Jim Fetzer No public relations effort in the 20th century has rivaled that of the CIA attacking critics of The Warren Report (1964) as “conspiracy theorists” in a memorandum of April 1967, implying that, unless those speaking out knew everything there was to know about what happened to JFK, they should not be taken seriously, which is, of course, completely absurd. The early critics of the government’s “official account” of the assassination, such as Mark Lane, Jim Garrison and David Lifton, among others, were observing that the narrative…
The Death of Academic Freedom: Prof James Tracy Denied First Amendment Rights by Federal Court
Vivian Lee On December 11, 2017, in a serious miscarriage of justice, a jury in West Palm Beach, Florida, ruled unanimously in favor of Florida Atlantic University and against former Media Studies Professor James Tracy, who was suing for reinstatement after his firing in 2016. The jury found that Tracy’s “controversial” articles on Memory Hole Blog were not a “motivating factor” in his firing, the only question they were required to consider. Of course, Tracy’s posts at “his conspiracy theory blog” were indeed the reason he was fired, but the…
Cook County commissioner asks UN to send troops to quell Chicago’s gun violence
Dr. Eowyn Last weekend is no different than previous weekends in Chicago, a gun-control city. Sixteen were shot in the city’s mean streets, killing five, including a 15-year-old boy. According to the Chicago Tribune, 2016 was the deadliest year for homicides in decades, but 2017 promises to outpace 2016. The victims are preponderantly black, as are the perpetrators. As an example, the Chicago Sun Times has a website, Homicide Watch Chicago, chronicling every homicide. From the photos on the website’s front page, the latest victims are all black. Chicago is in Cook County in…
Russiagate is a Made Up Distraction. The REAL Scandal is Israelgate.
by James Corbettcorbettreport.comDecember 16, 2017 Almost exactly a year ago, just as the “Russia hacked the election!” delirium was taking shape, I pooh-poohed the idea that “Russiagate” (as it has come to be known) would persist for very long. Once the Trump administration started plowing ahead with its agenda, I argued, the Dems would toss Hillary aside and move on with politics as usual. Russiagate fading away as Democrats come to terms with the 2016 election? Really, James? Now I’ve made some inaccurate predictions before (OK, a lot of inaccurate predictions),…
Mona Alexis Pressley: (More) Las Vegas Shooting Lies
Mona Alexis Pressley Conspiracy Realist If you havent noticed sociopathic insane leaders have taken over our government decades ago and everything seems to be coming to a head. Now is not the time to let ego get in the way to admit party affiliation is the problem. The insanity has increased in the government and a majority of the population is in pure denial about the severity of the problem which will surely lead us to be total slaves or even into global extinction. The military industrial complex has long since…
Is It Too Little, Too Late? Tillerson Explains What Trump Said About Jerusalem
By Richard Scheck Donald Trump was the wrong person to deliver such a bold statement about the status of Jerusalem. His unilateral declaration has predictably triggered a massive reaction from the rest of the world rejecting his decision to acknowledge Jerusalem as Israel’s capital Had he chosen to make a joint statement with President Putin or with an Arab leader like Turkey President Erdogan or Egyptian President Sisi, limiting his commitment to West Jerusalem and leaving open the final status of the City’s East, he might have moved the stalled peace…

THE DECEMBER ISSUE of Penn Magazine is now online! pennmagazine.us Click “READ MORE”(IT WILL TAKE A FEW SECONDS TO LOAD) “… Nobody really listens to TV news anymore, just the dumb people.

Everyone is smarter than that. There’s other stuff to occupy our time. We don’t have to spend all day plowing fields…
Pat McShay: Trump & Netanyahu, Palestine & Jerusalem, Haley & Kushner—What’s really going on?
By Patrick McShay “Trump and Netanyahu- Blind Guides and Hypocrites” U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shake hands after Trump’s address at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem May 23, 2017. REUTERS/Ronen Zvulun “What’s so grotesque and ironic about it is the whole point of the independent statute is to reassure the public that the investigation is above politics. That’s why it’s taken out of the Department Of Justice leadership. So you’d think that Mueller would go out of his way to assure that no one on…
Sandy Hook: The James Tracy Trial is going to the Jury: Here’s what you need to know
Jim Fetzer According to FAU, “FAU prof wasn’t fired because of Sandy Hook blog”, Sun Sentinel (4 December 2017), James Tracy was fired as a tenured associate professor because he did not submit forms about his outside activities. But the University was under pressure from the local community and donors to remove him because they objected to the content of his blog. After 35 years as a faculty member in institutions of higher learning, I have never heard of such an absurdity. If he failed to submit forms, he might…
Paul Craig Roberts: Plunder Capitalism
Paul Craig Roberts The future of America (for the vast majority of its citizens) I deplore the tax cut that has passed Congress. It is not an economic policy tax cut, and it has nothing whatsoever to do with supply-side economics. The entire purpose is to raise equity prices by providing equity owners with more capital gains and dividends. In other words, it is legislation that makes equity owners richer, thus further polarizing society into a vast arena of poverty and near-poverty and the One Percent, or more precisely a…
