The COVID-19 Pandemic Shows That Capitalism Fails Workers

Kevin Zeese at PopularResistance.Org - 11 hours ago
The past month has seen unimaginable suffering among American workers—suffering caused by the enormous callousness of bosses, a tyrannical White House, and a society designed to fail those who need it the most. At the same time, we have seen the scope of the politically possible dramatically change, securing the potential—slim though it may be—that crisis can, like the Great Depression, lead to a fundamental realignment of American society away from robber barons like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos and toward American workers. It is up to labor to fight for that future, and it will not... more »

A Russian Firewall For Venezuela Against US Sanctions

Kevin Zeese at PopularResistance.Org - 11 hours ago
An unnamed company owned entirely by the Kremlin will be buying the Rosneft subsidiary and its oil services and trading operations in Venezuela. The deal between Rosneft (headed by Igor Sechin) and the Kremlin (headed by Vladimir Putin) boils down to the latter now directly taking over. Rosneft is disengaging from its trading arm Rosneft Trading SA, the Geneva-based trading subsidiary, in a deliberate ploy to create a firewall against potential US sanctions in future. The Kremlin is having the last laugh. Venezuela accounts for over 18 percent of proven oil reserves all over the ... more »

World Bank: Iraq’s Economy To Contract 9% in 2020

Joel Wing at MUSINGS ON IRAQ - 11 hours ago
(GH Headline) The World Bank released a report on Iraq’s dire economic future. It was even worse than what the International Monetary Fund (IMF) predicted earlier. Iraq is dealing with the dual crises of the meltdown in the world oil market and the coronavirus outbreak. The Iraqi government’s revenues have collapsed as a result of the former and the later has shut down much of the service sector such as transportation, banking, trade and tourism. The World Bank believes that Iraq’s economy will contract by -9.7% in 2020. That compared to the IMF that predicted a -4.7% growth rate ... more »

*"The Unspooling"* by Jim Kunstler "What “the Resistance” really fears more than anything is General Michael Flynn’s mouth. He’s been under a judicial gag order since his case went before Judge Emmet Sullivan’s federal district court. Understandably, Gen. Flynn wasn’t eager to complicate his unjust plight with a contempt citation. Judge Sullivan’s recent shenanigans have one object: to keep that gag order in force as long as possible.

*PJ Media:* *WATCH: A Social Distancing Burial at Arlington Cemetery* Early this month, I took a stroll with my 11-month-old daughter around the Marine Corps Memorial and by Arlington Cemetery. Inside the cemetery, I saw a group of soldiers carrying the coffin of their comrade as the family followed at a distance. I stood and saluted as I caught a glimpse of a social distancing burial during the coronavirus crisis. The soldiers could not maintain six feet of distance while bearing his coffin, but they did wear masks. You can catch a glimpse of the masks in the video. The men side... more »

Dr. Fauci says we can't stay locked up forever

trinko at Conversations about the obvious - 13 hours ago
The intent of the original lockdown was to keep hospitals from overflowing. That objective has been achieved but Democrats want to keep us locked down because they think a tanked economy will help Joe Biden win the Presidency. That's despite studies that have shown that as many as 150,000 Americans could die deaths of despair-- due to suicide, drug use, etc-- if the lock down isn't lifted quickly. Now Dr. Fauci, whom the left views as infallible, is saying that minimizing the overall death toll means we need to end the lockdown. Here's what he said on Friday: *"We can't stay lock... more »
