  • US Nuclear Modernization Plans to Bury Existing Arms Control Regime

    U.S. nuclear modernization plans to bury existing arms control regime

    Originally published: Strategic Culture Foundation on August 23, 2017 by Peter Korzun (more by Strategic Culture Foundation) (Posted Aug 27, 2017)

    You may like Donald Trump or not but he will go down in history as the President who made decisions of fundamental importance for his country and the world. Nobody else but Donald Trump will determine the configuration of US future nuclear arsenal, which is to go through massive modernization.

  • Charlottesville is America: The Myth of the White Supremacist Tidal Wave

    Charlottesville is America: the myth of the white supremacist tidal wave

    Originally published: Black Agenda Report on August 25, 2017 by Danny Haiphong (more by Black Agenda Report)  | (Posted Aug 26, 2017)

    However, white supremacy is not a tidal wave. And it isn’t a lurking storm that seeks to wreak havoc on the shores of the US either. That happened centuries ago, when English colonizers laid their claim to the North American mainland circa the mid to late 17th Century.

  • Google Web Illustration

    Your up-to-date guide to avoiding internet censorship

    Eds.

    While Google’s Information Age dominance has long been recognized to have some unsavory consequences, the massive technology corporation has, in recent months, taken to directly censoring content and traffic to a variety of independent media outlets across the political spectrum — essentially muting the voices of any site or author who does not toe the establishment line.

  • Kim Jong-un vs. President Donald Trump.

    U.S.-N. Korean conflict: impotent fury?

    Originally published: Daily Times on August 21, 2017 by Lal Khan (more by Daily Times) (Posted Aug 24, 2017)

    The Trump presidency in its first two hundred days has rattled U.S. imperialist strategists, going from one blunder to another. Trump’s bluster of “fire and fury” against North Korea has further complicated this dangerously spiraling conflict.

  • Ukranian Nazis

    Pentagon denounces American nazis while arming Ukrainian nazis

    Originally published: Strategic Culture on August 22, 2017 by Finian Cunningham (more by Strategic Culture)  | (Posted Aug 24, 2017)

    Official U.S. condemnation of Nazis, fascists and extremists is just American public relations rhetoric. Evidently, the condemnation has no credibility in terms of objective reality.

  • Water Boarding

    Why isn’t the mainstream media honest about U.S. torture?

    Originally published: WhoWhatWhy on August 17, 2017 by WhoWhatWhy Staff (more by WhoWhatWhy) (Posted Aug 23, 2017)

    It’s been almost 10 years since US citizens learned that their government was engaging in torture. Why does the media continue to sugarcoat this state-sanctioned crime by calling it “enhanced interrogation?”

  • Ten Revolutionary Quotes by Frantz Fanon

    A revolutionary lifeline: teaching Fanon in a postcolonial world

    Originally published: Historical Materialism by Sara Salem (more by Historical Materialism) (Posted Aug 23, 2017)

    Frantz Fanon remains one of the most important writers on postcolonial issues in the world today. Although he died quite young, his many books and essays are a reminder of his immense intelligence, passion, and foresight.

    The hidden environmental impacts of “platform capitalism”

    Originally published: The Ecologist on August 14, 2017 by Jamie Woodcock (more by The Ecologist) (Posted Aug 21, 2017)

    New technological platforms like Uber are promising to reshape society: but what is the impact for people and the world we live in? What does this mean for our environment?

  • Wall tagged with a swastika

    Eugene, OR: Neo-Nazis launch campaign against local community

    Originally published: Its Going Down (anonymous) on February 5, 2017 (more by Its Going Down (anonymous)) (Posted Aug 21, 2017)

    People in Eugene, Oregon have a history of coming together and fighting as a community: against logging, against the dominant system, and against development. Now we have to do the same against Neo-Nazis, white nationalists, and white supremacists.

    Land (in) justice in Brazil

    Originally published: nacla on August 15, 2017 by Mel Gurr (more by nacla)  | (Posted Aug 20, 2017)

    The implementation of austerity measures in the Brazilian countryside, then, casts a long shadow on the potential of farming and land reform to provide the next generation with a sustainable future. It threatens decades of progress made by land justice warriors.

  • Pitch UNITING THE RIGHT IN THE RIGHT PLACE

    Linguistic data analysis of 3 billion Reddit comments shows the alt-right is getting stronger

    Originally published: Quartz on August 18, 2017 by Tim Squirrell (more by Quartz) (Posted Aug 19, 2017)

    We’re witnessing the radicalization of young white men through the medium of frog memes. In order to see it, all you need to do is look at the words coming out of their mouths. The alt-right isn’t yet united, but it soon will be.

