If Hillary Or Cruz Blocks Bernie's Path Revolution, Maybe The Musical Way Will Work-- Phil K. Dick's Radio Free Albemuth
Any Philip K. Dick fans in the house? You know, the San Francisco guy whose work is categorized as science fiction while much of it is about the evils of monopolies and tyrannies. Among his 44 novels and 121 short stories, *The Man in the High Castle* won him a Hugo Award for best novel in 1963 although he's probably best known for the books and stories that were made into movies, like *Blade Runner* (*Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?*), *Total Recall* (*We Can Remember It For You Wholesale*), *Minority Report*, *Imposter*, *Screamers* (*Second Variety*), *The Adjustment Burea... more »

Was The Paris Attacks A Result of A Massive Failure In Western Intelligence?
*WSJ*:* Paris Attacks Show U.S., Allies Misjudged Islamic State* No longer a regional threat, ISIS demonstrates a long and deadly reach The Paris terror attacks suggest that the U.S. and its allies overestimated recent successes against Islamic State while underestimating the group’s ability to strike far from its Middle East stronghold, according to U.S. lawmakers, analysts and former senior intelligence officials. Islamic State now challenges Western intelligence agencies and policy makers not as a growing regional threat, but as a terrorist group with a long and deadly reach, d... more »

Will 2016 Be The End Of The Road For The Republican Party?
In the last few weeks we've referred a few times to the newest poll from Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research's Democracy Corps. Greenberg is Democratic pollster Stanley Greenberg and Friday he penned an OpEd for the *Washington Post*, Why 2016 could be shattering for Republicans. Maybe a better title would have been "Why 2016 could be shattering for Republicans or why it might not be." His premise is that there's a bugeoning new majority pushing for "the revolutionary economic and social changes" that makes the GOP's counterrevolutionary assault antithetical.

Fake Syrian Passport Trade Raises Doubts Over Paris Attackers’ Identities
It has been revealed that a Syrian passport was found near or on the body of one of the terrorist suicide bombers in Paris. The man had apparently travelled via the refuge trail through the Balkans to Paris. The passport discovery raises more questions than answers because of the trade that goes on in forged Syrian travel documents. The suicide bomber may either acquired the passport from someone else to get through Greece and Serbia, or obtained it before the attacks in Paris. In either case it could be a forgery.

Hypocritical Crackpot Republicans Blame Obama (And Hillary) For ISIS Terrorism In Paris
When I heard that the refugee camp in Calais had gone up in flames Friday night during the terrorist attack in Paris I had two competing thoughts-- attacking the fleeing Syrian refugees was part of the ISIS plan, or that neo-Nazis from Le Pen's Front National found themselves some defenseless targets who couldn't fight back. There were around 6,000 people living there, trying to make their way to the U.K. Would rightists be so inhuman as to set a refugee camp on fire?

Paul Craig Roberts has obtained a piece of intelligence that is unlikely to reach the air waves: "[T]here was a massive cyber attack on French systems 48 hours prior to and during the Paris attacks." He opines that "Such an attack is beyond the capability of most organizations and requires capability that is unlikely to be in ISIL’s arsenal." and thus "The coordination required suggests state involvement."

Do Republican Politicians Cause Cancer In The States They Run? Oh, Absolutely
Do you ever listen to crackpots like Trump, Carson, Fiorina, Cruz... ranting and raving, just lying their asses off, and wonder who the hell is stupid enough to listen to these people-- let alone vote for them? Or wonder who's stupid enough to sit and listen to Hate Talk Radio and Fox "News" all day, not as a lark but as a source of "information?"

After the Paris Attacks
Near the beginning of the year I had to write about a set of Paris attacks, and as it comes to a close here we are again. As 129 innocent people lie dead thanks to the cowardly actions of self-styled warriors of Allah, the awful shock is tempered by a world-weary inevitably, a sense that something like the *Charlie Hebdo* massacre was always going to happen again. And again. And again. For the murderous thugs and zealots of IS, there is no out-of-bounds, no target too soft to be the object of an outrage, but to defeat them the powers ranged against IS can't carry on as they have bee... more »
Stephen Lendman, like Paul Craig Roberts, seeks truths that are hidden to us by our government and the mainstream media who report govenment lies without doing any research of their own ...thus meriting PCR's term "prestitutes."

