In his recent article, “America’s Fate: Oligarchy or Autocracy,” Chris Hedges writes that bankrupt liberals have sold out to the oligarchic class to try to prevent an autocracy from rising but that is actually creating the conditions for autocracy. Hedges speaks with Clearing the FOG about the lessons from the Occupy movement – he was involved in the Occupy Wall Street movement in New York City and the occupation of Freedom Plaza in Washington, DC in 2011 – and why we must build a militant movement now to confront and hold power accountable. He explains how power works, including the role […]
One of President Biden’s first statements included an intention to review the United States’ sanctions, which are actually unilateral coercive measures, to determine if they ‘unduly hinder’ the ability of targeted countries to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. That review, to be conducted by the US Treasury and State Department, has not been made public, if it has been done at all. The Sanctions Kill coalition conducted its own report on “The Impact and Consequences of US Sanctions,” which was released last week. Clearing the FOG speaks with two of the authors, John Philpot and David Paul, about what sanctions are, […]
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – The Russian Embassy in Washington has refuted US claims of alleged Russian involvement in a major cyber attack targeting officials and various large-scale events, with an embassy representative telling Sputnik that Russia has no intention to engage in destabilizing operations. On Monday, the US charged six alleged Russian military intelligence officers with a major cyber attack, claiming that they targeted large-scale events, such as elections in France, Ukraine’s power grid and American medical facilities. “It is quite obvious that such information has nothing to do with reality and is aimed only at stirring up Russophobic sentiments in the […]
Rudy Giuliani’s latest effort to push more dirt on the Bidens weeks before the 2020 presidential election had some important backers—chief among them, the president of the United States. In recent weeks, Donald Trump was made aware of an alleged secret trove of material about Hunter Biden’s foreign dealings and private life, and was keen on getting it out into the public domain as soon as possible, according to two sources familiar with the matter. “Have you heard about this [hard drive]?” one of the people recalled the president asking recently. The president made clear this latest salvo against the Bidens […]
On this “Speaking of Bitcoin” episode, join hosts Adam B. Levine, Stephanie Murphy, Jonathan Mohan and special guest Martin Rerak, creator of AllYourFeeds.com, for a look at how “AI curation” is being used to figure out what’s useful information and what’s just fluff. In the early days of Bitcoin, there were just a few places you might go to read news and stay informed, but over the years things have changed dramatically. Today there are thousands of projects and hundreds of articles written each day. And that’s assuming you ignore the wilds of YouTube or the depths of crypto Twitter. There were days […]

As the US presidential election approaches, the Democratic party is ramping up speculation about “Russian interference”, with Moscow allegedly attempting to undermine the campaign of Democratic candidate Joe Biden. Joe Biden warned there would be “consequences” for Russian President Vladimir Putin for “violation of our sovereignty” when asked by MSNBC host on allegations that Russia is conducting “interference [in the US presidential election] to hurt you and cause chaos”. “My message to Vladimir Putin is that if I get elected, I’m coming”, Biden said. “Because here’s the deal, it’s a violation of our sovereignty. I made it clear before, and I’ll […]
Fox News host Tucker Carlson ramped up his inflammatory rhetoric on Thursday night when he essentially argued that Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and Jacob Blake were to blame for their deaths and injuries from police, going so far as to tie Taylor to drug trafficking to make his case. On the same day that a federal judge agreed with Fox News lawyers that Carlson’s program should not be taken seriously as news or information, the primetime conservative star insisted that “every story we’ve been told” recently about police brutality against African Americans “has been at its core a lie.” Floyd’s death […]
As the United Kingdom has recorded another 4,322 confirmed COVID-19 cases, Public Health England’s medical director Yvonne Doyle made the dire prediction of “far worse things to come”, with the government looking at a spate of scenarios and potential measures to stanch the spread of the virus. UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson admitted on Friday that Britain was “now seeing a second wave coming in” of the coronavirus epidemic. “We’re looking very carefully at the spread of the pandemic as it evolves over the last few days and there’s no question, as I’ve said for several weeks now, that we could […]
US President Donald Trump is poised to announce the pullout of more American troops from Iraq on Wednesday, and from Afghanistan in the coming days, a US official reportedly told the media on board Air Force One.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The fact that Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny was put out of coma indicates that it was not Novichok nerve agent used against him in the event of his poisoning, Russian scientist Leonid Rink, who was directly involved in the development of Novichok, said. “I rule out his poisoning, because there are no symptoms. But even if a concentration 400 times less than the lethal dose was used, he would come out of a coma, but miosis [constriction of the pupil] would still be observed. There were no such symptoms here”, Rink said. According to the scientist, Novichok […]

One hundred days into sometimes chaotic protests over police brutality, with federal agents throwing protesters into unmarked vans and recent political clashes between demonstrators leading to two deaths, even some of Portland, Oregon’s more extreme actors think things are getting out of hand. Now they could get even worse. Portland, a longtime hotbed for political clashes, veered into its latest protest escalation last Saturday, when a pro-Trump coalition, organized by an Idaho man, caravanned into the city. Many came armed with paintball guns or mace, and deployed them against demonstrators on the left, who have been waging their own protests over […]
Last month, a Bloomberg analysis said that the Fed’s decision to reduce interest rates to rock bottom levels helped wipe out the dollar’s advantage against the euro and the yuan, the currency sliding to its lowest valuation in 27 months while Congress is stuck in gridlock on a stimulus bill aimed at reducing the economic fallout from COVID-19. The US dollar could drop by up to 36 percent against the euro in the coming year or so, Ulf Lindahl, chief investment officer at A.G. Bisset, a hedge fund specializing in currency management, predicts. Speaking to Reuters, the finance specialist said that […]
Starship SN6 is aiming to conduct a 150-meter hop test on Thursday, just a few weeks after SN5 completed the first Starship prototype launch. SN6’s test will be a near-mirror of SN5’s short flight, with both prototypes aiming to refine SpaceX’s launch and landing operations. Meanwhile, additional Starships continue to evolve, along with preparations for the Super Heavy booster, which – according to Chief Designer Elon Musk – could conduct an initial test hop by October.

