** When Corporate Power Is Your Real Government, Corporate Media Is State Media ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
By Caitlin Johnstone on Aug 01, 2020 02:00 pm

The New York Times published an astonishingly horrible article the other day titled “Latin America Is Facing a ‘Decline of Democracy’ Under the Pandemic” accusing governments like Venezuela and Nicaragua of exploiting Covid-19 to quash opposition and oppress democracy. The article sources its jarringly propagandistic claims in multiple US government-funded narrative management operations like the Wilson Center and the National Endowment [...]

Indigenous peoples are calling for an immediate moratorium on extraction from the Amazon. (Common Dreams) Since I was a child in the 1980’s I have heard calls to protect the Amazon. I remember watching videos of massive trees being cut down, soil washed away, and areas of lush forest burnt and cleared. I was told [...]

The coronavirus pandemic has allowed us to conduct an experiment on how government assistance is good for people and the economy. When Congress passed the CARES Act earlier this year, lawmakers gave some low-wage Americans who lost their jobs an income they’ve been demanding for years: $600 a week, which works out to $15 an [...]

Microbes do not recognize borders. We are all safe only when everybody is safe. In a pandemic, to attack the only body we have for global cooperation endangers everyone. That is why the U.S. withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO) is dangerous not only for the United States, but for all of the world. [...]

The deal is for 100 million doses of a vaccine manufactured by Sanofi, [...]

We must take these public health choices out of the hands of corporate executives and put corporations in their proper place: subservient to public welfare. (Common Dreams) Should constitutional rights be used to shield corporations from hiding their dangerous products from the public? A recent federal court decision says so. Monsanto is the maker of [...]

“Powerful people actively manipulate public understanding of what’s going on in the world because if the public understood what’s going on in the world, they would rise up and use their strength of numbers to overthrow the powerful.” Narrative is crumbling. (Caitlin Johnstone) It’s difficult to understand what’s going on in the world. It’s difficult [...]

We should not fool ourselves: It could happen here. (Common Dreams) On Sept. 11, 1973, I was living in a shantytown on the outskirts of Santiago, Chile. That morning, one of my roommates, a Chilean journalist, unexpectedly returned home. “The military just bombed my radio station,” she said. “There’s a military coup.” What we had [...]
