US Forces Accused Of Firing White Phosphorus Into Mosul And Raqqa
by James Cogan
Videos published by the Amaq news agency show artillery exploding over Mosul in Iraq and Raqqa in Syria that analysts believe could be white phosphorus rounds.

Corbyn Teaches To Embrace Change We Need
by Kevin Zeese
The shocking election result in the United Kingdom – the Conservatives losing their majority and the creation of a hung Parliament; and Jeremy Corbyn being more successful than any recent Labor candidate – cutting a 20 point Theresa May lead down to a near tie – gives hope to many that the global shift to the right, fueled by the failures of governments to meet the basic needs of their population and growing economic insecurity, may be ending.
Falling Interest Rates Have Postponed “Peak Oil”
by Gail Tverberg
Falling interest rates have huge power. My background is as an actuary, so I am very much aware of the great power of interest rates.

With high interest rates, practically nothing that is bought using credit is affordable. This is frightening.

Dubious Results Of The Presidential Elections In Iran
by Akbar E Torbat
Regardless of the highly questionable turnout reported by the Iranian government, it was a surprised election outcome. Despite Rouhani’s disastrous economic policies, his re-election against Khamenei’s favorite candidate Raisi shows how Iranians are frustrated with the theocratic dictatorship of the Supreme Leader.
You Want Change? Then You Must Work For It!
by Sally Dugman
Look: I live in probably the most aggressive nation in the world. Our government on the federal level leaves a lot to be desired, but resistance is not futile!
