Jamal Ahmad Khashoggi is a Saudi journalist and author who went missing on October 2, 2018.

On October 19, Saudi Arabia confirmed the death of Khashoggi, claiming that he died after a “fight” took place inside of the Turkish consulate. Though the Saudis have set up a commission to investigate Khashoggi’s death, it is, according to many American publications, a far cry from admitting what the extensive evidence points to: that the crown prince of Saudi Arabia was complicit in the torture and murder of the journalist.  Continue reading “Jamal Khashoggi’s Family: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know”

An employee of a leading Washington DC think tank has reportedly taken credit for the resent purge of alternative media by Facebook and Twitter, claiming it to be necessary to fight against ‘fake news’ from Russia and China.

In the latest act of apparent censorship of political speech online, US-based tech giants this month shut down hundreds of user accounts. Some belonged to well-established alternative media outlets with hundreds of thousands of followers, like The Free Thought Project or The Anti Media. A senior fellow at the German Marshall Fund, a leading think tank advocating US global supremacy, seems to have at least partially taken credit for this.  Continue reading “Purge of alt-media by FB is ‘us pushing back, just a beginning’ – censorship insider”

We’re getting close to the end now. Can you feel it?  I do.  It’s in the news, on the streets, and in your face every day. You can’t tune it out anymore, even if you wanted to.

Where once there was civil debate in the court of public opinion, we now have censorship, monopoly, screaming, insults, demonization, and, finally, the use of force to silence the opposition. There is no turning back now. The political extremes are going to war, and you will be dragged into it even if you consider yourself apolitical.  Continue reading “The United States of Empire”

HARTFORD — – Internet blogger Harold “Hal” Turner’s attorney said today that Turner’s background as an FBI informant will be a key part of his defense to charges that he incited violence against two state legislators and a state ethics official.

Superior Court Judge David P. Gold on Tuesday authorized Michael A. Orozco, a New Jersey attorney, to represent Turner. Turner did not appear again in court Tuesday because he remains in federal custody without bail in Chicago, where he is accused of threatening three federal judges.   Continue reading “Flashback: FBI Trained Hal Turner As An “Agent Provocateur””

How in the world did a caravan of migrants that began with 200-or-so individuals grow to over 7,000 individuals in such a short amount of time? If you thought there were other forces at work organizing the caravan, you might not be as crazy as you’d think.

Israel is left with no choice but to unleash a military action against Hamas militants, Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman has threatened. The bellicose tirade comes amid reports the IDF are amassing tanks along the Gaza border.

“Wars are only conducted when there is no choice, and now there is no choice,” Lieberman told the parliament. Apparently anything less than the “toughest response” to Hamas is not being considered as Tel Aviv had “exhausted the other options.”  Continue reading “‘No choice but war’: Israel ‘exhausted all options’ in dealing with Hamas, says defense chief”
