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.

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.

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 […]

The Hypocrisy of Antifa by Jonathan Turley…
The University of California in Berkeley was again the scene of violence recently, as protesters claimed license to silence those with whom they disagree. Their fight against “fascism” took the form of not just stopping a speech, but assaulting those who came to hear it. For those of us at universities and colleges…
Obama Team Was Warned in 2014 about Russian Interference…
The Obama administration received multiple warnings from national security officials between 2014 and 2016 that the Kremlin was ramping up its intelligence operations and building disinformation networks it could use to disrupt the U.S. political system, according to more than half a dozen current and former officials. As early as 2014, the administration…
