Friend-of-show Dr. Cornel West has been in the news a lot of late, and not always in a happy way.

Joe Shlabotnik started the topic Useful Idiots: Bad Chauvin Verdict Reactions, Notes from the Anus-Having Club, and More Vanguard Time Travel in the forum Multimedia 2 weeks ago

A nation is gripped by a police-abuse trial, and Republicans and Democrats both find a way to suck about it.

What separates the human being from the lower animals? Language? Morality? Comfortable shoes? None of the above, says Live Science. The real differentiator, they say, is what lay beneath, explaining in a…[Read more]

Joe Shlabotnik replied to the topic Cyrus Janssen on the Meng Wanzhou extradition in the forum Multimedia 1 month ago

I’m not overly familiar with the details of the case that he presented, but its a diplomatic nightmare for Trudeau. Canada’s keystone-kops will get blamed (correctly) and Meng walks, and the “two Micheals” walk in return. Once again Canada really stepped in it by being the US’s lackey, and successive Canadian governments are addicted to China’s…[Read more]

Washington’s involvement in the violent overthrow of the democratically elected government of Chile in September 1973 is by this point well known. The pivotal role played by Brazil has not been as clear until now.

On the anniversary of the 1964 US-backed coup that led to Brazilian President Joao Goulart being replaced by a military junta, the N…

Thomas Frank
One day in March 2015, I sat in a theater in New York City and took careful notes as a series of personages led by Hillary Clinton and Melinda Gates described the dazzling sunburst of liberation that was coming our way thanks to entrepreneurs, foundations and Silicon Valley.

Joe Shlabotnik replied to the topic I’m Thinking About Getting a VPN. Need Some Advice in the forum Computers and Technology 1 month ago

I never even thought of calling them, just purchased online. For someone like myself with zero computer skills, it was painless to install and set up. You can install it on up to 6 devices too. The only downside to VPN’s is google, YouTube etc. will pester you to prove you are not a bot all the time. I think Duck Duck Go doesn’t do this though.
