Four Reasons Civilization Won’t Decline: It Will Collapse

by CRAIG COLLINS Photograph Source: Studio Incendo – https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/ As modern civilization’s shelf life expires, more scholars have turned their attention to the decline and fall of civilizations past. Their studies have generated rival explanations of why societies collapse and civilizations die. Meanwhile, a lucrative market has emerged for post-apocalyptic novels, movies, TV shows, and video games for those who enjoy the vicarious thrill of dark, futuristic disaster and mayhem from the comfort of their cozy couch. Of course, surviving the real thing will become a much different story. The latent fear that civilization is living on borrowed time has also spawned a counter-market of “happily ever after” optimists who despe...

The oligarch behind the world holocaust forum attended by presidents and kings

As imperialists shed fake tears over the jewish holocaust, they continue to weaponise alleged ‘antisemitism’ to silence all criticism. Proletarian writers A Palestinian family carries their belongings towards the remains of their destroyed home, hit by Israeli shelling and air strikes on Gaza, 5 August 2014. Gaza is often called the largest open air prison in the world. It is sometimes called a ghetto. The following article is reproduced from the If Americans Knew website, with thanks. ***** At least 45 world leaders responded to a summons to attend the World Holocaust Forum in Israel to ‘fight antisemitism’. The event was organised by a Russian-Israeli oligarch who considers support for Palestinian human rights ‘antisemitic‘. He is promoting an Orwellian programm...

Will COVID-19 Kill Globalization?

by JOHN FEFFER Photograph Source: CDC/Dr. Fred Murphy – Public Domain At a dinner party in mid-February, an architect told me that he was having a problem finishing his building projects. It was the carpets. Most wall-to-wall carpeting for big construction projects in the United States, he explained, comes from China. The coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan — and the subsequent shutdown of many Chinese factories — was having a ripple effect across the global economy all the way down to the carpeting in U.S. buildings. The global spread of a new pathogen has exposed the fragility of modern life. As it moves around the world, the coronavirus has compromised the circulatory system of globalization, dramatically reducing the international flow of money, goods, and people. The diseas...

Person to Person Contact: Highest Transmission of COVID-19

By Carol Duff, MedPage Today Health Editor’s Note: Staying home when you are ill, staying away from people who are sick, effective hand washing, covering sneezes and coughs, avoiding crowded and poorly ventilated spaces, and possibly staying home as much as you can. It is clear that COVID-19 is passed by contact with an infected individual, not necessarily from surface areas although droplets that contain virus may be moved by airflow and end up on equipment such as vents. The level of contagiousness is directly proportional to the amount of virus the infected person is shedding which varies from person to person. Also, there is some evidence that the virus may be shed in stools, thus correct hand washing technique should be followed at all times…..Carol COVID-19: How Big o...

Coronavirus and “Pandemic Pantries”. Fear Campaign Triggers Stockpiling of Emergency Supplies

By Dr. Binoy Kampmark Global Research, Fears of imminent apocalypse tend to be midwives to absurdity. The stockpiling fever that has gripped various populaces in response to the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak has taken various forms. “Pandemic pantries” are becoming the norm, suggesting that hoarding in the crisis tends to be a precursor to petty crime. In the United Sates, the price of hand sanitizers has risen by 73 percent in dollar value since February 22. A Nielsen report on these trends reads glumly: “Consumers around the world are actively stockpiling emergency supplies as concerns grow that the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) could become a worldwide pandemic.” But the focus of such purchases lies beyond such supplies, including “basi...

The Non-Intervention Principle

by SHELDON RICHMAN Photograph Source: VasenkaPhotography – CC BY 2.0 Anyone old enough to think about “America’s” role in the world ought to be able to walk and chew gum at the same time. For example, one ought to be able to argue firmly against U.S. intervention in other countries without feeling obliged to downplay or deny the real crimes that the tyrant du jour has committed. Unfortunately, not everyone agrees. I can see the temptation here. Many people believe that all one needs to do to establish a case for intervention is to portray the target as egregiously bad. Consequently, a noninterventionist may think that the easiest way to rebut the interventionist is to deny the claim that the target is as bad as “they say.” But this is a lousy, shortsighted, and ultimatel...

Goodbye to the Internet: Interference by Governments Is Already Here

By Philip M. GIRALDI There is a saying attributed to the French banker Nathan Rothschild that “Give me control of a nation’s money and I care not who makes its laws.” Conservative opinion in the United States has long suspected that Rothschild was right and there have been frequent calls to audit the Federal Reserve Bank based on the presumption that it has not always acted in support of the actual interests of the American people. That such an assessment is almost certainly correct might be presumed based on the 2008 economic crash in which the government bailed out the banks, which had through their malfeasance caused the disaster, and left individual Americans who had lost everything to face the consequences. Be that as it may, if there were a modern version of the Rothschil...

Countdown to “Full Spectrum Dominance”

By T.J. Coles The US is formally committed to dominating the world by the year 2020. With President Trump’s new Space Directive-4, the production of laser-armed fighter jets as possible precursors to space weapons, and the possibility of nuclear warheads being put into orbit, the clock is ticking… Back in 1997, the now-re-established US Space Command announced its commitment to “full spectrum dominance.” The Vision for 2020 explains that “full spectrum dominance” means military control over land, sea, air, and space (the so-called fourth dimension of warfare) “to protect US interests and investment.” “Protect” means guarantee operational freedom. “US interest and investment” means corporate profits. The glossy brochure explains that, in the past, the ...
