Hey! Good Evening!

"In 2013, the United States government formally gave itself the right to use psy-ops (psychological operations, i.e. large-scale manipulations of the way the public sees and thinks about something) on its own citizens. ...

Everyone knows that the Russians hacked the election; there’s no serious debate about that. Assad gassed his own people in Idlib; all the experts agree. Kim Jong Un is an irrational madman who could deploy a nuke at any moment unless we keep pressuring him; that’s just a fact. Since all mass media is owned by the same few people, the oligarchs can create the illusion of consensus whenever they need to advance an important agenda. The same singular narrative gets picked up and spouted from all outlets in an extremely confident-sounding and authoritative tone, as we saw them do with the “Saddam has WMDs and wants to inflict another 9/11 on America” psy-op we saw with Iraq. This creates the illusion that a completely unsubstantiated claim is an established fact, and at that point anyone suggesting otherwise will be scoffed at and dismissed at best or condemned and demonized at worst."

News and Opinion

North Korea Wants to Convince the World It Can Nuke Hawaii. Donald Trump Is Happy to Oblige.

US Officials have repeatedly (and falsely) claimed that North Korea is on the verge of having the capability to carry out a nuclear strike on U.S. soil. And the Trump White House has done little to tamp down media speculation about nuclear war, perhaps because the hype plays to its advantage.

In fact, President Trump’s rhetorical brinksmanship has some resemblance to the governing style of Kim Jong-un, the North Korean dictator whom Trump recently called “a pretty smart cookie.” A population that feels threatened by mass violence tends to line up behind its protector. Exaggerated beliefs about North Korea’s nuclear capabilities serve to justify America’s own provocations. These include Foal Eagle, a military exercise carried out on North Korea’s doorstep by U.S. and South Korean forces every spring since 2002. ...

The North Korean missiles that are theoretically capable of reaching Hawaii do not work. Nor do many other key components of the country’s arsenal. ... “North Korea’s launch-failure rate has been extraordinary high” since the Obama administration stepped up cyberwar efforts in 2014, the New York Times noted. Trump has dodged the question of whether a secret U.S. cyber campaign against North Korea might be responsible for the latest test failures, though he has claimed that Obama was “outplayed” in his dealings with Pyongyang. ...

We’ve been here before. Consider this statement: “North Korean technicians are reportedly in the final stages of fueling a long-range ballistic missile that some experts estimate can deliver a deadly payload to the United States.” This was the first sentence of a Washington Post op-ed written by William Perry and Ashton Carter, two former secretaries of defense. Their words echoed Trump’s tweet: The final stages. But that op-ed was published more than 10 years ago, in 2006.

Another example of symbiosis between Trump’s vague warnings and the media’s hair-trigger alarmism took place over the weekend, when CNN published this map, misrepresenting a possible future threat as a clear and present danger:

Would it not be cheaper for the US to tweet millions of photos of tumescent penises to Putin?

US Commander in Europe Signals Need for More Troops to Counter Russia

The top U.S. commander in Europe tasked with countering Russian aggression told lawmakers Tuesday that he envisions the need for an additional combat brigade and support troops in his theater of operations.

Army Gen. Curtis M. Scaparrotti, leader of U.S. European Command and NATO's Supreme Allied Commander, told a Senate appropriations subcommittee hearing that the success of the European Reassurance Initiative rests on long-term investment and commitments, including ramped up numbers of U.S. troops, equipment and facilities to house and store them.

Only two combat brigades are permanently positioned in Europe: the 2nd Cavalry Regiment in Germany and the 173rd Airborne in Italy, roughly one-sixth of 60,000 U.S. troops stationed on the continent. There is also a rotational armored brigade of 4,000 soldiers deployed in Europe with an additional 1,750 from an aviation brigade, but more forces, including increased armor and infantry, are needed to mirror Russia's military composition on their western flank, Scaparrotti said.

US forces in Syria take on buffer role amid Turkey-Kurd tensions

For US troops in Syria, the mission was meant to be simple: support Washington’s allies on the ground in the fight against ISIL, stay in the background and avoid getting entangled in the country’s complicated civil war.

