This Species is Amusing Itself to Death (The Diagnosis for the Future Inhabitants of our Dying Planet)
By Gary G. Kohls, MD
“And when they found our shadows (grouped 'round the TV sets), they ran down every lead; they repeated every test; they checked out all the data in their lists. And then the alien anthropologists admitted they were still perplexed, but on eliminating every other reason for our sad demise they logged the only explanation left: This species has amused itself to death.” -- Roger Waters
“Apathy and indifference are nurtured in the modern age as most peoples’ free time is frittered away with worthless trivia like ball games, computer games, movies and soaps, and fiddling with their mobile phones. These distractions might be fun, but after most of them you’ve learnt nothing of any value, and remain ignorant, malleable and suggestible, which is just how the elites want you.” -- Clive Maund
Amidst A Religious War in Europe Or Is It Just another False Flag Operation?
By Gilad Atzmon
The massacre in France was a devastating crime against freedom and the right to laugh.
But was it really executed by a bunch of lunatic irrational Muslims who to decided to kill mercilessly because their prophet was mocked?
French people should be asking what led members of their society to commit such cold blood murders against their fellow citizens.
France should ask itself why it has been dropping bombs on Muslims. Who enthusiastically advocated these ‘interventionist’ wars? What was the role of Bernard-Henri Lévy, the prime advocate of the war against Libya for instance?
Waging War on Islam
by Stephen Lendman
It's the wrong time to be Muslim in America. It's post-9/11 target of choice. Allied with Britain, France and other rogue NATO partners.
Israel against Palestine. Media scoundrels in lockstep. Regurgitating official pronouncements. Accepting them like gospel. With no due diligence checking. No disputing official accounts. No questioning their veracity.
Muslims accused of terrorism are automatically guilty. Case closed. Evidence when absent is invented. Accusations alone suffice.
Western vilification of Islam is longstanding, vicious and unjustifiable. The late Edward Said explained how Western sources misinterpret East/West relations.
Describing the colonizers and colonized. "(T)he familiar (Europe, West, us) and the strange (the Orient, East, them)."
Samuel Huntington's "clash of civilizations." A superior West confronting a belligerent, hostile, inferior Muslim world. High-mindedness v. gun-toting terrorists. Good v. evil.
The Guardian Finally Starts to Report the Truth about Ukraine’s War
Eric Zuesse
On January 7th, Britain’s Guardian, which used to be a fine newspaper but isn’t now, started what will necessarily be a long road back to reality, after nearly a year of their intermittent inattention and Western propaganda on Ukraine — — finally realistically reporting the war there as being what it is and always was: an attempt by the post-coup Ukrainian Government to destroy the area in Ukraine where the residents had voted 90% for the Ukrainian President who was overthrown in the February 2014 coup.
Oleg Orlov headlined “Ukraine's Forgotten City Destroyed by War,” and he described a city in ruins from the intensive bombings during July and August.
Global Crises: Mankind Needs Peace not Terrorism
Mahboob A. Khawaja, PhD.
Today’s cold blooded massacre of French journalists of satirical magazine “Charlie Hebdo” in Paris underlines the imperative of critical thought towards understanding the global affairs. Emerging crises are not being understood rationally and consequently large segments of humanity are in chains. Leaders around the world are quick to condemn the cruelty of the few against many innocents caught in the firing. But the same leaders fail to take initiatives to use dialogue and peaceful resolution of current one-sided aggressive wars. No matter where on planet, the daily killings of the innocents in France, Iraq, Syria, Palestine, The US or elsewhere, it demands fair and objective-oriented analysis to come to grip with the prevalent facts of human affairs. The global humanity longs for peace, not for terrorism. But many egoistic leaders deliberately override the facts to pursue strategic agendas to run down the mankind under false pretexts of Islamic terrorism.
Time To Stand Up To The NYPD
Stop the NYPD Coup and Create the Police-Community Relationship We Want to See
Do the police serve the city or are they a law unto themselves? This is an issue of concern throughout the country but it has come into crisp focus in New York.
The conflict in New York City spurred by the death of Eric Garner and the failure of a Staten Island grand jury to indict the police officer who choked him to death; followed by the killing of two police officers, Officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu, by a deranged person has sharpened the conflict over policing in New York. The NYPD is trying to bully Mayor Bill de Blasio as they have done with almost all previous mayors. It is time for the mayor and city to stand up to police bullying.
Palestinians: On Their Own for Justice
by Stephen Lendman
Palestinians are ill-governed, ill-served and ill-treated. Grossly abused by their own government, Israel, America and other Western countries.
Hamas is Palestine's legitimate government. Democratically elected in January 2006. Lawlessly besieged in Gaza.
Outrageously called a terrorist organization. Despite the European Court of Justice removing it from its terrorist blacklist. Attacked at Israel's discretion.
The Ramallah-based Palestinian Authority operates as Israel's enforcer. Hugely corrupt. Mindless of the rights of its own people.
Doing virtually nothing throughout its post-Oslo existence to help them. Benefitting hugely by serving Israel, America and other Western interests.
EU Showdown: Greece Takes on the Vampire Squid
by Ellen Brown
Greece and the troika (the International Monetary Fund, the EU, and the European Central Bank) are in a dangerous game of chicken. The Greeks have been threatened with a “Cyprus-Style prolonged bank holiday” if they “vote wrong.” But they have been bullied for too long and are saying “no more.”
A return to the polls was triggered in December, when the Parliament rejected Prime Minister Antonis Samaras’ pro-austerity candidate for president. In a general election, now set for January 25th, the EU-skeptic, anti-austerity, leftist Syriza party is likely to prevail. Syriza captured a 3% lead in the polls following mass public discontent over the harsh austerity measures Athens was forced to accept in return for a €240 billion bailout.
Austerity has plunged the economy into conditions worse than in the Great Depression. As Professor Bill Black observes, the question is not why the Greek people are rising up to reject the barbarous measures but what took them so long.

Tricks Western ‘News’ Media Use to Deceive about Ukraine’s War
Eric Zuesse
Because of the ample video and other evidence that the Ukrainian Government is pursuing an ethnic-cleansing policy to get rid of the residents in the area of Ukraine that had voted 90% for the Democratically elected Ukrainian President that Obama’s State Department and CIA overthrew on 22 February 2014, Western ‘news’ media have had difficulty fooling their audiences into the idea that the regime that Obama installed in late February to take over the country is not racist-fascist, otherwise known as nazi, in its character and policies. The video and other evidences are simply too pervasive and numerous for them to deny, and so these media have taken increasingly to saying that the Ukrainian regime’s nazism is just the West’s tit against the evil Putin’s tat. However, they cannot show comparable video evidence of the pro-Russians bombing villages and cities, and machine-gunning busloads of escaping refugees in order to kill them and not merely expel them, and marching and chanting nazi slogans and flags and swastikas. So, here will be exposed an example of this deception-tactic, of this supposed tit-for-tat nazism, to make clear how this lying-technique is practiced by the BBC (and other ‘news’ media):
