Battlefield America: We’re Not In Mayberry Anymore

“We’re talking Blackhawk helicopters, machine guns, grenade launchers, battering rams, explosives, chemical sprays, body armor, night vision, rappelling gear, armored vehicles, and tanks.”

Police move in on a group of protesters throwing rocks at them in Milwaukee, Sunday, Aug. 14, 2016. Police said one person was shot at a Milwaukee protest on Sunday evening and officers used an armored vehicle to retrieve the injured victim during a second night of unrest over the police shooting of a black man.

America, you’ve been fooled again. While the nation has been distracted by a media maelstrom dominated by news of white supremacists, Powerball jackpots, Hurricane Harvey, and a Mayweather v. McGregor fight, the American Police State has been carving its own path of devastation and destruction through what’s left of the Constitution. We got

媒体如何忽视美国在拉卡的战争罪行，但谴责阿勒颇的解放

围绕叙利亚政府重新夺回阿勒颇的行动的“强烈抗议”是为了为西方政府，以色列和海湾君主国家长期以来所希望的军事干预提供借口。现在轮到Raqqa，但随着美国从天而降，同样的媒体耸了耸肩。

“ Antifa”如何反映“ Alt-Right”

这两个对立的团体拥护神圣的战争，他们大多由被公司资本主义的残酷抛在一边的人组成。他们的生活因经济苦难和社会边缘化而受挫，突然间充满了意义。他们坚持自己作为被压迫者的先锋队。他们向自己授予使用武力使他们定义为敌人的人沉默的权利。他们使愤怒成圣。当民主制停止运作时，他们被黑暗的，肾上腺素驱动的对抗冲动所感染，这种冲动发生在被剥夺权利的人中间。

Behind the rhetoric of the “alt-right” about white nativism and protecting American traditions, history and Christian values is the lust for violence. Behind the rhetoric of antifa, the Black Bloc and the so-called “alt-left” about capitalism, racism, state repression and corporate power is the same lust for violence. The two opposing groups,

With Enormous Harvey Damage, Naomi Klein Warns Against ‘Disaster Capitalism’ Redux

“The window for providing meaningful context and drawing important conclusions is short. We can’t afford to blow it,” she writes. “Talking honestly about what is fueling this era of serial disasters — even while they’re playing out in real time—isn’t disrespectful to the people on the front lines. In fact, it is the only way to truly honor their losses, and our last hope for preventing a future littered with countless more victims.”

Israel Threatens To Bomb Assad’s Presidential Palace

While Israel has for years played more of a quiet ‘long game’ in Syria outside the media spotlight: providing tacit support to al-Qaeda terrorists in Syria along its Golan border (in Netanyahu’s words to Putin: Israel prefers the “Sunni sphere” over “bringing in Shi’ites” which reflects a disturbing widely held view among Israeli officials that ISIS is the ‘lesser evil’) as well semi-regularly bombing select targets, its increased willingness to loudly and unreservedly voice its intentions to the world is the result new realities it appears unprepared to accept.
