Posts that I especially recommend today: Tuesday, October 20, 2020

• Walking Into A Nuclear Nightmare by Christopher Black (Canadian human rights lawyer) from New Eastern Outlook.

• US Seeks to Prolong Terrorism in Syria, Not Defeat It by Tony Cartalucci from New Eastern Outlook. (Note: I regard Cartalucci, who is living in Thailand, a very reliable source. I have often posted his articles over the last 10+ years because he always backs up his arguments with documentation. If you liked this article and if your interested in Thailand, you may also be interested in the latest article by this author from his website.)

• Palestine – Anniversary of the Death of a Child by Peter Koenig from New Eastern Outlook. (Note: He summarizes the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire's ("west") responsibility for the establishment of Israel and its crimes against Palestinian people.)

• The MAS Victory: An Initial Assessment by Bolivian Socialists from La Izquierda Diario Bolivia (translated and posted on the website of Left Voice). (Note: This is a much more cautious report on the Bolivian elections. See this short video. Meanwhile media corporations are having a hard time explaining this early election outcome to its readers.)

• Twitter, Biden and the New York Post – Social Media Censorship Kicks up a Gear by Kit Knightly from Off-Guardian. 

• “This is an unbelievable failure of journalism.” by Stefania Maurizi from ExBerliner (a German website). (Note: I thank an activist for alerting me to this post.)
  

• Vanessa Beeley Debunks A BBC Hit Piece from The Corbett Report in which James Corbett, the host, interviews Beeley, an honest British journalist who has reported on the Empire's subversive activities in Syria, activities of the White Helmets, her experience with the BBC, and other subjects related to this topic in a 28:51m video interview.

• The Colour of Disenchantment by John Steppling from his weblog. (Note: This is a lengthy, intellectual essay on how the ruling class controls all indoctrination to prevent any discourse harmful to capitalism (aka "liberalism), an ideology that supports the power and wealth of their class whose members own very substantial economic property.)

• First-of-its-kind examination shows how widely pharma showers campaign cash at the state level by Lev Facher and Kaitlyn Bartley from Stat. (Note: The post illustrates only how Big Pharma influences elections, but this is true about every other major industry, the corporations in each industry (view this as another example), and the capitalist ruling class in general.)
  

• World Doctors Alliance: “We Do Not Have A Medical Pandemic.” Fake News? by Arjun Walia from Collective Evolution. 

Why are tens of thousands of doctors and scientists all over the world being ridiculed and in many cases censored for sharing their research and opinions? (This post is the latest example.)

• How Remote Learning Impacts Children’s Health and Well-Being by Katelyn Esmonde and Keshia Pollack Porter from Children's Health Defense.

• Housing Justice Activists Saving People Every Day! featuring Lee Camp engaging in parody to criticize public policies regarding eviction of people who can no longer afford their rent. 

• Large-Scale Permafrost Thawing by Robert Hunziker from CounterPunch.
  

• 'The Last and Most Important Advice I Will Ever Give' Dr. Meyer Hillman from the Extinction Rebellion channel via YouTube. My reaction: I agree with his statement that climate change is now "exponential and irreversible". And I agree that elected officials are not going to do anything. The latter are nearly always supported by capitalists who are not concerned sufficiently about climate destabilization because it will hurt the latter's immediate profits and eventually their power.
