ABOMINATIONS

This repugnant move by the British government confirms that London is simply an abject political vassal of Washington, and that the UK, as a result of both Tory intransigence and Blairite treachery, has no longer any effective sovereignty worthy of the name. Obviously we inhabit a world in which only plutocratic interests matter, as interpreted by the lying sociopaths in America. This is a moment that will tell us how many so-called “professional journalists”  have enough smarts (forget decency!) to see their own heads are now on the chopping block. Make a careful note of those who stand up and those who remain silent, or worse, cheer on the state execution of a truthteller.—Editors

THE SAKER-The White House Budget Office is scrambling to delay the looming Huawei ban lest US companies become overwhelmed by the Chinese telecomm giant’s absence. Meanwhile the Trump administration can’t decide whether its Huawei fears are an economic or a national security matter. RT America’s Michele Greenstein joins Rick Sanchez with the details.

BRUCE LERRO—The capitalists who run the world are cannibalizing their own infrastructures and their working class and all they can do is invest in wars and finance capital. They have no answers. It used to be that a capitalist would say to a socialist, triumphantly, “name one country where socialism works?”. We can now say without any hyperbole or dogma “name one capitalist country that works”. You know – the way Adam Smith described it and the way economics professors in the United States teach it.

PHILIP A. FARRUGGIO—During their trip down south, the pair gets stopped one night during a heavy rain by two local cops.  With guns drawn the older of the two deputies shouts to the driver, Tony Lip, to get out of the car in the pouring rain. He then yells to his partner to get the passenger, the black musician, out also. The young deputy states that there is no need to have the passenger get out, but is shouted down by his partner. As  Doc Shirley, the musician , and Tony Lip are standing in the monsoon, Tony Lip asks the deputy why they were pulled over. He is told, at gunpoint, that there is a ‘ Sundown ‘ rule in that town which forbids ‘Niggras ‘ from being out past sundown. The deputy questions why Tony Lip is driving a ‘ Niggra’ and what they are doing in his town. When the deputy finds out that Tony Lip is Italian he tells Tony that by being  Italian he is a ‘ Half a Niggra’, whereupon Tony Lip floors him with one punch… and the pair are arrested.
