Narcissists tend to be incapable of something called “object constancy.” This means they struggle to have positive feelings at the same time as negative ones. For example, once they are fired up for a fight, they can be incredibly cruel, because all they can comprehend in the moment are feelings of resentment and anger. As a result, an argument about the smallest of issues can escalate quickly and fiercely. Something you may have thought of...

Newly leaked information reveals that representatives from the top alcohol companies in the USA spent money on bribing members of Congress to derail the legalization of Cannabis. When one compares the effects of marihuana to alcohol, there really is no competition. To begin with, alcohol is responsible for approximately 88,000 deaths in the United States each year and marijuana 0. In addition, people can die from overdosing on alcohol but that is nearly impossible with the use of marijuana, while alcohol use damages...

According to multiple sources in the area the Israeli Military is expanding its invasive Influence and Control deeper into terrorist-supported southern Syria.

The objectivity of the Dutch conclusions might be doubtful as evidence of the MH-17 crash remains inconclusive. The Dutch investigators presented a specific model to confirm a supposed simulation of a Buk missile attack and ignored all the other evidence. Three elements of fuselage fragments were not considered as evidence, because the damage to these fell outside the cooked-up theory. The roof of the pilots cabin, the left board with marking only, and the...

According to Peace Now, Israel approved some 6,742 settlement units for construction...

Russian engineers have developed a system which ensures 100% protection against the heat-seeking warheads of Stinger and Igla MANPADS. On February 3, a Russian Su-25 was shot down by a handheld anti-aircraft missile while on an observation mission over the Idlib de-escalation zone in Syria. The pilot managed to eject, but surrounded by militants on the ground, blew himself up to evade capture. The new defense-system will be installed on the Su-25SM3 ground attack planes, whose combat efficiency will be three times better than what the previous workhorse Su-25s had to offer. The system is currently available on all Russian Ka-52 helicopter gunships and Mil-8 rotorcraft currently...

Every institution in America is sold out, corrupted and politically rigged to favor Big Government and Big Business. “America is a lost country,” explains Paul Craig Roberts. “The total corruption of every public and the private institution is complete. Nothing remains but tyranny. And lies. Endless lies.” CNN, Reuters and the Associated Press are all now shameless promoters of every big lie across every sector of society, from vaccines and GMO's to elections and politics. The US Federal Government itself is incapable of doing...
