And here is a good example:

Does Los Angeles have the right to destroy habitat and the livelihoods of families, friends and neighbors who have lived here for generations? They may not have the "right", but they sure as hell have the power.
And as climate change unfolds, we can expect that MANY more such choices and impositions are going to be made.
Water is life, and the US brought native Americans to the brink of extinction by driving them away from their sources of water. They'll soon be doing the same to the rest of us.

Our Post-Truth World
Long ago, I made the following assertion:
In America, the wages of truth is death.
Here is a wonderful essay confirming that assertion from Dr. Paul Craig Roberts:

I urge you to read it in its entirety. I doubt you'll find such candor from too many other sources.

Trade War Reality Check
Sometime between 2020-2025, every Chinese will have a home, a job, plenty of food, education, safe streets, health and old age care. On that day there will be more homeless, poor, hungry and imprisoned people in America than in China and 450,000,000 urban Chinese will have higher net worth and more disposable income than the average American. Their mothers and infants will be less likely than ours to die in childbirth, their children will graduate from high school three years ahead of – and outlive – ours. If China wins the trade war and the world’s hearts and minds, it’s pretty much game over, almost by default.

Woe is us !!!
By the way, the powers that be (TPTB) are whining NOT about this reality but about who assaulted whom in high school. Don't we have more important things to worry about?
If I didn't know any better, I would say TPTB really don't care what happens to this country as long as their power and privilege remains more or less intact.

Size Of The Big Banks
I'm not sure which bank is which, but clearly most of them got bigger since the crash. The Chinese banks got a LOT bigger.
Apparently this is not a good thing.
S-300s To Syria
It's about time !!!
It appears Israel has paid a huge price for last week's attack on Syria which led to the accidental "friendly" fire downing of a Russian reconnaissance plane with 15 personnel on board as the door could now be forever shut on striking targets in Syria with impunity. The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) has announced plans to deliver its advanced S-300 air defense system to Damascus within two weeks.
Prior plans to deliver the system, which is considered vastly more effective and can strike at a greater range than Syria's current S-200 and others, were nixed after Israeli threats that delivery would constitute a "red line" for which Israel must act.
The Russian MoD acknowledged this and said the situation has "changed" upon announcing its intent to follow through on what Syria has already purchased: “In 2013 on a request from the Israeli side we suspended the delivery to Syria of the S-300 system, which was ready to be sent with its Syrian crews trained to use it,” the MoD statement said.

If I were the Russians, I would shoot down EVERY plane which violates Syrian airspace. And I'd be sorely tempted to attack the airfields they came from, too.

Now We're At War With Venezuela ???
The United States is preparing to take “action” against socialist Venezuela, while simultaneously going down the same path. U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that in the coming days, the US’s “series of actions” will put pressure on the Venezuelan government.
“You’ll see in the coming days a series of actions that continue to increase the pressure level against the Venezuelan leadership folks, who are working directly against the best interest of the Venezuelan people,” Pompeo said according to Reuters. “We’re determined to ensure that the Venezuelan people get their say.”

Trump Is A Coward
Here, apparently, is Trump's latest "excuse" for not confronting the deep state:
US President Donald Trump says "key allies" have asked him not to release classified FBI documents related to the probe into Russian influence in the 2016 presidential election, raising speculation the Australian government could be exposed.

Key allies in what? Killing our imaginary enemies? Plundering the resources of third world countries?
I have yet to meet an Australian who by my standards is doing anything beneficial for the USA. And if they're screwing with our elections, then I say "to hell with them".
RELEASE THE DOCS !!!
