This is Your Security Force
“The United States government put a cyanide bomb 350ft from my house, and killed my dog and poisoned my child,” said Theresa Mansfield, Canyon’s mother. Of course they did. And do you believe that there will be any accountability whatsoever? Of course not.
6/27/20 Mike Swanson on America’s ‘Zombie Firms’
Mike Swanson discusses the continuing economic fallout from the coronavirus, focusing in particular on what are sometimes called “zombie companies.” These firms stay afloat largely because of easy money available at low interest rates, even though their business may be fundamentally unsound. Crucially, the government response to the coronavirus has continued to enable this behavior by bailing out firms that would otherwise go bankrupt. Swanson argues that in a healthy environment such firms should be allowed to go bankrupt—a vital feature of any market economy—as would huge sectors of...
Shame On You, Charlie Savage
We all know you know better than to write such garbage as this. Someone says that "intelligence" says that the Russians are paying to have Americans killed in Afghanistan, huh? And you put your name on that? I mean sure, if you were David Sanger, but you're Charlie Savage and that means that you have really done a terrible, terrible thing here.

6/22/20 Vincent Bevins on the Mass Murder Program that Shaped Our World
Scott interviews journalist Vincent Bevins about his latest book, The Jakarta Method, in which he lays out some of the history of the U.S. government’s support for violent right-wing coups all over the world. During the Cold War, America backed brutal extremists in Indonesia, Brazil, Chile, Iraq, and elsewhere, who were responsible all told for the deaths of millions of civilians—all in the name of defeating the threat of communism and socialism. Unlike the well-known and well-publicized crimes of left-wing dictators like Pol Pot in Cambodia, almost nobody in the United States today knows...
North Carolina Cops Fired Over Conversations About ‘Slaughtering’ Black People
“We are just gonna go out and start slaughtering them f---ing ni----,” [Officer] Piner reportedly said. He also said a second civil war was needed to “wipe ’em off the f---ing map.” Jeez, I wonder why black people think the cops are out to get them.
