Close The Workhouse Campaign To Stop The War Against Black People
By Close the Workhouse Campaign. The Close the Workhouse campaign aims to
attack mass incarceration, without legitimizing or justifying the continued
caging of people as punishment. We call for the closure of the Medium Security
Institute, better known in St. Louis as the Workhouse, an end to wealth based
pretrial detention, and the reinvestment of the money used to cage poor people
and Black people into rebuilding the most impacted neighborhoods in this
region. The Workhouse is part and parcel of a racist and predatory system of
mass incarceration that grew directly out of slavery and Jim Crow and works
to...

Taking Next Steps For Nuclear Abolition
By Kathy Kelly, Voices for Creative Nonviolence. A recent op-ed in the New York
Times suggests the Kings Bay Plowshares 7 message is entering public discourse.
The defendants have clarified that the U.S. nuclear weapon arsenal robs
resources desperately needed for food, shelter, health care and education. The
New York Times notes if we could reach a total nuclear weapons ban, we could
save roughly $43 billion each year on weapons, delivery systems and upgrades.
“That’s roughly the same amount we’ve allocated in federal hurricane aid for
Puerto Rico.” Marianne laments the madness which considers nuclear weapons a

Free Honduran Political Prisoners, Stop Criminalization Of Social Movements
By Honduras Solidarity Network. On October 18th, 2019, Antonio “Tony”
Hernández, brother of Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández was found
guilty of drug trafficking charges by a jury in the Southern District Court of
New York. While the evidence and testimony of the trial implicate the Honduran
president and other high officials of the Honduran government in
“state-sponsored drug trafficking”, obstruction of justice, severe abuses of
power, and violence, the Honduran regime has criminalized activists and
everyone that is opposed to Juan Orlando’s administration.

The Democrats’ Medicare Debate Overlooks The Elder Care Crisis
By Steve Quick, Inequality.org. Once again, the Democratic primary debate on
October 15 devoted considerable time to candidates’ competing proposals for
expanding access to Medicare. But once again, the debate failed to address one
of Medicare’s biggest flaws — the lack of long-term care coverage for our
country’s rapidly growing elderly population. Some of the candidates’ Medicare
proposals would go a long way towards fixing this problem, while others would
not. But since this critical issue didn’t come up, the debate did nothing to
dispel widespread public misconceptions about Medicare and long-term care.

New York Times Fakes The Record About Arming The Syrian Rebels
By Moon of Alabama. Now, [..] the sense of betrayal among the Kurds [..] is
matched only by their outrage at who will move in: Turkish soldiers supported
by Syrian fighters the United States had long rejected as extremists, criminals
and thugs...The deadly battles [..] have also given new leeway to Syrian
fighters once considered too extreme or unruly to receive American military
support...Grandly misnamed the Syrian National Army, this coalition of
Turkish-backed militias is in fact largely composed of the dregs of the
eight-year-old conflict’s failed rebel movement.

‘Crude Truth’ Protest At National Portrait Gallery BP Awards Exhibition.
By Realmedia.press. The final day of the BP Portrait Awards exhibition at
London’s National Portrait Gallery was interrupted by protesters from various
campaign groups working together to highlight BP’s part in the exploitation and
repression of frontline communities, especially in the Global South, as well as
its role in the climate and ecological crisis. The National Portrait Gallery
flaunts its 30 year relationship with BP, but recently the RSC announced that
it was ending its association with BP, and the National Gallery has also
jettisoned Shell...

Survey: People In The US Want A More Progressive Foreign Policy, Including On
Israel
By Michael Arria, Mondoweiss. During the recent Democratic debate in Ohio,
Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard asked Senator Elizabeth Warren if she would join
her in calling for an end to “the regime change war in Syria.” “So, look, I
think that we ought to get out of the Middle East,” Warren responded. “I don’t
think we should have troops in the Middle East. But we have to do it the right
way, the smart way.” Warren’s answer was enough to rankle Democratic
frontrunner Joe Biden. “I was surprised last night in the debate,” he told a
crowd in Iowa the next day. “One of my colleagues said we should remove all
troops from the Middle East.”

