CNN’s Brooke Baldwin presses the very corrupt former DNC chari, Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) about what the Democrats got in return for shutting down the government, and is stunned over the congresswoman’s answer…“We won potential for momentum.”

A Russian Parliament member has introduced a draft bill to create a national cryptocurrency called “the CryptoRuble.”
Legislation to regulate the mining and trading of cryptocurrencies is currently under consideration by the Russian Parliament, but that has not slowed down the creation of a cryptocurrency for legal tender.
“The amendments proposed by the draft law…codify the digital financial asset as a legal means of payment on the territory of Russia,” the document’s explanatory note reads.

By Cameron Pike | OffGuardian | January 28, 2018 The day before the Foreign Ministers’ meeting on Security and Stability in Vancouver on January 16, 2018, a forum was held at the University of British Columbia’s Institute of Asian Research entitled “Getting North Korea Right: Canadian Options and Roles”.

If you find yourself with a wet, cold, icy Sunday on your hands, The Saker’s interview with Guns & Butter is well worth an hour.
The Saker— Andrei Raevsky—makes many good points. For example, Trump’s move of the US embassy to Jerusalem has hurt Israel and Washington by removing the figleaf of US neutrality. Washington has now openly placed itself in Israel’s corner and can no longer aid and abet Israel by pretending to be the honest broker.

In the Western World Lies Have Displaced Truth
Paul Craig Roberts
Last year I was awarded Marquiss Who’s Who In America’s Lifetime Achievement Award. This did not prevent a hidden organization, PropOrNot, from attempting to brand me and my website along with 200 others “Putin stooges or agents” for our refusal to lie for the corrupt, anti-American, anti-constitutional, anti-democratic, warmonger police state interests that rule the Western World.
Well, it is Sunday once again... And as usual it is time for my weekly 'rant'.....I knew it was too good to last.. This area of central Canada had a momentary reprieve last week after over three full weeks of brutal Arctic cold, and for the last week the temperatures did indeed 'moderate' to near freezing (0C or 32F). But as the old saying goes "all good things do come to an end eventually", the reprieve is now officially over, with temperatures over the next week expected to plummet to well below normal, meaning daytime highs in the -20C range and overnight lows below the -30C mark...

The alleged use of chlorine as a weapon in Syria is back in the news in the US and UK, with fresh incidents reported and US Secretary […]
Currently, a movie featuring Meryl Streep recreates the dramatic events surrounding the publication, in 1971, of the Pentagon Papers, in a crowing salute to so-called freedom of the American press. Alas, the takeaway is that since the publication of these damning documents about the Vietnam War, freedom of the press has become a fiction.

On Saturday, while India was scrambling out of the hangover of celebration of its 69th Republic Day, its Army was creating mayhem in a small village called Ganowpora in South Kashmir’s Shopian district as 3 teenagers were shot dead from point blank range and dozens of others critically injured. It all happened when a small crowd of young men began[Read More...]
Devin Nunes' Central Valley congressional district (CA-22) begins north of Clovis and Fresno and it's northern and eastern suburbs beyond the airport. The district meanders down through Dinuba and Visalia and ends just south of Tulare. It's a pretty red district-- McCain and Romney both beat Obama (respectively 56-43% and 57-42%) and in 2016 Trump beat Clinton 52.1% to 42.6%.
In late 2016, about 200 websites – including Consortiumnews.com – were identified as “Russian propaganda outlets” by the dubious website PropOrNot, hiding behind a cloak of anonymity. Now, journalist George Eliason peels back some of that anonymity in this article…Read more →
By M K Bhadrakumar | Indian Punchline | January 28, 2018 Frankly, it was hard to believe when some newspapers mentioned a few months ago that PM Modi was planning to travel to Palestine in a near future. No Indian prime minister ever visited Israel or Palestine. A de-hyphenation of India’s Israel relationship and its […]

Government pest control often backfires, encouraging more of the very scourge it was instituted to contain. This is often referred to as the “cobra effect,” after an episode where government bounties on serpent tails encouraged the emergence of profit-seeking snake-breeders. Even if it’s true that government pest eradication isn’t perfect, might it be the best we have?
Haitham Siyaj Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network – January 28, 2018 Israeli repression targeting Palestinian youth activists has continued to rise.