But now, some US forces are stationed far from the battle, flying their flags on Syria’s northern border with Turkey in an attempt to once again create a buffer between America’s two biggest allies in the fight against ISIL – Ankara and the Kurdish YPG militia.

Washington’s deployment to the border in recent days follows Turkish air strikes against YPG positions in Syria on Tuesday last week, which killed 20 people and raised fears about future action by Ankara against America’s most valuable ally on the ground. Following these strikes, the YPG had called on the US-led anti-ISIL coalition to implement a no-fly zone over northeastern Syria. What they got instead were US troops acting as human shields.

These troops may well be needed. Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan has threatened additional military action against YPG fighters and said on Tuesday he would not allow the militia to use Syria to press its case for Kurdish autonomy.

Saudi Arabia’s expected military assault on Yemen will almost certainly cause mass starvation

Three years into Yemen’s brutal civil war, the U.N. says the Arab world’s poorest country is suffering one of the worst humanitarian crises on the planet, and that famine is imminent  — a famine that may be accelerated with the help of U.S. President Donald Trump. For the past two years, the U.S. has provided a Saudi Arabia–led coalition with intelligence and logistical support for its relentless airstrikes against Yemen, which the UN says have been responsible for most of the war’s 4,800 civilian deaths. But the U.S. has stopped short of directly assisting in the ground war.

That may soon change if, as is widely expected, the U.S. decides to play a bigger role by backing the coalition’s invasion of the city of Hodeidah, Yemen’s main port. Located on the country’s west coast, Hodeidah accounts for about 70 percent of Yemen’s inbound trade. Before the war, Yemen imported 95 percent of its wheat and all of its rice — both staples of the national diet — and most of it arrived via Hodeidah. Food imports have continued to dwindle since the war began, raising prices while incomes plummet, and leaving more than half of Yemen’s 28 million people unsure when their next meal will come.

Now Saudi coalition forces plan on seizing Hodeidah in an ambitious amphibious assault they say will cut off supplies to the Houthis while also facilitating a massive increase in aid to the country. Human rights groups and NGOs, however, worry that the attack would actually act as a trigger for the long warned-of famine. Yet the Trump administration appears increasingly inclined to not only allow the assault but also lend it direct military support.

In some ways the Trump administration exhibits a stunning amount of honesty about what has always been US policy. Business and "security" interests (which usually turn out to be business interests) have always, um, trumped human rights for the US.

“America First” foreign policy may mean ignoring human rights, Rex Tillerson says

Throughout his campaign, President Donald Trump pushed for putting the interests and security of the United States above all else. And on Wednesday, his Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, revealed what such an “America First” foreign policy actually looks like: foreign partnerships that don’t hinge on whether countries share U.S. “values” — such as human rights.

“In some circumstances, if you condition our national security efforts on someone adopting our values, we probably can’t achieve our national security goals,” Tillerson said in a speech to State Department employees meant to outline to what “America First” means in diplomatic terms. “It really creates obstacles to our ability to advance our national security interests, our economic interests.”

Tillerson’s remarks confirmed many human rights groups’ worst fears about the Trump administration. Andrea Prasow, the Washington director for Human Rights Watch, called his comments “troubling but not surprising.” ...

“They haven’t been quite as explicit before,” Prasow said. ...

Mother Jones also reported Tuesday that a top National Security Council position once called “special assistant to the president for multilateral affairs and human rights” had been renamed “special assistant to the president for multilateral affairs.” That report, plus Tillerson’s remarks, prompted Amnesty International USA’s Executive Director Margaret Huang to accuse the Trump administration of “literally trying to erase human rights before our very eyes.

What they mean is the US will no longer PRETEND to condition foreign relationships on human rights. There, i fixed it https://t.co/Bwh7FuGlt8

Finding New Homes for Lethal Drones

Since last summer the Defense Department has been using the runway and airspace at the Syracuse Hancock International Airport to train drone operators, who work at the adjoining Air National Guard base. Officials say it’s the first time that the federal government has allowed military drones to utilize a commercial airport. It won’t be the last time. No longer will the pilots who steer drones and fire missiles while staring at computer screens be confined to remote areas like the Nevada desert. With scant public information or debate, sizable American communities are becoming enmeshed in drone warfare on other continents. ...

