    “Who Will Pay For The News? (R.)”

    Why would I pay for news that is 100% biased and 100% wrong? We don’t pay for a cover-to-cover op-ed editorial flyer, that’s a self-indulgence we readers tolerate because the other 95% of the paper is actual news, and factually correct.

    What is it? “Opinions are like” what? I don’t pay for that anatomical part to be put in my face, thanks.
    Then they’ll complain wah wah, “Newspapers are dead”, “internet” “wah”, when many U.S. newspapers ARE DOING FINE. Maybe you should go look at them, because they are the few NOT 6 mega-corps who actually get off their butts, out of the office, and report the (local) news instead of commenting on it.

    “FBI elites have been fired, resigned, reassigned, demoted, or retired — or just left for unexplained reasons.”

    They did naughty things? I mean, yes, right? or they wouldn’t be fired. And yet nobody went to jail. One guy lost his pension after making 6-figures for decades and starting a gofundme footed by billionaires he sold the DoJ to that replaced it. From the screaming you’d think something happened. Meanwhile, I get arrested for having the wrong railing height on my ice cream shop. Somehow they argue that The FBI Tragedy: Elites are NOT Above the Law. They are. Clearly.

    As V. says, “and the people think this is all good.” How are you supposed to clean anything up when everybody’s fine with every level of immorality, theft, violence, abuse, and corruption? You can’t. And they’ve had their chance. Now the nation richly gets the fruits of their labors: violence, injustice, corruption, fraud, and money. Money being the hyperinflation that happens when your government is richly discredited, and rightfully so. Violence when foreign nations kick us out and put us down like a rabid dog, hazardous to the peace and stability of the planet.

    Sayeth the people, “Whut?”

    “Outgoing UK Diplomat Slams ‘Chaotic Politics’ and Brexit ‘Shambles’ (Pol.)”

    Speaking of getting your just desserts, the honest consequences of your actions.

    “The Countries with the Most Monstrous Corporate Debt Pileups (WS)”

    This is why they’re negotiating the inevitable reset now. Obama tried to double-cross the last attempt by stealing Libya’s and Ukraine’s (and Syria’s) gold, but were unable to start WWIII via Brzezinski’s Ukraine, or with HRC’s “no-fly-zone” reline in Syria, and now they’re out of cash again. …Thus the attempt to steal all of Venezuela, $300B hypothocated 400:1. But water under the bridge. The reset of vertically compounding debt is here.

    Oh, and the chart is wrong because the U.S., like London, is GDP of financial rigging and HFT circle-jerk cross-selling, while the underlying productive GDP is approaching zero. So your debt-income is multiples worse than reported.

    “UK Accused of ‘Silently Eroding’ EU Pesticide Rules in Brexit Laws (G.)”

    Compared to Europe? Hahahahahaha. They just ALLOWED glyphosate, they CREATE the poisons shipped to South America, and have all Poland, etc not exactly environmental. That’s in addition to how environmental it is to build all cars and pave everything from sea to shining sea. But okey, sure.

    “Bauer is OK. But what about the poor bear wandering the Carpathian mountains with a sore head?”

    WTF? Bauer is definitively NOT okay. Two animals got in a fight and one has a broken leg and the other a poke in the eye. Generally we worry about the person who is NOT just going to walk it off, but has a long-term disabling injury. Unless you hate humans and want them to die, naturally, which is always in fashion these days. Moral: don’t punch a hippo, just die already, you loser peasant.

