21st Century Wire | October 15, 2016 This is a bit of an oddity as far as TED talks go… Investigative journalist Trevor Aaronson actually delivers a TED presentation which calls out the FBI for being the party responsible for creating the majority of so-called ‘domestic terror’ and ‘Islamic terror’ busts in the US since 9/11. Just […]

I have been taking better care of my body these last few years, but it did not make a damn difference these last two weeks as I went through a bout of sinus infections and one heck of a severe cold.... I have finally been feeling so much better these last few days.... I do want to thank all those who sent me some "get well" messages and comments....Lets face it...

Roar is a truly unique piece of cinema, possibly the most dangerous and brave and crazy film ever made. This week I take a look at this fascinating production which took 11 years to make, cost over $15 million and put most of its cast and crew in the hospital. The result is a magical, terrifying, hilarious story of the power of nature, the dangers inherent in our relationship with it and of good intentions gone badly wrong.(Read more...)

Yes, Trump is a disgusting monster, unfit for public office. And, yes, almost every self-promoting utterance out of his mouth is a lie. But there are kernels of truth in much of his bullshit. This weekend the establishment media outlets (and Democratic Party) are OD-ing on smelling salts because Trump is undermining American democracy by calling the system rigged. He says the system wanted to see Hillary Clinton in the White House.

After getting off to a good start in Goa, India, the 8th BRICS Summit in its final meetings today is rewriting global political and economic narratives. The gathering of five (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) of the world’s big movers and shakers of the global political economy promises to reshape the structure of international relations.

The IMF has set a number of conditions including floating the EGP in order to receive $12 billion in loans [Xinhua]

When Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping met for their bilateral on the sidelines of the 8th BRICS Summit in Goa two issues dominated. One was the Chinese resistance to India’s membership of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG).
The other was China’s refusal to support UN action against terrorists living under state protection in its ally Pakistan, who were involved in the attack on the Indian Parliament in New Delhi in 2001 and the 26/11 attacks in Mumbai in 2008.

Donald Trump is under attack for a series, seemingly endless, of tasteless comments and admissions of what may be legally defined as serial sexual assaults, perhaps numbering in the hundreds. Yet millions of American voters are choosing to overlook these behaviors. There is a reason for this and Trump, in his own clumsy way, is trying to communicate it to the world.
I have been watching events across the globe over the last few days, and what I see is truly alarming... Right now, it appears that the criminal "Powers That Be" or the so called "Global (Jewish) Elite" are about to send this entire world into a global war just to keep their control apparatus in place...
Justin and Ted-- good bipartisanshipIn DC, there's good bipartisan and there's bad bipartisan. Bad bipartisan, which is far, far more prevalent, usually revolves around corruption like, for example, when Wall Street whores from both sides of the aisle-- lets' say Republican Sean Duffy (WI) and New Dem Patrick Murphy (FL)-- get together to try to hobble the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
