Excellent Article From Paul Craig Roberts: The Tide Is Turning - The Official Story Is Now The Conspiracy Theory
With the 15th anniversary of the Israeli Mossad attack on America that killed some 3000 innocent people and plunged the United States into a never ending and very fraudulent "war on terror" on behalf of the psychotic Jews that control America, I for one am still so surprised that there are people out there that still have "faith" in their criminal governments and still actually believe the bullshit "official story" of 9-11 as being reality! It is indeed shocking to see so many gullible people out there that continue to walk around with blinders on and NOT realizing that everything ... more »
The Syrian War To Free Itself From The Evil US/Israel/NATO Criminal Cabal: Breaking News About Another "Ceasefire" Agreement!
A few months ago, the criminals in the US/Israel/NATO cabal were able to fool the world by getting the Russians and the Syrians to agree to a "ceasefire" in the fighting for Syria... It is a fact that that "ceasefire" at that time was a sham, and was used by the cabal to rush in new weapons and reinforcements to their beleaguered "terrorists" aka mercenaries that were in danger at the time of being annihilated by the good guys, the Syrian government forces and their allies... After that "ceasefire" ended, it should have been obvious to the Syrians and their Russian allies that it wa... more »
Pipelines, Pipe Bombs And Protests-- Standing Rock, North Dakota
*- by Tracy B. Ann* Last Saturday, security for the Dakota Access pipeline used mace and dogs to attack peaceful Native American protesters from Standing Rock Reservation. The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe is fighting on many fronts to stop this pipeline from coming so near their land.. Through legal means they are seeking an injunction, through media they are seeking support for advocacy. They are marching in the streets and making their voices heard. It's a complicated and convoluted story that I can barely begin to comprehend, so let me just lay out the little that I do understand... more »

"Consider The Following..."
"Consider the following. We humans are social beings. We come into the world as the result of others' actions. We survive here in dependence on others. Whether we like it or not, there is hardly a moment of our lives when we do not benefit from others' activities. For this reason it is hardly surprising that most of our happiness arises in the context of our relationships with others. Nor is it so remarkable that our greatest joy should come when we are motivated by concern for others. But that is not all. We find that not only do altruistic actions bring about happiness but they a... more »
"Stay Young..."
"Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind. It is a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions, a predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years. People grow old by deserting their ideals. Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, doubt, self-distrust, fear and despair, these are the long, long years that bow the head and turn the growing spirit back to dust. Whether seventy or seventeen there is in every beings h... more »
"Crabs in a Bucket"
"*Crabs in a Bucket"* by Sarah Robinson "When I was a little girl, I lived very close (and hour and fifteen minutes) to the Florida panhandle beaches. Which meant we spent a TON of time there. Early evening was one of my favorite times to walk the beach with my mom and my older brothers. We were all clean and fed and slightly sun weary but still desperate to be outside. So, we would grab flashlights, dip nets and a bucket and search the ocean’s edge for crabs. We would catch a bucket full in an evening and drag them back home where my mom or my grandmother would cook them up into s... more »

Everything not essential for survival gets jettisoned or set aside. This goes with the territory if you're trying to accomplish a lot of things that are intrinsically complex and open-ended- for example, running a business, being a parent, juggling college, work, family, community commitments, etc. I am confident many if not most of you have experienced burnout due to being overwhelmed by open-ende... more »

Notes on North Korea
It's been a while, so it's time to talk again about our friends in the North. Who else am I speaking of other than the esteemed comrades of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea? Lurid stories have done the rounds about the Dear Respected Comrade's execution of two officials by anti-aircraft gun for the crime of snoozing in a meeting. Alas, this is but churnalism, but as ever, there is a deadlier side to Kim's clownish, murderous japes: the North's second nuclear test this year. This is a big deal.

Is Retaliation Illegal? Sometimes
Lots of people approach me every week and say they feel they were retaliated against. I usually have to ask, "Retaliation for what?" I think there's a basic misunderstanding of what retaliation is, and when it's illegal. The first part of the problem is understanding retaliation itself. Webster's defines retaliation as: To do something bad to someone who has hurt you or treated you badly : to get revenge against someone So retaliation = revenge. The next issue, which is the core problem in retaliation cases, is whether what you did that was "bad" in your employer's eyes is somethin... more »

The U.S. Special Forces advisers with the ISOF refused to support the operation saying that they had no intelligence against Zubeidi. The raid turned into a disaster. The ISOF ended up killing the Diyala governor’s secretary, (1) and beat the deputy governor (2) and Zubeidi.

Operation Ronce: is French army ready to re-conquer Islamic no-go zones?
Yesterday, our glorious confederate EU leaders have decided to kickstart the greatest "humanitarian" gesture in the EU history, in their efforts to at least infinitesimally please their new great friend Erdogan. All the illegals who are currently in Turkey and plan to continue their illegal trip to the EU have been donated free debit cards with €0.348 billion on them. The money should make it easier for them to buy boats, get to Greece or Turkey, or take a flight to Western Europe, and neutralize some cops or other Europeans who would dare to try to enforce the law.

