After the United States was quick to point the finger at Iran for the early Saturday explosions that rocked Abqaiq facility and the Khurais field — forcing production to be shut and with it 5.7 million barrels a day of oil production lost — Iran has warned it stands ready for a “full-fledged” war.  Continue reading “We’re Ready For “Full-Fledged” War: Iran Responds To US Accusation It Launched Saudi Oil Attack”

Last month, Democratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke proposed a modest solution to the relentless tide of mass shootings: a mandatory buyback program for every AR-15 in the country. The View co-host Meghan McCain responded with a dire warning. “The AR-15 is by far the most popular gun in America, by far,” she told her fellow panelists. “I was just in the middle of nowhere Wyoming, if you’re talking about taking people’s guns from them, there’s going to be a lot of violence.” Continue reading “Conservatives: We’ll Spill Blood to Keep Our Guns”

Update 2: In a sharp, if perhaps not unexpected, escalation, US Secretary of State – now without John Bolton by his side – tweeted at 4pm on Saturday, that contrary to earlier reports, “there is no evidence the attacks came from Yemen” and instead accused Iran of launching today’s “unprecedented attack on the world’s energy supply” which has now indefinitely taken offline as much as 5mmb/d in Saudi crude production.  Continue reading “Oil To Hit $100?

It wasn’t akin to the US recognizing Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights, but on Saturday US President Trump extended an election gesture to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when he tweeted that he would meet the prime minister later this month and discuss an Israel-US security pact.

“I had a call today with Prime Minister Netanyahu to discuss the possibility of moving forward with a Mutual Defense Treaty, between the United States and Israel, that would further anchor the tremendous alliance between our two countries,” Trump tweeted. “I look forward to continuing those discussions after the Israeli Elections when we meet at the United Nations later this month!”  Continue reading “Trump discussed ‘Mutual Defense Treaty’ between Israel, U.S. with Netanyahu”

Big mega corporations are a new form of slavery.

People who see corporations as something normal have exactly the same mindset as the people in the 19^th Century who saw slavery as a normal, legitimate and just “peculiar” institution, far different from the very harsh slave systems existing in other countries, and that southern slavery had no impact on those living in northern states.  Continue reading “The Corporation: A Peculiar Institution”

Joshua Wong has recently been doing some flyin’ around and hobnobbing with the rich, famous and powerful. He went to Berlin and met with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and other ‘pro-democracy’ figures like Mayor of Kiev Vitaly Klitschko, who was for awhile himself a Western favorite when the US was actively involved in the color revolution in Ukraine. While there, Wong met with Raed Al Saleh, the head of the White Helmets. For those who don’t know, the White Helmets are a Western propaganda construct with close links to terrorist groups such as Al Qaeda and Jahbat Al Nusra  (now known as Tahrir Al Sham). What would a supposedly organic grassroots movement leader in China have in common with a Syrian war organization? On the surface, nothing; under the surface, everything; they are both propaganda and destabilization tools of Western (US-UK) foreign meddling and interference.   Continue reading “Hong Kong Protest Leader Hangs Out with White Helmets Boss”

Democrat presidential hopeful Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) vowed Thursday to create an office which would combat the “problem of white supremacy” during the third round of Democrat presidential debates in Houston, Texas.

“Racism exists. The question isn’t who is racist, it’s who is and isn’t doing something about racism,” Booker said. “This isn’t an issue that just started yesterday. It’s not just an issue that we hear a president that can’t condemn white supremacy.”  Continue reading “Cory Booker Vows to Create Office to Combat White Supremacy”
