America's Mein Kampf — 20 Years Later

Submitted by Pluto's Republic on Tue, 04/21/2015 - 12:39am

The Cooperative Global Strategy to marginalize US influence in the world has been in place since, at least, 2003 — following the criminally spurious US attack on Iraq, which killed more than a million innocent civilians and destabilized the entire Middle East.

Most likely, the Strategy to marginalize the US first came into existence in the late 1990s, after the "Project for a New American Century" Neocon manifesto — America's Mein Kampf — was published. I first became aware of the strategy in 2005, working the FOREX trading desk during the Asian and London markets. It was there that I fully understood the extraordinary privilege that a nation has when its currency is the Reserve Currency for world trade. I saw how that privilege could be used and abused to bully the rest of the world both economically and militarily. (Don't even get me started on what the NSA did to the psyche of the world, which thoroughly ended any future the US might have as a global power.)

This morning, while preparing breakfast, I noticed an elderly woman sifting through the trash bin behind my neighbor’s house. She wore a broad rimmed hat; her shoulders were stooped, her back bent, and when she walked it was easy to see she could only move with great difficulty.

I was dressed in P.J.s, and by the time I had finished dressing and made it outside to see if she needed help she had moved on. But I have replayed the scene inside my head all day.

Populism2015 - National People's Action - April 18-20, 2015

I gathered some photos and videos from the populism 2015 conference, which took place over the weekend. This is a for the record diary to gather material for you to do further research on the participants and organizers of that conference. I have my own videos, but can't get them edited and uploaded and til I am ready to do so, the event is news from yesterday. I am also tired of the issue, as I don't see, what it will bring.

The hypocrisy never ends

Fox News host Chris Wallace told Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on Sunday that he wished that he could put him on the “psychiatrist couch” to find out why the 59-year-old bachelor had never been married.

Last week, a Washington Post profile of the South Carolina Republican noted that Graham had helped raise his sister after his parents died while he was in college.

A Word of Caution About the “New” New Populist Movement

Submitted by praenomen on Sun, 04/19/2015 - 9:03am

After reading Meteor Blades diary about the upcoming populist rally, I sifted through information about the stakeholders behind the event, and while I’ve made no definitive decision, yet, there are some red flags that can’t be ignored.

Perhaps the most alarming was an article written by Robert Borosage. Here is a rather large excerpt from the article:

4. Populist movements are an answer, not a threat.
