Nexus X HumectressThey say that like it’s a bad thing. If only it were true. One of the reasons the Swiss system (which is theoretically similar) has been more successful than ours is because it doesn’t have a presidential system. Their executive branch is merely a council appointed by the […]
Donald Milhous Trump. I’ve always thought Trump resembled nothing quite so much as the Nixon, Nelson Rockefeller, Spiro Agnew, etc. Republicans from the 70s. He’s not the supply-side dogmatist that emerged during the 80s, and his foreign policy approach is more in the vein of Kissinger’s Machiavellian realism […]
The Washington Post has long been known in “foreign policy dissident” circles as the “voice of CIA.” The WaPo is now owned by Bezos which indicates that an alliance has formed between the Deep State and the techno-oligarchs (the rising wing of the ruling class, gradually eclipsing the […]
A far-left vs. alt-right debate. Breakout the popcorn.
Joseph Cotto and I discuss the totalitarian left.
As I said in the previous post, current events are no skin off the ass of the ruling class whatsoever. If the stock market is soaring, they’re happy. My guess is that the power elite probably sees the insurrection as an exaggerated sports riot, as opposed to a […]
From a purely factual perspective, Trump is correct that what is going on now is a class-based insurrection, and not merely a protest movement, a series of riots, or a crime wave. From a purely legal perspective, the 1807 Insurrection Act does indeed give the President the authority […]
The original medical examiner lied to cover up for the Minneapolis pigs. Krystal and Saagar discuss remarks from Dr. Michael Baden, who said George Floyd was dead ‘many minutes’ before he was transferred to hospital.
It’s interesting how en vogue anti-capitalism has now become on both the left and right. On the margins, we see the Antifas carrying a hammer and sickle flag, and the Alt-Right becoming Nazbols. In the mainstream, we see the rise of social democrats like Sanders and AOC on […]
I wonder if this article was written before or after the results of the independent autopsy came out, and essentially revealed that the initial autopsy was part of the coverup. I also wonder if this guy ever thought he would become the most hated man in the world […]
This was recording before the results of the independent autopsy were revealed. Also, at the time I mistakenly thought George Floyd had been accused of forging a check as opposed to passing a $20. The Mindcrime Liberty Show is joined by Keith Preston to discuss the details around […]
As the de facto voice of the MAGAs, Tucker Carlson’s George Wallace-like commentary is predictable. Regrettably, many MAGA-types have too many cultural, psychological, and other barriers to view the insurrection in any context other than “those people are causing trouble.” The lamentable limitations of Carlson’s fans were summarized […]
Patrick Underwood has been identified as the Federal Protective Service officer who was shot and killed Friday night, the family confirms to ABC7 News. Officials say he was watching over the George Floyd protest in Oakland and police say it was most likely a targeted attack.
Hiding in their gated mansions with their private security forces, of course. CNN’s Don Lemon calls celebrities of all races to step up a show public support for protesters demonstrating against the death of George Floyd.
When the troops start defecting, the ruling class is in deep shit. Genesee County Sheriff Chris Swanson spoke with demonstrators who were met by police officers in riot gear and then joined the protest, according to CNN affiliate WEYI.
Good job, Justin. In the Ottoman Empire, murder was literally legal for someone who held the rank of sultan. “Qualified immunity” serves the same purpose for cops in the US Empire. By David Morgan Reuters WASHINGTON (Reuters) – With cities across America in turmoil over the death of […]
The question is: Why are we simply obligated to take this shit? On August 30, 2010, John T. Williams, a Native American woodcarver, was walking across the street carrying his carving knife and a small piece of wood when he was shot four times by Officer Ian Birk […]
It’s rather ironic that the supposed social democratic utopia of Sweden has adopted the anti-lockdowners’ preferred laissez-faire approach to COVID-19.
I oppose random violence against other individuals, interracial violence, attacks on ordinary journalists, and the destruction of residences, small businesses, places of worship, and historic landmarks or architecture. But as for corporate retail and fast-food chains (modern sweatshops), police precincts (enemy military bases), courthouses (civilian headquarters of the […]
This is an interesting discussion at times, although the Jacobin boys show their statism at times.
It looks like we’re getting all of the above.
I have to agree with Trump that the attack on CNN’s headquarters was fantastic. Fuck the propaganda arm of the neoliberal class.
