Putin has been named a war criminal because of the Russian way of war in Ukraine—bombing Kyiv and other cities, attacking civilians and first aid workers, and destroying infrastructure. The administration's pause on aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine made the US complicit in those crimes. Meanwhile, Trump does not have any leverage to force Russia to comply with the proposed cease-fire. Plus, the escalating trade war with the EU harms our national security, our allies' hesitancy to share intelligence because of Tulsi, and the South African DOGE bro's laughably absurd attack on Mark Kelly. Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling joins Tim Miller. show notes Hertling's Bulwark piece on the damage of Trump's pause on aid and intel sharing with Ukraine Hertling's Bulwark piece on a frozen conflict in Ukraine Andrew's interview with Sen.

#192: John Bobbe revisits the investigation and exposure of organic grain fraud that he led, which inspired a series of articles in the Washington Post, and later, the US congress to take action. He also updates us on where things stand today and how bad actors in the organic grain distribution and regulation space still need our deep attention.John Bobbe is the former Executive Director of the Organic Farmers Agency for Relationship Marketing (OFARM) and a current Policy Advisor for the Cornucopia Institute. He is well known throughout the organic community for his dedicated detective work tracking shipments of organic grain, visiting ports, and inspecting paperwork in order to uncover the story of the international fraud responsible for devastating domestic markets. John holds a Masters in Agricultural Economics from the University of Missouri.To watch a video version of this podcast please visit:https://www.realorganicproject.org/john-bobbe-aiding-abetting-organic-grain-fraud-episode-one-hundred-ninety-twoThe Real Organic Podcast is hosted by Dave Chapman and Linley Dixon, engineered by Brandon StCyr, and edited and produced by Jenny Prince.The Real Organic Project is a farmer-led movement working towards certifying 1,000 farms across the United States this year. Our add-on food label distinguishes soil-grown fruits and vegetables from hydroponically-raised produce, and pasture-raised meat, milk, and eggs from products harvested from animals in horrific confinement (CAFOs - confined animal feeding operations).To find a Real Organic farm near you, please visit:https://www.realorganicproject.org/farmsWe believe that the organic standards, with their focus on soil health, biodiversity, and animal welfare were written as they should be, but that the current lack of enforcement of those standards is jeopardizing the ability for small farms who adhere to the law to stay in business. The lack of enforcement is also jeopardizing the overall health of the customers who support the organic movement; customers who are not getting what they pay for at market but still paying a premium price. And the lack of enforcement is jeopardizing the very cycles (water, air, nutrients) that Earth relies upon to provide us all with a place to live, by pushing extractive, chemical agriculture to the forefront.If you like what you hear and are feeling inspired, we would love for you to join our movement by becoming one of our 1,000 Real Fans!https://www.realorganicproject.org/1000-real-fans/To read our weekly newsletter (which might just be the most forwarded newsletter on the internet!) and get firsthand news about what's happening with organic food, farming and policy, please subscribe here:https://www.realorganicproject.org/email/

Rick Jensen make the case that, as President Pro Tem of your Delaware State Senate, Dave Sokola could have taken serious steps to show Delaware that Democrats will not stand for credible allegations of domestic violence and abusive behavior towards women. Sokola has refused and now with yet another allegation against Senator Darius Brown, Sokola's lack of leadership has proven he is unworthy to be in the State Senate. Sokola will have you believe this is only a legal case. No. It is also an ethics case which Sokola has tried to evade. When Republicans faced a similar scandal, they made sure Delaware knew Republicans would not aid and abet such alleged behavior while being adjudicated. Sokola refuses to provide such ethical leadership for the Democrats. Listen to hear the details.
We've all heard the aphorism from Lord Acton, “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." But does it? And if it does, how does power corrupt people who would otherwise act in the best interest of others? Does power make people more susceptible to abusing that power or are people more likely to abuse power drawn to leadership positions? Author and political scientist Dr. Brian Klaas set out to answer those questions in his new book, Corruptible: Who Gets Power and How It Changes Us. (Scribner, November 9, 2021). In his previous books, The Despot's Accomplice: How the West is Aiding and Abetting the Decline of Democracy and The Despot's Apprentice: Donald Trump's Attack on Democracy, Klaas turned his keen eye on the increasingly divisive state of the world and how the former U.S. president Donald Trump undermined democracy at home and abroad. This time, Klaas broadens the scope of his research by conducting over 500 interviews for Corruptible - sitting with presidents, rebel leaders, cult members and dictators to try and determine if that age old adage is true.

