I believe that the next POTUS will likely be either a Democrat or a Republican, which rep of the oligarchs will get the nod? https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2024/president/us/general-election-trump-vs-biden-7383.html says that polls currently indicate that between Trump and Biden in 2024, Trump wins. I'm also of the belief that it really doesn't matter how you vote for POTUS (or if you vote in that race at all) because the policies aren't all that different. All of Illinois' electoral votes will go to the Democrat no matter whom that would be. So perhaps Salon.com's 2019 headline still covers it, "Joe Biden to rich donors: "Nothing would fundamentally change" if he's elected" from https://www.salon.com/2019/06/19/joe-biden-to-rich-donors-nothing-would-fundamentally-change-if-hes-elected/ . It's a while yet to that election. Things can get a lot worse. And real political action doesn't wait for elections.

Zogby ? President Arab American Institute Twenty years ago when Congress passed the bipartisan McCain-Feingold bill on campaign finance reform , many celebrated what they hoped would be a new era in US politics. There were limits set for individual contributions and those of political action committees. ?All contributions in federal elections were to be reported to the Federal Election Commission and made available for public scrutiny. There was also a taxpayer fund established that would allow presidential candidates, if they wished, to secure matching funds for lower-level contributions to their campaigns, if they accepted a limit on their overall spending. ? What we feared was that big money would ultimately find a way to subvert McCain-Feingold and once again insert itself into the electoral process. After the Supreme Court?s ruling in the Citizens United case found that money was a form of free speech and therefore its use in politics could not be limited, the floodgates were again opened to financial abuse of the electoral process. What followed were massive ?independent expenditures? from both the left and right, by corporations and interest groups supporting or opposing campaigns. Groups representing banks, big pharma, women?s rights, the gun lobby and others spent millions to advance their interests. The funds they poured into campaigns??dark money expenditures?? were considered private and therefore not subject to FEC reporting or public disclosure.? Supporters of Israel have a long history of bundling large contributions to support or oppose candidates. Before and after McCain-Feingold there were scores of pro-Israel PACs that would routinely bundle donations from PACs and individual donors, raising millions of dollars in each election cycle. As intimidating as their tactics may have been, the funds they raised were duly reported to the FEC and were available to the public.? This year is different. Fearful that Israel is losing support among Democrats, especially progressive Democrats, elements of the pro-Israel community have developed a number of ?dark money? entities with the express purpose of defeating ?progressive Democrats? even if those progressives haven?t yet been outspoken critics of Israel or Israeli policies. Interestingly, much of their expenditures haven?t been in support of candidates, but against those whom they oppose. And the massive costly advertising campaigns they have waged haven?t focused on Israel. They have been devoted to tearing down the reputations of the progressive candidates they want to see defeated.? This year, millions of dollars have been spent in efforts to smear and defeat candidates in Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Texas, Maryland, and now Michigan and Missouri. Despite the obscene amounts spent, this effort operated without much notice until a few weeks ago, when a former Maryland congresswoman running to regain her seat was subjected to a $6,000,000 negative advertising blitz that sought to discredit her years of public service. As has been the case in a number of these races, the amount of funds expended by these pro-Israel groups exceeded the amounts raised by the campaigns they were opposing and/or supporting.? A few investigative reporters have succeeded in uncovering the sources of some of the funds, much of them coming from a handful of billionaires?from energy companies, investment firms, and high-tech industries. Many of the donors are Republicans who have found a way to advance a pro-Israel agenda by helping to defeat progressive Democrats.? This past week?s primaries featured four of these contests, three in Michigan and one in Missouri. In Michigan, a Palestinian American incumbent was targeted by more than $2,000,000; a Jewish American incumbent faced a barrage of negative advertising funded by in excess of $4,300,000?though he is pro-Israel, apparently he wasn?t pro-Israel enough; and an Indian American running for an open seat was confronted by an expenditure in excess of $4,200,000. In Missouri, an African American congresswoman, who rose to national prominence during the racial justice protests in Ferguson, Missouri, and in 2020 was able to unseat a long-standing pro-Israel member of Congress, was confronted with millions of dollars in negative advertising that sought to discredit her service to her district. ?? When the results were tabulated, ?dark money? was defeated in three of these contests. They were only successful in defeating the Jewish American incumbent in Michigan. That?s what ?dark money? can do.? Thus far, in 2022, the pro-Israel ?dark money? groups and PACs have spent in excess of $30 million with a mixed record of wins and losses. But the real losers go beyond the candidates themselves?both those who?ve lost and the winners whose reputations have been tarnished. What?s at stake is the integrity and openness of our elections and the political process that can be so distorted by excessive amounts of ?dark money.? The outcome of an election in a democracy shouldn?t go to the highest bidders, free to spend unlimited amounts to destroy someone deemed an opponent. Also at risk, and of equal importance, is the ability of candidates to freely debate a critical issue of importance without fear of having their political careers ended by a handful of big money donors willing to ruin their reputations if they dare to speak out.? *** Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this article are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the position of the Arab American Institute.

