Posts that I especially recommend today: Thursday, Aug. 13, 2020

• After White House, Congress cut aid to unemployed, evictions and food lines spread across the US by Jacob Crosse from World Socialist Web Site. (My reaction: The assault on the "deplorables" and the "dumb-fucks" continues.)

• Biden picks former law-and-order prosecutor Kamala Harris to be his Democratic running mate by Patrick Martin from World Socialist Web Site.
  

• Kamala Is A Cop Except For Billionaire Banksters! featuring Jimmy Dore ranting and Max Blumenthal offering his observations about the Democratic Party candidates, via YouTube. (My reaction: Can you imagine a worse election that are facing the people of the USA in November?! Our masters in the ruling class are both extremely corrupt and extremely cynical about the American people.)
  

• America Desperately Needs a Second Opinion by Jeff Harris from the Ron Paul Institute.

• Consent Rescinded. By Caitlin Johnstone from her weblog. (Note: She rescinds all the themes with which ideological agents of the capitalist ruling class infected her mind much like a virus when she was younger and more naive. Can you join her?)

• A quick update on Belarus by "The Saker" from his weblog A bird's eye view of the Vineyard. (Note: this is an update to yesterday's re-post about the subversive efforts of the US Empire to change the government of Belarus.)

• Dead Zones: Industrial Agriculture versus Ocean Life by Ian Angus from Climate & Capitalism.
