Friends: Consortium News, Robert Parry’s vehicle to get important news out, prints another article dealing with “acts that could escalate into a major nuclear war.” Again, I’m perplexed why there is NO significant response throughout America to this dangerous direction.

The only reason I guess, is this topic is never mentioned in U.S. mainstream media where Parry and other investigative journalists are not permitted to post. Why are they not permitted? Isn’t this situation worthy of print?

Please read …. no, please STUDY and ask yourself “Why has this topic not become #1 in discussions with our friends, colleagues and families? Why is this not discussed everyday by the several men and one woman who have been running for the president of the United States?

Please think this through and let me know your thoughts on this.

Again this is a important but wordy post. I will take this opportunity to “bold” the most important thoughts knowing that your reading time is limited.

All the best, Sharon   [Continue Reading]

Friends, could German people be consolidating behind dropping sanctions? Certainly the sanctions are hurting not only Russia’s economy but all of Europe’s. The French are requesting the same, the Italians the same.

How do we Americans feel about squeezing the economies of other countries and forcing others to “shun” another nation of people, Russia?

Does this reflect how we want our children to act on their playgrounds, our sons and daughters to treat other groups in their universities? Are these the tactics we use in interactions among business competitors? How can we justify nation-to-nation behaviors that we wouldn’t permit among our families, friends, colleagues and business partners?

It’s time for us all to start asking ourselves these tough questions ….

Two related articles translated from a German publication follow.
