'Flowers For Moses Cemetery': Community Fights Desecration Of African Cemetery

By Popular Resistance. Bethesda, MD - Tucked behind a McDonalds on River Road,
a major thoroughfare, is a deep pit, the site of an African cemetery that is
being desecrated to build a self-storage facility. For four years, members of
the community and supporters, the Bethesda African Cemetery Coalition, have
been fighting to stop the commercial project and create a museum instead to
educate about the horrors that happened here. Today, over 100 people converged
at the construction site. They sang songs, held a ceremony to honor the dead
whose bodies are being desecrated and placed flowers on the fence surrounding
the...

In The Worst Of Times, The Billionaire Elite Plunder The Working Class

By Nick Baker, Counterpunch. Since March, more than 58 million people in the
U.S. have filed for unemployment. The Internal Revenue Service now predicts
that the U.S. economy will have almost 40 million fewer jobs in 2021 than they
predicted before the pandemic, as a result of the prolonged economic
depression. As it becomes widely recognized that the economy is not going to
“bounce right back” into full activity – even when coronavirus cases do
eventually decline – and that the current depression will continue for a long
time, companies are doing anything they can to drive their stock prices higher.

Over 100 Protesters, Legal Observers To Sue NYPD Over Violent Arrests

By Jake Offenhartz, Gothamist.  More than 100 protesters and legal observers
trapped by police in the NYPD’s violent ambush of a peaceful march in the Bronx
earlier this summer are now planning to sue the city, after Mayor Bill de
Blasio declined to discipline any of the officers involved in the mass arrest.
At least 107 people have filed notices of claim with the city indicating their
intent to sue over the police department’s actions in Mott Haven on June 4th,
Gothamist has learned. The bulk of the notices were delivered this week, which
marked 90 days since the night of the incident, the cutoff for initiating legal
action.

Fracking Company Made It Rain Toxic Water Upon New Mexico

By Dahr Jamail, Truthout. Penny Aucoin, her husband Carl Dee George, their son
Gideon and their daughter Skyler have had their lives devastated by the
fracking industry. There was no oil and gas infrastructure where they lived
when they moved to Carlsbad, New Mexico. But six years ago, during a massive
expansion of drilling across the Permian Basin that spans West Texas and
southeastern New Mexico — one of the most prolific oil and gas basins in the
United States — the drilling began. It was so loud they had to provide hearing
protection for Skyler. Then when the flaring commenced, dead birds began
literally falling out of the sky...

Scheer Intellience: The 1918 ‘Spanish Flu’ Was A US Export

By Robert Scheer, Scheerpost.com. Don’t say we weren’t warned.  As President
Trump’s subversion of science wreaks havoc with American society, the
reappearance on bestseller lists of John Barry’s 2004 classic work, “The Great
Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History,” is a reminder that
presidential irrationality is not unprecedented. On this week’s installment of
“Scheer Intelligence,” Barry joins host Robert Scheer to compare the two
pandemics and the United States’ response to each. Back in 1918, Woodrow Wilson
was deprived of the jingoism card played by Trump in labeling the current
worldwide scourge...

US' Theft Of Syrian Oil Has Very Little To Do With Money

By Steven Chovanec, Mintpress News. Near the end of July, one of the most
important recent developments in U.S. foreign policy was quietly disclosed
during a U.S. Senate hearing. Not surprisingly, hardly anybody talked about it
and most are still completely unaware that it happened. Answering questions
from Senator Lindsey Graham, Secretary of State Pompeo confirmed that the State
Department had awarded an American company, Delta Crescent Energy, with a
contract to begin extracting oil in northeast Syria. The area is nominally
controlled by the Kurds, yet their military force, the Syrian Democratic
Forces...

Germany: Extreme Right Marches Under Anti-Lockdown Banner

By Hans-Gerd Öfinger, Der Funke. The large Berlin demonstration and rally
against the federal government's corona policy on August 29 was a moral victory
for the right and neo-Nazis. Pictures of fascists occupying the stairs to the
Reichstag building with the Reichsflag (symbol of the empire overthrown by the
revolution in 1918 and the Nazi dictatorship 1933-45) are circulating around
the world and trigger alarms, especially among anti-fascists. Such symbolic
images also serve to weld the right scene together. After all, more members of
the extreme right are likely to have marched through the federal capital
unified and unmolested on...

Mass Surveillance Program Revealed By Snowden Was Illegal

By Raphael Satter, Reuters. Seven years after former National Security Agency
contractor Edward Snowden blew the whistle on the mass surveillance of
Americans’ telephone records, an appeals court has found the program was
unlawful — and that the U.S. intelligence leaders who publicly defended it were
not telling the truth. In a ruling handed down on Wednesday, the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the Ninth Circuit said the warrantless telephone dragnet that
secretly collected millions of Americans’ telephone records violated the
Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and may well have been unconstitutional.

Portland Protest Killing Suspect Acted In Self Defense, Murdered During Arrest

By Vice News. Ever since a member of the right-wing “Patriot Prayer” group was
shot and killed during a violent rally in downtown Portland August 29, the
police investigation has reportedly focused on 48-year-old Michael Forest
Reinoehl, an Army veteran and father of two who has provided what he called
“security” at Black Lives Matter protests. The Wall Steet Journal reported
earlier that Reinoehl was a person of interest in the killing of Aaron “Jay”
Danielson, who was taking part in a massive pro-Trump caravan that began in
Clackamas earlier in the day.

The Stage Is Set for A Venezuela October Surprise

By Leo Flores, Popular Resistance. The hybrid war against Venezuela is
intensifying as the U.S. presidential campaign is heating up. The Trump
administration and its Venezuelan and international allies have set the stage
for an October surprise, a possible attack by the United States or one of its
proxies designed to boost President Trump’s reelection. The attacks on
Venezuela are coming from multiple dimensions, including overt military
pressure, economic pressure, covert operations, and disinformation campaigns.
All of these are elements of a hybrid war that has sought to overthrow the
government of President Nicolás Maduro over...

Black-Led Resistance Movements Are Paving The Way For Reparations

By Sarah Freeman-Woolpert, Waging Nonviolence. Months after the police killing
of George Floyd sparked racial justice protests around the world, Black Lives
Matter activists are once again flooding the streets — this time in response to
the recent police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Among the
demands that continue to ring out is the call for reparations, or payment to
people of African descent. Several African countries — including Namibia,
Burundi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo — have also joined the call,
demanding reparations from European countries for the perpetration of
genocide...
