John Stanton | Intrepid Report - TRANSCEND Media Service,
14 Dec 2020
11 Dec 2020 – What is the point of the United States spending 1.2 trillion dollars on national security/defense when its healthcare system, critical infrastructure (bridges, sewage pipes, roads, etc.), small to mid-sized businesses, and social safety nets—even the constitutional order— are collapsing? Maybe it is all part of the plan.

Coronavirus Protocols as Tools of Repression
Ann Garrison | Black Agenda Report – TRANSCEND Media Service,
14 Dec 2020
10 Dec 2020 – Covid-19 is a convenient excuse for governments to ban or restrict activities they don’t like. State measures to control coronavirus undoubtedly have great potential for justifying state repression and surveillance. “It’s beyond the Patriot Act authors’ wildest dreams.” In Africa, it’s been crudely weaponized to suppress elections, as witnessed in Uganda and Ethiopia.

Edward Curtin | Behind the Curtain – TRANSCEND Media Service,
14 Dec 2020
While great songs usually take but a few minutes to travel from the singer’s mouth to the listener’s ears, they keep echoing for a long time, as if they had taken both singer and listener on a circular journey out and back, and then, in true Odyssean fashion, replay the cyclic song of the shared poetic mystery that is life and death, love and loss, the going up and coming down, the abiding nostalgia for a future home.

Edward Curtin – TRANSCEND Media Service,
7 Dec 2020
5 Dec 2020 – In 1997, Don DeLillo, the author of seventeen novels, published what many consider his masterpiece, Underworld.

9 Nov 2020 – Although most international actors agree that our current food system is broken, not all agree on how this call for ‘food systems transformation’ should go.

23 Nov 2020
21 Nov 2020 – It’s time to step back and realize we are witnessing something this country has never seen before: a sitting president trying to undo a free and fair election and challenging the very basis of our democracy.

Joshua Cho | FAIR- Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting – TRANSCEND Media Service,
16 Nov 2020
13 Nov 2020 – US corporate media have buried coverage of Julian Assange’s extradition hearing in the UK, despite its being the media “Trial of the Century”.

About ten to fifteen percent have slight to more serious symptoms, but do not need hospitalization – and the rest who may be hospitalized is above 75 or 80 years of age almost all of them with one to several comorbidities. Of those who die, most die from a medical pre-condition – coronary disease, diabetes, cancer – with “tested” covid-19, but not ‘from’ covid-19.

Robert J. Burrowes, Ph.D. – TRANSCEND Media Service,
9 Nov 2020
9 Nov 2020 – At a time in human history when so much is at stake, why is it so difficult to engage most people in anything resembling a thoughtful investigation, consideration and analysis of what is taking place? Why is it that more people do not question what they are told, what they read and what they are shown? In short, why is it that most people do not seek out the evidence for themselves rather than simply believing what is presented to them?

Robert J. Burrowes, Ph.D. – TRANSCEND Media Service,
28 Sep 2020
In the elegant words of South African liberation activist Steve Biko: “The most potent weapon of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed.” When he uttered these words before being tortured to death in an Apartheid prison, Biko presumably did not realize the profound meaning they would acquire in 2020. The transhuman mind will be owned and controlled by the oppressor. If we are to avert this fate, we must struggle with clarity and purpose.

What’s the Difference between ‘Villain’ Assange and ‘Intrepid’ Woodward?
Lee Camp | Consortium News - TRANSCEND Media Service,
28 Sep 2020
23 Sep 2020 – The completely fair super awesome trial of Julian Assange is a beautiful blend of the works of Kafka, Stalin and Joseph Heller. The next time you see a mainstream-media talking-head fawn over Woodward, just remember that if they had any backbone, any moral core, they would be fawning over Assange instead.

24 Sep 2020 – The World Wildlife Foundation, in collaboration with the Zoological Society of London, recently issued an eye-popping description of the forces of humanity versus life in nature, the Living Planet Report 2020, but the report should really be entitled the Dying Planet Report 2020 because that’s what’s happening in the real world.

Alan MacLeod | FAIR Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting – TRANSCEND Media Service,
28 Sep 2020
25 Sep 2020 – Labeled the media “trial of the century,” WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange’s extradition hearing is currently taking place in London—although you might not have heard if you’re relying solely on corporate media for news. If extradited, Assange faces 175 years in a Colorado supermax prison, often described as a “black site” on US soil.

So, if you feel you also may be going insane in the present climate of digital screen life, where real is unreal but realer than real, the apparent is cryptic, and up is down, true is false, and what you see you don’t, it has a history. One hundred and thirty-two years ago, Nietzsche added that “something extraordinarily nasty and evil is about to make its debut.” We know it did.

14 Sep 2020
11 Sep 2020 – The same bloated Tech/Data and Telecom Titans now gorging themselves on the corpses of our obliterated middle class are rapidly transforming America’s once proud democracy into a censorship and surveillance police state. They used the lockdown to accelerate construction of their 5G network of satellites, antennae, biometric facial recognition, and “track and trace” infrastructure that they will use to compel obedience and suppress dissent.

25 Aug 2020 – Intricate and extended fabrics of economic organizations that appropriate good part of the surplus generated by the productive effort of humanity proliferate in the world today. These fabrics have their epicenter in central countries but their tentacles reach every place in the world. They are able to leap on profitable opportunities as well as to retract with no losses when circumstances change. The case of the fabric articulated by BlackRock and its impacts.

14 Sep 2020
Why had the 1917 Revolution in Russia been followed by the defeats of the working class in Italy, China, Germany and Spain, to name only the most consequential of the political disasters? Why had the Great Depression—the greatest economic breakdown in the history of capitalism—led not to socialism, but, instead, to fascism and war? Why had the workers’ state founded on the basis of the October Revolution degenerated into a monstrous totalitarian regime?

L’arrivée au pouvoir de Jair Bolsonaro est loin d’être le produit d’un malheureux concours de circonstances. Sa victoire à l’élection présidentielle d’octobre 2018 est aussi le résultat d’une puissante lame de fond portée, entre autres, par l’essor spectaculaire des cultes évangéliques dans le pays à partir du dernier quart du 20e siècle. Implantées dans les quartiers populaires, désertés par les pouvoirs publics, leurs églises (pentecôtistes et néo-pentecôtistes principalement) se sont rapidement révélées être de redoutables instruments de socialisation et de propagande politiques au service des élites conservatrices.

The Umbrella People run a three-ring circus, and although their clowns pop out of separate tiny cars and, acting like enemies, squirt each other with water hoses to the audience’s delight, raucous laughter, and serious attentiveness, they are all part of the same show, working for the same bosses. Sadly, many people think this circus is the real world and that the clowns are not allied pimps serving the interests of their masters, but are real enemies.

Nonviolence versus Capitalism
Brian Martin | War Resisters’ International – TRANSCEND Media Service,
24 Aug 2020
Nonviolent action is the most promising method for moving beyond capitalism to a more humane social and economic system. Approaches based on using state power—including state socialism and socialist electoralism—have been tried and failed. Dramatic changes are definitely needed because capitalism, despite its undoubted strengths, continues to cause enormous suffering. Nonviolent action as an approach has the capacity to transform capitalism, though there are many obstacles involved.
