I just found out that my country’s (Switzerland) National bank hold a whopping 223 billion dollars in US debt, F………….CK!!!!!!!!
Err…, I mean Happy Thanksgiving!
PS: If at least some of that money would help to improve the living conditions of Native Americans in places like the Pine Ridge Sioux reservation in South Dakota, THAT would be something I’d gladly support. Instead my taxes help fund the brutal oppression of NODAPL and similar movements, endless wars and tax breaks for Jeff Bezos & co.
223 billion, that is about three times our annual federal budget!!! And only God knows who has decided to make these insane deals that the average citizen doesn’t even know about! And just to add some proportions, We are a country with 8.4 million people, the Chinese hold 1.15 trillion $ US debt!!! Does this sound like a sound and solid thing to you? And Flint, Michigan still has no clean water!

Happy Thanksgiving indeed, I found consortium news. I am indeed thankful. Others that perceive ‘the BIG LIE’. I will check back to read other pearls of alternative perception. So few places to find that. Scary world we live in.
Nice Work

Maxwell Quest, here. I’m posting this under another pseudonym, as my other comments have not appeared as of late. That said, I want to express my appreciation for all the CN writers, moderators and staff, and especially the amazing commenters from whom I’ve learned so much. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Two Thanksgivings ago, the notorious “PropOrNot” website labelled this and other left and anti-establishment sites as “fake news” by Russia, picked up by the Washington Post. That’s what got the information counter-revolution started. Now they’re openly retweeting anti-popular accounts attacking Berniecrats and Labour. 24 months on, we should finally force the establishment centre to rip off the “Russiagate” mask.
In lieu of CN posts today, Countercurrents, Adbusters the World Socialist Website had some great Thanksgiving/Black Friday takes highlighting consumerism and inequality (“banned” topics)
