- COVID HELL: Record Temperatures and Shortages Will Test The Patience Of Americans This Summer by Michael Snyder from FRN (based in Serbia).
- Psychologically Locked Down by Rob Slane from The Blogmire.
- On the Political Implications of the Pandemic-Induced Capitalist Crisis by Danny Haiphong from American Herald Tribune.
And it will take a mass movement of the working class, with Black people and oppressed people in the lead, to chart a new course for the United States that is driven by the ideological and material demand for socialism rather than the reactionary scapegoating and political repression inherent in the capitalist system.
What are the chances of that happening?
- ‘Cancel Culture’ hypocrites cancel open debate and foreign countries by Max Blumenthal from The Grayzone. (My reaction: Academic careerists try to "cancel" real critics of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire.)
- Miserable Bankruptcy of Neoliberal “Takeover” Reports by Shawgi Tell from Dissident Voice.
- Classism by Terry Everton (political cartoonist) from Dissident Voice.
- Protecting the American Opium Trade from Tales of the American Empire, a YouTube channel. (Note: A little history of how early American and British capitalists (including an ancestor of FDR) aggressively gained their wealth from the opium trade with China.)
Official history makes frequent references to the British tea trade as a vital part of the British empire in the 1800s. It’s hard to understand how trading tea could be so profitable, until one learns that opium was a major component of the tea trade. Opium is a powerful and addictive pain killer that is often refined into heroin. It was banned by governments a century ago, but the opium trade continues to this day with secret approval by government officials. The American government has used the US military to protect the opium trade for two centuries and evidence shows this continues. The extent of this protection is open for debate, but if one connects the dots the image is ugly.
- RFK, Jr. talks with Dr. Andy Wakefield about his new movie, 1986: The Act. This post is from Children's Health Defense. (Note: This is about a movie made by Wakefield regarding Big Pharma's control over the government which resulted in the latter protecting the exorbitant profits of pharmaceutical corporations while permitting Big Pharma to severely impact the health of some young people. The film costs $12.99 to view. I have seen it and recommend it to those who have a special interest in this subject.)
