US Has Officially Gone Insane
The low-ball mudslinging and pantomime palaver among America’s political class is like a theater of absurd. Any form of vilification is now acceptable.

Soros And the Rothschilds Might Have Tipped Their 2020 Hand
One way to make an educated guess about the future is to keep a close eye on the Bankers as they have more power than any other group in the world. As David Rothkopf said in Superclass, the world is run by 30 Families and their Minions. Rothkopf used to be the Managing Director of Kissinger Associates back in the 1990s.

Authored by Patrick Armstrong via The Strategic Culture Foundation:
Remember the Spinal Tap scene where the witless band member explains that because their numbers go to 11 they can always get that little bit extra? Putin Derangement Syndrome went past 11 a long time ago: we need a whole new set of superlatives, “craziest” just won’t do any more -
Midnight Meme Of The Day!
by NoahHere's the President Of The United States Of America, "the leader of the 'free' world," the "dear leader" and cherished icon of the Republican Party, the servant of Putin and the traitor to his country. The picture for tonight's meme was taken at a recent get together with other world leaders and as you can see, Trump did a fine job of representing the intelligence of the American voter.

“American Dream” 2019?

This term was first used in James Adams’ book on history in order to motivate Americans during the Great Depression, a crisis that affected various strata of society. -
Report From Iran: The Country Moves Onward
Iran is a country that maintains something of the fascination it had in ancient times, when it was both fabulous and remote. In our times, it remained somewhat remote, but also something that couldn’t be ignored as it went through a series of dramatic events, from the revolution of 1979, the hostage crisis, the Iraq-Iran war from 1980 to 1988,[Read More...]

Pain
Pain to be documented for the sake of civilization. Pain, language of the unspoken, censored, plugged and precluded. Pain of mothers daughters and lovers, of sons, fathers and admirers. Pain of separated caged minors of mums in the dread for their teens. Pain of kids deprived of children’s play and tempers. Pain of teachers in empty schools like haunted sanctuaries.[Read More...]

Saudi Bases and the Bin Ladens: A Love Story
What is Trump really up to? It’s almost unknowable. At the same time that the president was pulling (some) troops out of Northeast Syria, giving an antiwar speech, and then sending other troops back into Syria to "secure the oil," he also quietly sent another 1800 service members into Saudi Arabia. What little Trump did … Continue reading "Saudi Bases and the Bin Ladens: A Love Story"

What the Dismantling of the Berlin Wall Means 30 Years Later
Some anniversaries are less about the past than the future. So it should be with November 9, 1989.

Think of it as the triumph of idealistic hope over everything that[Read More...]

Did Mr. "I Brought All The Troops Home" Invade Syria Yesterday?
You'd think someone would have mentioned it. Oh, CNN did. Saturday morning a convoy of between a dozen and two dozen military vehicles left northern Iraq and crossed into Syria's Deir Ezzor region to either prevent the recently escaped ISIS prisoners from taking over the Syrian oil fields, or seizing the fields.

And their mission seems to have changed. They're going to be protecting the oil.
