The Pentagon might have a budget of over $1 trillion but they're somehow short on whiteboards... Meanwhile, schools are literally falling apart and students are freezing, boiling and being piled into trailers in order to learn about the gloriousness and exceptionalism of 'Murica.  And absolutely relatedly, 11 million of the 70+ million children in the US live in extreme poverty.  In other news, ce...

Slap a new name on it and you got yourself a Trump-era policy in Democrat swatches! Biden's  asylum ban has recently been halted by a Federal Judge, but the administration is already challenging the Judge's order. Here's a scoop on the aslyum ban, and how so-called sanctuary cities are leaning on mutual aid groups in order to live up to their name.  From kids in cages to kids in deep fat friers, c...

Well, it's been a year since the honestly bare bones access to reproductive healthcare in this country was barred. Since then, the effect on people's basic right to bodily autonomy has suffered - primarily in low income and non-white communities, not least of all Indigenous. Still, there are some rad and powerful ways in which people are fighting to take control of our bodies!  Meanwhile, as the w...

Well, they finally did it. The "neutral" nation of Sweden has slashed 200 years of political precedent and joined the dealth cult popularly known as NATO. Resident Swede Eleanor digs into how facocked this is while she and Lee give context via little tid bits like how Russia wanted to join NATO at its founding and documents showing NATO promised to not move east of the Elbe river in Germany.  Mean...

Soooo just when it seemed the US proxy war in Ukraine couldn't get any more facocked, Biden announced that he'd be raining down largely-banned cluster munitions so that people (not least of all children) can be maimed for decades to come.  Meanwhile, Japan has announced that they finally have a solution for the radioactive waste from Fukushima: the Pacific Ocean. Now that sounds horrifying (becaus...

Vive la revolucion! After French police murdered a 17-year old on the outskirts of Paris, Frane is once again in the throes of public rage and dismay. Could this latest wave be too much to keep Macron n friends afloat?  So, the Supreme Court sucks - and that's by design. Not only did they stomp out hope for even the most measley of college debt relief bills, but they stomped on the measliest of po...

Florida may be the punch line of jokes these days but there's a lot we can learn about the fascism to come (without proactive resistance to it) from this most southern state.  At this point, discussion of the imploded sub has reached feverishly repetitive tones. So we're gonna flip the script and talk about a tragedy that you may not have heard about - because, according to our media and cultural...

UPS has until July 31st to stave off the largest single employer strike in US history. Will they do it? And regardless of the outcome, what does this mean for workplace organizing in any and all trades and companies? Also good news: the Empire's grip in the Middle East is slipping after Blinken just had yet another disappointing trip to Saudi Arabia where officials there pushed back considerably o...

We're back! It's been more than a minute but now Eleanor is back with the show so we can all pick right back up where we left off because sadly, this show is still necessary as the world has not drastically changed for the better nor has corporate media decided suddenly to give a damn about actual issues.  Speaking of which, actual journalists have been found guilty - well, of being actual journal...

Hey, let's start off with a proof of life from Eleanor and then get right into the nitty gritty. Like hey, did y'all know that the petrodollar is dying? And that doesn't bode well for the US economy.  PLUS does the Trump indictment even matter, AND MORE!    ** psst, for more on the US economy, check out Eleanor's recent interview with Prof. Richard Wolff on Project Censored   leecamp.net

The official Pentagon budget is almost $1 trillion. So what if we just shaved of $100bn of that? A couple of members of Congress are proposing just that, and here's what we have to say about that.  Meanwhile, China has offered up a 12-step program to peace, if you will. Their 12-point plan is specifically targeted to the war in Ukraine but could really apply to any of the imperial catastrophes the...

There's no shortage of coverage of the disastrous train derailment in East Palestine, OH. But what's really missing is the context of why, how and amazingly how predictable and therefore avoidable the whole catastrophe was. Hint: corporate profits over safety and worker's rights.  Over the pond, it looks like the US crippled Germany's energy infrastructure for no reason. The hopes that the US bomb...

Since late last year, Peru has been in the throws of an amplified struggle against US imperialism. The struggle quickly turned violent and the people of Peru continue to be resilient in demanding democracy and justice. The EPA did something good...their job! But not to worry, they've announced that they won't make a habit of it - indeed, they've only done this 3 times in the past 30 years so rest...

