How do you define a progressive foreign policy agenda? It's touchy, when you go beyond peace. Want to step on Jewish toes? Try it if you're a politicians and see how quickly you get turned into Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) or Earl Hilliard (D-AL). How about Armenian toes?

About 7 years ago (Yes, it has been that long..) I filed a report about the 1979 Vela spy satellite "incident" where an American Vela spy satellite #6911 apparently recorded the testing of a clandestine joint Israeli/South African nuclear device on the southern Indian Ocean island of Bouvet on September 22nd, 1979. The Vela satellite recorded the "double flash" light form that blast, and consequently caused quite a stir with governments right across the globe.

By Finian CUNNINGHAM | Strategic Culture Foundation | 16.08.2018 The catastrophic bridge collapse in Italy this week has prompted a public outcry over the country’s crumbling infrastructure and how it is putting lives at risk.

“The Cosmos moves within the very life of eternity, and is contained in that very eternity whence all life issues. And for this reason it is impossible that it should at any time come to a stand, or be destroyed, since it is walled in and bound together, so to speak, by eternal life.”

With military operations in the South virtually over, attention inevitably turns to the North and specifically to Idlib province, the last major redoubt of the armed opposition to the Syrian government. A number of other challenges, however, lie ahead besides Idlib before the Syrian government can rest easy.

Brazil is the number 1 country in the world, after the U.S., for translations and postings of FEE literature, reflecting a significant and growing interest in free-market economics in that nation of nearly 210 million people.

By Finian Cunningham | RT | August 16, 2018 The dramatic, and seemingly unstoppable, surge of Taliban offensives across Afghanistan is proof that the US is fast becoming the latest foreign power to succumb to failure in a land known for for being the “graveyard of empires”. But unlike past empires defeated in Afghanistan, the […]
Odds are good that, in any given political argument, your dispute is about relevant facts, not moral positions. (FEE Opinion) — We’ve all been sufficiently frustrated by the gap between the values someone espouses and the policies they support that we’ve gotten into political arguments to help them see their error. Perhaps, if we’re more honest about […]

(CD) — A study of dozens of popular oat-based breakfast foods delivered sobering news this week when almost all of the products examined by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) were found to contain the chemical glyphosate. “We’re very concerned that consumers are eating more glyphosate than they know,” said Scott Faber, vice president of government affairs at […]
Still, if Lowrey really thinks the world would be improved with reduced inequality, the answer is simple: abolish the internet, along with airplanes, cars, phones, and any other technology that shrinks the world each day in a figurative sense. If so, people like Bezos will only be able to serve the lucky few. The U.S. will be much more equal, and the legislated equality will be misery-inducing.

First up, I should fully disclose my viewpoint: Alex Jones and Info Wars are psy-ops – psychological warfare/control operations, conducted primarily on Americans – but also substantially across the Western world. I’ve said this for ages. Which is why I had a mixed reaction to the Info Wars ‘banning’ story that was played out last […]
In what has to be one of the great unmentioned political ironies, it has taken an entire century for the United States to catch up with the world it claims to be leading. And had it not been for the lone independent Senator, Bernie Sanders of Vermont, it would still not have happened, even as the other major twentieth century political movement, fascism, appears for a second round.
According to the Center for American Progress, criminal recidivism reduces annual GDP by $65 billion a year. Moving to a less punitive criminal justice system in which prisoners have access to more educational and job-training opportunities would reduce recidivism, and, by expanding the labor force, boost the economy.

The Digital Fascists
If you can get past Orlov’s denigration of Alex Jones, you will read an excellent explanation of the strict illegality of Facebook/Google, Apple, et. al., disconnecting Alex Jones and many others such as Telesur, Scott Horton, Ron Paul Institute.
The Facebook, et. al. digital fascists are each subject under reigning international law to a lawsuit. We should encourage Alex Jones to bring the lawsuits and break the backs of these fascist organizations that work hand in hand with the US military/security complex.