The former New York Times reporter David Rohde has described what he experienced during captivity by the Taliban in tribal areas of Pakistan: “The drones were terrifying. From the ground, it is impossible to determine who or what they are tracking as they circle overhead. The buzz of a distant propeller is a constant reminder of imminent death.” As civic leaders in Syracuse and elsewhere embrace the expanding domestic involvement in day-to-day drone warfare, clear mention of the human toll far away is almost taboo. Elected officials join with business groups and public-relations officers from the military in extolling the benefits and virtues. Rarely does anyone acknowledge that civilians are maimed and killed as a result of the extolled activities, or that — in the name of a “war on terror” — people in foreign lands are subjected to the airborne presence of drones that is (to use Rohde’s word) “terrifying.” ...

Upstate New York is leading the way for the Pentagon’s plan to expand its drone program from isolated areas into populous communities, which offer ready access to workers. One hundred and sixty miles to the west of Syracuse, just outside the city of Niagara Falls, an Air National Guard base — the largest employer in the county — is in the final stages of building a cutting-edge digital tech center with huge bandwidth. There, pilots and sensor operators will do shifts at computer consoles, guiding MQ-9 drones and firing missiles on kill missions. The center is on track to become fully operational in a matter of months.

At the main gate of the Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station, a sergeant from the public-affairs office was upbeat about the base “operating the MQ-9 remotely piloted aircraft.” At city hall the mayor of Niagara Falls, a liberal Democrat, sounded no less pleased, while carefully sidestepping my questions about whether he could see any downsides to the upcoming drone role. A local businessman who chairs the Niagara Military Affairs Council — a private organization that has long spearheaded efforts to prevent closure of the base — told me that getting the drone mission was crucial for keeping the base open.

In such ways, functioning locally while enabling globally, the political economy and mass psychology of militarism do the work of the warfare state.

Assange lawyer asks Swedish court to tear up detention order

Julian Assange's lawyer has requested a Swedish court rescind a detention order against the WikiLeaks founder over an alleged rape and allow him to go to Ecuador to be safe from extradition to the United States. ...

Lawyer Per Samuelson said the United States had now openly said it wants to arrest Assange. "Given that the U.S. is obviously hunting him now, he has to make use of his political asylum and it is Sweden's duty to make sure that Sweden is no longer a reason for that fact he has to stay in the embassy," Samuelson said. ... Samuelson said Sweden's Supreme Court had previously rejected a similar request for the detention order to be torn up on the grounds that there was little chance that Assange would be handed over to the United States.

Assange was questioned in November in Ecuador's London embassy over the alleged rape, and Sweden is now considering whether to proceed with its preliminary investigation. The offence is alleged to have occurred in 2010. Samuelson said Swedish prosecutors would still be able to pursue their investigation against Assange even were he to be allowed to go to Ecuador.

House Democrats demand answers from Jeff Sessions about social media surveillance

Thirteen House Democrats, concerned by how little is known about law enforcement’s surveillance of platforms like Facebook and Twitter, have written a letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions demanding information. ...

From Occupy Wall Street to Black Lives Matter to protests of the inauguration of Donald Trump, demonstrators have long been monitored by law enforcement on social media. There have even been arrests made as a direct result of that monitoring.

The Congressmen are asking Sessions for answers to 11 questions that focus largely on the government’s duty to protect citizens from undue police intrusion and surveillance. ... The questions likely won’t get a warm reception. Sessions is a staunch ally of law enforcement and has long been a proponent of digital surveillance. While a member of the U.S. Senate, Sessions was a stalwart defender of the Patriot Act, and he stymied efforts to require law enforcement to get a warrant before accessing emails.

Obama meddles in the French elections to promote a banker.

Obama backs Macron in last-minute intervention in French election

Barack Obama has made a last-minute intervention in the French presidential election in support of Emmanuel Macron, saying “the success of France matters to the entire world”. Macron, a centrist, faces Marine Le Pen of the far-right Front National in a runoff vote on Sunday. Polls put him 20 points ahead.