Taliban Turds. Are U Dog-Styling Me? All's Wheel Well That Ends Wheel Well.
Jessica Trisko Darden joins John Glaser to discuss how U.S. foreign aid tends to support state violence and coercion. Economic and military aid often helps undemocratic regimes secure and sustain their power and carry out human rights abuses. Even aid conditioned on good behavior and respect for democratic norms is highly fungible and often misused in ways that contradict the stated intentions of U.S. policymakers. Dr. Darden discusses the three case studies she details in her book to draw those conclusions.Jessica Trisko Darden bioJessica Trisko Darden,Aiding and Abetting: U.S. Foreign Assistance and State Violence, (Stanford, CA: Stanford University Press, 2020).

Currently in the midst of a natural disaster crisis in the Caribbean, the world has been upside down for much longer than we can probably imagine in terms of the impact of distribution and leverage of wealth across countries and the global north/south divide. The impact of colonialism on it's subjects, and how certain nations struggle to compete in the worldwide market whilst also upholding it, is a tragedy of justice and wild misappropriation of power. We envelope some of the issues surrounding colonialist links to these countries and embed this theme into what is taking place in St Vincent with their La Soufriere volcano eruption displacing and requiring the evacuation of hundreds and thousands of people. A population of around 110k on an island mostly known for it's beauty, heavily self-reliant in terms of food and reliant on tourism for national income, this natural disaster will have a lasting impact on families and individuals who were residing and working there for years to come. Suzanna estimates around 5 years before things begin to get back to some sort of semblance of normality given the impact of evacuation, the conditions created by the effects of a volcano and the debt that will be accrued in the mean time.

This newsletter is really a weekly public policy thought-letter. While excellent newsletters on specific themes within public policy already exist, this thought-letter is about frameworks, mental models, and key ideas that will hopefully help you think about any public policy problem in imaginative ways. It seeks to answer just one question: how do I think about a particular public policy problem/solution?PS: If you enjoy listening instead of reading, we have this edition available as an audio narration courtesy the good folks at Ad-Auris. If you have any feedback, please send it to us.Matsyanyaaya: Constraining the Pakistani Military-Jihadi ComplexBig fish eating small fish = Foreign Policy in action— Pranay KotasthaneAfter a long time, India-Pakistan talks were back making the headlines last week. Moeed Yusuf, Special Assistant on National Security and Strategic Policy Planning to the Pakistani PM, hinted in an interview to The Wire that backchannel discussions about a political dialogue are in the works. We don’t think political dialogues between India and Pakistan at the highest levels are useful. To the contrary, talks, especially at higher levels of the political spectrum, have a close correlation with terrorist attacks engineered by the Pakistani military-jihadi complex (MJC). MJC is a framework we use to describe Pakistan’s seemingly duplicitous behaviour. That’s because Pakistan is not one geopolitical entity, but two. The first is a putative state which has all the paraphernalia that gives it a veneer of a normal state. However, this putative state competes with a multi-dimensional entity comprised of military, militant, radical Islamist and political-economic structures that pursues a set of domestic and foreign policies to ensure its own survival and relative dominance: something we refer to as the military-jihadi complex (MJC).The status of the talks aside, I wrote a paper analysing the impact of some major recent political developments on the MJC and its India policy. I take stock of four developments, and analyse the risks and opportunities arising out of these developments for the MJC, and hence to India.Development #1: The MJC’s External Benefactors Have ChangedEarlier, the MJC’s adventures were bankrolled indirectly by the US and directly by Saudi Arabia. Those days are long gone. The most important financier for the MJC now is China. Risks and opportunities for IndiaThe most prominent risk is that because the MJC is dependent on PRC like never before, and both are adversarial to India, it will continue to hurt Indian interests in order to prove its relevance to PRC. The opportunity for India is that as PRC and MJC come closer, it will be easier to expose the structural flaws in their unequal relationship. As PRC increases its influence in Pakistan’s economy, nationalist forces (and even sections of the MJC) are likely to create fault lines between the two countries. Countermeasures and Preparedness India should prepare to face a diplomatic offensive of the MJC-PRC combine at various multilateral fora over Kashmir. Closer ties with the US, Japan, Australia and France are important to tackle this offensive. India also needs to be prepared for a rise in infiltration attempts and terrorist activity in Kashmir. As a countermeasure, India’s messaging should aim to accentuate the underlying