the author of this exploration of the end of the empire shows you some things you may not have considered;


Way back when the West was pressuring the apartheid government to commit suicide on behalf of its people, they did a remarkable thing. They sequestered their nuclear program, making sure the information and material would not fall into the hands of whatever came after apartheid. It was remarkable, because no other state has voluntarily abandoned its program for the good of the world. Governments just don’t do that, but the South Africans did and a huge potential problem down the line was averted.
The reason this is worth thinking about is there are other unstable states, with lots of military technology. Pakistan is an obvious example. There is a better than even chance they have sold nuclear technology to other Muslim governments. They have most certainly been working with North Korea. Israel has nuclear weapons and they have advanced delivery systems. These are two countries that could fall into chaos or have their government overthrown. It’s not likely at the moment, but it is possible.
A bigger concern is America. There’s no getting around the fact that America is in bad shape in many important ways. The wizards in the Federal Reserve have been able to use creative ways to maintain the debt bubble, but everything comes to an end eventually. The demographic changes going on in the country are creating very serious fissures regionally, ethnically and economically. Just look at how aggressive and radical the political talk is these days. America looks very brittle right now........http://thezman.com/wordpress/?p=16318

two appearances by caitlin today after the meme previously posted. it seems that opposing the empire's hypocrisy is a bad thing because, of course, you know they have our best interests at heart;


The other day Hawaii congresswoman and Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard came out with what remains the strongest rejection of the Trump administration’s regime change interventionism in Venezuela out of anyone likely to run for the presidency in 2020.
“The United States needs to stay out of Venezuela,” Gabbard tweeted. “Let the Venezuelan people determine their future. We don’t want other countries to choose our leaders–so we have to stop trying to choose theirs.”
Boom. Unambiguous, unequivocal, and without any of the “Yeah Maduro is an evil monster, but” modifiers that other officials (including Bernie Sanders) have been prefacing their feeble objections to Trump’s campaign to topple the Venezuelan government with. Which of course outraged all the usual war pundits, including the Washington Post‘s most reliable military-industrial complex fluffer Josh Rogin.
“Again, @TulsiGabbard shares the same foreign policy position as Russia and the Assad regime,” Rogin tweeted in response to Gabbard’s statement. “It’s probably just a coincidence.........https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2019/01/31/the-single-stupidest-argument-in-the-entire-stupid-salad-of-russiagate/

there's a three minute video at this link with the copy below showing you things you may wish to know;


So let me get this straight: The Russians brought America to its knees with a few facebook ads, but Uncle Sam’s concerted and ongoing efforts to overthrow governments around the world and interfere with elections is perfectly fine? Because…democracy? Riiiiiiight............https://www.corbettreport.com/election-interference-is-ok-when-uncle-sam-does-it-propagandawatch/

the words accompanying this meme were; since when do we allow a foreign state, in this case israel, to dictate what we can, and can't say about them;

a tiny step towards educating the 'consumer' about his situation;

there's a meme heading this article i attempted to paste here but it refused to paste so you'll have to follow the link for that, as the writer creates an introduction into why 'our' government isn't ours;

The great crime that was 9/11 was conceived and initiated by a matrix encompassing and (politically) led by the NeoCon think-tank that called itself the “Project for the New American Century”. This organisation published a document entitled “Rebuilding Anerica’s Defences” in which it openly recommended that the USA should pursue “total global military domination”. The document also said that attending to such a goal would be difficult without, “… some catastrophic and catalysing event – like a new Pearl Harbour.”

(watch this excellent “9/11 War Promises” documentary)

As we all know, the Neocons got their ‘new Pearl Harbour’ and as a result young Americans were posted all over the Middle East to fight and die to establish this domination. But whose interests did all these wars serve? Certainly not the interests of the American people.

As with the Bolsheviks in Russia, the NeoCons CARE NOTHING about the well-being of ordinary Americans. The Trump presidency has demonstrated clearly that these people HATE ordinary Americans.

This is so obvious it is not worth arguing the case.

The NeoCons are Trotskyists. They are neither Conservatives nor ‘Democrats’. They are an alien force that infiltrated a political system and succesfully took it over.............http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/?p=182982

two minute video showing what is happening in france these days that 'our free press' doesn't show you so you might wonder why;
