The Culture Behind School Shootings
What remains astounding about America is the persecution complex we have. We still play the victim. And amazingly we believe it. These school shooters are no different. We believe we can take whatever we want.

The US has broken yet another agreement, this time its agreement not to impose trade tariffs on China.
The decision to employ further tariffs right after abating the escalating situation that was brewing between the US isn’t the most tactful and wise decision to make.
It inevitably means a response by China, to be perceived as a violation of America’s agreement together with countermeasure tariffs imposed by China on US exports.
The Global Times reports:
The prompt responses from Western governments calling for criminal proceedings against Moscow are further indication that the whole effort is an orchestrated campaign to frame-up Russia.
As the role of a well-connected group of British and U.S. intelligence agents begins to emerge, new suspicions are growing about what hand they may have had in weaving the Russia-gate story, as Daniel Lazare explains. By Daniel Lazare Special…Read more →
Viktor Orban, the newly reelected President of Hungary, ran on a platform of curtailing the migrant influx into Hungary and opposing the EU’s plan to relocate migrants all over the bloc, including Hungary.
So he proposed legislation, which was later passed into law, that considered levying a 25% tax on foreign contributions to NGOs, although that aspect of the bill was later scrapped.
The newest addition to the ‘Stop Soros’ package is offering to jail NGOs which help position migrants inside Hungary.
With steel and aluminum tariff excemptions set to expire, Europeans continue to wonder why Trump is applying tariffs on them over claims of national security, as Europe presents no security threat to America.
They also wonder why these tariffs are being applied to them, and not just China, who is allegedly engaging in unfair business practices, a subject on which both the EU and the US agree.
After shunning the prospect of a Bulgarian Stream pipeline going through Bulgaria back in 2014 and a new nuclear plan in 2012 following a visit from Senator McCain and residual Western pressure to abandon the projects, Bulgarian President Rumen Radev travelled to Moscow last week to plead with Russian President Vladimir Putin and his energy ministers to resume the project to construct the nuclear plan and a gas hub in Bulgaria.
The coalition of the US, UK and France are establishing new military bases throughout Northern Syria in support of its Kurdish-majority proxy army, angering nearby Turkey and cementing the coalition’s hold over Syria’s most oil rich region. (TIM) — Despite the fact that President Trump recently considered withdrawing U.S. forces from Syria, the United States— along with […]
In another action which could serve as yet another issue with the North Korea peace talks apparently arranged for the 12th of June in Singapore, the US NAVY is conducting ‘Freedom of Navigation’ patrols in the South China Sea within the territorial waters around the Parcels, which, over the weekend, led to China to mobilizing jets and ships to ward off the US military’s presence. However, US Defense Secretary Jim Mattis has declared that these patrols will continue, whether China likes it not.
(ANTIWAR.COM) — Most Americans would oppose any Trump Administration support for an International Criminal Court investigation into Israel’s use of lethal force against Palestinian protesters on May 14. This is because they either never heard about the massacre or received slanted coverage. Thousands of Palestinian protesters in Gaza gathered in May near a “no-go” zone along an Israeli-built separation […]
(CD) — As President Donald Trump continues to wage war on journalism with “violent anti-press rhetoric,” the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) published a scathing analysis on Tuesday arguing that the Democratic National Committee’s recent lawsuit against WikiLeaks could set the stage for even more alarming attacks on press freedom by empowering the U.S. government to penalize media outlets […]
Despite Trump’s best efforts to isolate Iran through the imposition of sanctions both on Iran and any government or business doing commerce with Iran, its partners in the JCPOA, which Trump unilaterally withdrew the US from a few weeks ago, are committed to preserving both the nuclear accord and their business ties with Iran.
The results of over 1,000 polling stations were tossed after a check into irregularities.

The Ukrainian government has stretched the truth beyond credibility on more than one occasion: those snipers in the Maiden who started firing on both sides during the “revolution” turned out not to have been soldiers loyal to the Yanukovich regime.

Le nombre de victimes des guerres américaines depuis le 11 septembre 2001 n’a pratiquement pas été comptabilisé, mais faire face à l’ampleur réelle des crimes commis demeure un impératif moral, politique et juridique urgent, affirme Nicolas J.S. Davies, dans la deuxième partie de sa publication.
On 20 February, I embarked on a global book tour that has, thus far, taken me to eight nations.

But, interacting … Continue reading "8 Things I learned about Palestine While Touring 8 Western Nations"

Is Señor Trumpanzee going to install a boxing ring in front of his desk in the Oval Office. Like he's always said, his style of management includes having his employees fight with each other. Collegiality is not a trait is encourages. Back-stabbing is. He's a sick cookie... always has been. But what would you expect from someone whose father was a KKK thug and whose grandfather ran a whorehouse?
Alors qu’Israël a tué de sang froid plus de 50 Palestiniens qui manifestaient contre la décision de transfert de l’ambassade américaine lundi, Joe Lauria affirme que les médias américains n’ont pas relaté précisément les événements qui ont eu lieu à Gaza ; une fois de plus, les médias US se sont contentés de protéger la ligne gouvernementale.

Curt Mills explains who Fred Fleitz is and why it matters that he has been hired as John Bolton’s chief of staff on the National Security Council:
But Fleitz’s hiring signals three developments clearly: Bolton’s propensity to tap hardline loyalists; Bolton’s readiness to associate with Iran and North Korean regime change advocates; and Bolton’s assiduous staffing of Russia investigation critics.

Governor?9 or 10 years ago, Gavin Newsom, Mayor or ex-Mayor of San Francisco, invited a gaggle of Los Angeles political bloggers to meet him in a rented conference room of a fancy West Hollywood hotel. I had the impression everyone was impressed besides me-- and even I was a little impressed. He was really smart and was able to speak way more intelligently than most politicians can on every single subject every blogger threw at him.

In the old days, America’s top spies would complete their tenures at the CIA or one of the other Washington puzzle palaces and segue to more ordinary pursuits. Some wrote their memoirs. One ran for president. Another died a few months after surrendering his post. But today’s national-security establishment retiree has a different game plan. After so many years of brawling in the shadows, he yearns for a second, lucrative career in the public eye. He takes a crash course in speaking in soundbites, refreshes his wardrobe and signs a TV news contract.

US Commander of the Europe Command, Gen. Curtis M. Scaparrotti, has called for thousands more US troops to “deter Russian aggression” in Europe. He has even suggested that the US troops should be pulled off of counter-terrorism duty and sent to Europe. Meanwhile, the Pentagon announced a massive shipment of military equipment to Europe, including tanks and other tracked vehicles. Do US military officials really believe that Russia is about to invade western Europe? Are we back in the 1940s?
GOP candidates rallying behind Trump read an ABC News headline yesterday. Some are, of course... and some aren't. The line that interested me most, though, was "Republicans appear far more comfortable touting Trump’s leadership than Democrats do arguing against it." Again, some are and some aren't-- on both ends of that statement.
