Lessons To Learn From The Coup In Bolivia

The coup in Bolivia is devastating for the majority of the people in that country. Are their lessons to be learnt from it? Andrea Lobo writes at WSWS: Bolivian president Evo Morales of the Movement Toward Socialism (MAS) party was forced to resign Sunday evening by the Bolivian military in a coup backed by the United States. Last night, Morales tweeted that he is “leaving for Mexico” after that country agreed to grant him asylum. After three weeks of protests following the disputed October 20 presidential elections, the imperialist powers and their Bolivian client elite have overthrown the government of Morales. In the context of a deepening crisis of global capitalism and a ...
Farage’s “Big Ask” May Save Brexit As Johnson Concedes

Nigel Farage is the face of Brexit. From the start of his political career he’s gone for the “Big Ask,” as his friend Donald Trump would put it, get the U.K. out of the European Union. Everyone in the Western political establishment hates him because of this. Over the past year he has been prophetic in his analysis of how the Conservatives have maneuvered to betray the U.K.’s departure from the European Union. For more than a week since announcing the Brexit Party’s electoral strategy, Farage has been under enormous pressure from all quarters to stand down many of his candidates and not fight the Tories. Farage’s initial strategy, contest the whole ...

Beto O’Rourke is going to put Donald Trump away now and forever by winning Texas’s 38 electoral votes Posted at 7:59 pm on October 29, 2019 by Brett T. Beto O’Rourke couldn’t beat Ted Cruz in the race for senator from Texas, but he seems fairly certain that he’s going to turn Texas blue, winning the state’s 38 electoral votes and putting away Donald Trump forever.

The Incredible Shrinking Overton Window
Post Date: 2019-11-05 09:11:20 by Ada

“The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum — even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there’s free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate.” ~ Noam Chomsky The plutocrat-owned narrative managers of the political/media class work constantly to shrink the Overton window, the spectrum of debate that is considered socially acceptable. They do this by framing more and more debates in terms of how the oligarchic empire ...
Nancy Pelosi made this impeachment mistake that instantly blew up in the Democrats faces

Nancy Pelosi made this impeachment mistake that instantly blew up in the Democrats faces Democrats are quickly realizing they bit off more than they can chew on impeachment. Each day makes it more clear that House Speaker Pelosi and her allies miscalculated the fallout from deciding to try and remove Donald Trump from office. And Nancy Pelosi made this impeachment mistake that instantly blew up in the Democrats faces. The unintended consequences of impeachment continue to pile up for the Democrats. Democrats are not expected to vote on articles of impeachment until December or even early next year. That would put a Senate trial in January in the crucial weeks leading up to the ...

CBS-News carried another bucket of muddy water for the coup team Sunday night with a lead 60 Minutes agit-prop story on Maria Butina, an ambitious Russian cutie who worked the American NRA circuit in the most public manner imaginable to make herself into a sex-bomb celebrity at the exact moment in history when the US Deep State wished to reinforce the fantasy, as Lesley Stahl put it, that “Russia was interfering in our electoral process.” Of course, Ms. Stahl and her shifty producers left out half the story: how Maria Butina was manipulated by her FBI-handler and sometime-boyfriend, Patrick Byrne, the former Overstock.com CEO who had been employed by the Bureau over the years ...
Farage’s High Risk Strategy for Brexit
Post Date: 2019-11-04 13:11:36 by Ada

Nigel Farage has thrown down the gauntlet to Boris Johnson over the election strategy. Johnson has refused. Of course he did. Farage made an offer Johnson couldn’t accept, ditch the Withdrawal Treaty he just negotiated with the EU and truly campaign on a far harder Brexit than Johnson has ever advocated for. If he doesn’t do that face Farage’s Brexit Party standing candidates in more than 500 seats and potentially split the Leave vote. Mike Shedlock thinks Farage’s deal is “Preposterous.” Mike is wrong. It is the only offer Farage could offer the Tories and stay in any way relevant in a time of electoral chaos and party fluidity. It is the kind of ...

