ROBERT FISK – Trump’s Wicked Precedent

So Donald Trump is going to f**k them all. No excuses for such filthy words today. I’m only quoting the man whose Pentagon offices he just used to disgrace himself – and America. For it was Secretary of Defence James ‘Mad Dog’ Mattis who told Iraqis in 2003 that he came “in peace’ – he even urged his Marines to be compassionate …

But Obama has made a lot of firsts himself … For example, Obama: Has prosecuted more whistleblowers than all other presidents combined Sentenced whistleblowers to 31 times the jail time of all prior u.s. presidents combined Prosecuted fewer financial crimes than President Reagan, Clinton or either of the …

Charles Kennedy – Who Will Be Left Standing At The End Of The Oil War

This is a financial cold war—nothing more, nothing less. While there are billions of reasons to cut output, and every major producing country is reeling from the loss of revenues, some are weathering the current bust better than others, but the devil is in the details, and the details contain tons of variables. Production cost and breakeven figures that analysts …
