Neocons’ Aggression Towards Sovereign States Destroying Earth

by Paul Craig Roberts My warning that the neoconservatives have resurrected the threat of nuclear Armageddon, which was removed by Reagan and Gorbachev, is also being given by Noam Chomsky, former US Secretary of Defense William Perry, and other sentient observers of the neoconservatives’ aggressive policies toward Russia and China.  Daily we observe additional aggressive actions taken by Washington and its vassals against Russia and China. For example, Washington is pressuring Kiev not to implement the Minsk agreements designed to end the conflict between the puppet government in Kiev and the break-away Russian republics. Washington refuses to cooperate with Russia in the war against ISIS. Washington continues to blame Russia for the… View Article

By LOIS BECKETT OVER the past two decades, the majority of Americans in a country deeply divided over gun control have coalesced behind a single proposition: The sale of assault weapons should be banned. That idea was one of the pillars of the Obama administration’s plan to curb gun violence, and it remains popular with the public. In a poll last December, 59 percent of likely voters said they favor a ban. But in the 10 years since the previous ban lapsed, even gun control advocates acknowledge a larger truth: The law that barred the sale of assault weapons from… View Article

By later the same day, back in 2008, Stéphane Dion was frantically backtracking. “A Liberal government will never, never cause a deficit,” he vowed.

Trudeau’s plan to borrow our way to wealth is looking crazier all the time

     By Tasha Kheiriddin More from Tasha Kheiriddin available here. If you can’t hit the target, change the target. That seems to be the new Liberal mantra on everything from resettling Syrian refugees to reinstating home mail delivery to running “modest” deficits. While some adjustments in policy (such as extending the refugee timetable) are prudent, others are not — such as piling up more and more debt that eventually will have to be paid back, and that will cost taxpayers ever more in debt servicing along the way. But never fear — there’s a way to sell that dodge too…. View Article

US Pilots in Syria Ordered to Ignore ISIS Oil Convoys

According to reports, U.S. pilots in Syria have ‘flown over oil tanker convoys 4 lanes wide at times and been told to stay silent’ Rudy Panko American officials and responsible western news pundits have had a hard time explaining why the U.S.-led “anti-ISIS” coalition, after more than one year, has been unable to stop ISIS’ lucrative oil smuggling operation. Maybe because they were never trying to stop it in the first place? Via New Eastern Outlook: Reports from pilots and sources up and down the Pentagon chain of command tell an interesting story. Considering America’s years of experience at “precision bombing”… View Article
