West Point Speech & Foreign Policy Philosophy
It is ironic that President Obama in his West Point speech posited that the US couldn`t be the world`s police, and intervene in every single dispute all over the globe; and yet his foreign policy approach has ended up getting involved in every single dispute all over the world.

How Obama’s Support of Israel Undermines U.S. Foreign Policy / Politics / US Politics
By: Shamus_Cooke
Blasting Gaza into rubble has affected the average American in ways that U.S. politicians will learn to regret. The result will be more than simply bleeding hearts for dead Palestinian children (430 at last count). There is a deeper political effect happening, as young and old alike realize for the first time the cancerous lies coursing through the veins of the U.S. media and political system.

Israel’s Military Strategy to Completely Obliterate Gaza Population - Overwhelming Evidence of Genocide / Politics / Israel
By: Michel_Chossudovsky
Genocide directed against Palestinians has become a “New Normal” according to the Times of Israel.
Under certain circumstances –according to the Times of Israel article–“Genocide is Permissible” because it is directed against Palestinians who are “terrorists” and who should be “obliterated”.

Immunity Politics And The End Of Democracy / Politics / GeoPolitics
By: Andrew_McKillop
Immune to Reason
Fear-motivated rejection of change in our society has become systematic or even pre-emptive. In politics and the political process this goes much further than only dumbing down, producing what we can call the Baby-and-Bathwater syndrome. The most intense negative result of this is that entire political parties and movements are now “vaccinated” against reality. Party platforms and leadershipa are no longer able to reason. This is much further into the danger zone than denying reality.

By: Nadeem_Walayat
Baroness Warsi tweeted this morning that she would be resigning from David Cameron's Chamberlainesk government that through silence on the current phase of the slow burn genocide / holocaust of the Palestinian people that Israel seeks to quiet, just as Germany of the 1930's had sought to bring quiet to Europe's Jews.

The End of Consensus Politics in China / Politics / China
By: STRATFOR
John Minnich writes: Chinese President Xi Jinping's anti-corruption campaign is the broadest and deepest effort to purge, reorganize and rectify the Communist Party leadership since the death of Mao Zedong in 1976 and the rise of Deng Xiaoping two years later. It has already probed more than 182,000 officials across numerous regions and at all levels of government. It has ensnared low-level cadres, mid-level functionaries and chiefs of major state-owned enterprises and ministries. It has deposed top military officials and even a former member of the hitherto immune Politburo Standing Committee, China's highest governing body. More than a year after its formal commencement and more than two years since its unofficial start with the downfall of Chongqing Party Secretary Bo Xilai, the campaign shows no sign of relenting.

Apocalypse Now Or Maybe Next Week / Politics / GeoPolitics
By: Andrew_McKillop
The Hydra Threat
Destroying all memory of the past, for example by saying “history is dead”, is a common thread of apocalyptic and millenarian cults as well as the Bible. It is a powerful drug for diluting and smothering social perception and acceptance of change, except mythical and fantasist change. This is the exact opposite of the Global Reset promised (or threatened) by for example Agenda 21 and the NWO.

World War One and the End of the Bourgeois Century / Politics / Social Issues
By: MISES
Ryan W. McMaken writes: Last week marked the 100 Anniversary of the beginning of World War I. That war, which produced over 37 million casualties, not counting the related famines and epidemics that came in the war’s wake, also destroyed the political systems of numerous countries, setting the stage for fascism and communism in Europe. In the United States, and of course also throughout Europe, the war led to paranoia and political repression rarely seen during the previous century, and in the United States, the Wilson administration’s “anti-sedition” efforts led to a large-scale destruction of basic American liberties unmatched even by the Alien and Sedition acts of the eighteenth century.

Three Countries to Emerge from Iraq as We Know it Now! / Politics / Iraq War
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
In the last few weeks the story of Iraq has faded from the headlines to be replaced by the story on the Ukraine, Gaza and on the business front the tumble of the Dow on the New York Stock Exchange.
But right now in the world we are watching many structural changes taking place quietly but completely. One is the shift of wealth and power to the east, the rise of the Yuan and its use in a growing number of global transactions in the place of the U.S. dollar. At the moment Russia is turning its economic head towards China and the developed world doing its best to do so too. And still the east is gaining ground and its share of global cash flow has doubled from 20% to 40% since the beginning of the century. This is set to continue strongly.

Ron Paul - Why Won't Obama Just Leave Ukraine Alone? / Politics / Ukraine Civil War
By: Dr_Ron_Paul
President Obama announced last week that he was imposing yet another round of sanctions on Russia, this time targeting financial, arms, and energy sectors. The European Union, as it has done each time, quickly followed suit.
These sanctions will not produce the results Washington demands, but they will hurt the economies of the US and EU, as well as Russia.

Flight MH17, Gaza, ISIS - Chaos And Conspiracy Do Not Mix / Politics / Conspiracy Theory
By: Andrew_McKillop
Why We Believe in Conspiracy
Plot theories abound and pullulate, not only on the Internet but also in the glove puppet media, in politics, business, the arts and almost everywhere and anywhere in today's ersatz “global culture”. If its not MH370 then its MH17. If the weather's bad that's because of chemtrail spraying or its because the Chinese burn too much coal. If the weather's good its a freak even and it will not last long. Oil is of course running out but this is planned. Tesla Motor and the solar energy industry did it.

