IF Julian was able to exercise his right to free speech, I'm sure he would provide ample evidence to support his position. However, that is not the case with Julian today - but he would be the one who actually knew whether Seth Rich le

In a nutshell: Poor people stay poor because they can't save. That is why income tax is repressive - it guarantees economic stagnation, since nobody wants to work for the man. Spending tax means that, no matter who you are, you will p

By the same token, anyone claiming that this must be agitprop designed to promote a political agenda, is promoting their own agenda of nationalism. Vielleicht sind die zweisprachigen Sprecher jedoch besser darauf vorbereitet, die Wahrheit z

All it would take is for Americans to be exposed to the facts of their victims. The magnitude of the crimes against humanity being committed by the US' War Coalition is SO HUGE that its no wonder that American media is falling over it

Exactly. Americans on the other side of the agitprop bubble don't have a clue how many real victims of their wars are out there. The ignorance of the great good that Wikileaks has done for the world is a sham.

The great thing is, a lot of those old computers still work. There is no reason not to boot them up and use them and enjoy the way they work. Disclaimer: 30+ machines in my retro- collection. I will have to dust off the Jupiter Ace and hav

There are far, far worse war crimes on the table for American forces to answer for. Americans need to answer these questions before they consider their nationalist self-righteousness over this issue: a) what was done to Mosul in 2015 by Ame
