By John Loretz | IPPNW | July 13, 2018 The US conducted 105 atmospheric and underwater tests at its Pacific Ocean proving ground from 1946-1962. Massive amounts of radioactive fallout from those tests spread across the Pacific, causing severe health effects that have continued to this day. One of the best-known incidents from this reckless […]

By Hunter DeRensis • Unz Review • July 12, 2018 An article written by Jonathan Chait of New York Magazine has been making the rounds of the Twitterverse since its publication Monday. Described by former CIA officer and anti-Trump 2016 presidential candidate Evan McMullin as “the best summary and assessment of publicly known facts regarding […]
A big breakthrough came when she began giving product away. While her facial creams worked wonders, they did not always drive demand. So she’d sell lipstick or a fragrance, and include a small sample of the cream. Thus began “gift with purchase.” The giants of the industry let her know she would never succeed, as she was “giving away everything.” Estée Lauder gift bags began to appear at charity ball after charity ball. Eventually, all of her “wiser” competitors were to adopt the “gift with purchase” pattern.
Señor imbecile, illegitimate fake "president" Trumpanzee is, as the Washington Post noted yesterday, "remaking the global trade order without significant political resistance or penalty, unchecked by a largely compliant Congress and bolstered by the loyalty of his supporters-- even those [pathetic, self-destructive morons] likely to be hurt by his burgeoning global trade war.
As Shakespeare almost said in Hamlet, “Alas poor Boris! I knew him, Horatio: a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy. He hath borne me on his back a thousand times, and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is!”
(MEMO) — A new poll published by the Arab Centre for Research and Policy Studies has revealed that 75 per cent of Arabs see Israel and the United States as the biggest threats to national security. The Arab Opinion Index surveyed over 18,000 individuals in 11 Arab countries, including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, Jordan, Palestine, Lebanon, Egypt, Sudan, Tunisia, […]
By Robert Roth • Unz Review • July 12, 2018 I disagree with President Donald Trump about practically everything. With two exceptions. First, Trump said it from Day One: “Getting along with Russia and China and with everybody is a very good thing. It’s good for the world, it’s good for the U.S.” He said […]
In this classic Corbett Report podcast from 2008, Indira Singh discusses Ptech, the company with numerous investors and managers with direct links to terrorist financing. Ptech's clients included the CIA, FBI, the White House, the Department of Energy, the Air Force, the Navy, the FAA, IBM and Enron...Yet Singh learnt they were a CIA front company and their software could gain control of the most sensitive computer systems in the country.
By Aidan O’Brien | CounterPunch |July 13, 2018 Ireland’s oldest university – Trinity College Dublin – gave Hillary Clinton an honorary doctorate in late June. It was one big love in. Clinton was paraded and praised like a people’s champion. And in return Clinton fawned over Dublin’s cutting edge liberal politics. A Trinity College professor […]
(CD) — “The Ego has landed” in the United Kingdom, and the Trump Baby has taken flight. As U.S. President Donald Trump made clear just how offended and “unwelcome” the 20-foot-tall blimp depicting him as a frustrated, diapered infant grasping a cell phone made him feel upon arriving in Britain for his first official visit, demonstrators let […]
The bottom line is that even trivial pro-growth reforms are worth the effort—even if it takes a few years for the growth to materialize or if the growth only lasts for a limited period of time.
By Federico PIERACCINI | Strategic Culture Foundation | 13.07.2018 The announced meeting between Trump and Putin has already produced a good result by revealing the hypocrisy of the media and politicians. The meeting has been branded as the greatest danger to humanity, according to the Western globalist elite, because of the danger that “peace could break […]
Peter Strzok appeared before the House Judiciary Committee to testify about his part in regards to the improper handling of the Hillary Clinton e-mail investigation and Robert Mueller’s RussiaGate investigation. The hearing was so contentious and partisan that it stalled at this point for quite a while.
Nigel Farage, former head of the pro-Brexit UK Independent Party, said that Trump dropped a bombshell by criticizing UK Prime Minister Theresa May's soft Brexit plan, stating that "this was not the Brexit that the people voted for." Theresa May's plan would make the UK subject to European court, lack of control over their own borders and it would make a trade deal between the UK and US virtually impossible. May faces being removed from office. [...]
