• An Idaho couple was arrested after being accused of sending a violent, religious "manifesto" to the leaders of their former church • The document threatened public officials and civilians and implored others to "Go. Hunt. Kill." • Jonathan and Jolene Harms now face a total of 120 charges, Idaho jail records show A couple in Idaho is facing more than 100 charges after authorities allege they published a violent, religious manifesto that included a "kill list" targeting dozens of judges, police of-ficers, bankers, other citizens and their own families, according to several new reports.<



Jonathan and Jolene Harms face 120 counts in total, according to the Idaho Statesman, WLTX, and KIVI. Both Jonathan, 43, and Jolene, 39, were charged with 20 counts of stalking, 20 counts of witness intimidation in a criminal case, as well as 20 counts of witness intimidation in a civil case, according to the outlets. According to the Statesman, many of the individuals identified on the couple's alleged "kill list" included members of their former Table Rock Church, which excommunicated the couple earlier this year after Boise Police Department investigators said in a probable cause statement that Jonathan showed "escalating behavior" towards other members of the church.

Jonathan was arrested at the couple's home two days after emailing the manifesto to the church, according to the Statesman, which reported authorities said they uncovered a "sub-stantial amount" of ammunition and firearms at the couple's home.

Global context beyond developed nations When including all countries, regardless of economic development, the picture becomes more complex.


• High gun death rates: Some Latin American countries experience higher overall firearm death rates than the US. For example, a 2018 study found countries like El Salvador and Venezuela had higher gun fatality rates than the US did in 2016.

Behold. The festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill-fitting suit: the sleaze of a conman, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a Klansman, the sexism of a back-alley creep, the ignorance of a bar-stool drunk, and the greed of a hedge-fund ghoul— all spray-painted orange and paraded like a prize hog at a county fair. Not a president. Not even a man.

Just the diseased distillation of everything this country swears it isn't but has always been— arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense , cruelty sold as toughness, greed exalted as ambition, and corruption worshiped like gospel. It is America's shadow made flesh, a rotting pumpkin idol proving that when a nation kneels before money, power, and spite, it doesn't just lose its soul— it sh*ts out this bloated obscenity and calls it a leader .

Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger have announced their immediate withdrawal from the International Criminal Court (ICC), labelling it an "instrument of neo-colonialist repression".

Jesus warned against Republican so-called Christians

Yes, Jesus directly warned that many deceivers would come in his name, claiming to be the Christ, and would mislead many people.<


This warning is found in the Gospel of Matthew 24:4-5, where Jesus instructs his disciples to be cautious and not to be deceived by these false teachers. Key Points from Matthew 24:4-5 "Take heed that no one deceives you" (v. 4):

Jesus's first instruction is a command to his followers to be vigilant. a "For many will come in My name, saying, 'l am the Christ,' and will deceive many" (v. 5): This is the core of the warning. Deceivers would present themselves as the Messiah and use Jesus's name to mislead people. o

On construction sites across Baldwin County, Ala., workers are vanishing mid-shift. Not because they quit, but because immigration agents hauled them away-the "God-fearing, family-oriented" laborers who braved blistering summer heat on rooftops to support their fam-ilies.<


Now, contractors warn the raids are deepening a labor shortage that already threatens the state's economic prosperity: Even in Alabama, where 65% of voters backed President Donald Trump with immigration as a top campaign is-sue.

Donald Trump's overall approval ratings are as abysmal as they were back in July, but now even his handling of key campaign issues is also taking a pounding. Latest polls show that since the beginning of September, net approval stands at -3.4 percent on immigration, -14.1 percent on the economy, -18.9 percent on trade, and -30.4 percent on inflation. Grim results, given that immigration and the economy polled as two of his most significant leads against Kamala Harris last year. "In fact, approval of how Trump is handling inflation has fallen so rapidly that l've had to extend the y-axis on our issue approval chart below -30," wrote Nate Silver, the statistician and analyst who collated the latest results. While the president himself has proven uncharacteristically mute on his ratings over the past few months, he's been known to lash out at numbers he

Pan-African Revolution: I am because we are, and we are because I am.

