The report specifically investigated USAID's attempt to use the US military to force aid through Venezuela's border with Colombia on February 23, 2019. Anya highlights the most interesting findings in the audit, including that USAID failed to put proper fraud controls in place in order to appease US officials seeking to overthrow Venezuela's electe...
Excessive renewable energy subsidies are now a major obstacle to Net Zero

Legendary environmenal activist Diane Wilson has been called “an unreasonable woman.” As a shrimper, Diane learned firsthand about tremendous pollution damaging the waters near her hometown of Port Lavaca and fought to defend the Bay from Formosa and Alcoa, major chemical companies. In 2019, Diane was plaintiff to a court case brought against Formosa on account of the shocking amount of plastic pollution – called nurdles – that Diane found littered around the Bay. That case resulted in a $50 million settlement against the company that is being used for environmental projects. Now...

Gabriel García Márquez And Magical Internationalism
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 14 hours ago
Sometimes what is obvious hides what is important. Gabriel García Márquez is best known as the craftsman par excellence of the genre ‘magical realism’, rather than his profound passion for the profession of journalism that led him to traverse—with the eagerness of a chronicler and a vallenato rhythm in his step—countless cafes, newsrooms, and continents. Gabo, or Gabito, as he was known to his friends in Aracataca, a town camouflaged among the banana plantations of Colombia’s Caribbean coast, produced a journalism that few recognize, journalism militantly committed to a national a...

Report Finds Low Wages Make Food Workers Want To Quit

Following the passage of stimulus packages with aid for workers like expanded unemployment benefits, politicians and business owners have wrung their hands over a supposed worker shortage as people refuse to return to work, as they say. A new report pushes back on that narrative and shows that actually, it’s more likely low wages offered by businesses that are causing workers to want to quit. The report by One Fair Wage finds that 53 percent of restaurant workers have considered leaving their jobs during the pandemic, and 76 percent of restaurant workers cite low wages and tips as...

Financialization Created Chicago Public Schools’ Fiscal Crisis

Chicago Public Schools (CPS) is in a deep and enduring fiscal crisis. After decades of budget cuts, Chicago’s public K–12 schools have been hollowed out, magnifying the hardships of stagnant wages, rising housing prices, and more faced by the city’s working class. Pundits have predictably blamed CPS’s fiscal crisis on either the greedy teachers’ union (Republicans’ and a few austerity-minded Democrats’ scapegoat) or on conservative suburban and rural “downstate” politicians in Illinois hostile to urban children’s plight (most Democrats’ scapegoat).

You Could Get a “Plus-Up” Stimulus Payment if You File Your Taxes This Year
Trevor Filseth, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Trevor Filseth* *Plus-Up Stimulus, * What’s a plus-up payment? The short answer is, it’s a payment to taxpayers who already received their third stimulus checks, but who qualify for additional benefits.

So far, roughly 160 million payments have been made, at a cost of around $380 billion.

$4,600 Tax Refund: Which States Get the Biggest Checks from the IRS?
Ethen Kim Lieser, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Ethen Kim Lieser* *Tax Refund, * [image: Tax Refund] According to LendingTree, taxpayers in Wyoming ($4,602), Connecticut ($4,452), and the District of Columbia ($4,403) received the biggest average tax refunds. In contrast, Maine ($2,743), Vermont ($2,914), and Oregon ($2,970) taxpayers got the smallest. With the extended Tax Day deadline of May 17 only two weeks away, it appears that millions of Americans are in a mad rush to file their taxes so that they can get their hands on their tax refunds—which could essentially amount to another round or two of coronavirus stimulus che...
The Insane Stimulus Check Problem No One Wants to Admit To
Ethen Kim Lieser, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Ethen Kim Lieser* *$1400 Stimulus Check, * The U.S. Treasury will have to beg, borrow, and steal in order to afford the massive stimulus they've promised the American people. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *This amount of borrowing, following similar policy for stimulus during the final year of the Trump Administration, represents a far cry from the Obama years, when the administration and Congress often feuded bitterly over deficits and debts, with the Republican Congress on one occasion using the debt ceiling to extract spending cuts from the Democratic administration.

If It Came Down to America vs. North Korea, These Weapons Would End the War
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *North Korea, East Asia* Air power would be the key to the conflict. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Air dominance, shut down enemy command & control, and close air support. These steps are the way to attain battlefield supremacy in modern warfare. In any conflict in the skies over North Korea, the U.S. Air Force will likely follow a familiar pattern. First, it will need to sweep the skies of enemy fighters—not a difficult prospect considering the decrepit state of the North Korean air force. Concurrent with that will be a campaign to shut down the country’s ...

Calls for a fourth round of direct federal stimulus payments continue. Representative Bonnie Watson Coleman (NJ-D) recently reiterated her support for...