cultural, social, and economic differences between China and Pakistan in order to reduce the flow of capital from PRC to the MJC. The weaker the MJC’s external benefactor, the more constrained it will be. Development #2: The US-Taliban Peace AgreementThe MJC has played a major role in steering and pressuring the Afghan Taliban to sign this agreement. In the process, it managed to partially repair flailing ties with the US. More importantly, it made major headway in its long-cherished aim of installing a pliant government in Kabul. Risks and opportunities for IndiaThe acceptance of the Taliban as a legitimate political force by the US is a moral and material victory for the MJC. The US-Taliban peace agreement is a tangible result for its policy of sustained terrorism in Afghanistan. Even a partial withdrawal of the US on the Taliban’s—and by extension, the MJC’s—terms will reaffirm the MJC’s faith in using terrorism as state policy. It might then apply this lesson to double down on terrorism against India as well. India’s economic and diplomatic footprint will reduce in the short term. A case in point is the MJC’s attempt to designate four Indian nationals in Afghanistan under the UN 1267 Sanctions List accusing them of spreading terrorism in Pakistan.Another risk is the MJC relocating its terror networks to Loya Paktika in eastern Afghanistan, a hotbed of anti-India activities in the past. This would allow the MJC to use terrorism against India while claiming that it has driven terrorists out of Pakistan. The long-term opportunity for India is that as the US reduces its presence, Pakistan will be left with the unenviable task of managing the volatile situation in Afghanistan. It will be drawn into the seemingly irreconcilable differences in the Afghanistan polity. If a civil war-like situation erupts, the MJC will be left with more problems in its hands. Countermeasures and Preparedness India needs to be prepared for a scenario in which the MJC attempts to eliminate all Indian presence in Afghanistan. India must act to help its friends, not just in northern Afghanistan but also in the anti-Taliban forces in the south. At the same time, India would need to look at opening links, if not already done, with sections of the Taliban that do not want to be beholden to the MJC’s control. Finally, India’s focus in Afghanistan over the long-term should shift towards eliminating Pakistan-backed terrorist outfits’ relocation to eastern Afghanistan. Development #3: India’s Revocation of the Special Status of Jammu and KashmirGiven how invested the MJC has been in fomenting trouble in J&K, it is unlikely to take the abrogation of Article 370 lying down. Any action in Kashmir helps the MJC prove its relevance to the Pakistani society in the short-term. Hence, it would be eager to use this situation to further destabilise J&K and spread unrest elsewhere in India citing India’s move as the reason. Risks and opportunities for IndiaThe MJC is likely to continue with its policy of abetment of civil disobedience and violent protests. It will continue to support cross-border terrorism and might even resume a new insurgency against the Indian State by creating new outfits. The MJC would also want to revive insurgencies in other parts of India. Finally, India will face diplomatic offensive from PRC and Pakistan in the coming months over this move. The opportunity for India arising out of this development is a chance to change the nature of the social contract of Kashmiris with the Indian state once and for all. Previous attempts at growth and prosperity in Kashmir were opposed by fundamentalists who saw these as attempts to change the demographic character of the Kashmir valley. The change in the special status of J&K allows India to ignore such calls and bring economic opportunities to Kashmir. Preparedness and countermeasures One, India needs to shift to a surgical and “smart” Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) approach whose provisions can be limited in time and space. A change in the AFSPA will signal New Delhi’s bona fides and invite Kashmiri political leaders to reciprocate. Second, the Government of India should opt for marginal, and not maximal response. It should reverse the damage done to the morale of the J&K police. It should lift the communications blockade and allow public protests and demonstrations to resume as these outlets are key to reducing the importance of the MJC as the prime influencer. Third, India can consider deploying a Special Task Force of highly capable middle-level civil servants from across India for a period of three years to restore broken governance delivery systems. With COVID-19, the tourism economy of Kashmir has been severely hit. This could make the young more vulnerable to the MJC’s machinations. Hence it is important for India to find livelihood alternatives. One way to do that is to create Priority Development Areas for the promotion of agro-processing, premium bottled water, and premium handicrafts. In the Jammu plains, the government could invite investors in contract farming. Bringing in international expertise in this space would also be a positive step. Next, India needs to develop a strategic communication plan to defeat false and competing narratives generated by the MJC. Finally, conducting local and