The Latest Lies About Russia
David Swanson | dissidentvoice.org | 2021-03-21
Things that we now know are not actually true: Russia impacted the U.S. election results in 2016 or 2020. Russia hacked into U.S. election machines. The recent U.S. government report alleging election interference contained any evidence of anything. The report so much as alleged Russian involvement in the Biden-Ukraine-corruption story. Russia changed the GOP platform. …

Tanks, Tanks, Tanks: Biden-Era Neoliberalism and the Suffocation of Syria
Thomas Pulliam | realprogressives.org | 2021-03-21
"All for ourselves, and nothing for other people, seems, in every age of the world, to have been the vile maxim of the masters of mankind." | Adam Smith, Wealth of Nations | It's not difficult these days to find symbolism for America's culture built on violence and colonialism. Party to party, politician to politician, oligarch to oligarch, everything appears to be an illusion which harms the world the more we believe in it. It was just last January that Joe Biden illegally ordered a missile strike targeted towards Syrian soil. It was aimed at an Iranian-backed militia, and wound up killing at least…

We're Hurtling Toward Global Suicide
_____ | popularresistance.org | 2021-03-21
On January 13, one week before the inauguration of Joe Biden as the forty-sixth president of the United States and seven long days after the storming of the Capitol by an armed right-wing mob, it was easy enough to miss an article published in the journal Frontiers in Conservation Science, despite its eye-catching title: "Underestimating the Challenges of Avoiding a Ghastly Future." The headline was itself a train wreck: six dully innocuous words piling up in front of a modifier more suitable to a 1950s horror comic than a sober, academic journal. But there it was: The 17 scientists who co-wrote the article, the…

Green Passes and Dark Inequalities: the Push for COVID Immunity Passports
Binoy Kampmark | counterpunch.org | 2021-03-21
Sensible, ideal, wonderful — if you happen to be in the European Union. This is the air of confidence surrounding the March 17 proposal for a digital COVID immunity passport, or what is officially being called the Digital Green Certificate. The Digital Green Certificate is actually a bundle of three: vaccination certificates stating the brand…

Asians are good at math? Why dressing up racism as a compliment just doesn't add up
The Conversation | juancole.com | 2021-03-21
By Niral Shah | — The narrative that "Asians are good at math" is pervasive in the United States. Young children are aware of it. College students' academic performance can be affected by it. On the surface, the "Asians are good at math" narrative sounds like a compliment. After all, what's wrong with saying that …

Carbon Offsets Offer A Fantasy Of Capitalism Without Crises
_____ | popularresistance.org | 2021-03-21
Governments, companies and sometimes entire sectors are increasingly proposing to use carbon offsets in response to the deepening climate crisis. In theory, offsetting allows organisations to compensate for their own emissions by paying towards low-carbon projects elsewhere, but the practice has been mired in scientific problems and scandals, and it has been widely critiqued in the social sciences. | With the UK government now seeking to turn London into a global hub for the carbon offset trade, it's worth asking why it is still so prominent. My research on what I have called the fantasy of carbon offsetting help…

How America's Forever Wars and Interventions Fueled the Assault on the Capitol

B Kevin Tillman / TomDispatch Just about everyone was shocked by what happened at the Capitol building on January 6th.

There's Only One State Where Falling Behind On Rent Could Mean Jail Time
_____ | popularresistance.org | 2021-03-21
Arkansas state Rep. Nicole Clowney, D-Fayetteville, introduced a bill Thursday that would repeal the state's criminal "failure to vacate" statute. First enacted in 1901, the law allows landlords to seek criminal charges, which can result in jail time, for tenants who fall even a single day behind on rent and do not vacate a property within 10 days. Everywhere else in the U.S., evictions are exclusively a civil matter. | The legislation comes after a ProPublica and Arkansas Nonprofit News Network article in October revealed how criminal charges brought under the statute can snowball into arrest warrants and jail t…

Money Is Made Up
_____ | popularresistance.org | 2021-03-21
Have you ever noticed how online capitalism cultists who condescendingly tell socialists they "just don't understand economics" are always unable to lucidly defend their own understanding of economics? | If you've never pressed such a character to clearly and concisely explain what it is you "don't understand" using their own words, I highly recommend that you try it, because it's one of the funniest things in the world. If you keep interrogating them about each aspect of their belief system, demanding that they explain exactly what it is they know and how they know it, they will invariably end up getting frustra…

She did not expect attention from the police. | The actress and climate activist told HEATED on Tuesday that her much-publicized press conference to oppose the Line 3 tar sands pipeline was delayed because of an extended interaction with the Minnesota State Patrol.

