Argentina’s cancellation of a friendly against Israel because of Israeli attempts to exploit the match politically is likely to reverberate far beyond the world of soccer and spotlights the risks of Israeli efforts to persuade the international community to recognize Jerusalem as its capital.

I was truly amazed to see so much opposition to wind farms, a necessary and desirable part of any renewable energy future. Scientist Carl Safina questioned whether this is the right way to go.

India is a nation of BROKEN PEOPLE who were made the prisoners of the Caste System.

They were robbed off their self-respect and honor. The caste system ghettoized the Indian[Read More...]

(OD Op-ed) — “Microdosing” on psychedelic substances like LSD—ingesting just enough to heighten cognitive faculties, enhance creativity, improve concentration and alleviate depression—is currently back in vogue among people not normally associated with anything remotely ‘countercultural’ in the USA. The term psychedelic was coined in 1958 by British psychiatrist Humphrey Osmond and is derived from the Greek words psyche (“soul, mind”) and delein(“to manifest”), hence “soul-manifesting,” […]

I am still amazed that the majority of the American people are not even aware that they are being screwed royally by their own government due to several outrageous expenditures... I noted over a week ago about how the US Government just approved the 2019 US Military Budget which is slated to waste some 717 BILLION DOLLARS for military hardware and illegal US wars world wide, and to me that alone is so appalling...

After a lengthy investigation, Amnesty International has just released a study finding that the US-led attack on Raqqa in Syria was so devastating to civilians and to the infrastructure that it may in fact constitute a war crime. Some have compared it to Dresden. And the irony is that after destroying the city to rid it of ISIS, the US turned a blind eye as hundreds of ISIS fighters escaped with their families…and their weapons!

Context to the Gaza Massacres that the media will not report upon.
Journalist Robert Inlakesh explains what happened in Gaza, including the murder of 21 yr old nurse Razan Al-Najar. Mainstream talking points debunked with logic, history and the obvious truth. Watch:
Iran has opted not to wait for further unfriendly steps by Washington in response to its nuclear deal and the Iranian presence in Syria, fully comprehending that the USA is preparing for military action against the Islamic Republic of Iran and are simply buying time by creating an international coalition to initiate this action and strangling Tehran in the process. This time around Iran struck the first blow against the Trump administration.

In over 10 years of writing articles at this blog, one of my major pet peeves has been the continuing LIE that this planet is somehow "overheating" and that we must do something to 'save the planet from ourselves'... I have always known that the concept of man caused "global warming" or what the criminal fraudsters behind that lie eventually morphed it into "climate change" is utter nonsense..
