i suspect there's something of a pattern here;

the video is about three minutes long and shows how israel works to prevent evidence of their crimes becoming public;

 pcr shows us how we ignore reality and what the costs are, and may be;


In the 1950s and 1960s the United States was a vibrant society. Upward mobility was strong, and the middle class expanded. During the 1970s the internal contradiction in Keynesian demand management resulted in stagflation. Reagan’s supply-side economic policy cured that. With a sound economy under him, Reagan was able to pressure the Soviet government, which was unable to solve its economic problem, to negotiate the end of the cold war.
This happy development was not welcomed by powerful forces, both in the US and Soviet Union. In the US the powerful military/security complex was unhappy about losing the Soviet Threat, under the auspices of which its budget and power had soared. Right-wing superpatriot conservatives accused Reagan of selling out America by trusting the Soviets. The American rightwing portrayed President Reagan as the grade-two movie actor dupe of “cunning communists.”
In the Soviet government Gorbachev faced a larger problem. With trust established between the two nuclear powers, Gorbachev released the Soviet hold on Eastern Europe. Hardline elements in the Soviet Communist Party saw too much change too rapidly and concluded that Gorbachev had sold out the Soviet Union to Washington. This conclusion resulted in Gorbachev’s arrest, and the consequence of his arrest was the collapse of the Soviet Union and the Communist Party.
With communism departed, the Russians forgot all of Marx’s lessons about capitalism and naively concluded that we were all now friends. The Yeltsin government opened to American advice and, by naively accepting American advice, Russia was looted and reduced to penury. Russia under Yeltsin became an American puppet state, and the Russian people paid for it with a great reduction in their living standard.

the author provides a few more witnesses to the crime we've all been told isn't;


One of the most fascinating aspects of the Kennedy assassination has been “anti-conspiracy theorists,” especially within the mainstream press. People are so scared of being labeled a “conspiracy theorist” that they will do everything they can to avoid making a careful examination of the circumstantial evidence pointing toward a national-security regime-change operation in Dallas on November 22, 1963.
Consider, for example, Saundra Spencer, who I discuss both in my book The Kennedy Autopsy and in my current, ongoing video-podcast series on the JFK assassination.
Spencer was a U.S. Navy petty officer who was serving in the U.S. Navy’s photography lab in Washington D.C., in November 1963. She had a top-secret security clearance. Her job included the development of classified photographs. She worked closely with the White House. It would be virtually impossible to find a more credible and competent witness than Saundra Spencer. No one has ever questioned her veracity, integrity, and competence.
As most everyone knows, when someone in the military acquires what is known as “classified information,” he is required to keep it secret for the rest of his life, even if he leaves the military. Every member of the U.S. military — indeed, every employee of the U.S. national-security establishment — knows that if he ever breaches the secrecy principle, he is subject to severe punishment.
In the 1990s, Spencer was summoned to testify before the Assassination Records Review Board, the commission charged with enforcing the JFK Records Act, which forced the U.S. national-security establishment to disclose its records relating to the JFK assassination to the public.

i sometimes feel like a tape loop in describing kunstler and paul craig roberts in their writing. everything i see from both seems better each time than the last, or is that senility on my part.
kunstler hits it out of the park in this one i believe;





History has a velocity of its own, and its implacable forces will drag the good, the bad, the clueless, the clever, the guilty, the innocent, the avid, and the unwilling to a certain fate. One can easily see a convergence of vectors shoving the nation toward political criticality this autumn.
Mr. Trump is like some unfortunate dumb brute of the ancient Teutonic forests with a bulldog clamped to his nose, the rest of the pack close behind snapping at his hamstrings and soft, swaying underbelly. His desperate bellowing goes unanswered by the indifference of the trees in forest, the cold moon above, and all the other furnishings of his tragic reality.
As these things tend to happen, it looks like the exertions of Robert Mueller have turned from the alleged grave offenses of a foreign enemy to the sequela of consort with a floozie. Down goes Mr. Trump’s private attorney, Michael Cohen, in his personal swamp of incriminating files and audio recordings. Enter, stage left, one David Pecker, publisher of the venerable National Enquirer — the newspaper of wreckage — on his slime-trail of induced testimony. And there is your impeachable offense: an illegal campaign contribution.
One way or another, as Blondie used to sing, I’m gonna getcha, getcha, getcha.
Some in this greatest of all possible republics may be asking themselves if this is quite fair play, given the hundreds of millions of dollars washed-and-rinsed through the laundromat known as the Clinton Foundation, and related suspicious doings in that camp of darkness. But remember, another president, Jimmy Carter, once declared to the shock of official Washington that “life is unfair.”

