Jair Bolsonaro won the presidency on a promise to bring back military rule. Jair Bolsonaro isn’t big on democracy. The newly elected president has dismissed the notion of human rights as a “disservice” to Brazil. He has bemoaned the fact that its police force, one of the deadliest in the world, does not have the right to kill more freely, promising to give it “carte blanche” under his administration. He once proposed using a helicopter to drop pamphlets warning drug dealers to leave poor communities, or be fired upon indiscriminately. Bolsonaro is by far the most prominent elected official to praise the harsh military dictatorship that ruled the country from 1964 ...

By Jeffrey Rodack | Tuesday, 13 November 2018 12:48 PM President Donald Trump lashed out at The New York Times calling its report about North Korean secret missile bases “inaccurate.” “The story in the New York Times concerning North Korea developing missile bases is inaccurate,” he posted on Twitter. “We fully know about the sites being discussed, nothing new - and nothing happening out of the normal. Just more Fake News. I will be the first to let you know if things go bad!” ...

Prehistoric warfare was total war in which victors normally killed all enemy women, children, and adult males, according to groundbreaking research published by Lawrence H. Keeley, in his book War Before Civilization1. Keeley wrote that primitive war was always a struggle between societies and their economies, and warriors carried out that struggle. Rome fielded great armies, in historical time, and sometimes killed whole societies that opposed them. The destruction of Carthage is just one example. After Rome’s decline, Western Europeans preferred to wage war between specialized forces. Initially those were armored noblemen, then mercenaries, and then professionals. Napoleon’s ...

This weekend the Donald took some heavy duty flack from liberals, Dems, the MSM and harrumphing patriots for canceling his appearance at a wreath laying ceremony at the famous WWI battle site at Belleau, France owing to inclement weather. For instance, former Secretary of State, John Kerry got himself worked into high dudgeon: Mr. Kerry criticized the president’s decision on Twitter, saying that the weather “shouldn’t have stopped an American President”. “President @realDonaldTrump a no-show because of raindrops?” he wrote. “Those veterans the president didn’t bother to honor fought in the rain, in the mud, in the snow – & many died in ...

TEHRAN (FNA)- Israel has fully censored the details of the Sunday night military operations in Gaza in which a 41-year-old Israeli officer was killed and another was wounded, a leading Arab paper said on Monday.

BRINDISI, Italy — The United Nations is seriously stepping up its campaign to undermine free speech, online freedom, and a surge in opposition to globalism worldwide. Pointing to what it calls “international law” against racism and “intolerance,” the UN is demanding a global crackdown on fundamental human rights as well as what is described as “nationalist populism.” In particular, the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment must go. As part of the attack, political and economic ideas the UN hates — populism, concern about corrupt elites, nationalism, individual liberty, borders, and more — are also now officially in the UN’s crosshairs. ...

Authored by Chris Hedges via TruthDig.com, Julian Assange’s sanctuary in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London has been transformed into a little shop of horrors. He has been largely cut off from communicating with the outside world for the last seven months. His Ecuadorian citizenship, granted to him as an asylum seeker, is in the process of being revoked. His health is failing. He is being denied medical care. His efforts for legal redress have been crippled by the gag rules, including Ecuadorian orders that he cannot make public his conditions inside the embassy in fighting revocation of his Ecuadorian citizenship. Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has refused to intercede on ...
3 Ways Bernie-Care Makes Canadian Healthcare Look Good
Post Date: 2018-11-12 20:59:15 by Horse

Canadian healthcare has become something of a byword for the "ideal" in healthcare among certain activists in the United States. Bernie Sanders, for example, has relentlessly pressed for a Canada-style healthcare system, and many left-of-center Americans advocate for the same. Not surprisingly, though, few details of how the Canadian "single-payer" system works are ever discussed in the US. Advocates for single payer tend to assume that there is a simply one big national healthcare apparatus, and that everyone need only show up at a hospital or doctor's office to get everything free. This has never been the case with Canadian health care, but it's clear than ...