They thought Trump’s tariffs would break Burkina Faso, but Ibrahim Traoré just flipped the script in a way nobody saw coming. Standing firm, he didn’t just reject Washington’s demands; he exposed the hypocrisy behind them for the whole world to see. In that moment, a young African leader humiliated the most powerful office on earth, showing that Africa no longer bows to threats or intimidation. What he said to Trump left even his critics stunned, and the ripple effects are shaking global trade. The question now: has Traoré just sparked a revolution that will haunt the West for decades? As the African Diaspora saying goes, "I am because we are, and we are because I am."<

Developers and investors are now extremely worried about buying homes. Prices there are still down by at least 20 to 30%.

President Donald Trump is worried that Attorney General Pam Bondi is moving too slowly to prosecute his political adversaries on fake charges. Trump has good reason to be con-cerned. He is carrying out his project to consolidate authoritarian power against the trend of declining public support for his administration and himself. He is like a man trying to race upward on a downward-moving escalator. If he loses the race, he will be pulled ever deeper below-and the escalator keeps moving faster against him.<


Autocracies are headed by one man but require the cooperation of many others. Some collaborators may sincerely share the autocrat's goals, but opportunists provide a crucial margin of support. In the United States, such people now have to make a difficult calcula-tion: Do the present benefits of submitting to Trump's will outweigh the future hazards?<


crat's goals, but opportunists provide a crucial margin of support. In the United States, such people now have to make a difficult calcula-tion: Do the present benefits of submitting to Trump's will outweigh the future hazards? As Bondi makes her daily decisions about whether to abuse her powers to please Trump, she has to begin with one big political assess-ment: Will Trump ultimately retain the power to reward and punish her? It's not just about keeping her present job. On the one hand, people in Trump's favor can make a lot of money from their proximity to power. On the other, Richard Nixon's attorney general, John Mitchell, served 19 months in prison for his crimes during Watergate. If Trump's hold on power loosens, Bondi could share Mitchell's fate.

… Lookin' at the devil

Grinnin' at his gun

Fingers start shakin'

I begin to run

Bullets start chasin'

I begin to stop

We begin to wrestle

I was on the top


… I want to thank you for letting me be myself again Thank you for letting me be myself again

… Stiff all in the collar

Fluffy in the face

Chit-chat chatter tryin'

Stuffy in the place

Thank you for the party


But I could never stay

Many things on my mind

Words in the way

… I want to thank you for letting me be myself again Thank you for letting me be myself again

… Dance to the music

All night long

Every day people

Sing a simple song

Mama's so happy


Mama start to cr

Papa's still singin'


You can make it if you try

… I want to thank you for letting me be myself again (oh yeah)

(Different strokes for different folks, yeah)

Thank you for letting me be myself again … Flamin' eyes of people fear burnin' into you

Many men are missin' much, hatin' what they do

Youth and truth are makin' love, dig it for a starter

Dyin' young is hard to take, sellin' out is harder

… Thank you for letting me be myself again I want to thank you for letting me be myself again

Thank you for letting me be myself again Thank you for letting me be myself again GIRRRRL DO … I want to thank you for letting me be myself again I want to thank you for letting me be myself again GIRL, DO, DO, DO I want to thank you for letting me be myself again I want to thank you for letting me be myself again DO, DO DO DO....

I repealed Godwin’s internet law 20 years ago

@charlesbrown1365 • 21h ago 20 years ago on. PEN-L email list I warned there is no premature anti-fascism. I was treated like a Cassandra.


On Marxist-Thaxis and LBO-talk, too Remember this? I repealed this internet law 20 years ago.:


For example, many newsgroups and other Internet discussion forums have a tradition that, when a Nazi or Hitler comparison is made, the thread is finished and whoever made the comparison loses whatever debate is in progress. This idea is itself sometimes mistakenly referred to as Godwin's law. <





AI Overview Godwin's Law is an adage stating that as an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Hitler or the Nazis approaches one. Created by Mike Godwin in 1990 to discourage lazy and inflammatory rhetoric, the law argues that such comparisons often signify a decline in rational discourse and can trivialize the historical severity of the Holocaust. <


