10/25/19 Jon Schwarz on America’s Long History of Betraying the Kurds
Jon Schwarz gives us a brief history of America's many betrayals of the Kurds since the end of World War I. In a recent article for The Intercept he describes at least eight separate times the U.S. government has used Kurdish fighters to its own advantage and then later allowed, or even encouraged, other countries to turn on them while America pulls its support. Although he thinks President Trump's betrayal of our Kurdish allies this time around is bad, just like all the other times, he reminds us that this is a necessary consequence of running a world empire. We should direct our anger...
Poll: Americans Are Always Wrong About the Most Important Things
The Hill: A large majority of voters — 84 percent — are concerned about the prospect of Iran obtaining nuclear weapons, according to a Hill-HarrisX poll released on Monday. That's more than those who expressed concern over other foreign policy issues, including North Korea’s use of ballistic missiles, U.S. election security, Turkey’s military action in Syria and President Trump’s ongoing trade war with China. Voters across party lines expressed concern over Iran's nuclear capabilities. Of those polled, 89 percent of Democratic voters said they were either very or somewhat concerned...
10/25/19 Kieren McCarthy on the FBI’s National Security Surveillance Lies
Kieren McCarthy discusses the recent revelation that the FBI has access to the NSA's national security database, and has queried it tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of times. The database, gathered under special surveillance powers by the NSA and CIA, is not supposed to be accessible by other law enforcement agencies, except under special cases of investigating foreigners for purposes of national security. But it turns out that regular FBI agents have in fact been using it to gather information on American crimes by American citizens. McCarthy points out that even after this kind of...
10/25/19 Trevor Aaronson on the FBI’s Unconstitutional Investigative Powers
Trevor Aaronson discusses some of the FBI's egregious abuses of its power over American citizens, most recently brought to light by their use of an informant to investigate a law-abiding militia group in California for years. Although the FBI claims to be concerned with acts of violence alone, and not ideology, cases like this are clear examples of their willingness to go after people only for their views, and despite the absence of any wrongdoing whatsoever. Most of the supposedly foiled terrorist plots of recent years, in fact, are FBI entrapments to begin with, as Aaronson documents in...
Washington Post Eulogizes ‘Austere Religious Scholar’ Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi
No foolin'. https://twitter.com/LizRNC/status/1188477530602377218 Not that the U.S.A. under the Obama government, at the constant urging of GOP leaders such as John McCain, and their allies at the Washington Post, New York Times, Daily Beast, Foreign Affairs and all the TV networks, have been siding with the benevolent "moderate" Syrian bin Ladenite terrorists of al Nusra, ISIS and Arar al-Sham all this time or anything. Besides, everybody knows, despite all evidence, that Iran, not the U.S.A. and its allies, is the "Greatest State Sponsor of Terrorism in the World," and since they like...

Good. Now there's even less excuse for the U.S. to stay in Syria and Iraq.
