Beijing has issued a scathing rebuke of Mike Pompeo’s claim that China is involved in covert activities as part of its desire to obtain greater power, noting that the allegation might be true – if he were referring to Washington. “All these accusations against China are lies, not based on facts,” Foreign Minister Wang Yi told the Munich Security Conference on Saturday. “But if we replace [...]

Earlier today we highlighted the aggressive censorship that is underway in China to keep “control of the narrative.” Sadly, the citizens that were charged with trying to keep “control of the people” were potentially treated even worse as The Epoch Times reports, thanks to a lack of information (or perhaps withholding) from Beijing, thousands of soldiers and officers of the People’s Liberation Army, as well as [...]
Authored by Edward Curtin via Off-Guardian.org, It never happened. Nothing ever happened. Even while it was happening it wasn’t happening. It didn’t matter. It was of no interest. The crimes of the United States have been systematic, constant, vicious, remorseless, but very few people have actually talked about them. You have to hand it to America. It has exercised a quite clinical manipulation of power worldwide [...]
A major German TV network has aired an interview with the UN rapporteur on torture that reveals the invention of the Swedish “rape” case against Julian Assange. Truth has broken through for those confused about how a publisher ended up in a maximum security prison in London with a one-way extradition ticket to court in the U.S. and the rest of his life behind bars. One [...]
Authored by Ray McGovern via ConsortiumNews.com, Truth has broken through for those confused about how a publisher ended up in a maximum security prison in London with a one-way extradition ticket to court in the U.S. and the rest of his life behind bars. One of the main German TV channels (ZDF) ran two prime-time segments on Wednesday night exposing authorities in Sweden for having “made [...]
As we reported late Thursday evening, the death toll from the viral outbreak on mainland China has surpassed 600. With global markets once again in the red, Bloomberg reports that Beijing has silenced two of the citizen journalists responsible for much of the horrifying footage seeping onto western social media. As BBG’s reporter explains, Chinese citizen journalists Chen Qiushi and Fang Bin have effectively been “the [...]
It’s been nearly five months since news of the Ukraine scandal broke, kicking off a rapidly cascading series of events and dramatic revelations that resulted in Donald Trump’s impeachment in the House and subsequent acquittal in the Senate. Some of his Republican fellow-travelers, including Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), have publicly insisted that President Trump had learned his lesson and there was therefore no cause for his [...]
Authored by Brandon Smith via Alt-Market.com, Lies are a powerful form of magic; they can mislead large groups of people into making terrible errors, as well as cause them to be blind to the obvious. Lies make people hurt themselves while thinking they are helping themselves. It is a truly dark and horrific act of sorcery. As the world stands at the edge of a global [...]
Authored by Eric Zuesse via The Strategic Culture Foundation, Without enforced suppression of truth, there would be no way that the U.S. and its allied regimes could continue hiding the lies that were behind their invasions of Iraq in 2003, and of Syria since 2012, and their coup against Ukraine in 2014, and also of their takeovers and attempted takeovers of other countries that had refused to be bullied [...]
“Pollution and income and wealth inequality remains problems for ‘socialism with Chinese characteristics.’” There is a broad consensus between the American ruling class and the so-called American Left about China. The consensus position is that China is a tyrannical, oppressive, and politically backward dictatorship. Fear of a globalized Yellow Peril often emerges whenever China becomes a topic of political conversation in America. My two weeks spent [...]
A top official overseeing US aid in Afghanistan, the special inspector general for Afghanistan reconstruction John Sopko, testified before the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Wednesday, and gave a blunt insider account of the many damning issues which have perpetuated America’s longest war laid out in the recently declassified Afghanistan Papers. He admitted that top officials had been caught lying about the true state of the war at [...]
Prior to his assassination in a US Drone strike in Baghdad last Friday, Qasem Soleimani would perhaps not have been the most well-known of figures amongst Western onlookers, despite the crucial role he played in Middle Eastern geopolitics. As commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corp’s (IRCG) elite Quds Force branch, General Soleimani was instrumental in destroying the Caliphate that Islamic State (IS) had established in [...]

Former Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley absurdly and falsely claimed that “Democrat leadership” and “Democrat Presidential candidates” are “mourning” the death of Iranian Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani, then tweeted a video of that claim to her half-a-million followers. On Monday night’s edition of Fox News’ Hannity, Haley discussed the killing of Soleimani in a drone strike last week, and cast Democratic dissent over [...]
Have we mentioned lately that Mike Pence is a lying weasel? The vice president tried to plant the bloody glove of 9/11 on Iranian General Qasem Soleimani. Pence claimed in a tweet Friday that Soleimani, who the US killed good and dead, “assisted in the clandestine travel to Afghanistan of 10 of the 12 terrorists who carried out the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in the United States.” These are all lies. But [...]
MSNBC’s Chris Hayes tonight said people should be skeptical of the claims about Iran from the Trump administration, given how they “lie about everything all the time.” Hayes said, “President Trump, who has been stewing and vacationing at his personal club in Florida awaiting an impeachment trial for abusing his office by attempting to extort a foreign country to meddle in our next election, ordered from [...]
