New Stimulus Check Update: History Shows Why Biden Might Do It
*Stephen Silver* *Biden Stimulys, Americas* The Michigan study concluded that declines in material hardship were greatest among low-income communities. When one asks whether stimulus packages have “worked,” they’re really asking two questions. The first is whether the packages had the economic effect that they were supposed to have, such as reducing unemployment, promoting economic growth, and otherwise leading to positive macroeconomic outcomes. The second question centers around whether it actually helped people, and reduced the difficulties brought about by the pandemic. A n... read more

A Decade On: West's War on Syria Continues
*June 3, 2021* (Brian Berletic - LD) - As Syrian elections approached, the US, France, and Germany worked together to undermine them. This was not because they truly believed the elections weren't “free and fair,” but simply because there is no possibility for their client regime of choice to come to power. This is despite these same Western nations - hand-in-hand - lecturing the world about “democracy,” and using its alleged "lacking" as a pretext to interfere in the affairs of nations worldwide. The true irony is - even as the UN condemns pressure placed on Syrian voters b... read more

Chet Raymo, “The Uses of Enchantment”
*“The Uses of Enchantment”* by Chet Raymo “There was a time when every wood, every tree, was thought to be inhabited by spirits called dryads, every pool and stream by naiads. Even not so long ago, our road here in Ireland was called “the fairies’ road.” The world, we say, was enchanted- every stone and plant infused with an animate spirit. Science put paid to all that, chased the spirits from their woods and pools, drove the fairies from their hills. Disenchanted the landscape. Well, maybe not. It depends on how you define enchantment. Remember those spider webs I wrote about the ... read more
"What Foolish Forgetfulness..."
“You live as if you were destined to live forever, no thought of your frailty ever enters your head, of how much time has already gone by you take no heed. You squander time as if you drew from a full and abundant supply, so all the while that day which you bestow on some person or thing is perhaps your last. You have all the fears of mortals and all the desires of immortals… What foolish forgetfulness of mortality to defer wise resolutions to the fiftieth or sixtieth year, and to intend to begin life at a point to which few have attained.” - Denis Diderot read more

What’s your take on this? Did the US government accomplish anything? *Doug Casey: *The US presence in Afghanistan for 20 years is clinically insane.

"An Insufficiency Of Data...
“Experience is a poor guide to man, and is seldom followed. A man really learns little by it, for it is narrowly limited in range. What does a faithful husband know of women, or a faithful wife of men? The generalizations of such persons are always inaccurate. What really teaches man is not experiences, but observation. It is observation that enables him to make use of the vastly greater experience of other men, of men taken in the mass. He learns by noting what happens to them. Confined to what happens to himself, he labors eternally under an insufficiency of data.” - H.L. Mencken read more

Neil Cantrill's Sentencing
I attended Neil Cantrill's sentencing in New Westminster today and I have a sh*t load to say about it. I didn't realize it was today. I had the dates mixed up. I come in late for the afternoon session look around and I see a big guy with a Nomads T-shirt sitting in the front row and Dr Spin sitting in the back. I think OK this must be the place. Most of the seats are taped off so I take the big red chair the sheriff normally sits in just down from Dr Spin. The sheriff behind the glass gives me a dirty look and I just give him the look that says what, you want me to sit beside Kim ... read more
Biden Is Mad: The IRS Sent $5 Billion in Stimulus Checks to the Wrong People
*Stephen Silver* *Stimulus Payment, * That represented a relatively small percentage of the total payments that went out. *Here's What You Need to Remember: * “In response, the IRS developed specific filters to identify potentially fraudulent filings,” the Treasury report said. “Once a return was identified as potentially fraudulent, it was sent to an IRS team for review. As of Nov. 11, 2020, the IRS has identified 457,325 questionable tax returns associated with the EIP for review and determined that 38,273 returns were a fraudulent EIP claim.” The IRS released a report this we... read more
The Battle Over a Fourth Stimulus Check Has Begun
*Trevor Filseth* *New Stimulus, * Fiscal conservatives and deficit hawks have derided these payments as inefficient and expensive. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Despite grassroots support and advocacy from progressive Democrats, a fourth stimulus check seems unlikely. Biden has not publicly addressed the issue, and neither has Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi; observers have suggested that her concentration is on implementing Biden’s infrastructure plans over further stimulus measures.

TRUMP IS BACK ON FACEBOOK, APPARENTLY
I'm seeing a lot of schadenfreude in response to this: Former President Donald Trump’s blog — a webpage where he shared statements after larger social media companies banned him from their platforms — has been permanently shut down, his spokesman said Wednesday. The page “From the Desk of Donald J. Trump” has been scrubbed from Trump’s website after going live less than a month earlier. It “will not be returning,” his senior aide Jason Miller told CNBC. “It was just auxiliary to the broader efforts we have and are working on,” Miller said via email.
