With No End in Sight, Israel's Election Soap Opera Rages On

The Israeli election process, like a bad soap opera, has been going on for many months now with no end in sight, and precisely like a poorly made soap opera, the squabbling, blaming, threatening, scare tactics and mudslinging have lead to nothing. | The Boss: | Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, assumed to be the "Boss" of Israeli politics, seems to have lost his touch. In two consecutive elections, he was unable to win a majority or form a coalition government. | The rise of a united opposition to run against him led by former IDF generals — who by the way at one point or another served him — is…

Explaining Trump's Racism

"Is Trump a racist?" I have two answers to that question.

For example, at times the media has focused on whether or not they could prove Trump had ever used the N-word, as…

Washington's Consensus on Neofascist Coups in Latin America
Paul Street | counterpunch.org | 2019-11-22
The Obama-backed right-wing coup in Honduras helped fuel Central American migrant streams that the demented fascist oligarch Donald Trump railed against during his successful and Nativist presidential campaign. "Donito Assolini" has been mired in partisan turmoil since the beginning of his cancerous, white-nationalist presidency. The two major parties and their constituents disagree sharply over whether the tiny-fingered, tangerine-tinted, Twitter-tantruming tyrant Trump should be impeached and removed for trying to trade arms to Ukraine in exchange for political dirt on the ludicrous right-wing Democratic-presid…

JFK: What the CIA Hides
Jefferson Morley | counterpunch.org | 2019-11-22
My own JFK questions involve George Joannides, a decorated undercover officer who served as branch chief in the Miami station in 1963. He ran psychological warfare operations against Cuba. In 2003, I sued the CIA for Joannides' files. The lawsuit ended 15 years later in July 2018, when Judge Brett Kavanaugh, in his last opinion before ascending to the Supreme Court, tossed my case. Kavanaugh declared the agency deserved "deference upon deference" in its handling of Freedom of Information Act requests about JFK files.

Congress Just Temporarily Extended the Government's Spying Powers
