Highlighting Independent and Solidarity News

Activist outrage has exploded following the decision of Facebook, run by billionaire Mark Zuckerberg, to remove pages and events related to the "No Unite the Right 2- DC," on the grounds that a page related to the protests may have been created by adversarial and inauthentic "bad actors," a term increasingly used to designate anyone online who promotes ideas outside the political consensus in the US and Europe. No real explanation is given at all for the removal of the pages, other than fear-mongering statements that a dastardly plot was supposedly unleashed to get people to attend a protest against white supremacists and alt-right frontmen who have been known to attack and even kill anti-racists like Heather Heyer. Promises to "release more data later," were foreshadowed by assessments that those involved in making them used VPNs and other tools, making them "more sophisticated" than previous alleged efforts by Russia to sw...

Since the G20 in July of last year, the German state has moved to the right at an ever-more rapid and frightening pace. From the massive police repression , increased surveillance , attacks on left platforms and locations , and imprisonment of leftist protestors , the actions of the Grand Coalition (GroKo) government (comprised of the Orban-aligned CDU/CSU and Social Democratic SPD) have evoked many eerie memories of the first Grand Coalition , a government in office during the events of 1967-68 which enacted various oppressive measures, leading to the creation of the Extra-Parliamentary left opposing the two parties comprising 95 percent of the Bundestag.  The 1966 grand coalition was formed amid an environment of left-wing protest and rebellion in West Germany and the world. Students were gassed and even shot protesting right-wing Arab leaders allied to the German government , especially the Shah of Iran, while the tabloid media (mostly the Springer Press) heaped prai...

As Russia is beginning to overtake Islamic terrorism as the chief enemy of the United States in the eyes of the government and the mainstream media, many of the same figures and organisations that made a name for themselves as "terrorism experts" in previous years are now presenting themselves and each other as the go-to authorities on disinformation and "fake news." Many of these individuals also have a history of repression of anarchist and left-wing forces.   Many have used the term "terrorism gold rush" to describe the cottage industry of think tanks, senior fellows, and private corporations that arose in the United States after the events of September 11, 2001. In fact, the "terrorism industry," to use the title of Edward Herman 's 1989 book, goes back much further than that, originating in the late 1970s alongside the think-tank boom itself, with organisations such as AEI, the Heritage Foundation, the Center for Strategic and Int...
