Cthulhu Speaks

Not Mincing Words,

If we end up with Killary, neither the US nor the world will survive the mistake. She will be the last American president.

Killary is compromised with secret agendas, and secret agendas lead to conflict and war. With a crazed President Killary who declared Russian Presient Vladimir Putin, the world’s leading peacemaker, to be “the new Hitler,” with crazed American generals who declare Russia to be “an existential threat to the United States,” and with the insane neoconservatives back in the saddle determined to impose American hegemony on the rest of the world, Killary’s election will terminate life on earth.

“America’s urgency to sign TTIP with Europe has solid reason: Megabanks must protect themselves from claims by European investors who allege that they were cheated during the debt crisis. … The U.S. Ambassador to Italy has now let the cat out of the bag on this — probably unintentionally.”

Under TTIP, a megabank fined this way might in turn sue the nation’s taxpayers to restore the megabank’s ensuing loss of profits. If the cheated investors win, taxpayers might thus end up bearing the cheated investors’ losses.

Poland rejects EU refugee quotas and fines. Poland will not accept refugees, nor pay 250,000 Euros per quota-refusal. Poland is a sovereign state, as is Hungary. Eastern European countries are really not welcoming this flashback to their treatment as vassals of the Soviet Union.

Oh No! New study shows that fracking contaminates water wells with carcinogens. Totally unexpected.

''In our most recent study, we found that as more unconventional wells were drilled and stimulated, more drilling-related contaminants were found in the groundwater.'' study author Zacariah L. Hildenbrand
