Nexus X HumectressBelieve it or not, Biden may win the election. Here’s why.
This is a fascinating discussion about a wide range of topics with much more substance that this dumbass election.
An Assessment of It’s Going Down’s Assessment
It’s Going Down throws in their two cents worth. Listen to their original podcast here. My assessment follows. By Keith Preston As for my assessment of the IGD podcast, I agree that if the election is close, what mainstream political scientists call a “constitutional crisis” is likely to […]
My Assessment of Trump: Law and Order Liberalism
He’s Tricky Dicky, redux. Only less Tricky. By Keith Preston I don’t spend a lot of time on Trump-bashing because TrumpHate, Inc. is a Fortune 500 corporation at this point. But my assessment of Trump is and always has been that Trump is a neo-Nixonian, a liberal Republican […]
Conspiracy Theorist or Complicity Theorist
“And now that the nightmare of our propaganda-soaked techno-fascist stage of late capitalism is finally visible to most (although surely more deadly to the poor), I have to ask the lockdown enthusiasts: What will it take?
DEAR CONSERVATIVES: We need to talk about “backing the blue”
What we essentially have going on now is a low-intensity civil war between neo-Nixonians and totalitarian humanists with the actual lumpenproletariat being a wild card that sometimes acts as a third force. Oh boy, here we go. Inb4 “libtard” comments, I am more anti-government than you. 🙂
An Insurrection or Controlled Opposition?
Actually, some of both. A social media commenter makes the following observation, although to be fair there have indeed been some burnings of police stations. “This is my problem with the mainstream western so-called ‘left’ these days. These white anarcho-kids can get masses of people out in the […]
Analyst of Totalitarianism—Reading Simon Leys Today
By David Adler Quillette Simon Leys was perhaps the pre-eminent Western chronicler of Mao’s Cultural Revolution, and it is worth returning to his work for its vivid first-hand accounts of life in Beijing during this period. But Leys was also interested in the process by which, under the […]
A Little Less Childishness, Please
A friend writes: “I don’t think I’ve experienced anything as mean spirited and WWE level moronic as our current Manichean political milieu. Herd/tribal mentality not only really does function as an equivalent to an actual brain lobotomy, but it also seems to bring out (with the help of […]
Breonna Taylor Grand Jury Audio Reveals Conflicting Accounts of Fatal Raid
Would a civilian get away with it? If not, then there is one law for the peasants and one for the king’s knights. By Will Wright, Nicholas Bogel-Burroughs and John Eligon New York Times Two very different accounts emerged on Friday from either side of an apartment door […]
The Conservative Trans Woman Who Went Undercover With Antifa in Portland
By Nancy Rommelman Reason Erin Smith was at a GOP election watch party at Twitter headquarters in San Francisco on November 8, 2016. For the one-time deputy vice chair of communications for the city Republication Party, it should have been a time of jubilation. “As soon as they […]
The Congealed Sludge of Human Ignorance
By Troy Southgate If I had a penny for each time that I’ve been forced to roll up my trouser legs and wade through the congealed sludge of human ignorance, I’d have accumulated a small fortune by now. Yesterday I had the unfortunate pleasure to witness a clip […]
Russia Could Never Discredit The US Empire The Way These Guys Just Did
By Caitlin Johnstone Medium Well. Wow. I mean, wow. So in case you missed it, the first US presidential debate was everything the US empire deserves and a fair reflection of everything the US empire is. If Vladimir Putin were every bit the election-meddling demon the Democrats say […]
NYT Prints STRAIGHT UP Propaganda Justifying Hong Kong Crackdown, Staffers Silent

Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti discuss the potential impacts of the President and First Lady testing positive for Coronavirus, especially this close to election day.
Marianne Williamson: America’s Cold Civil War
Marianne was my second favorite candidate in the primaries, after Tulsi. Liberal and left opinion regards Trump as an incipient fascist. Conservative and right-wing opinion regards Trump as an incipient Bolshevik. Both are focused on Biden’s obvious senility. Though I think all of these are missing some of […]
Voter Fraud Is Real—Here’s How Democrats Want to Steal the 2020 Election
It is certainly interesting that both parties are accusing the other of trying to steal the election. They’re both probably right. I suspect there will be violence associated with the election regardless of who the winner is. By Newt Gingrich Newsweek Make no mistake: Voter fraud is real. […]
War Crimes Committed by the Union
One thing that the supposedly anti-imperialist left has never come to terms with is that the Civil War was the cornerstone of the building of the American empire. By Stratton J. Davis While being perhaps the most famous war in America History, the Civil War is one of […]
Against Trump’s Coup & Fascist Boogaloo: Towards a General Strike
It’s Going Down. Correction: On the opening to this podcast, it states that Trump said “stand down and stand by,” which in reality Trump stated “stand back and stand by.” The first debate between the ruling corporate parties has now come and gone, with even the mainstream media […]
Unredacted FBI Document Sheds New Light on White Supremacist Infiltration of Law Enforcement
On the other hand, a lot of white supremacist groups probably wouldn’t exist without all the moles in their ranks who keep their membership going. By Alice Speri The Intercept The FBI has long been concerned about the infiltration of law enforcement by white supremacist groups and its […]
Biden and Trump Are Both Right on Antifa
If there is one truism about Americans, it is that Americans do everything half-assed. American fascists are half-assed fascists. American communists are half-assed communists. American religious fundamentalists are half-assed fundamentalists. American anarchists are half-assed anarchists. Groups like Antifa or BLM are rookie leaguers compared to insurrectionary groups in […]
Proud Boys, Black Lives Matter leaders hold joint conference: We ‘denounce White supremacy’
This is the worst nightmare of the ruling class, the far-left, and the far-right combined, which makes it a very good thing. By Jessica Chasmar Washington Times Local leaders of the right-wing group Proud Boys in Salt Lake City held a joint news conference with a local Black […]
Resisting Trump’s coup

Armenia and Azerbaijan’s leaders are resisting growing international pressure to end their conflict over the breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh.

Who Won The First 2020 Debate?!
If “winning” the freakshow of a debate means motivating more people to vote for you, then Biden probably “won.” “I’m a senile old fool but at least I’m not…him.”
Elijah McCain’s Last Words
Gun Ownership by State
CBS News Do you own a gun? Would you ever consider owning one? The United States is split into thirds on that subject. Just under 30% of American adults currently own a gun. A little more than a third say they might own one in the future, and the […]

Red-Brown Alliance or Crayola Alliance?

Who Won The Worst Presidential Debate In American History
Trump’s WWE experience definitely shows. And Biden is rapidly forgetting how to talk. Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti discuss the presidential debate as well as the impact it may have had, if any, on potential voters.
Forget prisons, the future of punishment will be virtual
By Tom Gash Wired Prisons have become the dominant symbol of punishment in modern democracies. But they are expensive and fundamentally don’t work. In 2020 we will be exploring ways to use technology to create virtual prisons that could eventually replace the bricks-and-mortar type. The opportunities, both for […]
11 ways to fix America’s fundamentally broken democracy
This article amounts to a plan to create a one-party state. Not that I would miss the Republicans if they were permanently marginalized, but shutting the right-wing out of the electoral process altogether is likely to generate some other less than pleasant consequences. By Ian Millhise Vox The […]

Rebranding Communism
Apparently, this is a meme that is circulating in commie circles with some saying it is brilliant branding and others saying, “Yikes! Nationalism!” LOL

Will Trump Actually Refuse To Leave If He Loses?
Trump can’t pull off a coup if the Deep State doesn’t back him which they clearly do not. If Mark Esper wouldn’t let him send troops out to suppress the insurrection, the military-industrial-complex is certainly not going to allow him to create a presidential dictatorship.
