China’s ‘Digital Dictatorship’… and Ours
China’s “social credit” system is widely viewed as a kind of “digital dictatorship,” where not only does illegal or anti-social behavior result in lower scores and therefore less privileges, but political dissent also earns one lower “social credit” scores. While the anti-China crowd is busy pointing a finger at Beijing for such an authoritarian approach, a similar system is being put in place in the United States. How? Tune in to today’s Ron Paul Liberty Report:

Η απαραίτητη ρήξη με το 4ο Μνημόνιο και η εκλογική πρόταση του ΜέΡΑ25: Συνέντευξη του Γ. Βαρουφάκη, ΤΑ ΝΕΑ, 22/9/2018
Φοβάται τη σημερινή ερημοποίηση της Ελλάδας πιο πολύ από το Grexit. Πιστεύει πως βιώνουμε το 4ο Μνημόνιο της περιόδου 2018-2032, ενόψει ενός 5ου (2032-2060). Θεωρεί πως η πασοκοποίηση του ΣΥΡΙΖΑ έχει ολοκληρωθεί. Και έχει συμπράξει – όπως λέει – για τις ευρωεκλογές σε κοινό μέτωπο με έντεκα κόμματα και κινήματα ανά την Ευρώπη με τον τίτλο Ευρωπαϊκή Ανοιξη. Στον απόηχο της πρότασης του Μπενουά Αμόν πως θα μπορούσε να είναι πρόεδρος της Κομισιόν, ο επικεφαλής του MέΡΑ25 Γιάνης Βαρουφάκης σχολιάζει τη σημερινή πολιτική πραγματικότητα.

European Council crushes Theresa May’s soft Brexit dream (Video)
UK Prime Minister Theresa May hoped that the European Council was ready to see things her way, in terms of proceeding with a soft Brexit, which was essentially no Brexit at all…at least not the hard Brexit that was voted on in a democratic referendum approximately two years ago.
Much to May’s surprise, European Council President Donald Tusk delivered a death blow verdict for May’s Brexit, noting that EU leaders are in full agreement that Chequers plan for Brexit “will not work” because “it risks undermining the single market.” -

Syria is a Lost Cause and America Must Move On
Candidate Donald Trump sounded different from his predecessors. He criticized endless war-making in the Middle East and wanted U.S. forces out of Syria.

How to Spot Misleading Statistics in the Gun Control Debate
Statistics come in all shapes and sizes, so the first thing we need to do is determine which kinds of statistics are relevant to the gun control debate and which are irrelevant. To do this, we need a clear understanding of what the gun control debate is fundamentally about. We can’t separate the relevant from the irrelevant if we aren’t clear about how to frame the issue.

Truth Is Evaporating Before Our Eyes
Does anyone notice?
Paul Craig Roberts
On September 17, I posted my column, “Evidence is no longer a Western value.” I used as an example the blame that has been put on Russia for the shot down Malaysian airliner. No evidence whatsoever exists for the accusation, and massive evidence has been presented that the airliner was shot down by the neonazis that seized power as a result of the Washington-organized coup in Ukraine. -

A world on borrowed time
Current temperature trajectories are on par with or exceed the IPCC’s dangerous projections (Figure 1). Acting as the lungs of the biosphere, over tens of millions of years the atmosphere developed an oxygen-rich carbon-low composition, allowing the flourishing of mammals. The anthropogenic release to the atmosphere to date of more than 600 Gigaton of carbon (GtC) is reversing this trend,[Read More...]
