March 29, 2017 (Joseph Thomas - NEO) - Recently, Thailand-based media platform, Voice TV, faced a seven day ban after violating licencing agreements and multiple counts of misconduct.
Recently, Thailand-based media platform, Voice TV, faced a seven day ban after violating licencing agreements and multiple counts of misconduct. Various articles, including those published by local English-language newspaper, The Nation, would portray the incident as a crackdown on “free of expression” and “media freedom.”
In its article, “Voice TV ban ‘an attack on media freedom’,” The Nation would claim:
As Yemen’s population has teetered on the brink of mass starvation in recent months, the United States has played a crucial role in enabling the Saudi strategy responsible for that potential humanitarian catastrophe. Both the Obama and Trump administrations have prioritized the US’s alliance with the Saudis and their Gulf allies over the lives of […]
Originally posted at TomDispatch. In 2003, not long after the American invasion, Dahr Jamail, a youthful freelance journalist from Alaska, headed to Iraq. He wasn’t then a reporter for anyone or, put another way, he was at that moment perhaps the most "unembedded" reporter on the face of the Earth. In the years to come, […]
President Trump’s former enemies in the mainstream media, which he has characterized as purveyors of “fake news,” turned on a dime the moment he bombed Syria: the Establishment was thrilled that, suddenly, he was acting “presidential.” CNN, a particular target of the President’s ire, was gushing: NBC’s Brian Williams, in a bizarre turn of phrase, […]
In response to allegations of the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian government in the country’s ongoing civil war, President Trump has ordered a series of air strikes on Syrian targets in what could be an overture to regime change. The strikes were carried out late Thursday night, hours after Russian deputy Ambassador Vladimir […]

The "special election notice" you're looking at was a mailer sent to every registered Republican in CA-34 just before the special election last week. Notice on the bottom who it was paid for, not the Republican Party and not the former head of the Republican Party, Shawn Steel, who wrote it. It was paid for by the official, FEC-registered Ahn for Congress congressional campaign.

Last Thursday evening, President Donald Trump ordered the U.S. military to launch airstrikes on a Syrian airbase based on a #FakeNews story, totally betraying his base and contradicting his campaign rhetoric and previous criticisms of America’s disastrous foreign policy and endless wars in the Middle East.

It is becoming increasingly self-evident that Steve Bannon’s opposition to Donald Trump’s unprovoked attack on Syria was the proximate cause for his removal from his position observing the National Security Council. His disagreements and personally poor relationship with Ivanka Trump’s husband Jared Kushner also certainly played a role.

In March 2017, Mintpress News reported on a declassified CIA report that exposes that, contrary to popular belief, the US government has had plans to initiate regime change in Syria as far back as the 1980s. The report is entitled “Syria: Scenarios of Dramatic Political Change” and was written by the Foreign Subversion and Instability Center in July 1986.
This is part 4 of a 5 part report which attempts to detail a history of the rise of ISIS and to explain its true relations to the actors involved in the war theatre.
Rachel Maddow has been covering the Alabama impeachment saga-- and for a long time. And she's doing a really good job of it. We haven't been writing much about Robert Bentley's plight because it looked like just another example of a hypocritical "family values" Republican caught in the act. "People bow to the throne." Yeah...But there is something beyond the salacious details to note in this unfolding scandal.

Out of all the intelligence agencies in the United States, we’ve come across stories where not everyone is on the ‘same page’. Indeed we’ve also heard about factions embroiled in competition, and rivalry. Moral compass, personal principles, and ethics being challenged which lead to inner conflict; just some of the reasons that gave us former NSA whistleblower William Binney and more recently in the last few years, Edward Snowden.
Following Napoleon’s murder in March 1804 of the Duc d’Enghien, Napoleon’s chief of police, Joseph Fouché, said of the murder “C’est pire qu’un crime, c’est une faute” –“It was worse than a crime; it was a blunder.” President Trump’s missile strike on Sharyat air base in Syria was like the Duc d’Enghien’s murder, not just a crime but a blunder.
Reasons given for why President Trump ordered the missile strike differ.

The annual "March of Return" by Palestinians in Israel, commemorating the Nakba - the expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their homes in 1948 - has been blocked by the Israeli police for the first time in its history. The police have denied the organisers a permit, saying there is a shortage of officers to oversee the march. But Palestinian leaders in Israel accuse the government of Benjamin Netanyahu of being behind the decision.

Comme Charles de Gaulle, François Mitterrand, ou encore de nos jours Henri Guaino, Jean-Pierre Chevènement, ou Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, je considère que la France et la République étaient à Londres pendant l’occupation, et que le régime de Vichy n’était pas la France.

teleSUR | April 8, 2017 In 2015, the United States government earmarked at least US$4.26 million for Venezuela through the U.S. Agency for International Development, or USAID, with much of this going to organizations undertaking anti-government work.

teleSUR | April 8, 2017 By now, you’ve heard the news.

Fake news reports on Russia and Iran preparing to retaliate against the illegal US missile attack on Syria are filling the web, but this could not be further from reality.
In a telephone call between Presidents Hassan Rouhani and Vladimir Putin, Russia and Iran have pledged to remain committed to aiding Syria in the fight against terrorism.
