On Contact: The Disintegrating Media Landscape
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 14 hours ago
On the show this week, Chris Hedges talks to journalist and author Matt Taibbi about the rapidly disintegrating media landscape and the consequences of that disintegration. Taibbi has been following developments since Twitter and Facebook blocked a New York Post story about a cache of emails reportedly belonging to Democratic nominee Joe Biden's son Hunter, with Twitter blocking the New York Post out of its own account for over a week. The overt censorship is emblematic of the widening and dangerous partisan divide into information that hurts or promotes one political faction over...
No Matter Who Wins, The War Machine Wins
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 14 hours ago
The US government is pushing yet another unproven election meddling narrative about yet another disobedient government, this time targeting Iran and Russia. This is exhausting. Do I really need to type this bullshit out? Fine. Okay. Here we go again: At a press conference with Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe and FBI Director Christopher Wray it was announced that Iran and Russia have separately obtained some voter registration information, and that Iran has been using its information to send bizarre threatening emails to Democratic voters with the goal of swaying...
FBI Raids Neo-Nazi Camp In Michigan
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 14 hours ago
On Thursday, with five days remaining before the US election, the FBI conducted two additional raids in Michigan and arrested Justen Watkins and Alfred Gorman, leaders of a neo-Nazi group called The Base. Watkins was arrested when agents raided a farm in the town of Bad Axe, in the Michigan “thumb,” which members of The Base used as a training grounds and “hate camp.” Gorman was arrested in the Detroit suburb of Taylor. The two neo-Nazis, aged 25 and 35 respectively, are charged with threatening to murder a left-wing blogger in late 2019, though the timing of the raids indicates t...
Teacher’s Viral Arrest Helped Stop Evictions
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 15 hours ago
Sophia Lukatya is a Chicago Public Schools teacher. She organizes with the Chicago Teachers Union and is a member of Democratic Socialists of America. During the Lift The Ban Coalition’s protests in Daley Plaza this August, Lukatya was one of a dozen housing activists who were arrested in the week-long occupation. Positive press from the event—including a viral video of Lukatya and fellow DSA member Shannon Pilz—contributed to Governor Pritzker’s decision to extend the eviction moratorium.

How South Korea’s Intelligence Service Quietly Pushes Peace Talks
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 15 hours ago
Tensions between the two Koreas escalated again last month after a South Korean fisheries official, possibly attempting to defect, was shot dead by North Korean army troops after he swam across their disputed maritime border known as the Northern Limit Line. A shocked President Moon Jae-in, who has made engagement with North Korea the centerpiece of his administration, demanded an explanation. Some US “experts” boldly predicted that North Korea had killed off Moon’s peace initiative. Within days, however, the tables were turned. On September 25th, Kim made an unprecedented public...

California - On a busy corner in Vista Hermosa, a neighborhood just west of downtown Los Angeles, early signs of construction have begun on a 7-story, 64-unit apartment building called Firmin Court. The project’s developer, the Decro Group, has pledged that the new building, which is one of six active multi-family developments under construction in a five-block radius, will provide supportive and affordable housing for “chronically homeless individuals, persons at risk of becoming homeless, and low-income families.” The post Affordable Housing Developers Set their Sights On Former ...
Oct. 31: No. Damn it. No!
Graeme Decarie, The Decarie Report - 8 hours ago
Just minutes ago, I watched CNN on TV. And this is the same garbage I've seen on every channel. Like virtually all commercial news media it ignores the central problem of almost all of our news media. It gets nowhere near the meanings of the issues it discusses.And we lose the real meaning of what is happening. Trump has a long record of erratic behaviour. Biden - do a little research - has built his career on being an errand boy for the very rich. It's no secret. Biden's Democrats are doing well because the super wealthy are pouring money into the Democrat campaign. This campai...

BIDEN APPARENTLY HAS TO WIN TWO ELECTIONS
Steve M., No More Mister Nice Blog - 9 hours ago
Despite the fact that he's trailing by 7 in the highly regarded *Des Moines Register* poll of Iowa, Joe Biden has had a good run of polls in the past 24 hours -- an NBC/*Wall Street Journal* poll has him up by 10 nationwide (Hillary Clinton's best poll in the final week of the 2016 race gave her a 7-point lead, and this isn't Biden's only double-digit poll in recent days), and Biden leads in four swing states in new *New York Times*/Siena polls. So Biden *might* be on his way to a fairly comfortable win. But you'd think that in addition to Pennsylvania, which might be the key to the ...

