Breaking: Israel Bombed Beirut?
By , August 05, 2020
This report is yet to be confirmed. It is not corroborated by other press reports.
Israel targeted a Hezbollah weapons depot at the port and planned to destroy it with an explosive device. Tragically, Israeli intelligence did not perform due diligence on their target. Thus they did not know (or if they did know, they didn’t care) that there were 2,700 tons of ammonium nitrate stored in a next door warehouse. The explosion at the arms depot ignited the next door warehouse, causing the catastrophe that resulted.
Kashmir, India and Human Rights
By , August 05, 2020
Kashmir is now the most militarized zone in the world, with approximately 700,000 soldiers to patrol and enforce repression on a population of 13,000,000. That means that each soldier is monitoring the activities of less than 20 people. This, of course, prevents the Kashmiris of ever putting from their minds even for a moment the terrible, repressive conditions under which they are forced to live.
P Is for Predator State: The Building Blocks of Tyranny from A to Z
By , August 05, 2020
The American people, the permanent underclass in America, have allowed themselves to be so distracted and divided that they have failed to notice the building blocks of tyranny being laid down right under their noses by the architects of the Deep State.
Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton: they have all been complicit in carrying out the Deep State’s agenda. Unless something changes to restore the balance of power, the next president—the new boss—will be the same as the old boss.

US nuclear threats directed against Russia predate the Cold War. They were first formulated at the height of World War II under the Manhattan Project when the US and the Soviet Union were allies.
The plan to bomb 66 Soviet cities was “officially” formulated in mid-September 1945, two weeks after the formal surrender of Japan.
COVID-19: We have a Treatment: Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ). We do Not Need a Vaccine!
By , August 04, 2020
Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is effective in treating COVID-19.
It is effective in halting the progression of the disease, provided it is given early enough and provided it is given in accordance with “contraindications” and safety of use (cardiac).
It costs nothing and the powerful pharmaceutical industry does not want to hear about it.
Were the Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki a War Crime and a Crime Against Humanity?
By , August 04, 2020
Dr. Anscombe openly called President Truman a “war criminal” for his decision to have the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki leveled by atomic bombs in August 1945 (Rachels & Rachels 127). According to another academic critic, the late American historian Howard Zinn, at least 140,000 Japanese civilians were “turned into powder and ash” in Hiroshima. Over 70,000 civilians were incinerated in Nagasaki, and another 130,000 residents of the two cities died of radiation sickness in the next five years.
Can Israelis Broaden Their Protests Beyond Netanyahu?
By , August 04, 2020
Israel is roiling with angry street protests that local observers have warned could erupt into open civil strife – a development Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appears to be encouraging.
For weeks, Jerusalem and Tel Aviv have been the scene of large, noisy demonstrations outside the official residences of Mr Netanyahu and his public security minister, Amir Ohana.