Key aspects of Godwin's Law: Origin: Mike Godwin formulated the law in 1990 based on his observations of escalating arguments on early online bulletin boards. ® Purpose: Godwin intended to raise the quality of online discussions by making people think critically about using "Nazis" or "Hitler" as rhetorical weapons in arquments. o & What was godwin's internet l y<

Sucheta's Womanifesto Sucheta's womanifesto "Trying to explain anything to a bunch of hostile post-modernists whose only argument against a dissenting opinion is to send dissenters to gulags is sort of useless, but at least I can say I tried.<


Sex is biological and gender is an oppressive patriarchal construct that attributes certain behaviour and roles on the basis of sex. Trying to bring in the question of people with genital defects, ambiguous genitalia and other biological defects which are very rare is a mere distraction. It's like saying that having sight isn't a normal, biological feature because some people are born blind.<


Gender is oppressive because it has been used to restrict, confine and oppress women by mounting certain expectations on them and forcing various restrictions on them. Biology also plays a major role in the oppression of women. Women are often subjected to sexual violence, attempts to control their reproductive choices and they are vulnerable on account of their biology too.


Scientific research has proved that there's no difference in male or female brains. The only difference between men and women lies in their reproductive functions.


Gender roles are oppressive even for men, to an extent. If a man chooses to discard masculinity and do whatever he pleases...wearing dresses or makeup, learning how to knit, etc., well, more power to him. Wearing dresses or makeup doesn't make someone a woman because being a woman isn't a feeling, it's a biological fact. In fact, there is no such thing as "feeling like a woman". If you subscribe to that line of thought, then you're actually validating gender roles, you're actually saying that gender is not a construct, that women feel and act a certain way, and men feel and act a certain way. <



It is this notion of gender essentialism that feminists have fought against. Women have fought for the right to work outside of their homes, to wear what they want to and behave however they want.<


The transgender movement isn't breaking down gender. It's actually reaffirming gender stereotypes when men say they "feel like a woman". There's no such thing as feeling like a woman. Being a woman is not a feeling, unless you affirm gender roles and femininity. Liking things that are stereotypically associated with women doesn't make you a woman, it makes you a gender non-confirming man.


It is also ridiculous that having lived lives steeped in male privilege, men now tell women how to be feminist. In many feminist conferences, "trans women" have prevented women from discussing periods, childbirth, contraception, even breast feeding because they find it triggering. They insist on not respecting the right of women to organise independently. Anyone who criticises them is threatened with violence, rape etc. which is typical male behaviour. <



This movement runs parallel to the MRA movement. When trans people complain about violence and oppression, let me point out that that violence is committed against them by men, not women. Yet they spend all their energy fighting feminists. The MRAs love this!<


Does this somehow mean I hate so-called transpeople? | don't. I want all people to be free from all oppression and violence. But I will not have a man tell me what a woman is. Patriarchy has done that for thousands of years and the trans movement is its glorious descendant.


It's interesting to note that most trans people are "male to female" and mostly white. The trans movement has effectively moved the left away from issues like labour rights, workers' movements etc. We are making a huge mistake by co-opting post-modern politics. We know have transracial people, trans-disabled people and trans-species people. This has opened up Pandora's box<

... and willing to step in? Suddenly sanctions no longer force compliance, they force realignment. That is precisely what happened in Venezuela. Rather than collapsing, Caracus pivoted eastward, deepening trade with Beijing and Moscow and proving that US financial dominance is no longer absolute.<


Here's the hook. Sanctions used to be a weapon. Now they are becoming a recruitment tool for China. Every country hit with US sanctions looks for alternatives. And where do they find them? In Beijing's vast belt and road networks, in Chinese banks that don't bow to Washington, in stateowned corporations eager to secure resourcees. Venezuela is not an isolatedcase. It is part of a growing pattern. Iran, Russia, especially parts of Africa all learning the same lesson. When Washington tries to shut a door, China opens a window and more nations are choosing to climb through.<


