Special Report: Is It Time To Prepare For War? From my perspective, the made-for-public Western news copy regarding Ukraine and Russia is childishly slanted and one-sided.

truthinesslessness
truthinesslessness Nothing is stable, nothing is straightforward, everything is fixed, and nothing is fixed. O nation of busboys and WalMart greeters, awake and sing! Can an empire founder on sheer credulousness? After last Friday’s jobs report, I think so. For a culture that luxuriates in statistical analysis (and the false idea that if you measure […]
Ukraine, Neocons and Neonazis
Ukraine, Neocons and Neonazis See, by now you would think that anyone who reads that all 31 US banks that were tested have passed the Fed stress test, knows this says absolutely nothing about the banks, but all the more about the test. You would think. But the media try – and succeed – to […]

This is […]

Are Conspiracy Theorists Nuts?
Are Conspiracy Theorists Nuts? Conspiracy Theorists USED TO Be Accepted As Normal Democracy and free market capitalism were founded on conspiracy theories. The Magna Carta, the Constitution and Declaration of Independence and other founding Western documents were based on conspiracy theories. Greek democracy and free market capitalism were also based on conspiracy theories. But those were the bad old days …Things […]
