For 40 Years, Iran’s Been Preparing For The War The US Has Been Threatening
War with Iran has long been a possibility for the US, but only as a last
resort. Previous administrations have recognized that this is not a war
the US can win, but will Trump do the same?
Food, Earth, Happiness (2019)
Food, Earth, Happiness (2019)
A majestic journey through Japan, Korea, and the United States that
turns our perceptions of food (and life) upside down in a simple and
poetic way. Solutions for our most pressing social and ecological issues
come from unexpected places in a bite-sized film that New York Times
bestselling author Alicia Bay Laurel calls “beautiful … both art and
documentary.”
First time directors Patrick M. Lydon (USA) and Suhee Kang (Korea) weave breathtaking landscapes and an eclectic original
soundtrack together with stories and insights from an inspiring cast of
natural farmers, chefs, and teachers who give modern-day relevance to
age-old ideas about more sustainable, regenerative, and harmonious ways
of living with the earth.
Officially released on January 1, 2019, this film is an abbreviated
version of the acclaimed environmental documentary Final Straw: Food,
Earth, Happiness (74 min / 2015). It has been edited by the directors
for public and classroom use.

DR. PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS: It is customary to speak of Western countries as
democracies. In actual fact, the countries are oligarchies in which
voting, which conveys the semblance that government is accountable to
the people, seldom changes anything as elected officials are constrained
by the power of organized interest groups.

Finding that President Donald Trump became “increasingly unmoored from

lies to the American public at about
three times the rate he did the previous year—when voters and the media
were already expressing shock at the repeated false statements coming
from the White House.

Catalonia. Their significance for the Spanish inner politics can be
understood as the best if we know that Catalonia (Catalunya) is being
since 1975 the most politically and economically powerful autonomous
self-governed region in the Kingdom of Spain – during the last 20 years,
basically, a kind of “a state within the state”. [ 2,168 more words ]

The Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity : US Defeat in Syria is a Crisis of Empire
By declaring victory over ISIS and leaving Syria Trump puts a period on
the end of a shameful period of US history. And the loss to the empire
will not be easily overcome. Syria represented the worst kind of
imperial over reach. And in some ways it was a quagmire the US and its
allies could never win because the assets needed to take it were never
available. And those assets were political. The appetite for endless war
had been spent with Obama’s election, no less Trump’s.

It is worth starting by noting that a high percentage of the
Integrity Initiative archive has been authenticated. The scheme has
been admitted by the FCO and defended as legitimate government activity. Individual items like the minutes of the meeting with David Leask are authenticated. Not one of the documents has so far been disproven, or even denied.
Which tends to obscure some of the difficulties with the material.
There is no metadata showing when each document was created, as opposed
to when Anonymous made it into a PDF. Anonymous have released it in
tranches and made plain there is more to come. The reason for this
methodology is left obscure.
Most frustratingly, Anonymous’ comments on the releases indicate that
they have vital information which is not, so far, revealed. The most
important document of all appears to be a simple contact list, of a
particular group within the hundreds of contacts revealed in the papers
overall. This is it in full:

Cuba, beginning in 1510. However, Spain’s defeat at the hands of the
Americans in the Spanish-American War of

as the island was subsequently transformed into a US neo-colony.