U.S. on a Course to Spend More on Debt Than Defense

In the past decade, U.S. debt held by the public has risen to $15.9 trillion from $5.1 trillion, but financing all of that debt hasn’t been a problem. Low inflation and strong global demand for safe U.S. Treasury bonds held the government’s interest costs down. That’s in the process of changing. Interest rates are rising as inflation normalizes around the Federal Reserve’s 2% target. That and the sheer scale of debt being accumulated by the federal government has put the U.S. on a path of rising interest costs that in the years to come could crowd out other government spending priorities and rattle markets. In 2017, interest costs on federal debt of $263 billion ...

Macron’s Popularity Collapses While Interior Minister Predicts Civil War I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Emmanuel Macron, the current president of the French Republic, is a weird dude. Now, after just 18 months in power, he is also a very unpopular dude. The French media have been making much of the fact that Macron’s prime minister, Édouard Philippe, has been slightly more popular than the president in certain polls. But really, what we are seeing is an almost perfect parallel collapse in popularity of both personalities Click for Full Text!

Top MP says calls for US to leave will double with new parliament Always more resistant to open-ended foreign military presence than the nation’s executive branch, Iraq’s parliament has revealed a series of plans to start “reviewing” the US military presence. This is focused in particular on a timetable for the US pullout. Iraq MP Ahmad al-Assadi said he expects the calls for a US withdrawal to at least double during the new parliament’s term, and that most are only prepared to accept the trainers and advisors described as filling a specific need. This is to start with a review of the scale of the US presence, the needs of the Iraqi security forces, and the ...

The most remarkable thing about Trump's foreign policy is how much it's like his predecessors'. As we near the halfway point of President Donald Trump’s first term, U.S. foreign policy is being widely portrayed as off the rails. Yet when one looks past the Trumpian bluster, the predetermined media narrative, and the serial incompetence of an understaffed and often inexperienced administration, one finds a foreign policy agenda that differs far more in style than in substance from its predecessors’. Donald Trump ran for president as a foreign policy Buchananite in all but name. Thoughhe made pro forma genuflections before the altars of primacy and American military ...

South Korean military transport aircraft began a tangerine airlift to North Korea on Sunday, the first of a gift of 200 tonnes of the fruit from the southern island of Jeju, South Korea's presidential Blue House said.

TEHRAN (FNA)- Russian President Vladimir Putin said French President Emmanuel Macron's idea of creating an EU army is not new, calling it a clear and natural desire to ensure security. "As for the alternative all-European armed forces, this is not a new idea, now president Macron has revived it, one former president, Jacques Chirac, told me about this, but such ideas had existed even before him. In principle, Europe is a powerful economic formation, a powerful economic union and, in general, it is quite natural that they want to be independent, self-sufficient, sovereign in the field of defence and security," Putin said in an interview, RIA Novosti reported.

Most consumers are unaware off the mainstream media’s dirty little secret. Think tanks are increasingly taking advantage of tight news budgets to influence the press agenda in favour of their sponsors. Decades ago, these outfits generally operated as policy advisories. Although, some were comfortably enumerated ‘retirement homes’ for distinguished public servants or intellectuals. However, in modern times, they have become indistinguishable from lobbying firms.

‘Refugees’ Refuse to Resettle in U.S. After Learning They Will Have to Work, Will Not Receive Welfare

About 71 so-called “refugees” from the Middle East living in Australia have refused to be resettled in the United States after learning they will have to work and will not receive taxpayer-funded welfare. Former President Obama signed the Australian-U.S. refugee deal during his last months in office — promising to take 1,250 Middle Eastern refugees off Australia’s hands. The refugees – who are mostly adult, single males with mental health issues – were being held in detention centers on Manus Island and Nauru Island in Australia. Despite Trump’s original statement calling the deal “dumb,” the president has broken his commitment and has allowed ...
