On Monday, the government of Punjab, Pakistan’s largest province, officially banned children’s dance performances at all public and private schools. The Punjab School Education Department (PSED) announced that the ban will be applied to all school events, including talents shows, parents’ days and teachers’ days.

Excerpted from American Reckoning: The Vietnam War and Our National Identity Americans, including GIs, were losing their once reflexive faith that the U.S. military, with all its skill and firepower, would prevail in Vietnam as it had so often throughout history. Also shattered was the faith that America’s fighting forces were inherently more virtuous than … Continue reading "‘Our Boys’: 50 Years After the My Lai Massacre"
Secretary Tillerson was far from an ideal choice, but his anointed successor at the State Department – Mike Pompeo – may ditch diplomacy all together and start a war! We both attended West Point. That’s where the commonalities end. I’ve been a soldier opposed to (endless) war; he’ll be a statesman opposed to peace. That … Continue reading "Return of the Neo-Cons: Mike Pompeo and the Death of Diplomacy"
When I ask a class of college students how many have heard of My Lai, only a few if any raise their hands, tentatively. Even they are unsure what it was, or where, or when, or who was involved. Why have we forgotten the nadir of the Vietnam War? Is our collective amnesia accidental or … Continue reading "My Lai Amnesia Fifty Years On"
Originally posted at TomDispatch. I’ve long been struck by one strange aspect of the most recent part of the American Century: just how demobilized this country has been in the midst of distant wars that have morphed and spread for almost 17 years. I was born in July 1944 into a fully mobilized country fighting … Continue reading "The Fog of War in America"

Le Programme du Conseil National de la Résistance souvent abrégé en Programme du CNR, et intitulé dans sa première édition « Les Jours Heureux par le C.N.R. »1, est un texte adopté à l’unanimité par le Conseil National de la Résistance français le 15 mars 1944.
Le CNR regroupait :
(ZHE) — Confirming the “purge rumblings” reported earlier, moments ago the Washington Post reported that President Trump has decided to fire H.R. McMaster as his national security adviser, delivering the latest jolt to the senior ranks of his administration. This latest termination from Trump’s administration makes it 25 departures in Trump’s first 419 days, or on average one every 17 days. […]

The Saker
The Saker explains the complete collapse of Western civilization. It is without question that the Western World is on its way out. The only question is whether the West will take the rest of the world with it.
“An Empire built (and maintained) on lies, accepted on the basis of ignorance, justified by hypocrisy and energized by hysterics. This is what the “Western world” stands for.”

Isaac at Illuminati Watcher invited me on to discuss the reality behind Mk Ultra – which will make up a significant portion of my new book, Esoteric Hollywood 2, as well as my part in the Sean Stone – Oliver Stone documentary, Hollywood, D.C., which aired on RT recently. We cover the more bizarre aspects of MK Ultra like super soldiers and transhumanism and how both do arise from the historic MK programs. We also cover the real sex espionage aspects of Red Sparrow, while also dissecting it as propaganda.
Lies Can Lead To War

Notice that the governments of the US, UK, France, and Germany did not require any evidence to decide that the Russian government used military-grade nerve gas to attack two people on an English park bench and a UK policeman. It makes no sense. There is no Russian motive. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/48963.htm

Yesterday after months of careful vetting, Blue America endorsed the progressive candidate in the CO-06 race, Levi Tillemann. I was struck by one of the points on his website about making banksters-- not just bank shareholders-- pay for bank criminality. "[W]e need to ensure," he wrote, "that ALL Americans are treated equally under the law. This includes white collar criminals from powerful banks on Wall Street.
The Saker • Unz Review • March 15, 2018 Assuming mankind finds a way not to destroy itself in the near future and assuming that there will still be historians in the 22nd or 23rd centuries, I bet you that they will look at the AngloZionist Empire and see the four following characteristics as some […]
(ANTIMEDIA Op-ed) — For most empathetic humans, Syria represents everything that is wrong with humanity. This Thursday, the country’s “civil war” hit its seven-year anniversary, but the violence engulfing the country shows no signs of stopping. However, one glaring problem in the conflict is that Syria means different things to different people. For the U.S. government and its enthusiasts, […]
I really need to clear some of my many bookmarked news articles- All topical. All related to events that are regularly covered here at the blog. And you know what? There's still more to post, but for now, plenty below.
The Chinese used to have a reputation for being the land of “cheap imitations”, ranging from the Pear phone to the X-Boy video game console to the Kine pool sliders… to the advanced, fifth-generation fighter aircraft.
Wait a second… Strike that last one.
China really has made its own fifth-generation fighter airplane. It is the Chengdu J-20A, it’s a masterpiece, and it is absolutely no knockoff.
https://southfront.org/syrian-war-report-march-15-2018-militant-advance… On March 14, ten so-called “moderate opposition” groups launched a large-scale attack on positions of the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) in northern Hama and captured the villages of al-Hamamiyat

