Schiller Institute Conference in Germany Unites Those of Goodwill for Creating a New Paradigm
[image: Helga Zepp-LaRouche delivered the keynote address at the Schiller Institute Conference. November 16, 2019. (Screengrab)] Two events this past week demonstrate the two opposite futures facing mankind today. In Washington, the outrageous and self-evidently fraudulent impeachment investigation, run by the House Democrats and the corrupt intelligence and diplomatic officials left over from the failed presidencies of George Bush and Barack Obama, while boring most Americans with their inability to even name a crime being investigated, is nonetheless a dangerous continuation of th... more »

The homeless crisis and what it portends
In a recent interview, Doug Casey offers his perspective on the explosion of homelessness in parts of this country, and what it means. He doesn't mince his words. I see it as part of the continuing decline of Western civilization. The West has always been distinguished relative to the rest of the world by its order, its cleanliness, its respect for property rights. These things are all going by the wayside. We were a middle class society with “bourgeois” values, essentially Boy Scout virtues. But these things are now held in contempt, even while the middle class is being squeezed.... more »
Are you ready for a happy ending story?
Many years ago my daughter inherited her grandmother's deviled egg plate. Oh, the wonderful egg delicacies we enjoyed for Indiana holidays--I think they were made by grandpa Jim along with his oyster dressing. Anyway, last Thanksgiving, it broke in the dishwasher and she was crushed. So she started looking on the internet, but everything was just too Easter-ish or was colored glass/pottery, and the ONE was clear and plain. Finally, she saw one on e-Bay, and contacted the owner, who happened to live right here in central Ohio. He told her it was made in Indiana, so she had him send s... more »

Oil Exports And Revenues Decline For Iraq After OPEC Criticism
(Reuters) Iraq’s oil exports dropped in October 2019 after it was criticized by OPEC for violating its production quota.

Why are the Democrats so desperate to hid the "whistleblower's" name?
The Democrats are acting as though Antifa is a right wing group. In the last few years all the harassment and use of violence to shut down free speech has been by leftists like Antifa attacking Republicans and conservatives. White nationalist violence has generally been against Antifa not main stream Democrats. But main stream Democrats have urged their followers to drive Republicans out of gas stations and restaurants and either said that Antifa's use of violence to shut down free speech was good or avoided talking about Antifa at all.

Democrat DA's decriminalizing pissing in public
Apparently some Democrat DA's love the smell of urine on their walk to work and are eager to let their young daughters see adult men urinating in public because those DA's are working to make it perfectly legal to just piss on a busy sidewalk.

Interestingly as with all things leftist there are apparently two different standards vis a vis not paying any taxes. The NYT recently condemned FedEx for not paying any taxes in 2018.

To quell weeks of protest over extreme inequality, Chile's president has agreed to rewrite the country's constitution, passed in 1980 under the deadly military regime of Augusto Pinochet.
How rich people like Gordon Sondland buy their way to being US ambassadors – 4 questions answered
Dennis Jett, Professor of International Affairs, Pennsylvania State University at Politics + Society – The Conversation - 13 hours ago
The United States is the only developed, democratic country that has a political culture of selling ambassadorships.
"Impeachment" is about protecting and empowering Dems not crimes
There is a major US politician who should be impeached; but it's Joe Biden not Trump. Think about it. To date there is not a single witness with first hand knowledge who can link Trump to any crime. Yet we have Joe and Hunter Biden effectively admitting to corruption and misuse of power. Hunter Biden has admitted on TV that the only reason corrupt Ukraine company Burisma paid him $3.1 million was that he was Joe Biden's son. Joe Biden has admitted on TV that he used a quid pro quo--fire the prosecutor who just happens to be investigating Burisma or no foreign aid for you Ukraine-... more »

"This Will Be The Mother Of All Minsky Moments"
*"This Will Be The Mother Of All Minsky Moments"* by John Mauldin "We have all had the fun as kids of going to the beach and playing in the sand. Remember taking your plastic bucket and making sandpiles? Slowly pouring the sand into ever bigger piles, until one side of the pile starts to collapse? In his very important book "Ubiquity, Why Catastrophes Happen," Mark Buchamane wrote about an experiment with sand that three physicists named Per Bak, Chao Tang, and Kurt Wiesenfeld conducted in 1987. In their lab at Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York, they started building sand... more »
Should America Care That Russia Is Involved In Libya's War?
*Emily Estelle* *Security, * Russia is cleaning up America's mess. The U.S. has abandoned its partners in the fight against ISIS, and the Russians are capitalizing on the void. Middle Eastern rivals are duking it out to choose the government of a failed state, which collapsed into civil war after an Arab Spring revolution. Salafi-jihadi groups like ISIS and al Qaeda are preparing to stage a comeback in the chaos. Sound familiar? Libya cracked the crowded U.S. headlines this week with the news of growing Russian military intervention in the embattled North African country. Thous... more »
China's H-20 and JH-XX Stealth Bombers: Beijing's Very Own Deadly B-2 Bombers?
*David Axe* *Security, * What role will they have? Should America be worried? *Key Problem:* China’s aircraft industry remains reliant on foreign-sourced components for dependable, proven, high-performance aircraft engines. China is developing not one but two new stealth bombers, the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency claimed in a January 2019 report. While the People's Liberation Army has not been shy about discussing the H-20 strategic bomber that the Xian Aircraft Industrial Corporation is developing for the PLA Air Force, there are many fewer public references to the other st... more »
Russia Returns Three Seized Ukrainian Military Ships Before Summit
*DW: **Russia returns navy vessels seized from Ukraine* *Russian authorities have returned three Ukrainian military ships from their Crimean port to Ukraine. The navy vessels were seized during a clash in the Kerch Strait last year.* Three Ukrainian ships were returned on Monday almost a year after the Russian navy seized the vessels in the Kerch Strait.

