  There WAS a color revolution in the US after all – and its architects now BOAST of how they ‘fortified’ the 2020 election Nebojsa Malic             A Democrat activist protesting outside the US Capitol, January 18, 2021.  ©   REUTERS/Caitlin Ochs The 2020 US presidential elections wasn’t “rigged,” oh no, but “fortified” by a conspiracy of activists united in saving “Our Democracy” from the Bad Orange Man, now proud to share their story in a friendly tell-all piece in TIME. “There was a conspiracy unfolding behind the scenes,”  writes  Molly Ball – a biographer of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, by the way – in TIME magazine this week, describing it as a  “vast, cross-partisan campaign to protect the election – an extraordinary shadow effort.” Ball’s article reveals a lot, from why there were no street riots by Democrats either on November 4 or on January 6 – the organizers of this  “conspiracy”  stopped them –...

 Thanks to Iowablackbird for bringing this to our attention... Rest in Power, Anne Feeney (1951-2021) Alexander Bradbury                   Left, on the Staley strike line in Decatur, Illinois, in 1995. Right, at the Labor Notes Conference in 2012.  This week the U.S. labor movement lost its best-known and best-loved troubadour: the great folksinger-songwriter Anne Feeney. She died of Covid on February 3, at age 69, with her children at her side. With her fantastic songs and feisty spirit, she made an incalculable contribution to the movement. She is irreplaceable, and gone too soon. Feeney’s beloved original anthems like “ Have You Been to Jail for Justice? ” and “ War on the Workers ” and rocking renditions of classics like “Union Maid” and “Solidarity Forever” are staples of the picket-line playlist. Her frequent touring partners  Evan Greer and Chris Chandler  wrote: Starting in 1987–when she was inspired by Faith Petri...

  The children’s mental health epidemic was caused by lockdowns, not COVID-19 “The pandemic” is not responsible for inhumane action. Jordan Schachtel Lockdowns, not COVID-19, are driving children and teens (who are not remotely threatened by COVID-19) in America and throughout the world into deep mental health crises, brought about by people who are supposed to be responsible for their wellbeing. This crisis is entirely a lockdown proponent-manifested crisis. It is not a pandemic-related issue, nor a “side effect” of the overall COVID-19 pandemic. Bad decisions were made by reckless people, and kids are suffering because of it.  For months and months, the emerging mental health crisis was swept under the rug, as “public health experts” remained solely focused on fighting a war against a disease with a 99.8% recovery rate, and putting every other issue aside, as if they simply did not exist. However, the crisis has become so devastating and so vast that there is no longer any a...

Thanks to James for contributing this article. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As the spirit of patriotism and belief in scientific and technological progress was slowly suffocated throughout the Cold War, the governing class that Russell represented sunk its talons into civilization ever more deeply. Ninety years ago, Bertrand Russell wrote a book entitled  The Scientific Outlook . In it, the philosopher and sometimes imperial grand strategist made the point that society has become far too complex to be left to democratic institutions. In the modern age of advanced warfare, only a scientific dictatorship could be trusted to lead society, while the thoughtless masses of human cattle should be given the illusion of democracy and freedom. Sovereign nation states must be superseded by world government and thus two parallel cultures, two educations and two moralities must be shaped. Russell laid out his grim worldview of a master/slave dominated order in the following terms: “The scientif...
