Noncompliance Kneecaps New Zealand's Gun Control Scheme

As of last week, only around 700 weapons had been turned over. Once again, responding to a horrendous crime by inflicting knee-jerk, authoritarian restrictions on innocent people proves to be an ineffective means of convincing people to obey. Specifically, New Zealand's government—which also stepped up censorship and domestic surveillance after bloody attacks on two Christchurch mosques earlier this year—is running into stiff resistance to new gun rules from firearms owners who are slow to surrender now-prohibited weapons and will probably never turn them in. Officials should have seen it coming. "Police are anticipating a number of people with banned firearms in ...

"There comes a point for every analyst where you need to change your forecast or change your view. We’re doing the latter." Poster Comment:The Dollar will get dumped along with the stock market. I think that money will in part go into food commodities driving prices higher. We are entering a Grander Solar Minimum. During the Maunder Minimum, wheat prices rose 400% in the UK.
About the Weapons Trump Showed Off on the 4th of July

by Ronald Enzweiler Posted on July 08, 2019 President Trump’s display of military weapons in Washington D.C. on the 4th of July this year was for him and his supporters a demonstration of our country’s military might, and thus the means by which the US can get its way in the world under his America First foreign policy. But for someone who was involved for seven years in the Iraq and Afghan wars as a field-level civilian advisor, I found this display troublesome. To me, it reflected the prevailing war culture in America in which resolving international problems by edicts, unilateralism, and warfare is glorified as patriotism and American Exceptionalism. Moreover, the military ...
Americans Shocked to Find their Rights Literally Vanish at U.S. Airports

The number of people detained, their phones and laptops searched without warrants, is exploding. Why?) If you’re traveling outside the United States this summer you might want to rethink taking your electronics along. Government agents have been detaining American citizens without arrest, searching, and in some cases downloading the entire contents of phones, tablets, laptops, and other devices. And this all happens without a warrant or access to an attorney. “The border has become a rights-free zone for Americans who have to travel,” Senator Ron Wyden said in a statement to TAC. “The founders never could have imagined that the government would be able to sift through ...

US Foreign Policy Is A War On Disobedience

In an excellent new essay titled “We’re Not the Good Guys — Why Is American Aggression Missing in Action?“, Tom Engelhardt criticizes the way western media outlets consistently describe the behavior of disobedient nations like Iran as “aggressions”, but never use that label for the (generally antecedent and far more egregious) aggressions of the United States. “When it comes to Washington’s never-ending war on terror, I think I can say with reasonable confidence that, in the past, the present, and the future, the one phrase you’re not likely to find in such media coverage will be ‘American aggression,'” Engelhardt writes. He then ...
Turkey: Cops Find $72 Million Worth of Nuclear Material in a Car

I’m sure this isn’t related to a Jewish plot. And in fact, people who think that is the case are actually driven by blind hatred for the Jewish people – AKA, they are Nazis. RT: Turkish police have taken five people into custody over the smuggling of a highly-radioactive substance used to build nuclear weapons and power nuclear reactors. The 18.1-gram haul was found in a car. Police discovered a vial of the material after they pulled over a car in the northwestern Bolu province. The substance, believed to be californium, was found stashed under the gear stick wrapped in a bag. Officers had to cut the upholstery to get to the parcel, which is estimated to be worth US$72 ...

A powerful totalitarian state is no longer needed to coerce human beings nineteen eighty-four Is there a literary cliché more dull than saying of some old yellowing book that it is ‘as relevant today as it was when it was written’? This month marks the 70th anniversary of George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four. Journalists on both sides of the Atlantic – to whom Orwell is a holy patron saint – have clacked out lengthy tributes (and entire whole books) to St Orwell’s most famous work. What, they ask, does Nineteen Eighty-Four mean today? Well my answer, for whatever that’s worth, is: nothing. Nineteen Eighty-Four has nothing new to say to us and we ...

Fearful US Grants China an Oil Waiver
Post Date: 2019-07-06 09:23:10 by Ada

Florida Senator Marco Rubio posted a typical whining comment on June 28th, “The Administration stopped issuing sanctions waivers for Iranian oil exports in May, yet China just received massive oil cargo from Iran. The tanker Saline, capable of carrying 1 million barrels, docked in Jianzhou bay on June 20.” To illustrate how far things have fallen in the west, the prospect that one nation – any nation – may determine on behalf of any other sovereign nation the means by which it trades, is not only absurd, but supremely dangerous. While this is no surprise to most people, when US threats of gunboats and sanctions fail to intimidate nations like China and Russia, then ...

