DC Exposed – by Ed Brown 

On September 6th Andy Borowitz, writing for The New Yorker, published an article titled  G20 ENDS ABRUPTLY AS OBAMA CALLS PUTIN A JACKASS which has caused quite a stir on social media. He claimed that U.S. President Barack Obama went on a name calling tirade, hurling insults at his Russian nemesis Vladimir Putin.

The article is pure satire but from the activity I’ve witnessed on facebook and twitter, many people are under the impression that it’s fact and that’s a shame because nothing could be further from the truth. How do I know this? Because there isn’t one single news outlet besides The New Yorker with a corroborating story – and trust me, if it was true every news site on the web would be running it!   Continue reading “Did Obama Really Call Putin a Jackass? No. – The Consequences of Political Satire”

Israel’s response to Obama’s surprise move to delay or even possibly cancel air strikes made clear that connection: looking soft on Assad after accusing him of killing hundreds of people with chemical weapons may embolden his backers in Tehran to develop nuclear arms, Israeli officials said. And if they do, Israel may strike Iran alone, unsure Washington can be trusted.   Continue reading “Did Israel just Declare War on the United States of America? “Take Out Syria or We Attack Iran” – Netanyahu”

Retired Army Gen. David H. Petraeus, former CIA director under President Barack Obama, called strongly Saturday for Congress to back the White House on Syria, declaring that military action against the regime is “necessary” to deter “Iran, North Korea and other would-be aggressors.”

“Failure of Congress to approve the president’s request would have serious ramifications not just in the Mideast but around the world,” Petraeus said in a four-sentence statement provided to POLITICO.   Continue reading “Petraeus calls on Congress to back White House on Syria”

No, it’s not the brown acid passed around at a 1960s rock concerts.Hydrofluoric acid is the most dangerous chemical you’ve never heard of, and it’s being trucked around California’s back roads and injected into oil wells, with virtually no oversight.

How bad is it? HF acid is extremely toxic; it can immediately and permanently damage lungs if inhaled, and a spill on skin is easily absorbed deep into the body’s tissues and changes bone calcium atoms to fluorine atoms.   Continue reading “Why Oil Companies Want to Drop Acid in California”

As low-wage workers are staging walk outs for raises, one Pennsylvania woman who had been earning $9 an hour won a small, but little-noticed victory against her employer.

Following two consecutive posts on Syria, one reader asked “Can we get back to economics Mish?”

That’s an interesting question given that my discussion never left economics!

• How can one talk about Europe without discussing the politics of the euro?
• How can one discuss economics without discussing the politics of war and its effect on oil prices?   Continue reading “Separating Politics and War From Oil and the Economy”

The New American –  by  Joe Wolverton, II, J.D.

Although he probably can’t hear it over the sound of the war drum he’s constantly beating, the bell is tolling louder and louder for Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.).

A coalition of Tea Party-affiliated groups from across South Carolina has approved a 29-point condemnation of Graham, calling for his replacement with someone committed to the Constitution.   Continue reading “S.C. Tea Party Targets Lindsey Graham; Constitutionalist Challenger Steps Up”

Zero Hedge – by Tyler Durden

While the world was glued to the developments in the Mediterranean in the past week, Poland took a page straight out of Rahm Emanuel’s playbook and in order to not let a crisis go to waste, announced quietly that it would transfer to the state – i.e., confiscate – the bulk of assets owned by the country’s private pension funds (many of them owned by such foreign firms as PIMCO parent Allianz, AXA, Generali, ING and Aviva), without offering any compensation. In effect, the state just nationalized roughly half of the private sector pension fund assets, although it had a more politically correct name for it: pension overhaul.   Continue reading “Poland Confiscates Half Of Private Pension Funds To “Cut” Sovereign Debt Load”

2012: What is the Real Truth

The attempt to start a war in Syria, the sudden spike in radiation at Fukushima, threats by Saudi Arabia to wage terror on the coming Russian Olympic Games and other unusual world events are part of a long ago planned bigger plot to start a fascist world government.

Fortunately for us all, the plot is unraveling and the Sabbatean Nazis behind it are now very, very scared. That is why US corporate government slave Barak Obama is now the laughing stock of the world for his attempt to get the US military to support Al Qaeda based on obvious lies.   Continue reading “Ben Fulford: Connecting the dots between Syria, Fukushima, Olympic terror threats and the Nazi CIA, September 3, 2013”
