Al-Manar – November 17, 2016 The Syrian Presidential Political and Media Advisor Dr. Bouthaina Shaaban said that Syria’s upcoming victory is a victory for the axis of resistance and all the states which believe in the sovereignty of states.

Press TV – November 17, 2016 A senior Israeli official says Tel Aviv should be concerned about deepening disconnect with Moscow over Russia’s role in the Syria conflict.

In today’s show originally broadcast on November 17 2016, TBR Radio’s Andrew Carrington Hitchcock interviews Dr. Adrian Krieg to commence a new series on his book, “Turning The Tide – A History Of The Modern World.”
This is the second book of a trilogy that I will be covering with Adrian on the show. This trilogy (which also includes, “Liberalism – The Bane Of Civilization,” (which we have already recorded a two part series on) and, “Practical Economics For Millennials.”), is available from Amazon sites worldwide and direct from the publisher, “A2Z Publications.”

We are often asked, when criticizing the foreign policy of the past several Administrations, “oh yeah, what would you do?” Well we decided to come up with five specific fixes to the prevailing foreign policy that we believe would make a huge difference and would move us much closer to a foreign policy of peace and prosperity. Our top five today on the Ron Paul Liberty Report:

By Craig Murray | November 17, 2016 “We do not agree the right of self-determination applies to the Chagossians”, says Foreign Office minister Alan Duncan, who later clarifies that they are not “a people”. If you can stand it, you can watch the urgent question in the Commons today which forced the government to defend […]
It may be endlessly entertaining-- and even instructive-- to read about the discord in the Trump transition team, and Maddow certainly seems to have made it her beat, but the GOP knife fights, certainly part of Trump's managerial style, shouldn't take us away from the realistic goal we have to concentrate on: winning, winning, winning in 2018-- House seats and state legislative seats.

In 1933, President Franklin Roosevelt boldly solved the problem of a chronic shortage of gold by taking the dollar off the gold standard domestically. President-elect Trump, who is nothing if not bold, can solve the nation’s funding problems by tapping the sovereign right of government to issue money for its infrastructure needs.

Does alcohol cause cancer, or does it prevent it? Scientists have given us mixed messages; so it’s confusing, to say the least. It has always seemed to depend on the type of cancer, the kind of alcohol, and the amount of alcohol consumed.
For example, red wine consumption has been shown to reduce the risk of breast cancer. In that study, participants drank 8 ounces of red wine each evening.

Researchers at the University of Dundee at University College London have come to an unlikely conclusion; women who have had their tonsils or appendix removed are more likely to get pregnant. But the results certainly don’t make it fact.
The study contradicts what most doctors learned in medical school: that the removal of the appendix can reduce fertility later on in life. Though as you should expect, Dr. Sami Shimi states that women shouldn’t try to have healthy organs removed in order to simply improve their chances of pregnancy.

The first two Iron Man movies are far more important to cinematic history than their daft scripts, super-arrogant star performer and cartoonish presentation might suggest. Between them they made over $1.2 billion worldwide and established the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which has since become the biggest film franchise of all time.
For over five years the leaders of the United States, Britain, France, and Germany have been working to topple the Syrian Arab Republic. In their efforts to remove the independent nationalist government led by the Baath Arab Socialist Party, the western imperialist powers have enlisted their collection of petroleum vassals and despots in the nearby area.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has revived long-standing suspicions that his predecessor, Yasser Arafat, was murdered. Abbas announced last week that he knew the killer's identity, adding that the world would be "amazed when you know who did it". Abbas also suggested that a Palestinian commission of inquiry into Arafat's death may be close to releasing its findings, after years of delays.
So, the European Commission, at last, concluded that the eurozone’s fiscal stance is too austerian. “Better late than never”, some will say. Alas, this is too optimistic a take. The reason? The Commission is irrelevant and it knows it. Decisions of … Continue reading →

Over the past 18 months, whether in Midwestern airports or New Hampshire and Iowa hotels, I learned the best way to spot a Donald Trump supporter was to note who was remaining silent.

While America’s political left continue to march and occupy college campus spaces around the country, there is little if any serious challenging instrospective analysis or challenging debates as to why liberal Democrats and their mainstream media surrogate outlets continued to inflate their own reality bubble throughout the election cycle.

Yes, it’s true that a string of epic failures on the part of Democrats and the Hillary Clinton campaign contributed to Donald Trump’s success in the US Presidential Election, but the real explanation for last week’s surprise result goes much deeper than any mainstream media commentator or academic ‘expert’ would dare admit.
This does not mean that the Soros regime change racket and its multiple tentacles, in parallel to the Clinton machine-dominated DNC, will quit. Plan A – Maidan in the USA – is not exactly a winner among the masses...
The Indian prime minister last week outlawed 500 and 1,000 rupee notes [Xinhua]Foreign investors have sold $1.25 billion of Indian equity shares during the past 5 trading days, an Indian business daily reported on Thursday.

When Hillary Clinton delivered a campaign post-mortem to her major supporters in a telephone conference call late last week, she blamed her loss in the presidential election on FBI Director James Comey. She should have blamed the loss on herself. Her refusal to safeguard state secrets while she was secretary of state and her failure […]
As I was growing up, I was always reassured by the sound of the ‘Muadhin’ making the call for prayer in our refugee camp’s main mosque in Gaza. Whenever I heard the call very early in the morning, announcing in a melodic voice that the time for the ‘Fajr’ (dawn) prayer was upon us, I […]

The first thought that popped into my head after the political nuclear bomb went off in the US on election night with Trump’s taking the presidency, was “Where do we go from here?”
As with all newly elected presidents, what they promise on the campaign trail, and what they do after they win is often a legacy of broken promises.
The chances of Trump pursuing an economic stimulus that will benefit the lives of those he promised to help are slim. Republican presidents have a penchant for ditching their ideological commitment toward small government, turning into big deficit spenders soon … Continue reading →

-by Denise SullivanJazz-blues singer-songwriter Mose Allison is yet another extraordinary example of the ways in which the best (and by that I mean, the only good) American popular music made by white people borrows, steals, and is inspired by music that is tied to a root of African or African-American origin. American music is, as the narrative goes, where “the races meet;” the space where we walk right in, set right down and let it all hang out.
