“Food shortages — it’s going to be real,” President Joe Biden said in Brussels March 25. “The price of the sanctions is not just imposed upon Russia. It’s imposed upon an awful lot of countries as well, including European countries and our country as well.” This ominous warning, reported around the world, was delivered at a NATO press conference. As Biden spoke, workers’ actions in Spain, Greece, Italy, France and Germany confronted soaring prices for fuel and food. From truckers to farmers on tractors, roads were blocked.

Above Photo: Jonathan Ernst/Reuters. Why Did You Believe? Presidential candidate Joe Biden promised action on issues that had broad public support. But once in office he refused to do what the people wanted. His promises were merely a strategy to get votes from the gullible. I wasn’t a big fan of 80s synth music, but a few bands and songs stick out as tolerable, if not memorable, and at this point in time downright appropriate. One such song is “Promises, Promises,” by the band Naked Eyes, which I can’t get out of my head these days. The lyrics to the chorus […]

The CEO of Wells Fargo offered a groveling apology for his “unconscious bias” and promised more diversity at one of the largest US banks, after a quote from an internal memo caused outrage even some members of Congress joined in. “I apologize for making an insensitive comment reflecting my own unconscious bias,” Charlie Scharf said in a statement released on Wednesday. “There are many talented diverse individuals working at Wells Fargo and throughout the financial services industry and I never meant to imply otherwise.” The San Francisco-based Wells Fargo is now “requiring diverse candidate slates for key roles with compensation of […]

A pledge by Belgrade and Pristina to the US that they would move their diplomatic missions in Israel to Jerusalem has sparked concern in Brussels, which warned the move could put the pair’s European prospects at risk. “Any diplomatic steps that would call in question the EU common position on Jerusalem are a matter of serious concern and regret,” the EU’s Foreign Affairs Spokesperson, Peter Stano, said at a regular press briefing while commenting on the agreement Serbia and Kosovo reached through US mediation following talks in Washington. While mostly dealing with regulating economic relations between Serbia and its breakaway region […]

Russia’s Ministry of Defense is considering making military airfields out of ice within the Arctic Circle, after developing a new technology that enables heavy aircraft to land without the need for an asphalt runway. The Bauman Moscow State Technical University has created a system that uses special chemical re-agents to change the structure of ice, enabling planes to touch down. In the future, heavy military transport aircraft such as the Ilyushin Il-76 will be able to land inside the Arctic Circle, despite weighing around 100,000kg when empty. Speaking at the Army-2020 forum, Evgeny Storozhuk, Bauman’s vice-rector for economics and innovation, explained that […]
The team treating Alexey Navalny has managed to stabilize his condition, a lead medic has said. Dr Anatoly Kalinichenko said Russia’s best-known anti-corruption activist was in intensive care and getting the necessary treatment.

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell gave a full-throated endorsement of 2020 Democratic nominee Joe Biden, saying the two shared common values while slamming the Trump administration for sowing division between Americans. The retired Bush-era diplomat and former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff addressed the second night of the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday, insisting that Biden would restore the country’s “leadership and moral authority,” and that Trump could only offer “flattery to dictators and despots.” Colin Powell is a Neocon WMD hoaxer, so of course he’s appearing at the #DemConvention to endorse Establishment’s puppet and denounce President Trump.

When Black Lives Matter chapters demand “abolition” and “defunding” of the police, rather than community control of the cops, they play into the hands of charlatans and misleaders on city councils and in the halls of Congress. “The proposed charter amendment was at best a symbolic gesture and at worst lessened police accountability for past and future crimes.” At the height of the Minneapolis rebellion, a majority of the city council announced they would move […]
White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow has said that more stimulus checks are coming, along with an extension of the current eviction moratorium. However, he was slammed for claiming that all is well with the US economy. The $1 trillion bill will include another round of stimulus checks – to the tune of $1,200 per person, Kudlow told CNN on Sunday.

An analytics firm parsing Twitter data in real time for law enforcement and media has been caught funneling detailed info on anti-police-brutality marches to the very agencies users are protesting, despite promises not to. Dataminr, a CIA-funded artificial intelligence startup that mines Twitter’s real-time content stream for behavioral patterns and other analytics, has been caught feeding info on police brutality protesters from that “firehose” stream back to law enforcement. While the developers had promised they wouldn’t enable domestic surveillance after a series of scandals in 2016, Dataminr is once again doing just that, the Intercept revealed on Thursday, slurping up Twitter […]

As former Vice President Joe Biden’s advisers struggle with ways to heighten the visibility of their candidate in these bizarre political times, they should avoid the trap that has ensnared many other campaigns: making promises that can undermine campaign operations and the work of governing if you win. The long road to chaos or defeat is littered with many of them. Most notable may be George H. W. Bush’s “Read my lips, no new taxes!” pledge in 1988. When forced to raise revenues with even a modest tax increase he was bludgeoned by conservatives and ultimately defeated for re-election. While campaigning […]