In recent years, the United States has once again begun to face a reckoning over its history and practice of white supremacy.

Regenerative agriculture is a global farming revolution with rapid uptake and interest around the world. Five years ago hardly anyone had heard about it. It is in the news nearly everyday now.

Standing up to anti-Asian violence and the struggle for full equality
Fight Back | fightbacknews.org | 2021-03-21
San José, CA – For more than a year Asian Americans have seen a rising tide of violence aimed at individuals of Asian descent. Starting with a vicious knife attack on a father and his two sons, aged six and three years in Midland, Texas in March 2020 and now the murders of eight people, six of whom were Asian American women, near Atlanta, Georgia, thousands of attacks have been reported in the last year – and many more have not. | Modern violence against Asians goes back to the 1980s, when Vincent Chin was killed by two white Americans who blamed him for the rise of the Japanese auto industry, despite the fact th…

Unemployment myth and "Migrantization" of precarity
Claudia Spengler, Johanna Neuhauser | indybay.org | 2021-03-21
Involuntary unemployment is afflicted with many prejudices, which impute a supposed lack of motivation and utility to those affected. Although these prejudices are easy to refute, politicians and representatives of the media cling to the neoliberal notion of individual guilt in unemployment. Unemployment has primarily structural causes and thus requires the assumption of political responsibility.

Big Banks Make A Dangerous Bet On The World's Growing Demand For Food
_____ | popularresistance.org | 2021-03-20
As global banking giants and investment firms vow to divest from polluting energy companies, they're continuing to bankroll another major driver of the climate crisis: food and farming corporations that are responsible, directly or indirectly, for cutting down vast carbon-storing forests and spewing greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. | These agricultural investments, largely unnoticed and unchecked, represent a potentially catastrophic blind spot. | "Animal protein and even dairy is likely, and already has started to become, the new oil and gas," said Bruno Sarda, the former North America president of…

Animal Testing Is Useless for Determining COVID Vaccine Effectiveness in Humans

There have been concerted efforts on the part of primate researchers to convince the public and political leaders that more money and monkeys are needed for COVID-19 vaccine research.

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the research landscape with the emergence of platform trials. Platform trials are adaptive clinical trials in which patients with a single disease are randomly allocated to different treatments based on an algorithm to investigate whether various agents have clinical benefit.1 In The Lancet, the PRINCIPLE Trial Collaborative Group2 report no benefit of azithromycin compared with usual care (hazard ratio 1 ∑08, 95% Bayesian credibility interval 0 ∑95–1 ∑23) for suspected COVID-19 in older adults in the community.

[Perspectives] Human flourishing in a health-creating society
Nigel Crisp | thelancet.com | 2021-03-20
The way we think about health and health systems needs to reflect the realities of the society we live in. There is no going back to the world before COVID-19. And, more fundamentally, it is time to finally leave behind the mindsets and practices of 20th-century medicine. COVID-19 is still doing terrible damage. Many countries are in the grip of a second or third wave of infections–in some cases worse than the first. COVID-19 vaccines bring optimism, but access to them is unequal for low-income and middle-income countries.

[Correspondence] Undoing supremacy in global health will require more than decolonisation
Keerti Gedela | thelancet.com | 2021-03-20
I read with interest Seye Abimbola and Madhukar Pai's Perspective.1 It provides an enlightening and hopeful vision of decolonised global health detangled from supremacy in its many forms. However, it left me feeling that the vast mark that colonisation has left on society, politics, and system hierarchy within low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) has been less considered. Without paying due consideration to the challenges of supremacy and oppression within LMICs, we cannot realistically equalise global health and progress to ensure that it upholds health equity and social justice.

[Editorial] Myanmar's democracy and health on life support
The Lancet | thelancet.com | 2021-03-20
A violent political crisis in Myanmar is escalating, which begs for more international attention and action before further lives are lost, democratic and health systems collapse, and the health of the people is further imperilled. In a coup on Feb 1, 2021, the military seized control from the newly re-elected National League for Democracy (NLD) government. NLD leader Aung San Suu Kyi and President Win Myint were placed in military detention. A day later, pro-democracy protests against the military's seizure of power began.
