it is the Empire’s $800 billion national security budget which feeds Washington’s vast complex of weapons suppliers, intelligence contractors, … Continue reading "The Donald Undone: Tilting at the Swamp, Succumbing to the Empire"
Remember last year when Trump challenged Rex Tillerson to an IQ duel? At the time, Tillerson, still Secretary of State, let slip the well-known fact that Trump is-- literally-- "a moron." Trump took offense, said he'd like to compare their IQs, and eventually fired Tillerson and replaced him with a less intelligent and more servile man, Mike Pompeo.

*First, a quick order of business.... I do want to apologize to readers for my MIA over these last few days... I had a family issue to take care of, and I was doing some serious rest and relaxation to get my back in order and allow it to heal after my "fender bender" a week ago.... I do want to tell everyone that I was not seriously hurt in that auto accident and only jarred my back..... I am presently taking some pain killers for my neck and trying my best to get some much needed rest....

When I met Jeff Merkley in 2007, he was Oegon's state House speaker and a candidate for a U.S. Senate seat held by Republican Gordon Smith. He was a working class guy seeking to join a millionaires club. As minority leader of the state legislature, he directed the successful Democratic drive to win the majority and was unanimously elected speaker in 2006. He ran as an unabashed progressive from day one and Blue America endorsed him.

By popular demand, we welcome back Dr. Tim Ball—a "retired" lecturer in geography and historical climatology at the University of Winnipeg, and now perhaps the most entertaining and informative after-dinner speaker on the planet—for a second conversation on his "new adages for the technocratic era".
During the last conversation, Dr. Ball said that maybe we would need a second programme to cover his adages adequately. Many listeners picked up on that, and asked me to invite him back for a second chat. So I did, and here it is—another fun, wide-ranging and provocative conversation.

What is the ‘Yellow Vest’ movement in France, and how is it related to the Neo-liberal economic policies of Emmanuel Macron? Is it only about fuel taxes, or does this have deeper social implications going forward? What does this portent about the future of France, and the European Union?

It is time for the reclusive Mr. Mueller to begin revealing where the focus of his investigation is going. This week, sentencing hearings begin for those who have cooperated with the government in the hopes of a lighter sentence.
The FBI has to provide sentencing recommendations and the reasons supporting them, which will give us some clues as to not only what it has, but also any potential exposure for President Trump.
The pressure in Ukraine kept ratcheting up over the last few days, with a big revelation today that Patriarch Bartholomew now considers Metropolitan Onuphy “uncanonical.” This news was published on 6 December by a hierarch of the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church (running under the Moscow Patriarchate).
This assessment marks a complete 180-degree turn by the leader of the Orthodox Patriarchate of Constantinople, and it further embitters the split that has developed to quite a major row between this church’s leadership and the Moscow Patriarchate.
Earlier this week, 21WIRE reported on how the government of Emmanuel Macron had lost control of state storm trooper police who have been allowed to run wild by hunting down and beating Yellow Vest reformist protesters in the streets, and with no apparent accountability.
Secret insurer-provider negotiations and restrictive contracts suppress price transparency and grant hospitals monopoly power to stifle competitive free market health care.

Tucker Carlson of Fox News is noteworthy as an American newsman. Of all the fine reporters at Fox, he alone refuses to embrace any of the narrative about “Russian meddling” and calls the whole issue out as false. However, his independent thinking goes even farther, extending to round criticism of President Trump. This was reported from an interview Mr. Carlson gave for the Swiss weekly publication, Die Weltwoche.
