Behind It Is Chevron. Janine Jackson interviewed Amazon Watch’s Paul Paz y Miño about Chevron vs. Steven Donziger for the October 22, 2021, episode of CounterSpin. This is a lightly edited transcript. Janine Jackson: I will introduce our guest essentially the same way I did in May 2017: When we talk about environmental justice, the emphasis is usually on the first word. That might be what comes to mind when you think about Chevron, formerly Texaco, dumping some 16 billion gallons of toxic oil waste into the land and water of Indigenous and farmer communities in Ecuador. But when, having poisoned those communities, […]

China’s tightening of its national security laws come as Beijing is also currently trialing an experimental Covid-19 drug in the city of Yiwu in the Zhejiang province. The Chinese government has changed a law to make it a criminal offence to deface or intentionally insult its national flag, according to AP News. The changes reportedly made to the National Flag and National Emblem law, which were reportedly passed on Saturday, October 17, by The Standing Committee of China’s congress, will make liable for criminal responsibility and investigation anyone who burns, tramples upon, or defaces its flag in public. In 2017, The […]
The malfunctioning mics ensured that the Senate Judiciary Committee fell awkwardly silent at times during the third day of Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation hearing. Outside the room, however, the din of politics surrounding the nomination kept getting louder. With the Senate’s ultimate confirmation of Barrett largely a foregone conclusion, both parties set about making the hearings work for them in the final weeks before the 2020 election. Those respective playbooks became clear not long after Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death in September, which opened up the seat that Barrett has been nominated to fill. But by Wednesday, with her confirmation hearings […]
A massive brawl erupted between Israeli troops from two different training companies over who was going to eat first at the canteen. Some 21 soldiers were injured in what the IDF called an “unusual and serious” incident. The confrontation between training companies representing the Bedouin 585th reconnaissance unit and the Shaked Battalion occurred at the Har Keren training base on Sunday. Things became so heated in the fracas that one of the troops even started loading his gun, according to one witness who was cited in local reports. The brawl lasted several minutes and involved around 30 people – some 21 […]
David Pearson, a research professor in the School of Life Sciences at Arizona State University, and Philip Fearnside, an ecologist at the National Institute for Research in Amazonia (INPA) in Brazil, joined Radio Sputnik on Thursday to discuss the role the meat industry plays in the Amazon rainforest fires. A recent report by the Guardian, citing Brazil’s space research agency INPE, revealed that fires in the country’s Amazon have increased by 13% in the first nine months of the year compared to the same period a year ago. “We have had two months with a lot of fire. It’s already worse […]
Serie A champs Juventus’s Allianz Stadium became the setting for surreal scenes on Sunday as visitors Napoli dodged the fixture, leaving Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates to turn up for a match that was doomed to abandonment. Visitors Napoli never had a realistic chance of fielding a team for the fixture after 16 of their players and four members of their backroom squad were forced to quarantine because they had come into close contact with midfielder Piotr Zielinski. The Poland star was confirmed to have tested positive for Covid-19 on Friday, and Napoli interpreted the rules around isolation as meaning that colleagues who […]

Minneapolis prosecutors argued Friday that the four ex-cops charged in George Floyd’s death should face a single jury after participating in the May 25 incident “together”—but their lawyers argued a collective trial would be against the “interest of justice” in the latest indication the men are turning on each other. During a court appearance, attorneys for Derek Chauvin, Tou Thao, Thomas K. Lane, and J. Alexander Kueng argued each of their clients should get their own trial, highlighting the media scrutiny of the case and the differing roles each played in the tragic arrest. In filings prior to Friday’s hearing, each […]
The FBI’s top terrorism cops took down a different kind of alleged terrorist in a complaint filed earlier this month: an incel. In a complaint filed in federal court in White Plains, New York, an FBI agent with the Bureau’s Joint Terrorism Task Force detailed a year-long campaign of harassment, rape, and death threats levied at a Long Island couple by David Kaufman, a self-described member of the “incel” movement and supporter of one of its most notorious murderers, Elliot Rodger. Prosecutors alleged that Kaufman terrorized a couple he knew from college and their friends in a series of messages on […]
A veteran political operative who pioneered an extremely shady electioneering tactic on behalf of some of the nation’s most prominent Republicans is on a new mission—to use that tactic to defeat a Republican president. Steve Goldberg says he’s founded a new super PAC, Express Yourself, that is calling voters in key swing states to ask whether they believe “Jesus Christ would approve or disapprove of the nicknames Donald Trump gives to people that are mean [and] hurtful.” The calls also attempt to frame a potential Trump victory as a loss for Republicans; if Trump prevails, they claim, Democrats will retake the […]
Fed up with decades of two-party rule, hundreds of thousands of Americans tuned in for the People’s Convention, where they voted to form a new political alternative unbeholden to corporate power or the military-industrial complex. The event drew more than 400,000 viewers to its livestream on Sunday, organizers said. It continued to trend on Twitter through more than 5 hours of speeches that culminated in a vote to create a “major new corporate-free political party in America.” Among the speakers at the convention were several disgruntled Democrats, from Sen. Bernie Sanders’s 2020 national co-chair Nina Turner to a candidate in this […]
The flood of emails started in early August, carrying dire messages from Democratic politicians. “Save the USPS from Trump,” pleaded Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA). “Help Bob defend the USPS,” an email from Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) nudged. “We can’t let Donald Trump steal this election,” blared the subject line of an email from Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA). In the last month, Democrats have sought to counter a crisis at the U.S. Postal Service, a beloved but beleaguered institution struggling under the weight of oppressive operational “reforms” from a new Postmaster General, Louis DeJoy, and renewed attacks from President Donald Trump.

Clinton-appointed U.S. District Judge Victor Marrero on Thursday rejected President Trump’s second attempt to quash an investigation by abusive New York prosecutors seeking his tax returns and financial documents. Recall, Judge Marrero previously denied Trump’s first attempt to block a subpoena from crooked Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance. The Supreme Court also ruled last month that a US president is not immune from a grand jury subpoena while in office. “At its core, it amounts to absolute immunity through a back door, an entry point through which not only a President but also potentially other persons and entities, public and private, could […]
Former Governor Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown is showing no sympathy for the millions of Californians now subject to rolling blackouts amid a brutal heatwave – let alone remorse – even though his policies contributed to power shortages. “Hey California! We can avoid a blackout, but you have to turn up your damn thermostat,” Brown tweeted Tuesday night. Brown, presumably, isn’t suffering the same fate of air-conditioning deprivation at his entirely solar-powered home on a 2,500-acre ranch in rural northern California. California’s grid operator ordered rolling blackouts last Friday and Saturday as scorching heat spurred demand for power to run air conditioners. Power […]

Philadelphia is seeing an increase in shootings so the far-left City Council and police organized a ‘home gun-check campaign’ urging residents to turn in their firearms. Makes sense. Voluntary gun buyback programs and other programs aimed at urging residents to voluntarily turn in their firearms would only increase violence because it keeps criminals armed and disarms law abiding citizens.

President Donald Trump has called on the Republican-held Senate to kill a bill that would overturn his controversial travel ban.
