    ICE Killed Her Father. Now She's Speaking Out | Dissent in Bloom

    I haven't read the whole article from which this article gets its name. I think reading the title alone was more than enough, but I did read a bit further than that.

    Under Trump, the CIA is still covering up its Russiagate fraud | Aaron Mate

    The article from which this thread draws its title is mostly paywalled, but I think the non paywalled portion is still quite interesting.

    Israel's war with several middle eastern countries

    While I don't think that Israel has actually -declared- war on any other country, it's certainly -acting- like a country at war with various other middle eastern countries. From Palestine (if you agree that it's a country) to Lebanon, Syria and now Iran, Israel has certainly kept itself busy. I...

    Do Democrats Really Hate the Working Class? Of Course They Do, They Always Have, Now They're Saying it Loud and Proud. I've Got the Receipts.

    For years, we've watched the Democratic Party don its sanctimonious mask, preaching devotion to the working class and vowing to slay the dragons of power with righteous fervor, haven't we? It's an old song, and we've long since memorized the dissonance between their honeyed words and their...

    Did Zelensky squander Ukraine’s best chance for peace back in 2022?

    In the spring of 2022, Ukraine and Russia were reportedly on the verge of a peace agreement in Istanbul, but Zelensky chose to walk away. Now, three years later, with the country in ruins and the West growing weary, we find ourselves back at the point where everything could have concluded...

    A Crisis of Credibility [Controversy over RFK Jr.'s work]

    I know there are a -few- people here who question the Covid 19 vaccines, at least for children. John Leake, the author of this article I link to below is much more than simply -skeptical- of the Covid 19 vaccines, and it looks like he understands the feelings of people like me who think they...

    President Trump

    I thought it might be a good idea to make a thread on President Trump, seeing as how I definitely think he's a subject that's worth talking about, being the President of the United States.

    Another breakdown of negotiations?

    On April 23, Zelensky once again refused to negotiate with Russia, despite ongoing losses on the front lines. According to Trump, Ukraine is losing up to 5,000 people per week—a number that’s hard to dismiss. The continuation of the war without any attempts at diplomacy increases the pressure...

    Ellen Brown: McKinley or Lincoln? Tariffs vs. Greenbacks

    I've been following Ellen Brown for a while- she seems to focus exclusively on monetary policy and I've never found a flaw in her reasoning.
