Revolts Against The Neoliberal World Order
By Kevin Zeese and Margaret Flowers. Protests against the US and big
finance-imposed neoliberal capitalism have exploded across the globe. Two weeks
ago, in Pink Tide Against US Domination Rising Again In Latin America, we
reviewed 12 Latin America nations that are rising up against privatization, the
cutting of social programs, soaring prices and low wages. In the last week,
mass protests in Chile and Bolivia have begun and Lebanon has widespread
protests against debt and austerity measures. The Nonaligned Movement, which is
critical of the use of illegal unilateral coercive measures by the United
States to force countries to...

Four Takeaways From US Trial Against Honduras President’s Brother
By Héctor Silva Ávalos and Parker Asmann, Insight Crime. The US drug trial
against the brother of Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández brought the
nexus between organized crime and political power to the forefront, undermining
the country’s purported role as an ally in the fight against corruption and
powerful drug trafficking groups. Over the course of the two-week trial that
ended with the conviction of former Honduran congressman Juan Antonio “Tony”
Hernández — the president’s brother — on drug and weapons charges, little doubt
remained about the importance his connections to political power and dirty...

Report: FBI Spying On Social Movements
By Rights and Dissent. The report exposes FBI political surveillance as
systemic and part of a wider pattern of abuse, and documents how the FBI
frequently cites its counterterrorism authorities when spying on non-violent
protest groups. It also documents how the groups targeted by the FBI are
frequently peace, racial justice, environmental, and economic justice
advocates. It’s part of a broader problem where the FBI treats dissent as the
enemy. And that’s not a new problem. As the report shows, from its inception
the FBI has continuously engaged in this type of political surveillance.

Chilean Military Learns Brutal Tactics From Israel
By Benjamin Zinevich, Independent. Chile - What started as a student act of
civil disobedience against Santiago’s rising metro fares has now expanded
outside the Chilean capital. In a sudden uprising against austerity and
persistent economic inequality, a proposed fare increase (the equivalent of
€0.02) was simply salt on an open wound for the poor and working-class citizens
of Chile. Peaceful protests, when forcibly dispersed by the national police,
have turned violent. The government, led by conservative billionaire President
Sebastián Piñera, responded by declaring a state of emergency and calling in
the military to ..

Ecuadorean President Moreno Accused Of Helping The CIA
By Sputnik News, translated by Resumen English. Former Foreign Minister of
Ecuador Ricardo Patiño has accused President Lenin Moreno of working for the
United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). “Moreno became a CIA insider
due to blackmailing… We are absolutely sure that while Moreno was in Geneva
(working as the United Nations Special Envoy on Disability and Accessibility),
he established a very close relationship with the CIA and the U.S.
Administration because they may have found his secret bank accounts in Panama,
opened by his brother to save money from corruption,” Patiño told Sputnik.

CBO Health Panel Packed With Experts Tied To Anti-Medicare For All Groups
By Donald Shaw, Sludge. One of the key steps in the federal legislative process
occurs when the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), an agency in the legislative
branch that studies the budgetary and economic impacts of proposed laws, scores
a bill. The scores can provide ammunition for advocates on either side of an
issue—if the CBO’s cost estimate comes back lower than expected, for example,
it can be a boon for a bill’s supporters, while a higher-than-expected score
can be a major asset for opponents. The CBO is supposed to be independent and
nonpartisan so it can be neutral on the merits of policies and...

Nonaligned Movement Meets In Azerbaijan
By Telesur English. Azerbaijan - At the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) Summit held
in Baku, Azerbaijan, on Friday, Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro lashed out
at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and announced that the U.S. economic
and financial aggressions are as lethal as its armies. The Bolivarian leader
said that "the new modes of international war are economic aggressions" against
the most vulnerable population groups, among which are children, women and the
elderly. "In the years to come, our movement must raise an alternative to the
inhuman, exclusionary and impoverishing model which the IMF and...

By Orinoco Tribune. Venezuela - “The communal councils serve more than 6
million 407 thousand 651 families representing more than 80% of the families of
Venezuela that participate in urban, rural or indigenous communal council.”
This was stated by the head of state and government, Nicolás Maduro, during the

Communes have been formed, organized and registered in Venezuela, “Commander

A Biased Algorithm Is Delaying Health Care For Black People
By Jessica Hamzelou, New Scientist. United States - Black people in the US may
be missing out on healthcare because a widely used algorithm is racially
biased. The proportion of black people referred for extra care would more than
double if the bias were removed, according to new research. Algorithms are fast
becoming a key part of healthcare. Such technologies are used to screen
somewhere between 100 and 200 million people in the US, says Ziad Obermeyer at
the University of California, Berkeley. One example is an algorithm that is
used to predict the future health of individuals based on their past health
records.

New Poll Finds Voters Strongly Oppose Employer Insurance
By Matt Bruenig, People's Policy Project. Many centrist pundits have convinced
themselves that Medicare for All (M4A) is unpopular because, when you include
certain details about M4A in polling questions, support levels drop
significantly. But in convincing themselves of this, centrist pundits seem
remarkably incurious about whether this same thing occurs for
employer-sponsored insurance (ESI) when you include certain details about it in
polling questions. Earlier this week, Emerson Polling helped answer this
question when it asked voters whether they support employers being allowed to
change or eliminate an employee’s..