Of course. It’s one of the oldest tricks in the book.
By Sean Collins Vox The protests that have risen up in many cities in the United States over the past week were sparked by the killing of an unarmed black man, George Floyd, by now-fired police officers in Minneapolis. Even though one former officer, Derek Chauvin, has been […]
The battle between techno-oligarchs and the mouthpieces for the right-wing of the ruling class continues. Matt Gaetz has the look of a probable incel. By Justine Coleman MSN.Com Twitter has restricted a Monday tweet from Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), saying it glorifies violence, a move that comes after […]
Next up: Antifa poses as “boogaloos”? I am frequently asked by “extremists” of all kinds why I don’t reflexively take “their side” in whatever dumbass cause they’re promoting (“Get off the fence, man!”). The answer is because none of them would create a better society than the one […]
Fragmentation seems to be taking place within the ranks of the state, ruling class, and state security forces. Municipal police forces and municipal governments are turning on each other. The Trump administration and the state governors are having a falling out. Some police are joining the protests. Trump […]
“Don’t give the game away too soon, Donnie. Keep the cards closer to your vest,” said the Pentagon. This is why the Deep State dislikes Trump so much. He’s too much of loose cannon. By Barbara Starr, Ryan Browne and Nicole Gaouette, CNN Washington (CNN)Defense officials tell CNN […]
The eventual overthrow of the state (not that we are anywhere remotely approaching that) will depend, in part, on the defection, acquiescence, or fragmentation of large numbers of the state security forces. That was the only thing that prevented a KGB/Red Army coup in the former USSR in […]
By Hollie Silverman CNN (CNN)Americans have been protesting the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police for days on end in dozens of cities throughout the United States. While tensions between police and demonstrators have heated up in many places, some officers have shown […]
By Benjamin Wallace-Wells The New Yorker I lived in Baltimore during the Freddie Gray protests in April, 2015. My apartment was in a brownstone next to a small park in a pretty neighborhood called Bolton Hill, which sits on the border between downtown and the West Baltimore neighborhoods […]
How the Empire was formed.

Francis Pakes The Conversation Iceland is a small country tucked away on the edge of Europe. It has a population of only about 340,000 people. Iceland’s prisons are small too. There are only five, altogether housing fewer than 200 prisoners. Of these five, two are open prisons. I […]
ABC News As protests over the killing of George Floyd roil the nation, journalists covering the news have been indiscriminately arrested, tear gassed or shot with rubber bullets by local law enforcement — at times even live on air. The U.S. Press Freedom Tracker, an advocacy and research […]
Babylon Bee once again reveals itself to be one of the most accurate journalistic outlets.
This happened a block away from me. I could smell the tear gas and saw waves of people running down the street escaping the scene. Was at the protest (on monument in Richmond) – was peaceful. And all the sudden out of nowhere at 7:35 (not 8 when […]
Anyone into fringe politics should oppose this. A “right-wing” administration will target the Antifa, and then a “left-wing” administration will target “alt-right/lite” groups, and then the cycle will repeat.
This could set a dangerous precedent.
Even Sean Hannity isn’t going to bat for the pigs who killed George Floyd. Forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden’s independent autopsy finds that George Floyd died by homicide caused by asphyxia.
By Jon Parton Courthouse News Service (CN) — As Minneapolis underwent a fourth night of protests over the death of George Floyd, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz said Saturday that most rioters arrested are from outside of the city and sought to take advantage of the chaos.
There’s some pretty hard-core riot footage in this.
Kim predictably nails. What we are experiencing right now is a class-based insurrection against an authoritarian state. The ruling class media (the new clerisy) is trying to deflect attention from that by fueling political/racial/cultural divisions.
There is some pretty hard-core footage of police brutality in this. Apparently, the cops at a police station in Cincinnatti took down the US flag and put up a “thin blue line” flag. Fourth-generation warfare and tribalism have arrived.
They are. And it’s hilarious. By Colin A. Young Metrowest Daily News After a weekend that saw police clash with demonstrators across the country and in downtown Boston, President Donald Trump told governors on a conference call Monday morning that many of them are “weak” and need to […]
The big question is how will the state hit back when the dust clears? Journalist Zaid Jilani compares the looting in the U.S. to the looting that took place in Baghdad after the Iraqi army was disbanded by the Bush administration.
