Statistics on Violent Crime in USA Show Facts Differ Greatly from “The Narrative”

I collected data at the websites of the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting database, The Brennan Center for Justice at NY University’s Law school, the Statista database, and figures published by Thomas Abt (former Obama Regime DOJ policymaker) in his recent screed “Bleeding Out”. None of these sources can be accused of being biased pro-Trump or pro-police. Abt can accurately... more »

Nineteen Facts About American Policing That Will Blow Your Mind
With all the protests and anger and violence across the country, a justified discussion about policing has begun on our corporate media airwaves.

There’s no greater frustration than working every day to build and inspire others to build a more just, compassionate world, only to be so brutally reminded of how far away that world is, as we are bombarded by videos of an atrocity such as the police killing of Minneapolis resident George Floyd.

It’s A Class War Now Too
The looting of stores is inherently a class issue, whether you look upon it favorably or not (there are always exceptions of course). The act of looting is a long-standing American tradition, dating back to the theft of Native lands and African enslavement. And today, while wealthy people don’t loot strip malls, they are adept at looting natural resources and labor, from the coalfields of West Virginia to Jeff Bezo’s Amazon warehouses. The poor, exerting their nominal power—even in a destructive and violent manner—display an entirely natural reaction to a continually powerless sta... more »
Why The Neoliberal Agenda Is A Failure At Fighting Coronavirus
The utter failure of private capitalism to prepare for the coronavirus should have surprised no one. Private capitalism, as business school graduates repeat, focuses on profit.

That is its “bottom line” and “chief goal.” The problem is that to produce adequate numbers of testing components, masks, gloves, ventilators, hospital beds, etc., and then to store, secure, monitor, maintain and demographically stockpile them were not and are not privately profitable busin... more »

Majority Of Americans Support Uprisings, Disagree With Trump
As President Donald Trump threatens to invoke the Insurrection Act to use aspects of the U.S. military against Americans involved in the demonstrations in response to the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis last week, polling so far shows that most people are not happy with how he has handled the situation.