Bribery: Democrats New Desperation Move
From the BlackSphere: Excerpts: Democrats have pretty much run out of runway. Their impeachment farce backfired worse than the Mueller testimony. Remember that guy? Democrats described Mueller as the most sage man in Washington, perhaps the world. But Mueller looked like Mr. Magoo once the Republicans finished with him. And where’s Bob “Waldo” Mueller today. Democrats don’t know and don’t care. Because they have a new shiny object: Ukraine. Ironically, Schiff believes he could transfer Joe and Hunter Biden’s quid pro quo to Trump. Understand that Biden announced publicly that he got... more »
Gutknecht: Let None Dare Call It Sedition
From AlphaNews and Former Rep. Gil Gutknecht: Excerpts: Respectfully, Mr. President, this is not a witch hunt. This is a coup. The objective and tactics have been clear from the start. It is no longer silent. The evidence grows daily. The recently released tweets from the attorney for the “whistleblower” confirmed what we have long believed. “Coup has started,” he wrote prophetically. Indeed it had. And it continues. The co-conspirators deserve much worse than to be sent packing in the next election. Long prison sentences are the only sure deterrent to prevent this from ever happeni... more »

Trump Wants South Korea to Pay More for U.S. Forces. Here Is What He Should Offer as a Sweetener.
*Robert E. Kelly* *Security, * One possible way to move beyond Trump’s ultimatum without an acrimonious breach is for greater Southern payments to accompany fewer U.S. restrictions on Southern military technology. For example, the South Korean Chosun Daily argues, that if Seoul contributes more money, why not release it from U.S. restrictions on solid fuel rocketry, missile ranges, and nuclear fuel? U.S. President Donald Trump is demanding America’s South Korean ally pay more for the stationing of U.S. forces here. Trump’s demand is, according to CNN, is a 400% increase for U.S.... more »
The Glock 17 Hasn't Been Adopted by the World's Armed Forces for 1 Reason
*Charlie Gao* *Security, * That safety issue. Despite the near-ubiquity of the Glock 17 in police forces around the world, surprisingly few nations have adopted the Glock 17 as a standard sidearm for their military forces. On the surface, this may seem surprising: the Glock was first adopted in the early 1980s, at a time when many militaries were replacing their 1940s or 1950s vintage sidearms with modern, high capacity double stack 9mm. But to those familiar with the military acquisition process and mindset, it’s hardly surprising. While Austria’s Bundesheer has always seemed ... more »

Its Achilles Heel
Doug Ford is setting himself up for failure. He's looking at province wide teachers' strikes because he has failed to learn the lessons of recent history. Martin Regg Cohn writes: Like Harris before him — and without learning the lessons of McGuinty after that — our current premier has set the stage for confrontation. With a difference. In their defence, the Liberals in 2012, like the PCs and NDP in the 1990s, were facing undeniable constraints — a recession, a runaway budget, and an economic crisis. Today’s Tories, not so much. To be sure, there is a debt overhang, but the defic... more »
McCulloch v. Maryland: Not Only Right, But Inevitable
For the symposium on David S. Schwartz, The Spirit of the Constitution: John Marshall and the 200-Year Odyssey of McCulloch v. Maryland (Oxford University Press, 2019). Victoria Nourse Don’t be fooled by the subtitle’s reference to John Marshall. David Schwartz’s eloquent and eminently readable book—*The Spirit of the Constitution*—is not simply a historical *tour de force* about an ancient case. It’s a great rollicking roll through the history of *McCulloch v. Maryland* as an idea. Even if you do not give a whit for 1787, think about perusing this book. It is one stop shopp... more »

On unreliable suppliers
There's been plenty of bluster between Jason Kenney and Yves-Francois Blanchet over equalization and its relationship to the oil industry. But it's worth pointing out that to the extent Quebec (or any other province or jurisdiction) currently relies on fossil fuels from Alberta, Kenney himself has gone out of his way to make that an unacceptable risk. After all, Kenney's very first act in office was to declare that any supply of oil to a province which has concerns about pipelines can be cut off at any moment - taking what was already a dangerous symbol, and turning it into an imm... more »

Venice Floods: Earth Changes & Earth/ Moon Tidal Interaction

The Human Cost of Sanctions on North Korea
Economic sanctions have become Washington's preferred means of punishing/coercing nations that fail to fall into line with its global agenda. As shown on this graphic, there are a significant number of sanctions programs that are being used to manipulate governments around the world into submission: In some cases, Washington's sanctions programs have existed for decades, particularly those imposed against Cuba and Iran. While North Korea (DPRK) and its nuclear ambitions are a relative newcomer to the American-led sanctions reality, unilateral sanctions by the United States agains... more »
STOP BEING SURPRISED AT ELISE STEFANIK'S EMBRACE OF THE FAR RIGHT
Elise Stefanik, a GOP congresswoman from upstate New York, used to have a reputation as an aisle-crosser -- on her House website, you can still find a press release announcing the fact that she was named one of the most bipartisan members of Congress in 2017. But at last week's impeachment hearings, she pulled a cheap stunt: Ranking Republican Devin Nunes tried to yield some of his questioning time to her during a phase of the hearing when, according to rules, Nunes and chairman Adam Schiff could yield time only to committee lawyers. Her stunt has made her a GOP star (though it also... more »
