Today's posts (Monday, November 4, 2019) I think are especially important for activists

• CrossTalk on Max Blumenthal: Arresting speech from RT. (Notes: it is clear that our ruling class is going after journalists who are not approved by them, and few people know about it--truth is dangerous! I thank an activist for alerting me to this post.)

• New land height metric raises sea level rise risk by Tim Radford from Climate News Network.

• The United States has produced very few anti-imperialists. Noam Chomsky is not among them. By Stephen Gowans from his weblog.

• US Embassy Pressures Thailand Over Monsanto Poison Ban by Joseph Thomas from New Eastern Outlook. (An illustration of "our" government promoting corporate profits onto other countries regardless of environmental consequences.)

• “Robbing” Syria’s Oil to Thwart Syria’s Recovery by Salman Rafi Sheikh from New Eastern Outlook. (Note: Analysis of the Empire's latest move in Syria. Esper is the current Secretary of Defense. The sentence beginning with "It is obvious that the bid to control Syria’s oil has nothing with the fight against terrorism;" should read as "It is obvious that the bid to control Syria’s oil has nothing [to do] with the fight against terrorism;")

• The Truth About The Syrian Arab Army by Vanessa Beeley, the extraordinary independent British journalist, from BSNews.

• The Incredible Shrinking Overton Window by Caitlin Johnstone from her weblog. (Note: the "Overton Window" is essentially what is regarded by our ruling class as acceptable or legitimate for discussion and debate.)
