Leaders = Liars; every man jack one of them, with few (very few) exceptions.
The latest outrage comes from the just appointed head of US Broadcasting Board of Governors, Andrew Lack. He named RT one of the agency’s main challenges, alongside extremist groups like the Islamic State and Boko Haram. WTF???
IME, RT is one of the last places/news organizations where genuine reporting is still happening.
Everything has been turned upside down, most especially the truth.

https://rt.com/news/225751-psaki-rt-isis-bbg/The evil WH spokesperson disagrees, sort of kind of…
Didn’t somebody say bread and circuses…
@ cloudhidden
Banksters, or spinach?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ha, ha, ha, ho, ho, ho; nice catch. Got me a big smile…It’s really hard to take the republicans seriously with people like Joni Ernst; did anybody listen to her infantile speech? I couln’t get past the first 2 minutes.
But make no mistake: These people are dangerous…The head of Shell Oil said yesterday that we shouldn’t get too comfortable with cheap oil, because it’s going to hit $80/90 per barrel this year.
This is interesting because the Saudi oil minister said, not a week ago, oil will “never” hit $100/barrel again.
I mean, you just gotta laugh when all available information is blatantly contradictory.
Bottom line; I believe nothing and prepare for the absolute worst.
I live in a country that still grows its own food. And, I don’t need fuel to keep warm in the winter.
Gods be good, the insanity is all pervasive…@ bluebird
Yes, and that’s why it’s so important to get rid of debt. Debt is slavery, pure and simple…
^ Ilargi;
That is spot on as evidenced in the U.S.
There is no escaping the debt collectors; they are the new vampires, sucking the life out all who incur debt they cannot pay…
And the bloody, bought, justice system supports these vermin…I am horrified by the mindlessness of the western collective pre-eminently led by the U.S..
Putin and Xi seem to be the only human leaders with operational sanity.
Charlie Hebdo cartoons(?), MH-17, Ukraine, NATO expansion, and south stream pipeline are only a few of the lunacies ongoing.
I think I don’t blame the leaders as much as I blame their mindless followers…The march was a media circus and propaganda platform. Obama/Biden noticeably absent.
The terrorists are winning, because with every attack, we lose a measurable degree of freedom.
And like good little comrades, we accept each assault…And, apparently I was wrong regarding cartoons about Moses and Christ. Nobody escaped their pen. My bad…
@ Raleigh
If they only went after one group of people, one race, one religion, that might be a different story, but they don’t. They hammer everyone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is my understanding the cartoonist have said they would NOT mock Moses or Christ.
That was reported in an interview I cannot find.I’m with the Saker;
https://vineyardsaker.blogspot.com/I am NOT Charlie or any of their ilk. I found their cartoons disgusting and wrong as two left shoes; totally devoid of taste.
To be clear, they did not deserve to die.Gods be good; how the hell do you keep going on this insanity Ilargi?
I can barely muster the strength to follow the crazy…An interesting exercise; scroll down only reading the headlines.
I find it gives the full flavor of the present insanity.
If you haven’t found your life boat, I’d suggest not waiting too long…
…and don’t worry about fancy, just make sure it floats…@ Variable81
Okay, I’ll bite.
Where do you recommending “getting out” to?
~~~~~~~~~~
That wasn’t offered as bait.
It’s a big world “out there”, but I’ll agree with @Wildsilver.
Small, out of the mainstream, still sovereign, and very inexpensive cost of living. Many countries will hire degreed (any), native English speakers to teach their children English. The salaries are more than adequate and generally include health coverage. I was fortunate to be hired to work overseas; that was my ticket out (I quit the company after a year). But once out, and here is my point, I realized I could have done it without the job.
The view from the inside is skewed, distorted by provincialism, and full of mis-information. The view from the outside is liberating, dare I say, exhilarating?
CheersPeter Schiff (Euro Pacific Capital) among many, has said people are stupider than he thought.
I got a genuine chuckle out of that; it’s true. He can’t believe people are still buying the bullshit!
Getting poorer in America is getting scary? Getting scary? It’s been scary for decades!
Most have no idea!
And seeing the future, I got the fuck out! I’ll not be trapped in the Orwellian reality of what is.
American’s provincialism is just mind boggling; they have no idea outside of their narrow, shrunken, ignorant world; of the wider planet and its myriad cultures/countries.
Traps are largely a mindset and government propaganda seals the door.
Ya’ll need a serious wake-up call to reality.
America is not the world…
Think, it’s not yet illegal…@ Glennda
Yes, the Saker is a genuine reality check.
The static coming from western MSM is stifling, mind numbing, excrement.
Reading the Saker and Orlov is liberating…
TAE is a breath of fresh air, so rare in most of the media; who is Stoneleigh?@ Hotrod
…always remember that Putin was/is KGB.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Actually that is not true, but a widely held mis-information.
Putin worked for the Soviet/Russian intellegence agency, not KGB.
My source for that is the Saker @
https://vineyardsaker.blogspot.com/Top of the new year to everybody…
We used to be a nation of laws and they mostly worked. We are now a nation of men of low character and no leadership abilities. Brute force has replaced leadership.
The citizens of the U.S. are fundamentally dysfunctional for myriad reasons. This endemic mental illness is not recognized and thus there can be no end to it.
Genuine change is not a process, but rather instantaneous.
At this point hope is to be found in individual action (I think maybe that has always been true); not in the collective.
The borders are not yet sealed, so there are choices…I thought the Daily Bell was spot on.
No doubt the U.S. will try to foil the Panama canal alternative.
As to search engines; I’m using DuckDuckGo and find it really, really works. They claim no tracking or other shenanigans and that seems to be true..
I ditched Yahoo and Google as my main mail. Now all I need is to find a browser to get away from Chrome. Thinking of Fire Fox…@ gezelle
No, I understood Ilargi perfectly and agree with his assessment 100%.
As to rapier: He seemed to bemoan the lack of information regarding MH-17, citing the NYT.
There is a lot of information “out there” if one but looks. The is more than a little evidence implicating Ukraine.
IMO, all MSM is worthless, but not benign. Rather it’s malignant.
Cheers@ rapier
Google ‘MH17 NY Times’ yields no direct stories since late July. An incredible absence.
~~~~~~~~~~~
I find your choices of information, incredible. Why ever limit yourself to American MSM???
Who bloody cares what the NY Times has to say about anything?
Certainly no one who actually wants to be informed/current.
Try this;