Siyaj is one of the comrades […]
It could be truly comical, if it were not to be so dangerous for millions of people living all over the world. The Empire, once mighty, ruthless and frightening is now jumping around like a dog infected with rabies; it is salivating, barking loudly, its tale is stiff between its legs.
It snaps left and right, and periodically it is even trying to bite a piece of Moon off. But the Moon is far, too far, even for the best armed and the most aggressive country on Earth.
Aliens are going to have a bad first impression of us if the first humans they meet are government bureaucrats.
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has asked a UK court to relinquish the arrest warrant that is keeping him confined to the Ecuadorian Embassy in Knightsbridge, London. If granted, he would be free to leave without fear of arrest, according to a spokesman for the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). “Hypothetically, yes. That would be our interpretation,” he said. Assange would then[Read More...]
When India was celebrating foundation of a democratic-secular Republic by inviting rulers of the ASEAN and PM Modi called upon the countries to make the region “free from contests, claims” ominous developments were taking place in the largest democracy of the world.

-by Geoff Coventry The Emergence of Modern Money Theory (MMT)There is a profound shift going on in the arena of economics. It will have a significant impact across a whole spectrum of society as it takes root. A fresh perspective on the role of our nation’s currency is set to reshape public policy and government budget debates. If you are not yet familiar with Modern Money Theory (MMT), it is time you get up to speed. A good place to start is with the work of Stephanie Kelton.
The last few months has seen open threats by Karni sena towards release of the movie ‘Padmavati’.

Russia has protested a new set of US sanctions and said that they are not only illegal but will counter Washington’s goals in Europe.
On Friday, the Trump administration said that the Treasury Department had slapped Moscow with more sanctions in response to what it said was “Russia’s occupation of Crimea” and the continued crisis in the Ukraine.

Aside from Ian Fleming, there is no more influential spy author than Tom Clancy.

The US invasion of Iraq in 2003 was clearly based upon lies, but this war won’t be like getting rid of Saddam Hussein was in 2003. It will be unimaginably worse than that horror.
While we agonize over such life and death questions as clumsy men groping women and the crucial need for gender and racial ‘inclusion,’ let me spare a few seconds thought to something really important and scary: Russia’s doomsday nuclear torpedo.

Donald Trump was not at the Davos summit last year, but even from a distance of a few thousand kilometres, the US president still managed to overawe many of the forum’s participants. What will happen this time?
Defense Secretary James Mattis announced a dramatic shift in military policy last week, and it threatens to plunge the world into new forms of conflict.
China’s surveillance ship “Haijian 27” arrives at waters around the Islands that China claims as Diaoyu and Japan as Senkaku [Xinhua]Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has told his Japanese counterpart Taro Kono that Tokyo should exert all efforts to boost bilateral ties with Beijing.
Kono, who is in Beijing on a two-day trip, is commemorating the 40th anniversary of the signing of a peace treaty and reestablishment of ties between the two countries after World War II.

So, I guess she's perfect for the Trumpanzee White House.But... the last time I saw eyes like these, they belonged to a geek that was on a straw-covered stage, wearing a Pillsbury Flour sack, and biting the heads off of live chickens on a carny row in Florida. Funny thing is, the geek had a bit of an Arkansas accent.
Afghanistan is now facing mortal danger. It has to survive, but it is not clear how it can manage. Hotel Intercontinental in Kabul, which was attacked by gunmen last Saturday, used to fit like a glove, like a grandmother’s couch. Outside, the war has been raging. Millions of Afghan lives were aimlessly broken, hundreds of thousands lost. The price of[Read More...]
In recent months, weeks, and now practically every day, our immigrant brothers and sisters have been going into the streets and into the halls of Congress, risking arrest and deportation to challenge “business as usual,” and resist the most vicious, blatant, and criminal assault on the rights, the dignity, the humanity, and the very lives of immigrants in this country[Read More...]
I’m sure you remember the oil spill from the Keystone XL pipeline last November. Did you think it was an isolated incident? Think again.

The penchant of development agencies for high-yielding cows has never abated. Whenever relief measures are planned for drought-affected families in villages, free cows are considered the best aid. I have seen several villages in my career where Holstein and Jersey’s cows arrive in wagonloads and every family in these parched villages is handed a cow. However, in a drought-affected[Read More...]
