Beijing Demands Info On Finances, Staff From 6 American Media Outlets Operating In China

Beijing Demands Info On Finances, Staff From 6 American Media Outlets Operating In China Tyler Durden Mon, 10/26/2020 - 11:18 Beijing is following up its announcement of impending sanctions to be levied against a trio of American defense contractors by ordering six American media companies to deliver detailed information about their finances, staff and other details. The urgent demand - which gives the media companies a week to comply - follows another tit-for-tat attempt by Washington to crack down on Chinese media by labeling six entities as "foreign missions", which could create problems for their employees working from the...

"Lizard Brains": NBC Analyst Meacham Attacks Trump Supporters Functioning On Primitive Limbic Systems

"Lizard Brains": NBC Analyst Meacham Attacks Trump Supporters Functioning On Primitive Limbic Systems Tyler Durden Mon, 10/26/2020 - 11:35 Authored by Jonathan Turley, Below is my column on Fox regarding the recent remarks of NBC analyst Jon Meacham explaining how Trump supporters suffer from “lizard brains.” The statement is indicative of a long-standing trend in the media of insulting and biased comments about Trump supporters. Analysts seem to have dispensed with any notion of restraint or reason in such attacks. What is most troubling is that there are students who support Trump at Vanderbilt and there have been complaints...

Creditors Finally Wake Up To An Apocalyptic Reality: Bond Losses As High As 99%

Creditors Finally Wake Up To An Apocalyptic Reality: Bond Losses As High As 99% Tyler Durden Mon, 10/26/2020 - 11:55 Back in March 2016, we published an article explaining how the coming default cycle - when it finally hits - would be different: it would be marked by record low recovery rates. While there were many reasons for that, three stood out: i) the disconnect between fundamentals and asset prices thanks to the Fed's constant manipulation of markets, ii) the record layering of debt upon debt, much of it secured, and iii) the years of covenant-lite deals that stripped...

Silicon Valley Campaign Cash Complicates Democrats’ Plan to Break Up Tech Giants

The stage is being set for Democrats to clash next year over a push to rein in Silicon Valley oligarchs. Earlier this month, House Democrats called for the break-up of major tech giants, but Democratic candidates in key Senate races are comfortably out-fundraising their Republican counterparts in campaign cash from the tech industry. Earlier this month, after a lengthy investigation led by the House judiciary subcommittee on antitrust, Democratic lawmakers on the panel called for regulators to force significant divestment by U.S. tech giants. “As they exist today, Apple, Amazon, Google, and Facebook each possess significant market power over large swaths...

Death, Money, and the Dueling Frauds: Trump and Biden

When the New York Times and CNN recently referred to the staged town hall spectacles of Biden and Trump as dueling events, they inadvertently revealed the truth that U.S. presidential elections are America’s favorite movie and that the corporate media is in the entertainment business. While it is ludicrous to imagine these tottering actors crossing swords in tights, their skirmishes in suits and ties are good for a few laughs, if you have the stomach to watch them. Only people who still believe in professional wrestling would think these clowns don’t work for the same bosses – the Umbrella People,...

Adding More Dust onto a Threadbare Empire

Barbara Lee: I’m very terrified with regard to what we see taking place. And the signs are there. When you talk about shutting down the media, putting out their alternative facts, banning dissent and opposition, criticizing people who are exercising their First Amendment rights; trying to get people to believe, really, the distortions that they’re putting out there. That, to me, is very scary. It’s very dangerous. And you see also the corporate and military consolidation of the public sector. You see efforts to privatize schools. When you just look at the nominees, you see very few people with...

Ballots Defeat Bullets: MAS Wins Historic Mandate in Post-Coup Bolivian Election

MAS supporters celebrate in La Paz following electoral victory. Photo credit: Thomas Becker. Against all odds, the Movement Toward Socialism (MAS) party won the October 18th elections in Bolivia with 55.1% of the vote. This is better than even Evo Morales did in 2005 with 53.75% support. It gives MAS President-elect Lucho Arce one of the biggest mandates in Bolivian history, and is in part a major endorsement of MAS policies and its 14 years in power. The election took place a year after a coup overthrew former MAS President Evo Morales and installed right wing Senator Jeanine Áñez in power....

Trump’s Nuclear Weapons are Standing Up And Standing By

Photograph Source: The White House – Public Domain The President of the United States has the power to fire off thousands of nuclear weapons and destroy the world.  As succinctly explained by William Perry and Tom Collina in the New York Times, “Mr. Trump has the absolute authority to start a nuclear war. Within minutes, the president could unleash the equivalent of more than 10,000 Hiroshima bombs. He does not need a second opinion. The defense secretary has no say. Congress has no role.” This is the Trump who contracted the Covid 19 virus and on October 2 was taken to hospital where he was...
