Why Did Trump Install His Loyalists at the Pentagon Before the Capitol Attack?

Recent revelations and news begin to paint a disturbing picture Lawson Miller Photo by Ryan Kosmides on Unsplash Disturbing reports are beginning to come out regarding the lead up to the attack at the Capitol. Governor Larry Hogan (R-MD), held a press conference and revealed some disconcerting information: the Department of Defense “repeatedly denied” his requests to send the National Guard to the U.S. Capitol under siege by an armed mob of Trump supporters. Only after pleading with them for over an hour, was the request finally approved. Why was there a delay? That’s the burning question, one we will likely get more answers to in the coming days and weeks. Two days after losing the presidential election, Donald Trump fired Secretary of Defense Mark E...

The Nation’s New Crime Boss

BY JOHN DAVIS Photograph Source: Dale Cruse – CC BY 2.0 A great deal of energy was expended recently to influence who would be the next president of the criminal enterprise that is the United States of America. The nation’s criminality was established historically by its extermination of indigenous populations inconvenient to its imperial goals and its enslavement of Africans expressly imported into the country under hideous conditions for the further ease and enrichment of the already wealthy. Although these were crimes initiated long before the formal constitution of the U.S., when the slave trade was belatedly outlawed in 1808, slaves were bred in the Upper South and driven in chains across the country or shipped down the Mississippi to be sold in the Deep South. There, ...

Trump’s election defeat: A near miss with despotic selfishness

By Lawrence Davidson Trump vs Biden Donald Trump’s presidential days are numbered and the latest campaign in the culture war for control of the American lifestyle is drawing down to a shaky truce. The campaign waged by the Trump forces was particularly ugly. For the sake of ideologically shaped prejudices, which cut the believer loose from social responsibility, we got the following outcries: (1) “I don’t care if it sickens the community, I ain’t wearing that mask!” (2) “I don’t care if it takes away a woman’s control over her body, abortion has to be outlawed!” (3) “I don’t care if the environment goes to hell in a hand basket, entrepreneurial rights have priority.” And there are a lot more examples of the fractured “ethics” that characterised America’s “exceptional” democrac...

Will America still be Israel’s bitch? Or will Biden-Harris resist shaming the West?

By Stuart Littlewood Keen as I am to see justice done for the Palestinians, I’ve lately become less interested. This is because, for decades, they’ve allowed their rulers to make fools of them. The endless Fatah-Hamas rivalry is eagerly exploited by their enemies Israel, the US and the UK – the “axis of evil” – and provides them a convenient reason for blocking independence. It’s a sad thing when people who have been savagely oppressed and illegally occupied for 70-plus years, and who have all legal and moral rights on their side, cannot unite and speak with a single authoritative voice. What is even more depressing is the way a criminal pursuit, Zionism, which terrorises the Holy Land, has the West by the balls, terrified to act. But the other day I was jolted out of my sno...

Kayleigh McEnany sets a bad example for American children

By: Mahmoud El-Yousseph White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany Says "Plan Is In Place To Fight Pandemic in 'Second Trump Administration.' "Does the White House "Barbie doll" live in Dreamland?The whole world knows that Trump has lost the election two weeks ago.Good luck to her finding a job that pays her to lie.After all, if Miss McEnany wants to bear false witness, she should at least tuck her cross when she stepped on the podium in the White House Briefing Room next time.A true Christian is not supposed to lie. She also sets a bad example for American children who see her as a role model.Besides, the Holy Bible says, "Thou shalt not bear false witness (another word for lie)."

Micheal Flynn: Treason should not be rewarded

By: Mahmoud El-Yousseph Dear editor As promised today, President Trump granted Micheal Flynn a full pardon. Wait, wait, don't tell me! Was he not the same White House official about who Trump once tweeted: "I had to fire General Flynn because he lied to the Vice President and the FBI." Flynn has pleaded guilty to those lies about his contacts with the Russian ambassador to the United States during the presidential transition period."  It has been reported that Ret. Gen. Flynn and his son Michael Flynn, Jr. were involved in a plot to kidnap a Muslim cleric living in the US and deliver him to the Turkish government for a $15 million fee During his time in office as Trump's first national security advisor, which last only 14 days, Flynn has the audacity to call the entire Islamic...

Escalating the Demographic War: The Strategic Goal of 'Israeli' Racism in Palestine

BY RAMZY BAROUD Photograph Source: ISM Palestine – CC BY-SA 2.0 The discussion on institutional Israeli racism against its own Palestinian Arab population has all but ceased following the final approval of the discriminatory Nation-State Law in July 2018. Indeed, the latest addition to Israel’s Basic Law is a mere start of a new government-espoused agenda that is designed to further marginalize over a fifth of Israel’s population. On Wednesday, October 28, eighteen members of the Israeli Parliament (Knesset) conjured up yet another ploy to target Israeli Arab citizens. They proposed a bill that would revoke Israeli citizenship for any Palestinian Arab prisoner in Israel who, directly or indirectly, receives any financial aid from the Palestinian Authority...

In Promoting New Nuclear Power, Biden-Harris Back Fiction Over Science

BY LINDA PENTZ GUNTER Nuclear fuel assemblies being inspected before entering a pressurized water reactor in the United States – Public Domain Although possibly a sad comment on his predecessors, incoming U.S. president, Joe Biden, is offering the most progressive climate policy so far of any who have previously held his position. As Paul Gipe points out in his recent blog, the Biden-Harris climate plan uses the word “revolution” right in the headline — a bit of a departure from the usual cautious rhetoric of the centrist-controlled Democratic Party. But ‘revolution’ is proceeded by two words which let us know we are still lingering in conservative ‘safe’ territory. They call it a “clean energy revolution”, which Gipe rightly refers to as “focus-group shopped terminol...

Trump’s Nuclear Weapons are Standing Up And Standing By

BY BRIAN CLOUGHLEY Photograph Source: The White House – Public Domain The President of the United States has the power to fire off thousands of nuclear weapons and destroy the world.  As succinctly explained by William Perry and Tom Collina in the New York Times, “Mr. Trump has the absolute authority to start a nuclear war. Within minutes, the president could unleash the equivalent of more than 10,000 Hiroshima bombs. He does not need a second opinion. The defense secretary has no say. Congress has no role.” This is the Trump who contracted the Covid 19 virus and on October 2 was taken to hospital where he was drugged to the eyeballs, referred to the infliction as “a blessing from God”, and declared “I’m a perfect physical specimen.” H...

What the Election Should Have Been About

BY STEVEN DANDANEAU Photograph by Nathaniel St. Clair Consult Roger Cohen in the Times on the “shrinking American mind” or Max Boot in the Post on the “sleaziest presidential campaign ever,” or any number of kindred spirits, and it is clear that the pundit class is dissatisfied with the depth of political debate in the run up to the 2020 national plebiscite. Let us assume, for the sake of argument, they are correct: political discourse is superficial, drug-down by scandal mongering, juvenile slurs, and, even in the best of times, stale “liberal” and “conservative” talking points. What is done is done. Let me suggest three ways that we might improve going forward. The U.S. suffers from state-sponsored opacity surplus. In their own ways and at different tim...
