the unbalanced evolution of homo sapiens

by Alan MacLeod Part 3 -  Free Healthcare is Slavery, But Actual Slavery is A-OK The PragerU content being shown to American schoolchildren contains a number of highly controversial viewpoints presented as common sense. Most “lessons” are presented in cartoon format, with one about the founding of America including an animated Christopher Columbus stating that slavery was “no big deal.” “Slavery is as old as time and has taken place in every corner of the world,” he said; “Being taken as a slave is better than being killed, no? I don’t see the problem.” Further justifying the enslavement and genocide of two continents, Columbus tells those watching that, “The place I discovered was beautiful, but it wasn’t exactly a paradise of civilization, and the native people were far from peaceful.” Another video lesson grossly distorts the views of abolitionist Frederick Douglass, with an animated Douglas justifying slavery in America, stating that “the founding fathers made a compromise [sup...

The world’s eyes will be on Lionel Messi on Wednesday night, as Argentina face England in the World Cup semi-final. The diminutive superstar has gained a massive following across the planet, not least in Israel, thanks to his numerous business and security connections with the Apartheid State. From being the face of an Israeli A.I. company led and run by Israeli spies, entrusting his private security to a team of Israel secret agents, MintPress explores the reasons why Benjamin Netanyahu considers him to be his favorite football player. by Alan MacLeod Part 2 - Messi’s Israeli Handlers  The Argentinian has made multiple visits to Israel during his career. In 2013, he and his club, F.C. Barcelona, went to Israel and Palestine on a supposed “Peace Tour.” During his trip, he met and talked with Netanyahu and President Shimon Peres, and glad-handed with IDF soldiers. He also donned a yarmulke and visited the Western Wall, the holiest site in Judaism. Even after leaving, however, M...

Owen Jones   This is probably the quickest and clearest defeat of the US imperialist beast since WWII, as the war against Iran fully exposed the limits of US imperialist power.   Normally, we should expect the US imperialist beast to respond with a second, much more brutal attack against Iran until its final surrender. However, reports about the draining of global oil reserves to dangerously low levels due to the Strait of Hormuz "weapon" successfully used by Iran, as well as limitations related to the production of new expensive weapons by the US against Iran's much cheaper drones and missiles, made such a possible second attack appear almost impossible.

Democracy Now! The United States is continuing to bombard Iran amid an intensifying standoff over the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. Central Command said on Sunday the United States had struck 140 targets in Iran. In retaliation, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps said it had targeted U.S. military facilities across the Middle East. “U.S. CENTCOM, Central Command, and the Pentagon at large have concealed the impact of Iranian strikes, in some cases entirely,” says Jeremy Scahill, co-founder of Drop Site News , adding that “Trump has dramatically underestimated the Iranians from the very beginning.” The escalating attacks from both sides come after Iran announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz last week and President Trump declared the ceasefire over. Iran insists that, according to the 60-day memorandum of understanding with the United States, commercial ships going through the waterway must “coordinate” their movements with Iranian authorities, which the United States has rejected. “There ...

Danny Haiphong Iran has opened the gates of missile hell on US bases as troops casualties pile up in Jordan, and US strikes become less and less effective in countering Tehran's strategy. The UAE and Israel may be next and CENTCOM is scrambling.
