Everything Is Not Back To Normal Yet, But If We Pull Together And All Work Hard... Maybe Sometime In 2021
*Death Of A Salesman by Nancy Ohanian* Americans so desperately want everything to go back to pre-pandemic normal that they're going to make the pandemic much worse. It's not a TV show with a happy ending; this reality could get a lot worse. In fact, it already is. There are still around 20,000 new confirmed cases in the U.S. everyday. With early frontline states New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Louisiana, Michigan, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maryland and Delaware starting to get the outbreak under control, focus has moved south and west and the new frontline states are Californ... more »
Five questions for new Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer about his UK and US national security establishment links
The public deserves answers about the UK’s new opposition leader and his relationship with the British national security establishment, including the MI5 and the Times newspaper, his former role in the Julian Assange case and his membership in the intelligence-linked Trilateral Commission.

USA: Returning to normal?
The recent release of the US jobs data for May, which apparently showed a reduction in the unemployment rate from April, sparked a sharp rally in the US stock market. And if you were to follow the stock markets of the major economies, you would think that the world economy was racing back to normal as the lockdowns imposed by most governments to combat the spread of COVID-19 pandemic are relaxed and even ended.

Saturday Snippet: what you believe is what you do, not what you say
I've said for years (to the discomfort of many of my listeners) that I'm not interested in hearing what you believe. Words are cheap. One can profess almost anything, but be lying. No, I want to *see* what you believe: and that means I want to see what you *do*, how you *live*, how you *behave*. The old truism that "actions speak louder than words" remains as valid today as it ever was. Rudyard Kipling wrote a long poem about that sort of thing. It speaks volumes to our society today, where faith is honored far more in the breach than in the observance, but those breaching it... more »

Racism Is the Biggest Reason the U.S. Safety Net Is So Weak
