More arresting is Marx’s comment that history repeats “the first time as tragedy, the second as farce.” Today the farce being played out in the United States is plain for all who care to witness it. The historic tragedy that the farce obscures is harder to discern, and portends the resurgence of conditions and attitudes that in the past have led to disaster.

With the ruling United Russia party losing some of Moscow's districts to the opposition, Putin’s legitimacy as a presidential candidate is questioned, at least in the capital city.
Donald Trump has delivered a shockingly bellicose speech during his first appearance before the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
The speech began by striking a tone which sounded more like a speech before a domestic US audience than before the nations of the world.
In late August, German Federal Minister of Economic Affairs and Energy, Brigitte Zypries issued an official letter to the President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker in which she proposed to tighten the existing merging and acquisition principles applied in cases when a European company is to be acquired by legal entities that operate outside of the EU.

Sputnik – 19.09.2017 Ex-US President Barack Obama is monetizing his experience in the office by sharing it with Wall Street’s special interests for a heft bounty, whilst many Americans are struggling to pay their skyrocketing insurance premiums, debt bills, and ballooning rents.

By Caitlin Johnstone | The Last American Vagabond | September 18, 2017 If I could have everyone in the English-speaking world watch only one video on Youtube, it would without a doubt be a comedy bit performed by a funny-looking professional goofball on RT. I say in all seriousness that it could change the trajectory […]
I was at the movie theater, one of the ones that lets you take a glass of wine in with you. Of course, they are plastic. They are not stupid; no one wants breakage in the theater. It was great! And it got me thinking: you know, we don’t want breakage anywhere, actually. It’s not okay in the theater. It’s not okay at the pool. But, hey, it’s not okay in my home either.

Canadian trust in any news is likely dangerously low. Canadians need to realize the lie pushing by the media originates, regarding science news, in the politicized scientific community itself ! That's the real problem.Thankfully most people aren’t believing the lies and agenda pushed via the always perception managing media- I am surprised and very relieved by this report and have had some faith in the Canadian populace restored.Link

It’s about controlling information offline and online By Alex Christoforou | The Duran | September 19, 2017 Google is learning from its mistakes.

The justice system is not accustomed to being told “no.” And why should it be? Ninety percent of felony cases never actually make it in front of a judge or jury. This is one reason why Browder’s case was so unique; he refused to take a plea deal. And so the system destroyed him.
It makes no difference as to your skin color, your religion, your ethnic background, your moral standings, your country of origin, your political views, your anything else. Someone, all the same, is out to “get you.” If you are Muslim. some people are looking to destroy you as they did for this poor child: I reject this butchery of another[Read More...]

(ANTIMEDIA) – Have you ever thought about whether future humans will live out aspects of their lives online in simulated environments, or even extend their natural lifespans by uploading their minds to a secure cloud ecosystem? It’s been a familiar idea in science fiction for decades. With news that Elon Musk was attempting to build a “neural lace,” the concept of a brain-machine interface (BMI) entered the public lexicon.
China and Russia have increased their joint naval exercises, such as the China-Russia “Joint Sea” drills, since 2012 [Xinhua]
China and Russia kicked off the second stage of their joint naval operations in the Sea of Japan amid rising tensions between the US and North Korea.
The Chinese fleet, which consists of missile destroyers, frigates, submarines, helicopters and naval personnel arrived in the Russian port of Vladivostok on Monday.
The iPhone X has not even been released and people are already complaining about it. That's not surprising; one of the hallmarks of disruptive innovation is that it isn’t quite as good as you might expect at doing certain things. Rather, disruptive innovation opens up new, previously unforeseen opportunities, and that’s where we need to look for its full effect.
We've been commenting lately about how mainstream Republicans are starting to announce their retirements from Congress earlier and in greater numbers than normal. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL), Dave Reichert (R-WA), Charlie Dent (R-PA) and David Trott (R-MI) have already announced they've had it and won;'t be returning to Congress in 2019.
Lugansk People’s Republic authorities have confirmed that last nights attack on the Paratroopers Monument located next to the Academic Music and Drama Theatre was an act of terrorism.
The photograph below shows the destroyed monument juxtaposed with an image of the monument prior to being blown up by terrorists.
Lugansk People’s Republic Minister of the Interior Igor Cornet was cited by the Donbass based DONI News Agency as stating,

Early reports from Lebanon indicate that Israeli fighter jets have bombed a large hilltop in the Sheba’a Farms area of Lebanon, near the Syrian border. As the attack was conducted unilaterally, it is classed as a war crime.
Weeks ago, Hezbollah won a decisive battle against ISIS and al-Qaeda terrorist forces in Lebanon’s borderlands with Syria. The surviving prisoners of war were later transferred via bus to eastern Syria as part of a prisoner exchange deal.

