POLITICS in AMERICA: HERE LAST TITLES from FOREIGN POLICY IN Focus = FPIF
- Trump Takes on the World
- What if, Faced
With Nuclear War, We Surrendered?
- Bush-Era
Torture Apologists Are Releasing a Book to Whitewash Their Crimes
- Finally,
Science Beginning to Prove Torture Doesn’t Work
- How
to Confront ISIS
- Even
After the Cuba Deal, Latin America Is Still Leery of Obama. Here’s Why.
[ Take a look of the first two Arts to
get a sense on the theoretical coherence in FPIF approach:
Trump Takes on the World : Donald Trump's not-so-veiled racism, crude
economic populism, and male bravado make him the closest thing the U.S. has to
an authentic European-style fascist. [RIGHT!! ]
Now the 2nd title:
What if, Faced With
Nuclear War, We Surrendered? . Most
people are aware that, in the event nuclear deterrence fails, the ensuing
nuclear war, whether controlled or all-out, will result in a level of death and
devastation to both sides that lends new meaning to the term Pyrrhic victory.
But, what if, threatened by an imminent nuclear attack, a nation such as the
United States, surrenders instead? .. Thus,
“the only true way to win a nuclear war is not to fight it.” .. surrendering on the cusp of nuclear attack
not only keeps the United States safe from a nuclear attack in the present as
well as in the future.
[This is another type of false dilemma: A real anti-fascist journal
does not make such “fascistic” question. In war-time you either fight or
surrender. THE REAL ANTI-FASCIST QUESTION SHOULD BE how to stop the nuke
war in process... In more precise terms: HOW TO DISMANTLE THE NUKES
IN BOTH SIDES NOW?. .. It happened one time in history and it should happen
again. If we got this aim, not need to talk on fighting a nuclear war, and not need to talk on winners or losers.

Looking
Back On The Presidency Of Donald Trump - A Dispatch From The Future, Submitted
by Tyler Durden on 08/20/2015
In the end, Trump is what America had earned. Trump
is what America deserved. Trump was our reckoning. And while his rise to power was born of
our failings, it also forced us to find our strength. It’s amazing how
adaptable we are as human beings, isn’t it? Trump saved us. [ NICE SATIRE .. but….]
[ A better title would be: Looking Back On The Presidency of either Donald
Trump or Hillary Clinton. In the end, Trump or Hillary is what
America had earned. Trump or Hillary is what America deserved. Trump or Hillary
are our reckoning. And while h/is rise to power was born of
our failings, it also forced us to find our strength. It’s amazing how
adaptable we are as human beings, isn’t it? Trump & Hillary saved us.

Hillary
Clinton Admits Classified Information Was Stored On Home Server. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 08/20/2015
"What, with a
cloth or something?," Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton said earlier
this week, in a sarcastic and fairly condescending reply to a reporter who
pressed her on whether she had attempted to wipe her private e-mail server
clean before turning it over to the FBI. That was the second time in a week
that Clinton has attempted to deflect questions about the server with a dark
mix of humor and disdain, and it’s backfired both times. Now, the
Clinton campaign has admitted that in fact, classified information was stored
on the Democratic frontrunner's home e-mail server.
[ She lied again & again & that is not mere dark humor
& disdain .. that is a mockery on justice ]

Comedian George Carlin is known as one of the most

government is concerned, he could have possibly been a terrorist.

nihilist that America deserved ]

Depression
Tracker: Unemployment Soars In Latin America's Most Important Economy. Submitted
by Tyler Durden on 08/20/2015
If there’s anything Brazil certainly does not need, it’s
more bad news. The country is, in many ways, a symbol of the great EM unwind
and the situation is made immeasurably worse by political instability. The
economic outlook - which was already bad enough between a harrowing bout of
staglflaton and dual deficits on the fiscal and current accounts - just got a
lot worse as unemployment spiked to 7.5%, well ahead of consensus and the worst
in five years. How bad is it you ask? Bad enough that BofAML now says
the "key" stat to focus on is the number of participants in recurring
street protests.

Welcome
To The Fed's Theater Of The Absurd. by
Charles Hugh-Smith of OfTwoMinds blog,
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 08/20/2015
In the current Theater of the Absurd, the world's most
powerful central bank is relying on a novelty tune to maintain the
hyper-speculative status quo. It would be humorous if it wasn't so
tragic.

Persistently low oil prices have already inflicted economic
pain on oil-producing countries. But with crude sticking near six-year
lows, the risk of political turmoil is starting to rise. There are
several countries in which the risks are the greatest – Algeria,
Iraq, Libya, Nigeria, and Venezuela – and, as
we noted previously, RBC Capital Markets has labeled
them the “Fragile Five.”

The
Baby Boom Will Never Retire - Half Have No Retirement Savings At All. Submitted
by Tyler Durden on 08/20/2015
If it were not for Social Security, half of retirees
would be out in the street bringing back another Great Depression like
atmosphere. This is in stark contrast to that 401(k) dreams pushed by
Wall Street investment banks of endless Margaritas and walks on nameless sunny
beaches. The sad reality is that retirement is no longer what people
think.

Iran
Allowed To "Self-Inspect" Its Nuclear Sites By "Remarkably Naive
And Reckless" UN. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 08/20/2015
Given that self-regulation worked so well in the financial
services industry, The United Nations, according
to AP,has decided to allow Iran to use its own inspectors to investigate a
site accused of being used to develop nuclear bombs. While the Obama
administration was"confident in the agency's technical plans for
investigating the possible military dimensions of Iran's former program," John
Cornyn of Texas, the second-ranking Republican senator, said of the 'secret
agreement' - since The UN normally does this work itself - "trusting
Iran to inspect its own nuclear site and report to the U.N. in an open and
transparent way is remarkably naive and incredibly reckless."
