Jill Stein in the Crosshairs: the Russia Investigation Shifts to Clinton's Political Rivals The Russia-gate investigation has zeroed-in on Green Party candidate Jill Stein, proving that the probe is not an attempt to determine whether Russia meddled in the 2016 elections, but a crude weapon to bully the political rivals of Hillary Clinton, her dissolute allies in the bureaucracy.

Why the Democrats Will Run Michele Obama in 2020 Michelle already knows the drill, that's what makes her the perfect candidate. She knows the president is a meaningless figurehead. She knows the whole thing is a charade. She knows that the rich will get richer while working people get stomped on. She's been there, she's done that.

Tom Friedman's Paean to a Saudi Tyrant Ignites NYT Comments-Storm Is Friedman a supporter of the power-hungry Crown Prince? Does he think that rounding up one's political rivals, hanging them upside down and beating them with rubber hoses is an acceptable way to conduct an anti-corruption campaign? Did Friedman know that the object of his man-crush is a reprobate despot who, in the last year alone, oversaw the beheadings of over 150 people?

ISIS Last Stand: End Times for the Caliphate The western media has entirely ignored the defeat of ISIS at Abu Kamal mainly because it was the Russian-led coalition that delivered the final blow. In the current climate in the US, any facts that fail to support the anti-Russia hysteria that has swept the country, are scrubbed from publication.

Brennan and Clapper: Elder Statesmen or Serial Fabricators? After an arduous 12 month-long investigation involving both Houses of Congress, a Special Counsel, and a small army of high-paid Washington attorneys, the only straw Brennan has found to hold on to, is a few innocuous advertisements posted on Facebook and Twitter that had no noticeable impact on the election at all.

Is Hillary Just the "Fall Guy" for the Intel Agencies and their Moneybag Bosses? The media no longer tries to support their narrative with evidence or eyewitnesses. The major media now simply tells people what they want them to think and leave it at that. Even so, it doesn't require much critical thinking to see the holes in the Russia hacking story. One merely needs to suspend judgment long enough to see that main claims all emerge from (Democratic) sources who have every reason to mislead the public.

"Anthem Protesters" Should Stop Mucking Around and Make Their Demands The owners are going to do whatever they're told to do (within reason, of course) if they want this protest nightmare to go away. And they do want it to go away. The anthem protests could very well produce results that no one could have ever imagined. It's worth a shot at least.

John Brennan's Police State USA Brennan's psyops have been successful -- amazingly successful. According to a recent CBS Poll, a majority of Americans (57%) now believe that "Russia tried to interfere in the 2016 presidential election." In contrast, only 34 percent of Americans don't believe there was any Russian interference in the 2016 elections.

Cowboy's Boss Draws a Line in Sand: "Stand for Anthem or Else" But if bosses can require their employees stand for the anthem, then what's to stop them from making them say a prayer too? It's the same thing, isn't it? In both cases, employees are being compelled to conform to behavior that may or may not be consistent with their own beliefs. How does that square with the First amendment or is that rule no longer applicable?

Uncle Sam vs. Russia in Eastern Syria: the Nightmare Scenario Putin is a cautious and reasonable man, but he's not going to hand over Syria's oil fields without a fight. Putin doesn't want a slugfest with Uncle Sam, but he's not going to abandon an ally either. So there's going to be a confrontation because neither party is willing to give up what they feel they need to achieve success.

Rohrabacher vs. The Machine The media is trying to divert attention from the real story that Russia did not hack Democratic emails and give them to WikiLeaks during the 2016 presidential campaign until they get their bearings and figure out a way to dispose of Rohrabacher. As soon as they settle on an approach, they'll be off to the races. Rohrabacher should be applauded for trying to reveal the truth, but he's probably bitten off more than he can chew.

Starve Them to Death: Wall Street Journal's Solution to North Korea The editors at the Wall Street Journal have settled on a plan for ending the crisis in North Korea. Starve them to death. There's not even the remotest chance that the plan will work at all. None. But it will help to punish the Korean people for the behavior of their government. It will do that. And it will generate more suffering, unhappiness and misery. That much is certain.

The Russian Hacking Story Continues to Unravel The only rational explanation for the FBI's behavior, is that they've been told to "stand down" so they don't unwittingly expose the truth about what's really going on, that the whole Russia hacking fiction is a complete and utter fraud, and that the DNC, the CIA and the media are all having a good laugh at the expense of the clueless American people.

Why Trump Won't Start a War With North Korea Washington won't sign a treaty with the North because it despises their form of government, and is just waiting for the opportunity to force them from power. Trump is no different from most of his predecessors in this regard. He hates the leadership in Pyongyang and makes no bones about it.

What the Media isn't Telling You About North Korea's Missile Tests The North wants negotiations. They want to end the war. They want to put this whole nightmare behind them and get on with their lives. But Washington won't let them because Washington likes the status quo. Washington wants to be a permanent feature in South Korea so it can encircle Russia and China with lethal missile systems and expand its geopolitical grip bringing the world closer to nuclear Armageddon.

Why Can't Wheeler-Dealer Trump Cut a Deal with North Korea? North Korea may be a seriously-flawed and, perhaps, even tyrannical regime, but it has not pummeled entire nations into dust sending millions fleeing across continents to seek refuge. It has not bombed wedding parties, hospitals, mosques etc., wreaking havoc while plunging the world deeper into chaos and despair. North Korea is far from perfect, but compared to the United States, it's looks like a paragon of virtue.

Did Hillary Scapegoat Russia to Save Her Campaign? Facts don't matter in the Russia hacking case. They never have. The whole approach from Day 1 has been to drown the public with innuendo and baseless accusations, while the MSM Carnie barkers pretend that "Russia meddling" is already settled science and that only "Putin puppets" would ever doubt the veracity of the media's loony claims. Got that?

Putin Tries to Avoid a Wider War With the US Putin does not want to prolong or expand the war, he wants to end it. It's going to take enormous restraint to tip-toe through the Syrian minefield without triggering a Third World War. We'll have to see if Putin is up to the task or not.

The Syrian Nightmare: No End in Sight The fight against ISIS could be over in a matter of months, but that doesn't mean the hostilities will end. No one really knows whether the Turks, the Kurds or the US-backed militias will agree to withdraw from the territories they've captured during the war, but the general consensus seems to be that they won't.

Trump, Brennan and the Intel Community's Iron Wall of Secrecy Russia has become the single greatest obstacle to Uncle Sam's imperial ambitions; it is the emergent threat of which Paul Wolfowitz warned during the Bush years. This is why Russia is relentlessly demonized by the media, penalized with harsh economic sanctions, and disparaged among the allies. And this is why Brennan launched Russiagate.
