The Pentagon took the unprecedented step of denouncing neo-Nazi extremists involved in the protests at Charlottesville. But what about Washington's support for neo-Nazis in Ukraine? Or for radical jihadists in Syria? Saudi Arabia? Afghanistan in the 1970s?

Weekly Update --- Attack Venezuela? Trump Can't be Serious! by Ron Paul Liberty Report

Late last week President Trump threatened US military action against Venezuela because "people are dying" there.

Yesterday's nuclear brinkmanship between President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un may have terrified much of the rest of the world, but the military industrial complex rubs its hands with glee. Profits are way up since the first Korean long-range missile test in July.
