CounterSpin interview with Josmar Trujillo on hyper-policing. Janine Jackson: When the news got out that someone had shot people in New York City’s subway system, many of us knew just what would come next, and we were not surprised. Immediate, urgent calls for more police and more policing, for tougher treatment of homeless and/or mentally ill people. Forget tolerance or empathy or social services, because look where that gets us. It’s an argument that we’ve heard for decades, but it’s not an abstract debate. Just because patterns and practices are old doesn’t mean their harms are not fresh. So, yes, it matters very much […]

Washington, DC – For the past two days, I have been watching the extradition hearing for Julian Assange via video link from London. The United States is appealing a lower court ruling that denied the US request to extradite Assange not, unfortunately, because in the eyes of the court he is innocent of a crime, but because, as Judge Vanessa Baraitser in January concluded, Assange’s precarious psychological state would deteriorate given the “harsh […]

Dean, VT Editor, …with PressTV, Tehran – First aired … October 13, 2020 – [ Editor’s Note: Trump, Pompeo and the ‘Munchkin’ are reaching the bottom of the barrel when it comes to sanctions, but their days may be numbered if the election brings in a new administration which had spent years negotiating a JCPOA that the Trumpsters tore down as quickly as they could.

Earlier on Thursday, US President Donald Trump hailed the New York Post exposing what he described as “the massive corruption surrounding Sleepy Joe [Biden]” in an apparent reference to the Democratic presidential nominee. White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany has lambasted Twitter for locking her personal account over sharing a tweet about a New York Post story about Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden’s dealings with his son Hunter’s business associates in Ukraine.

TOKYO—The right-hand man of Japan’s longest reigning Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who orchestrated the administration’s control of the press and helped cover up the corruption scandals that forced Abe to resign, is set to be the next prime minister. Yoshihide Suga was crowned the president of Japan’s ruling party, the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) on Monday in an election that had been pre-decided in back-room deals. The LDP controls the lower house of Japan’s parliament and so their president will become the new prime minister.

Amid the Saudi-led military campaign in Yemen, some of its soldiers were taught in the UK how to look good in front of the world’s media in case of any “potential wrongdoing,” a new report says. Ministry of Defence data published by Declassified UK reveals that hundreds of Saudis entered the country for training at six Royal Air Force (RAF) sites in 2019. As the Saudis arrived, their country’s campaign against Yemen’s Houthi rebels entered its fourth year, and a ban on UK-made weapons exports to the desert kingdom came into effect, in response to growing human-rights concerns.

The indictment doesn’t add any charges, it merely uses public information to smear Assange’s reputation and attempt to portray him as a hacker instead of the journalist and publisher that he is. This shows that the […]
Mr Assange faces 18 charges under the indictment, all of which relate to his role in publishing classified documents revealing, among other things, war crimes committed by US forces in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay in 2010 – 2011. Julian Assange’s case took an unexpected turn at the latest hearing at Westminster Magistrate’s Court on Monday, with the defence telling the judge that it was “surprised” to have learned about the US’s superseding indictment against their client via the press. “A superseding indictment is supposed to do what it says on the tin, it’s supposed to replace the existing indictment’, said […]

Scroll for video controls to play (below) The Pentagon chief says he does NOT support deploying active-duty forces to quell civil unrest, breaking with President Donald Trump’s threats of military crackdown. Mark Esper said the option to use active-duty forces in a law enforcement role should only be used as last resort and under dire situations. He said the U-S is still NOT in such circumstances. Esper’s comments immediately gave rise to speculation that Trump wanted him removed. However, White House press secretary later said Esper is in his post as of now.

There has never been a TV President at the level of Donald Trump. Yes, it’s his reality-TV origin story. But it’s also his state of existence: Camera constantly trained on his face, airwaves at his disposal, us as his audience rapt. He is as infatuated with this televised permanence as we seem to be with subsisting it. But, as came into sharp focus Monday night, that reliance on television as his own political tool has only exposed how ill-equipped he is for the constant scrutiny and the realities of the changing landscape. Since his inauguration, there have been countless critical essays […]

In February 2019 we obtained documents providing evidence that the Mueller Special Counsel leaked information to CNN ahead of the arrest of Roger Stone. Stone’s arrest was carried exclusively by CNN. We now know that the Mueller gang’s top corrupt attorney and pitbull, Andrew Weissmann, was behind documents illegally released to the press before Stone was ever indicted. Roger Stone was recently with Sean Hannity on his radio show where he stated the following: It’s important for people to understand the reason we know that Andrew Weissman actually wrote my indictment. I was arrested at 6:00am. At 7:00am January 25th, the […]
Earlier this week, Jimmy Kimmel shared a hypothesis with viewers about why President Donald Trump would take an unproven drug to prevent the coronavirus but refused to wear a mask. “I thought about it for a long time last night and I’ve come to what I think is the only reasonable conclusion,” the late-night host said. “He’s trying to kill himself.” Apparently White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany didn’t find that joke very funny. “Have you been watching the Hydroxy Horror Picture Show?” Kimmel asked Wednesday night. “The president this week claimed he has been taking hydroxychloroquine to stave off the […]

President Trump has been experimenting with new formats for holding press briefings since the daily COVID-19 Chinese coronavirus task force briefings devolved into daily brawls with obnoxious reporters deliberately distorting Trump’s comments to make him come off as if he wanted to poison Americans with disinfectants. Monday afternoon Trump tried a Rose Garden setting with reporters wearing mandatory masks after two White House staffers tested positive for the virus last week. The subject was increased testing to get the country ready for reopening. The press conference was going reasonably well, with reporters asking questions and follow-ups without incident until Trump called […]
