In a win for increased transparency and those demanding an end to the so-called “dark money” eating away at U.S. democracy, the Supreme Court on Tuesday lifted a previous stay on a lower court ruling by rejecting the argument by right-wing advocacy groups who said they should not have to reveal the identity of big-dollar […]
Press Needs to Restore Its Credibility on FBI and Justice Department…
I will never call the mainstream media “the enemy of the people.” But I will call them out for having strayed from fairly reporting some of the biggest stories of the last two years. No matter how egregious their errors, they insist on pointing fingers elsewhere and reinforcing their political biases, in ways unimaginable to […]
We Told You That Once the Establishment Silenced Assange, The Rest of the Media Would Be Next: We Were Right by Elizabeth Vos…
The Press Misses the Point Again by Lee Smith…
Israeli Intelligence Firm Targeted NGOs During Hungary’s Election Campaign…
The Israeli private intelligence firm Black Cube was involved in a campaign to discredit NGOs ahead of Hungary’s April election, according to a former Black Cube employee and a person with knowledge of the company’s inner workings. Between December 2017 and March 2018, Hungarian NGOs and individuals connected to American-Hungarian businessman George Soros were contacted […]
Trump Was Right. The Rest of the G7 Were Wrong…
He gets almost everything wrong. But last weekend Donald Trump got something right. To the horror of the other leaders of the rich world, he defended democracy against its detractors. Perhaps predictably, he has been universally condemned for it. His crime was to insist that the North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta) should have a […]
Can We Be Saved From Facebook? by Matt Taibbi…
We shouldn’t be asking Facebook to fix the problem. We should be fixing Facebook. It’s our collective misfortune that this perhaps silliest-in-history supercorporation – a tossed-off hookup site turned international cat-video vault turned Orwellian surveillance megavillain – has dragged us all to the very cliff edge of modern technological capitalism. We’ve reached a moment in […]
America’s Troll Farm Media…
Despite all the smoke and mirrors, most Americans seem to see where the stenographers of corporate capitalism are taking us. A recent Gallup poll found that while 84% of Americans see media as “critical” or “very important” to democracy, only 28% see the corporatist mainstream news media (MSM) as actually supporting democracy. They’re right on […]
The Problem is America: The Malignant Cultural Hegemony by Phil Butler…
What is wrong with the American people? After several years of horrific policy toward the waking world, democracy’s standard bearers seem to be drowning in a lake of selfishness. Distracted, apathetic, or simply dumbed and numbed by unrelenting propaganda, the most admired society on Earth has turned to a wriggling mush of diverging ideals. I […]
The Technocrats Want You to Believe Our World Is Too Complex for Democracy. Resist Them….
The incredible complexity of our modern world demands more politics and more democratic oversight, not less. There is no such thing as permanent progress in politics, only endless, depressing circularity. Democracy and freedom are inevitably vulnerable and temporary achievements; they are always questioned by the powerful and supposedly intelligent, and thus constantly at risk of […]
