"Failing to even mention these slain reporters during his Middle Eastern trip would send exactly the wrong message to both foreign governments and vulnerable journalists around the world." JESSICA CORBETT Ahead of U.S. President Joe Biden's trip to the Middle East this week, advocates pressured him to seize the opportunity to "demand justice" for slain journalists Jamal Khashoggi and Shireen Abu Akleh. "Your administration has thoroughly failed to meet the bare minimum expectation held by a grievi...

OMG, Palestine advocacy is going mainstream – what went wrong?

CONTACT@IFAMERICANSKNEW.ORG American Jews are changing their minds about Israel (pictured: people take part in the 51st annual Israel parade in New York in May, 2015) (EDUARDO MUNOZ / REUTERS) Israel is no longer a favorite in some political circles. Some theories blame American Jews – but they’re wrong. Here’s the real reason. by Kathryn Shihadah, reposted from Palestine Home As Mondoweiss recently reported, Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ-5) is beside himself. Members of his party have started “laying low” when it comes to Israel – because if they speak out, they will “just get the snot beat out of them.” Translated: Congress members who sing Israel’s praises are hearing complaints from their constituents. Subtext: regular Americans – includi...

21st-Century Comstockery: Does History Repeat Itself?

BY DAVID ROSEN Photograph Source: The symbol of Comstock’s New York Society for the Suppression of Vice – Public Domain Marx once observed, “Hegel remarks somewhere that all great, world-historical facts and personages occur, as it were, twice. He has forgotten to add: the first time as tragedy, the second as farce.” One can only wonder if history repeats itself a third time will it be as vengeance? Today, the U.S. is witnessing a third repeat of a long-fought morality war, this one being played out not only at the Supreme Court but in local and state legislations throughout the country. It involves abortion and gun ownership as well as a host of other “culture war” issues, including immigration, racial equality, voting rights, gay/trans rights, “critical race theory” an...

An American’s Visit to Another Planet: Iceland

BY KATHLEEN WALLACE Photograph Source: Josh Reid Well, maybe not another planet–I’m speaking about a trip to a country that is often utilized to portray other planets in film. I’m speaking about Iceland, but what I’m going to discuss has nothing to do with the otherworldly geologic landscape. It has everything to do with the cultural landscape, that for all practical purposes, may as well be another planet when compared to the current United States. Like most Americans, I don’t get out much. Cost, excessive work hours–all the reasons that keep one close to home are part of my world. A plan that started in 2019 allowed us to take a quick trip to Iceland that only materialized this summer. I was prepared for something radically different; I read about other nations (unlike...

“Value-Based Care” is a Pretext for Privatization

BY KAY TILLOW Photograph Source: Molly Adams – CC BY 2.0 Later this month, right before Medicare’s 57th birthday on July 30, corporate health care and the government players who facilitate their lucrative businesses, will gather for a summit on value-based care. They will speak of driving health equity, of reaching underserved communities, of coordination of care, and accountable care. They will insist that physicians share in risk just like insurance companies. They will advocate the transformation of health care to value-based care, supposedly founded on payment for quality rather than quantity, value instead of volume, and outcomes not fee-for-service. They will assert that this transformation brings equity, improves care, and...

Soaring Gas Prices Fuel June Inflation

BY DEAN BAKER Gas prices in north Portland. Photo: Jeffrey St. Clair. It is hard to feel good about this report, but with wage growth slowing sharply in the last six months to around 4.0 percent (compared to 3.4 percent in 2019), it’s hard to see how an inflation rate north of 9.0 percent can be sustained. The overall CPI was up 1.3 percent in June, core rose 0.7 percent; 9.1 percent and 5.9 percent year-over-year, respectively. Even though non-car retail inventories are very high, we are still seeing sharp price increases for items like apparel and household furniture. This is hard to understand. Gas prices rose 11.2 percent in June, 59.9 percent year-over-year, adding 2.1 percent to inflation rate. On the plus side, gas prices have been falling sharply since early June. ...

Ecuador’s Unpopular Neoliberal Government Survives for Now: An Interview with David Villamar

BY JOE EMERSBERGER Photograph Source: Asamblea Nacional del Ecuador – CC BY-SA 2.0 David Villamar is an economist and political analyst based in Quito. The last time we talked was shortly after Ecuador’s April 2021 Presidential election. From 2007-17 Ecuador was governed by the leftist government of Rafael Correa. In 2017 Lenin Moreno won the presidency by campaigning as a Correa loyalist but, once in office, immediately turned into the exact opposite. For the past five years Correaists have been brutally persecuted. Correa himself has been given political asylum in Belgium. Despite repression and dirty tricks by the electoral authorities, Andres Arauz, the Correaiist candidate in 2021, came fairly close to winning the presidency. Correists also ended...

Boris Johnson Spends Last Days in Office Laying Minefield for His Successor

United Kingdom Prime Minister Boris Johnson addresses the nation as he announces his resignation outside 10 Downing Street on July 7, 2022, in London, England. BYSasha Abramsky, Truthout Aday after Boris Johnson resigned as British prime minister but announced that he would remain as “caretaker prime minister” while the Conservative Party chose its new leader, the disgraced leader was hit with another scandal. Several media outlets reported that one of the reasons he wanted to stay in office for a few months was so that he could continue to have access to Chequers, the PM’s country residence, where he and his wife, who had gotten married during the COVID-19 lockdowns, were planning a belated wedding bash. Others gleefully reported that any incoming resident to Number 10 ...