And so Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff take the Republic into a dangerous defile on a dark day as they engineer a House resolution with rules for a medieval-style inquiry on the existence of phantoms. The phantom du jour, of course, is the fabled “whistleblower,” a CIA ectoplasm identified by everybody and his uncle in Swampland as one Eric Ciarmarella, 33, a former Joe Biden staffer, Obama White House low-level NSC holdover, and John Brennan “asset” deeply involved in Ukrainian pranks during the 2016 election and subsequent disinformation leakage to the media since the early days of the Trump administration. The “whistleblower’s” trail winds through every ...
New York Times Reporter Sat On Public Records Challenging Warren’s Pregnancy-Discrimination Claim

A reporter who now works for the New York Times failed to report on public records which he obtained in April that cut against Senator Elizabeth Warren’s (D., Mass.) claim that she was fired from a teaching position in 1971 due to pregnancy discrimination. Reid Epstein, who was then working for the Wall Street Journal, filed an open-records request with the Riverdale Board of Education on April 2 seeking “to inspect or obtain” copies of public records relating to Warren’s time teaching at Riverdale during the 1970-1971 school year. In response to his request, Epstein received school-board minutes on April 10 that challenge Warren’s story, according to documents ...

Judging by the volume of intemperate emails and angry social media blasts that come my way, the party of impeachment seems to be inhaling way too much gas from the smoking guns it keeps finding in the various star chambers of its inquisition against you-know-who. You’d think that the failure of Mr. Mueller’s extravaganza might have chastened them just a little — a $32 million-dollar effort starring the most vicious partisan lawyers inside-the-Beltway, 2,800 subpoenas issued over two years, 500 search warrants exercised, and finally nothing whatever to pin on Mr. Trump — except the contra-legal assertion that now he must prove his innocence. When you state just that, ...
Johnson and Macron – Caretakers or Betrayers of Brexit?

While everyone, including myself, has speculated how Boris Johnson could be the Hero of Brexit, it may come down to French President Emmanuel Macron being that hero. Macron has made noise after noise about not wanting to grant any more extensions to the U.K. to delay Brexit. He wants Brexit completed. That’s what Macron wants you to believe. And as we close out another week of Brexit drama, that’s what everyone is supposed to talk about until Monday when Boris Johnson brings forth his latest attempt to get a General Election through a Parliament inchoate with hatred of him. Mike Shedlock has his latest take up on his blog covering this angle. It is well-considered. Mike ...

A Republican businesswoman from Alabama has declared her intention to run for Congress and form her own 'Squad' to oppose Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Jessica Taylor, a mother of three who runs her own business, on Monday launched her campaign for Alabama's second congressional district, blasting the New York Democrat in a video ad that quickly went viral. 'Like you, I'm tired of arrogant socialists like AOC who've never even run a lemonade stand telling us how we should live in Alabama and that more government is the answer,' Taylor said in the ad.

Here's Why 97% Of Congress Get Re-Elected Each Year

How is 97 percent of Congress able to get re-elected each year even though only 17 percent of the American people believe our representatives are doing a good job? It’s called an incumbent protection system. Taxpayers have a right to know how it works. Recently, our auditors at OpenTheBooks.com, mashed up the federal checkbook with the congressional campaign donor database (source: OpenSecrets.org). We found powerful members of Congress soliciting campaign donations from federal contractors based in their districts. We followed the money and found a culture of conflict-of-interest. The confluence of federal money, campaign cash, private employment, investments, prestigious ...

Democratic presidential hopeful Rep. Tulsi Gabbard has apparently gotten an endorsement she said she can do without — from former KKK leader David Duke. The 68-year-old white supremacist and former GOP Louisiana state senator plastered a banner on his Twitter page prominently featuring a photograph of the Hawaiian lawmaker, the New York Post reported. “Tulsi Gabbard for President,” it blares, along with the tagline: “Finally a candidate who will actually put America First rather than Israel First!” “Tulsi Gabbard is currently the only Presidential candidate who doesn’t want to send White children off to die for Israel,” the former Grand Wizard ...

The nation’s top voting machine maker, Election Systems and Software (ES&S), admitted to Congress that the company installed remote-access software on election-management systems it sold over a six year period.

