by NoahMoscow's Mayor Rudy Giuliani is one of those knuckle-dragging goons that craves being the center of attention. He can't live without it. So much so he's practically demanding now to be a witness at the impeachment trial of his even more bonkers buddy. Rudy just has to get out there and be in front of the cameras. I mean, can you imagine what he must be like at home, away from public view?

A landmark ruling by the UN Human Rights Committee said: It unlawful to return refugees to countries where their lives may be threatened by the impacts of the climate crisis. The non-binding ruling is a move, which could set a precedent for future protection claims. The committee’s judgment centered on the case of Ioane Teitiota, a man from the Pacific[Read More...]

Les craintes d’une guerre majeure au Moyen-Orient ont explosé jeudi soir avec l’assassinat par les États-Unis du deuxième homme sans doute le plus puissant d’Iran.
L’assassinat par les États-Unis du commandant du Corps des gardiens de la révolution iraniens, le général Qassim Soleimani, à l’aéroport de Bagdad, jeudi soir, a accru les craintes qu’une guerre de grande ampleur entre l’Iran et les États-Unis n’éclate au Moyen-Orient.
The killing of Iranian General Soleimani was big news. There were a few points made in the Western mainstream media about its legality being dubious, but nobody seems to be concerned that it contravened international law, in addition to be totally amoral. One wonders if any of the drone operators, the little key-tapping techno-dweebs thousands … Continue reading "Drone Strikes Leave Innocent Widows and Orphans"

In late December 2018, when James “Mad Dog” Mattis resigned as secretary of defense after President Trump announced that he was going to pull U.S. troops out of Syria, it was a hell of a story.

Writing for Politico Magazine over the weekend, John Harris noted that Mayo Pete's "teacher’s-pet glibness and implacable careerism" may be desirable traits for many voters. Other voters can't get beyond the big Mayo Pete problem, that no amount of slick p.r. will ever alter: his obvious lack of a soul. Mayo turned 38 yesterday. Mayo goes bad. Some professionalisms advice: "Once you open the jar, keep it tightly sealed in the fridge when not in use.

This will be exposing typical U.S.-regime propaganda. That’s propaganda favoring U.S. imperialism, which actually violates the intentions of America’s Founders, and the spirit of the U.S. Constitution.
Friends, this year the WEF is celebrating its 50th Anniversaries. Forty-nine (49) of the insanely pompous – and every year more – WEF events took place in Davos, Switzerland. Just one, in 2002, after 9/11, was moved to New York City, paradoxically for ‘security reasons’ they said – the logic of such a move was as ludicrous as the WEF[Read More...]

Billions of US tax-payers’ money will continue to be funneled into Israel in the next fiscal year, and for many years in the foreseeable future. Republican and Democratic Senators have recently achieved just that, passing a bill aimed at providing Israel with $3.3 billion in annual aid. The Bill, co-sponsored by Democratic Senator, Chris Coons and Republican Senator, Marco Rubio,[Read More...]
The public demands the truth and is willing to accept dishonest exaggerations.

It has achieved a[Read More...]

If convicting innocent men of rape is not bad enough, exculpating women convicted of murder on compelling evidence is no better if not worse, yet that is the mission of the misnamed Centre For Women’s Justice. Although this pernicious organisation has had charitable status since only 2016, it has been around a lot longer than that as Justice For Women, with which it is synonymous. Set up by the lawyer Harriet Wistrich and her lover Julie Bindel, its first big win came in 1995 when it secured the release of Emma Humphreys.
If there is one thing you are not allowed to do while mingling with the technocrats in Switzerland during the annual Davos Economic Summit is criticism Malthusianism (the cynical belief that mankind must adapt to nature’s limits rather than make creative discoveries). If one truly wishes to be seen as a complete pariah when in the company of Davos oligarchs, simply add a defense of sovereign nation states, protective tariffs and human creative reason to your speech and you are sure to receive about as much hate as any statesman could ever expect in a lifetime.

Making Sense of the Impeachment Charges
Paul Craig Roberts
Prior to the impeachment of Trump, not by Congress as presstitutes report but by self-interested House Democrats, during the entirety of US history there have been only two attempts to impeach a president—Andrew Johnson in 1868 and 130 years later Bill Clinton in 1998.
Almost all Western politicians pay at least lip service to feminist ideology because few if any recognise its toxicity. In Britain especially, the insane dogma of feminism has had a pernicious influence on both social policy and the law. And it continues to do so.
An in-depth discussion of this matter would take us far afield, so three examples in the public eye will suffice: the contrived gender pay gap, dishonesty about rape, and ongoing attempts to exculpate women convicted of murdering men on the clearest evidence.

The International Court of Justice held hearings in December 2019 in a new case filed by The Gambia accusing Myanmar of genocide against the Rohingya people. Aung San Suu Kyi, Myanmar’s civilian leader, defended her country in the hearings. Now, the court is expected to issue a ruling on emergency measures in the case on Jan. 23, 2020.
First Warren, then Biden, and now Hillary Clinton slam Sanders over his strengths, classic swiftboating that demonstrates contempt for voters….--ruthless partisan Mitch McConnell says he has votes to support his rules for a trial that is an endurance contest for senators and the public, with 12-hour sessions starting at 1pm
--like Trump’s blustering tweets, the defense team attacks the process and ignores the evidence, led by world-class hypocrites Dershowitz and Starr
The United States is an empire in decline.... And it is fast approaching a horrific economic slowdown that in fact could be a full blown Depression which will make the "Great Depression" of the 1930's look like a cake walk..... It is a fact that the US is now a nation with un-payable debt and where its citizens are now much lesser off than in previous generations.... American cities are shadows of their former greatness, where their infrastructure is in a woeful state of disrepair, and where homeless citizens are now in every increasing numbers....

Yesterday, a former engineer and ballistics expert with the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) delivered testimony via video link to an audience at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), accusing the chemical weapons watchdog of intentionally burying exculpatory evidence from its Fact Finding Mission (FFM) report – evidence which would have exonerated the Syrian government in an alleged chemical weapons incident in Douma, Syria, in April 7, 2018.
