Just because there might have been some active duty military members involved does not a Pentagon plot make. There is absolutely nothing in the article that even hints that anything other than a few individuals were involved, much less the Joint Chiefs or any part of the command structure.

But it is La Lucha, so there’s that. They may not even…[Read more]

As you know, I’m not exactly CT-minded, but this screams LIHOP and MIHOP about the Capitol riot. How long was the media, not only the corporate media but the World Socialist Web Site as well, screaming about the coming Trump coup? I’ve been hearing that now off and on for years, and it really ramped up as soon as the 2020 election campaigns got…[Read more]

I’m just so sick of race being described as the cause of everything bad in this country. Makes me ornery.

I didn’t say it was a class protest. I am saying it’s not primarily motivated by racism.

Just that the primary motivation was not racism. It was the cult of Trump, wrapped up with all sorts of conspiracy theories every bit as silly as Russiagate.

There was still an underlying class factor, though. This would not have happened if Congress, and Trump, to be sure, had acted responsibly in addressing the pandemic instead of using it as…[Read more]

You’re on a roll today. Slavery wasn’t caused by racism, and America wasn’t settled in the name of racism. Racism was used by slavers to make sure that poor whites didn’t join forces with black slaves, which happened several times in the American colonies before the concept of a white race was artificially created by the planter class.

The idea…[Read more]

You know what that means.

There’s a LOT more going on here than just racism, but liberals will never admit it. The last thing they want to happen is class consciousness. In that respect, they’re no different than conservative Republicans.

The prime motivation for the capitol riot was not racism. Period.

One is the Operations Division, which does all of the nasty things you reference. The other is the Analysis Division, which actually does provide usually accurate intelligence to the president and others. Their CIA Factbook is a great resource for anyone, and has a lot of inconvenient truths in it.

When it comes to policies and actions, the two…[Read more]

But they won’t allow a floor vote on Medicare for All during a pandemic. What does that say?

I hate to say nice things about Clyburn, but he has at least taken the less bad position here. The Senate has far more urgent things to do once Biden is inaugurated, like getting us all 2 grand ASAP, to name just one.

You’re right, of course. Until we have public campaign financing and verifiable paper ballots, politicians and elections will continue to be bought and manipulated, respectively.

At least not to me, it wasn’t. Thanks for the clarification.

In the case of the brokerage firms, they might have gotten signals from some investors they weren’t happy. I don’t know what their true motivations are, but I’m pretty damned sure it’s not because they give a shit about a democracy they know doesn’t exist in the first place.

Facebook, Twitter and Amazon should also be treated as public utilities, IMO. In fact, Amazon should be flat-out nationalized and made part of the Postal Service. All it is is a glorified warehouse, anyway, with WAY too much power.

Where does this respect for these greedy corporations come from, anyway?

Just yesterday, some major corporate political donors announced they will no longer donate to the Republican senators who voted to overturn the election results. Now, today, the Turtle comes out and says this. It is no coincidence. The oligarchy wants Trump taken off the board, and their loyal servant Mitch will oblige. Here’s Kyle Kulinski’s…[Read more]
