The CIA’s “Deep State”, Donald Trump and His “War on Terrorism” | Global Research - Centre for Research on Globalization

immediately after his inauguration, and was clearly an urgent first
priority.

Widening Economic and Social Inequalities, Billionaires Alongside the Global Impoverishment of the Human Family | Global Research - Centre for Research on Globalization

CHANDRA
MUZAFFAR: Oxfam revealed on the 15th of January that “the richest eight
tycoons on the planet are worth as much as the poorest 3.6 billion
people” — half of the world’s population. It also emphasised that the
richest 1% continues to own more than the other 99% combined.

These inequalities have been getting worse over the years. In 2010, a
mere seven years ago, the wealth of 43 of the world’s richest people
equalled to that of half of the human family. Between 1988 and 2011 the
incomes of the top 1 % had increased by 182 times compared to the bottom
10%.

The End Of Mingling - "Moderate Rebels" Join Al-Qaeda In Syria

Lots of confusion about the infighting in the "rebel" held Idleb governate in #Syria,
the situation is now clearing up. After other tricks, like renaming the
group, did not work to deceive al-Qaeda finally pulled back the veil.
It is no longer hiding between the "moderate rebels" but is now (again) a
clearly identifiable groups. Groups near to al-Qaeda integrated with
it, other groups split with significant parts joining the al-Qaeda
organization.

Why the US Justice System Is Criminal

Trump’s Nationalism Facilitating China’s Rise to Global Leadership | New Eastern Outlook

While the new US president, Donald Trump, might have thought deeply
about making “America great again”, the policies (read: “America First”)
he has outlined to achieve this
objective are likely to cause other consequences, most important of
which is America’s further decline in the global arena and subsequent
rise of China to what the latter’s leadership has implicitly called
‘playing the world leader.’ To this end, China is expected to receive
significant support from both its rivals and allies. In Asia, for
example, Trump’s nationalist rhetoric has received a response that
points to a larger regional (read: “regionalization”) configuration
taking place wherein China, followed by Russia, is playing an anchor
role. As a matter of fact, China’s militaristic response i.e.,
deployment of intercontinental missile systems, to Trump’s aggressive
nationalist assertion and the heat it is creating with regard to the
South China Sea has found a powerful friend in Russia, and together both
of these countries are likely to challenge Trump-ism in its various
i.e., military and non-military forms.

BBC's Fake News Of “Interests” And “Intervention” In Theresa May's Speech - TruePublica

Via Global Research – U.S. and other media continue their strong move towards baseless, aka fake, news. We recently caught the New York Times claiming that Russia started the war in Georgia, something the NYT had earlier debunked itself. The Washington Post claimed that
Russian hackers were sneaking into the U.S. electricity grid. The story
fell apart within a few hours. Nothing in it was true. Hundreds of
pieces were written about “peaceful demonstrator” rebels in Syria, about
250,000 civilians besieged in Aleppo or Syrian government bombings of
hospitals that lacked any base in reality.

That onslaught of fake news by repudiated media continues unabated in print, web and TV.

Israel issuing Palestinian building permits to further West Bank land grab | +972 Magazine

Israel issuing more building permits to Palestinians in the West Bank
might seem like a good thing, but it is actually concentrating
Palestinians in certain parts of the West Bank so that there is more
room for settlements to expand.

Chris Hedges: American Psychosis - Chris Hedges - Truthdig

Reality is under assault. Verbal confusion reigns. Truth and illusion
have merged. Mental chaos makes it hard to fathom what is happening. We
feel trapped in a hall of mirrors. Exposed lies are answered with other
lies. The rational is countered with the irrational. Cognitive
dissonance prevails. We endure a disquieting shame and even guilt. Tens
of millions of Americans, especially women, undocumented workers,
Muslims and African-Americans, suffer the acute anxiety of being pursued
by a predator. All this is by design. Demagogues always infect the
governed with their own psychosis.

Top 6 Times US government Excluded Millions based on Race or Religion | Informed Comment

By Juan Cole– –

Donald Trump, Ted Cruz and other bigots on the far right are nothing
new in American history. Rather, they remind us of the worst and most
shameful detours of the American Republic in the past. From the
mid-nineteenth century racial theory became prominent in European and
American discourse, in which peoples were conceived of as endogamous
(only marrying among themselves and so producing ‘pure’ and ‘less pure’
‘races.’) In contrast, in the 18th century most Western thinkers
believed the differences among peoples had to do with climate and diet.
The nineteenth century Romantic notion of race is a fantasy– people get
all mixed up over time.

Trump's Decision to Leave the TPP Was to Protect One Faction of the Super Rich | Alternet

U.S. President Donald Trump decided that the United States would now
exit from the trade negotiations known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
Embarrassingly, some U.S. labor leaders stood beside him to celebrate
this action. Is the U.S. withdrawal from the TPP part of a plan to
encourage employment in the United States? No. The exit of the United
States from the TPP should be understood along two axis – one merely
about U.S. politics and the other about a new strategy to revive
flagging U.S. power in the world.

(ANTIMEDIA) In the wake of an apparent surprise outcome in the 2016 presidential election and a wave of propaganda regarding alleged (but unproven)

demonize the growing independent media and an increasingly waking