Let’s examine an iPhone 7 a little more closely to see how much value China is actually getting.
Start with the most valuable components that make up an iPhone: the touch screen display, memory chips, microprocessors and so on. They come from a mix of U.S., Japanese, Korean and Taiwanese companies, such as Intel, Sony, Samsung, and Foxconn. Almost none of them are manufactured in China. Apple buys the components and has them shipped to China; then they leave China inside an iPhone.
The salacious “Trump Dossier” that was spread as an amazing example of “fake news” being treated as real, received a further blow to its own credibility by none other than FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok on Thursday in the House Judiciary Committee hearing. Fox News notes that Mr.
Strzok admitted that Bruce Ohr, a high-level DOJ official, married to Nellie Ohr who worked for Fusion GPS, served as a conduit between Fusion GPS, an opposition research firm, and the FBI. Fusion GPS had been hired and paid by the Hillary Clinton campaign. [...]
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and mercenary forces operating under its command have carried out widespread forced disappearances, torture and murder of Yemenis suspected of opposing the more than three-year-old intervention by the oil-rich Gulf state in alliance with Saudi Arabia and Washington. This is the conclusion drawn by the human rights group Amnesty International after interviewing at least 75[Read More...]
Farmers and environmentalists across Tamil Nadu are protesting against the proposed 277-km eight lane Chennai-Salem highway, a Rs. 10,000 crore project. Authorities say the green corridor project would uproot around six thousand trees. However, environmentalists claim the loss would be much more, with at least 3 lakh trees being uprooted and hundreds of lakes and water bodies that would be[Read More...]
The expulsion of two Russian diplomats from Greece is unfounded and could seriously damage bilateral relations, according to the Russian Foreign Ministry.
"Washington… is behind the anti-Russian decision of the government of Greece," the foreign ministry said in a statement.
Sagarika Ghosh congratulated poet Javed Akhtar and Shabana Azmi for being the voices of progressive democratic liberal Muslims, (without trying to be Sarkari tokens for Hindu Rashtra), lighting the path for Indian Muslims and adding as if an afterthought, in fact for all citizens. Someone countered; Javed Akhtar and Shabana Azmi can’t be taken as representative Muslims for they have[Read More...]
This is really getting personal. The Orange Orangutan made two moves this month that, if successful, will mean that I can’t see a doctor when I’m sick. Act One is Trump’s response to a frivolous lawsuit filed by the Texas Attorney General, and a few others who can’t stand the idea that sick people might get the care they[Read More...]
Twenty-eight-year-old, self-proclaimed “democratic socialist” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently upset ten-term Democratic congressman Joe Crowley in the Bronx. Ocasio-Cortez was an immediate media sensation. The New York Times called her “an instant political rock star.” Appearing on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert she was asked, through a series of softball questions, to explain her agenda and ideology.
Monika and Alfred Schaefer are now entering the third week of their so called "trial" in Germany on the ridiculous charges of "inciting hate" and "Holocaust denial"...... I have of course put up every update that I have received so far concerning this farcical kangaroo trial thanks to the efforts of Lady Michel Renouf who is in attendance for this fiasco.....

Donald Trump’s bluster at the NATO summit only has to do with money, not whether the alliance serves any genuine security purpose, says Jonathan Marshall.
The cynical break-up of the PDP-BJP coalition government in Jammu and Kashmir by BJP without prior notice in Jammu and Kashmir is a clear evidence of its plans to continue with the policy of “no dialogue” and harsh suppression of all forms of protest. The policy that Modi government has been following is a combination of (a) harsh crackdowns on[Read More...]
Only one person has been held accountable. To this day, Greenpeace refuses to identify the full list of culprits.
