The state controlled media sources in the US are desperately trying to present President Obama as a peacemaker that is “worthy of his Nobel Prize.” However, this “dignified symbol” in his actions doesn’t remind a hero of peace, instead he seems to be hiding a mask of the Greek god of war in his pocket – Mars.
4.94/5 (18) Mr. J.K. shared this story with us, and I have to talk about it. In previous blogs I've talked about the growth of "dark pools" and HFT (high frequency trading) algorithms, where computers place…

One of the most difficult aspects of demonstrating the possible risks of GMOs and their paired chemical herbicides such as Monsanto Roundup containing glyphosate is that the GMO chemical companies make it virtually impossible for serious, unbiased scientists to test possible dangers. An uncharacteristically huge resistance inside the member countries of the EU among the population and various NGOs has three times forced a postponement of EU Commission decision to renew the EU license for glyphosate.
New product will go with Monsanto's new Roundup Ready 2 Xtend soybeans which are genetically altered to resist dicamba and glyphosate

I am still following the information that is coming out of the alternative media and from my fellow friends and colleagues in the real "truth movement" about the latest false flag shooting in Dallas Texas... Yes, it does appear that at this one, or so it seems, we have some real deaths including possibly as many as 5 Dallas police officers.... I am still looking at the evidence and trying to put the pieces together before I call this any type of set up or hoax, and I do have some reports at this blog coming very soon.....
The Trump-supporting clown who replaced Boehner as Speaker of the House was, as we all know, dedicated ideologue Paul Ryan. A bigger joke, Warren Davidson, replace Boehner as the Representative from Ohio's 8th congressional district. He introduced his first amendment to a bill-- an appropriations bill as it turns out-- Wednesday.

(ANTIMEDIA) United States — We have become a culture on edge, fearful of when and where the next tragedy might be perpetrated by some opaque or obscure enemy ‘other’ seeking to inflict maximum harm on innocent lives.
But this abstract, pervasive, and fearanoid trepidation hasn’t been pulled from the blue — in fact, it amounts to little more than governmental propaganda meant to divide the populace and distract from the desire to reform pervasive, systemic issues the State might otherwise solve.

MEDIA MOCKERY: Man Who Died in Three 'Terror Tragedies' Still Alive
I recently spent a few days in London and was struck by several features of current London culture:1. Several times, younger passengers on the Tube (subway) offered me their seats. I have grey hair but do not appear (and am not) particularly feeble. I would be mildly surprised to have the same thing happen in the U.S.2. Most hotels I have stayed in recently, in the U.S. and abroad, have a safe in the room with a combination that the guest sets. The hotel I stayed at in the U.K. didn't. That might mean that U.K.
Not having ever watched an episode of Trump's TV sit-com, I started examining his 4th grade vocabulary and his manipulative/infantile way of addressing audiences last year.
One result of the British vote to leave the EU has been a revival of calls for Scotland to leave the U.K. Doing so is considerably more attractive if combined with EU membership. That raises the question of whether, if Brexit were followed by Scottish secession, the EU would be willing to let the Scots in.One argument in favor, from the standpoint of the EU, is that encouraging Scottish secession is a way of punishing the U.K. for leaving and so deterring other countries from doing so.
This is really one big perception managing psychological operation to promote a divide to conquer:Yup Micah X Johnson.. Micah Xavier Johnson or Micah X-Allegedly, all about black power.
Much of the discussion of the recent British vote to leave the European Union takes it for granted that the result will be less free trade for the U.K. While that is possible, so is the opposite result. Britain can still negotiate a free trade agreement with the EU, as several non EU countries have done, assuming both sides want it. And leaving the EU leaves Britain free to negotiate free trade agreements with other countries, most obviously the Commonwealth. The critical issues are the positions of the U.K. government and its potential trading partners, including the EU.
It will be no surprise to readers of this blog that I believe Tony Blair should be put on trial for crimes against humanity for assisting George Bush in attacking Iraq in 2003. The Chilcot inquiry, however compromised its members were by their establishment ties and however cautious they were in their use of language, have very belatedly reached the […]

(TFC Op-Ed) Washington, DC – The airwaves are full of pundits screaming about violence against police officers. These are the same pundits that disregarded the warnings of experts in the field of insurgency when the Ferguson riots broke out and chose to dismiss the rioters as “thugs.” They continued to cheerlead for more police militarization even after the first officers were shot in targeted killings.
Press TV – July 7, 2016 A French court has sentenced to eight years in jail a tycoon, who previously made unrelated donations to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, over a massive fraud scheme.

As the recent events (and subsequent incoherent media narratives) in Dallas continue to unravel, familiar patterns have already emerged that once again paint a now familiar picture of large-scale planning. We are now expected to believe this highly coordinated, professional “sniper” operation, whose numbers and details have now significantly changed, were conducted by the likes of a former vet and unknown accomplices for the purposes of targeting “white people,” and in particular, police.

Cornell promoters of the GM Bt brinjal project in Bangladesh have published a paper on the crop’s performance that has an oddly narrow focus – and doesn’t mention Bangladesh, where the crop suffered widespread failure
Anxious and nervous men and women with guns are going to kill more innocent people. They don't do it maliciously, they do it because at any given time snipers could be around the corner waiting for them.
If I made that statement last week I would have sounded crazy, 'at any given time snipers could be around the corner'.
