Five Myths About The Venezuelan Opposition

Kevin Zeese, PopularResistance.Org - 12 hours ago

The latest video produced by VA and Tatuy TV explores the "myths" that sustain the mainstream media's favorable coverage of the Venezuelan opposition. The corporate media is almost unanimous in its support for US regime change plans in Venezuela. This support naturally extends to the US-backed Venezuelan anti-Chavista opposition, which in the past 20 years has constantly tried to overthrow the government. In order to maintain uncritical support for the opposition, the mainstream media has created a series of "myths" about it. The post Five Myths About The Venezuelan Opposition app...

Turn Out The Lights, Russiagate Is Over

Kevin Zeese, PopularResistance.Org - 12 hours ago

Seldom mentioned among the motives behind the persistent drumming on alleged Russian interference was an over-arching need to help the Security State hide their tracks. The need for a scapegoat to blame for Hillary Clinton’s snatching defeat out of the jaws victory also played a role; as did the need for the Military-Industrial-Congressional-Intelligence-Media-Academia-Think-Tank complex (MICIMATT) to keep front and center in the minds of Americans the alleged multifaceted threat coming from an “aggressive” Russia. (Recall that John McCain called the, now disproven, “Russian hacki...

Thousands Of Essential Workers Are At Risk of Deportation

Although deemed “essential,” they are not entitled to protective gear, compensation, federal financial aid or safeguards from immigration agents.

Why britain’s covid suffering is a crime against humanity

barovsky, The New Dark Age - 12 hours ago

A rational person would question why Britain has fared so badly in the COVID-19 pandemic. It is a rich country with the sixth largest economy in the world, a proud history of public health and a National Health Service (NHS) arising from the ashes of World War II. This forms the central pillar of the welfare state, providing universal, comprehensive care to all citizens irrespective of ability to pay.

COVID-19 Sparks A Rebirth Of The Local Farm Movement

Kevin Zeese, PopularResistance.Org - 12 hours ago

Family farms in California and across the country have been hit hard by the impact of the coronavirus on their markets. But in the health-conscious Bay Area, where celery was already one of the first groceries to disappear from the produce rack, demand for fresh local produce has shot up. The challenge is in redirecting food from farms to new customers. Food is fundamental. While farmers have yet to face the full economic impact of this pandemic, their collaborative efforts, along with local grassroots networks, could mark the beginning of a new economy laboring to be born.

A federal court on May 24, 2020 ruled that a Florida law that created wealth-based hurdles to voting is unconstitutional. The decision restores voting rights to hundreds of thousands of people with past criminal convictions.

Kevin Zeese, PopularResistance.Org - 12 hours ago

As states across the U.S. took steps to stop the spread of COVID-19 — closing schools and workplaces, canceling events and shifting to supporting children in their homes and communities — one group of young people is being left behind: the nearly 50,000 youth locked up across the country.

*Stanley M. Brand* *Politics, Americas* Trump isn’t the only president to get rid of inspectors general. And it appears Congress can do little about these firings.

US Declares Vaccine War on the World

US President Donald Trump launched a new vaccine war this week, but not against the virus. It was against the world.

The US explicitly disassociated from the patent pool call, talking instead of “the critical role that intellectual property” plays – in other words, patents for vaccines and medicines.

When it comes to our military, the mantra of the public is: thank, don't think. To most of them, war -- the war my friends died for -- is elevator music. Perhaps Americans have generally forgotten that, almost 19 years after the Afghan War began, numbers, names, and percentage...
