Bupkis. Six of the 10 wealthiest Americans alive today are heirs to fortunes passed on to them by wealthy ancestors. Others had the advantages that come with wealthy parents.

Elon Musk came from a family that reportedly owned shares of an emerald mine in southern Africa. Don’t fall for these three myths. Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.

by system failure   We can almost certainly conclude that the removal of Boris Johnson from the position of the UK prime minister came as a result of a counter-attack of the liberal globalist faction against the pro-Brexit faction in the capitalist civil war .   And it is almost certain that the utterly grotesque political figure of Liz Truss was a far more easy target for the anti-Brexit liberal capitalists. It took them only 45 days to overthrow her, making her the shortest serving Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Liberal capitalists proved that Truss-type politicians are a 'piece of cake' for them, especially when they decide to mobilize the global markets and their agents inside the Tories.   As George Monbiot reveals , Truss' policies shaped by lobby groups like the Institute of Economic Affairs, the TaxPayers' Alliance and the Adam Smith Institute. It seems that these are some key groups behind BrexitCentral website. And together, they form a network of rig

The covert pro-Western fake accounts identified by Twitter and Meta had ‘ created fake personas with GAN (Generative Adversarial Network-computer-generated) faces, posed as independent media outlets, leveraged memes and short-form videos, attempted to start hashtag campaigns, and launched online petitions ’. Through social media network mapping, the covert Twitter accounts were targeting Middle East audiences primarily in Iran (45%), Afghanistan, Iraq, and also Central Asia.

The pro-EU Renew party emerged from out of nowhere at the height of “Corbynmania,” pushing for a second Brexit referendum that led to the Labour leader’s demise. The intelligence backgrounds of Renew’s founders were kept under wraps – until now.   by Kit Klarenberg  Part 2 - A pro-EU party forms in the midst of “Corbynmania” In the immediate aftermath of his election as party leader in September 2015, a legion of Labour MPs, party grandees, journalists and pundits branded Corbyn “unelectable,” and unacceptably “radical.” Those establishment forces were blindsided when Britons voted to approve Brexit in June of 2016, setting the stage for a tumultuous General Election the following year. The results of that election were nothing short of extraordinary. After starting the campaign polling at just 25 percent, Corbyn ultimately captured 40 percent of ballots cast, coming within just 2,227 votes of victory. Having increased Labour’s share of the national vote by 10 percentage points from th

The Jimmy Dore Show   Former Italian Prime Minister Sergio Berlusconi was recently caught on an audio recording offering his unfiltered thoughts on the Ukraine situation, and the result has scandalized the European Union. Specifically, Berlusconi admitted that Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky and the Ukrainian government were responsible for the shelling in the Donbas that forced Putin’s hand, and led directly to the Russian invasion. These statements, of course, run counter to the dominant Western European narrative, and have led to widespread backpedaling, obfuscation and dissembling in an effort to put the genie released by Berlusconi back in the bottle.    Related:   Confirmed: US imperialists wanted to drag Russia into a war with Ukraine since at least 2019

US military forces have made preparations to enter Ukraine and fight alongside Kiev's troops against Russian forces amid soaring tensions between Russia and the US-led NATO alliance, according to a report. CBS News reported on Friday that the US Army's elite 101st Airborne Division would not hesitate to enter Ukraine should the ongoing conflict "escalate', triggering fighting between Russian and NATO forces. " In all, about 4,700 soldiers from the 101st Airborne's home base in Fort Campbell, Kentucky, have been deployed to reinforce NATO's eastern flank, " CBS added. The light infantry unit is trained to deploy within hours, ready to fight. The unit's commanders told CBS that the elite US forces were currently participating in a military drill in neighboring Romania and were prepared to cross into Ukraine if fighting in Ukraine extended to " NATO territory ". The US commanders noted that the objective of the Army's 101st Airborne Div

A record share of the nation’s wealth is in the hands of billionaires, who pay a lower tax rate than the average American. This is indefensible  by Robert Reich Part 3 - The second myth is the “free market” The ultra-rich claim they’re being rewarded by the impersonal market for creating and doing what people are willing to pay them for. The wages of other Americans have stagnated, they say, because most Americans are worth less in the market now that new technologies and globalization have made their jobs redundant. Baloney. Even if they’re being rewarded, there’s no reason why the “free market’ would reward vast multiples of what the rich were rewarded with decades ago. The market can induce great feats of invention and entrepreneurship with lures of hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars – not billions. As to the rest of us succumbing to labor-replacing globalization and labor-saving technologies, no other advanced nation has nearly the degree of inequality found in the U

