Two Truths from the Pandemic No One Is Mentioning

by KIRKPATRICK SALE Two truths at least are certain in this post-pandemic world: 1) Humans have so dominated the world, destroying much of non-human life and systems in the process, that the world has struck back in recoil and seeks to readjust the balance.2) Human sustenance systems are far too large and unwieldly to be effective and the smaller the system or operation the more efficient, useful, friendly, or supportive. The first truth is of course the one that the current organizers of the world, the ones who have brought this crisis upon us, do not want to believe. To believe that, they would have to acknowledge that the global-liberal-capitalist-guided environment they have worked centuries—or, to be more precise, 75 years—to create has so damaged the environment t...

This is Not a Conspiracy, It is a Terrifying Opportunity

by BRAD EVANS “To create an event is thus to reject whatever is now nothing more than a ‘thirdworlding of human societies’, representing a shift from the EXOCOLONISATION of erstwhile empires to the ENDOCOLONISATION of the terminal empire”.– Paul Virilio, City of Panic, 2005“There will be in the next generation or so a method of making people love their servitude and producing dictatorship without tears so to speak. Producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda, or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution.”– Aldous Huxley, ...

Rabid white Trumpenvolk + vicious right-wing billionaires + dismal corporate Democrats+ listless “liberals”+ moronic “moderates” + ” weak-kneed “progressives” + an ocean of pathetic ex-citizens who “just don’t follow the news” or “do politics stuff” = authoritarian fascistic rule in the world’s most powerful state (though one silver lining is that the feeble U...

The Pandemic’s Catastrophic Hit to the Labor Market

by DEAN BAKER Photograph by Nathaniel St. Clair Temporary layoffs make up 78.3 percent of unemployment. As expected, the April jobs report showed a catastrophic hit to the labor market stemming from the pandemic. The economy lost another 20,500,000 jobs in April after losing 870,000 jobs in March. This is an order of magnitude higher than any previous two-month decline on record. The unemployment rate jumped to 14.7 percent, up 11.2 percentage points from what had been a 50-year low of 3.5 percent in February. The employment-to-population (EPOP) ratio was down 9.8 percentage points over this period, as 25.4 million fewer people report being employed in April than in February. There is some good news in this horrible picture, 78.3 percent of the unemployed are temporary lay...

Deforestation and Monoculture Farming Spread COVID-19 and Other Diseases

Rangers extinguish a fire in Seulawah, Indonesia, after the fire scorched hectares of pine trees on October 10, 2016. Pine forests are deliberately burned annually to clear land for palm oil and pulpwood plantations. BY: Gus Fisher, Truthout Over a year before COVID-19 was first detected, biologists at the University of Warsaw published “Bats, Coronaviruses, and Deforestation,” a paper that links the rapid destruction of the natural habitats of bats to the spread of coronaviruses such as SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV. Published in April 2018, the article describes how the homes of bats in the rainforests of Southeast Asia have been reduced by 50 percent over the last 70 years, putting the disease-carrying animals in closer contact with humans than ever before. It then details th...

Trump Dismisses Chinese American Reporter’s Question Saying, “Ask China!”

President Donald Trump made a questionable remark on Monday during a press briefing at the White House, telling an Asian American reporter to “ask China” in response to a question she asked. CBS News White House correspondent Weijia Jiang asked Trump to explain why he was obsessed with comparing testing percentages with other countries. Earlier in the press briefing, Trump had errantly claimed that the United States was among the top nations in the world in terms of coronavirus testing on a per capita basis. In fact, among countries where daily testing figures for the past 20 days have been made available, the U.S. is ranked below 10 other countries. “Why is this a global competition to you if every day Americans are still losing their lives, and we’re still se...

When “Fake News” Was Banned

An America Trump Might Have LovedBy Adam HochschildEvery month, it seems, brings a new act in the Trump administration’s war on the media. In January, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo exploded at National Public Radio reporter Mary Louise Kelly when he didn’t like questions she asked -- and then banned a colleague of hers from the plane on which he was leaving for a trip to Europe and Asia. In February, the Trump staff booted a Bloomberg News reporter out of an Iowa election campaign event.The president has repeatedly called the press an “enemy of the people” -- the very phrase that, in Russian (vrag naroda),was applied by Joseph Stalin’s prosecutors to the millions of people they sent to the gulag or to execution chambers. In that context, Trump’s term for BuzzFeed, a “failing pile of ...
