President Trump Is Right; John McCain Was a Fascist Genocidal Monster
The media on March 21, 2019 is full of rage at Donald Trump for calling out a dead man, Senator John McCain. Their legend for the day is that an enraged President is kicking a corpse carrying all the possible military medals of the United States on his burial suit. The President, they say, has violated every protocol of official Washington. As usual, official Washington, complicit Republican U.S. Senators, and their attached media circus are lying, outrageously, to the American people. It is not that unexpected, since McCain famously referred to the media as his “base.” Hence, the... more »
'Shock & Awe'? 16 Years Later, Who Won The Iraq War?
This week marks 16 years since the US attacked an Iraq that had neither attacked nor threatened us. Claims that Iraq had WMDs were lies and the Bush Administration knew they were lies.

Goodbye to the Internet: Interference by Governments Is Already Here
[image: undefined] There is a saying attributed to the French banker Nathan Rothschild that "Give me control of a nation's money and I care not who makes its laws." Conservative opinion in the United States has long suspected that Rothschild was right and there have been frequent calls to audit the Federal Reserve Bank based on the presumption that it has not always acted in support of the actual interests of the American people. That such an assessment is almost certainly correct might be presumed based on the 2008 economic crash in which the government bailed out the banks, which ... more »

Or is it a way for him to communicate directly to the world without a hostile press spinning and distorting EVERYTHING that he says or writes?

The change of heart has a lot to do with the ANGER expressed by the corrupt, elite, lying, filthy, smug, sly mainstream media. If they hate something, it must, by its very nature, be good.

Review Iraq And Syria 1941, The Politics and Strategy of the Second World War
*Review Warner, Geoffrey, **Iraq And Syria 1941, The Politics and Strategy of the Second World War**, Cranbury: Associated University Presses, 1979* When people think of World War II in the Middle East they inevitably refer to the German General Irwin Rommel versus the British in North Africa. Few know that Iraq and Syria were involved in the conflict as well. That began with Hitler’s moves to seize Yugoslavia, Greece, Crete and the arrival of the Afrika Corps to Libya which led London to believe that Hitler was planning on seizing Egypt and the oil fields in Iraq and Iran.

The Stuff That Comes Out Of The Back End
In Ontario, it's getting wider and deeper.

I routinely taught classes of 36 to 38 students. The Minister has been smoking something funny. Kristi Rushowy writes: Thompso... more »
