The ICC and NGOs: Modern Day Manifestations of "The White Man's Burden"
*March 23, 2019* (Tony Cartalucci - NEO) - The International Criminal Court (ICC) is not international nor a legitimate court, but is most certainly criminal. It is an institutionalized tool - one of many - used by Western corporate-financier interests to coerce and control nations across the developing world. In a recent charade aimed to boost its otherwise nonexistent credibility, the ICC has claimed it seeks to investigate the United States for war crimes regarding Afghanistan. It also claims it is investigating the United Kingdom regarding Iraq. However, the ICC has - since i... more »

Despite being one of the least trustworthy characters in American politics, he has been allowed to infiltrate multiple layers of the Democratic Party establishment to a degree that nearly every Democratic failure since the early 2000s ... more »

Cities Step Up Worker Protections - Has Yours?
The United States is way behind most other western nations in protecting its workers.
