The Myth of Right vs. Left, Liberal vs. Conservative – Top 9 Myths Believed by BOTH Sides to Usher in a New World Order
I have previously written about how the events unfolding very rapidly before us today are not accidental events, but planned events with a very specific goal, a New World Order. The New World Order is being planned by very rich and very influential people who have been planning this for a long time. They want to reduce the world's population and establish a single government to rule the world, along with a single belief system. I have unmasked who is at the top of this group as well, and if you have not read that article which was published earlier this week (June 2020), please rea... more »

A Reflection in a Time of Turmoil
It’s been more than six months since I last wrote an article, a hiatus that was induced by the continued social stratification of America and the ethnic strife that was metastasizing in my birthland Ethiopia. After spending years, if not the larger part of my adult life, inveighing against injustice and extolling the virtues of unity to overcome inequalities, a question that started off as a whisper steadily grew into a persistent echo. What if… The post A Reflection in a Time of Turmoil appeared first on The Ghion Journal.
June 4:Are we heading for the final act?
This site is designed to find the best sources of news. Alas, this world is short of good news service whether in newspapers, radio or TV. This blog carries Britain's "The Guardian" because it is one of the only two or three honest news sources in the English world. Most of the other sources on the site are operated by honest, intelligent and concerned individuals and groups. Do I have any experience of news gathering? Well, in addition to my full time job, I appeared for thousands of times on radio, TV, and writing for newspapers. _________________________________________________... more »

Shedding Some Light at the End of the Covid-19 Tunnel: Plotting a Way Forward
Global Issues News Headlines - 4 hours ago
DHAKA, Bangladesh, Jun 04 (IPS) - Lockdowns have been the main measures to ‘flatten the curve' of COVID-19 infections. But lockdowns typically incur huge economic costs, distributed unevenly in economies and societies. In fact, some governments acknowledged that they were choosing ‘life over economy'. *‘Life vs. Economy': A false dichotomy * As lockdowns have been repeatedly extended arguing that economy can be revived but not the dead, it has become increasingly clear that ‘lives and livelihoods' are intrinsically intertwined. The longer the lockdowns, higher is the risk of hung... more »

ROME, Jun 04 (IPS) - Landless farmers who produce rice for the landlords of big "haciendas" can't get more than a little pocket money from their harsh work—not enough to provide diverse and healthy food for their families. Seasonal workers on sugar-cane plantations know that they can count on only six months of earnings. When summer arrives, those whose irrigation facilities have been destroyed by typhoons, or those who never had any, struggle while waiting for the rain.

"Rise Up, America!"
*"Rise Up, America!"* by Brian Maher "Today we hoist the black flag of anarchy… and plot illicit acts. For the spirit of sedition steals over us. And passion overmasters our typical Olympian serenity. We may be declared infamous and set down as an insurrectionist. We may be sent to the gallows. Yet the time for meek submission is gone. And the time for bald defiance is here. Do we break heads? Do we holler against the police? Do we incite our fellow Americans to thieving, to arson, to bedlam? We do none of it, no. We are as peaceful as a napping baby, as peaceful as grazing sheep. ... more »

The late 1960s were the heyday of modern American liberalism, which was then an ideology of hope. A bipartisan Congress passed landmark civil-rights legislation in 1964 and 1965.

Is Biden Turning Over A New Leaf? Have The Blinders Really Been Taken Off?
I've hated Biden since the 1970s when he switched parties, called himself a Democrat and rode his slick pandering to anti-busing racists in the Delaware suburbs into the U.S. Senate. Once in the Senate he started competing for the position of "most conservative Democrat"-- no easy task when the Senate was full of Dixiecrat racists who hadn't jumped to the GOP yet. He actually bemoaned the fact that in the 1860s Maryland was in the way and Delaware hadn't been able to join the Confederacy. (I'm sure he was just joking to his very appreciative South Carolina audience.) There is so m... more »

The reigning chaos reflects perfectly what passes for thought in millions of minds. Minds that have been taught that reality is whatever one believes it to be. That reason is a superstition and is inferior to random feelings and emotions. That observation, hypotheses, experimentation, discovery, and science itself are akin to voodoo rituals. That consumption precedes production and is morally superior to it. That anyone’s work, income and wealth are subj... more »
