A simply amazing interview with one of the most amazing journalists around, Whitney Webb, whose work easily outstrips in quality and importance even that of legendary figures like the Watergate reporters, after all blowing the whistle on a mere intramural dirty trick inside the same mafia.
The Epoch Times has long denied having direct ties to Falun Gong. Mr. Gregory said that the organization was primarily funded through subscriptions and ads, and that “donations are a small part of our income.” The outlet’s heavy spending online, coupled with its unconventional background and its charged partisan content, has raised eyebrows among social media watchdogs.
RAMIN MAZAHERI—Increasing the concentration of power and money in the Western-led 1% is also the explanation for the US-Saudi petrodollar deal: what did the 1% care if consumer prices rose due to higher oil costs when the resulting hyper-financialisation created fabulous wealth for them?

The economic situation is dire and is deteriorating. Former Federal Reserve Chairperson Janet Yellen said in a CNBC interview on Monday that the US is in the midst of an “absolutely shocking” downturn. Unemployment is as high as 13 percent, Yellen estimated, and the overall contraction of the US economy is already at 30 percent.
Yellen’s views were seconded by JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, who, in his annual shareholder letter released on Monday, wrote that he expects a “bad recession.” According to Dimon, the gross domestic product could fall as much as 35 percent in the second quarter, and the downturn will probably last through the rest of the year.
DIEGO DIEZ—How did Biden win? Well, here in Chicago Sanders hasn’t campaigned much. This month he held a big rally at Grant Park in the centre of the city. Ten thousand people (of course it was much more than this official MSM figure – I saw it), a huge US flag, “socialism with American jingoist characteristics” to the non-believers/socialist militants, perhaps. Biden however, is supposed to hold a rally at Malcolm X College. It may be cancelled due to Coronavirus.
