What Putin Knows About Flight MH17 / Politics / Russia
By: Mike_Whitney
Putin Knows What Happened to MH17, But He's Not Saying--Yet ....
”We have repeatedly called on all parties to immediately stop the bloodshed and sit down at the negotiating table. We strongly believe that if military action in the East of Ukraine had not been renewed on the 28th of June, this tragedy wouldn’t have happened. However, no one has the right to use this tragedy to pursue their own political aims. Such events should unite and not divide people.”

Will Putin Survive? / Politics / Russia
By: Andrew_McKillop
From Khruschev to Putin
The chief editor of STRATFOR, George Friedman in a strangely eccentric article titled 'Can Putin Survive?' tells us he can't survive, but also says: “And the West no matter how opposed some countries might be to a split with Putin must come to grips with how effective and rational he really is”.

MH17 Crash Next Phase Economic Warfare / Politics / GeoPolitics
By: Raul_I_Meijer
Amidst the heightened media hysteria that expresses itself in claims of an “increasing burden of proof” of Putin and separatist involvement in the MH17 crash, where there is still no proof anywhere to be seen after 5 days, events are taking a sharp left (can’t bring myself to say ‘right’) turn towards a new, next, phase. Which promises to not be pretty. It’s, as we say, on.

Israeli Mainstream Calls for Killing of Palestinian Women and Children / Politics / Israel
By: Global_Research
Jonathan Cook writes: As we watch the horrifying slaughter unfold in Gaza, bear in mind the Israeli psychosis that fuels and justifies it. Here are comments from three rightwing Israelis – two leading politicians and a professor – who very much reflect a strain of mainstream thinking in Israel, one that the international media largely avoids noting.

Beware Of The Flash Mob / Politics / Social Issues
By: Andrew_McKillop
Time Is Counted for the Elites
American writer Charles Johnson in his 1986 short-story collection 'The Sorcerer’s Apprentice: Tales and Conjurations' used different themes to describe the already six-year-long revolution, or so-called revolution of the Reagan-Thatcher duo. Its sociopathic agenda was most brutally stated by Britain's Mrs Margaret Thatcher. She said: “There is no such thing as society”. Only “the markets”.

Can Putin Survive? / Politics / Russia
By: STRATFOR
George Friedman writes: There is a general view that Vladimir Putin governs the Russian Federation as a dictator, that he has defeated and intimidated his opponents and that he has marshaled a powerful threat to surrounding countries. This is a reasonable view, but perhaps it should be re-evaluated in the context of recent events.

Israel Assault on Gaza: A Historic Crime, Nazi Like Final Solution / Politics / Israel
By: Global_Research
Patrick Martin and Barry Grey writes: At least 100 Palestinians were killed Sunday as Israel escalated its savage land, sea and air attack on Gaza. In a single neighborhood on the east side of Gaza City, Shejaiya, Israeli bombs and artillery shells killed at least 62 people and wounded nearly 300 others. Among the dead were 17 women, 14 children and four elderly people. The corpses of women and children lined the streets of Shejaiya as people fled on foot and in overloaded vehicles.

Zionist Israel an International Pariah / Politics / Israel
By: BATR
Gaza has become a slaughter zone for the eradication of Palestinians with the most advanced military technology that Israel posses. In comparison the blaming of Hamas for this latest barrage of rockets, fails to recognize any proposition in the mutual savagery. Depending on one’s view just who is the unlawful belligerent, sympathy and condemnation follows. This eternal struggle will never end peacefully. Debating international law, dissecting historic claims, strategizing military options, analyzing diplomatic intentions, and especially honoring superior doctrine among conflicting religious beliefs is a formula that offers no solutions. Yet, Israel is wedded to an expansionist political objective. Extending settlements prevent any permanent settlement agreement.

The Conquest Of Real - Degenerate Philosophies of the Book / Politics / Religion
By: Andrew_McKillop
A Dangerous Time
Try to find a common theme, apart from the probable or possible role of the US CIA and other secret services in Al Qaida and ISIS, the Ukraine civil war, Boko Haram or even the rigging of gold, oil and other financial markets. Or the increasingly global Flash Mob uprisings, disappearing or destroyed Malaysian airliners, Russia's ***** Riot, and a bearded lady-transvestite winning the Eurovision song contest of 2014.

