It is “ridiculous” to believe that the Russians somehow tipped the November election to Donald Trump. “What was Hillary Clinton offering,” asked Sara Flounders, of UNAC, the United National Anti-War Coalition. “She was promising, ‘You’re going to have more of the same for the next eight years,’ plus all kinds of military threats. And, they also moved farther to the Right. That was rejected.” UNAC is gearing up for its yearly conference, June 16 to 18, in Richmond, Virginia, under the theme: The Need for an Independent Path. “We don’t place a bit of confidence in the Republicans or Democrats,” said Flounders. “They both represent Wall Street and corporate power.”

UNAC Advocates “Independent Path” to Peace

U.S. rulers are experiencing a “crisis of political governance, a meltdown of the political system,” due to the “collapse of the parties of the duopoly,” said Dr. Anthony Monteiro, the Philadelphia-based Duboisian scholar. The policies and practice of both parties “became antagonistic to the minimal expectations of the masses. ”The elite didn’t see it coming,” said Monteiro. “In order to reestablish their legitimacy, they have to say that the Russians hacked the election and are threatening western ‘democracy,’ itself.” The real crisis is “their inability to govern the country.”

Going Rogue, episode 15

America's unelected power establishment has been using Russiagate to manufacture support for escalations aimed at crippling Russia with the ultimate goal of preventing China from becoming a rival superpower. But they can't just tell us that, can they?

Going Rogue With Caitlin Johnstone

Russiagate Isn't About Trump, And It Isn't Even Ultimately About Russia

What is Russiagate and where did it start? Any attempt to answer that question always leads back to shady warmongering neocon think tanks full of the same evil people who've advocated every disastrous military intervention in recent history.

Ep 24: Modern "Liberals" Are 1950s Authoritarians

Trump national security advisor John Bolton “is simply a militarist,” said Phyllis Bennis, director of the New International Project at the Institute for Policy Studies, in Washington. “He has never seen an international challenge, an international crisis, that did not require direct US military intervention to solve it.” Bolton and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo are heading up the administration’s negotiations with North Korea.

Bolton, the Reflexive Bomber

A record US war budget was approved last week. Democrats voted 2 to 1 for Trump's military parade, his space force, and the expansion of the US empire of a thousand bases around the world. The resistance is really the assistance.

When the Resistance Is Really The Assistance

The recent two-week lockdown of Pennsylvania’s prison system was based on scientifically baseless claims that contraband drugs created a health crisis for prison employees, according to Kris Henderson, of the Amistad Law Project. Most drugs don’t enter prison through mail to inmates, said Henderson, but are smuggled in by prison staff.
