Breitbart declares ‘troop surge’ in war on Trump

Soil, Monsanto And The Agribusiness Giants: Conning The World With Snake Oil And Doughnuts
In their rush to readily promote neoliberal dogma and corporate-inspired PR, many government officials, scientists and journalists take as given that profit-driven transnational corporations have a legitimate claim to be custodians of natural assets. There is the premise that water, food, soil and agriculture should be handed over to powerful and wholly corrupt transnational corporations to milk for profit, under the pretence these entities are[Read M

There is No Such Thing As A Free Lunch, For Humans

Statues In Defeat: The Confederacy, Treason And History
Statues of historical weight tend to represent heroism – of sorts. It might be of the doomed variety, and often is. Rebellious causes assume the visage of a stony form, to gaze soullessly across promenades or parks, often ignored by many who have long lost a sense of their meaning. In history, their removal is an act that flies directly[Read More...]

“American And democratic” Is Possible, But “Jewish And Democratic” Is Not
As Richard Falk points out, “anti-Semitism, and its links to Nazism and Fascism, and now to Trumpism, are genuinely menacing”, but Jews who call Trump himself an anti-Semite (in the sense of having an animus against Jews) are being false and so are those who perceive that the Labour Party in the U.K. is “too tolerant of anti-Semitism”. Consider these[Read More...]

Trump’s Fascism versus Obama’s Fascism
Barack Obama was the only U.S. President who at the United Nations defended nazism — racist fascism — and Holocaust-denial. It received almost no reporting by the press at the time (or subsequently). But his successor President Donald Trump could end up being removed from office because he said that racist fascists are just the same as are people who[Read More...]

Zakharova Slams CIA Chief Pompeo: Stop Making Up Anti-Russian Fiction
21st Century Wire says…
With the ongoing hysteria constantly spouting from the American mainstream media about alleged ‘Russian meddling’ in the 2016 election which saw Donald Trump elected as president of the United States, the world is still awaiting a single shred of real evidence to support the establishment’s conspiracy theory. To date, none has surfaced. -
Political Position Beyond Social Identities
To the believers in reactionary ideologies, one’s position in life or social identity based on social background in life is the primary determinant of one’s political beliefs. This is true to some extent, but beliefs in more progressive ideologies or political beliefs can enable one to break away from this pattern is a reality. It has to do with a[Read More...]

The Panoramic Circus Of Rural Development
The farmers in northern Maharashtra had suffered badly on account of low yields of cotton; additionally, the government procurement prices for cotton were pegged low.

Covering Up the Massacre of Mosul
Iraqi Kurdish military intelligence reports have estimated that the nine-month-long U.S.-Iraqi siege and bombardment of Mosul to oust Islamic State forces killed 40,000 civilians. This is the most realistic estimate so far of the civilian death toll in Mosul. But even this is likely to be an underestimate of the true number of civilians killed. … Continue reading "Covering Up the Massacre of Mosul"

Ron Paul & Jacob Hornberger on Trump’s Afghanistan Strategy: What To Expect
President Trump will unveil his new strategy for Afghanistan tonight. Will he do the sensible thing and end the failed longest war in history? Or will he continue doing the same thing and expect that somehow he will “win” the war? Does he even know what “winning” looks like? Today’s Ron Paul Liberty Report is joined by Future of Freedom Foundation president Jacob Hornberger to preview what the president may say…and why:

Russia pays last Soviet debt
This article was first published by RussiaFeed
An aspect of the events surrounding the dissolution of the USSR in 1991 which rarely gets discussed is that Russia took on itself the entire burden of paying the whole of the foreign debt owed by the USSR at the time of its collapse.
By contrast the other fourteen Soviet republics – now all of them independent states – were not required to pay any of this debt when the USSR collapsed. -
No, Corporate CEOs are Not Heroes
I warned everybody about this in several posts last week. How some of the worst cretins rummaging around the carcass of American freedom and democracy instantaneously began salivating ferociously at the opportunity to look heroic by coming out in opposition to a grossly exaggerated Nazi threat hyped up by the corporate media. The events in Charlottesville presented such a tremendous opportunity for sleazy people in power to preposterously frame themselves as "speaking truth to power," I knew they'd milk it for all it's worth. Days later, and they're still doing it.

The Great Recession, 10 Years Later

The World Remembers the 64th Anniversary of the West-sponsored Coup in Iran
Peaceful, tolerant and socially oriented Islam was seen as a tremendous threat, at least in London, Washington, and Paris. It had to be stopped, even destroyed – resolutely and by all available means. Only the pre-approved Wahhabism, which was collaborative with the West and from the onset at least partially ‘co-produced’ by the British Empire, was singled-out and allowed to ‘bloom and succeed’.

Syrian Rebels Expect the US Military to Remain in Syria for Decades

In Defense of "Eclipse Glasses" Price Gougers
Top vendors of solar eclipse safety glasses had been selling ten-packs for as little as $4 a month ago, but today commanded as much as $150 for the identical product. Inevitably, grumbling accusations of “price gouging” arise from the economically uninitiated, who claim vendors are extorting unreasonably high payments by exploiting unusual market conditions.

4 reasons the Syrian conflict has grabbed world attention more than Afghanistan
There is no such thing as a good war, but there are occasionally such things as just wars. The Syrian conflict is a variation on the second theme. Syria prior to 2011 was a country at peace, it was a country that was stable, it was a country that was placid. Of course, the Syria of 2011 was imperfect and one only needed to listen to the speeches within the People’s Council of Syria to realise that.

Wealth Redistribution is Not Economic Justice
On one hand, the objection to wealth disparity is understandable. When some people in the world are starving, when there is homelessness, when there is poverty, how can it be just that some people have so much? Is it illegitimate to reject the “aristocracy” of wealth? Is it not morally imperative to distribute economic gains to those who are left behind?
