"Montana has lost its water rights"
That's the headline of an article over at The Organic Prepper. I think its overall tone is unnecessarily alarmist, but the meat of the matter is certainly cause for concern. This article covers the appropriation of Montanans’ water rights by the federal government in the name of the CKST (Confederated Kootenai and Salish Tribes). Superficially, the federal government is upholding the rights of the Indian Tribes to claim all surface and subsurface waters of the western one-third of the state of Montana.

Iraq: Political Chaos in Full Swing
For the past month, there have been bitter political disputes in Iraq that have divided and polarized different communities, making it impossible to elect representatives to the country’s highest bodies. These divisions have deeply engrained themselves into the different strata of the society through social media, creating disputes and barriers not only between communities but also between ordinary Iraqis, preventing them from achieving social cohesion, partnership in governance, and socioeconomic integration. As a result, Iraqis experience high levels of hopelessness and frustratio... read more

IN: More Taxpayer-Funded Discrimination
Indiana's private school voucher program is going great guns, last year shoveling $241.4 million to private schools, and nearly all of the 330 schools grabbing those taxpayer dollars are religious schools. In the 21st century conception of religious liberty in the US, we've been learning two things: 1) You can't practice your religion unless you are fully subsidized by tax dollars. 2) You can't practice your religion unless you are able to fully discriminate against the people you want to discriminate against. 3) "Your religion" actually means "your particular brand of christian... read more

Biden’s Student Loan Scam
The Biden administration announcement of so-called student loan debt relief does little to alleviate the problem it claims to solve. Forgiving $20,000 for Pell grant holders and $10,000 for all who earn less than $125,000 is questionable for a variety of reasons. It is a midterm election bait and switch that pleases gullible democrats, helps only a minority of borrowers, and is nothing like what candidate Biden proposed during the 2020 campaign. Americans owe $1.7 trillion in student loan debt. This crisis did not occur by happenstance. Universities did not escape the neoliberal o... read more