assembly elections in the medium term to restart the political machinery and reverting J&K to a full state under the Republic of India after announcing elections will take off the edge from the MJC’s misinformation campaigns. As a direct countermeasure, India should draw the world’s attention to the atrocities the MJC has unleashed in FATA. The Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM) — a protest movement poses a unique challenge to the MJC because of its mass support base and a nonviolent character. This movement has the potential to seriously challenge the MJC and India’s efforts in Pakistan should be to align with the Pashtun cause. The Baloch insurgency by itself is too weak to change the power equations in Islamabad. Development #4: Pakistan’s economic downturnThis weak domestic economy, coupled with the MJC’s diminished inability to extract from its external benefactors, also affects the MJC’s fortunes. It is now forced to look inwards and corner more resources for itself. Risks and opportunities for IndiaA weakened economy reduces the range of options available to the MJC and makes some elements of it risk-averse. This means that the MJC will continue to rely on low-cost asymmetric options such as terrorism to hurt India. Abetting and sponsoring terrorism in areas with active insurgencies, both in Afghanistan and India are likely to continue. The opportunity for India is that a weak economy puts the MJC squarely against forces opposed to it. For instance, the Pakistani Army has been opposing a reform for a fair division of financial resources between the federal and provincial governments. This offers an opportunity for India because this fight over economic resources has a powerful ethnic dimension. Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Balochistan — all three provinces that stood to gain from the 18th constitutional amendment see this controversy as another attempt by the overwhelmingly Punjabi Pakistani Army to amass resources at their cost. Preparedness and countermeasures Whenever the MJC’s popularity declines in Pakistan, tensions with India allow it to regain lost ground. So, India should be prepared to face new asymmetric warfare attempts. To further constrain the MJC, India should utilise the FATF mechanism and press upon the member countries that Pakistan still remains a hotbed of institutionalised terror activity. FATF grey-listing will make capital inflows difficult in an already investment-starved economy. Finally, studies to expose how the MJC corners economic resources of the Pakistani state might also help manufacture a public opinion within Pakistan that questions the MJC. The lynchpin of the MJC, the Pakistani Army, is still the most trusted institution in Pakistan. To get the two Pakistans to lock horns with each other, a public narrative needs to be built exposing the extractive nature of the MJC. After discussing these four developments, I end with the warning that the extent to which India can deploy these countermeasure options is limited by its own domestic situation. For one, a weak economy means that India will become cautious in exercising options that demand considerable resources. Secondly, the communally charged domestic narrative that the Citizenship Amendment Act has unleashed allows the MJC to reciprocally exploit fissures in Indian society. Conversely, a fast-growing economy and a stable, peaceful society will allow India to exploit a wider range of options to tackle the MJC. The full paper can be read here. India Policy Watch: That Tanishq AdInsights on burning policy issues in India— RSJTanishq, a Tata company, withdrew its latest ad for its new collection titled ‘Ekatvam’ (“oneness”) after #boycottTanishq trended on Twitter. The ad featured a pregnant Hindu woman being surprised by her Muslim mother-in-law who had organised an elaborate traditional Hindu baby shower ceremony for her. This was a generic feel-good ad that’s a staple during the festive season. The Hindu-Muslim angle is one of the more tried and tested variants of this genre. No one was shown in any bad light and Suraj Barjatya would have been proud of its cloying storyline. Yet, There Was Outrage There were three reasons for the outrage depending on the sophistry of people being outraged. First, the ad was seen as an attempt to normalise ‘love jihad’ – a belief that Muslim men are being trained and supported by forces inimical to India to woo Hindu girls and marry them in a ‘fresh’ attempt to colonise India. The government in parliament has denied its existence. It doesn’t require a lot of common sense to see through the lack of logic of this notion. That Muslim men will organise themselves to colonise India one Hindu girl at a time seems like a lot of effort with many low probability events to come through. Love in India doesn’t bloom easily even among the young of the same caste and community. ‘Love marriages’ still account for less than seven per cent all marriages. There’s no proof that Muslim men are being trained on some kind of finishing school that specialises in wooing techniques. Importantly, this assumes Hindu girls to be devoid of any agency of their own to decide who to fall in love with and marry. Despite these obvious logical flaws, the narrative around ‘love jihad’ has built up over the years. The Muslim stars