“Iran 1953: How Britain and the CIA Overthrew a Country to Keep Its Oil”

“Most Westerners grow up with a cartoon version of Iran’s history. A neat little story about a ‘crazy regime,’ a ‘backward country,’ and a ‘dangerous revolution.’ What they never hear is that Iran once had a democracy. A real one. And the West destroyed it because Iran dared to say its oil belonged to its own people”

    A proposed White House rule would give political appointees unprecedented control over scientific funding.

            So Trump has used up so many interceptors and other ammunition that it will take at least four years and 1.5 trillion dollars (perhaps much more) to replace them.

            The US has been bullying the rest of the world for decades, in part based on a vastly overstated reputation for military power and prowess.

            The bully has just been shown to have a glass jaw. What will the rest of the world do now?

                                                            Trump "is laying the groundwork for blacklisting & criminalizing all left-wing, progressive, anti-war & anti-imperialist dissent."

                                                            "Elections will be sabotaged in the name of 'national security.' Left-wing dissent will be criminalized in the name of 'combating terrorism.' Democracy will be snuffed out in the name of protecting 'freedom'.”
