Ron Unz Explains What China Should Do
Ron Unz Explains What China Should Do
“Adelson’s fortune of $33 billion ranks him as the 15th wealthiest man in America, and the bulk of his fortune is based on his ownership of extremely lucrative gambling casinos in Macau, China.

I very much doubt that they are fully aware of this enormous, untapped source of political leverage.” -
A Right-Wing Judge In Texas Just Moved Up The Timetable For Medicare-For-All
When John Conyers introduced the 2017 version of the Medicare for All bill in the House, H.R. 676, there were 51 original cosponsors. Last week, the bill got it's 124th co-sponsor, Brenda Jones from Detroit, Conyers' old seat, which she will hold until the expiration of his seat at the end of the month.

History Is Written By The Winners

CONNECT THE DOTS: Crack Cocaine, Contras and the CIA
In 1996, investigative journalist Gary Webb discovered links between Nicaragua’s Contra rebels and the CIA’s cocaine drug-running operation in the 1980’s. Webb wrote the Dark Alliance series for the San Jose Mercury News which exposed the CIA’s Contra rebels cocaine shipping into the US, which ended up as crack cocaine flooding cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco – and with the proceeds from the sales of those drugs being funneled back to fund the Contra militants.

Midnight Meme Of The Day!
by NoahOf course, Jared may still be hiding out in Canada or on his way to Saudi Arabia to ask for asylum. In a just world, they'd put Jared in a steel cage upon arrival.

The Strait of Kerch, a location that is not often mentioned in the Middle Eastern media – or social media – has become rather more familiar in that region since Ukrainian ships recently entered Russian territorial waters in the Black Sea.
In the Arab world a number of journalists have discussed the incident: they have tended to treat the two sides as equals and have focused on the military aspects rather than on the background and the reasons for what has happened. -

Weaponizing Humanitarian Aid
Long ago, US foreign aid programs honored the principle that humanitarian aid should be treated separately from economic and military assistance to governments.