  • Fascist torch march in Charlottesville (8/11/2017)

    Mobilizing against the fascist creep

    Originally published: Toward Freedom on August 17, 2017 by E.Z. Kay (more by Toward Freedom)  | (Posted Aug 18, 2017)

    When economic crisis grips a nation, when contradictions within the ruling class and the state create instability and social upheaval, fascists act as the foot soldiers of capitalism. Their function is to disrupt and destroy efforts on the part of the working-class and oppressed masses to organize against their miserable conditions.

  • Paul M. Sweezy and Harry Magdoff

    New School announces Harry Magdoff and Paul Sweezy fellowships

    Originally published: The New School for Social Research on Aug 15, 2017 (more by The New School for Social Research) (Posted Aug 17, 2017)

    During their storied careers, Magdoff and Sweezy edited the journal Monthly Review, which Sweezy co-founded in 1949, and which still stands as the longest continuously published socialist magazine in the United States.

  • In Charlottesville a "Unite the Right" rally was planned and a march was held ahead of it where alt-righters gathered to march with lit tiki torches.

    Charlottesville: what you wish upon others, you wish upon yourself

    Originally published: Moon of Alabama on August 13, 2017 by "B" (more by Moon of Alabama) (Posted Aug 14, 2017)

    To claim, as “liberals” do now, that such marches as in Charlottesville, “is not what and who we are”, is a lie. Ask people from outside the U.S. how the empire appears and acts towards them.

  • Since the 1998 invasion of the Congo 5.4 million congolese have perished so the west could access their country's mineral wealth.

    Congo Genocide: An interview with Sylvestre Mido

    Originally published: Black Agenda Report on August 12, 2017 by Ann Garrison (more by Black Agenda Report)  | (Posted Aug 14, 2017)

    Genocost asks that nations formally recognize August 2nd as Congo Genocide Commemoration Day.

  • Southern Poverty Law Center monitors hate groups and other extremists throughout the U.S. and exposes their activities to law enforcement agencies, the media and the public.

    Trump again refuses to take resposibility for a resurgence of white nationalism

    Originally published: SPLC Southern Poverty Law Center on August 12, 2017 by Richard Cohen (more by SPLC Southern Poverty Law Center) (Posted Aug 13, 2017)

    After the deadly clash between hundreds of white supremacists and counter-protesters today in Charlottesville, Virginia, President Trump called for Americans to “come together.”

  • Inequality Chuck Collins

    Report: reversing inequality

    Originally published: Institute for Policy Studies on August 7, 2017 by Chuck Collins (more by Institute for Policy Studies) (Posted Aug 12, 2017)

    Understanding there is extreme income and wealth inequality that has been growing and having negative impacts on our society is one thing, but having the majority of the proposed solutions fail to address deeper systemic drivers isn’t going to help get us on a better track.

    Daniel Ellsberg talked to us about leaking in the age of Trump

    Originally published: VICE News Tonight on HBO on August 3, 2017 by David Noriega (more by VICE News Tonight on HBO) (Posted Aug 12, 2017)

    The Trump administration is determined to bust leakers, both in the White House and across U.S. intelligence agencies, who it feels continue to undermine and humiliate the president.

  • Image: A submarine-launched ballistic missile was also on display.

    North Korea’s “not quite” ICBM can’t hit the lower 48 states

    Originally published: Bulletin of the Atomic Scientist on August 11, 2017 by Theodore A. Postol, Markus Schiller, Robert Schmucker (more by Bulletin of the Atomic Scientist) (Posted Aug 12, 2017)

    The flight tests on July 4 and 28 were a carefully choreographed deception by North Korea to create a false impression that the Hwasong-14 is a near-ICBM that poses a nuclear threat to the continental U.S.

    Remembering the Gulf of Tonkin, and the consequences of wanting to believe

    Originally published: FAIR (Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting) on August 5, 2017 by Janine Jackson (more by FAIR (Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting))  | (Posted Aug 08, 2017)

    Americans, Schanberg said, are “the ultimate innocents. We are forever desperate to believe that this time the government is telling us the truth.”

    Sam-Kee Cheng A late 1940s Soviet poster showing a US military service member lounging on top of a German factory, smoking a cigar. The text beneath reads DER DOLLARIMPERIALISMUS [dollar imperialism].

    1. Introduction The predominance of US economic, political and military power in the world was established at the end of the Second World War.1 With just 6.3 percent of global population, the United States held about 50 percent of the world wealth in 1948.