School Choice Disempowers (Almost) Everybody
Peter Greene, CURMUDGUCATION - 9 hours ago
The standard argument for school choice is that it will empower all sorts of folks, but it's just not so. In fact, modern school choice is designed to deliberately strip power from all sorts of public education stakeholders. *Unions* Let's start with the most obvious--one big dream of choiceniks is to finally break the damned teachers unions. You can see in pieces like the one I discussed yesterday just how badly some conservatives want to make teachers unions go away; for some hard righty folks, the entire public school system is just a scam set up to generate revenue for the union...

What Trump And Biden Get Wrong About North Korea
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 15 hours ago
But this is a false dichotomy. Meeting or not meeting with the North Korean leader hasn’t been the failure of U.S. policy. And more pressure and sanctions will not convince North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons arsenal. To make any substantial progress, the next administration must take a wholly new approach to achieve a nuclear-free Korean Peninsula. Most urgently, the next administration should officially end the Korean War with a peace agreement. Contrary to the belief held by most Americans, the 70-year-old war never officially ended and was only halted by a fragile ceas...
As The Far-Right Escalates Calls For Violence, Police And National Guard Deploy
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 15 hours ago
In the face of massive early voter turnout and a flood of mail-in ballots, Trump, in a last ditch effort, is continuing to signal that he will refuse to accept the outcome of the election; falling back on the combined power of the supreme court, the repressive power of the police and National Guard against protesters, and violent far-Right groups on the streets engaging in voter suppression and intimidation. Trump and his supporters have also once again started to float the idea of invoking the Insurrection Act; which would allow Trump to unleash the military on American civilians ...

How the U.S. Navy Sunk the Worst Aircraft Carrier Ever
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 9 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *History, Asia* Japanese aircraft carriers remained vulnerable to Allied submarines throughout the war. *Here's What You Need To Remember: **Shinano*’s loss to submarine action highlighted another shortcoming in the design and the larger Imperial Japanese Navy: the lack of a strong anti-submarine warfare doctrine and adequate anti-submarine ships and resources. Despite a highly successful undersea warfare campaign waged by the submarines of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, Japan never built up a strong anti-submarine warfare response comparable to that fielded by the Alli...

*François Valentin* *Security, Europe* [image: Reuters] The pundits and politicians who have been calling out an alleged “state-sponsored Islamophobia” should be wary about joining their voices with a chorus of unsavory international actors who have launched brutal attacks against Macron for his alleged Islamophobic policies. Samuel Paty’s horrific death has been a moment of deep reckoning for France. Paty was beheaded by a young Islamist Chechen refugee for having shown Charlie Hebdo cartoons of Mohamed during a class on free speech. These tragic events happened some five years ...
Senkaku Islands: Could the U.S. Military and Japan Really Land Troops?
James Holmes, The National Interest - 10 hours ago
*James Holmes* *Senkaku Islands, Asia* Let’s speculate about what a deployment to the uninhabited islets—which adjoin Japan’s Ryukyu Islands but constitute an archipelago distinct from the Ryukyus—might look like. Start with the extreme case. If troops alighted on the Senkakus, would they build a permanent base? Doubtful—though less doubtful than in the past. U.S. troops landing on the Senkaku Islands? Could be. Last week Lieutenant General Kevin Schneider, the commander of U.S. forces based in Japan, launched the U.S.-Japanese exercise Keen Sword 21 with words to that effect. K...

Countering Rightward Drift In The United States: This Struggle Is Long Term
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 11 hours ago
This week, people are planning protests across the nation beginning the day after the election. Some, like Democratic Party-aligned groups and unions, will only demonstrate if President Trump loses and refuses to leave office. Trump will fail if he tries because the ruling class has clearly shifted its support to Biden. Professor Adrienne Pine explains this in her analysis of the opposition to Trump. Others such as issues-based groups, coalitions and community groups are planning to take the streets no matter what the outcome of the election is. This is good news... The post Coun...

If America is systemically racist why are white people pretending to be Black?

Democrats keep telling us that American is systemically racist and Blacks in America are going through hell. Yet we don't hear about Black people trying to pass for white like they did in the Democrat run South. The Democrats made the South a racist hell hole with the Jim Crow laws and cops being able to brutalize and kill Blacks with impunity and the KKK running roughshod. To avoid that Blacks who weren't very dark skinned tried to pass as whites. Even in the 1970s I had a friend in college who was a Jew but very dark skinned who was concerned people would think he was Black. S...
