Post-war Iraq: ‘Everybody is corrupt, from top to bottom. Including me’

One of Iraq’s anti-corruption leaders sat in his office, waving his hands in exasperation. “There is no solution,” he said. “Everybody is corrupt, from the top of society to the bottom. Everyone.

A Touch Of Dystopia: Milwaukee Police Hid Stingray Use From Courts, Says ACLU

Scrutinous pressure continues to bury Milwaukee’s police department despite its recent DOJ-sponsored public forum. Days later, the ACLU blasted the MPD’s ongoing, warrantless, bulk collection of cell phone data.

False Flag Operations

When Amsterdam ~ Kuala Lumpur bound Malayan airliner MH17 was destroyed on July 17, 2014 the jet was carrying 298 passengers and crew.

Doctors Without Borders Calls For Independent Investigation

Print Friendly Above Photo: From PopularResistance.org. The US version of events presented today leaves MSF with more questions than answers. It is shocking that an attack can be carried out when US forces have neither eyes on a target nor access to a no-strike list, and have malfunctioning communications systems. It appears that 30 people […]

     Danish scientist Jan Oberg, director of the Transnational Foundation for Peace and Research, has managed to accurately describe NATO using only words (and no vulgar hand gestures).

White House knows the violence stems from occupation, but won’t spend political capital to say so — Dakwar

I am unaware that the State Department has condemned the lynching of the Eritrean, other than to say that “people shouldn’t take the law into their own hands”. From yesterday’s briefing (in which Mr. Toner later “condemned” a specific act of ISIL): QUESTION: I just want to follow on Brad’s point. MR TONER: Please. QUESTION: […]

World Leaders are Trained to Manipulate Their Audiences with Body Language

Leif Davenport, StaffWaking Times Psychology research has shown the power of body language to influence the mind.
