"Liberalism and secularism are considered to be cornerstones of Western civilization, though many feel that their overemphasis has led away from traditional values and ethics into exceptionalism, intolerance and aggression. How have these factors influenced Western political thought, and can history's lessons help us avoid major confrontation in such a turbulent geopolitical environment? Oksana is joined by Hanne Nabintu Herland, author and historian of religions, to reflect on these issues." - See related articles shown below....

Boosting trade in Yuan is a solution proposed by Beijing’s commerce minister." - Source:  CounterPunch - also posted at WkUpF/YrSlmbr

Obama’s Permanent War Agenda
Must Read - A quote...."He continues a longstanding tradition. America’s agenda is permanent war. -- Lew Rockwell calls it “The Forever War.” Law Professor Marjorie Cohn says it “perpetual war.” -- So did Gore Vidal in his 2002 book titled “Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace,” saying:
“(O)ur for more than half a century have made sure that we are never to be told the truth about anything that our government has done to other people, not to mention our own.”
"In his same year book titled “Dreaming War,” he compared GW Bush’s imperial ambitions to WW II and the 1947 Truman Doctrine’s pledge...."
“To support free peoples who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressures.”

U.S. War Against Russia Is Now Against Hungary Too
Must Read - A quote...."December 26, 2014 "ICH" - Hungary has decided to align itself with Russia against the United States. -- The Western Alliance is starting to fray, over the insistence by Barack Obama and the U.S. Congress to go to war against Russia. -- This is called a ‘new cold war,’ but it’s actually already a hot war within Ukraine, immediately next door to Russia. -- America’s plan to locate nuclear missiles there aimed against Russia has made stunning progress this year. The formerly neutral nation of Ukraine has now become officially anti-Russian. Because of the Obama coup, Ukraine is suffering a civil war between the Ukrainian regime that Obama’s CIA and mercenaries installed in Kiev on 22 February 2014, versus the people in Ukraine’s far eastern districts, where the Ukrainian President whom Obama was overthrowing had received around 90% of all the votes that had been cast there, and so the newly installed Obama regime in Kiev in the west was overwhelmingly rejected by them — hence, Ukraine’s civil war is raging there now, with Obama’s Kiev regime trying to eliminate the residents there."

Must Read - A quote...."December 26, 2014 "ICH" - "ashiftinconsciousness" - Look at the things we teach our children: that it’s OK to do horrible things – just don’t get caught. - Imagine someone was caught teaching their children it’s acceptable to torture, but not acceptable to talk about it because people would then hate you. That person’s children would be taken away. - However, when the CIA tortures people for nothing more than the suspicion that they MIGHT have done something wrong (according to the “moral” code of the dominant war-machine culture) and corporate media complains about the people bringing up the issue instead of complaining about the torture itself, something is seriously wrong. We’re obviously being conditioned to accept violent, aberrant behavior and to exist in an amoral society." - Source:  AShiftInConsciousness

The Christmas Hope: A To-Do List for a Better World
A quote...."December 26, 2014 "ICH" - As a child, my Christmas wish list came right out of the Sears and Roebuck catalogue—toys, board games, bikes, action figures, etc. My parents, like so many in their day, belonged to the working-class poor, so while I never lacked for the necessities of life, many of the items on my wish list never came to be. Even so, I was no worse off for it."

Kiev to Pull Back Heavy Arms in 48 Hours After Complete Ceasefire
Deceptive Title Alert - Related Article - Notice how utterly useless this title is?  The Minsk "peace" (Trans-national, Euro-Kazarian delay, procrastinate and obfuscate till their preparations for a blitzkrieg are in place) talks have collapsed (see article posted above) -- As they were intended too -- For an example of this style of negotiating technique by trans-national Euro-Kazarians, all one has to do it take a look at the "talks" with Iran regarding the NPT, or Israeli talks with the Palestinians. -- Every time it looks like an "agreement is at hand" they'll just add another demand, until the talks collapse. -- It's a childishly obvious strategy, but in relentlessly propagandized populations, such as those in Amerika, a population that also suffers from an astounding lack of curiosity, or any capability for critical analysis, or for that matter, the slightest capacity for empathy, they just never "seem" to catch on. - mpg