The former US president said he had chosen to declare his support, in a video tweeted by Macron on Thursday afternoon, because of the importance of the election. “I’m not planning to get involved in many elections now that I don’t have to run for office but the French election is very important to the future of France and the values that we care so much about.” ...

The intervention comes a day after Macron and Le Pen met in a bruising televised debate that French media widely judged the frontrunner to have won. The two traded personal insults and clashed over how to fix the country’s sluggish economy and fight terrorism. In the two and a half hour slanging match that featured more invective than any other debate in French presidential history, Macron branded Le Pen an ill-informed, corrupt, dangerously nationalistic and “hate-filled” liar who “fed off France’s misery” and would bring “civil war” to France. She in turn called the former economy minister an arrogant, spoilt, cold-eyed “smirking banker” who was colluding with Islamists, complacent on terrorism and intent on “butchering France” in favour of “big economic interests”.

Macron deemed winner of feisty French presidential debate

Here are some interesting snippets from a family debate documented in The Guardian. The arguments are familiar.

'How can you risk handing victory to Le Pen?' The debate splitting French families

Why will you cast a blank vote in the second round? I am appalled at the idea of having a far-right president in France, possibly the most extreme regime since Vichy. I am terrified for the most vulnerable among us – not you or I necessarily, but visible minority groups – Muslim people, refugees: those who will be the first to bear the brunt of their racist policies. I’m also appalled by the Front National’s views on abortion and gender. How can you risk handing them victory by abstaining?

I hear you, but I feel like I am caught in a very perverse situation. Voting for Macron today will only allow the Front National to expand and in five years, if there isn’t strong enough opposition from the left on social issues such as unemployment, privatisation, inequality – Marine Le Pen will absolutely be voted in. And that should surprise no one.

I remember you’ve told me before that to vote for candidates such as Macron is to feed the far-right machine in the longer term. Can you unpack that?

Today, the pro-Le Pen electorate is not exclusively racist or xenophobic – although an awful lot of them are. It’s also people who buy into the “politicians are all crooks” mentality, and who think the Front National is a choice of last resort. It’s people who have been abandoned by the political class. Le Pen presents herself as the people’s candidate, and talks about social issues (such as prices, pensions, and the relocation of factories) that the Socialist party has ignored for years, and which the other rightwing parties have done nothing to fix. That’s why a lot of farmers, artisans and factory workers are voting for her.

That’s why ultra-liberal characters such as Macron, or even François Hollande, who defend a Europe that can no longer protect or provide for its workers, are such divisive figures. They open the space for extremist parties to rush in and take root.

What strikes me is that your approach is a bit nihilistic. You’re essentially saying a political bomb will go off and Le Pen might win, and if it doesn’t happen we’ll see the same old people in charge. I’m saying we can’t afford to have this stance, and that Macron is the lesser of two evils.

I really don’t want to see Le Pen in charge. But if you look at Macron’s stance on social issues – the way he wants to privatise healthcare, for example – it will be ruinous for the most vulnerable among us. He will chip away at our welfare system. And minorities will definitely suffer under him. So many will suffer under Macron’s regime too.

Goldman Sachs win streak is focus of Treasury-rigging probe

The Justice Department’s investigation into Wall Street’s rigging of the $14 trillion Treasury market is zeroing in on Goldman Sachs — just as the bank’s former employees have taken over the agency that’s at the center of the probe, The Post has learned.

Goldman Sachs won almost all auctions for US Treasury bonds from 2007 to about 2011, a remarkable winning streak that came despite safeguards established by the Treasury to keep bidding competitive, sources familiar with the investigation said.

At the center of the case are chats and emails believed to show Goldman traders sharing sensitive price information with traders at other banks — a sign of possible price fixing and collusion, according to sources familiar with the investigation.

“They didn’t lose many bids,” one person who has seen the bid data told The Post. The prices Goldman offered for Treasury bonds “would be very close” but just above offers from other banks, and typically arrived “at the end of the auction.” ...

