‘Chairman Cash’ – John Podesta is Paid $7,000 a Month by Foundation Run by Banker With Ties to Financial Crisis

by

Last Friday, I published a post titled, John Podesta’s Sister-in-Law Lobbied For Raytheon While Hillary Was Secretary of State, which understandably got totally buried in the madness surrounding the latest FBI news. Here’s the first paragraph of that post: The Podesta family seems particularly adept at earning extraordinary sums of money via selling out the American public. Earlier this … Read more

John Podesta’s Sister-in-Law Lobbied For Raytheon While Hillary Was Secretary of State

by

The Podesta family seems particularly adept at earning extraordinary sums of money via selling out the American public. Earlier this year, I highlighted how John Podesta’s brother Tony was paid $140,000 per month by the medieval monarchy of Saudi Arabia. After all, who cares about women’s rights when the pay is good? Here’s a excerpt from the post, “Getting Things Done” … Read more

Must Read of the Day – Dennis Kucinich’s Extraordinary Warning on D.C.’s Think Tank Warmongers

by

WAR is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives. A racket is best described, I believe, as … Read more

The geopolitical situation across the world continues to deteriorate to a very worrisome degree.

Things Are Going From Bad to Worse – Iraqi PM Warns of ‘Regional War’

by

One of the most discomforting aspects of Neil Howe and William Strauss’ seminal work on generational cycles, The Fourth Turning (1997), is the fact that as far as American history is concerned, they all climax and end with massive wars. To be more specific, the first “fourth turning” in American history culminated with the Revolutionary War (1775-1783), the second … Read more

The Secret Global Court – Why Corporate Criminals and Corrupt Politicians Desperately Want the TPP

by

Obama needs to ensure he gets well compensated after leaving office for a job well done protecting, defending and further enriching the global oligarch class. This is precisely why he’s so adamant about passing the TPP during the upcoming lame duck session of Congress, when he knows “representatives” who no longer face reelection can be coerced or bribed into … Read more

Hillary Clinton Enters the Media Wars

by

Earlier this week, I published a post titled Questioning Hillary’s Health is Not Conspiracy Theory, in which I wrote: As I look at the landscape in 2016 to-date, I observe emergent signs that alternative media is finally beginning to take over from the legacy mainstream media when it comes to impact and influence. The mainstream media (unlike with John McCain in … Read more
