Former U.S. Congressman renounces American citizenship, defectsMuch to the embarrassment of Korean-Americans, the first person elected to Congress from their community was Jay Kim, a Seoul-born crooked conservative. A former mayor of suburban Diamond Bar, Kim was elected to Congress from the just created 41st CD in 1992. His campaign and his entire sleazy political career were financed by Korean corporate interests.

RT | November 10, 2014 A new study has revealed that 0.01 percent of the population holds more and more of America’s wealth.

New York State has 62 counties. A majority of voters in only 16 of them backed Andrew Cuomo's reelection as governor last week.

Honesty, I had hoped that I would not have to file another report on the Sandy Hook operation of December 14th, 2012, simply because by this time I thought most people would have finally got the message that it was indeed a massive fraud and a hoax..... The fact is that absolutely NO children "died" in that operation in Newtown Connecticut, and the whole operation was conducted for very nefarious reasons by the US Government....Many people have been asking the hard question: "If Sandy Hook was indeed a fraud, then what was its purpose?"....

Tom starts us off by exploring some of the themes brought out in The Lone Gladio with respect to main character Greg McPhearson; will we ever see a “rogue agent” within the CIA take on the agency?
Yes, it has been a long time since I put up an important health report here at this blog... But with the recent "Ebola outbreak" sweeping the Jew spew news, and the seasonal demand here in Canada where Canuckleheads are requested to line up like dumb ass sheep to take poisonous and deadly "flu shots", this one is long overdue...I want to share with everyone an important article right here that comes from the RINF website, at www.rinf.com...
By Kevin Barrett – Press TV – November 10, 2014 The continuing controversy over which Navy Seal supposedly killed Osama Bin Laden, and the allegedly ISIL-linked killings of two Canadian soldiers, are the latest media stunts designed to prop up the illusion of a “global war on terror” (GWOT) against radical Islam. The GWOT master […]
Now it's the Beltway Democrats' turn for an autopsy. Early indications are that they are in such a state of denial that the whole exercise will probably prove as pointless as the one the GOP did after they had their asses kicked by the electorate in 2012.
By JERRY LEMBCKE | CounterPunch | November 10, 2014 Unbelievable—an overused word, for sure. But it is what came to mind as I read Maureen Dowd’s November 1, New York Times column.

As you read this story, you will find a reoccurring theme… Namely: ALL LAWS AND REGS ARE SELECTIVELY ENFORCED! And that those who run and endorse the Phony “Drug War”, are in many instances profiting from the drugs, and or laws against drugs.
We realize that Sen (soon to be majority leader) McConnell is innocent until proven guilty, But ask yourselves; If it was YOU who was caught profiting from Central American Cocaine (or even smuggling it)…. Would you get such a benefit of the doubt? Not Bloody Likely!
Walking in rural Lebanon the other day I came across numerous families harvesting their olives in the same fashion you see in Palestine: tarp spread out, tree limbs shaken olives tumbling down, break for lunch in the shade of the olive tree, laughter, some singing….
But in Palestine, foreign colonists attack Palestinian harvesters…with the cover of the Zio army.
A simple, age-old act is rendered impossible or deadly.

November 11, 2014 (Tony Cartalucci - LocalOrg) - Facebook is a problem. It is undoubtedly being used by special interests to manipulate and monitor entire populations both within the United States and well beyond. It represents a tool that in no way serves the people actually using it, and instead allows special interests to use the users.
Press TV – November 9, 2014 Iran has strongly condemned the European Union’s latest move to impose fresh sanctions on a number of Iranian institutions and companies despite the ongoing negotiations between representatives of Iran, the US and the EU in the Omani capital, Muscat. “Under the circumstances that the nuclear negotiations are going on […]
Does it matter? Does it really matter?His legend will live on and his super villain status will explode into your consciousness!His omnipotence will cause you to shake with fear. He must be caught!!! For you to feel safe at night! Or some garbage like that?! Yup, al Baghdadi is going to be alive. For now, at this time, he is worth more alive then dead. So, it's going to be announced in rather short order he is alive and has gone deeper underground, requiring an expanded war effort. More boots on the ground.
Obama, Boehner and McConnell, political enemies, all feel they need to show the American people they can do something together that they can cooperate on. Remember Obama on Wednesday assuring the American people he heard us? "I'm eager to work with the new Congress to make the next two years as productive as possible.
“We have about 50 percent of the world’s wealth, but only 6.3 percent of its population… In this situation, we cannot fail to be the object of envy and resentment. Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships, which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity without positive detriment to our national security...."

By Kaveh L. Afrasiabi | Iran Review | November 10, 2014 One of the ironies of the current nuclear negotiations between Iran and the “5+1″ nations is that the latter are united in their demand from Iran to curtail its uranium enrichment program precisely at a time when they themselves are expanding their own programs, […]

The restoration of Russian power engineered by Vladimir Putin is compromised by the economic war waged against him by the United States and the European Union. Western aggression, observes Professor James Petras, will compel Russia to either eliminate the oligarchs on whom it has relied so far or die.

The major adversaries of the U.S. Empire are China, Russia and Iran. Of the three, China is the greatest threat to U.S. hegemony since its economy has already surpassed that of the U.S. in terms of purchasing power parity (PPP) according to the IMF. And military power in the end is a function of economic […]
For an administration that has put so much emphasis on hunting down "leakers," it’s pretty amazing how leaky Washington gets when it comes to matters of concern to the Israelis. Take the recent Wall Street Journal story on President’s Obama’s alleged letter to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. How did the Journal get their hands […]

As far as we know, so far Sean Eldridge spent $4,659,027 in his failed NY-19 congressional run ($2,840,000 of which was from his personal wealth). His opponent, Chris Gibson, who spent $1,798,884, was an early DCCC target because the district has a PVI of D+1 and because Obama won the district twice, 175,800 (53%) to 150,359 (45%) against McCain and 157,279 (52%) to 138,384 (46%) against Romney.

Moonlit History | October 24, 2014 Churchill is seen as the British icon of endurance and strength through gloomy war. His drowning voice of “we shall fight on the beaches” is easily identifiable with World War II. And he was a complete drunk. But what do common folks now-a-days know of this man? Do you […]

Honestly, I do not wish what I had on anybody because it was horrendous….Where to start this week… The US just finished their "mid term" selections.. err…elections, and what we have are more of the same… Honestly, did anyone living in the United States actually think there was going to be any changes in Washington DC?
Military tensions, cyber espionage accusations, a brewing currency war; with every passing day, the headlines paint a convincing portrait of an emerging cold war between China and the West. But is this surface level reality the whole picture, or is there a deeper level to this conflict?

Join us in this in-depth edition of The Corbett Report podcast as we explore China’s position in the New World Order.
