the war fraud ....
in the business of leaning ....From farm to pharmaceutical, diesel truck to dinner plate, pipeline to plastic product, it is impossible to think of an area of our modern-day lives that is not affected by the oil industry. The story of oil is the story of the modern world. And this is the story of those who helped shape that world, and how the oil-igarchy they created is on the verge of monopolizing life itself.

imaginings...
The most dramatic example of this is recommendation 60 – which singles out the CFMEU for its “culture of disregard for the law” and suggests parliament consider legislation banning individual CFMEU officials.

impressively collecting the majority of conservative voters in need of a voice...Republican frontrunner Donald Trump used a Yiddish vulgarity to refer to Hillary Clinton on Monday, saying she was “schlonged” in her 2008 Democratic primary loss to Barack Obama.
the pentagon goes undercover...
So how will the Pentagon succeed where the State Department has apparently failed? No one really knows. "There's not a lot you can do to message against that kind of enemy," says Will McCants, a fellow at the Brookings Institution who researches Islamic extremist groups.