Not only does she refuse to go away, but former US presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, is ready to contest the US election…should evidence finally present itself that Putin recruited Trump, purchased $100K in Facebook ads, and proceeded to paint the electoral college red.
America has had a tense post-Cold War relationship with North Korea, to put it mildly. Every US President from George H.W. Bush to Donald Trump has had difficulty in one form or another with North Korea, usually due to America’s lumbering aggressive posture towards Pyongyang. But throughout the post-Cold War period, one former US President has been what can only be described as a lone voice of reason and balance on the issue. That man is of course, Jimmy Carter who first entered the White House in 1977 before leaving after one term.
Years prior to the Bolshevik seizure of power, Lenin and many other young revolutionaries who voiced their opposition to the …Continue reading →
Is it possible to historicize the commons, to describe the evolution of the commons over time? This is our first draft and preliminary attempt to do so. To do this we must of course define the commons. We generally agree with the definition that was given by David Bollier and others and which derives from the work of Elinor Ostrom[Read More...]
In a move that was immediately symbolic, but in the very short term also militarily important, the Syrian Arab Army has formally crossed the River Euphrates and is now active on the river’s east bank.
Nazareth: The eldest son of Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has found himself an unlikely poster boy for David Duke, a former Ku Klux Klan leader, and the neo-Nazi website Daily Stormer. Last week these cheerleaders for Jew hatred described 27-year-old Yair Netanyahu as “awesome” and “a total bro” for posting a grossly anti-semitic image on social media. It[Read More...]
A Facebook friend’s post set me thinking the other day. Her son, while memorizing an essay on the Independence Day, and reading the names of Subhash Chandra Bose, Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekhar Azad, the Rani of Jhansi and Mahatma Gandhi listed as martyrs, raised the query – “Gandhi died after Independence. Why, then, has he been characterized as a martyr?” The[Read More...]
Psychoanalysis has always been a bit harsh, if not downright suspicious of altruism. However, the spectacle of the overwhelming concern for Muslim women from Prime Minister Modi to U.P. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and the whole gamut of Hindu organisations does seem to strain credulity a trifle. Perhaps, the caution of psychology to step back and examine our narcissistic feelings[Read More...]
The situation of the Kurds has received little attention in media. Meanwhile, the largest ethnic group without a homeland is on the verge of a new status to reshape the political map of the Middle East. Iraq’s Kurdish region plans to hold an independence referendum on Sept. 25 in three governorates that make up their autonomous region, and in disputed areas controlled by Kurdish forces but claimed by Baghdad. A new non-Arab actor may soon appear on the Middle East volatile map. The process may not be limited to Iraq, but also include Syria, Turkey and Iran.

It’s no secret that the Trump administration is busily building a case to have the United States repudiate the P5+1 nuclear agreement with Iran. Even when the president grudgingly conceded that Tehran was complying with the explicit terms of the accord, he groused that Iranian leaders were violating “the spirit” of the document...
The Greek Orthodox Church has been plunged into a renewed crisis in the Holy Land as its leaders are accused of selling off land to extremist Jewish settlers in prime locations in Jerusalem's Old City. Hundreds of Palestinians rallied in the city to call for the removal of Patriarch Theophilos III, claiming that he had colluded with a settler organisation.
It seems to have reached a point of near exhaustion. What will the President of the United States do next? The money was on some diplomatic mayhem, a series of insults, and a trashing of various aspects of the organisation some Americans regard as a world government. But Donald Trump surprised those at the United Nations with a modest tone,[Read More...]

It took former POTUS Obama one year to go from the White House to Wall Street, earning big time paydays from heavyweight financial institutions.
None of this should surprise anyone. This is how corruption is done in American politics.
Obama promised to look out for the best interests of Wall Street while in office, and in return Wall Street would reimburse Obama once he left office.

Germany and France have backed the stance of Russia and China for negotiations to avert the Korea crisis. South Korea and Japan also seem to be amenable to recent calls by Russian President Vladimir Putin for exclusively diplomatic efforts. Any other option in the alarming standoff with North Korea over its nuclear weapons program portends disaster.
