Posts that I especially recommend today: Sunday, Aug. 30, 2020

• U.S. sanctions Russian research institute that developed Covid-19 vaccine by Ben Norton from The Grayzone. 

• Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Holds a Press Conference in Berlin After Launching CHD’s Europe Chapter from Children's Health Defense. (Note: Kennedy expands on previous arguments that Big Pharma has corrupted governments to address concerns about 5G, digital money, and fake news spread by media corporations.)

• Big Pharma’s Covid-19 Profiteers by Matt Taibbi from Rolling Stone.
  

• Trump Isn't the Worst President, But He is the Most American by Nicky Reid from his weblog Exile in Happy Valley. (My reaction: Like Reid, I can't tell which is the worst candidate for president. However, I haven't voted for president and other candidates for federal offices since the late sixties when the Deep State of the ruling class assassinated so many people who opposed the direction the country was going. I think that this practice illustrates that elections don't matter in capitalist nations that pretend to be "democracies".)

• 18 out of 20 Members of Facebook’s Censorship Board Have Some Ties to George Soros by Sharyl Attkisson from Anti-Empire. 

• Who Buys This Phony ‘Anti-Semitism’ Smear Language? by Stuart Littlewood from American Herald Tribune.

• This is powerful by Ursula K. Le Guin (1929 ~ 2018 RIP) from Adbusters (based in Canada).

• Hello, internet user. By Dan Hackett (worldhangover.com) from Adbusters. 

• Liberalism: the two-faced tyranny of wealth from Organic Radicals (based in Seattle, but international). (My reaction: "Liberalism", as used here and by most non-Americans, is used as a synonym for capitalism. Actually it is the ideology which tries to sell the system of capitalism as the best system.)
  

• Record High Greenland Ice Sheet Melt by Paul Beckwith from his weblog. (Note: I've had difficulty accessing his article for the past several weeks. I found that copying the address of his website and pasting it in another tab most helpful.)
  

• Guy McPherson: Climate Change and the Debate on Near Term Extinction of Humans and all Life on Earth posted on Global Research. (After the introduction, this recording features scientist McPherson explains (on Aug. 26) the science that indicate near-term extinction of humans.)