Uranium Fever: Russia's Plot to Arm Its Tanks with Depleted Uranium Shells
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *Tanks, Eurasia* There are several international organizations campaigning to ban these shells. Whether the Russian government will heed them is another matter. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The problem is that older Russian tank ammunition has difficult piercing advanced tank armor such as that found on the U.S. M-1 Abrams or Israeli Merkava. These shells could do the job. Russia is arming its tanks with controversial depleted uranium shells. While depleted uranium, or DU, is extremely dense and can punch through thick tank armor, many believe that these she...
How Did Israel Become So Powerful? These Guns Might Be the Answer

*Kyle Mizokami* *Israel, Middle East* They are all major contributions to twentieth and twenty-first firepower. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *These Israeli guns are so effective that they have become famous in their own right. Much of Israel’s history has, for better or worse, been written with guns. From the 1948 War of Independence to today, Israeli forces have used firearms to defend the state or its interests on almost yearly basis. Images of Israeli forces rushing the West Bank in 1967 or escorting rescued hostages from Entebbe are synonymous with the Jewish State, and...
During World War II, the ‘Wooden Wonder’ Freed Prisoners from the Air
Adam Leong Kok Wey, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Adam Leong Kok Wey* *World War II, Europe* These audacious aerial special operations by RAF Mosquitoes demonstrated that even airpower can rescue prisoners without boots on the ground and exemplified the importance of unconventional thinking in the successful conduct of special operations. Special operations forces are famously known today for a special task—hostage and prisoner rescue. These missions usually entail the usage of special operators or boots on the ground to conduct these high-risk operations. Examples of these special operations include the Son Tay raid (1970), t...
Is North Korea Preparing a Missile or Nuclear Weapons Test?

*Daniel R. DePetris* *North Korea, * To the extent senior Biden administration officials are making trips to Asia, China is at the center of their conversations—not North Korea. But Pyongyang knows how to attract attention. Last month, the Biden administration announced the conclusion of its months-long North Korea policy review. The announcement was about as bland and generic as it could get. The only detail those on the outside received was that the White House was going to take a Goldilocks approach to the North Korean nuclear problem: not too hot and not too cold. There will...
If India Were to Go to War, Which Weapons Would It Use?
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *India, South Asia* Advances in military technology mean India’s large reserves of manpower are no longer as useful as they once were, and India will need to favor the former over the latter. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *What keeps Delhi up at night is the budding relationship between China and Pakistan. India occupies one of the most strategically important locations in the world.

Fourth Stimulus Check Really Needed? This Data Point Might Be a Clue.
Trevor Filseth, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Trevor Filseth* *Stimulus Check, * [image: Fourth Stimulus Check] What did Americans spend on with the last stimulus check? Crucial to the idea of a “stimulus check” is the idea of the “stimulus.” The main purpose in handing out money, as the United States has done three times during the pandemic began in March 2020, is to stimulate a sluggish economy, ensuring that cash continues changing hands. If people simply deposit their stimulus checks in the bank and do not spend them, the purpose of the measure is defeated. Therefore, when the government began to mail stimulus payment...

Biden’s Domestic Policy Is His China Policy
Rupert Schulenburg, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Rupert Schulenburg* *China, United States* Biden made it clear that central to his rationale for making domestic investments is the long-term aim to “outcompete” China. President Joe Biden’s speech before a joint session of Congress last April made it clear that he views competition with China and “rescue and renewal” at home as inextricably interlinked. In other words, Biden’s domestic policy is his China policy. In his speech, Biden focused on his two major proposals for “once-in-a-generation investments in our nation’s future”: the American Jobs Plan and the American Familie...

Window Rock - President Jonathan Nez has sent a letter stating the Nation wants radioactive mine waste disposed off of — and nowhere near — the Navajo Nation. The letter is in response to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s recent proposal to allow United Nuclear Corporation to transfer the waste from the Northeast Church Rock abandoned uranium mine on the Navajo Nation to the neighboring uranium mill tailings impoundment at the UNC Church Rock Mill Site. Comments are being taken until May 27. Nez’s letter to John R. Tappert, director of the ?Division of Rulemaking, Environm...
Progressives Denounce Biden Plan For Taxpayer Bailout Of Nuclear Industry
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 15 hours ago
The Biden administration is being urged Wednesday not to court "disaster" after new reporting revealed the White House is pushing for taxpayer subsidies to keep nuclear power plants afloat in its sweeping infrastructure plan. According to Bloomberg and Reuters, the taxpayer prop-up would come in the form of "production tax credits," which already apply to renewables like wind and solar. The PTC effort "would likely be swept into" Biden's American Jobs Plan, Reuters reported, stating that the White House "has signaled privately to lawmakers and stakeholders in recent weeks" its su...
