Temer’s party has been beset by corruption accusation, potentially derailing his efforts to spearhead a revitalization of Brazil’s economy in 2017? [Xinhua]Doctors at the Sirio Libanes Hospital in Sao Paulo, where Michel Temer had surgery to clear three blocked coronary arteries, said the president is recovering well.
Temer is expected to leave hospital either late Monday or early Tuesday, his doctors said.
Temer, 77, has been undergoing a number of medical procedures since he was admitted to hospital on October 25 during a session of Congress.

Market trends now favor renewable energy as a cost-effective alternative to fossil fuels, but President Trump’s resistance to this good news is doing real damage in the fight against global warming, reports Jonathan Marshall.

Modi has called on the world to cooperate against terrorism and extremism [Archive]
India is today commemorating the ninth anniversary of the deadly Mumbai terrorist attacks which killed 170 people and wounded more than 300.
On November 26, 2008, 10 heavily armed militants from the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist group infilitrated the city of Mumbai, considered the financial capital of India, and began killing people sporadically.

It has become clear after Baghdad’s active attempts to suppress Iraqi Kurdistan that the region cannot hope for independence. Instead, it will remain autonomous.

...The chaos has strengthened Islamic extremism inside Libya and led to massive refugee flows across the Mediterranean—a humanitarian nightmare rivaling the one taking place in Syria. Proponents of U.S.-led regime-change wars have yet another catastrophic failure on their record.

-by NoahThe Judge Roy Moore case isn't the first case of a Christian Extremist being caught, figuratively and/or literally with his pants down and his hypocrisy showing. I'm reminded of former #1 TV preacher Jimmy Swaggart of The Assemblies Of God who was defrocked after his first scandal with a prostitute. That was in the 1980s.

It was another etching in a chronicle of extended violence.  For days, resistance by refugees and asylum seekers against forced removal from the Lombrom Naval Base on Manus Island had taken very public form.  Images of defiance and distress were receiving international attention.  With no electricity, with water supplies destroyed, things were getting dire.

The Australian Foreign Policy White paper was touted as a main course for consumers of policy, a document that revealed the inner workings of those creatures working for the Department of Trade and Foreign Affairs. Its temper is predictable, its prose wooden, the voice of a satrap trapped in the body of a sovereign. There were the traditional nods, the[Read More...]

Small scale and massive resource fights are totally understandable while predictable. They’ve been transpiring for millennia because practically everything alive needs to steal energy, directly or indirectly, from something or someone else to continue to exist. This transfer of energy, usually, involves killing. Imagine this happening on the African plains, for instance. There a leopard trounces on a gazelle. Sometimes[Read More...]

The accepted American version of the story about the start of the second phase of the nuclear crisis, and which is customary for audiences of non-Korea experts, usually goes something like this: “in 2003, against the background of the success of the American army in Iraq, North Korea announced that it possessed nuclear weapons”, and then removed the seals from its nuclear reactor, withdrew from the NPT and expelled IAEA officials from the country.

By Leo Panitch / Global Research.
A fresh and compelling new account of the Russian revolution to mark its centenary concludes by paying tribute to the Bolsheviks for acting as history’s switchmen, a term derived from the small booths that dotted the railway tracks across the Russian empire, where local revolutionaries had long gathered for clandestine meetings.

A consensus has formed among progressive groups that Hawaii Democrat Kaniela Ing is one of the 5 best candidates running for Congress anywhere in the country. Kaniela, a sharp, dynamic state Representative in Hawaii, is a big idea guy who you can get to know by listening to his 38 minute new interview with David Feldman above. As Feldman pointed out, Kaniela is talking about issues that many candidates are afraid to discuss: universal basic income, free public college education, GMOs, Medicare-For-All...

"THE NEWS ABOUT SLAVERY IN LIBYA IS A LIE"
The Great Tribes of Libya have confirmed to me personally that the slavery stories out of Libya are fake. The photos and videos are old and re-edited. I know this is true because I have some of the photos and videos in my files from 2011. Since the Zionists do not have Ghadafi to slander, they are now attempting to gin up hatred for Libya again - accusing the Libyans of doing what their own mercenaries did in 2011.

In 2011, Andy Revkin wrote an article (archive) entitled “Straight Talk on Rising Seas in a Warming World” (among other articles on the topic), in which he optimistically sought guidance on the topic from a then recent study of U.S. East Coast sea level coauthored by Mann (Kemp et al, 2011).

How this Trump thing is going to finally end is anybody's guess. The worst and most destructive way would be a second American Civil War. Too far-fetched? He and his inner circle-- including his children-- are headed for indictments, possibly prison sentences for the cronies and kids. Is a plateful of them headed to Russia seeking political asylum more far-fetched? Unimaginable?

The news regarding more then 2,000 US Troops present in Syria- alongside this latest leak from the US backed “SDF” aka PKK/YPG  mentioning a total of 4,000 troops,  all coming to the fore ahead of the Geneva talks this Tuesday November 28/2017?!?!   Can that be a coincidence? I think not!Should we expect an announcement of the US intent to "keep the peace" through this transitional period?  Will Syria be federalized? Will the annexed Syria territory fully armed and occupied by the US and PKK thugs be legitimized? It's all in the presentation boys and girls....

Yesterday, Newsweek warned that Jeff Sessions is planning to end the recognition of the legitimacy of medical marijuana before the end of the year.

Tom Secker and I finish off our trilogy of episodes discussing House of Cards. This month we look at the last season The Final Cut. We discuss Francis’ long political career as it begins it’s twilight phase. Tom and I talk at length about the Cyprus story-line which introduces foreign policy to the show for the first time. We touch on FU’s complete lack of expertise in this realm and how it contributes to his ultimate demise. Tom and I also discuss whether Urquhart’s experiences as a young man in Cyprus made him into the psychopathic individual he is as Prime Minister.

Who's going to clean up the disgusting crap Trump and the Republican Party took on America? Electing a Democratic Congress next year will be a start but it won't be enough. America is going to need a smart, strong, capable and determined president in 2020. When Eurystheus ordered Hercules to clean up King Augeas' stables, he only had one day to do it and he altered the course of two rivers-- Alpheus and Peneus-- to get it done.

When there was a crash near Trier, Germany, last year, involving a road transport carrying an unmarked container from the Baumholder army base, which is a weapons depot, few would have suspected that it would unmask a mechanism of weapons trafficking including both private and private airbases: Bitburg Airport (a former US military base) and the Spangdalem Air Base.

The National Parks Service proposed doubling entrance fees at 17 national parks to help cover needed infrastructure improvements. Many large conservation groups and environmentalist organizations are opposed. But by refusing more realistic park fees, conservation groups and environmental organizations are advocating a system that ironically, isn’t sustainable.

Children come into the world biologically designed to educate themselves. Their curiosity, playfulness, sociability, and willfulness were all shaped by natural selection to serve the function of education. So what do we do? At great expense (roughly $15,000 per child per year), we send them to schools that deliberately shut off their educative instincts.
