KALI AKUNO—The net effect of the positional gains of the liberals is that the rebellion is showing some clear signs of being defused, such as the serious policing of the movement on the streets that is occurring in many places. This is starting to isolate the left in many critical ways and put it and its proposals on the defensive. This is best expressed in the hardcore efforts to water down the abolitionist demand of “defunding” and “abolishing” the police, to which we will return shortly.

Bill Maher gets owned by Glenn Greenwald over religion and US intervention plus Greenwald on the “ideological Bubbles” separating Americans
11 minutes readThere are occasions when Bill Maher imprudently chews more than he can swallow. This is an occasion when Maher, an unabashed apologist for Israel and Democrat party corruption, meets his match in Glenn Greenwald. Too bad Glenn’s machine-gun delivery is a bit overwhelming and probably not attractive to general brainwashed audiences—who will be left in the propaganda dust—when listening to his exposés. Note that Maher’s panel also has on board the notorious Joy Reid, later to become a major tool for the distribution of the Russiagate hoax, and good exponent of the Trump Derangemet Syndrome. As a bonus, we also present Jimmy Dore’s 3-part interview with Glenn on the media and ideological divides keeping Americans fighting over political fantasies instead of realities.

Beware the hijacking of U.S. protests into a ‘Color Revolution’
23 minutes readMAX PARRY—In the last decade, the United States has gotten its own taste of the incitement and agitations that have previously fallen upon governments across the global south. Instead, domestically the CIA cutouts in the non-profit industrial complex have played a pivotal counterrevolutionary role in co-opting and ultimately derailing such uprisings meant to bring systemic change to the U.S. political system. In late 2011, the Occupy Wall Street movement emerged at Zuccotti Park in New York City’s financial district against the deepening global economic inequality following the Great Recession and the protests quickly spread to other cities and continents. In just a few months, the sit-in was expelled from Lower Manhattan and the anti-capitalist movement itself largely was diverted towards reformism and away from its original radical intentions. It was also revealed the origins of OWS and its marketing campaign were traced to Adbusters, a media foundation that was the recipient of grants from the Democratic Party-connected Tides Foundation, a progressive policy center which receives significant endowments from none other than George Soros and the OSF.

Playing Catch-Up: Hypersonic Strike Systems Of United States
17 minutes readWhereas the US military establishment embraced stealth as a “silver bullet” technological solution to all manner of tactical and even strategic problems, Russia’s approach was more measured. While the studies that have led to this conclusion probably will remain classified for a long period of time, the Russian military came to the reasonable conclusion that since avoiding detection cannot be guaranteed, the best way to deal with missile defenses is to decrease exposure time by making the missiles ever-faster.