At least four other banks are being investigated for colluding with Goldman traders: Deutsche Bank, Royal Bank of Scotland, UBS, and BNP Paribas, a source said.

Republicans rush Trumpcare vote to happen Thursday without CBO score

Republicans leaders in the House of Representatives announced Wednesday night that they will vote on Thursday to replace Obamacare with a renegotiated Trumpcare bill they expect will pass.

After months of haggling, Republicans expressed confidence they had finally crafted a bill that will get the 216 votes necessary. “Do we have the votes? Yes. Will we pass it? Yes,” said Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, the second-highest ranking Republican. ...

The real-world consequences of the bill are mostly unknown since House Republicans are voting before the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has had an opportunity to analyze the legislative text. They have yet to have any hearings on the new bill and were still changing the official legislative text when they announced the vote late Wednesday. ...

The new bill will also allow insurance companies to charge the elderly up to five times more for health insurance than the young and decrease insurance subsidies for the elderly. The powerful AARP has deemed the new bill an “age tax.”

Laughing at Jeff Sessions may put this protester in prison for a year

A woman who says she simply laughed during the confirmation hearing of Attorney General Jeff Sessions now faces a possible year in prison.

Desiree Fairooz, 61, was convicted Wednesday of disorderly conduct and parading or demonstrating on Capitol grounds. Also convicted of two separate offenses were her fellow Code Pink protesters Tighe Barry and Lenny Bianchi, who were dressed in Ku Klux Klan white hoods and robes at the hearing. All three activists pleaded not guilty and rejected plea deals, demanding a trial. ...

She said that her laughter was the result of a statement made by Alabama Republican Sen. Richard Shelby as he introduced Sessions to the Senate Judiciary Committee toward the start of the Jan. 10 hearing. “Jeff’s extensive record of treating all Americans equally under the law,” Shelby said, “is clear and well-documented.”

“I just couldn’t hold it,” Fairooz told the Times. “It was spontaneous. It was an immediate rejection of what I considered an outright lie or pure ignorance.”

Authorities haven't found 'even a dollar' of El Chapo's $1bn drug fortune

Over nearly 30 years at the head of one of the most powerful crime organisations in the world, the jailed drug lord Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán is reputed to have built up a fortune worth at least $1bn. But according to Mexico’s attorney general, US authorities investigating the kingpin have still not been able to trace a single dollar’s worth of Guzmán’s ill-gotten gains.

“As of today, US authorities have not found not even one dollar of El Chapo’s assets,” Raul Cervantes told the broadcaster Televisa on Wednesday. “His money hasn’t been found because he didn’t use the financial system.” Guzmán, who entered the realms of criminal folklore by twice escaping maximum security prisons, was captured for the third time in January 2016 and extradited a year later to the US on the eve of Donald Trump’s inauguration. He faces a string of charges in a New York court and prosecutors are seeking the forfeiture of more than $14bn in illicit earnings made by his Sinaloa cartel. ...

Some analysts suspect Guzmán – who once claimed “I’m just a farmer” – has held onto much less than the authorities allege. “In all probability, El Chapo does not have $14bn. That figure is basically an invention without basis by US prosecutors” who “pulled the figure out of their sleeve,” wrote security analyst Alejandro Hope in the newspaper El Universal.

“Trump Says We Don’t Have To Let You In:” Report Says U.S. Border Officials Are Turning Away Asylum Seekers

Three times this winter a Honduran woman named Alma went to U.S. officials at the border between Reynosa, Mexico and Hidalgo, Texas, to ask for asylum for herself and her three children. She had fled Honduras because her other child had been killed by gang members, and she had brought documentation to prove it, but three times she was told by U.S. Customs and Border Protection that she would have to wait in Mexico. In February, the family was kidnapped.

Alma’s is one of the cases included in a report released today by Human Rights First, which alleges that officials at the U.S.-Mexico border have been routinely and illegally turning away asylum seekers. The report provides dozens of examples of officials providing false information about the law, asking misleading questions or pressuring people to take back statements about fearing persecution, and frustrating lawyers who try to facilitate claims.

