They aren't journos, they're hangers-on and pitchmen. America needs a Nuremberg Trial.

On 09/17/16 ~100 SAA soliders killed at Deir Ezzor by US coalition airstrikes. Very hard to believe they did not know of SAA presence since the airbase had been under siege since 2014.

guys, what's the name of the background song?

Dungeons & Deagles: Rat Wash 1871 [Patreon Preview]

On today's episode Brian Becker and Prof. Richard Wolff discuss the massive wildfires in Canada that blanketed the East Coast in a haze of smoke for days. As the climate crisis intensifies, hazardous conditions are set to become more and more common in every part of the world. But for the capitalists, the only thing that matters is that their employees keep coming in to the job, regardless of the severe health dangers. Without workers working, the capitalists make zero profits.

As the Worm Turns

note: this episode was recorded the evening before the most recent provocation toward Iran by Israel and subsequent retaliation. 

Abby and Robbie Martin continue to provide updates about Gaza, the crackdown on pro Palestinian activists around the world and the calculus the US empire makes by ultimately benefitting from the escalation of brazen war crimes by Israel and how the US shares an 'exceptionalism' mentality with Israel that mutually benefit both countries on the geopolitical stage like with the US openly announcing GITMO and extra-judicial killings in the 'War on Terror'

Gaza Solidarity Camps, Hasbara Ops & Police State Response

The unique threat and vileness of Donald Trump’s presidency can’t be overstated. Since he took office a year ago, he’s increased civilian deaths in Afghanistan by 50%, increased civilian deaths in Syria and Iraq (surpassing Obama’s death toll in just under 7 months), issued dozens of nuclear threats against North Korea, unraveled the Iran deal, bombed Hezbollah, Iranian and SAA positions in Syria, signed a smash and grab tax bill for billionaires, and issued order after order making life hell for immigrants and other vulnerable communities.

But with this unique threat comes a rhetorical habit of "Trumpwashing" that, while perhaps tempting in the short term, will - in the long term - have disastrous effects.  

The desire to revamp the image of the pre-Trump Republican party and the United States in general – a concept Ali Abunimah coined “Trumpwashing” - is a favorite rhetorical tic of Russia-obsessed democrats and centrist extremists who’s primary charge is treating the phenomenon of Donald Trump as anomalous from American history, rather than its most pure, and even logical, manifestation. This trope - in addition to denying the realities of the past hundred years of American politics and policy - carries with it pernicious long term effects.

We discuss this broader narrative with The Intercept's Jon Schwarz.
