Anthony Fauci apparently pleaded the Fifth 111 times in today's US Senate hearing.

"Fauci, the face of the country’s pandemic response and director of National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases for 38 years, invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination 111 times during his testimony before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.

In his opening statement, Fauci said committee Chair Rand Paul’s (R-Ky.) “obvious obsession” with his “prosecution” compelled him to plead the fifth.

“The only conclusion I can reach is that the sole reason he is calling me before this committee is to get me to say something, anything that could vindicate his repeated public pledges that I end up in his words ‘behind bars,’” Fauci remarked.

Throughout the three-hour hearing, Fauci declined to answer every question GOP senators lobbed at him. Republicans on the panel spent the morning lambasting the infectious disease specialist for his handling of the pandemic, while Democrats defended him against GOP attacks."

A Federal Court Has Granted Discovery In Journalist Max Blumenthal’s Lawsuit Against The Head Of The DHS

The federal court found that Blumentha’s Fourth Amendment rights were violated through the Department of Homeland Security’s seizure of his electronic devices.

Upon landing at Dulles International AirPort, the The Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal was detained, following pressure from Zionist influencers who were angered that he attended Ayatollah Khamenei’s Funeral in Iran. The funeral was the largest in recorded human history.

The seizure of Blumenthal’s electronic devices has been widely condemned as an attack on freedom of the press & free speech.

Hadn't even heard about this one. Stuff is happening so fast. I did hear that people were trying to jump off the USS Abraham Lincoln.

I've been meeting ex US military guys for years now and almost all of them have bad stuff to say about it. Vietnam, Panama, Iraq, US Navy - it's incredibly normal to privately hear stories from them which revolve around confusion over why they were ordered to do certain things (crimes), confusion over who, exactly, it served, and regret at having been a pawn in this bullshit. Defectors would be entirely welcome, and I hope that those who really believed in fighting for people and country will choose to defect instead of serving against their own people in the Epstein Regime. Those who realize the truth before they have been injured and discharged can be great heroes.

BREAKING: Journalists hid an Airtag in a rare book shipment and confirmed Amazon to be one of the buyers behind the bulk orders destroying rare-books to feed their AI.

They tracked it to Amazon's LAS8 warehouse in Las Vegas, home to VGT3 (see logo below), a scanning operation feeding Amazon's AI training data, where workers say they cut the bindings off books to scan them faster.

Amazon won't say why the books are destroyed.

"Trader Joe's won't say who makes their products and the suppliers sign agreements not to say either. The way reporters figured it out was recalls. When a plant recalls something the FDA notice lists every brand that came off that line, so Eater matched the notices to Trader Joe's lot numbers.

Stacy's makes the pita chips, Naked makes the green juice, Tribe makes the hummus. Tate's, Stauffer's and Wonderful Pistachios all showed up too. The recipes are usually tweaked a little so it's not the exact same product, but Stacy's and Naked are both owned by PepsiCo."

Yet another essay from Chris about fascism being some kind of idealistic essentialist force in culture.  Chris needs to put down the Gramsci and maybe read Trotsky's history of the Russian revolution again.  Fascism is simply the hired muscle the capitalists put to work to protect their system during a systemic crisis.  It's what happens when the revolution loses.  Attempts to attach immaterial characteristics to it beyond that just lead to insipidly calling everything fascist while you could be doing something more productive.

Where does he say this at all?

I have criticisms for Chris Hedges, but not reading enough Trotsky isn't what ice would pick to criticize, personally.
>Attempts to attach immaterial characteristics to it beyond that just lead to insipidly calling everything fascist
The things people point to in critiques of currently existing states as being Fascist are material, though. If anything, endlessly nitpicking over the term's use as a result of a belief that the theoretical preconditions for Fascism haven't been met is dwelling needlessly on ideology to the detriment of one's ability to recognize material reality. You could be extorted by the mafia and you would find yourself debating whether or not the ones extorting you were really a gang, or just something which operated like a gang for exactly the same material reasons that a gang would be motivated to do those things.
