The Third Battle of Fort Sumter didn't take place at the fort at all. It took place in Washington D.C. on January 6, 2021, when "America's ruling class" raised a decisive, defiant and derogatory middle finger to everyone in this country who demands participatory democracy; everyone in America who refuses to be ruled by *diktat* or told what to think (despite all evidence that contradicts t...

*Robert Farley* *History, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2016%3Anewsml_D1AESZLILBAA&share=true] Sometimes America got it wrong when it came to inventing new fighter jets. *Key point: *Not all planes are made equal, no matter how much money you throw that them. What happened to these five especially bad models? The air forces of the United States have had pretty good luck with aircraft design.

Why Some Legal Gun Owners Are Trying to Rename a Canadian Killer
R. Blake Brown, The National Interest - 19 hours ago
*R. Blake Brown* *Security, The Americas* Mainstream media frequently avoid naming Marc Lépine, the legal gun owner who used his Ruger Mini-14 semi-automatic rifle to kill 14 women in 1989. In recent years, the media has been reluctant to name mass shooters for fear of granting gunmen notoriety or encouraging copycat crimes. This happened after the mass shooting in Nova Scotia in April 2020 that left 22 people dead. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau asked media organizations not to name the perpetrator, and many publications have used terms like the “gunman” or the “shooter,” or hav...

By TruePublica: Benjamin Ward, the Deputy Director for Europe and Central Asia Division at Human Rights Watch recently and very publicly accused Boris Johnson of systematically dismantling the democratic fabric of Britain.

A decision was made in the spring that the interests of capital should supersede all consideration during the COVID-19 pandemic – that the machine should not be allowed to stop. That the trains were to run, the planes were to fly, the shelves were to be stocked, and the people were to work.

barovsky, The New Dark Age - 20 hours ago
Today, a fascist mob — called to action by Donald Trump and acting in obvious collusion with elements of the Capitol Police, the Department of Defense, and possibly other armed forces — stormed the U.S. Capitol building and dispersed Congress. Trump himself spoke at today’s main protest rally outside the White House as part of his campaign to desperately hang on to power. The extreme right wing that assaulted the Capitol today is united above all by the figure of Trump.