The Venezuelan case is particularly striking because of its sheer scale. This is not a small economy with limited resources. This is a nation sitting on the largest proven oil reserves in the world. By sanctioning it, Washington didn't just cut off a regime. It cut itself off from an ocean of energy wealth. An ocean now flowing toward Beijing. Every barrel shipped east is a reminder that sanctionsAmerica, Venezuela's defiance of



US sanctions has become a rallying point. Here is a country refusing to kneel, finding new partners and surviving outside the orbit of Washington. China's role in that survival makes Beijing appear as a reliable ally in the eyes of other governments across the region. The message is clear. US sanctions are no longer a death sentence as long as China is willing to extend a hand. That shift in perception is as dangerous for Washington as the shift in oil flows because it erodess the credibility of America's threats. If sanctions no longer terrify governments, what leverage does Washington really have left?

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for Congress Here’s the situation: Members of Congress have access to sensitive, privileged information to be able to anticipate and legislate as part of their jobs. Some use this sensitive information to make huge profits from buying and trading individual stocks that they know will perform well. Then this happens: FORTUNE headline: Fortune headline: Members of Congress again outperformed the stock market, report shows Since before she was elected, Alexandria has called for an end to this unethical practice. So last week — alongside a bipartisan coalition — Alexandria introduced the Restore Trust in Congress Act to ban Congressmembers and their dependents from doing just that. We must do everything we can to restore the American people’s faith in our institutions. That starts with making sure that no one can abuse their position in Congress to make huge profits from the stock mark

For Marx and Engels, the kingdom of necessity refers to the production needed for human survival, while the kingdom of freedom encompasses the creative, fulfilling activities that are pursued once basic needs are met. The ultimate goal of communism is to create a society where the kingdom of necessity is minimized, thereby maximizing the kingdom of freedom. & The kingdom of necessity This realm covers all labor required for the maintenance and reproduction of life, including the production of food, shelter, and other material goods. In both capitalist and communist societies, this realm of necessary labor still exists. However, there is a key difference in how it is managed: ® Q for engels and marx what wa:Under capitalism, necessary labor is alienated and externally imposed. The worker is compelled to work simply to survive and has no control over the production process, which is dictated by the "blind forces of Nature" and the capitalist market. • Under communism, the realm of necessity is transformed through collective, rational regulation. Associated producers would bring their "interchange with Nature" under their common control, performing this necessary work with the least expenditure of energy and under conditions that are more "worthy of their human nature" The kingdom of freedom This is the true realm of human flourishing, which begins only after the demands of the kingdom of necessity have been fulfilled. It is characterized by the following: " • Work as an end in itself: Productive activity here is no longer a means to an end (survival) but is an expression of human potential and creativity. In this realm, work becomes a source of fulfillment rather than a burden. source of tulfllment rather than a burden. • Development of human energy: This realm is for the "development of human energy which is an end in itself," which involves the expansion of distinctly human capacities beyond the requirements of subsistence.<


• Material basis: The kingdom of freedom can only "blossom forth" with the kingdom of necessity as its basis. This means that the material conditions of life must be secured efficiently and rationally first. The shortening of the working day, achieved by collective control over production, is the "basic prerequisite" for the expansion of true treedom. @


The relationship between the two realms Marx and Engels saw the two realms not as completely separate, but as having a dynamic relationship. The kingdom of freedom depends on the kingdom of necessity being managed effectively and consciously. The communist project aims to manage necessary labor in a way that minimizes it, thereby providing the time and resources needed for human beings to fully

• Al Overview WB +3 Yes, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels claimed that capitalism would be the last class-exploitative society. They argued that capitalism would be overthrown by the working class, or proletariat, and replaced by communism, a classless society free from exploitation. Key aspects of their argument: • Historical progression: In The Communist Manifesto, Marx and Engels outlined a theory of historical materialism, arguing that all of history was a history of class struggles. They saw a progression of societies from antiquity to feudalism to capitalism, with each stage having its own dominant and oppressed classes. • The final struggle: Under capitalism, the contral conflint wae hatiaon the manitalict

• The final struggle: Under capitalism, the central conflict was between the capitalist class (the bourgeoisie) and the working class (the proletariat). They believed that capitalism was creating its own "gravediggers" because it was pushing the proletariat toward a revolutionary class consciousness. • Revolution and transition: The inevitable revolution by the proletariat would seize the means of production and establish a socialist society. This would serve as a transitional phase toward the ultimate goal of communism. • End of class society: In this communist society, the means of production would be commonly owned, eliminating the private profit motive and the structural basis for class exploitation. As a result, the state-which they viewed as a tool of class oppression -would eventually "wither away," creating a truly classless society. Marxism - Wikipedia Through working class revolution, <

Republican Prez is a 21st Century Herbert Hoover : The average US tariff rate 100year historic high.

