Scheer Intelligence: The Second American Revolution
Revolutions are traditionally marked by the year they began ― 1776, 1789, 1917, 1949 ― which elides the truth that it takes decades, sometimes centuries, for a radical break from the past to complete its tumultuous slow-fast processing through the sociopolitical fabric, with each challenge to the previous status quo just as likely to be rebuked as celebrated, undermined as enacted, co-opted as integrated. In this light, it may be more accurate to describe periodic progessive outbursts since the 1960s, from the Nuclear Freeze movement to Occupy to Black Lives Matter, as well as the... read more

The Imperialists Intensify Colonial Genocide In Reaction To The Rise Of Liberation Movements
Israel’s siege on Gaza, where new airstrikes are being launched following last month’s unprecedentedly destructive bombing campaign and just two days into Israel’s new government, is the latest stage in a global intensification of colonial warfare. As much as CIA propagandists try to deflect from the pro-Washington bloc’s crimes within this war by fabricating accounts of a Chinese “Uyghur genocide,” this war’s perpetrators are to be found within the Anglo-American imperialist sphere, and within the genocidal right-wing regimes that U.S. imperialism props up. read more

4 British Airways Pilots DEAD Following COVID-19 Injections While Spain and Russia Prohibit “Vaccinated” From Air Travel
A man claiming to be a friend with a British Airways pilot has stated that 3 pilots have just died within the past week shortly after receiving COVID-19 injections, and his recording has gone viral on social media. This brought out the usual corporate media "fact-checkers" to try and debunk the man's claims.
