Why are Police in the USA so Terrified?

 

In a recent incident in the United States, yet another unarmed man was shot dead by police after opening his front door in response to their knock. The police were going to serve an arrest warrant on a domestic violence suspect – the man’s neighbour – but went to the wrong address. See ‘Police kill innocent man while serving warrant at wrong address’.


For those who follow news in the United States, the routine killing of innocent civilians by the police has become a national crisis despite concerted attempts by political and legal authorities and the corporate media to obscure what is happening. See ‘Killed by Police’ and ‘The Counted: People killed by police in the US’.

Graduate students march on OSU Oval to #SaveGradEd from GOP tax bill

As House Republicans prepare for a vote on the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act this week, graduate students at universities across the country are organizing mass resistance under the hashtag #SaveGradEd. Many are engaging in political struggle for the first time.

On November 13, over 300 graduate students and supporters marched on the Oval at the Ohio State University to protest a provision in the GOP bill that would make tuition waivers taxable income for graduate students. Forbes contributor Ethan Seigel argues that the tax overhaul bill would destroy graduate education in the U.S.

Cancer is A Billion Dollar Industry

This article ends our series on cancer, the SECOND LARGEST KILLER in the U.S. As we stated earlier breast cancer is the number one cancer for women and prostate cancer is the number one cancer for most men, along with cancer being the NUMBER ONE killer of children and young adults under the age of 15 and 20. So don't think because I used the above picture for this article that cancer is an old person' disease -- it's not.    Cancer does not discriminate! It ravishes the body of the young and old, black and white, whether you are an athlete or a couch potato. ​​​​​​​Most people don't know anything about cancer, until it strikes them at home, with a family member, close friend, neighbor, or another close associate.   

America’s ‘Allies’ Are Setting Up Another Trap for US in the Middle East

Whatever their plans, the stakeholders in the Middle East must remember that clever plans to remake the Middle East have hitherto been remarkable for their inability to anticipate countermoves by opposing forces.

Tension is increasing all across the Middle East and the United States is again falling into a trap set up by its so-called allies to act against its own interests by getting deeply involved in what might turn out to be an escalating conflict. The recent victories by the Syrian Army and its Russian allies, which suggest that the active phase of the Syrian civil war will soon be drawing to a close, means that the perennial unrest in the region will be shifting gears and possibly leading to new conflict in areas that have until now been quiet. The lack of any real American policy for the region will enable the Saudis and Israelis, who have hegemonistic dreams of their own, to manipulate a casus belli, quite likely starting in Lebanon, where Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri recently resigned his office and fled to Saudi Arabia, claiming that he was fearing for his life due to his resistance to Iran’s influence over his country.

The Intelligence Community Flips Off America

James Angleton set the strategy in 1964.  “Jim would prefer to wait out the Commission,” as one CIA memo about Warren Commission inquiries put it.[1]  They are still doing that as well as running their propaganda campaign against anyone who questions the lone-nut theory, their “best truth” according to David Robarge.[2]

NABUCCO Opera Review

With its third production of the season at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion LA Opera remains on a roll. Giuseppe Verdi’s Nabucco is another eye-popping extravaganza, with director and designer Thaddeus Strassberger’s optically opulent sets that not only recreate and evoke ancient Jerusalem and Babylon during biblical times (like D.W. Griffith did for his 1916 masterpiece about man’s inhumanity to man, Intolerance), as well as simultaneously suggesting 19th century Italy. In particular, Milano’s famed Teatro alla Scala, where Nabucco premiered in 1842.

 

A New Armistice Day

Exactly at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, 99 years ago, people across Europe suddenly stopped shooting guns at each other. Up until that moment, they were killing and taking bullets, falling and screaming, moaning and dying. Then they stopped, on schedule. It wasn’t that they’d gotten tired or come to their senses. Both before and after 11 o’clock they were simply following orders. The Armistice agreement that ended World War I had set 11 o’clock as quitting time.

Will Alabama Voters Be Next to Reject 'Trumpism'?

Steve Bannon’s attempted fascist putsch in Virginia and New Jersey has failed.

Is Alabama next? Can the Democrats keep it from being stolen?

Tuesday’s gubernatorial elections in the Garden State and the state “for lovers” were soundly won by moderate Democrats. The elections were widely featured in the corporate media as referendums on Donald Trump.
