Over the years, I have written about, spoken about, and even given a commencement address about the perilous laziness of cynicism and the ever-swelling urgency of not only resisting it but a... more »

Help Puerto Rico
Donald Trump spent the weekend further pitting American against American over the issue of football players taking a knee during the national anthem as they used their First Amendment right to express concern about police brutality. Is it possible that Trump used the NFL controversy in order to distract attention away from the massive hurricane damage in Puerto Rico? Two reasons come to mind why Trump would do this - first, he does not want us to talk about the present effects of growing storms as oceans warm due to human impacts on the environment. Climate change is real and Tru... more »

Hey you little shit, you just helped to send a White Nationalist to the White House.Courtesy of WaPo: *Nine days after Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg dismissed as “crazy” the idea that fake news on his company’s social network played a key role in the U.S. election, President Barack Obama pulled the youthful tech billionaire aside and delivered what he hoped would be a wake-up call. * *For months leading up to the vote, Obama and his top aides quietly agonized over how to respond to Russia’s brazen intervention on behalf of the Donald Trump campaign without making matt... more »
Swallowing Spiders and UFOs
You’re probably wondering what swallowing spiders in your sleep has to do with UFOs and the answer, simply, is “Nothing.” A really ugly spider, much to big to swallow. It is the research behind attempting to learn where this “fact” originated that is of importance here. Tyler Adkisson of Newsy, decided to learn where this idea originated because, apparently, he found it improbable that people swallow spiders in their sleep. He noted that there were only a few ways that it could happen, such as the spider using its silk to parachute into a sleeping person’s mouth, but a biochemist in ... more »
The 5 of Most Deadly Guns of Modern War
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * Real killers. *The rifle uses a unique 5.8-millimeter round developed by China and not used outside of its borders. The justification for the round is a bit of a mystery. It seemingly does not provide any significant improvement over existing NATO and Russian cartridges, both of which have seen extensive research and development and the development of a wide variety of subrounds. One possible explanation for the Chinese round is that it makes the QBZ-95 unable to accept externally sourced ammunition.* Modern warfare has seen breathtaking advances in... more »

I responded I hadn't any evidence of that since when he did so from Tel Aviv, he'd successfully cloaked whatever IP address he was using.

Syria - US CentCom Declares War On Russia
[image: undefined] *bigger* Yesterday three high ranking Russian officers were killed in an "ISIS attack" in eastern-Syrian. It is likely that they were killed by US special forces or insurgents under US special forces control. The incident will be understood as a declaration of war. The US Central Command in the Middle East wants the oil fields in east-Syria under control of its proxy forces to set up and control a US aligned Kurdish mini-state in the area. The Syrian government, allied with Russia, needs the revenues of the oil fields to rebuild the country. Last week the Russian... more »
Trump Vs The NFL - The Right To Protest
Do NFL players have the "right" to protest against the national anthem on the playing field? Should Trump's demand that anyone who does not stand should be fired? What about the owners?

Joint Development—The Only Path to Peace in Korea
EIR *By Mike Billington* It was true in the 1990s, as it was in 2002-2005, and is even more emphatically true today: only by engaging North Korea in a process of large scale regional infrastructure development can the threat of war be averted — perhaps global thermonuclear war. When the Soviet Union fell in 1991, Lyndon and Helga LaRouche called for a New Silk Road, from Pusan to Rotterdam, as the necessary basis for ending the danger of global war, uniting East and West through the joint construction of multiple development corridors. The continuing isolation of North Korea was ... more »

I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Bank because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered but private central bank. ... more »