CheersThe Rap News with Russel Brand sums things up nicely; for your perusal…
Well, that didn’t work; why not?<iframe width=”560″ height=”400″ src=”//www.youtube.com/embed/W4nSjPdT788″ frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen></iframe>
Well, here’s a link;
https://therealnews.com/t2/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=31&Itemid=74&jumival=12919I think the U.S. wants MH-17 buried because the truth be known; Ukraine’s NATO dreams would be shattered.
Here’s a link to The Vineyard of the Saker, in which he has a video of an interview with a witness to the downing of MH-17 by an SU-25. He knows and names the pilot. Ukraine has confirmed the pilot’s name but denies he was flying on the 17th.https://vineyardsaker.blogspot.com/2014/12/new-testimony-about-shooting-down-of.html
Pretty damning and the guy passed a lie detector test. His identity is being protected for obvious reasons.
Chaotic is the only way to describe the markets.
I’ve heard the term “controlled chaos”, which, IMO, is an oxymoron. Controlled chaos is having the tiger by the tail and foolishly believing this can control/direct the tiger.
Because of uncertainty, I do not see how anybody can reasonably prepare for the future eventualities.
I remain fascinated by the possibilities, both considered and unknown…On another note; I enjoyed the T. Boone Pickens bit. He’s a feisty old fart…like me…
But not like me… 😉Thank you Euan Mearns; I learn more here than any other site that I visit.
Costs; the true costs are predictably hidden or just ignored. Fracking may prove to be the single biggest environmental/human disaster in U.S. history and maybe even the planet.
Aquifers; our most valuable resource, are being destroyed/poisoned by extraction industries.
We humans have a very strange way of costing our activities.
Aboriginal’s have the most accurate assessment standards and are treated with contempt.
This is going to bite us in the ass and ultimately kill us.
Why are these realities regularly ignored when assessing extraction’s true costs?
Cheers@ Diogenes Shrugged
I’m in SE Asia; avocado oil is not available and the only coconut oil is virgin and ฿400 for 500ml.
A decent Spanish extra virgin olive oil is ฿400 for 1 litre. ฿33 = $1 USD
There is also rice bran oil. I normally stick with historically proven foods and avoid fads and the latest greatest…
Refrigeration (after opening) takes care of the heat problem and also light exposure.
I was being a bit tongue-in-cheek because there will be a shortage of olive oil due to diseased trees in Italy and Spain.
Our diesel consumption is such (low) that I’m not much concerned with the price at the pump.
CheersScrew petroleum; it’s the olive oil I’m concerned with.
The amount I use in cooking is absolutely obscene… 😉@ John Day
Thanks Dr. John; I love Pepe and read everything he prints.
Here’s another; Go West Young Hanhttps://www.atimes.com/atimes/China/CHIN-01-171214.html
Putin is Russia’s Cool Hand Luke and one of the few adults in the room…
Every time Obama, Kerry, and Cameron open their pie holes I just walk away shaking my head.Cheers
““Putin said he knows who they are. I hope that they are wearing adult diapers. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they get Khodorkovskied before too long.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This evoked me into a gut laugh (it’s very funny).
The man is firmly in control; he plays chess against Obama’s checkers.

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-12-17/china-prepares-bailout-russiaThe maroon’s in the west are amateurs playing against a master.
I wonder if anyone, of the west’s players, have even bothered to try and understand their advisory? It would appear not…Just reading the headlines sounds like a discussion in an insane asylum.
My takeaway is that nobody has a clue…@ Raleigh
They’ve always lied to “us”.
When was it ever not so?
Grow up and see, look at what is real.
If one cannot do that; then what is the point?
You’re still under the spell…
