While refusing to recognize the decisive role that the coalition of Russia, Turkey and Iran played in saving Syria from the terrorist onslaught that was brought upon it, Washington carries on its destructive policies in this country.

De-dollarization has become popular, not only with countries like China, Russia and Venezuela (for reasons including sanctions and trade disputes), but also for individuals looking to diversify their holdings and liberate themselves from central bank, fiat control.
The Strategic Culture Foundation’s Federico Pieraccini examines if Bitcoin’s growth is connected to the global de-dollarization trend.

While the war party Establishment is fighting to defend its privileged global order, many other Americans seek a return to normal nationhood with all that implies. If true, the next few years will see a major internal conflict that will determine what kind of country the United States will be.

I’ll admit I was taken aback. This senior officer and mentor—with nearly 28 years of military service—wasn’t one for hyperbole. No, he believed what he was saying to me just then.

Many experts believe that the Islamic State is assembling its forces to launch major offensives in Libya and Egypt in the near future, the main aim of which is to establish a “new empire” to make up for the extremists’ losses in Iraq and Syria.

-by NoahThe picture for this meme has been used for several memes, but, after Señor Trumpanzee's "Shithole Explosion," I had to take another look at it and add my own caption to it.Having worked in the music business, I couldn't help remembering a similar pose by another group of Germans, and I don't mean German-Americans. In this case, I'm talking about real Germans, Kraftwerk, the pioneering innovators of the electronic music.

Going After Jews Instead of Neo-Liberals

Charles Bausman, the editor-in-chief of Russia Insider, has chosen a path well-trodden: he decided to woo his audience by discovering the “Jewish origin” of today’s wars and tensions.

Huge economic changes are on the rise due to Ai, autonomous systems, and other emerging technologies.

Even most of the Trump-haters stayed away from this one.  On the day that President Trump had announced for his “Fake News Awards” program, Arizona Senator Jeff Flake took to the Senate Floor to lambaste the president for his strong remarks against the mainstream media.

U.S. President Donald J. Trump announced his own “Fake News Awards” for 2017 on Wednesday via the Republican National Committee’s website, gop.com, and received the expected lukewarm reception from mainstream media outlets.

From the world media reports dedicated to the situation on the Korean Peninsula, the wrong impression might be given, that the source of the “world evil”, which is presented as the DPRK, is opposed by the military-political alliance composed of the United States, Japan, and the Republic of Korea.

Late last week, Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, repeated his public observations that members of the intelligence community – particularly the CIA, the NSA and the intelligence division of the FBI – are not trustworthy with the nation’s intelligence secrets. Because he has a security clearance at … Continue reading "Did Donald Trump Change His Mind on Domestic Spying?"

The United States cannot be a moral or ethical country until it faces up to the realities of US empire and the destruction it causes around the world. The US undermines governments (including democracies), kills millions of people, causes mass migrations of people fleeing their homes, communities and countries and produces vast environmental damage.

Cédant aux désirs israélo-saoudiens, l’administration Trump abuse du processus de renseignement américain pour attiser la fièvre guerrière contre l’Iran, tout comme George W. Bush l’a fait en Irak, rapporte Paul R. Pillar, analyste de la CIA.

Last year CA-26-- a Southern California congressional district that includes Thousand Oaks and Westlake Village at the upper end of the San Fernando Valley plus most of Ventura County, including a bit of Simi Valley, plus Moorpark, Camarillo, Santa Paula, Oxnard and Fillmore-- gave Hillary a landslide victory over Trumpanzee: 57.9% to 36.0%. Obama had beaten McCain there, 56-41% and beaten Romney 54-44%. The PVI went from D+4 in 2015 to D+7 after the election. The district has a lousy congresswoman, pointless New Dem careerist Julia Brownley.

If more congressional candidates did this, many of the country's problems would vanishI was listening to NPR yesterday on a long drive and they were interviewing two dullard Beltway operatives, a dumb Dem and an even dumber Republican. The dumb Dem, when asked about Net Neutrality's salience as an issue said no one cared much about it. And the dumber Republican went one further to say no one even knows what it is.

