Posted on by

“California Assemblymember Marc Levine (D) intends to introduce legislation to change school curricula to include the role of Russian hacking in the 2016 presidential election.  ‘Students need to understand how [President] Trump’s policies are colored by the way he rose to power,’ said Levine.   He says he will introduce the ‘Pravda Act of 2017’ within the next few weeks.  ‘We have a duty to history to make it remember the Kremlin’s decision to hand pick a candidate,’ said Levine.”

Glenn Greenwald: The Deep State Goes to War With Trump, As Democrats Cheer

Posted on by

“When it comes time to expose actual Trump corruption and criminality, who is going to believe the people and institutions who have demonstrated they are willing to endorse any assertions no matter how factually baseless, who deploy any journalistic tactic no matter how unreliable and removed from basic means of ensuring accuracy?”

Andrew Bacevich: How We Got Here

Posted on by

“To focus on the man himself rather than on the circumstances that produced him is to miss the significance of what has occurred.  Note, for example, that his mandate is almost entirely negative.  It centers on rejection: of globalization, of counterproductive military meddling, and of the post-Cold War cultural project.  Yet neither Trump nor any of his surrogates has offered a coherent alternative to the triad of themes providing the through line for the last quarter-century of American history.”

Obama, in eighth year at war, dropped 26,171 bombs in 2016

Posted on by

“While candidate Obama came to office pledging to end George W Bush’s wars, he leaves office having been at war longer than any president in US history. He is also the only president to serve two complete terms with the nation at war.  Looking back at President Obama’s legacy, the Council on Foreign Relation’s Micah Zenko added up the defense department’s data on airstrikes and made a startling revelation: in 2016 alone, the Obama administration dropped at least 26,171 bombs.  While most of these air attacks were in Syria and Iraq, US bombs also rained down on people in Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, Somalia and Pakistan. That’s seven majority-Muslim countries.”

More Americans support torture than Afghans, Iraqis and South Sudanese

Posted on by

“39 percent of the Americans who supported torture told the ICRC they ‘didn’t realize my country had agreed to ban torture’ as a signatory to the Geneva Conventions.  The ICRC study is not the first to establish Americans’ increasing tolerance for torture in recent years.  A Pew Research Center study in February found that 58 percent of Americans think the torture of suspected terrorists can be justified. Of 38 nations surveyed, only five countries have a higher tolerance for torturing suspected terrorists, the Pew study found: Uganda (78 percent), Lebanon (72 percent), Israel (62 percent), Kenya (62 percent) and Nigeria (61 percent).”

Trump Gets Behind Philippines Drug War Death Squads

Posted on by

“The Filipino strongman took office earlier this year with a promise to unleash mass murder on Philippine drug users and dealers, and he has lived up to that vow, leaving the streets running with the blood of more than 5,000 killed so far, either directly by his police, or in a more shadowy fashion by ‘vigilantes.’  Duterte’s bloody campaign has drawn scathing criticism from human rights groups, the United Nations, and the Obama administration, with Duterte responding to the latter by calling Obama a ‘son of a whore.’  But in his phone call with the Filipino strongman, Donald Trump was singing a different tune.”

Republicans, now in majority, turn to supporting $1 trillion budget deficit

Posted on by

“In a dramatic reversal, many members of the hard-line House Freedom Caucus said Thursday they are prepared later this month to support a budget measure that would explode the deficit and increase the public debt to more than $29.1 trillion by 2026, figures contained in the budget resolution itself.  [Rand Paul’s] floor speech attacking the budget measure for making no attempts at deficit reduction — it projects a $9 trillion increase in the debt by 2026 — was preempted by statements from Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.), Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), pledging to vote for the resolution anyway.”
