Suing the President for Libel
In 1939, President Franklin D. Roosevelt addressed a Joint Session of Congress to marks the 150th anniversary of the First Congress. He talked about the Bill of Rights in that speech, as the first set of amendments was proposed by the First Congress. In describing the freedom of speech, FDR said this: It is indeed a freedom which, because of the mildness of our laws of libel and slander, goes unchecked except by the good sense of the American people. Any person is constitutionally entitled to criticize and call to account the highest and the lowest in the land-save only in one excep... more »

Our interview is with Mara Hvistendahl, investigative journalist at The Intercept and author of a new book, The Scientist and the Spy: A True Story of China, the FBI, and Industrial Espionage, as well as a deep WIRED article on the least known Chinese AI champion, iFlytek. Mara’s book raises questions about the expense and motivations of the FBI’s pursuit of commercial spying from China.

Trump Has Misled The Americans Who Take What He Says Seriously-- A Disaster In The Making For Missouri
*Re-Opening by Nancy Ohanian* Missouri is no longer a swing state; it's an ugly, garden variety Republican Trump state. The governor and both senators are right-wing Republicans. The state's congressional delegation consists of two establishment Democrats-- one in St. Louis and one in Kansas City-- and 6 entrenched right-wing Republicans. The state Senate has 24 Republicans and 10 Democrats and the state House has 114 Republicans and 46 Democrats (+3 vacant seats). In 2016, Trump won 111 of Missouri's 114 counties and the final vote was 1,585,753 (57.1%) to 1,054,889 (38.0%). Two ye... more »

The BBC rules that Emily Maitlis and Newsnight did not meet their standards of due impartiality

Democrats want you to suffer: A quick recovery is bad news edition
Jason Furman, a top economist in the Obama regime, said: *“We are about to see the best economic data we’ve seen in the history of this country.”* The reality is that only a tiny fraction of Americans have died--100,000/330,000,000 = 0.03%-- so that once the home imprisonment is ended there's going to be an explosion of economic activity. I'm not saying that those deaths aren't tragic only that not enough people died to significantly distort the economy. Keep in mind that 93% of those who have died are 55 years or older. The vast majority of the work force, and the people that ad... more »

American Exceptionalism And The Left’s China Double Standard
The COVID-19 pandemic has laid bare the contradictions of U.S. imperialism, including those that continue to render the American left politically isolated and ineffectual. China has found itself at the center of this process. U.S. imperialism has successfully convinced many of its so-called “citizens” to believe that the U.S. government is the principle arbiter of bourgeois freedoms such as the right to individual liberty and free speech.

Minneapolis Explodes Against The Police
The Minneapolis Uprising will surely be seen as a turning point in 2020, not only in terms of marking the first large scale grassroots rebellion against the State in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic in the US, but also because it showed the drive of the people to take action in the face of various forces attempting to push them off the streets.

The End Of War As We Know It?
Covid-19, an ongoing global human tragedy, may have at least one silver lining. It has led millions of people to question America’s most malignant policies at home and abroad. Regarding Washington’s war policies abroad, there’s been speculation that the coronavirus might, in the end, put a dent in such conflicts, if not prove an unintended peacemaker -- and with good reason, since a cash-flush Pentagon has proven impotent as a virus challenger. Meanwhile, it’s become ever more obvious that, had a fraction of “defense” spending been invested in chronically underfunded disease contr... more »

Disobedient Peace As A Form Of Non-Cooperation With Inhumanity
Peace is often viewed as the absence of violence, individuals and groups getting along, and, simply, an orderly life within and between societies. In this view, peace is often thought to be achieved through (military) strength. Those who are part of dominant groups benefit from such understandings of peace. The author of this article suggests that the concept of peace has been abused and manipulated—emptied of content or associated with militarization and repression instead of with justice.

Breaking U.S. sanctions
The US sanctions against Venezuela and Iran (as well as many other nations that Washington wants to topple) have thrown them together. Tehran and Caracas are working in solidarity in defiance of threats from the US. China, Cuba and Russia have also been assisting Venezuela in many ways since Washington's attempted series of coup measures have been taking place in the last few years. There is growing evidence that all the recipients of aggressive US policies around the globe are teaming up as they understand that if one nation falls to the imperial antics of Washington, then they... more »
The ‘Big Lie’ Can Cause a Nuclear War
[image: President Bush and Prime Blair of Great Britain, May 25, 2006, for a press availability during which the President said of Iraq's new government, "The United States and Great Britain will work together to help this new democracy succeed."] Americans (and the world) well remember the “Big Lie” of the G.W. Bush Administration, when Bush and his controller Tony Blair concocted the big one about WMD in Iraq, unleashing a series of genocidal regime change wars laying waste to the Middle East, and driving millions of refugees into Europe and elsewhere.

"Re-Opening the Economy Won't Fix What's Broken"
*"Re-Opening the Economy Won't Fix What's Broken"* by Charles Hugh Smith "The stock market is in a frenzy of euphoria at the re-opening of the economy. Too bad the re-opening won't fix what's broken. As I've been noting recently, the real problem is the systemic fragility of the U.S. economy, which has lurched from one new extreme to the next to maintain a thin, brittle veneer of normalcy. Fragile economies cannot survive any impact with reality that disrupts the distortions that are keeping the illusion of "growth" from shattering. For the past two decades, every collision with re... more »

At age 77, in his twilight years, the third time was the charm for Joe Biden. He prevailed over a field of 24 Democrats from across the political spectrum and has emerged as his party’s nominee for president in a manner unthinkable in January: a united party, from left to right, across race and creed, age and ideology.

Why America's Whig Party Was So Good At Winning (And Losing) The White House
*Warfare History Network* *History, Americas* The Whig Party had better luck electing presidents than keeping them in office once they were elected. The short-lived Whig Party had a fair degree of success electing candidates for president, winning two of the five presidential elections in which it fielded a candidate. It was no accident that both winners were former generals—William Henry Harrison in 1840 and Zachary Taylor in 1848. The Whigs had come about in the first place as a reaction to Democratic President Andrew Jackson, himself a famous general and war hero. Indeed, the... more »

*WEDNESDAY, MAY 27, 2020A statement of opinion:* Just for starters, let it be said: Paul Krugman's assessment of Biden's remark is a matter of judgment—a matter of opinion. Last week, Biden was speaking with a radio host who calls himself Charlamagne Tha God. According to the New York Times, the radio host "has been called out for his own gaffes and homophobic, transphobic and sexist comments." Not that there's anything wrong with it!

Steaming Piles
From the very beginning -- starting with Barack Obama's "phony" birth certificate -- Donald Trump has peddled conspiracy theories. His latest is particularly vile. Peter Wehner writes: When Lori Klausutis died, she worked for then–Republican Representative Joe Scarborough. Today, Scarborough is a fierce critic of the president from his perch at MSNBC, where he co-hosts Morning Joe. That is why the president has been peddling a cruel and baseless conspiracy theory that Scarborough had Klausutis murdered. This is a topic most journalists are inherently reluctant to cover, given the... more »

On Stoicism and Conservatism
The stoic philosophers in the Roman Empire used to preach that a successful war is one in which you defeat your nation’s enemy without becoming like the enemy. Conservatism is founded on stoic principles, but the conservatives, in the last hundred years, have failed to save themselves from becoming like their enemy, and today’s conservatism carries the influence of several enemies that the conservatives have fought: communism, nazism, fascism, and religious fundamentalism. The corruption in liberalism, however, is much greater than that in conservatism—the case can be made that the ... more »