From Gore-Bore To Gore-War / Politics / US Politics
By: Andrew_McKillop
The Collapse of Concern
Time was, not many years ago when mainstream media was saturated with Al Gore genre material. One theme he particularly worked, to his own financial benefit, was the fear of massive coastal flooding and destruction as the Earth remorselessly heats up because we burned fossil fuels. Certainly for the last two or three years, this genre material and its fear theme have waned and may be dying. One reason was too much media hype, which cooled public interest in and fear of Heat Death. Opinion polls report ever less interest in the global warming issue or supposed issue. Apocalyptic climate change fell off the front pages, helped by what we can call a certain lack of gore.

Ron Paul on What The Media Won't Report About Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17 / Politics / Mainstream Media
By: Dr_Ron_Paul
Just days after the tragic crash of a Malaysian Airlines flight over eastern Ukraine, Western politicians and media joined together to gain the maximum propaganda value from the disaster. It had to be Russia; it had to be Putin, they said. President Obama held a press conference to claim - even before an investigation - that it was pro-Russian rebels in the region who were responsible. His ambassador to the UN, Samantha Power, did the same at the UN Security Council - just one day after the crash!

The Jewish Selfish Gene, People Chosen by God, Everyone Else is Goyim to Kill / Politics / Israel
By: Nadeem_Walayat
My recent article on the genetics of european Jewish people who claim to be the racial descendants of Jewish people who populated Palestine 2000 years ago pointed out that genetically they are no closely related to the indigenous Jewish populations of Israel / Palestine than any other european peoples are i.e. pointing out what is obvious to most that they look no different to any other european people because they in fact ARE European.

Higher Education is The Biggest Scam Going / Politics / Education
By: Money_Morning
Shah Gilani writes: Here’s a question for you: Has higher education become another great American scam?
I’m not talking about the rich getting scammed. They get what they pay for. They can afford to be scammed – they know what’s up.

By: LewRockwell

US-backed Israeli Invasion of Gaza Unleashes Death and Destruction / Politics / Israel
By: Global_Research
Bill Van Auken writes: The death, destruction and human suffering caused by Israel’s 11-day-old onslaught against the impoverished and densely populated Gaza Strip increased sharply Friday. Israeli troops and armored columns continued pushing into the territory in an invasion launched the night before, even as the bombardment from air, land and sea intensified.

The Israeli Promised Land Dream - The Criminal Roadmap Towards “Greater Israel”? / Politics / Israel
By: Global_Research
Felicity Arbuthnot writes: The concept of a “Greater Israel” according to the founding father of Zionism Theodore Herzl, is a Jewish State stretching “’From the Brook of Egypt to the Euphrates.’
Rabbi Fischmann, of the Jewish Agency for Palestine, stated to the UN Special Committee on 9th July 1947 that:

'Mysterious' Plane Crash - Who benefits? / Politics / GeoPolitics
By: LewRockwell
David A. Stockman writes: More and more bizarre info. and allegations keep popping up about the latest “mysterious plane plane crash”!
One U.S. Media Flash this morning says the pilot asked the Ukrainian air controllers for permission to fly at 35,000 ft. but was denied that request and had to stay a half mile lower–to make it an easier target, I imagine–but the “story line” said nothing about that possibility.

Sanctions and Airliners - What’s the U.S. Empire’s Agenda? / Politics / US Politics
By: Paul_Craig_Roberts
The unilateral US sanctions announced by Obama on July 16 blocking Russian weapons and energy companies access to US bank loans demonstrate Washington’s impotence. The rest of the world, including America’s two largest business organizations, turned their backs on Obama. The US Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of Manufacturers placed ads in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post protesting US sanctions. NAM said that the manufacturer’s association is “disappointed that the US is extending sanctions in increasingly unilateral ways that will undermine US commercial engagement.” Bloomberg reported that “meeting in Brussels, leaders of the European Union refused to match the US measures.”

Edward Snowden Towers Over His Enemies / Politics / Intelligence Agencies
By: John_Rubino
The Guardian just ran an interview with Edward Snowden, the former NSA contractor who blew the whistle on perhaps the most extensive secret spying program in human history and is now a man without a country, very much in danger of assassination or rendition or any number of other nasty things should Washington get ahold of him.
It’s a short interview, just 14 minutes, but by the end it is clear that this guy is vastly smarter and more interesting than the politicians and bureaucrats who would like to hang him. See it here:

Central Bank Monetary Discord / Politics / Central Banks
By: Alasdair_Macleod
Last Monday's Daily Telegraph carried an interview with Jaime Caruana, the General Manager of the Bank for International Settlements (the BIS). As General Manger, Caruana is CEO of the central banks' central bank. In international monetary affairs the heads of all central banks, with the possible exception of Janet Yellen at the Fed, defer to him. And if any one central bank feels the need to obtain the support of all the others, Caruana is the link-man.