Russiagate is already easily refuted, but it seems like the hits (i.e. the truth) keep comin! New evidence shows collusion between social media and the US government to label anything they don't like as Russian bots - which of course turns out were neither Russian nor bots. Discuss.  Following the murder of a forest defender in the Atlanta forest, Dekalb County Police are doing their utmost to pai...

Well it's MLK day and we just wouldn't know how to celebrate it without racists, capitalists, and imperialists misquoting the Civil Rights leader in some of the most absurd and twisted ways. Meanwhile, Sweden is desperate to get in on US empire's game, even going so far as to suggest that flying a flag could be an act of terrorism. A massive arctic drilling project is planned because you know, 'Mu...

Here's some good news to start the year off on a high note! Formerly imprisoned Brazilian president Lula is back in office! Bolsonaro snuck off to Florida with his tail between his legs and the never-president-of-Venezuela-but-called-president-by-uncle-sam Guaido has finally been ousted by his own party. Meanwhile in the bad news department (I mean you knew we were going to), Big Oil is behind som...

Railroad workers were dealt a serious (but unsurprising) blow by Biden and Congress who decided to make a potential rail strike illegal rather than give them the basic human rights they're asking for. So, should they call Biden's bluff? Matt Taibbi has recently dug into Twitter's history of censoring those the ruling class take issue with - not least of all those sharing provable facts about Biden...

Imperialism isn't just something the US does 'over there.' It's very much a home game. Like when predominantly black inmates in Philadelphia were used as guinea pigs for chemical experimentation for decades, then told they couldn't file a lawsuit because it was too long ago, then the city 'apologized' for using their bodies as toxic waste sites. Meanwhile, homicidal extremists clearly linked to to...

It's ok if you're not shocked anymore - but never lose your disgust and disdain for the war machine. For instance, if you've been following the show and know the context of the proxy war in Ukraine, you won't be surprised to learn that the UK built a 'terror army' in order to better poke the Russian bear. You may also not be shocked by the fact that FOUR weapons contractors got more money from the...

These Midterms are the most important EVER! Just like the last time! So it begs the question, do midterms ever matter? Meanwhile in the UK, the new boss, same as the old boss (but richer if you can believe it) proves to us that it doesn't matter what shade of skin or what gender someone has because people of all stripes can be imperialist, capitalist douche canoes. PLUS updates on the egregious mi...

As Chris Hedges wrote, we are an empire in decline - and nations outside of ours can see the writing on the wall perhaps far more than we oursleves can. In this big move, a recent OPEC meeting tolls a  bell for Uncle Sam... Saying the quiet part loud, EU's top foreign-policy official, Josep Borrell admitted that Europe's prosperity is based on cheap Chinese labor and cheap Russian energy...a golde...

Sometimes the internet is a beautiful place. Like that time just recently when Zelensky tried to hide the N*zi symbols on his guard's uniforms but oh the internets saved that little gem! Meanwhile, what do John Stewart, Mickey Mouse and a N*zi have in common? The EU parliament is pushing to divest from deforestation. Is this as good as it sounds or is it yet another false solution? Or maybe both.....

Folks in Baltimore found themselves on the "boil your water" advisory list as the disgusting state of US water quality becomes ever more clear...unlike the water. Meanwhile, as much as we spend on military in one year is what we need to spend to completely overhaul our water system - over the next 25 years. As people in the US struggle to find water to drink, thousands in Pakistan struggle to stay...

Next time you're craving a chicken sandwich, just think: that could be your minimum wage! It sounded like a good deal to Chick-Fil-A... Meanwhile unionization via workplace organizing is a growing threat to more and more stores. Some corporations are so afraid of their workers that they're pre-emptively shuttering their stores rather than allow them to unionize. 50 years after ruining Sacheen Litt...

So, let's be clear: the FBI is bad. So is Trump. So is the Espionage Act. And yes, it's that simple. Corporate media's push to aim the Espionage Act at a favorite villain of liberal America smacks very hard of trying to lube up the public for aiming the very same Act at the most dangerous truth-teller of our time, Julian Assange. Zelensky uplifts toxic nationalism as he claims that all Russians ar...