A quote...."One afternoon in late October, Kalashnikov-armed pro-Russian separatists led two accused rapists into the House of Culture in Alchevsk in the self-declared Luhansk People's Republic for a “people's court,” twisting their arms behind their backs so they were forced to bend over as they walked. -- One read out the evidence gathered against the first man by the rebels' military police unit, arguing the 37-year-old had threatened a 15-year-old girl until she agreed to have sex with him. -- Then he asked the 340 local citizens and rebels assembled in the hall to vote to sentence him “to the highest form of punishment according to the laws of wartime, death by firing squad.” -- The crowd voted to send the first man to redeem himself on the front line, where rebels continue to clash with government forces. It sentenced the second man, accused of at least three rapes since 2008, to death."

I also think credit will actually seize up in and around this reset. What I really think you are going to see with a credit seizure is a problem with distribution. When I say distribution, look what happened this past week in Belarus. Because the Russian ruble collapsed, the Belarusians, because their currency is tied to the ruble, they went out and made a run on their banks and went into stores and took everything off the shelves. How are those shelves going to get restocked?”

Then, on 19 June 2014, Igor Alexeev at the oilprce blog presented the reasonable hypothesis of  “The Real Reason Shell Halted Its Ukrainian Shale Operations”: “In reality, the truth may be closer to the fact that company is disappointed with the economic viability of what it once thought was a large shale deposit and is looking for a way out.” -- The other big gas deal in Ukraine was with Chevron, and it was in the western part of the country, where there was and is no civil war. On Monday night 15 December 2014, Reuters headlined, “Ukraine says Chevron plans to pull out of $10 bln shale gas deal,” and reported that, “Chevron had told the government it was pulling out of the deal,” and that Chevron “declined to give further details.”"

In it Putin expressed dismay and concern at the manner in which Russia’s “Western partners” were behaving, even going so far as to declare Western intentions as being purposely aimed at controlling Russian national resources and leaving Russia a de facto vassal state.

It's not futile if you deliberately, and successfully, use torture to produce lies and false confessions.  Which has been its historical use. - mpg -- A quote...."December 23, 2014 "ICH" -  It has long been known that torture does not work. One can go back to the Enlightenment. In 1764 Cesare Beccaria published his groundbreaking work, On Crimes and Punishments. Beccaria had examined all the evidence available at that time and concluded that individuals under torture will tell their interrogator anything they want to hear, true or not, just to get the pain to stop. Beccaria’s book led to a temporary waning of the state-ordered torture."

One image reportedly shows a female soldier pretending to sodomize a naked prisoner with a broom, while others allegedly depict US troops pointing guns at detainees' heads."

BREAKING: We Can Conclusively Confirm North Korea Was Not Behind #Sony Hack
15]   Must Read -- Obama & The FBI Caught Making It All Up - A quote...."Gotnews.com can confirm that North Korea was not behind the Sony hack contrary to major media reports. - An investigation into the data shows that someone copied the released 200GB of data over 5-6 hours on the night of November 21st. -- Based on the date time stamps of the released data the transfer speed is roughly in the range of 480Mbit/s which equates to USB 2.0. -- We don’t know what time zone that time stamped data comes from. (The time is the mtime Unix Time format, local time of the machine. It’s not compensating for any time zone. It doesn’t know the time zone so if the computer is running from 10 pm to 2 AM at Sony Pictures Entertain in Los Angeles that means a potential hacker in Japan could be just ending the work day at 7 PM Tokyo time.)"

