Another Arrested Equity Correction?
Paul Craig Roberts
After the extraordinary sudden loss in equity values, today (2-6-18) brought gains back to the stock indices.
What happened? Did the market sneeze, cough, or was something misread and today perceived in a different light?
In my opinion this is what happened:
For too many people "but better than Trump" just wasn't enough motivationUntil just now, I have avoided going to the Blue America endorsement page and counting how many woman are on it, how many people of color, how many from the LGBT community.
Responses to the recently-released House Intelligence Committee memo are framed by the mainstream media according to whether viewers are on “Team Democrat” or “Team Republican.” You are supposed to think either that Rep. Nunes is a hero or that the Republicans are trying to destroy everything that is holy and good about the FBI and intelligence community. But what about those of us on “Team Liberty”? We look at the FISA memo and see another in a long line of abuses of our liberties by the National Security State.
Comme cela m’a été demandé, je refais un petit résumé sur la polémique en cours autour de l’historien Olivier Dard…
Pour mémoire, Olivier Dard est ce professeur d’histoire contemporaine à l’université Paris-Sorbonne, “spécialisé sur l’extrême droite”, qui a écrit une biographie de Charles Maurras.
(ANTIMEDIA) — As the trend of cannabis legalization continues to sweep the country, the number of jobs in the industry has exploded, growing exponentially just from 2016 to 2017. According to a report from ZipRecruiter, an online job platform that also analyzes employment trends, “the total number of industry job posts increased by 445% in 2017, compared to […]

(ANTIMEDIA) — According to recent research, human beings’ capacity for higher reasoning may be the direct result of an ancient virus that infected our ancestors hundreds of millions of years ago. Two studies by two separate teams, both published last month in the journal Cell, suggest that a protein believed to be crucial to forming long-term memories is the evolutionary remnant of an infection […]

(AP) — On Thursday the U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced plans for a new pilot program that will test out biometric facial recognition technology as part of an effort to identify fugitives or terror suspects. The Austin-American Statesman reported on the announcement: “Thanks to quantum leaps in facial recognition technology, especially over the past year, the future is […]

I have been busy, of course, this last while spending a lot of time with my sick mother who is now so much better... And yesterday I decided to take a "me day" where I did a lot of personal business and to take the day to unwind after one heck of a busy week.... I therefore figure that since I have so many things to "catch up on" that I may have missed over the last while, I would give my own "two cents worth" with a "mini rant" for today...First, I actually did watch most of the "Super Bowl" game last Sunday...
Russian television broadcast a dire sounding piece on February 5th that probably was rather disquieting to most Russians, and also a source of significant dismay to their hopes for a rapprochement in relations following the election of Donald Trump to the Presidency of the United States. The news agency “Vesti” explained that the US is preparing itself for nuclear war with Russia.
By John Wight | American Herald Tribune | February 6, 2018 Who is James Le Mesurier, the former British army officer and military contractor who founded the White Helmets, the civil defence organisation which operates exclusively in opposition-held parts of Syria? It is a question more and more people are asking as their role and […]
By Bryan MacDonald | RT | February 6, 2018 Countering Russia has become a lucrative industry in Washington. In recent years, the think tank business has exploded. But who funds these organizations, who works for them and what are the real agendas at play? From the start, let’s be clear, the term ‘think tank’ essentially […]
The House Democrats are absolutely geriatric. The leadership is even more geriatric. We need a little-- or more than a little-- balance. I think we have two Blue America candidates in their 20s, both highly accomplished candidates: Austin Frerick (Iowa) and Kaniela Ing (HI). I'm older than both of them combined and yet I feel like I learn every time I talk to either one of them.
(ANTIMEDIA) — Fifteen years after the calamitous U.S. invasion of Iraq, an architect of the propaganda used to drum up support for the war is warning that it’s happening again — this time with Iran. Lawrence Wilkerson, who was chief of staff to former Secretary of State Colin Powell, helped the then-secretary “paint a clear picture that war […]

When you watch coverage of Russia in the US and UK mainstream media, know that many of the so-called ‘foreign policy’ experts are actually on the payroll of deep state think tanks which are extensions of the western military industrial complex. This is important to remember as you see them constantly advocating in western media for a more aggressive stance against Russia.
By Melkulangara BHADRAKUMAR | Strategic Culture Foundation | 06.02.2018 Tehran has begun highlighting in loud decibel its hitherto-low key voice of disquiet that the United States is transferring the Islamic State* fighters from Syria and Iraq, where they have been defeated, to Afghanistan. On January 30, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said: “The US goal […]
It's not often you'll hear me say positive things about a U.S. government regulator, but I nearly fell out of my seat when I heard what the Chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), Christopher Giancarlo, said at today's hearing with the Congressional Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.
In case you missed it, here's his opening statement:

(ANTIMEDIA) Dallas, TX — A Dallas man was arrested over the weekend after he allegedly walked into a downtown police station parking lot and smashed the windows and windshields of a dozen patrol cars with a sledgehammer. Police say 58-year-old Gregory Simpson entered the lot of the Dallas Marshal’s Office at around 5 a.m. Sunday morning, proceeding to inflict thousands of dollars’ worth […]

According to Mark Levin, Barack Obama likely knew Hillary Clinton paid for the FISA warrant to spy on Trump.
On Monday while speaking to Fox News’ “Hannity”, nationally-syndicated radio host Mark Levin said he believes former President Obama knew all about Hillary Clinton’s role in the FISA warrant used to surveil the Trump campaign.
Mark Levin likewise told Fox & Friends….
Unlike ivory from elephants, rhino horns can be removed without harming the animal, and they even grow back fully every three years. Private wildlife parks support South Africa’s ruling, though animal rights groups and governments continue to fight back. This is despite the fact that bans on rhino horns aren't effective in saving these animals. It is high time we try something new, and the answer is — counterintuitively — ending the ban on horn trafficking.
Ever notice that corrupt conservatives always seem to support payday lender schemes while progressives fight against them? As soon as Trump appointed Mick Mulvaney acting head of the CFPB-- the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau-- one of his first moves was to stop protecting consumers from predators in the payday lending world.
The Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl, and hundreds of fans rioted, tearing up the city and destroying property. [When you look at these videos of violence and looting, you cannot help wondering what the police were doing during this time. Is violence now tolerated in order to further condition law-abiding citizens that martial law is necessary? Please let us know if there is an explanation from police for not preventing this. That's what they are paid to do.] [...]

(MEE) — Egypt’s interior ministry is facing criticism for encouraging children to report “bad guys” to the police. A cartoon released in late January, which calls upon children to put complete trust in the police, has sparked criticism on social media, with many considering it a call for children to become informants. Fateen and Bolbol was launched with […]

California: Michael Tubbs, the 26-year old Mayor of Stockton, will provide a universal basic income ($500 per month) to low-income residents. Stockton was the largest city in America to claim bankruptcy during the financial crisis. Critics fear it will create a welfare state. [Stockton already IS a welfare state. We predict that, when the 'experiment' is finished, it will be seen as a colossal failure, but those who are well paid to administer the welfare state will claim that the only reason it failed is that $500 was not enough.
left i on the news | February 6, 2018 15 years ago today, Colin Powell delivered his infamous speech at the U.N., the speech which cemented the support of the U.S. political and media establishments for the invasion of Iraq, under the pretext of “weapons of mass destruction”.

Germany: Rebecca Sommer founded the refugee aid organization Working Group Asylum + Human Rights in 2012, which welcomed refugees to her country and, along with more than 300 volunteers, taught them German to help them integrate. She believed that they were fleeing a war-torn hell. She finally understands that the migrants are invaders who have zero intention of integrating and adopting Western values. She now plans to escape to Poland, saying that it's too late for Germany. [...]
First, the FBI/ FISA memo demonstrates that there is a 'deep state' that does not want mere elections to threaten its existence. Second, the memo shows us that neither Republicans nor Democrats care about surveillance abuse of average Americans. Third, war hawks from both sides of the aisle used 'Russia-gate' to build animosity against Russia and bigger defense budgets for the Military-Industrial Complex. Paul advises: Be skeptical of both parties. [...]

There are a number of ways to spend a $19.3 billion annual budget; we could pay for 1.94 million young adults in the United States to attend a public 4-year university, we could provide 1.87 million people with health care, or we could use the money to fund the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for one year.
One final task was required before these elites could safely move forward. They had to ensure that all the evidence …Continue reading →

America’s ‘crumbling infrastructure’, not just a campaign pillar for Donald Trump, has, over the course of the past six weeks, made itself considerably more apparent through multiple train accidents.
The Amtrak train that collided with a freight train in South Carolina Sunday, killing two people and injuring more than 100, is the latest in a string of major crashes involving the passenger railroad.
It’s important to note that Amtrak is a quasi-public corporation that receives state and federal subsidies but is managed as a for-profit organization.
Adam Schiff has now been exposed as a Russian agent.
Schiff was interviewed by RT in 2013…and if we go by Schiff’s McCarthyite standards, being anyone who goes on RT is of course a puppet of the Kremlin, then Schiff being on RT makes him a puppet of the Kremlin.