We are America, the Exceptional Empire, Above All Law / Politics / US Politics
By: Michael_T_Bucci
The USA does not rule the Universe. It does not rule the world. It certainly will never rule Russia and China. If America wishes to risk planetary destruction by waging a nuclear exchange to attempt any of the above, it will be stopped by other means. No country ever was, is, or ever will be above the laws of God and man.

Anti-Semitism: The Ultimate Zionist Weapon / Politics / Israel
By: Global_Research
William Hanna writes: Differentiating between Zionism and Judaism requires recognition of certain basic facts. To begin with, Theodor Herzl (the founder of Zionism) was an atheist whose personal awareness of Jewishness appears to have been awakened during the 1894 trial, wrongful conviction, and imprisonment on Devil’s Island of Alfred Dreyfus, a French artillery officer of Alsatian Jewish descent accused of spying for Germany. In his diaries, Herzl makes no secret of his intention to use Jewish suffering as a means of furthering Zionist ideology. His vision for a Jewish state had nothing to do with “ … I will also bring them back to the land that I gave to their forefathers and they shall possess it” (Jeremiah 30:3). Herzl actually considered various other locations such as Uganda and Argentina for his Zionist state and his view of Zionism and Judaism was more akin to that of Chaim Chassas who in 1943 in the Zionist newspaper, Ha’Arutz, said:

Something Sinister Going On? The Unanswered Questions of Flight MH17 / Politics / GeoPolitics

“Recent history has repeatedly proven that nothing said by Washington and its officials should be accepted at face value. No other government in the world has been implicated in so many egregious lies as the United States.” Bill Van Auken, “US lies and hypocrisy on Gaza and Ukraine“, World Socialist Web Site

Ed Miliband Distances Himself from David 'Chamberlain' Cameron on Israel Gaza Terror War / Politics / UK Politics
By: Videos
Ed Miliband who has close personal ties with Israel, now fearful of losing votes at the next general election as a consequence of the slow burn genocide of the Palestinian people as illustrated by the current ongoing War on Gaza is attempting to distance himself from Britain's modern day Chamberlain Prime Minister David Cameron by issuing a string of criticisms of primarily David Cameron and secondly Israel's slaughter of mostly women and children.

Zionism And The American Dream / Politics / US Politics
By: Andrew_McKillop
Ideology Trumps Rationality
Zionists like to claim there “no limit expansion” doctrine for Israel is on a twin track with the so-called American Dream so we can ask this question. What about the Global Caliphate dream or nightmare of ISISI? Is that also “historically valid”?
We can forget the short-lived American foreign policy doctrine that Israel must be defended because, for a period of time, it controlled several major transport routes for oil from the Arabian peninsula to America and its allies in Europe. The “oil handle” for US aid of all kinds to Israel was short-lived but support to Israel is a cornerstone of foreign policy, and Congress is at this moment rushing to vote about $225 million to strengthen Israel's Iron Dome anti-missile system.

The Hannibal Directive - Israel Kills Its Own Soldier Hadar Goldin / Politics / Israel
By: Videos
Channel 4 News once more caught Israel in the act of apparently killing its own captured / MIA soldier in Gaza, when just minutes after a 72 hour cease fire come into effect Israel carpet bombed the Rafa city area where the soldier had gone missing, effectively seeking to kill EVERYTHING in the area, men, women, children and even their own missing soldier, resulting in over 100 deaths as Israel initiated what is known as the Hannibal Directive in the event of an Israeli soldier going missing in action, as managing propaganda is of primary importance to the Israeli zionist state.

Flood And The Desert – The Heroic Water Crisis Clash / Politics / Environmental Issues
By: Andrew_McKillop
Oh California
As you read this California's lakes, rivers and streams are steadily dwindling to nothing. Across the SW USA underground aquifers are relentlessly draining dry and by 2025 Lake Mead has a 50% probability of becoming totally dry. About 80% of all rivers in China are so polluted they can support no aquatic life at all. Due to a lack of water, Saudi Arabia has given up on trying to grow irrigated wheat and will be 100% dependent again on wheat imports by 2016. Elsewhere in the Middle East, the flow of water to the Jordan river, Tigris and Euphrates is down to less than 5% of historic averages. The Dead Sea is shrinking so fast that huge sinkholes proliferate daily, able to swallow roads, buildings and any imprudent person. In central Asia the Aral Sea, one of the world's biggest lakes outside the US-Canadian Great Lakes continues to shrink leaving rusted hulks of ships a dozen kilometres from the retreating waters.

Israel Determined to Exterminate the Real Jews of Palestine, The ONE State Final Solution / Politics / Israel
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Channel 4 News continues to give a unique unbiased window into not just the daily carnage in Gaza of 100+ killed per day of mostly women and children but also the 1930's Germany style madness that has gripped the people of Israel as the nation blindly engages in its own version of the final solution against those deemed to be sub-human, all this on the basis of religious myths of ancient events that never happened that coalesce around the myth of "the chosen people by God" and a "promised land" that the jewish fundamentalist state sees as permission to exterminate non jews living in Palestine.

Flagrant Rush To War In The Ukraine Crisis / Politics / Ukraine Civil War
By: Andrew_McKillop
Rush to War – Fog of War
Fog of war is used by many war historians to describe what drove Europe into World War I and destroyed a century of rising European wealth and colonial power. There were no fixed and set, clearly identifiable triggers and thresholds. Claims that the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand and his wife in Sarajevo was the sole trigger or at least the main driver, or that the Lusitania ship-sinking incident was the sole driver of the USA's very late entry to this war are easy to qualify or invalidate. There was a fog of war that had been building for at least a decade, some historians say.