Delivered to The Israel Lobby and American Policy 2018 conference March 2, 2018 at the National Press Club
The Israel Lobby and American Policy conference was solely sponsored by the American Educational Trust, publisher of the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, and the Institute for Research: Middle Eastern Policy (IRmep). This is a rush transcript.
After seven years of delays, Israel's governing parties agreed the final terms of controversial new legislation that would define Israel exclusively as "the nation-state of the Jewish people". It effectively blocks any chance for Israel's large Palestinian minority - one in five of the population - to reform Israel in the future into a normal, Western-style democracy.
On 15 March, the United Kingdom, together with allies Germany, France and the United States, issued a collective statement regarding the allegation that the assassination attempt on ex-spy Sergey Skripal and his daughter Yulia were orchestrated by agencies in the Russian Federation:
(ANTIMEDIA) Florida — The Broward County Sheriff’s Office released video Thursday of one of its police officers failing to enter a building at Stoneman Douglas high school as the shooting was unfolding. The footage was released following a lawsuit filed by news outlets seeking video surveillance. Though the sheriff’s office and the school fought against its release, citing public records law […]
You think what the DCCC has done-- is doing-- in undermining Laura Moser is unique? It isn't. It's been fairly standard operating procedure since 2006 when Rahm Emanuel and Steny Hoyer decided they should determine who Democratic nominees should be, not local Democratic voters.
I have been watching the war in Syria very closely these last few days, as most everyone in the alternative media has been as well.... The good guys, the Syrian government forces (SAA) along with their Russian and Arabic allies, have been concentrating their efforts on the final conquering of the East Ghouta pocket of US backed "Al Qaeda" resistance, and are now pushing into the urban stronghold areas within the pocket itself advancing from the east...
Recently, I spoke with Michael Welch of Global Research News Hour, for his episode, “Truth and Lies of the Syrian Conflict”.
Tuesday's post, It’s Impossible to Overstate How Terrible Mike Pompeo Is, laid out the view that Trump's firing of Rex Tillerson represents a major shift toward war footing for the Trump administration, with Iran the specific target. This pivot was easily predictable, and I wrote numerous articles doing just that during 2017. Nevertheless, forecasting it and then seeing the disastrous pieces being moved into place are two different things.
(TT) — In 2012, Colorado sparked a movement when it voted to legalize medical marijuana. Now, the state is in the spotlight again — but this time, for its potential decision to decriminalize psilocybin, or “magic mushrooms.” The initiative is being led by the group Denver for Psilocybin. Soon, they may receive the all-clear to gather signatures […]
(ANTIMEDIA) — China is in the process of building a fleet of giant drones for the sea, Forbes reports. According to Forbes, China is working on creating remote-controlled “ghosts ships” that would send containers around the world and even work for the Chinese navy. Right now, China ranks as the third-largest marine shipping company in the world, […]
"Farms that use a greater volume of herbicide have more resistance"
Ever since the Arab Spring, migration from Africa to Europe has increased and so has skepticism towards Africans, in particular. This has empowered anti-immigration activists in both Europe and the United States who argue for closing down borders. There are, however, solutions that both sides of this argument could actually get behind.
(MPN) — Is social media giant Facebook headed for the same ignoble fate as its now-extinct predecessors, Friendster and MySpace? The prospect of the reigning social media champ’s demise shouldn’t be exaggerated, but recent data digital market research company eMarketer suggests that the platform’s popularity is reaching a point of stagnation among younger users, as netizens aged 12 to […]
British PM Theresa May claims to have identified the nerve agent ‘Novichok’ as the substance used in an alleged ‘chemical’ attack on retired double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter and Yulia in Salisbury, England. Beyond the hysteria and speculation, what is the real story?
As students walk out of their schools on Wednesday, they should think seriously about whether or not they want to return.
Business Insider reports: full statement (emphasis added) We, the leaders of France, Germany, the United States and the United Kingdom, abhor the attack that took place against Sergei and Yulia
Palm Beach, Florida: Corey Johnson, a 17-year-old Florida youth who converted to Islam, confessed to killing a 13-year-old boy at a sleepover and attacking the host family - in the name of Islam. For more than a year prior to the stabbing, the FBI had known that Johnson was posting violent threats online to a Catholic school in England. The FBI says it planned to arrest Johnson, but just didn't get around to it. [...]
(ZHE) — In the west there is “helicopter money.” In Russia, they do “airplane gold.” Gems, precious metals and diamonds worth hundreds of millions rained over Russia’s coldest region when a Russian plane with ten tons of gold, platinum and diamonds lost a significant part of its cargo upon taking off from an airport in the Russian region […]
The main takeaway from Megan Kelly’s two-hour long interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin is that with Communism gone, the US and Russia are dealing with a clash of civilizations. Not the barbaric east versus a sophisticated west — or even the lumbering grizzly versus the high-flying eagle — but much more importantly in the age of instant annihilation, cooperation versus ‘gotcha’.
Tucker Carlson shows a recent video of two Navy pilots encountering a UFO off the East coast of the US. The Pentagon pretends to be not interested in reports of UFOs flying close to military aircraft. Other government agencies also pretend to not investigate reports. [They do, of course, but they do not want to reveal what they found. That tells us a lot about what it is.] [...]
