Say Racism’s Name, And Fight It With Solidarity
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 6 hours ago
The instability of Trump’s presidency and the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement have upset the U.S. power structure. White supremacist groups such as the Proud Boys and the Boogaloo Movement have increased in number and visibility to protect the right of white America to the historic spoils of stolen land and stolen labor. These groups have found their Great White Hope in Donald Trump and his many appeals to keep them safe from Black Americans, immigrants, and oppressed nations all over the world.

Hopes Rise Of Extension Of New START Arms Control Treaty
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 6 hours ago
The hope for the extension of the New Strategic Arms Control Treaty (START) was revived on Tuesday, October 20, after Russia offered freezing the number of its nuclear warheads in a statement, along with a one-year extension of the deal. The Russian foreign ministry said in a statement that, “Russia offers to extend the New START by one year and is ready to take on a political commitment with the United States to freeze the number of nuclear warheads both sides have for this period.” The US state department immediately welcomed the offer and declared that negotiations to settle...
Colombia: National Strike Joins The Minga As Mobilization Grows
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 6 hours ago
Colombia woke up on Wednesday with a new national strike in the country's main cities, amidst the coronavirus crisis and the increase in the numbers of massacres and murders of social leaders and former members of the then Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia - People's Army (FARC-EP). The president of the Central Workers Union (CUT), Diógenes Orjuela, explained that the strike would clarify the position of absolute rejection of the massacres and murders that have occurred in the country in recent months, as well as the repression exercised by the police.

Bullets Are Not The Seeds Of Life
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 6 hours ago
On 9 October 2020, the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to the United Nations’ World Food Programme. In the citation for the award, the Norwegian Nobel Committee pointed to the ‘link between hunger and armed conflict’, noting that ‘war and conflict can cause food insecurity and hunger, just as hunger and food insecurity can cause latent conflicts to flare up and trigger the use of violence’. The demand for zero hunger requires ‘an end to war and armed conflict’, said the Nobel Committee. During the pandemic, the numbers of those who go to bed hungry at night have dramatically escalat...
Anthony Albanese coy on gas as Scott Morrison locks in Australia’s fossil fuel future
Callum Foote, Michael West - 6 hours ago
[image: Gas, gas fired recovery] Australia's carbon-belching future is surely being sealed by the Coalition with the acquiescence of Labor. As the world turns from coal, gas is almost as toxic for the climate. Callum Foote reports on Labor's capture by the gas lobby capture while Angus Taylor appoints Macquarie's Shemara Wikramanayake and former Origin chief Grant King to advise on his Energy Roadmap even though they are smack-bang in the middle of a billion-dollar gas deal.
Question: You've Never Seen a Tank Before. How Do You Kill It?
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 6 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* [image: Wikimedia Commons] The Germans looked for ways to combat the unnerving new threat. The Somme offensive, which began on July 1, 1916, had by late that month deteriorated into a series of small, costly actions. Hoping to revive the attack, the British Army launched another major offensive on September 15. Spearheading the new effort were tanks, a British secret weapon designed to crush the German barbed-wire and machine gun-laced trench system that had brutally resisted all Allied attempts to end the bloody stalemate on the Weste...
Donald Trump Can Still Turn Tonight's Debate Into A Disaster
Karrin Vasby Anderson, The National Interest - 6 hours ago
*Karrin Vasby Anderson* *Donald Trump, Americas* Muting his mic won’t force Trump to participate in the debate in good faith. New rules will mute the microphones of both Donald Trump and Joe Biden for parts of the next presidential debate, but it may not be enough to solve the problems that arose in the chaotic first presidential debate. The candidates will still be able to hear each other, potentially interrupting their train of thought – and, as The New York Times reported, anything a candidate says while his own microphone is muted may still be picked up by the other candidate...
To Reopen, California Demands Counties Address Coronavirus “Health Equity” Standard
Walter Olson, The National Interest - 6 hours ago
*Walter Olson* *Politics, Americas* Simply achieving a satisfactory overall low rate of transmission will not be enough. This seems as if it ought to be more controversial: yesterday the state of California implemented a COVID-19 “health equity” metric mandating that counties demonstrate that they are investing in “eliminating disparities in levels of transmission” affecting disadvantaged communities, or have already eliminated such disparities, as a condition of being allowed to reopen economic activity any further. Simply achieving a satisfactory overall low rate of transmissi...
How the F-15 and Soon F-35 Can Drop Bombs in Nearly Any Conditions

*Kris Osborn* *Stormbreaker, * [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2012%3Anewsml_GM1E89I02AZ01&share=true] Bad weather and electronic warfare jamming will not stop this weapon. Perhaps enemy ground vehicles moving toward an attack have been engineered with certain kinds of infrared suppressors to lower heat emissions and therefore be less detectable to thermal infrared targeting? Similarly, perhaps an enemy vehicle has turned its engines off while remaining stationary in a forward attack position, for the purpose of lowering heat and noise signature...
Turkey Is Prolonging The Bloodshed In Nagorno-Karabakh
Maya Carlin, The National Interest - 6 hours ago
*Maya Carlin* *Nagorno-Karabakh, Asia* As the civilian death toll continues to rise at the site of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict, Ankara fuels the fire. More than 1,000 people have been killed since a flare-up in violence in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict on September 27. Hopes of ending nearly a month of bloodshed over this disputed territory appear dismal as regional actors continue to insert themselves in the conflict. Nagorno-Karabakh is a breakaway region that belongs to Azerbaijan under international law but is governed and populated by ethnic Armenians. Although skirm...

