Zack Beauchamp at Vox has a very clear explanation of why the $400 million the US paid to Iran in January was not a ransom for hostages.

The fact is that the Obama administration dodged a likely ruling by an arbitration court against the United States that could have awarded Iran as much as $10 billion.   Continue reading “Obama not only did not pay Iran Ransom, he denied Iran Billions it had Coming to It”

We need to go beyond Left and Right to found an anti-Banker party. Dr Michael Hudson.

Republicans are used to unfair reporting from the news media because the press in the US is mostly Jewish owned and both pro-Israel and pro-Wall Street. But this year has been rather astounding. When Bernie Sanders supporters converged on Debbie Wasserman Schultz to blame her for rigging the primaries for Hillary, MSNBC said 99% applauded the former head of the DNC. I saw the raw video of Sanders supporters booing her and yelling, “Bernie. Bernie.” The TV audience never saw the anti-Hillary protesters outside the convention center chanting, “Lock her up! Lock her up!”   Continue reading “Either Give Fair Coverage Or We Pull Your FCC Licenses!”

During the Democratic National Convention, the office of Philadelphia’s most powerful construction union stood out, decked in an enormous sign declaring “Hillary for President.” But on Friday morning, the union headquarters captured public attention for a different reason: a yellow Penske semi-truck parked on the curb outside, packed with dozens of boxes of evidence lugged out of the office by federal agents.   Continue reading “Feds Raid Home, Office, Pub of Philly Union Boss Tied to DNC and Clinton”

“He was the closest person in the world to me,” she says. “The person who knew me better than anybody else.

Sent to us by a reader: This finance/government collaboration explains the American elites’ love affair with international socialism. They don’t know how to make money any other way. Competition is a sin. Government organized monopolies are profitable when you control the government. If there are no national restrictions on moving profits around, they can hide their loot offshore. The perfect crime.

What’s in a name? Sometimes prophecy on par with Nostradamus.

Born in 1956, Barry Lee Bush was christened with an ideal name for an assassin.  The middle name ‘Lee’ is, of course, the name of the man considered the ultimate patsy in American history, forever at the center of the ‘executive action’ immortalized in the JFK shooting in Dallas.  Then we have the surname ‘Bush’, as in George Herbert Walker Bush, who is said to have been standing in front of the Texas Book Depository on 22 November 1963.  There is an online photo of the steps of that building at the time of the shooting, and in the group of people on the steps is a man who looks precisely like GHW Bush.  And then there’s Barry as in Barry Soetoro Barack Obama, who authorized a worldwide assassination program and is the first president to support targeted killing of American citizens.   Continue reading “The Bush, Shark, Trump Tower Plot – Real Or Memorex?