Classless Michelle Obama popped off about 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse on Friday and said ‘systemic racism’ is coming from the White House. Kyle Rittenhouse was hit with 6 charges after he killed two men and wounded a third in self defense during the Kenosha riots this week. But because Rittenhouse is a white teen, the Democrat-media complex, without any evidence whatsoever, is condemning him as a white supremacist. Michelle Obama threw gasoline on the fire on Friday because that is all she knows what to do. TRENDING: BREAKING: Violent Black Lives Matter Mob Attacks Sen. Rand Paul as He Leaves RNC in […]
The video-sharing app, which has 100 million active users in the United States alone, has fallen victim to the Trump administration’s standoff with China. The president previously accused TikTok, owned by the Chinese company ByteDance, of spying on its users at the behest of Beijing, a claim the company and the Chinese authorities have denied. TikTok will sell its US operations in the coming days as the company is finalising a deal, CNBC reported, citing people familiar with the matter. The agreement will also include the sale of its operations in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand and is estimated to be […]
Raw Story: One of the more pessimistic warnings about a Donald Trump presidency appears to be coming true. Right-wing militias are walking out of the anti-government shadows and standing side by side with law enforcement, and sometimes Republican Party officials, to counter demonstrations against racist police brutality. An overnight shooting in Kenosha, Wisconsin, left two people dead and a third wounded during a confrontation between militia members guarding a gas station and demonstrators protesting the police shooting of 29-year-old Jacob Blake. (now believed to be an innocent bystander) No arrests have been made in that case, but video shows a man […]
Veteran stockbroker Peter Schiff has warned once again that the US currency is doomed and the world will eventually lose confidence in it, which he says should have happened a long time ago. In the latest episode of Boom Bust, Schiff discussed the fate of the US-China trade deal. The investor said he believes that there will be no second-phase agreement, and noted that Beijing still has leverage over Washington, especially ahead of the elections. “The real problem is going to be when the Chinese stop buying our bonds or start selling our bonds,” he said, adding that the process might […]
From the devastation of the service industry to never-ending central bank intervention, these factors make predicting the future of the economy nearly impossible.

Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden told America “there is no miracle coming” to save us from the COVID-19 China coronavirus pandemic. Biden made the remark during his nationally televised acceptance speech for the Democrat Party’s presidential nomination at a near empty hotel convention center in Wilmington, Delaware. Biden is a devout Catholic, or so the media and his campaign tell us: Biden’s identity as “a very devout Catholic and person of deep faith,” deputy political director John McCarthy said, is “baked into the core messaging and core functions of the campaign.” Biden has framed his presidential bid as a fight for […]
Instead of “waiting for a miracle” like Donald Trump, Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden has vowed to bring Covid-19 under control – starting with a national mandate to wear masks as a “patriotic duty.” Biden gave his official acceptance speech on the last night of the Democratic National Convention on Thursday, at one point taking shots at US President Donald Trump’s coronavirus response. But moments after warning that “no miracle is coming,” Biden said his administration would provide just that, promising to roll out a “national strategy” to bring the pandemic under control on “day one.” “We’ll develop and deploy rapid […]
When Carthage College students begin returning to campus in Kenosha, Wisconsin, next week, two very non-traditional welcome back gifts will await them: a thermometer, and a scratch-and-sniff smell test card. Temperature checks as a way to quickly provide a gauge for a common symptom of the novel coronavirus aren’t exactly uncommon in the United States. But smell tests are relative newcomers to the screening scene. Both will be part of daily self-monitoring at the liberal arts college. “Losing your sense of smell is an early symptom—sometimes the only symptom—of COVID,” Leslie Cameron, a psychology professor and expert on sensory perception at […]
Crypto payments startup Wyre is offering white-labeled savings accounts that dole out interest on crypto, the company announced Friday.

Pastor Begley suggested that bigger space rocks may be heading in the direction of our planet, and that certain biblical doomsday prophecies may come true. As another asteroid is expected to swoop by our planet in less than a month, one Christian evangelist warns that it might be a dire portent of things to come. The asteroid in question, 2011 ES4, is expected to pass by Earth at a distance less than that between our planet and the moon, on 1 September, though, as the Daily Star points out, this space rock does not seem to be posing any threat.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has vowed that President Donald Trump will take action “in the coming days” to deal with Chinese software companies that the White House claims are feeding data to Beijing.

President Donald Trump’s ban on visas for highly skilled immigrants has forced Silicon Valley companies into a rock-and-hard-place scenario where they must choose between an essential group of employees and a fundamental legal protection. In facing the double threat, the choice, though difficult and clouded with political bluster, is clear. Of the two, the visa prohibition is the greater threat. Here’s why: Undercutting social media’s legal protections may result in a temporary reformation of the tech industry, one that will take shape in litigation to come; on the other hand, the loss of the gifted people who stand to build the […]

Miami Herald: Florida’s Department of Health on Saturday morning reported a new daily record high of 2,581 new confirmed cases of COVID-19 — surpassing the previous high by 679. The previous high was hit on Friday. And the high before that was hit on Thursday. A Miami Herald analysis of public and non-public COVID-19 data found that as of June 3, new cases in the state had consistently been trending up since mid-May and the trends could not be attributed solely to increases in testing, which had been inconsistent and sometimes declining during that period.
