September 18: Julian Assange Hearing Report
By Defend Wikileaks. New Zealand investigative journalist Nicky Hager took
to stand to testify about using WikiLeaks documents in his work. Hager
published Other People’s Wars, New Zealand in Afghanistan, Iraq and the war
on terror, and said that WikiLeaks-released military and diplomatic files
“greatly increased my understanding of the conduct of the war. It would have
been impossible to write the book without these confidential and leaked
sources.” In his written testimony, Hager explained, “It is in general
impossible to research and write about war to a useful standard without
access to sources that the authorities...

Day 12: Julian Assange Hearing
By Craig Murray. Yet another shocking example of abuse of court procedure
unfolded on Wednesday. James Lewis QC for the prosecution had been permitted
gratuitously to read to two previous witnesses with zero connection to this
claim, an extract from a book by Luke Harding and David Leigh in which
Harding claims that at a dinner at El Moro Restaurant Julian Assange had
stated he did not care if US informants were killed, because they were
traitors who deserved what was coming to them. This morning giving evidence
was John Goetz, now Chief Investigations Editor of NDR (German public TV),
then of Der Spiegel.

Labor Must Make Defense Of Black Lives Its Own Imperative
By King Downing and Frances Madeson, Black Agenda Report. Black trade
unionists across the U.S. are calling on the labor movement to defend Black
Lives Matter protesters and to fight racism in their own ranks. The attacks
by police and increasingly violent armed racist militias evoke the memory of
many such violent incidents against Black people in earlier periods, from
slavery to segregation to the civil rights era. For Labor Day 2020, Truthout
reached out to Christopher Silvera, secretary-treasurer of Teamsters Local
808 in Long Island City, NY; Elise Bryant, executive director of Labor
Heritage Foundation and president of the Communication Workers of America’s
Coalition...

For the Planet, There Is No “Lesser Evil”
By Nathaniel Flakin, Left Voice. By now, most people in the United States
recognize that the climate crisis poses the greatest threat to humanity and
nature. Faced with a president who continually dismisses the dangers of
global warming and has taken numerous measures to expand fossil fuel
production, many progressives and even some on the Left have declared the
need to vote for Biden as the “lesser evil” in November. Noam Chomsky went
so far as to label the Republicans “the most dangerous organization in human
history” because of Trump’s aggressive pro-fossil fuel agenda.

New Fossil Fuel Projects Meet Indigenous Resistance
By Randall Hyman, Truthout. New Mexico - The spicy pungency of sagebrush
filled the air in Greater Chaco, New Mexico, in late July this summer as I
watched towering, rain-laden clouds gather across the endless horizon — a
reminder that the midsummer monsoon season would soon turn the dirt roads
that snake across the Navajo Nation reservation into quagmires. Locals are
accustomed to these storms, but this region is now also being pummeled by
two other tempests — the COVID-19 pandemic, which has hit the Navajo Nation
hard, especially due to many residents’ difficulty in accessing clean water,
and also the tumult of...

Kafka On Acid: The Trial Of Julian Assange
By Felicity Ruby, Arena Online. Julian Assange needs to wake before dawn to
get from Belmarsh Prison to the Old Bailey courthouse, where his extradition
hearing resumed on 7 September, for four weeks. He gets dressed for court
only to be strip-searched before being placed in a ventilated coffin Serco
van for a 90-minute trip across London in peak-hour traffic. After waiting
handcuffed in the holding cells, he is placed in a glass box at the back of
the courtroom. Then he is forced back into the Serco van to be
strip-searched back at Belmarsh to face another night alone in his cell.

The Super-Rich Are Raking In Billions
By David Cay Johnson, DC Report. If you are in the 99% here is how well you
are faring under Trump policies compared to the 1%: for each dollar of
increased income that you earned in 2018, each One-Percenter got $88 more
income. Huge as that ratio is, it’s small change compared to the super-rich,
the 0.01% of Americans with incomes of $10 million and up. That ratio is $1
for you and $2,215 for each super-rich American household. Let’s call them
the Platinum-Premiere-Point-Zero-One-Percenters The slice of American income
pie going to the poor shrank under Trump by the same amount that it grew for
the super-rich. Ponder that.

Mainstream US Reporters Silent About Being Spied On
By Max Blumenthal, The Grayzone. A Spanish security firm apparently
contracted by US intelligence to carry out a campaign of black operations
against Julian Assange and his associates spied on several US reporters
including Ellen Nakashima, the top national security reporter of the
Washington Post, and Lowell Bergman, a New York Times and PBS veteran. To
date, Nakashima and her employers at the Washington Post have said nothing
about the flagrant assault on their constitutional rights by UC Global, the
security company in charge of Ecuadorian embassy in London, which seemingly
operated under the watch of the...

Venezuela: The 2016-2020 National Assembly – Part Of The Plan
By Pasqualina Curcio, Resumen English. It’s hard to decide which of all the
actions of the Venezuelan opposition representatives was the most shameful.
Was it Ramos Allup giving the legitimate elected President Nicolas Madura a
6-month deadline to leave office while removing the portraits of Simon
Bolivar and of Comandante Chavez from the Federal Capitol? Or Julio Borges
spreading letters throughout the world in which he called for an increase in
the economic blockade against the Venezuelan people while he labeled us a
plague in the region?

Venezuela Foils CIA Terror Plot; Pompeo On Regime Change Tour
By Alan Macleod, Mintpress News. Venezuela’s government has announced it has
foiled a potential terror attack, arresting a former CIA operative while he
was on a stakeout near the country’s largest oil refining facility. Matthew
John Heath was arrested with three other Venezuelans outside the Amuay and
Cardon refineries in Falcon state in the west of the country, reportedly
carrying a submachine gun, a grenade launcher, four blocks of C4 explosives,
a satellite phone, and stacks of U.S. dollars. He has been charged with
terrorism and weapons trafficking.

New Report: Private Health Insurers Overpay Hospitals
By the Rand Corporation. Prices paid to hospitals nationally during 2018 by
privately insured patients averaged 247% of what Medicare would have paid,
with wide variation in prices among states, according to a new RAND
Corporation study. Some states (Arkansas, Michigan, and Rhode Island) had
relative prices under 200% of Medicare, while other states (Florida,
Tennessee, Alaska, West Virginia, and South Carolina) had relative prices
that were above 325% of Medicare. The study notes a steady increase in
hospital prices, rising to the 2018 average level from an average of 224% of
Medicare costs in 2016 and 230% of Medicare costs in 2017.

‘Extreme Option: Overthrow Allende’
By Peter Kornbluh, Portside. Washington, DC - On September 15, 1970, during
a twenty-minute meeting in the Oval Office between 3:25 pm and 3:45 pm,
President Richard Nixon ordered the CIA to foment a military coup in Chile.
According to handwritten notes taken by CIA Director Richard Helms, Nixon
issued explicit instructions to prevent the newly elected president of
Chile, Salvador Allende, from being inaugurated in November—or to create
conditions to overthrow him if he did assume the presidency. “1 in 10
chance, perhaps, but save Chile.”