Emails Reveal US State Department Influenced Sony’s “The Interview” so as to Encourage Assassination and Regime Change in North Korea -- 15]   A quote...."The Daily Beast reported yesterday on leaked emails from the Sony hack which show that the United States government was involved at high levels with the content development of The Interview, especially its controversial ending depicting the assassination of North Korean ruler Kim Jong-Un. As the report’s headline states, “Sony Emails Say State Department Blessed Kim Jong-Un Assassination in ‘The Interview.’” The emails also reveal that a RAND corporation senior defense analyst who consulted on the film went beyond “blessing” and outright influenced the end of the film, encouraging the CEO of Sony Entertainment to leave the assassination scene as it was (in spite of misgivings at Sony) for the sake of encouraging North Koreans to actually assassinate Kim Jong-Un and depose his regime when the movie eventually leaks into that country."

But the EU wanted its land, its 48 million people (such a reservoir of cheap labour!) its Black Sea coast, its coal and its wheat. -- So first, it spent £300 million (some of it yours) on anti-Russian ‘civil society’ groups in Ukraine.

If the rouble were fixed to the dollar, then since the dollar is currently appreciating and since the price of oil (Russia’s key export) is priced in dollars, Russia’s budget and trade balance would quickly fall into deficit." - For more on this issue see the three essays posted below.....

That means our market economy has been destroyed. It really means our democracy has been destroyed because they don’t tell us what they are doing. This is a real failure of financial journalism.

Following a sloppy State Department-backed coup in Kiev, Washington has consolidated its power in the Capital, removed dissident elements in the government, deployed the CIA to oversee operations, launched a number of attacks on rebel forces in the east, transferred ownership of Ukraine’s vital pipeline system to US puppets and foreign corporations, created a tollbooth separating Moscow from the lucrative EU market, foiled a Russian plan to build an alternate pipeline to southern Europe (South Stream), built up its military assets in the Balkans and Black Sea and, finally–the cherry on the cake–initiated a daring sneak attack on Russia’s currency by employing its Saudi-proxy to flood the market with oil, push prices off a cliff, and trigger a run on the ruble which slashed its value by more than half forcing retail currency platforms to stop trading the battered ruble until prices stabilized."  ---  "The first order of business should be a fundamental change in approach followed by a quick switch from defense to offense. There should be no doubt by now, that Washington is going for the jugular. The attack on the ruble provides clear evidence that the US will not be satisfied until Russia has been decimated and reduced to “a permanent state of colonial dependency.” (Chomsky) The United States has launched a full-blown economic war on Russia and yet the Kremlin is still acting like Washington’s punching bag.

Must Read - The Attack On The Ruble - Related Article - A quote...."December 19, 2014 - Think about this for a minute. Allegedly the US is experiencing economic recovery. Normally with rising economic activity interest rates rise as consumers and investors bid for credit. But not in this “recovery.” -- Normally an economic recovery produces rising consumer spending, rising profits, and more investment. But what we experience is flat and declining consumer spending as jobs are offshored and retail stores close. Profits result from labor cost savings from employee layoffs. -- The stock market is high because corporations are the biggest purchases of stock. Buying back their own stock supports or raises the share price, enabling executives and boards to sell their shares or cash in their options at a profitable price. The cash that Quantitative Easing has given to the mega-banks leaves ample room for speculating in stocks, thus pushing up the price despite the absence of fundamentals that would support a rising stock market. -- In other words, in America today there are no free financial markets. The markets are rigged by the Federal Reserve’s Quantitative Easing, by gold price manipulation, by the Treasury’s Plunge Protection Team and Exchange Stabilization Fund, and by the big private banks." - also posted at ICH

It’s nice to think who we are is determined not by the things we did the day before, but by the stated ideals we hope to aspire to fulfill, starting tomorrow. In a nation-state founded by settler-colonial Protestants, the argument is familiar – it’s what’s deep down inside that gets one up into heaven, not the good or genocidal nature of what one does down here on Earth – and as with any half-decent lie, it’s relatable: as fallible human beings, we’d all rather like to believe that we’re not as bad as we are but as good as we say we would like to be." - Source:  Salon - also posted at WashBlog & ICH

Today so-called terrorists are picked up on the street and hurt severely without even being put before a judge and jury. These people are the antithesis of Jesus and have nothing in common with him. Their pathetic excuse is that we are in a time of war. There is no war because Congress has not said so, but far beyond that every human being on earth has a natural moral compass inside themselves and unless you are a complete psychopath it tells you what is right and wrong."

