Why The World Fears Refugees
Zygmunt Bauman, one of the most influential thinkers of our time, says many Europeans’ fear of refugees boils down to the idea of the “precariat” – people whose lives are marked by precariousness, anxiety and fear. As more EU countries raise walls and the backlash against foreigners grows, Al Jazeera spoke to the Polish sociologist about why people fear refugees. – Subscribe to our channel: http://aje.io/AJSubscribe – Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AJEnglish – Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aljazeera – Check our website: http://www.aljazeera.com/ Guest AuthorAll Guest Author Posts are submitted or additional content Wave Chronicle has added to the website.

Russian Newspaper Review
Editors Note: This is extremely dry watching and listening. It is fantastic information on Russian Newspapers. It provides another opinion other than the main stream media’s. Most likely, I will make this a regular post on this site. In this first edition of the Russian Newspaper Monitor, a new weekly show produced by Newsbud, Professor Filip Kovacevic gives an overview of the Russian newspaper media scene. He also discusses the front-page news stories from Rossiyskaya Gazeta (RG), Izvestia, Kommersant, Pravda and Komsomolskaya Pravda on a whole variety of topics, including the Russian view of the U.S. policy in Syria, Putin’s visit to Kazakhstan, the new generation of Russian strategic bomber aircraft…

Lessons From The Japanese Economic Meltdown
Editor’s Note: This is not one of the best videos that the Corbett Report has done. Marc Abela also has some issues within the discussion, which looks like he simply lost his train of thought numerous times. Still, it is a great video to watch regarding the economy, with some reality that no one may like. Sometimes the collapse is not now but decades later. Enjoy the video below. SHOW NOTES AND MP3: https://www.corbettreport.com/?p=20018 As the Bank of Japan continues its de facto nationalisation of the Japanese economy, things do not look good for the Land of the Setting Sun. But as Japan-based economic analyst Marc Abela explains, the coming crisis…

Inside Palestine’s Refugee Camps
In her first on-the-ground report from Palestine, Abby Martin gives a first-hand look into two of the most attacked refugee camps in the West Bank: Balata and Aida camps.

Why The Hell Are We Still in Afghanistan?
SHOW NOTES AND MP3: https://www.corbettreport.com/?p=19975 15 years later, the US and its NATO allies still have troops in Afghanistan with no plans on leaving. We were told this was about 9/11 and Osama Bin Laden, but these were lies. So why are the troops still there? What was the war in Afghanistan really about? Michel Chossudovsky of the Centre for Research on Globalization joins us to explain. Guest AuthorAll Guest Author Posts are submitted or additional content Wave Chronicle has added to the website.

The REAL Cost of the War of Terror
FULL TRANSCRIPT AND SOURCES: https://www.corbettreport.com/?p=19925 We all know by now that the real terrorists (the politicians in the suits and ties and the banksters that pull their strings) are waging their war of terror on multiple fronts for multiple reasons. Domestically, it rallies the population around the flag, keeping the flock in check. At the same time it justifies the build up of the police state control grid to catch the thought criminals who resist. It also writes a blank check for the illegal wars of aggression abroad. Simply place your terrorist boogeyman in the square of the chessboard you’re looking to occupy and — hey presto! — you’ve got yourself…
