Syrian 'Chemical Victims' Suffered from Dust Inhalation, Reports Say

Syrian 'Chemical Victims' Suffered from Dust Inhalation, Reports Say

Fisk: On the ground in Duma.White Helmets: Bused out of Duma with jihadists.April 19, 2018 at 16:37The US can make chemical weapons stories “real” anytime they want. Trump suddenly appointed Bolton about two weeks before the alleged “chemical weapons” attack. Was that appointment a coincidence?At this point I would not put it passed Trump to send out code words to the White Helmets to start their hoax play. Last time, the code words were “no regime change in Syria.” One day later, chemical weapons attack. This time it was , “we are withdrawing from Syria”. One day later, chemical weapons...

America Celebrates Lateral Move From Monarchy To Corporate Rule

America Celebrates Lateral Move From Monarchy To Corporate Rule

Americans celebrate their independence 242 years ago today from Britain with little thought it seems about who rules them now, comments Caitlin Johnstone.This was originally published on Medium.July 13, 2018 at 14:24But if it’s legal, is it corruption? To paraphrase Nixon, “if the monarch does it it’s not corruption”July 9, 2018 at 08:57Libertarianism leads to Oligarchy, guaranteed.Remember that if you are ever tempted to vote for a Libertarian.July 8, 2018 at 17:32Things really went corporate in the 1880s when the courts in California ruled that corporations are people.

RAY McGOVERN: Trump Orders Russiagate Documents Declassified

RAY McGOVERN: Trump Orders Russiagate Documents Declassified

I have fully authorized the total Declassification of any & all documents pertaining to the single greatest political CRIME in American History, the Russia Hoax. Likewise, the Hillary Clinton Email Scandal. No redactions!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump)  October 9, 2020 at 09:47Ray, very likely, you are correct that Trump’s panicky efforts to get necessary information/evidence about who was behind Russiagate into public awareness will be stymied.Thus, Russiagate, and those behind it, will prevail, will become an acceptable part of the Official History.A Biden “win” will...

RAY McGOVERN: Turn Out the Lights, Russiagate is Over

RAY McGOVERN: Turn Out the Lights, Russiagate is Over

May 22, 2020 at 00:54Ray, what about Judge Emmett Sullivan?May 21, 2020 at 16:16Thank you, Excellent Consortium News People.While reading the comments relative to your excellent articles I keep being amazed how so many commentators can be so confused about what is wrong with the USA Government Voting system when, the following issues are facts.1. There is only one branch of Government in the USA which Democratics and Republicans (joined at the hip) share and represent. While the CIA, FBI, and all the other secret service agencies do the dirty work for filthy rich Oligarchs and the system...

Anatomy of a Chemical Attack

Anatomy of a Chemical Attack

Mattis: “Yes, yesterday.”April 20, 2018 at 13:40Both Trump and Mattis are liars. Neither knew if chemicals were used or if Assad was involved. Trump relied on White Helmet fraudulent accounts. Vanessa Beesley has established them and their sponsors as disreputable. Trump intended to embarrass Putin who seems reluctant to retaliate against the US with force. Russian hesitancy is probably connected to their experience from the Soviet support of the Communist government in Afghanistan at the time.April 18, 2018 at 01:18Lo and behold, “resurgent” proxy Team B suddenly needs “going after”April...

Trump Falls in Line with Interventionism

Trump Falls in Line with Interventionism

Exclusive: President Trump’s U.N. speech showed that despite his America First rhetoric, his policies are virtually the same as the neocon strategies of George W. Bush and liberal interventionism of Barack Obama, says Robert Parry.By Robert ParryIn discussing President Trump, there is always the soft prejudice of low expectations – people praise him for reading from a Teleprompter even if his words make little sense – but there is no getting around the reality that his maiden address to the United Nations General Assembly must rank as  one of the most embarrassing moments in America’s...

NYT's Assault on Press Freedom

NYT's Assault on Press Freedom

October 29, 2017 at 5:23 pmIt is clear and has been for years that the mainstream media in this country serves as a propaganda organ for entities that do not have the best interests of the U.S. at heart. Of foremost importance one should take notice of the fact that no major news organization in this country dares to print information that puts Israel in a bad light, regardless of the facts. The NYT has acted to banish outright from itspages information that portrays Israel as a brutal occupying power that behaves in barbaric fashion to a captive people And when the NYT does not actually...

Corporate Media's About-Face on Ukraine’s Neo-Nazis

Europe Shows a Polarized Supreme Court is Not Inevitable

Europe Shows a Polarized Supreme Court is Not Inevitable

The U.S. Supreme Court is riven by political division and the nomination process riddled by partisan battles, unlike Europe’s highest courts, argues David Orentlicher. July 20, 2018 at 06:07Forgive me the intrusion butI thought the problem with the supreme court is that it is populated too much by right wing ideologues?July 12, 2018 at 21:48One wouldn’t think that judicial decisions would be partisan but….. The big problem in the US is that the courts seem to be the battleground for groups who wish to see their social agendas codified into precedent. Most of the big issues I see as...