The degenerate, sterile West is falling to Islam by design. The globalist plan, as mentioned by many of their top “leftists” like Bertrand Russell, has been to depopulate and alter the demographics drastically in order to bring about a genuinely technocratic global world order. Far from the problem of the West being “idiot” liberals and moron SJWs, the real strategists are anything but, and know good and well liberalism and Islam are both tools on the global chessboard.

The Republican Supreme Court Gave Us The Police State
Paul Craig Roberts
When the US Supreme Court consisted of civil libertarians such as William Douglas, William Brennan, and Thurgood Marshall, Republicans argued that the Supreme Court was coddling criminals and inventing rights. To prevent legislation from the bench, it was necessary, Republicans said, to elect Republican presidents who would appoint a different court that would respect the Constitution.

In November 2017, FEE president Lawrence Reed spoke to nearly a thousand students and faculty on the campus of Mackenzie Presbyterian University in Sao Paulo, Brazil. His visit was sponsored by the University’s Center for Economic Freedom. One of Brazil’s largest newspapers, Folha de S. Paulo, published a substantial interview with him. And now this 20-minute video interview with Reed has been made available by UM Brasil, a major multimedia platform in Brazil for debates, documentaries, and interviews.

While ISIS has been defeated in Syria, the US military has no plans to leave the country. In fact, the Pentagon is building new, permanent military bases on Syrian soil. But the Syrians don’t want American troops on their soil and it’s pretty illegal to put your troops into another country without permission. So why stay? To “counter Iranian influence in the region.” But how did Iran get so much influence in the region? The US invasion of Iraq and the US destabilization of Syria were a shot in the arm to Iran’s influence in the region.

By Finian CUNNINGHAM | Strategic Culture Foundation | 17.01.2018 The audacious multiple-drone attack on Russia’s military bases in Syria is increasingly looking like a false flag carried out by the American Central Intelligence Agency.

Justice Sotomayor contended that exercises of certain liberties do not extend into commerce. She explained that once someone enters commerce, the right to refuse services is subject to oversight by the government. Or in other words, once you enter into commerce your rights to association, speech, and exercise of religion among others take a back seat to the interests of the state.

But his administration’s overwhelming reliance on military and economic pressure rather than on negotiations to […]

Spiritualizing political ideologies produces what we might call a “politics of abstraction” in which adherents join an ideological tribe and defend its tenets with an inflexibility that the tribe’s members regard as virtuous. Members of factions experience a good deal of fortification from the “unanimity of sentiment” but they are then disproportionately “shocked and disturbed” when they encounter any opposition to their ideological views.

Privacy: In the analog world of our parents, leaks to the press were heavily protected in both ends – both for the leaker and for the reporter receiving the leak. In the digital world of our children, this has been unceremoniously thrown out the window while discussing something unrelated entirely. Why aren’t our digital children afforded the same checks and balances?

There are plenty of ways in which teacher unions harm students and teachers. From forcing the firing of young, keen teachers (to enable the retention of older, burnt-out teachers) to maintaining “rubber rooms” where teachers are paid not to teach, teacher unions ensure the misallocation of funds meant to improve the educational attainment and skills of young people.

I have been watching over these last few weeks as the Jew spew media up here in central Canada has been pumping out report after report about this Influenza outbreak that some are labeling as an "epidemic"...Being the pessimist that I usually am, I have been wondering if we are getting the real truth or if all of the propaganda from the Jew spew media is just a bunch of fear mongering to get gullible people to rush out to get their "approved" flu shots....Well, lo and behold but several other writers in the real truth movement are on the same page as myself in calling this "epidemic" nothin

Investigative reporters Wayne Madsen and Andrew Kreig join me today to discuss their recent investigation into Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein’s 1994 rape of a 12 year old girl name “Maria.” We begin by talking about the tip that led them to look into this case. We then look into Maria’s hometown of Waterbury, Connecticut and the circumstances surrounding her abduction outside of Nash’s Pizzeria. Wayne and Andrew discuss Waterbury’s history of covering up sexual abuse scandals.

The rice exposed to affectionate human intentions became only slightly discolored with age, while the jar of rice treated with threatening intentions became filled with mold, condensation, and rot. Rice that was completely ignored responded with modest condensation and small spots of mold. Unless there is fraud in this experiment, it indicates that emotions and intent can have a much stronger impact on living things, including us and those around us, than ever imagined possible. [...]