of Bollywood who have Hindu wives are often indirectly cited as role models for Muslim boys. As an aside, generations of Muslim female actors have married Hindu men over the years in Bollywood (from Nargis, Mumtaz, Zarina Wahab to Sonam). Any incident of a Hindu girl falling in love with a Muslim boy is used as an example of ‘love jihad’ and played up. The parents of girls in India live with multiple anxieties regarding their safety, well-being and marriage even in this day and age. This is unfortunate. To such paranoia, it isn’t too difficult to add ‘love jihad’. The second lot of outragers followed good, old whataboutery. Their contention: if the ad was serious about Hindu-Muslim amity, it should have reversed the roles. The girl should have been Muslim in a Hindu household. Apparently, this would have triggered massive Muslim protests, violence and liberal outrage about Hindus cornering the minorities and obliterating their identity and customs. This is all too easy to puncture. There have been films galore in the past two decades that have stereotyped Muslim jihadi villains without much of an outrage. In fact, Indian popular culture is replete with stereotypical Muslims – from a do-gooder neighbour, to a pir or, of late, a radical or a jihadi – without much of a reaction from the community. It is a bit specious to believe a reversal of roles would have meant trouble.Lastly, there are those who have accused Tanishq of being too ‘woke’ for their own good. The argument is they should focus on selling jewellery and stay from ‘social causes’ that they don’t have an idea about. These aren’t compelling arguments. Consumer brands draw from the society to shape their communications. They research behaviour pattern, track changing social mores, and take stock of the attitudes and values prevalent in the society on an ongoing basis. No wonder advertisements often capture the zeitgeist earlier than other forms of popular culture – from yeh dil maange more to kitna deti hai. To accuse them of not understanding ground realities is rich. The point on being too ‘woke’ doesn’t merit any discussion. Any decent or noble thought can be dissed as one these days. Despite the flimsy outrage, Tanishq withdrew the ad:"This film has stimulated divergent and severe reactions, contrary to its very objective. We are deeply saddened with the inadvertent stirring of emotions and withdraw this film keeping in mind the hurt sentiments and well being of our employees, partners and store staff," That a group like Tata, a model corporate citizen with long years of service to the nation under its belt, could capitulate to online trolls and withdraw an ad that promoted harmony triggered another cycle of outrage. Well, a day in the life of India on Twitter. This Is DifferentThe outrage, Tanishq’s reaction to it and its aftermath represent a distinct shift from the past. There’s something to learn from them about where we are as a polity now. In this instance, we are in what can be termed the post-narrative phase engineered by the so-called cultural right-wing. Something nebulous like ‘love jihad’ has been crystallised over the past few years through multiple stories, myths and fake outrage. It even turned into a minor election issue in UP sometime back. Now this myth is so firmly established that its veracity isn’t in question. The reason for outrage instead is the ‘normalisation’ of it. That it is the ‘truth’ is already established. We are in the world beyond it. This will give a fillip to other such myths (multiple wives, high fertility rates to name two) that abound in this space. Sudarshan TV had recently run a programme titled UPSC jihad that alleged a conspiracy by the same elements who ran love jihad to now infiltrate the civil services in India. The Supreme Court had to intervene. But the seed has been sown. Now every time a Muslim candidate clears the UPSC test, expect UPSC jihad conspiracy theory to be revived. The trajectory for the future has been established. This apart, the outrage will deepen the ‘chilling effect’ in media and popular culture. The takedown of the Tanishq ad represents a win for a modus operandi that’s become common across the world – employ numerous bots to get the flywheel of outrage going, the flywheel then attracts others with imagined grievances or hate, it soon trends on social media that in turn creates fear of repercussions for the brand or the individual. Soon, they capitulate. From cancel culture on the left to right-wing conspiracy theories, this approach is a winner. It will take enormous courage for a brand or a film director to contemplate an inter-faith script in future. Lastly, there is something particularly odious about this outrage. There have been protests against ads, books or films in the past because of the alleged disrespect shown to a religion or a community. From banning The Satanic Verses, renaming a film Padmavat to not using Chattrapati Maharaj before Shivaji, the grievance is always about an insult – real or mostly imagined. This is the first case where the grievance is about harmony. It is about the alleged sinister machination underpinning this harmony. This is new and a significant step in the process of ‘othering’ where even coming together of communities cannot be countenanced. Something to reflect on for every right-thinking Indian.PolicyWTFs: The Tax Base ProblemThis section looks at egregious public policies. Policies that make you go: WTF, Did that really happen?