Trump's Twisted Foreign Policy

“President Trump proved not only unable, but unwilling to stand up to Putin." - U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ)

(SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.) - By constantly belittling our European allies, recently undermining British Prime Minister Theresa May, threatening trade wars with them, Canada and China, undercutting NATO, failure to honor international agreements, Trump’s “America First” foreign policy is becoming an “America Alone” policy.

Trump went to Helsinki for a cozy two-hour one-on-one meeting with Russian president Vladimir Putin.

Silencing Diversity in the Name of Diversity

I am opposed to any form of bigotry, hatred of Muslims is no exception.

(LONDON) - For the last three decades this genocidal war against Muslims and Arabs has intensified and become an official Western policy. This transition is the achievement of the Neocon school, who have attempted to redefine Zionism as the struggle for a promised planet instead of just a promised land.

Within the context of the global war we have declared on Muslims and Arabs on behalf of Zion, in the name of Coca Cola and Gay Rights, it is rational to expect that at some point Muslims may retaliate.

FDA can be sued in Prescription Opioid Epidemic -- and should be!

"...the clinical evidence review found insufficient evidence to determine long-term benefits of opioid therapy for chronic pain..."

(MYRTLE BEACH, SC) - The FDA's approval of dangerous prescription opioids over the years can best be described as "fire, aim, ready" as the epidemic continues to rage out of control.

I encourage every Attorney General and law firm in the country suing Purdue Pharma, maker of OxyContin to read this filing carefully and apply it to current and future lawsuits.

The best results come from informed decision-making.

(SALEM, Ore.) - Casual investing is not a new phenomenon. If you are a regular income earner, then you probably know that you should be saving money and investing for your future.

Trump has invited the bigots to speak and act openly

(SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.) - Just after the attack, Trump did offer condolences to those affected and did order the flag at the White House and all flags on public buildings, military posts, naval vessels, embassies abroad and other locations until sunset of the evening of the shooting.

However, a week after the shooting during a campaign-style rally in Montana, Trump was back to his old media bashing ways calling them "downright dishonest" and "really bad people".

Seattle and Portland continue to be the most dramatic areas of increase.

(SALEM, Ore.) - Many heroin suffers who participated in an outpatient in Seattle drug treatment program, started off abusing prescription painkillers prescribed as a result of chronic pain or surgery.

Burial at Sea

"Mister, I wouldn't have your job for a million dollars." I shook his hand and said, "Neither would I."

(USA) - War is the seminal event in the life of everyone that has endured it. Though I fought in Korea and the Dominican Republic and was wounded there, Vietnam was my war.

Now 42 years have passed and, thankfully, I rarely think of those days in Cambodia, Laos, and the panhandle of North Vietnam where small teams of Americans and Montangards fought much larger elements of the North Vietnamese Army. Instead I see vignettes: some exotic, some mundane...

The New Oil Cartel Threatening OPEC

China is the undisputed leader in global EV adoption

(LONDON / OilPrice.com) - When reports emerged that India and China are in talks about forming an oil buyers' club, OPEC was probably too busy with its upcoming June 22 meeting to concern itself with that dangerous alliance. Now, it may be time for it to start worrying.

"The timing is right. The boom in U.S. oil and gas production gives us greater leverage against OPEC," the Times of India quoted an Indian official as saying last month after the formal start of said talks.

Truth, Truthfulness and Palestine

Talk delivered at Deep Truth-Countering Deep State Lies (online conference)

(LONDON) - A healthy society doesn’t need a ‘truth movement.’ But we Americans, Brits, French and Germans are far from healthy and our so-called ‘truth movements’ haven’t led us towards any sources of light. The question is: Why?

One possible answer is that ‘truth movements’ are ideal environments for the operators of controlled opposition...

Russia was tossed out of the Group after it annexed Crimea and intervened in the Ukraine and did so even after Russia intervened in the 2016 presidential election. Soon there will be only a de facto G6 Group.

Different forms of Both Teams To Score Bets

Doing your research will give you needed knowledge.

(SALEM, Ore.) - After the basic ‘match result’ market, betting on Both Teams To Score bets are one of the most favourable. The primary version of this doesn’t affect what the final score is, how many goals there are or which side wins, as long as both teams score at least one goal each, meaning there needs to be a minimum scoreline of 1-1 by the time the games reached the full ninety minutes.

As there’s far less at stake and plenty more time for your bet to land, BTTS bets are arguably even more worth doing than match result bets.

The Unknown Transformation of Malcolm X - Palestine: Seeking The Enemy Within

A Response to Separation of Struggles Against Oppression on Tribal and National Boundaries

(Project Humanbeingsfirst.org) - Malcolm X's early views on separation from his oppressor's race are well known among those who study him, and poorly understood by others who have merely heard of them in relation to Reverend Martin Luther King's penchant for integration with the White Man.

The views expressed in the article 'Jewish Voice for Peace? Really??' by Nahida the Exiled Palestinian, echo a poignantly similar theme to the motivations for separation espoused by Malcolm X before his transformative pilgrimage to Mecca.
