Brexit Will Be What Britain Makes It
As the divorce between Britain and the European Union moves closer to its final deadline of March 2019, a number of observations can be made regarding the fallout. The overly optimistic “Leavers” and the forcefully hysterical “Remainers” are both wrong. For the most part, we cannot know what the future brings.

Electricity from Plants — An Off-the-Grid Way of Lighting Your Room, a Street, a Park

The Most Basic Freedom Is the Freedom to Quit
Lots of words have been spent on the problem of school bullying and related problems such as students’ general unhappiness, boredom, and cynicism in school. Nobody has found a way to solve these problems, and nobody ever will until we grant children the freedom to quit. The only way to solve these problems, ultimately, is to do away with the coercion.

By Philip Giraldi | American Herald Tribune | February 12, 2018 How many Americans are aware that every two years the United States military engages in large scale exercises with the Israeli Defense Forces that simulate wars against Israel’s neighbors? Three thousand American soldiers are in Israel right now involved in maneuvers that are focused […]

Dave Chappelle Understands Free Trade Better Than Most Politicians
Dave Chappelle is a great comedian. But he may be an even better economist. He certainly understands free trade a lot better than some of the people who are currently in charge of directing U.S. trade policy.
In a recent comedy routine, Chappelle provided a succinct explanation of why it makes more sense for the United States to import some goods from China rather than try to pursue a protectionist trade policy aimed at producing everything domestically. -
Syria Downed Israeli Jet as Conflict Escalates
Israel claims that a base in Syria launched a drone into its territory and it responded by sending an Israeli F-16 aircraft into Syria, which was shot down. In a dramatic escalation, Israel carried out major air raids against Syria on Saturday, including what it says are Iranian military targets. Israel now is preparing for war in the north, along the Syrian border. [...]

$300-Billion Pork-Barrel Spending Bill Passed by Republicans and Democrats
US Congress: A two-year $300-billion spending bill was passed with support from Republicans and Democrats alike. It was a classic pork-barrel bill in which influential politicians and corporate lobbyists received funding for their favorite projects - without opposition or discussion. The bill was 652 pages long and passed eighteen-hours after submission. Obviously, no one read the entire bill - only those portions that generated funding for their own purposes.

When the FBI Used FISA to Spy on Carter Page as A Suspected Russian Agent, It Knew Better Because He Had Been an FBI Employee Targeting the Russians

Therefore, when the FBI obtained the FISA warrant against Page, it was aware that he was not a Russian agent. [...]

UK: College Teacher Fired and Reported to Government Counter-Terrorism Unit for Expressing Christian Views
A government-funded college in Bristol, England, fired a Christian teacher after a student reported that he was offended by her comments.

US Defense Secretary Mattis Admits There Is No Evidence Assad Used Sarin Gas on Syrian People
Defense Secretary Jim Mattis has admitted the US has no evidence that Syrian President Assad used sarin nerve gas against his own people, and mainstream media failed to report this important statement. Mattis then accused Assad of using chlorine gas to attack his own people. [To our knowledge, no one has asked him if there is any evidence of that, either. We doubt that there is inasmuch as doing so would be of no advantage to Assad and, in fact, just the contrary. The only ones who benefit from such attacks are Assad's enemies.

When Dostoevsky Faced a Firing Squad
Those opposed to the death penalty are correct to point out the inherent injustice in the possibility of sentencing an innocent person to death and to cite the grossly expensive nature of capital punishment. At the same time, what should not be left aside in this conversation is the mental toll exacted on the individual who is sentenced to death by the state. Thankfully, for those of us lucky enough to be unacquainted with the death penalty, we need not rely on the words of any lesser a writer than Dostoevsky himself.

The Toughest House Race In Texas
The Texas primaries are less than a month away-- March 6. And the races are crowded. Or at least the seats that look the most flippable are crowded, even after lots of candidates have dropped out. Texas has 36 congressional districts. The very last one, TX-36, southeast Texas in the Houston area, is so red, that the DCCC isn't even contesting it.

How Donald Trump Plans to Enlist Fossil Fuels in the Struggle for Global Dominance
The new U.S. energy policy of the Trump era is, in some ways, the oldest energy policy on Earth.

What makes the Trumpian variant — the unfettered exploitation of America’s fossil-fuel reserves — unique[Read More...]

Ιδρύουμε το νέο κόμμα του DiEM25 στην Ελλάδα. Το κόμμα των υπεύθυνα ανυκάπουων, των ελλήνων ευρωπαϊστών. Θα συμμετάσχεις;
Το 2015, για πέντε μήνες, η Ευρώπη όλη μύρισε Ελληνική Άνοιξη. Η σιδηρόφρακτη ευρωπαϊκή και ελληνική ολιγαρχία όμως, όπως αναμενόταν, αντέδρασαν πραξικοπηματικά. Δυστυχώς, η ηγεσία απεδείχθη ανεπαρκής. Η πλειοψηφία των ελλήνων λοιδωρήθηκε επειδή τόλμησε να τους πει «Όχι». Η χρεοδουλοπαροικία της χώρας βάθυνε. Ο χειμώνας του εθνικισμού, του Brexit, της απολυταρχίας, της ξενοφοβίας, της παράλυσης σκέπασε την Ευρώπη.
Κι όμως, το πνεύμα της Ελληνικής Άνοιξης ζει. Το διατήρησε ζωντανό το DiEM25 μεταλαμπαδεύοντάς το σε ολόκληρη την Ευρώπη.

Mainstream media on the Middle East – neither objective nor neutral
The court case against 17-year old Ahed Tamimi, the Palestinian girl that slapped an Israeli soldier in the face on December 15, 2017, is expected to start on Tuesday, February 13.
Maybe. The judge of the military tribunal has postponed the case so many times ‘for further inquiry’ that another delay is very likely.
One might wonder what further inquiry is needed when everything the girl did was videotaped and has since gone viral, sparking worldwide outrage.
December 15 was not the first time Ahed Tamimi confronted the Israeli occupation forces. -

Bibi Netanyahu’s Very Bad Idea. Risk WW III To Avoid Jail
Haaretz recently summed up Israeli Prime Minister’s legal woes. His wife will soon be arrested for a $110,000 fraud. Even his son is under possible indictment for accepting illegal gifts. In one case Thyssen Krupp’s man in Israel has already accepted a plea bargain which includes one year in jail. That case will take down Netanyahu’s key supporters within the government. And then are three other cases that could put Netanyahu in jail. The Israeli Attorney General might be a member of the cabinet but he is serious about these forthcoming indictments.

Why Democrats Are Obsessed with Russia
The issue of Russia’s alleged interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election has intensified an already deep and bitter partisan divide. Democrats and the broader progressive community argue that a hostile nation worked to defeat Hillary Clinton and install a president that Moscow could influence, perhaps even control.
