Russian Propaganda or Election-Fixing Scapegoat
When the 'American intel' elaborated all the WMD fiasco, I thought that Americans couldn't be more stupid. But you see, I was wrong. A simple and obvious tactic from the Democrats to divert the attention from their internal problems is getting huge. Come on, you never learn?

The American Religion of Violence  (23)
Very interesting article. I don't know a lot about American civil war. But I certainly wonder why American religious people are so aggressive. This link between patriotism, the flag, religion, Jesus coming, a feeling of moral superiority and a crusade to spread the world. Now I understand it much better.

I'd like to know which one of the candidates, Trump or Hillary, is more close to the puritanist idea...

Orlando: The New 9/11  (3)
In spite of all the admiration I have for Ron Paul, he is wrong about gun control. There is evidence in every advanced country around the world that the ban on war weapons and severe limitation on other kind of guns is very positive for security. I insist to Americans: you only have to look around.

When Peace Breaks Out With Iran...  (6)
Ron Paul has an unbiased view of international relations. Something that is obviously difficult for the average American after decades of brainwashing. Of course he didn't say that America deserved 9/11. He said that if you are a bully that is always attacking other people, you should expect that some of them try to retaliate. It's common sense. American actions have created terrorism, not the other way around.

Will Seizure of Russian Assets Hasten Dollar Decline  (2)
USA is the bully of the world. While blaming Putin for the agression, Obama does the REAL agression, using all the tools at his disposal, diplomatic and financial.

I don't think we will see a change in the reserve currency of the world. Before that occurs, USA will launch a full attack with it's main asset: the army.

Iceland Ponders Radical Money Plan Including Elimination of Fractional Reserve Lending and Deposit Insurance  (2)
Excellent news!!

I support Positive Money initiative, so I'm 100% with the Iceland proposal.

Anyway, somebody could point defects on this proposal, or better forms of managing the creation and distribution of money. The important things are: 1- That everybody be aware that the current system is profoundly flawed. 2- That there are alternatives more efficient, modern and fair. And then, we can...

War Games: Russia Threatens Denmark, NATO Intercepts Russian Jets, NATO Launches Drills on Russian Border  (1)
It's obvious that US wants a war with Russia. I don't get the motives. Perhaps the experts see that the american economy is deteriorating and that the dollar domination will not prevail. And the remedy is an european war. In every european war the americans come as victors and they dominate the world for some decades. They need urgently another european war.

Interventionism Kills: Post-Coup Ukraine One Year Later  (6)
A nice summary of what actually happened. It's sad that few europeans and even fewer americans are going to read it.

My opinion is that US want this war desesperately. France and Germany brokered peace will last only until the Kiev government is resupplied with weapons, after the recent big defeats. They are only winning time, but the war will continue after that.

US Warmongers vs. Merkel; Why Ukraine is None of Our Business  (4)
Trigger happy Americans are easily mislead by the government agencies and the press. You can lie to Americans again and again, and it always works. The rest of the world thought that they would learn something from the big failure of Irak. In vain. They have learned nothing.

In this case is even worse, because the crisis has been created by the Americans themselves. Only look at McCain and Nuland in Kie...

I cannot overstate how important is that every american read this article. It's absolutely wonderful how you have summarized every aspect around torture.

New Poll Shows US Citizens in Every Demographic Support Torture (Republicans, Democrats, White, Black, Young, Old)  (5)
It's very sad to see such support of torture in USA. What is incredible is that a lot of those people consider themselves christians and nice people. Actually they are religious fanatics, exactly the same that the ISIS fighters.

Bank of England's former deputy governor misleads about gold and credit creation
I'm allways surprised. How people that have failed absolutely, still feel that their opinions are important to us. In my opinion, such people don't have to anser interviews, but anser in front of a jury, and probably be jailed.

They still defend the system that has crashe so horribly? Incredible.

Merkel Will Blink First, Not Putin  (3)
"We don't accept what has happened and we don't accept Europe's borders being changed again 70 years after the war," said Steinmeier.

This Steinmeir has a short memory or a lot of hypocrisy. Doesn't he remember Germany recognizing Slovenian and Croatian independence quickly after the war? And also that both countries were then admitted as members of EU and NATO?

The moral is: If some region of ...

Spanish Reader on Rise of "Podemos" a New Far-Left Political Party in Spain  (3)
I'm also from Spain, and I can assure you that David's analysis is good and neutral, wich is difficult in this polarized ambient.
But there is a mistake, "December 2014/January 2015 is the limit date for the next Spanish legislative elections" is incorrect, the correct date is December 2015/January 2016.

I'm a big admirer of Ron Paul and, although of course I respect the criticism, from my european point of view I share most of his foreign policy. I think you have every right to oppose and be critical, but I think that to state "Paul is always good for a laugh when he starts talking foreign affairs" is trollish, because you don't m...

Putin adviser suggests Russia knows all about West's gold price suppression  (6)
"U.S. actions in Ukraine should be classified not only as hostile with regard to Russia, but also as targeting global destabilization. The U.S. is essentially provoking an international conflict to salvage its geopolitical, financial, and economic authority. The response must be systemic and comprehensive, aimed at exposing and ending U.S. political domination, and, most importantly, at undermining U.S. military...

Putin Drops the Gloves in Ukraine – Threatens Nuclear War  (20)
Two americans killed in front of TV (for the sake of the argument lets suppose this is true) can justify a 'Global War on Terror' from the americans, in any country in the world they desire. But Ukranian government is bombing and shelling in East Ukraine that is killing hundreds of civilians and making more than 800K refuges, and west world doesn't say anything, nor the UN Security Council.

Yes, is quite funny when US gets rid of a president he doesn't like, put in place a selected president, and then the new president ask for military support from NATO, and even seek to o...

A World Without Fractional Reserve Banks and Central Planning  (8)
Every change starts with people dreaming about it and spreading the new ideas.

There exists an organisation in Europe that is getting stronger every day, with the purpose of changing the banking model. More and more people, both ordinary people from the street but also informed people from finance and academia, are aware of the problem.

Lies and childish victimism, to justify once again the war crimes that Israel is commiting. The whole world is shocked. even the friends of Israel. But it doesn't matter, everybody is wrong except you. The only point where you are correct is when you compare the Israel government with ISIS. Both armed religious fanatics, both dangerous, both criminal.

Mr. Kunstler, I suppose you are jew.

It is outrageous. The simpaty for Israel has a new low around the world. The zionism is no different than the nazi ideology: racism and the violent supremacy of the people chosen by God....

TedBits American Empire on Fire  (4)
Instead of cold reasoning, you let your eurofobia control your analysis, and that's the reason of your predictions being wrong again and again. American 'experts' are telling that EU is broken and the euro has no future since 2010. Well, that's simply not true. Too much hatred towards europeans. Calling everything 'socialist' every 2 sentences doesn't help.

I respect a lot Mr. Paul, but in the last paragraph he makes the typical american mistake. It is NOT "always your business", and you are not "the ones to solve the world's problems". Indeed, its just the opposite: the empire doesn't give a damn about world's problems UNLESS there is a gain to make, in terms of strategic power or resource control. In fact, they create a lot more problems that they solve.