Why so sensitive? -- Because the FBI botched its investigation, never had even the shred of a case against Ivins, and this is not the first time they were called out on it. The 2011 National Academy of Science (NAS) report pointed out the same things as this GAO report: that FBI and its contractors developed methods that were not validated. They never proved that the anthrax in the letters actually grew from parent spores in Ivins’ flask, as FBI purports. This failed claim forms the linchpin of the FBI’s entire case." - Source:  WashBlog

Report: FBI's Anthrax Investigation Was Flawed
A quote...."The FBI used flawed scientific methods to investigate the 2001 anthrax attacks that killed five people and sickened 17 others, federal auditors said Friday in a report sure to fuel skepticism over the FBI's conclusion that Army biodefense researcher Bruce Ivins was the sole perpetrator."
What is it with this pretense?  Everyone knows Ivins didn't do it.  Everyone knows he had no access to this particular "weaponized" strain of anthrax. Everyone knows he was set-up by the FBI as a patsy.  Everyone knows Israel was involved. Just when is this country going to grow up??- mpg - Topix  ||  Anthrax Attacks  ||

I Am Having Trouble Focusing On What I Am Supposed To Be Scared Of
A quote...."One of the reasons I live in Anarchapulco is because Western media gets almost no play down here. Typically the day's conversation ranges from how beautiful and wonderful of a day it is to when is the next fiesta (invariably it is at least every week). -- However, in my role of Dollar Vigilante a big part of my job is paying attention to what is going on in the world ... and watching and reading US media always leaves me flabbergasted."

Bush v. Clinton In 2016? New World Order Dream Matchup Being Touted As ‘Inevitable’
A quote...."The next presidential election is still nearly two years away, and yet the mainstream media is already telling Americans who they are supposed to vote for.  Now that Jeb Bush has all but officially declared that he is running for president, a “dream matchup” between Bush and Hillary Clinton is being touted as “inevitable”.  But is this what the American people actually want?  Most liberals seem to truly dislike Clinton, and most conservatives can’t stand Bush at this point.  And yet when the time comes, the big money donors will line up behind them and they will get far more media coverage than the other candidates.  Yes, there is still a chance that another establishment candidate such as Mitt Romney could jump ahead of Bush on the Republican side, and there is also a chance that Hillary Clinton may decide not to run at all (more on that below).  But when it is all said and done, it is virtually certain that Americans will have a choice between establishment candidate #1 and establishment candidate #2 on election day 2016, and that is absolutely sickening." - bold/underline by website editor

Would You Buy An Obamamobile From This Man?
A quote...."Consider the prospect of buying a car at a certain price, but not knowing what the costs for gasoline, oil changes, tires or other repairs would cost until after you made a purchase. Parking this Obamabile might cost $5 per hour, maybe $500; who knows? Maybe that defective air bag or gas pedal is covered under the warranty: maybe it isn't. That doesn't seem right, or legal, does it? -- That's basically what people are doing when they purchase individual health insurance, especially Affordable Care Act Insurance." - also posted at AlethoNews

Junk Bonds Are Going To Tell Us Where The Stock Market Is Heading In 2015
Charts - (click to enlarge) -- A quote...."Do you want to know if the stock market is going to crash next year?  Just keep an eye on junk bonds.  Prior to the horrific collapse of stocks in 2008, high yield debt collapsed first.  And as you will see below, high yield debt is starting to crash again.  The primary reason for this is the price of oil.  The energy sector accounts for approximately 15 to 20 percent of the entire junk bond market, and those energy bonds are taking a tremendous beating right now.  This panic in energy bonds is infecting the broader high yield debt market, and investors have been pulling money out at a frightening pace." - Source:  ZeroHedge