    So anyway, Pompeo is asked by some ridiculous twat what he’s going to do in the event of a Corbyn-led Kristallnacht, and WaPo reports on his response as follows:
    ​ ​Pompeo said, “It could be that Mr. Corbyn manages to run the gauntlet and get elected. It’s possible. You should know, we won’t wait for him to do those things to begin to push back. We will do our level best,” he said to fervent applause from attendees.
    ​ ​“It’s too risky and too important and too hard once it’s already happened,” he said.​..​
    ​ ​“President Trump and his officials’ attempts to decide who will be Britain’s next prime minister are an entirely unacceptable interference in the UK’s democracy,” The Guardian quotes a Labour spokesperson as saying in response to the revelation.
    ​ ​“STOP: The Secretary of State Mike Pompeo just promised ‘Jewish leaders’ in the United States that he would stop Jeremy Corbyn coming to power here,” tweeted former British MP George Galloway. “Is this normal now? Is this what we’ve been led to? Is this good for Jews? For Britain? Really?”
    ​ ​“They did it in Latin America, Africa and Asia. Now the US government wants to overthrow democracy in Britain,” tweeted The Guardian’s George Monbiot. “Still waiting for a UK government spokesperson to express their outrage. Hello???”
    ​ ​ “Hmm. Hard to spin this any other way: the US secretary of state secretly promises US Jewish leaders to prevent Corbyn from becoming UK prime minister,” tweeted British journalist Jonathan Cook. “Hard too not to suspect that the US is *already* helping to ensure Corbyn doesn’t become PM. Because the obvious implication of Pompeo’s comment is that the US knows it can damage Corbyn without leaving fingerprints at the crime scene — presumably through black ops, image management etc. The elephant in the room: Why assume the US isn’t already using those techniques?”

    ​ ​Trump appears unwilling to go down in history as the president responsible for kicking off nuclear Armageddon. But what about the next president? The deep state in control of US politics would surely be able to place into office someone who would advance the final justification for a headlong confrontation with Moscow and Beijing.
    ​ ​If you think I am exaggerating, take Pompeo, a representative of the deep state, and his recent answer to the question of whether Trump was sent by God to save Israel from Iran. “As a Christian, I certainly believe that’s possible”, he responded.

    ​If only we could elect Joe Biden president, he would “Cure Cancer”!

    ​ ​Tulsi’s own military experience notwithstanding, she gives every indication of being honestly anti-war. In the speech announcing her candidacy she pledged “focus on the issue of war and peace” to “end the regime-change wars that have taken far too many lives and undermined our security by strengthening terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda.” She referred to the danger posed by blundering into a possible nuclear war and indicated her dismay over what appears to be a re-emergence of the Cold War.
    ​ ​In a recent interview with Fox News’s Tucker Carlson, Gabbard doubled down on her anti-war credentials, telling the host that war with Iran would be “devastating,” adding that “I know where this path leads us and I’m concerned because the American people don’t seem to be prepared for how devastating and costly such a war would be…
    ​ ​Gabbard, and also Carlson, did not hesitate to name names among those pushing for war, one of which begins with B-O-L-T-O-N. She then asked “How does a war with Iran serve the best interest of the American people of the United States? And the fact is it does not,” Gabbard said. “It better serves the interest of people like [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Bibi Netanyahu and Saudi Arabia who are trying to push us into this war with Iran.” ​…​
    ​ ​Tulsi Gabbard had previously called for an end to the “illegal war to overthrow the Syrian government,” also observing that “the war to overthrow Assad is counter-productive because it actually helps ISIS and other Islamic extremists achieve their goal of overthrowing the Syrian government of Assad and taking control of all of Syria – which will simply increase human suffering in the region, exacerbate the refugee crisis, and pose a greater threat to the world.” ​…
    ​ Last May, she criticized Israel for shooting “unarmed protesters” in Gaza, a very bold step indeed given the power of the Israel Lobby.​..
    ​ ​Tulsi Gabbard could well be the only genuine antiwar candidate that might truly be electable in the past fifty years, and that is why the war party is out to get her.