Declassified Australia exposes and analyses a massive secret propaganda operation being run out of the US, that has been buried by Western media. by Peter Cronau   Part 2 - The massive Twitter-Meta dataset   The data analysed by Stanford-Graphika came after Twitter and Meta/Facebook in July and August 2022 removed two overlapping sets of fake accounts for violating their terms of service. The datasets appear to cover a series of covert campaigns over a period of almost five years rather than one homogeneous operation. The Twitter dataset covered 299,566 tweets by 146 accounts, while the Meta dataset focussed on 39 Facebook profiles and 26 Instagram accounts. Twitter said the accounts breached its policies on ‘ platform manipulation and spam, ’ while Meta said the assets on its platforms engaged in ‘ coordinated inauthentic behavior ’. The Stanford-Graphika report at one point tended to hose down the reach and influence of the fake accounts: ‘ The vast majority of [the hundreds of tho

The party’s youthful and little-known co-founder, Chris Coghlan, announced a bold pro-EU agenda centered on forcing a second Brexit referendum. Founded in the midst of a surge in popular support for the Labour Party under the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn, Renew arrived on the electoral scene at a time when the British establishment feared a genuine left-wing takeover of 10 Downing Street. While its launch initially attracted mockery from the press, with The Sunday Times describing it as a “ damp squib, ” Renew eventually played a decisive but hitherto

A record share of the nation’s wealth is in the hands of billionaires, who pay a lower tax rate than the average American. This is indefensible  by Robert Reich Part 2 - The first is trickle-down economics Billionaires (and their apologists) claim that their wealth trickles down to everyone else as they invest it and create jobs. Really? For more than 40 years, as wealth at the top has soared, almost nothing has trickled down. Adjusted for inflation, the median wage today is barely higher than it was four decades ago. Trump provided a giant tax cut to the wealthiest Americans, promising it would generate $4,000 increased income for everyone else. Did you receive it? In reality, the super-wealthy don’t create jobs or raise wages. Jobs are created when average working people earn enough money to buy all the goods and services they produce, pushing companies to hire more people and pay them higher wages.

Rank-and-file activists must learn the lessons laid out in the Forde report: there can be no appeasing those who are our class enemies. The left must wage a ruthless struggle against the right wing infiltrators in our movement, and fight to transform the trade unions into weapons for the working class. This means calling for the election of all full-time officials, accountable to members and subject to recall; for representatives to take only the salary of an average skilled worker; and for rank-and-file democracy and control over disputes.

by Jonathan Cook   Part 4 - Teflon Queen   And therein lies the rub. The Queen is dead. Long live the King! But King Charles III is not Queen Elizabeth II. The Queen had the advantage of ascending to the throne in a very different era, when the media avoided Royal scandals unless they were entirely unavoidable, such as when Edward VIII caused a constitutional crisis in 1936 by announcing his plan to marry an American “commoner”. With the arrival of 24-hour rolling news in the 1980s and the later advent of digital media, the Royals became just another celebrity family like the Kardashians. They were fair game for the paparazzi. Their scandals sold newspapers. Their indiscretions and feuds chimed with the period’s ever more salacious and incendiary soap opera plots on TV. But none of that dirt stuck to the Queen, even when recently it was revealed – to no consequence – that her officials had secretly and regularly rigged legislation to exempt her from the rules that applied to everyone e

A record share of the nation’s wealth is in the hands of billionaires, who pay a lower tax rate than the average American. This is indefensible  by Robert Reich Part 1 On Tuesday, the Congressional Budget Office released a study of trends in the distribution of family wealth between 1989 and 2019. Over those 30 years, the richest 1% of families increased their share of total national wealth from 27% to 34%. Families in the bottom half of the economy now hold a mere 2%. Meanwhile, a record share of the nation’s wealth remains in the hands of the nation’s billionaires, who are also paying a lower tax rate than the average American. How do the ultra-wealthy justify their wealth and their low tax rates? By using three myths – all of which are utter rubbish.