— Pranay KotasthaneTax Revenue = Tax Base * Tax RateThis simple equation implies that when revenues need to be raised, governments can do three things: raise the tax rate, increase the number of people paying the tax, or do both. However, in low state-capacity democracies like India, governments always seem to pick the first option. After all, it is always easier and faster for the governments to charge the same people more by increasing the tax rate than get more people to pay by increasing the tax base.Following on, be prepared for calls to raise tax rates across the board. State and city government finances have gone for a toss due to COVID-19 and the union government’s chicanery on GST. They now have no other option but to raise their own revenues. Enter the dragon: tax rate hikes.For instance, in Bengaluru, the local government is contemplating an increase of 15 to 30 per cent in property tax rates. On the surface, targeting property tax collections is prudent. The Economic Survey 2016-17 claimed that Bengaluru was collecting just a fifth of its property tax potential. Moreover, property taxes are paid by residents and hence this tax has a higher linkage compared to other taxes, between those who pay, those who benefit, and those who decide. Where the government is getting it wrong is that instead of increasing the property tax base, tax rates are being hiked. Even if we ignore the ethical dimension given the pandemic, hiking rates is counterproductive. There is a negative correlation between tax rates and tax base i.e. high tax rates disincentivise people from paying taxes and create a parallel tax-avoidance economy in turn. The tax-avoidance economy is lucrative for the revenue collectors as well — higher the rates, higher the number of evaders willing to pay a lower amount bribe to them.Whether it’s property tax rates or GST, the same policyWTF is repeated: first, a new tax gets levied with a low tax-base but a high tax rate. Next, the already high tax-rate is increased steadily because the tax base is low and finally, when increasing rates is no longer enough, raising the tax base is contemplated.The approach should be the reverse. Every new tax should aim to cover the largest number of people first through extremely low tax rates. Once that’s done, technology should be used to prevent underpayment. Finally, tax rates can be revised incrementally. We are a long way off this ideal and we don’t seem to be learning even in this crisis.

Long lauded as the father of animated film, Walt Disney is a household name throughout the United States. Seldom does an American family evade Disney's legacy today, thanks to the 1,000+ movies that he produced and wildly popular resorts that he built over his 33-year career. But many Americans nonetheless remain unaware of the religious motivations behind Disney's career, as well as Disney's vital role in amplifying the then-fledgling Christian Right that continues to influence political life today.

Additional charges were filed against Derek Chauvin, the other three officers involved in the attempted arrest and death of George Floyd have been arrested and charged. The Medical Examiners office updated its provisional autopsy report. When I get asked to talk about what I think might happen in this case I look for context from other similar cases. In Minneapolis Minnesota there is one, the death of Justine Ruszcyk who was shot and killed by officer Mohamad Noor in July 2017. This episode breaks down the new Second Degree Murder Charge, the Aiding and Abetting charge against the other officers, and the killing of Justine Ruszcyk.

Keith Ellison-- is misleading this entire country. He only increased the charges because of the American Out Cry. Never before has a Murdered Black Man murdered by the police, caused an out cry that is being acted out in over 18 different countries. So of course, he had to take action. But his actions describes himself and the way this Countries justice (just-us) system views us, simultaneously. The charges show he is scared or following orders. The evidence that would play in front of a 12 person jury is enough to convict anybody of first degree murder. If two ppl were fighting in the street and if one kneeled on the others neck for 9 minutes, that would had been an easy first degree murder charge. But, because he was a police officer, who was so important that the tax payers are paying alot of money for the amount of officers that was and still posted in front of his house, he shouldn't face first degree murder charges like a regular US citizen would? The United States Justice System does not feel a White former police officer should get life for killing a Black Man. But if George Floyd killed Derek Chauvin by kneeling on his neck, he surely would had gotten the needle. Even if Derek wasn't a police officer, he still may have gotten the needle for killing a White Man so callously. Yet, this piece of shit, who has already shot and killed a few people during his 18 years on the force, only gets second degree murder charges. Keith Ellison, bring your Love Boat looking ass over herrrre, boy! Fuck is wrong with you slim? For one, in just the video, how