Jihad in Minnesota: why the deafening media silence?
Readers may remember the stabbing attack on two shoppers at the Mall of America in Minnesota last November. It was widely reported in the mainstream media to be a robbery attempt.

However, it now looks like our suspicions were justified. At the plea hearing Thursday, Abdiraham's attorney read a statement — which is public record — to the courtroom, which explained why he attacked the two men. In the statement, Abdiraham sa... more »

Tuesday Morning Links
This and that for your Tuesday reading. - Matthew Sears writes that we would be much better off prioritizing more than just cutting short-term costs and prices in making choices: Are we really unwilling to pay more for our coffee as we are on our way to our well-paid and comfortable jobs (as mine certainly is) in order to ensure that workers are paid a liveable wage? Can we really not summon enough social and economic imagination to think that businesses, and the real human beings that are in charge of them, can’t be at least encouraged to, well, behave a little less like businesse... more »
Their Last Refuge
When Donald Trump ran for president, most of the big money donors kept their distance. His own Secretary of State has called him a "moron." And Rupert Murdoch -- if Michael Wolff is to be believed -- has called him an "idiot." But the big money has decided that, idiotic though he may be, he's a useful idiot. They have come to this conclusion for one glaringly simple reason: He is their last refuge. Chris Hedges writes: The problem with Donald Trump is not that he is imbecilic and inept—it is that he has surrendered total power to the oligarchic and military elites. They get what... more »
State Of The Union: More Than 'Bipartisanship,' A New Paradigm Is Needed
President Donald Trump could not really have missed it at the Davos World Economic Forum. While he led cheers for investment in the newly low-tax, cheap-dollar United States, and pleased some multinational CEOs, the conference looked to China and its Belt and Road Initiative for the key to leading the world economy out of its crisis since the 2008 crash. Chinese President Xi Jinping's economic advisor Liu He was the speaker most closely listened to. China's policy of developing high-technology economic infrastructure as the leading edge to the goal of eradicating poverty — now wit... more »
Resisting Tyranny: Struggling for Seed Sovereignty in Latin America
CounterPunch, Countercurrents, RINF, Global Research If you value my work,* please read this* The Latin America Seeds Collective last year released a 40-minute film ('Seeds: Commons or Corporate Property?) which documents the resistance of peasant farmers to the corporate takeover of their agriculture. The film describes how seed has been central to agriculture for 10,000 years. Farmers have been saving, exchanging and developing seeds for millennia. Seeds have been handed down from generation to generation. Peasant farmers have been the custodians of seeds, knowledge and land. Thi... more »

Battleships Once Ruled the Oceans (Here Are the 5 Best That Ever Sailed)
*James Holmes* *Security, * The best of the best. *Topping this list is the only battleship from the age of sail. HMS Victory was a formidable first-rate man-of-war, cannon bristling from its three gun decks. But her fame comes mainly from her association with Lord Horatio Nelson, whom Mahan styles "the embodiment of the sea power of Great Britain." In 1805 Nelson led his outnumbered fleet into combat against a combined Franco-Spanish fleet off Cape Trafalgar, near Gibraltar. Nelson and right-hand man Admiral Cuthbert Collingwood led columns of ships that punctured the enemy li... more »

Can Establishment Dems Lose 2 Senate Seats Not Even Republicans Were Hoping For?
Greg Giroux penned an essay for Bloomberg News, All Signs Point to Big Democratic Wins in 2018, which is a hell of a lot more reality-based than the tepid Beltway prognosticators who "think" the Democrats "may" win the 24 seats they need to take over the House again. That was last year's discussion. 12 months on, it's about how many Republicans will be left after the tsunami washes the party away. And is Beto's O'Rourke's second consecutive quarter of outraising Ted Cruz an indication that the Democrats are going to win the Senate as well? "History, demographics and the national m... more »
