Bernie Sanders We cannot defeat the Republican Party with the same establishment candidates
By Bernie Sanders
The 2018 midterm elections will be long remembered as a pivotal moment in American history because, if we are successful, we can put an end to the disastrous Trump agenda.

Trump needs to take a 'hands off' approach when it comes to Robert Mueller
By Samuel Vargo
Donald Trump had better leave Robert Mueller alone if he plans to continue on his rocky and calamitous Presidency.

Image created from image crediting Caitlin Johnson: How to Silence RT Forever
Allow leftist and antiwar perspectives to be voiced on western mainstream media.It will never happen because RT is not the real enemy. Leftists and antiwar activists are the real enemy....they have no real problem with RT. The only people the plutocrat-owned media corporations have ever had a problem with are those who oppose plutocratic interests, be they oligarchy or war profiteering or ecocidal fossil fuel agendas.

Israeli PM Netanyahu encouraged Trump to pull out of Iran nuclear deal Who is the vassal?
By Uri Avnery
If you are very cynical, you might well say that both Trump and Bibi are up to their respective necks in criminal investigations. With a bit of luck, both might end up in prison. What better way to divert the attention of their subjects than a little war? It is a precept that has been tried out since the beginning of the world, and it almost never fails.

Atheists, Christians, Jews, and Muslims on Israel & Palestine It Is Time For A Palestinian-Jewish Alliance
By Lawrence Davidson
The Palestinians in Israel and the Occupied Territories cannot win this war on their own. Worldwide civil society has become engaged in promoting the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement. Christians of conscience also do vital work. Yet, it is the Jews who, most importantly, must be seen to offer a democratic alternative to Zionist racism. And, they must do this publicly, shoulder to shoulder, with the Palestinians.

There has been a statistical rise in the global incidence of earthquakes in the last 15 years, compared to the historic average rate. Earthquakes have occurred in places where there is no underground faults or other reason to expect a high seismic risk. This has been the era of fracking in the US.

Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump Donald Trump gave a huge gift to Vladimir Putin, and may have saved the Russian government
Everything else that Trump has or hasn't done about Russia, any sanctions, any tariffs, any expelled diplomats, absolutely pales in comparison to the huge boost he provided to the Russian economy by backing away from the Iran nuclear deal. In fact, short of actually starting a shooting war in the region, it's difficult to find anything else that Trump might have done of more benefit to Putin.
