Angered by Saudi Plan to Purchase Russian S-400, Trump Admin Exploiting Khashoggi Disappearance to Force Saudis to "Buy American"
Whitney Webb | globalresearch.ca | 2018-10-22
The response of the Trump administration and many U.S. politicians to Khashoggi's disappearance is largely being guided by the military-industrial complex — in this case Lockheed Martin — but masquerading as a response motivated by "human rights." | The disappearance and … | The post Angered by Saudi Plan to Purchase Russian S-400, Trump Admin Exploiting Khashoggi Disappearance to Force Saudis to "Buy American" appeared fi…

The Rule of the Uber-Rich Means Tyranny or Revolution
Chris Hedges | truthdig.com | 2018-10-22
At the age of 10 I was sent as a scholarship student to a boarding school for the uber-rich in Massachusetts. I lived among the wealthiest Americans for the next eight years. I listened to their prejudices and saw their cloying sense of entitlement. They insisted they were privileged and wealthy because they were smarter and more talented. They had a sneering disdain for those ranked below them in material and social status, even the merely rich. Most of the uber-rich lacked the capacity for empathy and compassion. They formed elite cliques that hazed, bullied and taunted any nonconformist who defied or did not f…

Basket of Deplorables Revisited: Grizzly Bears at the Mercy of Wyoming
David Mattson | counterpunch.org | 2018-10-22
Recent statements by politicians as well as grizzly managers and researchers in the Yellowstone ecosystem have revealed much about not only their motivations, but also the masters they serve. Official communications have been resoundingly and selectively silent about certain critical issues. At the same time, and more alarming yet, some managers and politicians have gone out of their way to tacitly incite violence and even criminality. But then, such behaviors are not new, especially on the part of Wyoming officials who routinely exploit controversies surrounding grizzly bear management to advance the interests o…

Why public funding for private schools is unfair

In September the federal Coalition government announced it would provide an extra $4.5 billion directly to fee-charging, Catholic and independent schools, to be spent any way they choose. | NSW Minister for Education Rob Stokes commented that his government will not sign up to a needs-based, sector-blind funding scheme, which is neither of those things. | Many Australians do not understand how government (public) and private schools are funded and find the whole issue bewildering.

Neoliberalism in the Age of Pedagogical Terrorism
Henry Giroux | counterpunch.org | 2018-10-22
While the call to resist neoliberal fascism is to be welcomed, it has to be interrogated rather than aligned with individuals and ideological forces that helped put in place the racist, economic, religious, and educational forces that helped produce it. What many liberals and conservative calls to resistance have in common is an opposition to Trump rather than to the conditions that created him.

Thomas predicts a higher voter turnout among the nation's 20 million college students, a "formidable voting bloc" that she says was jolted to attention by the 2016 election of Donald Trump as president.

From the west side of the island, a pedestrian can see, high in the misty gray sky of Manhattan, the carmine lettering of The New Yorker hotel. The art-deco staple of the Jazz Age has graced the skyline of the city since 1930. It has hosted movie stars and starlets, ballplayers and boxers, heroic firefighters and geniuses of science. Barack Obama's parents were married there. It is a beacon of bourgeois New York life.
