@NatCounterPunch Almost time for levitating the Pentagon again -- and letting it drop hard. Abbie was too easy on 'em.

The long shadow of domestic fascism, defined as a project of racial and cultural cleansing, is with us once again. counterpunch.org/2023/04/11/fas…

@Thomas_Drake1 There's a remote possibility that when the smoke clears from RussiaGate we will discover that the IC and FBI had a hand in delivering Trump to office for the sole purpose of creating a Constitutional Crisis that sees the Bill of Rights suspended

We were warned on Trump & his type w/ their personal pathologies, gaslieing & “…projecting extreme self-confidence… that appeals to their followers, who tend to feel a deep emotional need for protection, connection, and identity” apple.news/AZnd679afTSe69… apple.news/AZnd679afTSe69…

@StellaMoris1 Dunno. I'm a Julian supporter, but this political artwork recalls the giant Kim family statue in Watch-Missiles-Go-By Square.

#Jorit's homage to Julian #Assange. Amazing. #FreeAssangeNOW

@Jonathan_K_Cook If only we could get such numbers out on the streets for Climate Change action, to stops wars, to save democracy.

Chomsky's comment on the functionary role of journalists is especially relevant at this moment of uniform eulogising of the Queen: 'I'm sure you believe everything you say. But what I'm saying is if you believed something different, you wouldn’t be sitting where you’re sitting'

@JeffreyStClair3 Damn, to think that DJ didn't find the time to upload the docs to Wikileaks! I'll bet we can figure out ho has them. Maybe Saudi Arabia, like the late not so great Duane Clarridge claimed. If the Middle East is nuked, will it all turn to a Land of Glass sculptures? Keith?

Olbermann sounds like he would have personally flipped the switch on the Rosenbergs...(There shouldn't be any "nuclear secrets," whether they're in the hands of the US govt or as ante in a poker game at Mar-a-Lago.)

@cjciaramella Hey, are you that whistleblower who got Trump in trouble?

@JeffreyStClair3 Looks like long-winded I-Ching to me. How appropriate the Mouth That Roared can't even do hexagrams without hamming it up.

You may have missed the equally enthralling story told in paragraphs 62 to 76....

@JeffreyStClair3 Let's just drop the gay bomb and let the chippendales fall where they may. Start in Ukraine.

Over to you, Glenn....

@JeffreyStClair3 Looks like a self-indulgent socialist to me. From Vermont.

The Pretender...

@JeffreyStClair3 Well, maybe that's who they were aiming for. Some animus for the draft-dodging. Fuckers.

There were dozens of Canadian students enrolled at Kent State at the time of shooting...

@JeffreyStClair3 I like his early stuff. The soundtrack to Dead Man was revealing. Ohio was none of biz, as he's Canadian.

@annakaharris @TEDTalks Annaka I would like to interview you for a magazine. Are you available? john.hawkins@outlook.com.au

TED is going to be producing a pilot for my audio doc series on consciousness! I’m thrilled to begin collaborating with the @TEDTalks podcast team on crafting a show out of my 30+ interviews. Stay tuned for further announcements…

@RalphNader Ralph, I love you to death, and when you die the world should weep to lose such an angel and knight errant. But, Sir Ralph, in Australia, you can pay the $10 fine, online, and not vote. (Hurts the poor only.) Plus, in America, more votes would mean more disenfranchisement.

Many people are worried about rightwing governors suppressing and harassing voters. But very few are publicizing the remedy—universal voting as a legal duty, as in Australia and several other countries. New book, 100% Democracy, makes this case. -R thenewpress.com/books/100-demo…

@Dannosphere @weischoice @studyhallxyz @WritersofColor What about an interview with Judy Gumbo: Yippie Girl. She's the lost link to the 60s. Was there with Abbie and Jerry. The Panthers. Chicgo 68.Fuck Nixon days. When she dies a little bit of all of us dies.

@KKretler @JeffreyStClair3 But great burgers!

@JeffreyStClair3 Holy cow.

Annual Compensation of the Top 30 Employees of The Nature Conservancy (based on tax filings for FY 2018) 1-14: $912,000, $738,000, $710,000, $628,000, $592,000, $538,000, $473,000, $467,000, $430,000, $419,000, $416,000, $411,000, $409,000, $404,000...

@JeffreyStClair3 Human nature conservancy, which has served us so well for so long.

@Snowden Let's cold cock the CIA!

Huge: CIA mass ("bulk") surveillance has been carried out “entirely outside the statutory framework, and without any judicial, congressional or even executive branch oversight. The nature and full extent was withheld even from the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence."

@BehrouzBoochani Sounds like the scam at Manus all over again.

Nauru detention centre operator makes $101m profit – at least $500,000 for each detainee
