There are multiple quantitative measures for a given nation’s degree of democracy, in comparison with that of other nations, but perhaps the best is the job-approval that the nation’s citizens give of the head-of-state. On that measure, Russia is far more of a democracy than is the U.S., and is second only to China worldwide.
China has just opened a new railway link with Iran and CNPC is set to fill the void left by France's Total if and when they leave the South Pars field. It looks like the US pulling out of the Iran deal is win-win for China and the BRICS world order...and the engineered destruction of the west continues apace.
“You build a house. They destroy it. You raise a child. They kill him.”
Chris Hedges, America’s Last Real Journalist, a profession now owned by propagandists hired by interest groups to tell their lies, gives us reason to think—Are Israelis God’s Chosen People or Satan’s Genocidal Racist Psychopaths?
Al-Masdar News – 14/05/2018 Russia views positively Egypt’s decision against sending its troops to Syria as was proposed by Washington, Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said after negotiations between Russian and Egyptian foreign and defense ministers in the 2+2 format on Monday. “We touched upon this issue in the context of discussing the Syria situation, […]

As Israel killed more than 50 Palestinians in cold blood protesting the American embassy move on Monday, U.S. corporate media failed to accurately report what happened in Gaza, once again meekly protecting the government line, argues Joe Lauria. By Joe…Read more →
Maybe you don't believe that Ryan fled from the field of battle when he noticed that Randy Bryce's @IronStache momentum was leaving him with no pathway to reelection. And maybe you believe that the Speaker of the House decided he really needed to be home in Janesville 7 days a week so he could spend the next few years teaching little Sammy and Charlie how to kill animals with bows and arrows.
By Alex GORKA | Strategic Culture Foundation | 14.05.2018 The US, Swedish, and Finnish defense ministers signed a trilateral Statement of Intent (SOI) to expand defense cooperation on all fronts. The signing ceremony took place in Washington on May 8. In 2016, the two Scandinavian nations finalized separate defense SOIs with America. Now they have signed a joint document […]

Passer l’aspirateur n’est pas toujours une partie de plaisir : pour peu que nous, ou notre entourage, ne supportions pas le bruit, très vite aspirer peut devenir un calvaire. Fort heureusement, de nouvelles technologies sont apparues pour permettre aux aspirateurs de gagner en silence tout en proposant une puissance et des performances supérieures.
Is Putin’s Strategy Finally Beginning To Work?
Paul Craig Roberts
I have explained Russian President Vladimir Putin’s Christian practice of turning the other cheek to Western provocations as a strategy to convey to Europe that Russia is reasonable but Washington is not and that Russia is not a threat to European interests and sovereignty but Washington is. By accommodating Israel and withdrawing from the multi-nation Iran nuclear-nonproliferation agreement, US President Donald Trump might have brought success to Putin’s strategy.
La scarification de votre pelouse est un procédé quasi nécessaire si vous souhaitez obtenir un gazon qui soit suffisamment entretenu. Elle va permettre de dégager les débris végétaux qui asphyxient votre pelouse et l’empêche de repousser aisément. Un terrain scarifie, c’est ainsi un terrain qui permet non-seulement à votre pelouse et à votre terre de respirer facilement, mais surtout de permettre une bonne hydratation des racines. Une fois les débris dégagés, l’eau s’infiltre en effet bien plus en profondeur, ce qui permet à votre pelouse d’en tirer le maximum de bienfaits.

While the US officially transferred its embassy to Jerusalem, Israeli forces killed scores of demonstrators in Gaza.

As American and Israeli officials inaugurated the move of the US embassy to Jerusalem – […]
By Dennis Morgan | CounterPunch | May 14, 2018 In the age of globalization during the last quarter of the 20thcentury, the English language achieved global hegemony as the “lingua franca” for international communication. It is no small coincidence that during this same time, after the end of the Cold War, the US rose as […]
Tondre sa pelouse peut paraitre, de base, être un exercice plutôt aise. Il suffirait en effet simplement d’allumer la tondeuse puis de passer en boucle sur le terrain afin que la coupe soit réalisée. Les choses sont, en réalité, plus complexes si l’on veut éviter que notre pelouse ne ressemble a un terrain complètement ravage par une tondeuse folle. Dans cet esprit, il est important de suivre des étapes précises – que nous vous détaillons plus bas – afin d’optimiser la coupe.
And we recently discovered, if it was not known before, that no amount of power can withstand the hatred of the many.