How Iran Will Determine If The US Dollar Remains The World's Reserve Currency
Post Date: 2019-07-05 23:16:37 by Horse

For almost two centuries, Sterling reigned supreme as the world's reserve currency, propping up the vast British Empire which was the world's superpower during the 19th century and the early 20th. Then, in the span of just a few months, everything changed and the US Dollar took over after a series of dramatic events. For those unfamiliar with this historic transformation, Clarmond's Mustafa Zaidi and Chris Andrew describe the series of events in which Iran and its oil reserves proved to be the final nail in the coffin of sterling and the British Empire. However, what is far more interesting, is their suggestion that the current tensions between Washington and Tehran, and ...

A math teacher says she has lost her job at a private school in Southern California for speaking out in defense of Western Civilization - even though she made her comments outside the classroom. Dr. Karen Siegemund, president of the Los Angeles-based American Freedom Alliance, gave a speech in May at the group’s “Long March Through the Institutions” conference, which “explored the Left’s ongoing multi-decade takeover attempt of numerous public and private institutions to effect a radical transformation of America.” During her speech, she said “each of us here believes in the unparalleled force for good that is Western Civilization, that is our heritage, ...
CrowdStrikeOut: Mueller’s Own Report Undercuts Its Core Russia-Meddling Claims

Brooklyn-based journalist Aaron Maté has absolutely destroyed the notion that the Mueller report supports its core claim of "sweeping and systematic" Russian government election interference. Authored by Aaron Maté, excerpt via RealClear Investigations (emphasis ours) At a May press conference capping his tenure as special counsel, Robert Mueller emphasized what he called "the central allegation" of the two-year Russia probe. The Russian government, Mueller sternly declared, engaged in "multiple, systematic efforts to interfere in our election, and that allegation deserves the attention of every American." Mueller's comments echoed a January ...

Tokyo Britain, France and Germany announced that the special trade mechanism that they have been working on this year is now up and running. It is called the Instrument in Support of Trade Exchanges (Instex). Over the past two years, the White House has initiated trade disputes, insulted allies and enemies alike, and withdrawn from or refused to ratify multinational treaties and agreements. It has also expanded the reach of its unilaterally imposed rules, forcing other nations to abide by its demands or face economic sanctions. While the stated Trump Administration intention has been to enter into new arrangements more favorable to the United States, the end result has been quite ...

Trump is backing away from the abyss created for him by his neocon handlers, who all hate him anyway. Donald Trump’s surprise visit to North Korea last week was impressive. It was a bold first step in repairing a foreign policy in tatters after more than a year of assaults by his neoconservative boobsie-twins Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and National Security Advisor John Bolton. Trump took Kim at his word who said after talks broke down thanks to Bolton and Pompeo in Hanoi that no dialogue would be possible if Bolton was involved. So, Trump sent Bolton to Mongolia. Then he went to Korea and did the one thing he had to do to begin unraveling the mess he’d gotten himself ...

One person was killed on Wednesday after a volcano on the Italian island of Stromboli, a popular tourist destination situated near Sicily, erupted, sending crowds of terrified tourists running for their lives.

At least one hiker was killed during the blasts after being struck by falling debris. According to RT, which collected reports from Italian media, some tourists fled into the sea after the eruption on the island, which is still ongoing as smoke continues to billow from the volcano's mouth. The sudden volcanic activity reportedly took the island by ...

On Eve Of 4th Of July Parade U.S. Attempts To Lure Iran Into Shooting Down Another U.S. Plane
Post Date: 2019-07-04 13:51:31 by Ada

Today a manned U.S. reconnaissance plane entered Iranian airspace in a clear attempt to provoke Iran into shooting it down. Such an incident would have created an occasion for Trump to give the American people a special 4th of July fireworks. On July 3 1988 the guided missile cruiser USS Vincennes shot down the civil Iranian Flight 655 with 290 people on board. The U.S. claimed that the plane's transponder was signaling an Iranian military identification code, that it was seemingly attacking the Vincennes, that the ship warned the plane 12 times, and that the ship was in international waters when the incident happened. The crew of the Vincennes received medals for killing the ...
