Happy New Year! We always approach a new year with anticipation, hope, and

have seen in some time. A new Republican president spent his first year
pursuing more or less the same foreign policy as his Democratic predecessor
and the Democratic Party spent the year looking under every rock in the US
for a “Russian connection” or any other reason to see him impeached over it.

US Empire Is Running The Same Script With Iran That It Ran With Libya, Syria
Caitlin Johnstone at - 8 hours ago

Two weeks ago a memo was leaked from inside the Trump administration
showing how Secretary of State and DC neophyte Rex Tillerson was coached on
how the US empire uses human rights as a pretense on which to attack and
undermine noncompliant governments. *Politico* reports:
The May 17 memo reads like a crash course for a
businessman-turned-diplomat, and its conclusion offers a starkly realist
vision: that the US should use human rights as a club against its
adversaries, like Iran, China and North Korea, while giving a pass to

Some historical facts that the BBC and Giles Fraser would do well to learn so they don't push the same lie about Jesus being a 'Palestinian' again in the future
'The Arabs invaded and occupied the he Roman province of Judea in the 7th

someone spoke to him in Arabic or for one moment considered him to be
anything but Jewish. He would have spoken Hebrew and Aramaic, with perhaps
some Greek and/or Latin, but not Arabic.
Now Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross. And the writing was:JESUS