Human Rights First, together with other groups working at the border, has documented 125 cases since November 2016 where individuals or families were wrongly denied the chance to claim asylum. Although 8,000 people were referred to the asylum process nationwide during the same time, the report states that many abuses probably go unreported due to dangerous conditions, lack of legal counsel along the border, and little oversight of CBP officials as they receive and process asylum-seekers’ claims.

Donald Trump’s election seems to have empowered some officials to fuel a malicious rumor mill: one Central American was told by an officer in South Texas, “Trump says we don’t have to let you in,” according to the report.

U.S. Wind Energy Installations Surge: A New Turbine Rises Every 2.4 Hours

Every two and a half hours, workers installed a new wind turbine in the United States during the first quarter of 2017, marking the strongest start for the wind industry in eight years, according to a new report by the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) released on May 2.

"We switched on more megawatts in the first quarter than in the first three quarters of last year combined," Tom Kiernan, CEO of AWEA, said in a statement.

Nationwide, wind provided 5.6 percent of all electricity produced in 2016, an amount of electricity generation that has more than doubled since 2010. Much of the demand for new wind energy generation in recent years has come from Fortune 500 companies including Home Depot, GM, Walmart and Microsoft that are buying wind energy in large part for its low, stable cost.

The significant increase this past quarter, when 908 new utility-scale turbines came online, is largely a result of the first wave of projects under the renewable energy tax credits that were extended by Congress in 2015, as well as some overflow from the prior round of tax credits. The tax credits' gradual phase-out over a period of five years incentivized developers to begin construction in 2016, and those projects are now beginning to come online.

Donald Trump Appoints Renewable Energy Critic To Head Renewable Energy Office

In yet another we-wish-it-were-baffling appointment, Donald Trump has announced renewable energy critic Daniel Simmons as the new head of the Energy Department’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE). ...

The Washington Post‘s article on the appointment explains that “The selection marks one of several recent Trump appointments to top energy and environmental posts, which appear to repudiate the Obama administration’s policies aimed at shifting the nation to low-carbon sources of electricity.” However, that hardly seems to go far enough. Donald Trump’s appointments don’t simply “appear to repudiate Obama administration’s policies” but go all the way to simply repudiating sensible business and scientific realities. Scott Pruitt’s time at the top of the EPA will only castrate the necessary environmental work that organization has been doing for decades, in the face of all good science. Rick Perry’s time as the head of the Department of Energy will severely hamstring the country’s economic development and energy security.

And appointing Daniel Simmons as head of the EERE will only further hinder America’s growth and development. Not only will it obstruct renewable energy development — a vital step in minimizing the country’s emissions — but it will likely kill billions in investment and thousands of jobs across the country. ...

Dan Simmons recently served as vice president for policy at the Institute for Energy Research, a notoriously conservative think tank, bought and for primarily by fossil fuel money, that unsurprisingly advocates greater fossil fuel use and opposes the international climate agreement signed in Paris. According to the group’s own website, “IER maintains that freely-functioning energy markets provide the most efficient and effective solutions to today’s global energy and environmental challenges and, as such, are critical to the well-being of individuals and society.” Recently, it has called for an end to wind subsidies, and hit out at Earth Day marches as “ignoring the economic science of climate change” based on some absurd concentric faulty reasoning.

Oil dives 5 percent; OPEC looks unlikely to deepen output cuts

Oil prices tumbled about 5 percent on Thursday, breaking below $50 a barrel to the lowest since late November on signs that OPEC and other producing countries would not take more drastic steps to reduce the world's stubbornly persistent glut of crude.

The slide steepened after OPEC delegates downplayed the chance that their group and other producing countries would deepen their output cuts when they meet on May 25. They did say current output cuts were likely to be extended.

“While the cartel is expected to extend a self-imposed production cap by another six months, it will be a challenge to convince several non-OPEC members to follow suit," said Abhishek Kumar, Senior Energy Analyst at Interfax Energy’s Global Gas Analytics, "Persistent growth in US oil production ... will also make extensions of the OPEC cap beyond 2017 unlikely.”