Neutrons, neutrons everywhere...

Virginia’s William Berkeley and the Creation of the Cherokee Indians
[image: Virginia’s William Berkeley and the Creation of the Cherokee Indians: Part One] What is shocking is the actual volume of activity taking place in the three decades before the advent of the English at Jamestown. We have central to this a shepardic Jewish migration that landed in New York but then pushed through the central mountain valley in the Appalachians down through to today's Atlanta. All this anchored new villages as well as caused the direct destruction of local Indians. From this is is clear that a history commission needs to be convened in order to pro... more »
Christianity Is The Only True Faith,
This essay takes a while and there is much that is new. The depth of the work is something completely new to me and shocking. Central is that all is drawn from a natural awe of the spirit world that leads erroneously to worship. Our own investigations has led to understanding the world of spirit and to respecting communication but certainly not to worship. But this is what has been happening in all religions other than Christianity which recenters on the nature of a GOD unique to our existence. Islam and all other religions are founded on the worship of the experienced ... more »
Massive Land Invasion To Syria
[image: 89392491e64939b9ff131d36] If this is true, Turkey is plausibly embarking on the road to disaster and setting itself up for a huge counter movement by the non Muslim world. Yet what is surely true is that the whole former Ottoman empire needs the benefit of an international boundary commission or its equivalent as does the former soviet union. Right now we are dealing with opportunism aimed at stopping the Kurds. That conflict is not going away either. In the meantime do absorb this to understand the underlying mythology held by the Muslim world. This will ... more »
This Presidential Election will not be a Replay of 1964
What is hardly true is the characterization of Trump as right wing. He is a centrist Democrat at its best. Having sewed up the so called right wing with his outrageous and absurd campaign, he now rotates on to landing the Democrats to his cause. That consists of an unrelenting exposure of his opponent and pushing appropriate policy as in immigration while swinging Mexico on side as he has just done. In short he can readily straddle the center with Hilary's best policy positions while demolishing Hilary on her actual competence and personal greed. Hilary's only winning path is... more »

B. F. Skinner Explains the Proper Use of iPads in School
Have a look at this brilliant overlay of B. F. Skinner's 1950s explanation of the teaching machine onto students today using iPads in school (original Skinner video here). Sadly, the same psychology applies to today's efforts at children doing rat learning and having their behaviors managed. What has changed, however, is that today's "teaching machines" have the capacity to store and share every right and wrong answer from pre-K through high school, and the lessons now contain "character" training exercises to breed repression and docility.

As a Canadian, I am basically an outsider "looking in" in regards to the US Presidential Election circus that I see going on in the United States right now..... To me the entire facade is so laughable and quite honestly, the American election process is now the laughing stock of the entire planet..... For a very long time I have reported constantly on how very logically I see the US election process as a sham and a farce due to the failings of the "two party system" and how the US people have NO choice to make simply because no matter which criminal wins in November, their nation co... more »

Why Are Most Republicans In Congress Afraid To Speak Out About Trump's Psychosis The Way Jeff Flake Does?
Jeff Flake has never been someone with whom we've found much common ground here at *DWT*. He was a very conservative House member and he is a very conservative senator. But unlike most Republicans in Congress, Flake isn't a coward when it comes to the execrable Señor Trumpanzee. When Flake was asked by Jake Tapper on CNN's *State of the Union* if Clinton could win his state-- polls show a dead-heat in Arizona, although the most recent shows Hillary beating Trumpanzee 35.1% to 33.5%-- he said he wouldn't vote for either Hillary or Trump and pointed to "the tone and tenor of his camp... more »

Julian Assange: Hillary Clinton Is Lying, I Have Proof
Julian Assange said Tuesday night that Hillary Clinton lied to the FBI when she said she didn’t know what the classified “c” marker means in government email correspondences, and the WikiLeaks founder proved his claims by producing thousands of examples of Clinton using the “c” marker herself in correspondence. “She is lying,” Assange told Fox News. “And it is disturbing that [FBI Director James] Comey goes along with that game.“ Details of Clinton’s testimony to the FBI released on late on Friday afternoon show that the former secretary of state repeatedly claimed she could not rem... more »

The DSM V Special that was broadcast last night by 30 Rock Bottom hardly deserves commentary except to say that Matt Lauer is now officially and simultaneously the worst political moderator ever and the official cock puppet of the Trump campaign.

*Howard LaFranchi, CSM*: *In Aleppo, a potential turning point for Syria* The fight over the city of Aleppo is so important that it could recast the six-year Syrian civil war. WASHINGTON — Aleppo, Syria’s commercial powerhouse and a symbolic rival to the capital Damascus, has been under siege for most of a civil war that is well into its sixth year. But the intense fighting there now, where the rebels that once dominated the city are fighting to stave off the forces of President Bashar al-Assad, is of a different order.
