you may know by now that i like paul craig roberts and much of what he has to say. as a former reagan cabinet official he has credibility that 'our' government can't deny and speaks truth to power on a regular basis, as in this piece about the crimes being committed against venezuela;
Washington has chosen a president for Venezuela. I wonder if Trump saw the black humor in doing to Maduro what the Democrats and presstitutes are doing to him.
Few Latin American governments have ever had a government that represents the majority indigenous people or a president who was not of Spanish descent. Chavez in Venezuela perhaps was the longest lasting indigenous leader. His successor Maduro is also indigenous.
Indigenous Latin American leaders are unacceptable to Washington, because they tend to be reformers who represent their country’s people instead of American business and financial interests. Consequently, when a Latin electorate elects a leader who will put them first, Washington overthrows the leader. This is the history of US/Latin American relations.
In the 21st century alone Washington has overthrown the elected presidents of Honduras, Argentina, Brazil and Venezuela and overturned the independence of Ecuador that had provided asylum protection for Julian Assange. Washington’s coup with the Spanish elite against Chavez in Venezuela initially succeeded. Chavez was in captivity, but before he could be murdered the Venezuelan people and military forced his release.
Chavez, either because he lacked the power to move against the traitorous Spanish elite or because he chose to display magnanimity, did not hold those responsible who participated in the coup against his life and Venezuelan sovereignty. Washington’s agents, the Spanish elite, were not arrested and retained their control over the media and the economy. Venezuela has substantial oil revenues, but they do not reach the government’s budget or protect the value of the currency. I do not know who controls the Venezuelan oil, but it appears the revenues are being stolen. As it seems unlikely the Spanish elites would permit the indigenous people to control the oil business, possibly the oil revenues are what funds, along with Washington, the anti-Maduro opposition. If the Maduro government is stealing the revenues, then the government is committing suicide.........https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2019/01/25/the-exceptional-nation-asserts-its-exceptionalism/

i find it amazing that the great mass of 'consumers', sheep that they are, can't think about all of the wars and enemies presented daily on their tv, and discover that maybe all of the crap we're sold might not be as its presented. i have neighbors, who were once close friends, who aren't anymore because i don't buy this nightly 'news' crap;
When I first learned about the Thirty
Years War in a history class in college, I was both fascinated and
amazed. How in the world could a war go on for 30 years? That just
seemed incomprehensible to me.
Not anymore. The U.S. war on Afghanistan
has now been going on for 17 years. And if the American people follow
the advice of Michael E. O’Hanlon, a senior fellow at the Brookings
Institution, it’s a virtual certainty that the United States will easily
surpass the Thirty Years War and, maybe, the Hundred Years War, which
needless to say, also amazed and fascinated me when I learned about its
existence.
I can just see Americans 83 years from
now breaking the 100-year-war record and exclaiming in celebration,
“We’re Number One! We’re Number One! KAG! KAG! Keep America Great!”
O’Hanlon’s advice comes in the form of an op-ed in yesterday’s New York Times. It’s entitled “Our Longest War Is Still an Important War.” In his op-ed, O’Hanlon says that it is important that U.S. troops remain occupying Afghanistan, perhaps even in perpetuity.
Why does O’Hanlon feel this way? The
thrust of his piece is a variation on the theme that has guided the
so-called war on terrorism ever since the 9/11 attacks way back in 2001—
that it’s better for U.S. forces to kill the terrorists over there
before they come over here to get us.
Not surprisingly, O’Hanlon ignores a very
important point about this “war on terrorism” — that it is U.S.
interventionism that is the cause of anti-U.S. terrorism.
Why is that important? Because the
continued and perhaps perpetual interventionism that he is endorsing
produces the very thing that he’s using to justify the continued
interventionism.............https://www.fff.org/2019/01/25/justifying-the-17-year-war/

kunstler seems, just about always, to hit his chosen nails squarely on their heads, and does so again as far as i'm concerned. the empire is disintegrating and most of its inhabitants can't be sure what end is up so come see what kunstler has to say about it;
Ill winds sweep across the fruited plain in the cruel heart of winter. America can resolve nothing. The state-of-the-union is a kind of hysterical nausea, and the nation hunkers into its crib of toxic diverse identities waiting for history to bitch-slap it back on its feet. History’s big sister, Reality, stands by, witnessing all. Spring… is… coming….
Things break up in spring. Nature unlocks what was frozen. The bodies emerge from the melting ice and ripen. The air is electric and thunderbolts frighten the gathering mobs in the public square, the Walmart parking lot, with rumors of war. The earth shakes and monuments fall. That’s how it’s shaping up for 2019.
Sometimes nations just lose their shit. The complex collapse of American life proceeds as the public and its leaders fail to comprehend the forces in play. What the Federal Reserve actually accomplished with its ten years of extend-and-pretend policy was not an economic “recovery,” but a degenerative disease of the social contract. If you look more closely, you can sense what will be unleashed when the ground thaws.
There will be a reckoning in the financial markets. Something ominous is rumbling over in bonds. No more high-yield for you! Among the victims of a credit freeze in “junk” (high-risk) lending: the shale oil industry. Watch it start to roll over this spring as money becomes unavailable for the exorbitant operations that comprise fracking. The swift collapse of the shale oil industry will shock the country, but it is really just the downside of its improbably rapid and acrobatic rise since 2005 on the false premise that profits don’t matter in a business venture. Only the fall will be even sharper than the rise: a few measly years. And, of course, the bond market represents the supreme untruth of the age: that debts can be racked up forever and never paid back............http://kunstler.com/clusterfuck-nation/in-the-deep-mid-winter/

since i started this blog i believe i've re-posted everything from this site. my degree is quite close to qualifying for being a dietician so i know many of what is in this article is true, and then there's more that's new for me, so proceed as if you were a smart individual and make your own conclusions;
The following is a non-technical introduction to the amazing biochemist Dr Rhonda Patrick. She can save your life. We will especially need her after the coming financial crisis kills the Sick Care system we presently have.
The first thing she recommends is to get a blood analysis to see your deficiencies. A Magnesium deficiency can kill you. A Calcium deficiency can kill you. A Vitamin D deficiency will shorten your lifespan. You wouldn’t treat your car like you do your body.
In the US 70% are deficient in Vitamin D, 60% in Vitamin E, Magnesium 45%, Calcium 38%, Vitamin K 35%, Vitamin A 34%, Vitamin C 24%, Zinc, Vitamin B6 and Folic Acid all at 8%. Magnesium makes the enzymes that ATP requires to energize your body. Magnesium also makes 2,000 enzymes that allows your heart to repeatedly beat. Calcium is required for every muscle contraction including your heart. Folate is a precursor to making new DNA for a stem cell. Vitamin K is required for blood clotting. But it is also needed to pull calcium from the blood and send it to the bones. Vitamin D is a steroid and is needed for the expression 1,000 genes. D also makes serotonin. The majority of Americans are deficient in one or more of the above nutrients. She takes 4,000 IU of vitamin D-3 daily. Make sure you have adequate Iodine.
Hint from Dr Patrick: About those blood test results, physicians do not measure the size of LDL particles before they prescribe money making drugs from Big Pharma.
(When you get the results of your blood test, your doctor might think the minimum levels needed for good health are OK. But those numbers come from a government that is financially incapable of paying you a pension so the people who own the government would be far better served if you died before collecting what is owed to you. My other point is to pay no attention to anything about high blood pressure and cholesterol until you read my first article in references below. Anything in parenthesis is my opinion and not necessarily hers.)............https://vidrebel.wordpress.com/2019/01/24/dr-rhonda-patrick-can-save-your-life/#comments
