With the extremely high possibility now of ‘President Hillary Clinton’, now seems a good time to anticipate what US foreign policy might look like under Hillary; and to recap some of the horror story of her foreign policy record to date. Aside from the fact that she’s a proven liar, schemer and conspirator, and even putting […]

In today’s show originally broadcast on October 17 2016, TBR Radio’s Andrew Carrington Hitchcock interviews TBR’s Assistant Editor, Ronald L. Ray to discuss his article, “Kosher Criminals – A Short History Of The Jewish Mafia,” from the September/October 2016 issue of The Barnes Review.
This article was essentially a review of Herve Ryssen’s book, “The Jewish Mafia,” which has been translated into English by Carlos W. Porter, and is now available from The Barnes Review.

By Robert Bridge | RT | October 16, 2016 The world seems to be sleepwalking its way into a geopolitical maelstrom as the US, increasingly paranoid over Russia, said it is considering a cyber-attack against the Kremlin in retaliation for purported Russian meddling in the US election process.

Sputnik – 17.10.2016 US security officials are bewildered that GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump has dared to doubt their allegations against the big bad russkies. Who would have thought? Any statement made by US intelligence should be perceived as unquestionable truth, and shouldn’t be interrogated for proof. And should someone, like Republican presidential candidate Donald […]

[audio mp3="https://www.corbettreport.com/mp3/flnwo39-lq.mp3"][/audio]Julian Charles of TheMindRenewed.com joins us this month to discuss Being There, the 1979 film by director Hal Ashby that follows the story of Chance the Gardener, a simple man with no experience of the outside world who is suddenly thrust onto the national political stage. Despite his complete lack of knowledge and experience (or precisely because of it) the powers behind the scenes float him as a potential candidate for next president of the United States.

If the United Nations caused 10,000 deaths and 700,000 cholera infections after Haiti’s January 12, 2010 disastrous earthquake, then it stands to reason that a continued association with the UN after six years of inaction on the cholera, plus the ravages of Hurricane Matthew, could only lead to more Haitian deaths.

Trump didn't enjoy the skit. The thin-skinned authoritarian wasn't amused. Early Sunday morning he tweeted what amounted to a classic SNL advertisement that belongs on the sides of buses and that they would be crazy to not use:Virginia has produced more presidents than any other state-- George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, Zachary Taylor and Woodrow Wilson.

Poor weather, cell phones, radios, alcohol, and jerks: we think of these as some of the most common causes of car accidents. However, scientists at the London School of Economics say that air pollution, of all things, should be added to that list.
Researchers say they looked at 5 years’ worth of data and found that when levels of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) rose just a microgram per cubic meter, the number of car crashes increased by 2%. [1]

Chemotherapy is very expensive. And statistically speaking, it does not cure cancers any better than doing nothing. Cancer quacks can buy chemo drugs at a reduced price and sell it to their patients at a 300 to 400% markup.
Compare this to Salvesterols. Most people never heard of them. Why? No money in them because they are free.

I have to admit to being alternately puzzled and depressed that I seemed to be the only libertarian with a major public platform to take a nuanced view of Donald Trump. After all, many of his foreign policy positions echo the libertarian critique of our interventionist foreign policy – and his enemies are, in large […]

BRICS is still in the age of adolescence: it has been 15 years since the term was invented and 10 since the virtual reality became a physical reality. BRICS meeting its semi-anniversary not in the best shape. It is true that economically only India can boast more or less dynamic growth; however it is still mired in poverty with many social problems and economic regulations far from ideal. China has not overcome the basic structural problems of its economy and growth is slowing; Russia is in the midst of a prolonged economic slowdown.

Rodrigo Duterte, the outspoken President of the Philippines has by now, most likely, joined the concealed, prestigious and permanent hit list of the Empire.
The hit list is very long; it has already been long for several decades. One could easily lose count and get confused: how many personalities have been marked and secretly condemned to death? How many of them actually died?

The last 10-15 years have been characterized by a successful development of the economies of the Gulf States, which have consistently been included in the Top-35 wealthiest nations in terms of the standard of living of their citizens. The income per capita in Qatar (the richest country in the world) has reached 105 thousand US dollars, while in Oman (the poorest state) it has amounted to about 30 thousand dollars.

In 2014 as he was discussing the disappearance of Malaysian Airlines Flight 370, CNN rodeo clown Don Lemon, reported and reputed to be the stupidest human on television, discussed the chance of something “supernatural” happening and actually asked panelists about the possibility that a black hole was involved.

Much has been made of Trump's snorting and sniffling at the debates. So Saturday, Mr. Projection Man suggested that Hillary was hopped up on drugs and that they should both agree to a drug test. Great idea-- and I suggested it an hour into the first debate when he was so obviously out of his mind on something he tooted before he went out on stage.

There are few scientific concepts that are more often misunderstood in blog debates than Determinism and Predictability. For many commenters, these two concepts are considered to be in fact equivalent, which leads to faulty or irrelevant arguments.