By Finian Cunningham | RT | May 14, 2018 How obscenely ironic. Embassies traditionally symbolize diplomacy and peace. The opening of the US Embassy in Jerusalem was occasioned by a grotesque baptism of murder of Palestinians, heralding wider war in the Middle East. Not only that, but on the very anniversary of one of the […]

As US and Israeli leaders tout ‘great day,’ human rights defenders decry breach of international law and abhorrent violence. (CD) — Human rights advocates are shattering the characterization of the U.S. embassy’s opening in Jerusalem on Monday as something to celebrate—a portrayal put forth by President Donald Trump, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and the Senate’s top Democrat, […]
By Omar Baggili | RT | May 14, 2018 The British government has given the self-described ‘impartial’ Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) £194,769.60 for a project to help fund “communications equipment and cameras,” according to journalist Peter Hitchens. The Sunday Mail’s Hitchens, a regular critic of British foreign policy, tweeted on Sunday: “Boris Johnson’s […]
Young Palestinians protestors at the Gaza border carry signs in Hebrew: “Soldier, we are not objects, we are human beings.’ By Gilad Atzmon | May 14, 2018 Zionism promised to solve the Jewish problem. It vowed to fix Diaspora Jews by means of a ‘homecoming,’ to make the Jews loved, empathic, bond them to the […]
(CD) — Warning that the U.S. could impose sanctions on European companies that continue to do business with Iran after President Donald Trump violated the international nuclear accord last week, national security adviser John Bolton said in an appearance on CNN Sunday that he believes “Europeans will see that it’s in their interests to come along with us.” In response […]
By James Petras | Axis of Logic | May 13, 2018 Introduction For some time, critics of President Trump’s policies have attributed them to a mental disorder; uncontrolled manic-depression, narcissus bullying and other pathology. The question of Trump’s mental health raises a deeper question: why does his pathology take a specific political direction? Moreover, Trump’s […]

Recent decades have seen much fewer of the listees being from the lucky sperm club, and many more of them there because of their own hard work.
This fact refutes Piketty’s main argument, and in doing so undermines his major policy demand: that the rich should be taxed more.
The UN Security Council is expected to meet to investigate the high number of Palestinian casualties in Gaza on Monday
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared Monday a historic great day of peace in acknowledgement of the US embassy formally opening in Jerusalem as scores of Palestinian protesters were killed and injured in Gaza.

Will the Senate confirm career CIA officer Gina Haspel to be the Agency’s next director? Sens. McCain and Paul, who don’t often agree, have both vowed to oppose Haspel due to her past involvement in torture and cover-up of torture. They have a good point. But is there a bigger issue in play here? If we are going to have the kind of government agency that the CIA has become – fomenting coups, arming jihadists, paramilitary activities, etc. – maybe, and sadly, she’s just the right person for the job!
We should be able to identify racists and label them as such, but when people like Sam Harris and Ben Shapiro get labeled as racists, it allows actual racists to cruise under the radar. We lose the power to identify and label the actual racists.
(ZHE) — New evacuations were ordered in the Puna district of Hawaii’s Big Island Sunday after a massive 1,000-foot-long fissure opened on Kilauea volcano, sending bright red rock and magma hundreds of feet into the air with an ominous “jet engine” sound. The fissure was initially thought to be the 18th but was downgraded after the previous one did not […]
By Ramzy Baroud | American Herald Tribune | May 14, 2018 When Google Earth was initially released in 2001, I immediately rushed to locate a village that no longer exists on a map, which now delineates a whole different reality. Although I was born and raised in a Gaza refugee camp, and then moved to […]

One of the key ingredients of a great entrepreneur is the ability to constantly ask yourself, “How can I make this better?” This is a question Airbnb co-founder Joe Gebbia has been asking himself his whole life. And it was this innate desire to innovate and improve on existing models that has taken Airbnb from a fringe Silicon Valley experiment to a household name.
Part of the "Collateral Murder" video that Chelsea (then Bradley) Manning gave to WikiLeaks. It's worth watching to the very end. Two staff members from Reuters news were among those murdered on the street, along with others from a van shot up while trying to collect the wounded. Visible in the van were two children, who were also wounded. "Well, it's their fault for bringing their kids to a battle," says one of the Americans doing the shooting.
Ecuador’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, María Fernanda Espinosa, confirmed in a briefing with a small group of journalists in Quito last week that a “permanent dialogue” with the United Kingdom and Julian Assange’s lawyers seeks to resolve his status of asylum at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London.
“We are looking for a way out, but that exit has to be framed within international human rights law,” Espinosa said.

The nation’s capital is basically a playpen for special interests. It’s now the richest region of the country, with lobbyists, bureaucrats, contractors, politicians, and other insiders and cronies getting fat and happy thanks to money that is taken from people in the productive sector of the economy.
Republicans play the game and Democrats play the game, with both sides getting undeserved wealth at our expense.
Let’s take an up-close look at how this sordid game is played.

Based on my previous analysis and recent viewing of the Guardians of the Galaxy films, Doctor Strange and the latest installment of Avengers, the Infinity War – replete with gnostic, Luciferian and cabalistic themes. Marvel and Hollywood are not just political propaganda, but occult workings on a deeper, darker level.
