Unspeakable Memories: The Day John Kennedy Died

by Editor

Remembering in all its emotional detail the day John Kennedy died has been a long and cold journey for me. It has allowed me to see and feel the terror of that day, the horror, but also the heroism of the man, the in-your-face warrior for peace whose death should birth in us the courage to carry on his legacy.

Evo overthrown, but Bolivian Socialism will be victorious!

by Editor

Bolivia will fight. It will bring back its legitimate President where he belongs; to the Presidential Palace. The plane which is taking Evo to Mexico, north, is actually taking him home, back to Bolivia. It is a big, big detour. Thousands of kilometers, and months, perhaps even years… But from the moment the airplane took off, the tremendous, epic journey back to La Paz...

“Rising Tensions within OPCW”

by Editor

Eric van de Beek “Tensions within OPCW are rising”, says Russian envoy at OPCW, Alexander Shulgin. The suppression by the chemical weapons watchdog of its own engineers report on the alleged chemical attack in Douma “is only another detonator which could unleash the explosive trends in our organisation.” On April 14, 2018, the US, France, …

Kollibri terre Sonnenblume The US-supported right-wing coup against Bolivian President Evo Morales on November 10th was a serious strike against that nation’s autonomy and its people (especially its indigenous, of whom Morales was one). Such meddling has defined US foreign policy in Latin America for nearly two centuries, since the Monroe Doctrine of 1823. “Same …

GE2019 Reveals True Purpose of “Antisemitism” Smear Campaign

by Kit Knightly

Why are Labour MPs upset at the idea of being in power? Why didn't notionally "liberal" or "progressive" columnists cheer on the idea of removing Britains "hard right" government? Because the only alternative is Jeremy Corbyn, and a whole raft of policies they pretend to support, but would never vote for.

WATCH: Banking Nature

by Catte Black

Did you know an entire banking system is evolving that deals with something even less real than fiat-money? That buys up land on which - allegedly - endangered creatures live and then sells the 'credits' it gives itself for 'saving' this land as offsets to other businesses - so they have what amounts to a licence to pollute and destroy?

The Metamorphosis of the Deep State

by Kit Knightly

Edward Curtin It gets funny, this shallow analysis of the deep state that is currently big news. There’s something ghoulish about it, perfectly timed for Halloween and masked jokers. What was once ridiculed by the CIA and its attendant lackeys in the media as the paranoia of “conspiracy theorists” is now openly admitted in reverent …

WATCH: Days of Judgement: Salem Witch Trials

by Editor

The salem witch Trials stand as a warning that justice can always be miscarried, when authorities become determined to prosecute non-conformists, “deviants”, or political enemies. And especially when the general population supports these efforts. Brian Levack Between 1692 and 1693, in the small township of Salem, Massachusetts, over 200 people were accused of Witchcraft. Twenty …

Interestingly phrased headline here from the #BBC. We might have gone with something like:

"UK in breach of int'l law after refusing to return stolen land"

But hey, it takes all kinds. #ChagosIslands

#ClassWar is only invoked when people speak up for workers, never when the rich attack the poor.

#Austerity is class war, an elitist policy which killed 100k of the poor to pay for the 1%’s corruption.

#Taxation isn’t class war. It’s a class ... peace treaty. #LabourManifesto https://t.co/q9GL7D1ts4

Edward Curtin There is a vast literature on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, who died on a November 22nd Friday like this in 1963. I have contributed my small share to such writing in an effort to tell the truth, honor him, and emphasize its profound importance in understanding the history of the last fifty-six years, but more importantly, what is happening in the U.S.A.

David Macilwain Following the alleged US raid and destruction of a house in NW Syria on 28th October where the notional leader of Da’esh was allegedly living, I spent some time analysing photographs and satellite images of the site. While the main focus of commentary and scepticism was over whether Abu Bakr al Baghdadi had really died, in the way so graphically and poetically described by Donald Trump, inconsistencies and peculiarities surrounding the existence and destruction of the house went largely unnoticed.
