An important contribution to modern political rhetoric, Jean-Paul Marat’s The Chains of Slavery (1774) is easy to dismiss as a simplistic and formative work in Europe’s climb to the French Revolution. Even “like a fairy tale”, as historian Ernest Belfort Bax called it, this book is a valuable work of political rhetoric and a glimpse into the history of dissent.
Emile Zola published J’accuse on January 13, 1898. His government’s response was very much like our modern French and American governments. They arrested and convicted him of libel for telling the truth. He fled to England and remained there until June of 1899.
I am not sure who has invented those rumors that Cuba is now facing a mortal danger, that it has lost its bearings, and that it could collapse at any moment, after just one lethal visit by US President Barack Obama. The rumors and speculations are snowballing, and in some circles of the North American and European Left, they are already being confused with reality.
I know, admire and love Cuba. It is an exceptionally strong, determined and resilient nation. Reading all the alarming reports, I decided to return and to speak to the Cuban people directly.
Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little children.

Asia Times magazine told us that the big international banks launder $500 billion a year in political bribes.
Do you think this causes problems for those of us who are trying to make a few reasonable requests to various and assorted politicians? Does this perhaps explain why politicians just don’t seem to listen to anyone who does not own a bank or some computer firm that spies on us 24 hours a day 7 days a week?
Do I seem a little bit angry to you?
Good. I have heard it said that anger can be successfully used to change things around us that just seem to be wrong.
Washington’s partial rapprochement with Havana, symbolized by President Barack Obama’s recent visit to Cuba, is more advantageous to the United States than the neighboring country it has ostracized, sanctioned and subverted for over five decades.
Patrick Henningsen of 21st Century Wire invited me on the Sunday Wire to discuss the steering and planning committees of the global order, and in particular the Atlanticist establishment. We cover the fake humanitarian agenda, organizational cover, how RAND shaped the new world, as well as the green/climate scam. From there, we cover the 28 pages of the 9/11 report as a red herring distraction and how Trump and the political theatre is shaping up. A killer interview you must hear!
We have to create culture, don’t watch TV, don’t read magazines, don’t even listen to NPR. Create your own roadshow. The nexus of space and time where you are now is the most immediate sector of your universe, and if you’re worrying about Michael Jackson or Bill Clinton or somebody else, then you are disempowered, you’re giving it all away to icons, icons which are maintained by an electronic media so that you want to dress like X or have lips like Y. This is shit-brained, this kind of thinking.
Enough weeping! Latin America has wept incessantly, continuously, for years, decades and centuries. Its people robbed of everything since the days of Columbus, since Potosi. Tens of millions, perhaps hundreds of millions have been slaughtered here, in the last five centuries; first by the conquerors, then by their descendants and serfs, and finally by the Empire of Lies as well as the treasonous local ‘elites’.
Enough weeping, comrades! It is time to use force.
Consider these 3 quotes from Canadian billionaire Rob Kirby who buys and sells gold by the ton.
America is not run by Americans anymore.
Historically, when banks have nothing else they can do, they take us to war.
American dollars held overseas will be repatriated which will trigger Stagflation and then Hyperinflation.
