In less than seven weeks, President Barack Obama will hand over the government to Donald Trump, including access to the White House, Air Force One, and Camp David. Trump will also, of course, inherit the infamous nuclear codes, as well as the latest in warfare technology, including the Central Intelligence Agency’s fleet of killer drones, the National Security Agency’s vast surveillance and data collection apparatus, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s enormous system of undercover informants...
Recent political events have shown that the ‘doom and gloom’ news narrative no longer serves society.

On December 16th, 1961 the world turned upside down and inside out, and I was born screaming in America. I was told when I grew up I could be anything I wanted a fireman, a policeman, a doctor, even president it seemed. But like many kids growing up on a steady diet of westerns I always wanted to be the cowboy hero that lone voice in the wilderness fighting corruption and evil wherever I found it, and standing for freedom, truth, and justice.
By Stephen Lendman | December 4, 2016 Long ago, anti-Semitism was an issue in America, very much so when I grew up. No longer. Today it’s in vogue to be Jewish. As a Jew, I’m fiercely critical of Israeli ruthlessness, a state run by fascists, Zionist ideologues and religious fundamentalists. I intend no letup in […]
Filmed testimonies of Palestinians in Jerusalem reveal a growing trend of violent assaults by far-right Jewish activists belonging to Lehava, or Flame in Hebrew. Run by rabbi Ben-Zion Gopstein, Lehava rejects any interaction between Jews and Palestinians. Jerusalem's streets are littered with fliers in Arabic warning, "Don't even think about a Jewish girl", and in Hebrew stating, "Beware the goys - they will defile you".

If you watch the ad above very closely the first time, it won't shock the hell out of you the way it shocked the hell out of me as it approaches the end.

I do know that two very sane gun safety advocates-- Carol Shea-Porter (NH) and Ruben Kihuen (NV)-- replaced two total gun loons, respectively, Frank Guinta and Cresent Hardy.

Beijing issued an orange alert on Sunday as air quality worsened in the capital and other areas [Xinhua]
China’s National Meteorological Center (NMC) has warned of heavy smog in the capital Beijing and other provinces in northern China such as Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong, Henan and Shanxi. It issued an orange alert for polluted air on Saturday.
China’s color code alerts include red – as the most dangerous and lethal, followed by orange, yellow and blue.
The air pollution will last until Monday by which time it will be dispersed by a cold weather front.
Xi has made combating climate change and air pollution (in many of Chinese cities) one of his government’s priorities [Xinhua]
President Xi Jinping said in a statement released by the Chinese Central Authority on Friday that his country will increase environmental inspections and crackdown on polluters.
The statement referred to the project as part of China’s aim to develop an “ecological civilization framework,” as the country continues to grapple with toxic air pollution levels.

With the passing of Thailand’s head of state, King Bhumibol Adulyadej, a universally revered cultural and pragmatic leader for the last 70 years, Thailand’s enemies see an opportunity in what they perceive as a void in national unity.
Throughout Washington’s policy circles, several articles containing analysis have been circulated regarding an opportunity for “change” or a “New Thailand.”
About a week ago we looked at the upcoming French presidential elections from the perspective of the primary of the center-right party, Les Républicains, which have since had their run-off and selected the

In this latest installment, I consider the polarizing figure of Fidel Castro in relation to the numerous tales of CIA subterfuge and “assassination attempts,” as well as the larger picture of how the CIA works under the CFR to control Latin America, and thus how Latin American operations are a microcosm of how the rest of the sectors are managed – from the Middle East to Eurasia.

For the last two years I have stated clearly in this blog that I do strongly believe that when Malaysian flight MH370 "magically" disappeared off of ground radar on March 8th, 2014, that the aircraft was absolutely hijacked by the US military and diverted to their Indian Ocean military base at Diego Garcia.... I have NOT seen any evidence to this day that has changed my opinion..... Yes, we have seen many reports of debris "washing up" on the beaches of many islands in the Indian Ocean including Madagascar...
