Careerists and Democratic Party apparatchiks successfully leverage corporate money and backing to seize and deform historic rights organizations into appendages of the ruling class. Nils Melzer, the U.N. Special Rapporteur on Torture, is one of the very few establishment figures to denounce the judicial lynching of Julian Assange. Melzer’s integrity and courage, for which he has been mercilessly attacked, stand in stark contrast to the widespread complicity of many human rights and press organizations, including PEN America, which has become a de facto subsidiary of the Democratic National Committee. Those in power, as Noam Chomsky points out, divide the […]

Drone whistleblower Daniel Hale was sent on Sunday to the notorious Communications Management Unit (CMU) at the maximum-security U.S. Penitentiary (USP) at Marion, Illinois to serve a 45-month sentence, rather than to the low-security prison at Butner, North Carolina, where federal Judge Liam O’Grady had recommended he go.

When Scott Forman started a software-assisted letter-writing campaign to get out the vote in 2017, he had no idea it would become the perfect strategy for 2020’s global pandemic election. Today, his nonprofit, Vote Forward, has recruited volunteers to pen over 11.5 million letters and counting that will be sent later this month to unlikely voters across the nation. “It’s one of the biggest tactics in our unusual year where it’s no longer possible to knock on people’s doors,” Forman told The Daily Beast. Older volunteers at higher risk of severe COVID-19 complications are looking for a grassroots organizing method they […]
You know the modern day leftist movement has gone off the rails when they attack Marxist hero Noam Chomsky. The world renown Marxist philosopher joined a gaggle of other notable luminaries in penning a letter calling out the closed minded left for intolerance and cancel culture, and instead encouraging more open debate and dialogue. The letter was published by Harper’s, of all outlets, and reads in part: The free exchange of information and ideas, the lifeblood of a liberal society, is daily becoming more constricted.

It has more than just symbolic meaning, this victory is a real trigger, as we can now show that we are also capable of managing large communities … It is also basically the end of the anti-republican front, that is, one whose idea was to defeat a ‘National Rally’ […]