Top Ten People To Blame If Joe Biden Loses
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 7 hours ago
So, Joseph Biden, AKA “Kid Senile,” leads in the polls against Donald Trump, AKA “Kid Fascist Lunatic,” by such a large margin that it resembles a horse race in which one of the horses is an aged wiener dog with three legs. Right now, even though the polling does not account for the millions of voters who have been unceremoniously booted from the voter rolls, many people believe Biden is going to become the next drunken pilot of the American Empire — a position which has less power than most people imagine as the Military Industrial Complex and Wall Street roll on undeterred due ...
Israeli Weapons Fuel The Violence In Azerbaijan
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 7 hours ago
The latest iteration of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, which has already claimed the lives of dozens of people, had been largely forgotten by the world before hostilities reignited in September. Only the collapse of the Soviet Union was able to bring about the end of the last war between these entrenched enemies in the 1980s and 1990s. Now, almost a quarter of a century later, the still contested region claimed under international law by Azerbaijan and de facto controlled by its ethnic Armenian majority has fallen under a new spell of violence thanks in large part to external acto...

Trump’s Patriot History Lessons Or Critical Thinking: You Can’t Have Both
Peter Greene, CURMUDGUCATION - 7 hours ago
Donald Trump wants to sweep away the “web of lies in our schools and classrooms” and replace them with the “magnificent truth” about the US, “the most exceptional nation in the history of the world.” This country, he asserts, is the “most fair, equal, and prosperous nation in human history.” To further that goal, he signed an executive order to create a “1776 Commission,” to promote “patriotic education” in US schools. “The only path to national unity is through our shared identity as Americans. That is why it is so urgent that we finally restore patriotic education to our schools...

A majority of these parents — “approximately two-thirds,” the filing said — are believed to have been deported to Central America without their children, some of whom were “just babies” at the time of the separation, ACLU attorney Lee Gelernt told CNN this week.

The image represented hope that the Korean Peninsula was entering a new era of peace and prosperity. However, just over two years later, hope has yet to materialize, and peace and prosperity will require more than crisis diplomacy. C...
Kim Jong-un's Wife Has Not Been Seen in Public in Months
Stephen Silver, The National Interest - 8 hours ago
*Stephen Silver* *Ri Sol-ju, Asia* Here is what North Korea thinks about it, at least according to one source. Ri Sol-ju, the wife of North Korean premier Kim Jong-un, has not appeared in public in several months, and some in that country are beginning to ask questions about why that is. Not much is known about Ri, except that she is a former singer who was once part of the “Army of Beauties” cheerleading squad, per a Fox News profile earlier this year. She is thought to be around 30 years old, a native of Chongjin, and a graduate of Kim Il Sung University. It’s also not clear h...
This Is What a B-52 Bomber 'Elephant Walk' Looks Like
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 8 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *B-52, Europe* Imagine all of these going out to war--at once. It surely made for an impressive sight. Eight United States Air Force B-52H Stratofortress bombers could be seen lined up on the runway at Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana in an “elephant walk,” the procession of military aircraft taxiing in close formation prior to takeoff. This most recent show of force of the Cold War-era bombers, which took place last week, was part of a readiness exercise conducted to ensure that the 2nd Bomb Wing remains fully able to provide winning combat power. The Air Forc...

Narrative Hardball
Joseph Fishkin, Balkinization - 9 hours ago
When Dave Pozen and I wrote our article two years ago on asymmetric constitutional hardball (building on the important and ongoing work by Mark Tushnet), our bottom line was that the constitutional hardball we observe is reciprocal but not symmetrical. Both Democrats and Republicans engage in constitutional hardball, and predictably tend to do so in response to one another; but for at least the past 25 years or so, the Republican party has simply played harder hardball. Over and over, Democrats do respond. But they respond with much less aggressive forms of hardball. Our article was ...
OCT 22: VIOLENCE AND IMPUNITY CONTINUE TO REIGN:
DrCintli, Dr Cintli - 9 hours ago
In writing my Yolqui book on law enforcement violence, a couple of things happened along the way. I have met and been in contact with more and more families who have had family members killed or brutalized extrajudicially by law enforcement – that is, without indictments or trials, etc. The trauma is immeasurable, especially sans justice. What I have further learned through my life-long monitoring of such abuse is that violence by law enforcement against Red-Black-Brown peoples is not random, but targeted, especially when considering the complicit role of the judicial system in fa...
If White Supremacists Secede, Will POC sFollow?
DrCintli, Dr Cintli - 9 hours ago
By ROBERTO Dr. CINTLI Cintli Rodriguez PROGRESSIVE POPULIST NOV. 1 ISSUE If the current White House occupant were to lose the presidential election and refuses to step down, would his cult followers respond with a violent uprising? At minimum, we know they are on “standby.” Akin to the breakup of the Soviet Union, could this also spell the “end of America?” Some observers have speculated that his white supremacist followers have, in effect, already seceded from the nation (What could upset this political apple cart even further is if he were to succumb to COVID 19).

It remains clear that the victim of Scott Moe's careless driving isn't about to give up on finding out what happened - even if the local media continues to operate under Moe's orders not to so much as ask questions. But if Moe is avoiding questions about the crash itself, here's a simple one he should have no problem addressing when it comes to Steven Balog's search for answers. The information Moe has requested from the RCMP will almost certainly include what would be considered personal information about Moe. And Moe's consent - or lack thereof - figures to have a substantial ...
