Peace Congress Calls For Unity Around April 4 NATO Protests
By Kevin Zeese and Margaret Flowers. The Peace Congress, held in place of the
Trump Military Parade, brought together more than 100 people seeking to build a
more effective peace and justice movement to end the wars at home and abroad.
The Peace Congress celebrated their success in helping to stop the Trump
military parade and used the opportunity to come together to develop plans to
build the peace and anti-imperialist movement.

Billionaires, Not Voters, Are Deciding Elections
By Sonali Kolhatkar, Truthdig. The recent midterm elections offered an
opportunity for America’s moneyed elites to spend their ridiculous wealth on a
catalog of their favorite causes and candidates. We are locked in a vicious
cycle, where billionaires continue to amass wealth due to policies their
influence has bought, which in turn enrich them with even more resources with
which to shift the American polity in their favor. Part of the problem is that
billionaires’ control over our democracy is largely invisible. As a recent
study by The Guardian showed, high-profile wealthy elites like Warren Buffett
or Bill Gates are anomalies.

The DEA And ICE Are Hiding Surveillance Cameras In Streetlights
By Justin Rohrlich and Dave Gershgorn, Qz.com. The US Drug Enforcement
Administration (DEA) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have hidden
an undisclosed number of covert surveillance cameras inside streetlights around
the country, federal contracting documents reveal. According to government
procurement data, the DEA has paid a Houston, Texas company called Cowboy
Streetlight Concealments LLC roughly $22,000 since June 2018 for “video
recording and reproducing equipment.” ICE paid out about $28,000 to Cowboy
Streetlight Concealments over the same period of time.

US Border Patrol Agents Prone To Corruption
By Justin Rohrlich, Defenseone.com. Toward the end of September, Ramon Antonio
Monreal Rodriguez obtained $650,000 worth of cocaine from smugglers along the
Arizona border. The 32-year-old Tucsonian made two exchanges of drugs and money
over the course of two nights, and ensured 41 kilos of coke got into the US
from Mexico without any problems. Monreal and the traffickers met up at a
prearranged spot in a patch of desert near the San Gabriel Gate. Monreal knew
the area well. After all, he had been working in the vicinity since he joined
the US Border Patrol a decade earlier.

After A Visit From The Council, Anti-Gold-Mining Activists Say They Will Fight
Any Eviction Attempt
By Peadar O'Cearnaigh, Thecanary.co. Activists claim the official was not
initially forthcoming. They say they noticed a man arriving in a hurried
fashion in a white jeep. The man got out of his vehicle and then took photos of
the protest caravans. He then tried to leave very quickly. When activists
approached him, he identified himself as an official from the Fermanagh and
Omagh District Council’s planning office. Activists told The Canary the
official said he was taking photos to “build a file on the camp”. The official
informed them, they said, that the landowner might have to remove the camp, as
they don’t have planning permission for the...

UK Banks Refuse To Return Venezuela’s Gold
By Peter Korzun, Strategic-culture.org. Russia and Venezuela are among the
countries the EU, including Great Britain, has imposed sanctions on. Both
nations have been targets of London’s vigorous attacks, being blamed for
numerous nefarious things they have allegedly done. The UK insists that
everyone play by the rules. Meanwhile, London is making mockery of commonly
accepted norms in the international relations. The government of Venezuela is
seeking to eventually repatriate at least 14 tons of gold held at the Bank of
England (BOE). It has recently asked to release the gold bars worth about £420
million or $550 million.

Midterm Scoreboard Reveals Massive Pro-Israel Influence On Congressional
Candidates
By "If Americans Knew," Information Clearinghouse. A just-released Midterm
Elections Scoreboard shows that Israel partisans have dominated Congress over
the past 10 years, despite the preference of American voters, who consistently
wish evenhanded policies and feel the U.S. gives Israel too much money. The
detailed scoreboard on candidates for the Senate and House of Representatives*
shows that 28 pro-Israel PACs and numerous pro-Israel individuals have given
candidates millions of dollars in campaign contributions. There are currently
no pro-Palestine PACs (although one of the pro-Israel PACs supports some
Palestinian positions).

HBCU Scandals Don't Die, They Multiply
By Dominica Dunbar, Black Agenda Report. HBCU scandals don’t die, they multiply
like vultures stalking a starving child. Black misleaders prey on Black
students and faculty for their own advancement. Pretending they represent
autonomous Black institutions, independent values, and cooperative development,
they are, on the contrary, an embarrassment in how they wield respectability
politics to discipline Black youth for purported future success. These college
leaders openly preside over bankrupt educational standards, sexual impropriety,
theft of student’s financial aid, repression and misdirection of student
activists in pursuit...

Yemeni War Deaths Underestimated By Five To One
By Alisdare Hickson, Intrepidreport.com. In April, I made new estimates of the
death toll in America’s post-2001 wars in a three-part Intrepid Report series I
estimated that these wars have now killed several million people. I explained
that widely reported but much lower estimates of the numbers of combatants and
civilians killed were likely to be only one fifth to one twentieth of the true
numbers of people killed in U.S. war zones. Now one of the NGOs responsible for
understating war deaths in Yemen has acknowledged that it was underestimating
them by at least five to one, as I suggested in my report.

The Fight For Net Neutrality Heats Up As Democrats Take The House
By Mike Ludwig, Truthout. The fight to restore net neutrality is heating up in
the wake of the midterm elections. Every Democrat in the House of
Representatives who supports reversing the Trump administration’s decision to
repeal popular net neutrality rules has held on to their seat. House Democrats
also secured a majority in the lower chamber, setting the stage for a potential
showdown between Congress, the White House and the Republican-controlled
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) over how the government should regulate
powerful internet service providers (ISPs) like AT&T, Cox and Comcast.