do you lack any elements of first degree murder. His Pre- Meditation didn't have to happen before he arrived on the scene. His Pre- Meditation began when he kneeled on his neck and didn't get up for close to 9 minutes. Six minutes of kneeling on Mr. Floyd's neck, his body goes limp. By Chauvin not getting up clearly reinforces his intent to kill. This shit is simple. His White Life is worth more than George Floyd's life? That's what I felt when I heard the charges. I really cringed at the charges you lodged against the other three chumps. Aiding and Abetting is when one intentionally aids one to committ a crime. In this incident, they assisted an officer making an arrest and allowed him to take charge of his arrest. That's what them whores will say and win in court. They didn't aid and abet. Those charges won't even make it to trial. They flimsy as hell bruh. They should be charged with second degree murder. They intentionally allowed one of their own officers kneel on a handcuffed suspect neck for 9 minutes. From their training, they knew he was going to die. That's second degree murder. Not no weak ass aiding and Abetting. Do you know what felony murder is. When one can catch a murder case if a felony was being done. A body drops during an armed robbery, that's felony murder. So, if four of us went to rob a spot and you kill the owner without my involvement, I will still get charged with the murder. The same applies to this incident. All was involved in his death all need to be held accountable for his death. And Keith Ellison, you know this. Black Man. You a fucking coward and I'm livid that you would attempt to mis lead this country. Black Man, George Floyd may be just another nigga to you, but he was loved by many, before this incident. Why would you not charge three officers with murder, manslaughter, but aiding and Abetting like they had no role in Mr. George's death. That's some bitch ass shit. If four Black Men were on the scene of a White Man being killed by one guy, tell me all of those Black Men wouldn't have some type of charge holding them responsible for a death occuring in their presence. Why are you not holding Police Officers to that same standard. You bullshitting Black. Up those charges and get REAL JUSTICE FOR FLOYD!!!! Thank You again for everybody that has taken up this battle!! Listen to my next Podcast where I call everybody to ARMS AND WHY
Additional officers are charged in the death of George Floyd. The Secretary of Defense openly disagrees with President Trump about deploying the military on US soil, while a former secretary piles on. And the RNC appears to be moving its big moment away from North Carolina because of orders to scale down.

Hilary talks to Ava Mendoza about sedans, music store paranoia, and the nuances of being “you go girl”-ed. AVA'S BIO AVA MENDOZA is a Brooklyn-based guitarist, singer, songwriter and composer. Born in 1983, she started performing her own music, and as a sidewoman and collaborator in many different projects, as soon as she was legally allowed into clubs. As a guitarist, Mendoza has received acclaim for her technique and viscerality. Her most ongoing work is as leader of experimental rock band Unnatural Ways, and as a solo performer on guitar/voice. In any context she is committed to bringing expressivity, energy and a wide sonic range to the music. Mendoza has toured throughout the U.S. and Europe and recorded/performed with musicians including Carla Bozulich, Fred Frith, Adele Bertei, Malcolm Mooney, Steve Shelley, Mike Watt, Ikue Mori, Mick Barr, William Hooker, Nels Cline, John Zorn, Jamaaladeen Tacuma, William Parker, Hamid Drake, Matt Mitchell, Jon Irabagon, Matana Roberts, members of Caroliner, ROVA, Negativland, the Violent Femmes, and more. Recordings are available on labels Tzadik, Astral Spirits, Weird Forest, Clean Feed, Resipiscent, and New Atlantis. Friendly critics have quoted: “It's… Ava Mendoza's deconstructing of blues and punk into brutal shredfests that's causing a ruckus in NYC's DIY hubs” (Brad Cohan, Noisey.Vice). “A wizard on a semi-circle of effects pedals, but… equally adept with FX-less technique," (Lars Gotrich, NPR). "Mendoza plays these songs. She makes them sing. Her technique is impeccable, but her playing is astonishingly expressive. She doesn't just bend blue notes; she wads them up into a ball and throws them up against a wall... Mendoza knows what she does better than almost anyone else on the planet, which is tell stories with her guitar." (Aiding & Abetting). She was featured as one of Guitar World‘s “10 Female Guitarists You Should Know”.

His most recent book is How to Rig an Election. In September 2019, The Washington Post featured Klaas’s widely-read op-ed “Everyone knows the 2020 election will be divisive. But will it also be violent?” Klaas explains will there be violence if Donald Trump is removed from office? He also explores such questions as how is Donald Trump and his regime weakening the United States abroad and by doing so encouraging global chaos including the possibility of a regional or world war? What types of reforms would prevent a person and group such as Donald Trump and his Republican Party from taking power in the United States again? And if Donald Trump is reelected in 2020 will American democracy survive? WHERE CAN YOU FIND ME?

