The strategy of tension (Italian: strategia della tensione) in any language, even as reported by Wikipedia in an article dotted with claims for documentation that appear to be distractions, is a tactic that aims to divide, manipulate, and control public opinion using fear, propaganda, disinformation, psychological warfare, agents provocateur, and false flag terrorist actions. Sound like today’s news? It’s not. But it does have an inglorious tradition that goes back to the CIA-supported, neofascist movement, Operation Gladio, post World War II. Continue reading →
Laying claim to be the first news channel to hit such a milestone, Russia Today (RT) has revealed that it has notched up one billion views on YouTube. Looking at the world through fresh eyes, as it were, RT.com brings you to history in the making as strikingly as television brought you the Vietnam war on your network news decades ago, and film documentaries captured history during WW II.

Last Wednesday, I heard Perianne Boring, a new reporter on RT.com, report that Ben Bernanke was planning to resign as head of the Federal Reserve and that Larry Summers name had been mentioned as a replacement. I flashed back to four years ago and an article I wrote called “Bankrupting the world,” which said that Tim Geithner was just the face, the voice, behind the PPPIP (Public Private Partnership Investment Program) giveaway to America’s top commercial banks to restore what amounts to $200 trillion in their cumulative derivative debt.

First, you find two or more young, disgruntled immigrants and/or U.S. citizens, preferably from countries that have been violated by the U.S. or another superpower, like Russia. They might have been taken to the U.S. by parents who were refugees, looking for asylum from some part of the world like Chechnya, split by civil war, brutal repression of the larger power, seeming to breed terrorists who had already been creating attacks against civilians, including schools, movie theaters, public events, within that larger power.

We’ve come a long way since I first wrote about 9/11 first responders battles with cancers in 9/11’s second round of slaughter. That was in Online Journal, January 16, 2008. It was a review of the documentary Dust to Dust: the health effects of 9/11, a landmark film by Heidi Dehncke-Fisher that began by pointing out the list of toxins in the air that day . . .

Experts Alan Schwarz and Sarah Cohen write in their latest NY Times Article, ADHD Seen in 11% of US Children as Diagnoses Rise . . . “that breaks down to one in five high school age boys in the United States and 11 percent of school-age children over all having received a medical diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, according to new data from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.” Continue reading →
Writing recently in Consortium News Robert Parry said, “To think that the criminal Ronald Reagan is still being talked up as a candidate for Mt. Rushmore, besides scores of other ludicrous honors already in place, is a testament to the rewriting of history by the powerful.” The editors added, “The miracle is that Abolhassan Bani-Sadr is still alive after defying such powerful Mafiosi.” Continue reading →
The 115 voting members of the College of Cardinals moved with great alacrity to send a signal that they meant to shake up the church. In a two-day conclave, a speedy election voted in Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio, Archbishop of Buenos Aires, to succeed Pope Benedict XVI. And, at least for appearances sake, he became the first South American ever to grace the papal throne. In fact, he’s the first pope since 741 A.D. not to come from a European country. Continue reading →
Out of the blue on Monday, Pope Benedict announced his retirement, giving as his reason, “In today’s world, subject to so many rapid changes and shaken by questions of deep relevance for the life of faith, in order to govern the bark of Saint Peter and proclaim the Gospel, both strength of mind and body are necessary, strength which in the last few months, has deteriorated in me to the extent that I have had to recognize my incapacity to adequately fulfill the ministry entrusted to me.” He is stepping down on February 28.

I should have known better. Both Jim Fetzer and Kevin Barrett claimed, on the Internet, that Sandy Hook was a false-flag op. Yet, out of some naive urge that Americans couldn’t be that cruel (mea culpa), I tried to give a more reasonable explanation of what Jeff Prager had questioned and written in an article posted on Barrett’s Truth Jihad Radio, mainly that Chief Medical Examiner D. Wayne Carver II, MD, of Connecticut, acted and answered strangely in a press conference flanked by Connecticut State Police. Continue reading →
First of all, who is Jack Lew, nominated for Treasury secretary by Barack Obama? He’s a Citibank alumnus, a former White House budget director, under Clinton and Obama, then became Obama’s chief of staff. Continue reading →
Those like myself who believe the government utilizes weather-modification weapons to cause hurricanes, even earthquakes, disdain the title ‘conspiracy theorists,’ particularly those concerned about HAARP, the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program. which the European Union called a global concern and passed a resolution, as well, calling for more information on its health and environmental risks. In spite of these concerns, officials at HAARP insist the project is nothing more sinister than a radio science research facility, that is, until the military gets its hands on it. Continue reading →

Just war
Posted on May 31, 2013 by Jerry Mazza
What do I mean by just war? Just to fight forever and ever, no sweat, just hold to your gun, your anger, and willingness to kill and conquer in perpetuity. Or does just war mean you are fighting for a just not an evil cause, an ethical, moral, or judicious idea for society. Or can “just war” encompass the two meanings together? That is just fighting forever and ever against constant evil and providing no corrective benefits to society, or that fail ethically and morally in terms of their value to the health of the world?