A lot of readers (some of them former readers now) have been angrily twanging me by email for writing about the three-year Resistance effort to un-do the 2016 election. I did not vote for Mr. Trump (or Mrs. Clinton) but I resent the coup mounted to overthrow him. I object to the bad faith and dishonesty of the Resistance. I object to the criminal misconduct among the federal bureaucracy, and the mendacity of its partners in the news media, and the hysteria they continue to generate — at the expense of other matters that concern our future. The political disorder spooling out is the political expression of the long emergency that the nation faces as it finally encounters the limits to ...

McConnell Stands Firmly with Trump, Says Impeachment Stops 'with Me' Volume 90% By C. Douglas Golden Published October 5, 2019 at 8:12am If the Democrats want to send impeach President Trump and send the matter to the Senate for a trial, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says he’s ready to stop it. Even if they don’t impeach Trump, McConnell’s still making the spectacle the centerpiece of his re-election bid. According to The Hill, McConnell has launched a series of ads on Facebook in which the Kentucky Republican says the impeachment push stops “with me.” “Nancy Pelosi’s in the clutches of a left-wing mob,” he says in one ad. ...
It’s a Numbers Game in the Coup to Stop Johnson and Brexit

I told you the other day that there was a coup underway by the elites I call The Davos Crowd. It started with the British Supreme Court overturning centuries of the balance of powers and ended with the Democrats in Congress announcing impeachment proceedings against President Trump. When the decision came down from the Supreme Court I began my weekly article for Strategic Culture Foundation. They published it today. In that piece I outline what the dynamics are and what the options were for both sides of the Brexit conundrum. So, now with this ruling in place what’s next and what’s really going on tactically and strategically? Johnson, for his part, refuses to resign. He ...
UK Police: “Fastest-Growing Terror Threat from Far-Right”

"The fastest-growing terror threat in the UK comes from far-right extremism", police have said. Neil Basu, the UK head of counter-terrorism, said "seven of the 22 plots foiled since March 2017 have been linked to the ideology". He said far-right terrorism had gone from 6% of the caseload two years ago to 10% today, adding: "It's small but it's my fastest-growing problem." But, he said, the biggest threat still came from jihadists. Basu, Assistant Commissioner for the Metropolitan Police, said some of the "right-wing plots" they disrupted were "designed to kill people" - and methods mimicked those seen in jihadist attacks, with ...

The memory hole that appeared in America’s zeitgeist around 2016 is expanding like some evil cosmic rot. Things happen and then things unhappen and after a while it’s like they never happened. For instance, little seems to have happened all summer long with the matter known as RussiaGate, the attempt by high US government officials to overthrow the result of the 2016 election by pretending that Russia was trying to interfere in the 2016 election. Quite a confection of lies and subterfuge. It apparently grew out of an effort at the highest levels of the Obama administration well before 2016 to run so-called intel operations against the perceived enemies of Mr. Obama’s ...

The tale of Oleg Smolenkov is just the latest load of high-level BS dumped on us by intelligence agencies When I was 20, I studied at the Leningrad Polytechnical Institute, in the waning days of the Soviet empire. Most of the Russians I met were amusingly free of stress caused by following news. Why would they bother? Bull-factories like Rossiskaya Gazeta and Leningradsaya Pravda were basically collections of dreary government news releases rewritten to sound like news reports. I saw newspapers in Leningrad shredded into slivers of toilet paper, used in place of curtains in dorm rooms, even stuffed into overcoat linings as insulation. But I can’t recall a Russian person actually ...

Erdogan Lost Istanbul. Is Orban About to Lose Budapest?

(Bloomberg) -- Strongmen can struggle to maintain a hold over their nations’ major cities. Recep Tayyip Erdogan couldn’t stop an opposition candidate becoming Istanbul’s mayor. Protesters are giving Vladimir Putin a hard time in Moscow. A similar battle could be playing out in Hungary. While Prime Minister Viktor Orban reigns supreme after bringing the media under his control and rewriting electoral rules, rivals sense an opportunity in local votes next month and are uniting behind single candidates. Budapest, the eastern European country’s liberal-leaning capital, is a case in point. Opposition hopeful Gergely Karacsony, a youthful local politician who’s savvy ...