Defining Terrorism
Terrorism is a major concern in modern life. Canada has been called a “peaceable kingdom” but there has been plenty of politically motivated violence in Canada’s past. Ignoring the 1837 and Red River Rebellions, D'Arcy McGee and Pierre Laporte died in what can only be described as terrorist violence. Fenian assaults through the 1860s and 1870s mark the birth of Canada. I clearly remember FLQ bombings in Quebec in the 1960s and 1970s. More recently we have seen what appears to be religiously motivated violence in Ottawa. All that said, the definition of terrorism is not stra... more »

When the YF-22 prototype won the contract for the Advanced Tactical Fighter (ATF) in April 1991, it was a lesser plane compared to the Northrop YF-23 in many ways. Though the YF-22 was a more maneuverable aircraft, the YF-23 had far greater supersonic cruise capability—especially when outfitted with the General Electric YF120 variable cycle engines.

How Camouflage Helmets Are Made

First, a thin film made of polyvinyl alcohol is printed with the camouflage pattern, and placed above a pool of water. After about a minute, the film dissolves into dye, which is when the helmets are dipped into the water.

Apparently 'Smartphones, tablets and e-readers should have an automatic "bedtime mode" that stops them disrupting people's sleep, says a leading doctor.' They already do, it's called the off button. More first world problems here http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-34744859
Taking sides
As events were unfolding in Paris on Friday night, Radio 4's *The World Tonight, *in typical BBC Radio 4 fashion, debated the ethics of killing Mohammed Emwazi. Here's a transcription of the whole interview (especially as the discussion turned out to be very interesting). Note, however, the questions put to each guest by presenter Razia Iqbal. Though the guest selection was balanced, the questions put to each of them struck me as strikingly unbalanced. Philippe Sands, introduced as an "expert", was asked unchallenging, even helpful questions - unlike Lord Dannatt, who was aske... more »

Terrorism and the 2016 Campaign
The Paris terror attacks have brought the issue to the fore in awful, dramatic fashion. It’s inevitable that the topic will feature in tonight’s Democratic debate and the wider campaign. With world leaders set to convene in Paris in a few weeks time for the global climate negotiations, French vulnerability to terrorism has taken on […]

Ted Cruz Knows As Little About History As Paul Ryan Does About Economics
Today at the shameless anti religious liberty rally-- "Rally for Religious Liberty"-- at Bob Jones "University" in Greenville, South Carolina, starring anti-Jesus hate-monger Tony Perkins and vicious homophobe Ted Cruz (congratulations Mati and Ian), Cruz said "America is a center-right nation built on Judeo-Christian values. It’s who we were in 1776 and it's who we are today." But, of course, that's a rewrite of American history. In 1776, the political right-- the Ted Cruzes and Jeb Bushes and Marco Rubios of the day-- sided with the British monarchy against the American patriots.... more »

Pressure Builds For Big Military Response Against The Islamic State
Reuters: *After Paris attacks, pressure builds for big military response to Islamic State* The Paris terror attacks are likely to galvanize a stronger global military response to Islamic State, after a U.S.-led air war that has lasted more than a year has failed to contain a group now proving itself to be a growing worldwide threat. The United States, long accused of taking an incremental approach to the struggle, is under growing political pressure at home and abroad to do more and it is expected to examine ways to intensify the campaign, including through expanded air power.

Though American Interference May Have Created It, ISIS Will Have To Be Destroyed
By Manifesto Joe The Islamo-fascists of ISIS, I have no doubt, are essentially a creation of Western, and particularly American, interference in the Middle East. I confess to being somewhat "neo-isolationist" to the extent that I regard anti-U.S. "blowback" as the major cause of our troubles in that region now. I am thoroughly sympathetic with President Obama's reluctance to put American "boots on the ground" in the Mideast, especially since most Americans (not me) got suckered into an expensive and needless war there back in 2003. But the terrorism that we've seen in the past seve... more »

ISIS have issued a statement claiming responsibility for the Paris attacks, referring to Parisians as “crusaders” and referring to Paris as a city of “prostitution and vice”.

Paris -- Who made the terror?
By Denis G. Rancourt The US and its allies murdered one million civilians in Iraq, using indefinite sanctions and war, destroyed all public infrastructure, and gutted all institutions.

Paul Craig Roberts: "A baker in Colorado was punished because he would not bake a wedding cake for a homosexual marriage. A county or state clerk was punished because she would not issue a marriage license for a homosexual marriage. University professors are punished because they criticize Israel’s inhumane treatment of Palestinians. Whistleblowers are punished—despite their protection under federal law—for revealing crimes of the US government. And children are punished for being children." And that is not the worst. "Protesters, war and otherwise, are beaten, tear gassed, arrested. The American police state is working hard to criminalize all criticism of itself."
