    With the US-Iran War Ball Now Rolling, Could an “Accident” or “False Flag” Serve as Pretext? by Whitney Webb

    14 May 2019 — Mint Press

    Certain forces in the U.S. and Israel have been actively pushing for war with Iran for years and have a track record that demonstrates little inhibition about using an “accident” to start it.

    As tensions between the U.S. and Iran threaten to boil over, the probability of a provocation or “accident” that would provoke hostilities between the two countries is higher than ever. U.K. Foreign Minister Jeremy Hunt, after meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, openly stated as much on Monday, telling reporters in Brussels that the U.K. was worried of a conflict breaking out between the U.S. and Iran by “accident with an escalation that is unintended really on either side but ends with some kind of conflict.”

    Government forced to delete millions of illegal citizen biometric voiceprints

    14 May 2019 — True Publica

    Last year, TruePublica published an article about how the British government were now going ‘full Orwellian‘ in their attempt to build a national biometric database. The opening line to the article was – “We said that the government would eventually take the biometric data of every single citizen living in Britain and use it for nefarious reasons.  DNA, fingerprint, face, and even voice data will be included. But that’s not all.”

    No comments on Inequality and risk – both rising by Michael Roberts

    Inequality and risk – both rising by Michael Roberts

    14 May 2019 — Michael Roberts Blog

    The US Federal Reserve governor Lael Brainard, in a speech in Washington, revealed the extent of rising inequality in the US.  Using the latest income and wealth data, she outlined that the incomes and wealth of working-class (the American establishments like to use ‘middle-class’) households in the US have been squeezed in the last 50 years and particularly in the last 20 years.

    Insidious Aggression: Sanctions as Covert Warfare By Tim Beal

    13 May 2019 — Covert Action

    Sanctions are merely warfare by another name

    The most successful murder, it is said, is one that is not recognized as murder but can be passed off as suicide or accident. This avoids the problem of disposing of the body, a dangerous and troublesome thing according to the literature and one which the Saudi hit team that killed Jamal Khashoggi labored over mightily. More importantly, if there is no murder, then there is no search for a murderer.

    United States and Venezuela: A Historical Background

    13 May 2019 — James Petras

    Introduction: US hostility and efforts to overthrow the Venezuelan government forms parts of a long and inglorious history of US intervention in Latin America going back to the second decade of the 19th century.In 1823 US President Monroe declared, in his name, the ‘Monroe Doctrine” – the US right to keep Europeans out of the region, but the right of the US to intervene in pursuit of its economic, political and military interests.

    Evidence that Douma ‘chemical attack’ was staged: OPCW’s unpublished engineers’ report By Tim Hayward

    13 May 2019 — Tim Hayward

    The alleged chemical attack on Douma in April 2018 was the pretext for airstrikes on Syria by France, UK and US. The final report on the alleged attack published by the OPCW left unexplained why its Fact-Finding Mission (FFM) had made no engineering assessments during its visit to Douma in April 2018, when experts could have inspected the sites with cylinders in position, rather than six months later when inspection was no longer possible and assessments had to rely on images and measurements obtained by others. A Briefing Note by the Working Group on Syria Propaganda & Media highlighted this as an obvious anomaly.

    Jerusalem cable car project passes over objections from many quarters

    Political interests drive tourism plan that would blight historic city’s skyline and bypass Palestinians

    The National – 13 May 2019

    A proposed cable car project through occupied East Jerusalem has received new impetus from the rise of the Israeli far right and Washington’s decision to move its embassy to the city. But if completed, critics say, the long-running proposal would contribute to erasing the visibility of Palestinians in the city they hope to make their capital.

    The Zionist Idea Has Never Been More Terrifying than It Is Today By Rima Najjar

    11 May 2019 — Global Research
    On this seventy-first annual commemoration of Palestine’s Jewish-state Nakba, let’s resolve not to continue to oversimplify things.

    Whether you believe the American rabbi and historian Arthur Hertzberg’s assessment of the Zionist idea as “unprecedented … an essential dialogue between the Jew and the nations of the earth”, rather than a matter between Jews and God, or you believe the assessment of Ass’ad Razzouk, researcher and contributor to the PLO Research Center’s 1970 Arabic translation of Hertzberg’s book, that Zionism, at its heart, emerged naturally from Jewish religious sources and is thoroughly influenced and motivated by traditional Jewish religious ideas, both conscious and unconscious, the fact remains that there exists a complex picture of the relationship between Judaism and Zionism.

    The Re-Opening of the Swedish Assange Case Should Be Welcomed By Craig Murray

    13 May 2019 — Craig Murray

    That the Swedish investigation into the rape allegation against Julian Assange is being re-opened is something that ought to be welcomed. The alternative would be for this accusation to hang unresolved over Julian’s head forever. The Swedish prosecutors now need finally, as my father used to say, either to piss or get off the pot. They need to decide whether there is sufficient evidence to charge or not.

    Scientists call for Protection from Non-ionizing Electromagnetic Field Exposure

    We are scientists engaged in the study of biological and health effects of non-ionizing electromagnetic fields (EMF). Based upon peer-reviewed, published research, we have serious concerns regarding the ubiquitous and increasing exposure to EMF generated by electric and wireless devices. These include–but are not limited to–radiofrequency radiation (RFR) emitting devices, such as cellular and cordless phones and their base stations, Wi-Fi, broadcast antennas, smart meters, and baby monitors as well as electric devices and infra-structures used in the delivery of electricity that generate extremely-low frequency electromagnetic field (ELF EMF).

    NHS privatisation – the endgame now in sight

    At TruePublica we published the story of how the government was deliberately dismantling the UK welfare state with the help of American ‘healthcare’ corporations, the result being that thousands of people have subsequently died at the hands of the state. Here, another story emerges that the NHS is being dismantled, again with the assistance of American corporations whose only desire is to turn a profit from a service being strangled by government budget constraints. Private healthcare firms have just been offered a substantial say in deciding how billions of pounds of NHS money is to be spent.