The propaganda war is failing both with Americans -- this war is hardly registering as important[0] -- and in light of what alternative media has been saying for years and since February 2022. There's not much recognition that the US carried out a coup against the democratically elected Ukrainian government, why some Ukrainians moved east to the Donbas, or that the Minsk agreements went unimplemented for 8 years[1] and Ukraine agreed to them under false pretenses (the deal "meant nothing"[2]). This is slowly starting to change (via alternative media and the recent Amnesty Intl. report[3]) but by now the months-long narrative has been set. Even the Nazi backing in the Ukraine military went from being explicitly acknowledged to being minimized or covered up (now called various phrases such as 'right wing'); we can't have NATO members understand that they're supporting Nazi ideologues.

According to Waters, the version of his interview that aired on CNN on TV was highly edited. The online version might be the complete interview but that didn't air on TV (so those that see CNN via TV will never hear Waters' full explanation). What didn't air includes a fuller explanation for how Ukraine has not followed through on its agreement (the Minsk accords) and that NATO's moves east is an existential threat to Russia. Waters also labels Joe Biden a war criminal, something CNN apparently isn't too keen to get into or let anyone else get into on their shows. Waters did another interview with RT which is available below, in full, seemingly with no edits (as far as I know).

A former U.S. drone operator in Afghanistan admits to hating himself https://youtube.com/watch?v=-A8uXGU1ShE CGTN documentary 'Remote Killing' promo - Drone strikes equal to human tragedies https://youtube.com/watch?v=ztR7Bd-Yr3c CGTN documentary 'Remote Killing' released https://youtube.com/watch?v=A99tzzochvY The first is a clip from the documentary, the second is an ad featuring more clips from the documentary, and the third is the full documentary. I highly recommend the movie "National Bird" as well which covers the same topic. "National Bird" documentary (English) https://youtube.com/watch?v=cnc_pin3GhQ This documentary features Daniel Hale who was recently convicted and sentenced for the information he shared about the drone program. His segment begins around 7 minutes into this version of the documentary. This documentary also features a critique rebutting former Hawaiian Congressional representative Tulsi Gabbard's supportive position on drones but said two years before (perhaps a "prebuttal"?): Rep. Tulsi Gabbard from https://theintercept.com/2018/01/17/intercepted-podcast-white-mirror/ > So, with these terrorist cells, for example, yes, I do still believe that the > right approach to take is these quick strike forces, surgical strikes, in and out, > very quickly, no long-term deployment, no long-term occupation to be able to get > rid of the threat that exists and then get out and the very limited use of drones > in those situations where our military is not able to get in without creating an > unacceptable level of risk, and where you can make sure that you?re not causing, > you know, a large amount of civilian casualties. Heather Linebaugh served in the United States Air Force from 2009 until March 2012. Her bio in The Guardian says she worked in intelligence as an imagery analyst and geo-spatial analyst for the drone program during the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan. Two years before Rep. Gabbard said the above Heather Linebaugh said the following in "National Bird": > Hearing politicians speak about drones being precision weapons, being able to make > 'surgical strikes', to me it's completely ridiculous, completely ludicrous to even > make those statements. It's as flawed as it can be with those people operating it > from across the world. If they really think they can send a bomb through a window > of a compound and hit one militant then why are we seeing so many civilians die of > collateral damage? I'd like to ask those politicians have they not been notified > of that? Do they not know what's going on in their own war that they're > controlling? Linebaugh is also the author of: "I worked on the US drone program. The public should know what really goes on" https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/dec/29/drones-us-military "National Bird" documentary with German dubbing https://youtube.com/watch?v=-EsrRVb4weg National Bird Director and Producer Sonia Kennebeck https://youtube.com/watch?v=p92wPlchHKY National Bird | Panel | Berlinale 2016 https://youtube.com/watch?v=MkheUav0dq0 I recommend seeing or downloading these while you can. YouTube is highly censorious and has a track record of blocking access to videos and blocking accounts which post material that challenges Western establishment propaganda. YouTube does this even years after the videos are posted. I plan to include the "National Bird" and "Remote Killing" documentaries in the next batch of recommended videos for UPTV. If someone sees those videos I recommend actually play on UPTV, please post about that to peace-discuss. It would be good for me to know that these recommendations are being shown.