If you want a glimpse of a dystopian future in which authoritarian leaders harness the power of social media to carry out human rights abuses and suppress their political opponents, you need to look no further than the Philippines today. There are few countries in the world as hyper connected on Facebook as the Philippines. And here, President Rodrigo Duterte and his allies are using Facebook to advance their so-called war on drugs which has resulted in the deaths of thousands of people, mostly through extra-judicial killings. All the while, so called Facebook "influencers" are spreading false information -- even a faked pornographic image to undermine leaders in the Philippines who are critical of Duterte. It is a nightmare situation and one in which Facebook is an accomplice. On the line with me to discuss the deleterious effect of Facebook on democracy in the Philippines is Davey Alba. She is a reporter with Buzzfeed who wrote a deeply reported longform article examining the mechanics of how Duterte and his allies have harnessed Facebook to advance an authoritarian agenda while undermining domestic political opposition. Facebook has very much become a tool of Duterte's drug war and what is happening in the Philippines right now should serve as a warning about Facebook's potential to undermine democracy.

According to Presidents John Kennedy and Ronald Reagan, the United States is a shining “city upon a hill." It’s a beacon of democracy in a dark world full of cruel dictators and vicious despots. But history shows the United States has also been willing to side with despots in the name of stability.This week on War College, we talk to Brian Klaas, a Oxford University graduate and expert on political violence, about his new book – The Despot’s Accomplice: How the West is Aiding and Abetting the Decline of Democracy.According to Klaas, powerful countries should stop forcing democracy down the throats of their less stable counterparts and avoid settling for despots to achieve stability. He makes the case for co-opting the rank-and-file of old regimes into new ones to prevent state collapse, and for using measured military force and foreign aid money to coax tyrants out of power. Plus, he explores “counterfeit democracies,” and a new city upon a hill in West Africa: The Gambia. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The Chat in The Hat keeps the Chat cave light-hearted this week with cults and confessions of murder.
The United States and its coalition allies have perpetrated serious violations of international law including the breaching of the UN Charter and multiple violations of the Geneva Conventions, the US Army Field manual, and the Hague Conventions. [1] Over 600,000 civilians are estimated to have died as a direct consequence of US President George W. Bush's war against Iraq and its mythical ‘weapons of mass destruction.' [2] Depleted Uranium munitions has caused birth defects on a massive scale, and will plague this ancient civilization for millennia to come. Amply documented, torture was employed by US troops under the authorization of US Officials like Vice President Richard Cheney, who comes to Canada in late October. This installment of the Global Research News Hour features a look at US and allied war crimes and more particularly, the need for accountability for those crimes. Denis Halliday is the former UN Humanitarian Coordinator in Iraq ( September 1, 1997 until 1998.) He resigned from a 34 year career at the United nations in protest to what he saw as the ‘genocidal' economic sanctions carried out against the Iraqi people through the UN Security Council. Halliday is intensely critical of the UN for aiding and abetting the US and UK in their criminal aggression of 2003 and beyond. He is also critical of the World Health Organization for likewise assisting the imperial Western Giants by suppressing its own report on the effects of the use by US forces of Depleted Uranium on the Iraqi civilian population. He outlines in this interview what he thinks the UN could have done, and still can do, to restore some credibility. Denis Halliday has been an occasional contributor to Global Research. This is his first interview for the Global Research News Hour. Some soldiers such as Staff Sergeant Camilo Mejía and Joshua Key did their duty under international law and refused to return to service in the Iraq War. Professor Francis Boyle is a professor of international law at the University of Illinois College of Law and an internationally recognized expert in his field. In 2007, Boyle publicly denounced what he called the “ongoing criminal activities perpetrated by the Bush Jr. administration and its nefarious foreign accomplices in allied governments such as in Britain, Australia, Japan, South Korea, Georgia, etc.” Boyle is the author of Protesting Power: War, Resistance, and Law. He will explain the legal obligations of countries like the US and Canada to respect the right of soldiers to refuse to participate in this war. While the Canadian government is turning away Iraq War resisters, they are welcoming credibly accused Iraq war criminals into the country. Mere weeks before Vice- President Cheney is to give a speech in Toronto, we will hear from Gail Davidson of Lawyers Against The War about the legal obligation of the Canadian government to deny the former Vice President admittance into Canada or place him under arrest upon entry. Be sure to check out the Global Research Iraq War Reader for more in depth coverage of US/NATO War Crimes in Iraq.