i've got lots of word docs in various states of completion and have begun to take those pieces and post them here, as my local electronic fishwrap, once the destination of these thoughts has limited me to one appearance every two months.

Everything Teddy Roosevelt fought for is, as it was when he arrived; conservation is abandoned in favor of rich men making money, and they run rampant over the nation for their own benefit at our expense, predatory wealth takes priority over the public good, elections are a farce as easily demonstrated in many examples but the hildabeest’s rape of Bernie’s campaign is a great example, citizens united, eminent domain, proven prosecutorial misconduct, politicians openly acting against public sentiment and around fifty dual Israeli/America citizens supposedly acting to represent who?

You’d think ‘consumers’ would question all they’re fed and suspect ‘our free press’ might get it wrong.

Americans act like battered wives in their defense of a multitude of government actions against their interests and in very immoral ways but the religious still support them. If any other country was shooting civilians like Israel does America would have invaded by now.

‘Consumers’ prefer the fantasy sold on nightly ‘news’ to reality.

We’ve murdered and stolen our way around the world doing what we accuse those we invade of doing. We’re trapped between who we are and who we want to be but can’t do right until we know who we really are. We are what we do.

The Empire is the most dangerous illegal rogue state empire in human history. Among the damning facts: People around the world view America as the greatest threat to peace; voted three  times more dangerous than any other country. The Empire is the most dangerous illegal rogue state empire in human history. Since WW2, Earth has had 248 armed conflicts. America started 201 of them. These American attacks have killed about 30 million and counting; 90% of these deaths are innocent children, the elderly and ordinary working women and men.  Since Operation O.I.L. (Operation Iraqi Liberation; which was the oligarchs’ first name), 2.4 million Iraqis have been killed as a direct result. 

 its 1984 and in this version its the 'private' corporations that lead the charge into censorship, though behind it all are politicians telling them they have to with the alternative being government involvement in their daily activities, if they aren't already doing so. the frogs may have noticed the water is steadily getting warmer;


One year ago this week, the World Socialist Web Site published an open letter to search monopoly Google demanding that it end its censorship of the internet.
The letter documented that a change in Google’s search algorithms that the company claimed was aimed at promoting “authoritative” news sources had led to a substantial decline in search traffic to left-wing, socialist and anti-war sites. Google, the letter from WSWS International Editorial Board Chairperson David North stated, was “engaged in political censorship of the Internet.”
One year later, it is clear that the allegations against Google were both correct and extremely prescient. The measures taken by Google initiated a sweeping system of corporate-state censorship adopted by all the US technology monopolies, including Facebook and Twitter. A campaign that began under the pretext of combatting “Russian meddling” and “fake news” is ever more openly targeting left-wing views.
The latest and most extreme attack on democratic rights came Tuesday when Facebook announced that it has removed hundreds of user accounts and pages, many opposing the crimes of the American, Saudi, and Israeli governments in the Middle East, claiming they were the result of “influence campaigns” by Iran and Russia.
Some of the accounts purported to be “American liberals supportive of US Senator Bernie Sanders,” who expressed “support for Palestinians and opposition to Israel,” according to FireEye, the cybersecurity firm, heavily staffed by former intelligence operatives, with whom Facebook coordinated the deletions.