    Tulsi Gabbard Pushes No War Agenda – and the Media Is out to Kill Her Chances

    ​ ​Two day after a massive, 1+ million protest took place in Hong Kong, with demonstrators demanding the end to a proposal allowing extraditions to China, a follow up protest took place with thousands of people blocking local streets, and Hong Kong police defended the use of tear gas and rubber bullets to control a “riot situation” after protesters tried to storm the chamber where lawmakers were expected to take up – and pass – the controversial bill…
    ​ ​As we noted last night, a repeat protest erupted early on Wednesday, and it only got worse as the day progressed as demonstrators – many of them clad in goggles, face masks and helmets -fled to different areas, running through plumes of smoke – threw bricks, bottles and umbrellas at riot police guarding the city’s Legislative Council; they dragged metal barriers and linked arms across roads surrounding government headquarters, in scenes reminiscent of the 79-day street protests that paralyzed parts of downtown Hong Kong in 2014…
    So much tear gas was used that commuters waiting at nearby subway stations and people in shopping malls were coughing and tearing up, and many sought medical attention.
    ​ ​Many of the city’s lawmakers, from both the pro-democracy camp that opposes the contentious extradition legislation at the heart of the protests and the pro-Beijing majority that supports it, failed to arrive at the council for a scheduled debate on Wednesday morning, after protesters surrounded the complex and blocked traffic.
    ​ ​Some financial services were also disrupted. HSBC Holdings PLC closed two banking-service outlets in the Admiralty area until further notice, while other banks including Standard Chartered PLC, Bank of East Asia Ltd. and China Citic Bank Corp. temporarily suspended operations at branches near the protest area.
    ​ ​Even though the opposition bloc in the city’s legislature has been weakened after authorities ousted several democratically elected lawmakers through court orders and barred others from running, opposition to the proposed law came from many corners of society, including businesspeople, lawyers and activists, who say the changes would undermine Hong Kong’s relative autonomy and independent judicial system…
    ​ ​“The government needs to acknowledge that my voice matters,” said Candy Wong, a 27-year-old shop assistant who said she was angered after authorities pressed ahead with the bill even after more than a million people—including herself—took to the streets in protest. Ms. Wong took a day off to join the rally. “If I didn’t come today by next week I may no longer have the freedom to do so.”

    ​Dan sends this well researched and written “long read” on how the opioid epidemic came to nest in Appalachia.​
    ​ ​In chemical terms, carfentanyl is as mortal a threat as nerve gas – more poisonous by median lethal dose (one nanogram) than the venom of the Mojave rattlesnake. It was once unregulated, but after containing its production, the Chinese government made a pointed statement:
    ​ ​America consumes 80 per cent of the world’s opioids. 2. China, a country in which these substances could be purchased online at wholesale prices, does not have an opioid problem. 3. If America has an opioid problem, it is not because of pharmaceutical imports but American-manufactured prescription drugs.
    ​ ​All true. At the heart of this domestic consumption is the region of Appalachia, set in mountainous seclusion between Kentucky, Virginia, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Appalachia, when it is thought of at all, occupies a kind of ‘herrre be dragyns’ place on the American mind map of most Americans, occupied by doodled stereotypes: coal, hillbillies, Deliverance playing on repeat. Opioid addicts were just added to the stereotypes, a single letter changed to neologize them as ‘pillbillies’…
    ​ ​Pastor M. told me about an early Pentecostal missionary, a barely tolerated presence in some mining camp full of hard men. They ignored him, and let him know he was ignored, until one day the whole camp arrived en masse to his tent, bending the brims of their hats in their hands, asking to join his ‘congregation’.
    ​ ​‘May I ask,’ said the missionary, ‘what made you change your minds?’
    ​ ​‘Well,’ said their leader, ‘we have been poisoning the water in your well, and as you are unaffected, we figure you must have something to teach us.’

    There are some subject that bloggers are not allowed to discuss. It those subject are mentioned or are critical of those who rule then the comment section could or would attract the supporters to comment and attack.

    Why would use of public funds be under stricter guidelines in a country that is famous for producing banking and finance leaders and elites?

    eg.:
    After fraud charge dropped, PM’s wife admits to lesser offense of taking unfair advantage of a mistake Sara Netanyahu signs plea deal in catering case, will pay $15,000 fine.

    • Who Will Pay For The News? (R.)

    We will, of course, via stealth funnelling of Treasury dollars to the deep state through Fed Reserve inflation, and untraceable “back doors” such as FASAB56. Also the international drug trade and associated money laundering. Our wealth used against us for media and “educational” mind control.

    China v Hong Kong: the outcome is inevitable. It just takes time.

    Glyphosate vs Everybody: the attitude here is one of utter malevolence. And greed: OK, so we het a few lawsuits and pay out reluctantly and sullenly. Just the cost of doing business.

    Some years ago I did some basic research into the psychopathy of corporations. Got some very disquieting results. Must look again and see what new articles exist.
