On America’s Invasion of Grenada
In April 1975, the American military was defeated in Vietnam. On October 23, 1983, the U.S. Marines Corps barracks in Beirut suffered a devastating attack in which hundreds were killed—this was the bloodiest attack ever on an American military post. The American political establishment was now in a desperate need of flexing its muscles somewhere in the world to prove to their own population and to outsiders that they were still capable of fighting wars. So Ronald Reagan decided to invade the “tiny” state of Grenada which has a population of barely 100,000 people and an army consis... read more
๐Ÿ˜‚ Dr. Jill' Biography Sells Just 250 Copies First Week
"The American people are decidedly disinclined to pay $26 for a book about the life of President Joe Biden's primary caretaker. *Politico* reports that a recently published biography of Dr. Jill Biden, Ed.D, sold just 250 copies in its first week of circulation. The Politico article, which documents the professional anxiety of the poor White House correspondents who find it "boring and difficult" to cover an administration whose policies they wholeheartedly support, cites the poor sales of *Jill: A Biography of the First Lady by AP reporters Julie Pace and Darlene Superville *as an ... read more

Britain’s Foreign Secretary Wants To Form A 'Global NATO'

Ukraine – Doubling Down
According to the daily reports of Russia's Ministry of Defense the Ukraine is losing several hundred soldiers and some 30 armored vehicles per day, most of them to artillery. A flood of gruel pictures posted on Telegram by both sides confirm this. Several Ukrainian attempts to counterattack Russian forces have failed. 'Western' propagandists are noting that their side is losing. The typical U.S. reaction to losing is to double down. As Michael Hudson explains (vid), the economic consequences of this war will be catastrophic for many countries and people. But the neocons who are ru... read more

America First worked and protected Europe and Ukraine
Despite all the fretting over Trump's "America First" rhetoric, his administration strengthened relations with key partners. The Biden Administration has lost them all. The two invasions of Ukraine—2014 against Crimea and now against the Ukrainian homeland—took place under two weak Democratic presidents. President Trump’s combination of military build-up, tough talk and unpredictability arguably kept malign Russian ambitions at bay.

Top Ten Pesticide-Soaked Fruits and Vegetables to Avoid in the Year 2022
About one billion pounds of conventional, synthetic pesticides are used each year in the United States to control weeds, insects, and other pests. This number began rising in the mid-1990s, with the advent of genetically modified foods, which are engineered in a lab to withstand large sprayings of Roundup herbicides. Other GMO crops such as Bt corn produce pesticides within the plant itself. These crops are typically used to make processed food products like corn chips, including America’s favorite brand which was recently busted for misleading “natural” labels. The overuse of pestic... read more
Peace Movement Needs To Demand Dismantling Of NATO
During World War II an “unnatural alliance” was created between the United States, Great Britain, and the former Soviet Union. What brought the three countries together—the emerging imperial giant (the United States), the declining capitalist power (Great Britain), and the first socialist state (the Soviet Union)—was the shared need to defeat fascism in Europe. Rhetorically, the high point of collaboration was reflected in the agreements made at the Yalta Conference, in February 1945, three months before the German armies were defeated. At Yalta, the great powers made decisions to... read more
Obama Wants Censorship
On April 21, 2022 former president Barack Obama gave a speech at Stanford University on the subject of social media. In typical Obamaesque fashion, he didn’t state his point plainly. He used a lot of time, more than an hour, to advocate for social media censorship. He only used that word once, in order to deny that it was in fact what he meant, but the weasel words and obfuscation couldn’t hide what Obama was talking about. In 2016 when Hillary Clinton lost to Donald Trump, the candidate she thought easiest to beat, Obama first presented his lament about “disinformation” and “fake... read more

The Rainbow You Should Never Eat! THESE Artificial Colors Can Raise Your Cancer Risk…
I must have been a strange kid, because the extreme colors of the Rainbow Wonder bread or Superman ice cream did not look appetizing. For many kids across the U.S., however, the bright colors are what attract them to the foods they eat: baked goods, cereal, candies and snacks. And they have no idea the negative health these “foods” will have on them. Artificial dyes are known to cause hyperactivity and behavioral problems in children, and the United Kingdom has banned a few of the most toxic colorings like Yellow 5, Yellow 6, and Red 40 (other European countries have to put a warni... read more

The War in Ethiopia has been made worse by our focus on Ukraine
"Footage and news coverage of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has been all-encompassing.
