Since early last Thursday, in what has seemingly finally brought an end to the two-year long COVID-19 corporate media narrative, a Russian military intervention in neighbouring Ukraine, launched in response to almost nine years of NATO provocations following Kiev coming under the rule of the successive pro-Western governments of Petro Poroshenko and Voldymyr Zelensky since the 2014 Euromaidan colour revolution, has dominated media headlines worldwide –with Moscow coming in for levels of global condemnation not seen since the Cold War. US President Joe […]

‘Inaction Speaks Louder Than Words.’ On Friday, February 11th antiwar groups United Against War and Militarism, Veterans for Peace, and Massachusetts Peace Action protested at Elizabeth Warren’s office in Boston to demand that she invoke a War Powers Resolution to end US involvement in the nearly 7 year-long proxy war in Yemen. While Warren has expressed nominal opposition to US involvement and voted for a War Powers Resolution while Trump was in office, she has refused to take any concrete action since Biden was elected. All the while, the US and regional and global powers continue to treat Yemen as a battleground […]

Which human rights matter enough to put politics above sports? For decades, the United States and its European allies have gotten to decide the answer at their convenience. On February 4, the 2022 Winter Olympics are set to open in Beijing. With this, the Chinese capital will become the first city to have hosted both the Summer and Winter Games. It will also […]
A federal judge has rejected a request to repeal statewide restrictions on religious gatherings in Colorado, insisting the coronavirus still poses too great a risk to residents. The move was scorched by civil liberties advocates. US District Judge Christine Arguello ruled this week that allowing such gatherings would “present a high risk of harm to the state of Colorado as well as the public in general,” declining to overturn a 175-person limit on religious events imposed by Governor Jared Polis. “Numerous courts have considered, and persuasively rejected, nearly identical arguments,” Arguello wrote in her decision, referring to the case brought by […]
Seth Meyers spent several minutes Monday morning exposing the blatant hypocrisy of Republican senators trying to jam through President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee when they wouldn’t even allow a vote on President Obama’s four years earlier—all while admitting the entire exercise won’t have any effect whatsoever on their behavior “Now look, I get that highlighting their hypocrisy is mostly pointless,” the Late Night host said. “Hypocrisy only matters if you have shame. They don’t. Mitch McConnell certainly isn’t capable of feeling shame. He looks like a haunted wooden doll you’d find at an estate sale and has the same level of […]

Canada is supporting US efforts to overthrow Nicaragua’s government. A recently leaked USAID document highlights “the breadth and complexity of the US government’s plan to interfere in Nicaragua’s internal affairs up to and after its presidential election in 2021.” The stated aim is to replace president Daniel Ortega with “a government committed to the rule of law, civil liberties, and a free civil society.” HighlightingWashington’s aim, Ben Norton […]
A pool boy allegedly fucked his wife as he sat, watched, and enjoyed every second. For such a virulently anti-gay, Christian conservative, props to Jerry Falwell Jr. for at least serving up a note of pure Jackie Collins camp in the scandal that has led to his reported resignation as president of Liberty University, although on Monday night he claimed to be on “indefinite leave.” “Becki [Falwell’s wife] and I developed an intimate relationship, and Jerry enjoyed watching from the corner of the room,” Giancarlo Granda told Reuters of his affair with the couple. Now 29, Granda told Reuters that these […]
Twitter users chewed out US President Donald Trump on Monday for a post claiming wearing a face mask is “patriotic” after months of slamming the sanitary precaution, which health officials say can stem the spread of COVID-19. Meanwhile, Trump’s poll numbers are falling, and COVID-19 cases are skyrocketing. “We are United in our effort to defeat the Invisible China Virus, and many people say that it is Patriotic to wear a face mask when you can’t socially distance,” Trump said in a Monday tweet showing him wearing a mask. “There is nobody more Patriotic than me, your favorite President!” We are […]
Former UK PM Theresa May has sparked anger after lamenting the rise in discrimination against black people in Britain, with some saying she is complicit for having overseen the government’s ‘hostile environment’ policy. During an interview with BBC Radio 4 on Thursday, May contended that the increasing number of black people being stopped by police was evidence that individuals were being apprehended based on the color of their skin, adding that there was a “wider” societal issue at play. I fundamentally believe that you should not be stopped on the streets of our country simply because of the colour of your […]
The scenes of thousands of people marching in Chicago in a joint Pride and Black Lives Matter parade have raised some questions about double standards in reporting and enforcing social distancing rules amid Covid-19 pandemic. Even though officially Chicago’s annual Pride Parade has been canceled due to Covid-19 concerns, massive crowds nevertheless gathered on Sunday in the Lakeview neighborhood and marched Uptown to “reclaim Pride.” Aerial footage of the packed event has drawn much criticism from those opposing the harsh lockdown measures, and the apparent double standards in enforcing them. Local authorities and mainstream media were blasted for closing their eyes […]
CNN anchor Anderson Cooper blasted President Donald Trump on Tuesday night for his hypocritical approach on the coronavirus pandemic, noting that while the president publicly downplays the threat he is personally protected in a “biological bunker.” Cooper kicked off his Tuesday night broadcast by noting daily coronavirus cases and hospitalizations are suddenly surging nationwide, all while the president decided to visit Arizona, one of the hardest-hit states, for another indoor campaign event. “He first visits the border wall and then goes to get a dose of self-gratification, his own favorite medicine other than hydroxychloroquine, at a megachurch where the pastors promise […]

“All people are equal, but some people are more equal than others” – Ecumenical Patriarchate By Nadia Bazuk for VT Ukraine On June 3, the head of the Greek American Archdiocese of the Ecumenical Patriarchate, Archbishop Elpidophoros, took part in a Black Lives Matter protest in New York against racism and discrimination. In his Facebook post, Elpidophoros noted that in this way he expressed solidarity with his “fellow sisters and brothers whose rights have been sorely abused”. At a first glance, it may seem that the Phanar wants to demonstrate its commitment to Christian values – justice, peace and equality of […]
Wednesday night on Fox News, Laura Ingraham defended New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees’ right to an opinion about Colin Kaepernick and other NFL players kneeling during the national anthem. Noting that Brees is a “person” who has “some worth,” she said, “I mean, this is beyond football, though. This is totalitarian conduct. This is Stalinist!” This is the same Laura Ingraham who told LeBron James in 2018 to “keep the political commentary” to himself and “shut up and dribble.” On Thursday, James used Ingraham hypocrisy to make the point that #BlackLivesMatter activists have been trying to make for years. “If […]
President Donald Trump has threatened to stamp out looting and riots in Minnesota with the military. However, his administration’s support for rioters in Hong Kong has drawn criticism from China’s most influential newspaper. The death of an unarmed black man at the hands of two police officers in Minneapolis sparked a wave of rioting in the Minnesota city when a video of the incident was made public this week. Now, after three days of violence, looting and arson, President Trump has threatened to send in the military, warning the “thugs” involved that “when the looting starts, the shooting starts.” Hu Xijin, […]