The turmoil caused this week by US President Trump among NATO allies is approaching surreal. Time to indulge in some satire…
സത്യം പറഞ്ഞാൽ അഭിമന്യു എന്ന വിദ്യാർത്ഥിയുടെ ഞെട്ടിക്കുന്ന കൊലപാതകത്തിനു ശേഷം ആ ചെറുപ്പക്കാരൻറെ മാതാവിൻറെ വിലാപം മാത്രമാണ് ഇപ്പോഴും മുഴങ്ങിക്കേൾക്കുന്നത്. ആ ശബ്ദം മനസ്സിൽ നിന്ന് മായുന്നതേയില്ല. അതുകൊണ്ട് ഹാദിയാകേസ് നടന്ന കാലത്ത് സിപിഎമ്മിൻറെ സൈബർ ബുദ്ധിജീവി-ഗുണ്ടകൾ ഉണ്ടാക്കിയെടുത്ത ആയുധങ്ങൾ അവർ ഫേസ്ബുക്കിലും പുറത്തും പ്രയോഗിക്കുന്നതു കണ്ടിട്ടും പ്രത്യേകിച്ച് ഒന്നും തോന്നിയില്ല.
A media complex so determined to discredit negotiations with North Korea and so unfettered by political-diplomatic reality seriously threatens the ability of the United States to deliver on any agreement with Pyongyang. That means alternative media must make more aggressive efforts to challenge the corporate press’s coverage.
The announced meeting between Trump and Putin has already produced a good result by revealing the hypocrisy of the media and politicians.
The “no food on the plates” breakfast talk that President Donald Trump gave is making a lot of news, on The Duran, and everywhere else. His morning smackdown of NATO was unprecedented. The alliance’s decades-long delinquency of member nations to meet their financial obligations has never been addressed so directly by any American president.
Mr. G. sent along this recent article from RT, and given the timing, I have to wonder just what the heck is going on. […]
The post RT: EARTH NEEDS STRICTER DEFENSES AGAINST EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL BACTERIA appeared first on Giza Death Star.
The hue and cry raised by NATO about Russia, just one country scaring to death the 29 nations protected by the United States, the military giant, sounds more like a joke than serious talk.
What a rotten guest, but then again, that was to be expected. Ahead of his visit to Britain, there was some indignation that US President Donald Trump should even be visiting in the first place. Protesters were readying their assortment of paraphernalia in anticipation. Walls of noise were promised. Trump, on the other hand, was bullish after his NATO performance,[Read More...]
Chinese efforts to woo Saudi Arabia’s ethnic Chinese community highlight the People’s Republic’s effort to avert criticism from the Muslim world of its crackdown in the north-western province of Xinjiang and strengthen relations with the kingdom and Middle Eastern nations. The efforts to woo a community, a significant part of which is of Turkic origin, identifies itself as Turkestani, and[Read More...]
In the middle of April this year, I received an Email with subject line “To Ashish: The IRAQs’ Political Woes Won’t End Without Comprehensive Judicial Reform”. I’d ignored this Email if it was not personalised. I started reading and to my surprise I not only received praise for my previous articles on different human rights issues but also an story from an Iraqi citizen- Thaar Majeed Hassan AL_Taiey. Taking[Read More...]
The first day of the NATO summit is now in the books and while NATO members clearly have some deep differences (US/Germany) what has come out of the summit is that despite all their internal bickering, the outdated and bloated alliance is still united and ready to adopt more robust “measures” aimed against Russia.
The Voice Of Russia by NoahThere he was, Wednesday morning, the Manchurian President, flanked by his coterie of supportive treasonous handmaidens (White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, NATO Ambassador Kay Bailey Hutchison, and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo). Trump sat at a breakfast meeting with the heads of NATO member nations with one goal in mind, berate them and begin the end of NATO.
A giant “Trump Baby” balloon will be flown near the UK Parliament during US President Trump’s visit to London according to BBC.

Dr. Ed interviews Lt. Col. Edward Kennedy. Lt. Col.

Almost half of the children, 46 out of 103, who were five years old or younger and separated from adults at the US border couldn’t be reunited with them because many of the adults were violent criminals, and some of the adults weren’t even the children’s parents. Eleven of the adults have serious criminal histories. [...]