A Politico poll of Republican voters in the aftermath of the Mar-a-Lago raid gave Trump a 10-point boost over his closest possible primary rival, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. Trump?s ensuing fundraising campaign has done even better, quickly topping $1 million on at least two days, a jump of at least 700%. > > Over the long run, it is difficult to form a conclusive judgment on Trump?s potential culpability in the absence of any confirmed detail about both the contents of the documents that Trump allegedly mishandled, and the evidence to support the Justice Department?s suspicions. But if the last six years of routine Trump standoffs with the national security state are any guide, the walls are nowhere closer to closing in. > > Whatever your views on Trump, it is undeniable that the permanent military-intelligence bureaucracy in Washington does not see him as one of their own, and has gone to extraordinary lengths to target him when it sees fit. It also undeniable that the national security state?s spats with Trump have distracted the public from vital issues that impact working people?s lives and the future of the planet. This includes, I have long argued, Trump?s most harmful policies as president, which were routinely overshadowed and even exacerbated by his standoffs with the ?deep state.? > > Accordingly, it is reasonable to expect that this latest ?scandal? over the potential mishandling of classified documents will continue the trend that has defined the Trump era: an intra-elite, symbiotic feud that simultaneous boosts Trump among his base, and the national security state among his foes. > > Pundits and politicians are resoundingly confident that the FBI must have the goods on Trump to have taken the unprecedented step of searching the former president?s home. This argument can only be made by ignoring that the FBI and other intelligence agencies took far more unprecedented and consequential actions against Trump when he was president, on grounds that were not only baseless, but fraudulent. > > The FBI investigated Trump as a suspected Russian conspirator and asset ? and not just once, but twice: first as a presidential candidate, and then months after he took office. To undertake this, they relied on the Hillary Clinton-funded Steele dossier?s conspiracy theories as source material; repeatedly lied to a FISA court; and, despite the full knowledge that they had come up empty, prolonged their investigation with media leaks and court filings that falsely suggested that a collusion ?smoking gun? was within reach. > > Russiagate apologists like to argue that the FBI?s use of the Steele dossier was an aberration that does not taint the whole enterprise. In fact, there are ample grounds to believe that Steele?s fabrications played an even greater role than the FBI has acknowledged ? including, as I have detailed, possibly triggering the Russia investigation to begin with.

URL: From r-szoke at illinois.edu Wed Aug 31 20:16:24 2022 From: r-szoke at illinois.edu (Szoke, Ron) Date: Wed, 31 Aug 2022 20:16:24 +0000 Subject: [Peace-discuss] bad news Message-ID: New data adds to the growing life expectancy gap between the US and other nations, which was flat or on a downward trend since about 2010 while that of other countries continued to increase. In fact, life expectancy in the US declined for three years straight from 2014 to 2017, ?the longest sustained decline ? since the influenza pandemic of 1918-1919,? according to a 2021 report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. Researchers say that the gap is a result of increasing premature deaths in young and middle-aged adults from drug overdoses, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and other chronic diseases. It?s a consequence of the little attention the US has paid to education, poverty, income inequality, public transportation, affordable housing, social well-being, and access to healthcare ? among other life necessities ? compared with peer countries, researchers say. === Update By Roni Caryn Rabin NYT Aug. 31, 2022 The average life expectancy of Americans fell precipitously in 2020 and 2021, the sharpest two-year decline in nearly 100 years and a stark reminder of the toll exacted on the nation by the continuing coronavirus pandemic. In 2021, the average American could expect to live until the age of 76, federal health researchers reported on Wednesday. The figure represents a loss of almost three years since 2019, when Americans could expect to live, on average, nearly 79 years. The reduction has been particularly steep among Native Americans and Alaska Natives, the National Center for Health Statistics reported. Average life expectancy in those groups was shortened by four years in 2020 alone.
