Caught On Tape: U.S. Test Fires Nuclear ICBM, Warns “We Are Prepared To Use Nuclear Weapons” Less than two years ago, news of Russia test-firing an ICBM just as the east Ukraine civil war was heating up, was sufficient to send the stock market into a brief tailspin.

The Socialist Lie that We have had Always a Growth Economy Since Roosevelt
The Socialist Lie that We have had Always a Growth Economy Since Roosevelt A comment by a reader with a philosophy is interesting and delusional at the same time. “Armstrong chose not to seek any compromise but to put all the blame on government. In principle, that’s got to be an absurd point of view. So […]

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them Important Interview With Julian Assange Assange explains how Washington coerces the world and keeps its citizens under a blanket of deception and disinformation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3HWiydFlJc
Do Americans Live In A False Reality Created By Orchestrated Events?
Do Americans Live In A False Reality Created By Orchestrated Events? Most people who are aware and capable of thought have given up on what is called the “mainstream media.” The presstitutes have destroyed their credibility by helping Washington to lie—“Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction,” “Iranian nukes,” “Assad’s use of chemical weapons,” “Russian invasion […]
How Far Will The U.S. Go If Turkey Invades Syria?
How Far Will The U.S. Go If Turkey Invades Syria?

Profits for the Economic Club: How US Military Spending Benefits the Few
Profits for the Economic Club: How US Military Spending Benefits the Few In his January 2016 State of the Union Address, President Obama smugly declared that “We spend more on our military than the next eight nations combined,” which was a startling and repulsive boast. What is less surprising is the Pentagon’s decision to refocus military spending, […]
NATO’s Provocative Anti-Russian Moves
NATO’s Provocative Anti-Russian Moves Official Washington’s demonization of Vladimir Putin and the neocon “group think” about “Russian aggression” have fueled a reckless drive to move NATO forces up to Russia’s border, thus heightening risks of nuclear war and not serving real U.S. national interests, writes Jonathan Marshall. Twenty-seven years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, NATO is […]
Take Cover—–Now Comes The Gong Show
Take Cover—–Now Comes The Gong Show It was a bad hair night for the Beltway. Among the roughly 515,000 votes cast in the New Hampshire primaries, about 55% or 280,000 went to Bernie, the Donald and Senator Cruz. That is, the preponderance of Republican, Democrat and independent votes alike went for the anti-establishment candidates. Since the latter are basically […]
Deep State: Inside Washington’s Shadowy Power Elite
Deep State: Inside Washington’s Shadowy Power Elite This “state within a state” hides “mostly in plain sight, and its operators mainly act in the light of day,” says Lofgren, and yet the “Deep State does not consist of the entire government.” “Our plutocracy, whether the hedge fund managers in Greenwich, Connecticut, or the Internet moguls in […]
Red Ponzi Ticking
Red Ponzi Ticking There is something rotten in the state of Denmark. And we are not talking just about the hapless socialist utopia on the Jutland Peninsula——even if it does strip assets from homeless refugees, charge savers 75 basis points for the deposit privilege and allocate nearly 60% of its GDP to the Welfare State and its untoward ministrations. In fact, the […]
Turning Change into Chaos
Turning Change into Chaos Early U.S. presidents warned that foreign entanglements could endanger the Republic, but it turns out that modern U.S. interventions are hazardous to the rest of the world as well, achieving neither democracy nor human rights, while spreading chaos and death, a tragic turn addressed by ex-CIA official Graham E. Fuller. A […]
An Oligarchy Has Broken Our Democracy. It Must Be Dislodged
An Oligarchy Has Broken Our Democracy. It Must Be Dislodged January 18, 2016 “Information Clearing House” – “The Guardian” – Each new election year promises change. We will choose a new president and new representatives in Congress; fresh faces will make their appearances in Washington DC, while old ones disappear. But what about the people who […]
Defeat is Victory
Defeat is Victory John Holcroft On the wall of George Orwell’s Ministry of Truth from his novel 1984 there were three slogans: WAR IS PEACE FREEDOM IS SLAVERY IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH It occurred to me that these apply just a little bit too well to the way the Washington, DC establishment operates.
