Who is Rwanda’s Real Hero? Paul Kagame or Paul Rusesabagina?
Ann Garrison | Black Agenda Report – TRANSCEND Media Service, 5 Oct 2020

30 Sep 2020 – What Kagame has done to Rusesabagina, of Hotel Rwanda fame, embarrasses the US foreign policy establishment that has lionized his brutal regime for so long. “Rusesabagina is a longtime critic of Kagame’s regime and its catastrophic war on the Congolese people and the Rwandan refugee population.”

In this age of arm-chair reporters, he stood out for his boldness and indefatigable courage. He told it straight.

Beware the Transhumanists: How ‘Being Human’ Is Being Re-Engineered by the Elite’s Coup
Robert J. Burrowes, Ph.D. – TRANSCEND Media Service, 28 Sep 2020

In the elegant words of South African liberation activist Steve Biko: “The most potent weapon of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed.” When he uttered these words before being tortured to death in an Apartheid prison, Biko presumably did not realize the profound meaning they would acquire in 2020. The transhuman mind will be owned and controlled by the oppressor. If we are to avert this fate, we must struggle with clarity and purpose.

What’s the Difference between ‘Villain’ Assange and ‘Intrepid’ Woodward?
Lee Camp | Consortium News - TRANSCEND Media Service, 28 Sep 2020

23 Sep 2020 – The completely fair super awesome trial of Julian Assange is a beautiful blend of the works of Kafka, Stalin and Joseph Heller. The next time you see a mainstream-media talking-head fawn over Woodward, just remember that if they had any backbone, any moral core, they would be fawning over Assange instead.

The Dying Planet Report 2020
Robert Hunziker | Pressenza - TRANSCEND Media Service, 28 Sep 2020

24 Sep 2020 – The World Wildlife Foundation, in collaboration with the Zoological Society of London, recently issued an eye-popping description of the forces of humanity versus life in nature, the Living Planet Report 2020, but the report should really be entitled the Dying Planet Report 2020 because that’s what’s happening in the real world.

Julian Assange: Press Shows Little Interest in Media ‘Trial of Century’
Alan MacLeod | FAIR Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting – TRANSCEND Media Service, 28 Sep 2020

25 Sep 2020 – Labeled the media “trial of the century,” WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange’s extradition hearing is currently taking place in London—although you might not have heard if you’re relying solely on corporate media for news. If extradited, Assange faces 175 years in a Colorado supermax prison, often described as a “black site” on US soil.

The End of Reality?
Edward Curtin – TRANSCEND Media Service, 21 Sep 2020

So, if you feel you also may be going insane in the present climate of digital screen life, where real is unreal but realer than real, the apparent is cryptic, and up is down, true is false, and what you see you don’t, it has a history. One hundred and thirty-two years ago, Nietzsche added that “something extraordinarily nasty and evil is about to make its debut.” We know it did.

Tech Titans and Censorship—the Same People Profiting from the Quarantine Are Censoring Criticisms of It
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr | Children’s Health Defense – TRANSCEND Media Service, 14 Sep 2020

11 Sep 2020 – The same bloated Tech/Data and Telecom Titans now gorging themselves on the corpses of our obliterated middle class are rapidly transforming America’s once proud democracy into a censorship and surveillance police state. They used the lockdown to accelerate construction of their 5G network of satellites, antennae, biometric facial recognition, and “track and trace” infrastructure that they will use to compel obedience and suppress dissent.

Appropriator Financial Fabric, the Case of BlackRock
Roberto Sansón Mizrahi | Opinion Sur - TRANSCEND Media Service, 14 Sep 2020

25 Aug 2020 – Intricate and extended fabrics of economic organizations that appropriate good part of the surplus generated by the productive effort of humanity proliferate in the world today. These fabrics have their epicenter in central countries but their tentacles reach every place in the world. They are able to leap on profitable opportunities as well as to retract with no losses when circumstances change. The case of the fabric articulated by BlackRock and its impacts.

Pepe Escobar | Consortium News - TRANSCEND Media Service, 14 Sep 2020

Trotsky’s Last Year – Part 6 (final)
David North | WSWS - TRANSCEND Media Service, 14 Sep 2020

Why had the 1917 Revolution in Russia been followed by the defeats of the working class in Italy, China, Germany and Spain, to name only the most consequential of the political disasters? Why had the Great Depression—the greatest economic breakdown in the history of capitalism—led not to socialism, but, instead, to fascism and war? Why had the workers’ state founded on the basis of the October Revolution degenerated into a monstrous totalitarian regime?

(Français) La bible pour constitution : l’essor de la droite évangélique au Brésil
Laurent Delcourt | CETRI - TRANSCEND Media Service, 7 Sep 2020

L’arrivée au pouvoir de Jair Bolsonaro est loin d’être le produit d’un malheureux concours de circonstances. Sa victoire à l’élection présidentielle d’octobre 2018 est aussi le résultat d’une puissante lame de fond portée, entre autres, par l’essor spectaculaire des cultes évangéliques dans le pays à partir du dernier quart du 20e siècle. Implantées dans les quartiers populaires, désertés par les pouvoirs publics, leurs églises (pentecôtistes et néo-pentecôtistes principalement) se sont rapidement révélées être de redoutables instruments de socialisation et de propagande politiques au service des élites conservatrices.

