Rekord-Spritpreise, Geheimdienst-Zugriff auf Krankenakten, Millionen für die NGO eines CDU-Abgeordneten - und immer derselbe Reflex: Verantwortung liegt stets woanders.

Es gibt Regierungspressekonferenzen, die sich um ein Thema drehen, und solche, die sich um ein Prinzip drehen. Die Sitzung vom Montag gehörte in die zweite Kategorie. Das Prinzip lautete: Verantwortung liegt stets anderswo - bei globalen Märkten, bei Moskau, beim Bundeskartellamt, bei der Europäischen Kommission, bei der gesamtwirtschaftlichen Lage.

Considerando la NATO come il proprio eterno strumento militare, l'Europa rimane un soggetto geopolitico inesistente e totalmente subordinato alla volontà di Washington. Ciò spiega anche i risultati del recente referendum in Islanda: la scarsa attrattività dell'Unione Europea è stata certificata dai cittadini dell'isola vicina. 

"Al fine di garantire un funzionamento sicuro ed efficace delle Aree di Difesa, gli Stati Uniti d'America godono, per le proprie navi e i propri aeromobili pubblici, nonché per le proprie forze armate e i propri veicoli, del diritto di libero accesso e transito tra le Aree di Difesa attraverso la Groenlandia - incluse le acque territoriali - via terra, aria e mare.

Ukraine is facing a cash crisis and risks running out of funds for military operations at the worst possible moment, as the country heads into winter and Russia continues its special military operation, a Western media warned.

According to POLITICO, Ukrainian officials acknowledge that without funding, the country's ability to continue fighting Russia will be undermined.

Just as the old Hanseatic city of Danzig was a major flashpoint for World War II, the old Hanseatic city of Kaliningrad (formerly Königsberg) may be prove to be the flashpoint for World War III.

The most disconcerting thing about living in the West is that we have no reliable means of knowing who is in charge. The circumstantial evidence is overwhelming that it is NOT President Donald Trump, British Prime Minister Andy Burnham, French President Emmanuel Macron, or German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.

When I paid off my mortgage, I thought - finally - I'd no longer have to make monthly payments. Anyone who "owns" (a sad term, given the realities) their home knows better. The payments aren't monthly - like a mortgage or rental payment - but that doesn't change the fact that you're making them.

It occurs to me that it would be a helpful exercise - to help people understand the reality of their situation - to think about the payments they're having to make on a monthly rather than once every six months or once a year basis.

"Woe to those who plan iniquity, to those who plot evil on their beds ! At morning's light they carry it out because it is in their power to do it. They covet fields and seize them, and houses, and take them. They defraud people of their homes, they rob them of their inheritance." - Micah 2:1-2

Why statins fail, how their injuries are hidden, and what really causes heart disease.

The more I study science, the more I come to see how often fundamental facts end up being changed so that a profitable industry can be created. In the case of heart disease, I very much believe that is the case and in this publication, I've tried to expose the erroneous information that predominates our understanding of this subject (e.g., previously I've discussed why our model of how the heart pumps blood in the body is incorrect, the forgotten Russian research that shows the heart intelligently controls how blood moves within the body, and how blood pressure management is filled with erroneous premises that exist to perpetually sell medications).

Imagine running a private company where most of your office buildings failed to meet even a 60% utilization target, yet you continued paying the rent, utilities, maintenance, security, repairs, and operating costs year after year. How long would that company survive ? Welcome to the federal government.

The Government Accountability Office examined the Department of Transportation's real estate portfolio and found that 89% of its 189 federally owned and leased office buildings failed to meet the government's own 60% utilization benchmark.

Twenty-three years ago, the United States invaded Iraq under the guise of finding and removing weapons of mass destruction. Less than a year later, the public learned there were no WMDs, despite persuasive dog-and-pony shows by the officials who had convinced Congress that there were. Even though the primary reason for the invasion was no longer in play, the U.S.

I have come to the conclusion that journalism in the West has been replaced by hired narratives and that reporters report the narrative that they are hired to tell. It is a new form of vanity press in which interest groups hire a propaganda service to market their agenda.

I will present a current example. On September 28 US Central Command denied that Iran had control of the Strait of Hormuz.

It's rather forgotten today how Washington's post-9/11 imperial adventurism was not restricted to military intervention. A core component of the Bush administration's "Freedom Agenda" - under the auspices of which calamitous wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere were waged - was overt sponsorship of civil society-led coups throughout the former Soviet Union, Warsaw Pact and Yugoslavia.

Pity Latin American voters. On election day, they are faced with two choices - right-wing candidates or left-wing candidates. The right-wing candidates come with "free-market" policies combined with a powerful standing army with omnipotent powers, one that ensures the destruction of civil liberties. The left-wing candidates come with massive welfare-state socialist policies that plunge the country into severe economic and monetary crises.

Before the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre leveled thirty-five blocks in eighteen hours, the Greenwood District was the wealthiest Black community in America. Its main street held hotels, theaters, law firms, newspapers, and a hospital - all Black-owned, all built from scratch in the shadow of Oklahoma's oil boom.

This is the story of how Greenwood rose from a forty-acre land purchase into a self-sustaining commercial district that rivaled any in the country, and how one night of coordinated violence, followed by decades of insurance denial, rezoning schemes, and interstate highway construction, ensured it would never fully return.
