A misunderstanding of social media is driving media elites to keep pushing an easily disprovable stereotype by Keith A. Spencer Part 4 - The reactionary mind at work After reading all this, someone with a personal story of a (purported) Sanders supporter being cruel to them online might still object. The Bernie Bro is real! This anecdote proves it.  But to say " a single candidate's follower was mean, therefore I don't support this candidate's policies regardless of their actual political implications, " is a rhetorical fallacy. There are definitely individual assholes out there. Likewise, assholes can believe in good causes, and nice people can support terrible causes. It is a reactionary mistake to oppose a candidate — who represents a set of specific political positions poised to help or harm different social classes — on the basis of another's individual behavior.  That means that the normalization of the BernieBro also diminishes the e

Facebook isn’t the only Silicon Valley firm with partisan oversight of what we see: the bipartisan billionaire class and their security state have partnered with tech firms since the dawn of the internet to control the parameters of users’ thinking. by Morgan Artyukhina  Part 17 - Pentagon-Google cooperation Alphabet’s Eric Schmidt, too, is connected to the U.S. security state as well as to the Democratic Party, again proving that a cross-party link is established where the material interests of the billionaire class are shared. A man who joined the Google team early-on in 2001, by 2011 Schmidt was able to step down from Google’s Chief Executive Officer to be the Executive Chairman of its Board of Directors with a $100 million equity award. He maintained that position through the 2015 restructuring of Google into the holding company Alphabet, Inc., stepping down in 2017 only to become chairman of the Pentagon’s Defense Innovation Board, an advisory committee to the Secreta

globinfo freexchange Ο ειδικός γραμματέας διαχείρισης ιδιωτικού χρέους διέψευσε πανηγυρικά τους ισχυρισμούς κορυφαίων στελεχών του Μητσοτακικού καθεστώτος, που έχουν πάρει σβάρνα τα μίντια διαβεβαιώνοντας πως μόνο οι "στρατηγικοί κακοπληρωτές" θα μπουν στο στόχαστρο για τα κόκκινα δάνεια.  Όπως ανέφερε ξεκάθαρα, " δεν θα υπάρχει προστασία της πρώτης κατοικίας ... " και αυτό ισχύει και για τους " αποδεδειγμένα κατεστραμμένους ", όπως διευκρίνισε σε σχετική ερώτηση. Δηλαδή, ισχύει και γι'αυτούς που πράγματι αδυνατούν να αποπληρώσουν λόγω κρίσης και δεν ανήκουν στην κατηγορία των "στρατηγικών κακοπληρωτών."  Είπε επίσης ότι « Θα πρέπει να πτωχεύσει και ο εγγυητής αν δεν μπορεί να πληρώσει τα χρέη του οφειλέτη », ενώ « θα είναι πολύ μεγάλος ο αριθμός των πτωχευμένων πολιτών », μίλησε για χιλιάδες. Σε σχετική ερώτηση, ουσιαστικά συμφώνησε ότι πρόκειται για «εξόντωση» των οφειλετών, σκορπώντας αμηχανία ανάμεσα στους συντελεστές

The Grayzone The Grayzone editor Max Blumenthal speaks about the witch hunt against WikiLeaks publisher and political prisoner Julian Assange, and how billionaire-funded "human rights" and "press freedom" non-profit organizations have refused to support him.

Despite praise from the World Health Organization for its handling of the coronavirus, China has been derided by Western media and politicians alike over nearly every aspect of its response. by Alan Macleod Starting in Wuhan in December, the coronavirus outbreak has spread across China, infecting around 64,000 people and worrying the rest of the world. Fueling the panic, media have been printing alarmist scare stories and politicians peddling false information. One prominent example of this is Arkansas senator Tom Cotton, who claimed that the virus was actually developed by the Chinese government. Wuhan, he stated, “ has China’s only biosafety level-four super laboratory that works with the world’s most deadly pathogens to include, yes, coronavirus. ” He also claimed that the outbreak is “ worse than Chernobyl, ” referring to the 1986 nuclear meltdown in Ukraine. “ The Wuhan coronavirus is a catastrophe on the scale of Chernobyl for China, only Chernobyl was localized.

The Beat Bernie 2020 PAC is insisting on keeping its members’ and donors’ identities a secret, due to what they call “a credible fear of threats and backlash from ardent Bernie supporters. by Alan Macleod  A shadowy new PAC calling themselves the “Beat Bernie 2020” movement has launched what it calls a “ massive grassroots fundraising haul ” among citizens concerned that “ Bernie Sanders is creating irreparable division on the left that will create significant difficulties for the Party’s eventual nominee. ” The PAC claims that the Vermont senator is creating a “ with us or against us ” attitude, complaining there is now “ no grey area in between to have a real dialogue, ” – a strange complaint given that its only stated goal is to unequivocally prevent a Sanders nomination. The PAC alleges that Bernie has “ no real explanation for how he will implement any of his proposed changes ” and “ he doesn’t actually know what he’s doing. ” The group claims that their motives are pu

Silicon Valley billionaire Reid Hoffman funded the creation of ACRONYM, the group that sabotaged the Iowa caucus results, after bankrolling voter manipulation campaigns including the notorious online “false flag operation” in Alabama’s 2017 senate race. by Max Blumenthal Part 4 - Aiming to ‘mirror’ the tactics of Russia’s Internet Research Agency Following the 2018 midterm congressional election, Reid Hoffman and his henchman Dmitri Mehlhorn faced further scrutiny in national media, this time for operating a fake news-style organization called News for Democracy. This shady outfit managed an array of community Facebook pages initially focusing on sports, Christianity, patriotism, and other topics that were likely to generate interest from right-wing voters in swing states. Yet the seemingly locally-branded cultural pages took a decisively political turn as election night approached. After racking up millions of likes, News for Democracy slipped in ads for Democratic Se
