FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 2018 Yumna Patel Every year, in late August, Palestinians begin celebrating the grape harvest, a quintessential part of Palestinian life and heritage. Grape vines can be found on nearly every street in Palestine — on apartment balconies in cramped refugee camps, to sprawling fields and courtyards in cities and villages. For farmers, a years worth of intensive labor has led up to this moment, when they cut the grapes off the vines and take their goods to markets and street carts. For most, the profits made off…

Gordon Duff, Will Russia Call America’s Bluff?
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2018 Gordon Duff America is threatening war in Syria. The Wall Street Journal says Russian troops will be targeted. Though this story from September 10, 2018 is fake, there is a sinister method behind it. Trump wants a war with Russia, a war he thinks Russia will fight half-heartedly, a few ships sunk, a few planes downed, no American ground troops, perhaps with Trump able to use his secret arsenal of biological and chemical weapons and deniable tactical nukes as well. Trump has long stated that he…
Edward Curtin, Why I Don’t Speak of the Fake News of “9/11” Anymore
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2018 Why I Don’t Speak of the Fake News of “9/11” Anymore By Edward Curtin Tuesday, September 11, 2001, was a non-teaching day for me. I was home when the phone rang at 9 A.M. It was my daughter, who was on a week’s vacation with her future husband. “Turn on the TV,” she said. “Why?” I asked. “Haven’t you heard? A plane hit the World Trade Tower.” I turned the TV on and watched a plane crash into the Tower. I said, “They just showed a replay.” …

Kunstler Warns “Many Forces Are Vectoring Towards DefCon This Fall
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 2018 Authored by James Howard Kunstler via Kunstler.com, Quite a hot time in the ole Swamp this week, with the gators, ‘possums, snakes, and snappers roiling the filthy waters to a bloody froth in the battle for supremacy of the food chain. The Swamp even has its own version of Bigfoot, the Golden Golem of Greatness. Lumbering and garrulous, unlike his shy cousin of the Oregon forests, the flaxen-haired giant plies the sloughs, oak domes, and cypress hammocks desperately seeking respect. His bellowing can be heard each night…
James Fetzer: In Solidarity with Alex Jones — Why did Americans swallow Sandy Hook, Line and Sinker?
2018/09/03 07 Other Atrocities, Corruption, Government, IO Deeds of War, Law Enforcement, Media James Fetzer: In Solidarity with Alex Jones – Why did Americans Swallow Sandy Hook, Line and Sinker? Mr. President, Media Matters has summarized Alex Jones’ comments about Sandy Hook, with the preface, “Over the past five-and-a-half years, Jones has repeatedly pushed conspiracy theories about the tragedy, including casting doubt about whether it even happened or claiming that the shooting was staged by nefarious groups using actors”, and offered observations such as the following (even showing him saying them): Jones has said the shooting has “inside…
Paul Craig Roberts, “I Know Who the “Senior Official” Is Who Wrote the NYT Op-Ed
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2018 I Know Who the “Senior Official” Is Who Wrote the NY Times Op-Ed Paul Craig Roberts I know who wrote the anonymous “senior Trump official” op-ed in the New York Times. The New York Times wrote it. The op-ed is an obvious forgery. As a former senior official in a presidential administration, I can state with certainty that no senior official would express disagreement anonymously. Anonymous dissent has no credibility. Moreover, the dishonor of it undermines the character of the writer. A real dissenter would use his reputation and the status…
There Are Dozens And Dozens Of Us’: Two More Anon WH Officials Confirm They’re Sabotaging Trump
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2018 Chris Menahan Two more anonymous “senior White House officials” arrogantly bragged that they and “dozens and dozens” of other White House appointed bureaucrats are carrying out “a resistance from the inside” of the Trump administration, according to a report from Axios released Thursday morning. From Axios, “Trump’s nightmare: ‘The snakes are everywhere’“: He’s deeply suspicious of much of the government he oversees — from the hordes of folks inside agencies, right up to some of the senior-most political appointees and even some handpicked aides inside his own…
Tell-All Book ‘Fear’ Sets Up Trump-Woodward Clash of Titans
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2018 Tell-All Book ‘Fear’ Sets Up Trump-Woodward Clash of Titans By The Associated Press WASHINGTON — It’s not clear whether President Donald Trump has much to fear from “Fear” itself. But the book of that name has set off a yes-no war between author Bob Woodward and the president, using all the assets they can muster. For Trump, that means denials from the pulpit of the presidency and from allies who had been quoted questioning his intelligence and stability. For Woodward, it means putting nearly a half-century of…
Craig McKee, Why do we Tolerate a “Truther” Cabal that Constantly Props Up almost all of the 9/11 Pentagon official story?
Lloyd England says it was the “long end” of the pole that penetrated his cab. So much is false in the Pentagon story – why would any truther spend years describing what they think is true? By Craig McKee What would you think if a group of truth activists, known for other areas of 9/11 research, turned their attention to writing papers, making videos, giving talks, and doing interviews telling us all the ways they thought NIST’s analysis of the World Trade Center destruction was correct? What if they almost never…