This article is based on an Open Letter I sent to the UNFOLD ZERO membership on 2 Sep 2020. Nuclear Power watches over UN activities and not the other way around. CERN is—officially-–not concerned with nuclear weapons. They only study the atom. And from these 64 years of studying the atom come all the nuclear plants and nuclear weapons in the world!

Up to 90% of U.S. People Who Test Positive for Covid Barely Carry Any Virus & Are Not Contagious. Every Stat about the Disease Is Bogus
Peter Andrews | RT - TRANSCEND Media Service, 7 Sep 2020

3 Sep 2020 – The scale of the pandemic ‘problem’ is actually much smaller than we’ve been led to believe – about a tenth of what all the politicians and media have been using to justify the lockdowns, the quarantines, the mass testing. Some may be shocked that the scale of the problem is so much smaller than assumed.

‘Chasing the Light’ by Oliver Stone
Edward Curtin – TRANSCEND Media Service, 31 Aug 2020

26 Aug 2020 – Like the wandering and rascally Odysseus upon whom he models his life, Oliver Stone is “double-minded” in the most profound and illuminating ways. The title of his fantastic new memoir is a case in point. “One of the first basic lessons in filming,” he writes, “is chasing the light.

Send in the Clowns for the Circus Is in Town
Edward Curtin – TRANSCEND Media Service, 24 Aug 2020

21 Aug 2020 – Trump, Biden, Pence, Harris, and their clownish sidekicks, Pompeo, Michelle Obama, et al., are performing daily. The Umbrella People run a three-ring circus, and although their clowns pop out of separate tiny cars and, acting like enemies, squirt each other with water hoses to the audience’s delight, raucous laughter, and serious attentiveness, they are all part of the same show, working for the same bosses. Sadly, many people think this circus is the real world and that the clowns are not allied pimps serving the interests of their masters, but are real enemies.

21 Aug 2020 – Israel is bombing Palestine again, although you wouldn’t guess that from watching TV news. For the eleventh straight night, Israeli Defense Force warplanes have been bombing the densely populated Gaza Strip causing considerable damage and forcing the shutdown of the area’s only power plant. But the corporate media, focused on the coronavirus and US elections, have shown little interest in the renewed violence in the Middle East.

Nonviolence versus Capitalism
Brian Martin | War Resisters’ International – TRANSCEND Media Service, 24 Aug 2020

Nonviolent action is the most promising method for moving beyond capitalism to a more humane social and economic system. Approaches based on using state power—including state socialism and socialist electoralism—have been tried and failed. Dramatic changes are definitely needed because capitalism, despite its undoubted strengths, continues to cause enormous suffering. Nonviolent action as an approach has the capacity to transform capitalism, though there are many obstacles involved.

As Bolivian Regime Delays Elections a Third Time, Media Continue to Ignore Coup
Bryce Greene | FAIR-Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting - TRANSCEND Media Service, 17 Aug 2020

6 Aug 2020 – When a country’s military oust a sitting president by force, that is a military coup. Referring to it simply as a “resignation”–as in the Washington Post’s 11/10/19–fails to capture the nature of the overthrow. Describing Morales’ ouster as merely happening “amid widespread unrest” is a way of telling readers: “This sort of thing happens all the time in this part of the world. No need to look into it.”

Media reports from 2014 claimed a vessel carrying that load was impounded at Beirut’s after making an emergency stop in the city and being denied permission to leave by customs authorities because it was deemed unseaworthy.

Tunde Osazua | Black Agenda Report – TRANSCEND Media Service, 27 Jul 2020

15 Jul 2020 – If AFRICOM’s mission is to fight terrorism, then why have terror attacks increased five-fold since the US began its military occupation of the continent? “Entities that threaten a liberated, autonomous Africa are the real terrorists, and the United States is the biggest terrorist in the world.

COVID-19 Does Not Exist: The Global Elite’s Campaign of Terror against Humanity
Robert J. Burrowes, Ph.D. – TRANSCEND Media Service, 27 Jul 2020

There is no COVID-19 virus. It does not exist. If you ask any doctor or scientist in the world to show you a scientifically-verified proof that it does exist, they will not be able to show you one. It is therefore clear that everything being done supposedly in the effort to tackle the ‘virus’ is being done for another purpose and COVID-19 is being used to conceal this fact.

Peter Beinart | Jewish Currents - TRANSCEND Media Service, 13 Jul 2020

7 Jul 2020 – What makes someone a real Jew today? In Haredi circles it means adhering to religious law. In leftist Jewish spaces, it means championing progressive causes. But in the broad center of Jewish life—where power and respectability lie—being a Jew means, above all, supporting the existence of a Jewish state. In most Jewish communities on earth, rejecting Israel is a greater heresy than rejecting God.

The Politics of Gene Sharp

Gene Sharp’s contributions to the understanding of nonviolent action provide a useful lens for understanding developments in the field in recent decades. Sharp built on Gandhi’s pioneering endeavours, but moved away from Gandhi by providing a pragmatic rationale for nonviolent action. However, few academics have paid much attention to Sharp’s work, and policy-makers have largely ignored it. In contrast, activists have taken up Sharp’s ideas enthusiastically.
