Trump Fiddles While America Burns
*Nero Lives, Act II by Nancy Ohanian* *-by Brian Baxter* I have not been happy with the performance of our current president since he got elected. In January of 2017, I wrote letters to newspapers, cable news hosts and a variety of senators and congressmen to inform them that Trump was suffering from Narcissistic Personality Disorder along with a quote from the DSM 5. I wasn’t guessing, I have about thirty years of experience in the mental health field. Not only did I not get an answer, it was several years before I even heard anyone in the news apply that label to Trump. I watche... more »

Free Speech For Whom?
Free speech for whom?—Free speech is a value only for those who have the will, passion, and knowledge to speak against the cultural, political, and economic centers of power. The ordinary man is not concerned about freedom of speech; he is focused on things like his source of income, security of his property, the wellbeing of his family, and the welfare of his neighborhood.

Mortal tangents which sap the energy of many divert needed assistance from the Brotherhood
Mortal tangents which sap the energy of many divert needed assistance from the Brotherhood and deprive the sincere of the assistance they seek both for themselves and society. To foster a study of current world unrest is not in vain if it be considered from the attitude of individual contributions toward world net worth or loss. It is not difficult for people to accept that accuracy in keeping of records on Earth is essential to good business practices. The very law of energy conservation demands that accurate markings be made upon the akashic record of all that men do. Now the ... more »

Portland’s Mayor Tear-Gassed By Militarized US Police
The mayor of Portland, Oregon was tear-gassed by U.S. government agents as he stood outside a federal courthouse during another night of protests against the presence of federal police sent by President Donald Trump to quell the city’s ongoing unrest. Mayor Ted Wheeler, a Democrat, appeared slightly dazed and coughed and said Wednesday night it was the first time he’d been tear-gassed. He put on a pair of goggles someone handed him and drank water but did not leave his spot at the front of the protest and continued to take tear gas as the demonstration raged — with protesters ligh... more »
Federal Agents Retreat To Portland Base As Protesters Control Streets
The DHS officers dispatched by the president to put down the demonstrations have instead become prisoners of the building they are ostensibly there to defend. “The feds don’t have control of the streets,” said a woman holding a sign “100% not a terrorist”, who gave her name only as Shannon. “I think they’re more scared than us. They’re hiding in there. They don’t know what they’re doing.” If the intent was to intimidate the protesters into abandoning the few square blocks of downtown Portland under their control, it backfired spectacularly. Residents of a city with a long history... more »
New Tech Labor Movement Unites Office And Gig Workers

What Are Trump And His Goons Up To?
First and foremost, it is a political stunt to capture the law and order crowd and press on divides between the coastal cities and inland voters. But it’s also more sinister than that. The use of federal forces is designed to weaken local accountability by freezing out local government that constituents can reach. Portland's mayor might not even have opposed some "help" from the feds, but he wasn't asked. In other words, this wasn't mutual aid. This was indeed an invasion. An alphabet soup of federal agencies have been employed to crack down on police brutality protests, including... more »
LA County OKs Coronavirus ‘Health Councils’ To Watch Worker Safety

Bolivia, A Devastated Country
Bolivia has surpassed the 61,000 person barrier of Covid-19 with more than 2,200 deaths in four distressing months of the pandemic.

In the midst of this spiral of contagion that attacks the weakest social flanks, there is no national government where irreparable pain strikes.

After Cutting Ties With Police, Minneapolis Schools Quietly Hire Private Police
On Sunday, more than 100 Minneapolis teachers and families rallied in the parking lot outside the Davis Center, the district headquarters, to protest the hiring – without prior warning – of what they suspect will be “rent-a-cops” with even less accountability than licensed police officers. “When we said we didn’t want any more SROs, any more police officers in our buildings, we did not mean, 'hire a bunch of private security officers and put them in our buildings,'” said MFT president Greta Callahan, a teacher at Bethune Community School in Near North. “Let me ask you a question.

Without Immediate Action, Millions Of People Will Be Evicted In The Coming Months
From the beginning, we have seen that if the federal government didn’t intervene in a really significant and sustained way, that we would see a wave of evictions and a spike in homelessness. And so these limited federal eviction moratoriums, and these state and local moratoriums that have been put in place, have provided some protections for low-income renters, and have helped prevent that wave from happening. But those moratoriums are rapidly expiring. As of today, there are 29 governors that have allowed their state eviction moratoriums to expire, and the limited federal evictio... more »

"Anarchy From Above"
*"Anarchy From Above"* by Brian Maher "Chesterton - G.K. Chesterton - once wrote of “anarchy from above.” Anarchy. The word implies a mob amok. Anarchy implies violence. And chaos. Anarchy implies the murder of law, of order… both borne away by the whirlwind. American cities have been scenes of anarchy.

How else would he explain Seattle’s Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (presently defunct)... or “antifa’s” siege of Portland, Oregon (o... more »
