»Die politischen Reden und Schriften von heute bestehen fast ausschließlich aus vorgefertigten Phrasen, die von Experten wie Bauteile aus einem Metallbaukasten zusammengeschraubt werden. Das ist das unvermeidliche Ergebnis der Selbstzensur. Um eine einfache, starke Sprache zu schreiben, muss man furchtlos denken, und wenn man furchtlos denkt, kann man sich nicht an vorgegebene politische Lehren halten.« (- George Orwell, Journalist und Publizist)

What Comes Next for the United States in the Middle East?, by Philip Giraldi
There are a number of things that we know to be true about the currently relatively quiet war between the United States and Israel against Iran.

The European Riots and the Media, by Mark Gullick
Now that Europe increasingly resembles a continent-wide Kristallnacht, it is instructive to look at events in various countries through the refractive prism of the media, which in informational terms are the provisional wing of government. To point out that politicians and their mainstream media courtiers are often economical with the truth is not in itself...

The Enemy at Home, by Chris Hedges
The belief that Democrats will dismantle a system designed to serve the rapacious greed of the war machine and the ruling billionaire class is a mirage. Power does not rest in the Congress. It does not rest in the courts. It does not even rest in the imperial presidency. It rests in the hands of...

Lost, by Ted Rall
I was either nine or 10. So it was either 1972 or 1973. The first time I saw the blood in the bathtub was the middle of the night, when I was peeing. There was a shower curtain, but my mom hadn't pulled it over. I didn't know what was going on, but that isn't...

Our backs are against the wall and the Left is coming for blood. Surely, elites and the political establishment will see the danger and rally to us right?

Iran–U.S.: A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall, by Pepe Escobar
SHANGHAI – Controversial does not even begin to describe it.

Not Even a Glass of Water, by Larry C. Johnson
Russians are famous hosts. Sit down with Russian officials for five minutes and someone will produce tea, water, a plate of something and, if the meeting goes well, a bottle of something stronger.
