------------------------------------------------------------
By Peter Castagno on Apr 11, 2020 02:00 pm

The Saudi regime has engaged in a number of questionable activities since the global outbreak of COVID-19, including moving masses of African refugees deported from areas with coronavirus to the Yemeni border. (By: Ahmed Abdulkareem, Mintpress News) Thursday proved to be a tragic day for internally displaced people in the Al-Mazraq Refugee Camp in Yemen’s [...]

“It was the Africa I dreamed of when I was 10 and fell in love with Tarzan,” said primatologist and anthropologist Jane Goodall in a recent interview with CNN’s Becky Anderson. “I left Gombe, my chimpanzee study, in 1986, having realized that chimpanzees and forests were vanishing across Africa, and realizing I needed to do something. And part of that was going around the planet, talking about those problems and learning more at the same time about what we've done to harm this planet. The crazy thing,” Goodall said, “is the biggest difference between us, chimps and other creatures is the explosive development of the intellect. So how come the most intellectual creature ever to walk the planet is destroying its only home?”

** “They’re Crooks”: Coal Industry Aims to Exploit Coronavirus Crisis to Cut Payments to Miners With Black Lung ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
By Guest Post on Apr 11, 2020 09:00 am
[link removed]
Coal companies are “going to try to use this virus thing to stop paying benefits,” warned one retired miner suffering from black lung. (By: Jake Johnson, Common Dreams) Some of the largest coal companies in the United States are using the coronavirus crisis to pressure Congress to slash the tax that finances the Black Lung [...]

** How the Cuban Peoples’ Fight Against Colonialism Prepared It for the Coronavirus ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

Bill Cosby was always a rapist monster. That much, hindsight and evidence make clear. Still, moored in our “Me Too” moment, it’s easy to forget how profound and influential the man, and the network smash hit, The Cosby Show, once was. Much beloved—though he long had critics—“America’s Dad” had a global fanbase. Furthermore, with his sitcom’s socio-political undertones, Cosby then seemed [...]

** Colombia’s Government Acts Like a Doormat for the United States—and Its People Aren’t Going Along With It ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
By Vijay Prashad Paola Estrada Ana Maldonado and Zoe PC on Apr 10, 2020 05:00 pm
[link removed]
Last year, on November 21, the Colombian people took to the streets in massive numbers to reject the policies of the government led by President Iván Duque. In particular, the people called on the government to withdraw two policies. First, the people wanted the right-wing government of Duque to advance the 2016 peace accords between the government [...]

“Taxpayers shouldn’t be required to backstop oil and gas companies that were already in trouble prior to the pandemic.” (By: Eoin Higgins, Common Dreams) Climate advocates are slamming banking interests after a report Thursday revealed that JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, and Citigroup are planning to take over distressed oil and gas companies [...]

** Covid-19 Threatens the Future of Saudi Arabia As Over 100 Royals Test Positive ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
By Catherine Shakdam on Apr 10, 2020 11:00 am
[link removed]
“Most royals are at severe risks of developing complications – poor diet, lack of exercise, age, all those factors play against many members of the monarchy I’m afraid. Evidently daily gatherings, outings and the coming and going of servants is making quarantine a logistical nightmare. The virus could spread at lightning speed unless drastic measures [...]

** Could COVID-19 Bring Down the U.S. Empire? ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
By Medea Benjamin and Nicolas J. S. Davies on Apr 10, 2020 10:00 am
[link removed]
As U.S. COVID-19 cases double every few days and the death toll mounts, the U.S. seems to be caught in a “worst of both worlds” predicament: daily life and much of the U.S. economy is shut down, but no real progress has been achieved in its efforts to contain or eradicate the virus. Meanwhile, the [...]

[link removed]
The principal deputy assistant secretary at the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs (SCA) in the U.S. State Department, Alice Wells, dropped a bombshell on the Afghan government and the country’s political elites on April 4—and caught the international donors by surprise, too—by linking all aid to Afghanistan to the formation of an inclusive [...]

By Guest Post on Apr 10, 2020 05:00 am
[link removed]
The silence from the media’s loudest #MeToo champions has been deafening. There has been exactly zero coverage of sexual allegations against Joe Biden on CNBC, CNN, MSNBC, ABC or CBS. Likewise, The New York Times and USA Today and have failed to discuss it. (By: Alan Macleod, Mintpress News) Have you heard about the Joe [...]

** In a Dark Time, The Eye Begins To See ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
By John Bos on Apr 09, 2020 07:27 pm
[link removed]
No business as usual. Usual is no more. Except for the unmasked reality of how we got to this moment at this time in our lives. Where are we now, you may ask? I would answer you by saying we are simply and unavoidably at where we were heading before COVID 19 arrived. It gave us a kick in the ass that has booted us down into the basement to shelter in place until the “new normal” goes away and we get back to the “old normal.” Unregulated capitalism has been pushing us toward this new normal for decades. Our willful national unpreparedness to respond to any pandemic has simply kicked the crutches out from under our crippled leadership.

“We are particularly troubled that Mr. Kushner’s work may even involve ‘directing FEMA and HHS officials to prioritize specific requests from people who are able to get Kushner on the phone.’” White House Senior Advisor Jared Kushner has put his peace plan for the Middle East on hold to help coordinate the White House’s coronavirus [...]