Now Retired, Top U.S. Environmental Scientist Feels Free To Speak Her Mind
By Warren Cornwall, Sciencemag.org. As director of the National Institute of
Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) in Durham, North Carolina, toxicologist
Linda Birnbaum had to navigate numerous controversies about pollution and human
health. That’s because the $775 million institute, part of the National
Institutes of Health (NIH), often funds or conducts studies that address hot
regulatory issues, including where to set air pollution or chemical exposure
limits.

Corporate Taxes Based On CEO Pay: The Public Opinion Context
By Frank Newport, News.Gallup.com. Sen. Bernie Sanders' focus on reducing what
he calls "the outrageous level of inequality that exists in America today" has
been a significant part of his campaign for the Democratic presidential
nomination. To address that issue, Sanders has announced a number of proposals
-- chiefly, increased income taxes on higher-income households and a new tax on
the wealth of the richest Americans. Most recently, Sanders announced a plan
for additional taxes on corporations whose CEOs make a lot of money relative to
the average wage of their employees.

Kashmir- The Curious Case Of Indian Collective Conscience
By Mudasir Firdosi, Countercurrents.org. Kashmir has been cut off from the rest
of the world for more than two months now, with little certainty about what is
coming next. Kashmiris living in and outside the erstwhile state of Jammu and
Kashmir remain disconnected with hardly any means to communicate with each
other. Just a few days ago some mobile connectivity was restored. Terrible
stories of loss, grief, and mourning are making rounds on social media, few
news outlets, and mostly within the minds of Kashmiris. The days of siege have
become another statistic with most losing count.

Bolivian Social Movements Mobilize To Defend Vote Against Opposition Violence
By Telesur English. On Tuesday morning, CONALCAM, a coalition of Indigenous
groups and workers unions that are affiliated to Morales’ ‘Movement Towards
Socialism’ held a press conference where they declared a state of emergency,
calling for mobilizations in the streets to defend democracy. Right-wing
protesters have launched numerous violent attacks across the country on Monday
night as preliminary results indicated that leftist President Evo Morales is on
course for a first round victory. Attacks included the burning down of vote
counting centers and assaulting Indigenous supporters of Morales.

The History Of Hong Kong, Britain’s Colonial Legacy. Fast Forward To 2019
By Larry Romanoff, Globalresearch.ca. The reason Hong Kong was seized by
England, on orders of Queen Victoria, was that Sassoon needed a logistics,
warehousing, and distribution base for his opium operations. Similarly, the
founding of HSBC, an event requiring permission of the monarch, was for the
handling and laundering of Sassoon’s drug money, an expertise in which the bank
still specialises today. The standard narrative tells us the HSBC was founded
by Scotsman Sir Thomas Sutherland, who wanted a bank operating on “sound
Scottish banking principles”, but that’s historical Photoshopping.

U.N. Day: Strengthening And Reforming
By René Wadlow, Transcend.org. 24 October is U.N. Day, marking the day when
there were enough ratifications including those of the five permanent members
of the proposed Security Council for the U.N. Charter to come into force. It
is a day not only of celebration, but also a day for looking at how the U.N.
system can be strengthened, and when necessary, reformed. There have been a
number of periods when proposals for new or different United Nations structures
were proposed and discussed. The first was in the 1944-1945 period when the
Charter was being drafted.

‘The Management Of Savagery’: Greater Middle East Project Of Chaos
By Roger Harris. 19 Oct 2019 – Destination Afghanistan was known as the big
easy back in the halcyon days of the late 1960s. Hippies from throughout the
affluent West hitchhiked to the capital, Kabul, where crash pads and hashish
were cheap, and the locals were tolerant. Life appeared to be mellow in the
scenic shadow of the Hindu Kush Himalayans. That was then. Now Afghanistan is
engulfed in year 18 of the forever US war with no end in sight. The war has
gotten so old – the longest in US history – that the Pentagon PR flacks changed
the code name from Operation Enduring Freedom to Operation...