Sean Foo: So the resource war is getting bigger and it's getting nastier. Over the past few weeks, we have seen the tariff war just backfire badly. The jobs report shows us is not just industries getting clobbered. Virtually every sector has got hammered, which makes total sense. The effects are broadbased and everyone is affected. The average US tariff rate 100year historic high. The big jump came from the crazy copper tariffs. They just send taxes to the moon. So if an item once cost $100, you are probably paying at least $120 for it now. The extra $20 is hitting from your pocket all the way to Scott Besson's treasury for Trump to spend. And that's why companies are slashing and burning jobs today. Overall consumption is going down. People are getting taxed 20% more and paying it to <

Mississippi declares infant deaths emergency as CDC program that could have helped is halted Carter Sherman <


The Trump administration's shakeup of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has forced Mississippi to stop gathering critical data on women's experiences before, during and after pregnancy - even as the state recently declared a public health emergency over its surging infant mortality rate. Mississippi has suspended data collection for Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (Prams), a national database that has been integral to policymaking on maternal and infant health for nearly four decades, the Guardian has learned. Prams functions as a partnership between state-level health officials and a little-known but influential CDC agency called the Division of Reproductive Health, which has lost most of its staff - nearly 100 people - in the Trump administration's purges of federal workers, according to records in a lawsuit filed by several FRIENDLY DESIONS WITH ROOM TO WORK

Marx's Critique of the Imperialism ( Slavery and Colonialism )of the Original Accumulation of Capital

Marx's Critique of the Imperialism ( Slavery and Colonialism )of the Original Accumulation of Capital <


"The discovery of gold and silver in America, the extirpation, enslavement and entombment in mines of the aboriginal population, the beginning of the conquest and looting of the East Indies, the turning of Africa into a warren for the commercial hunting of black-skins, signalised the rosy dawn of the era of capitalist production. These idyllic proceedings are the chief momenta of primitive accumulation." <


Marx. Capital Volume One Chapter Thirty-One:

Genesis of the Industrial Capitalist


The genesis of the industrial * capitalist did not proceed in such a gradual way as that of the farmer. Doubtless many small guild-masters, and yet more independent small artisans, or even wage labourers, transformed themselves into small capitalists, and (by gradually extending exploitation of wage labour and corresponding accumulation) into full-blown capitalists.


In the infancy of capitalist production, things often happened as in the infancy of medieval towns, where the question, which of the escaped serfs should be master and which servant, was in great part decided by the earlier or later date of their flight. The snail’s pace of this method corresponded in no wise with the commercial requirements of the new world market that the great discoveries of the end of the 15th century created. But the middle ages had handed down two distinct forms of capital, which mature in the most different economic social formations, and which before the era of the capitalist mode of production, are considered as capital quand même [all the same] — usurer’s capital and merchant’s capital.


“At present, all the wealth of society goes first into the possession of the capitalist ... he pays the landowner his rent, the labourer his wages, the tax and tithe gatherer their claims, and keeps a large, indeed the largest, and a continually augmenting share, of the annual produce of labour for himself. The capitalist may now be said to be the first owner of all the wealth of the community, though no law has conferred on him the right to this property... this change has been effected by the taking of interest on capital ... and it is not a little curious that all the law-givers of Europe endeavoured to prevent this by statutes, viz., statutes against usury....

The power of the capitalist over all the wealth of the country is a complete change in the right of property, and by what law, or series of laws, was it effected?” [2]<


The author should have remembered that revolutions are not made by laws. The money capital formed by means of usury and commerce was prevented from turning into industrial capital, in the country by the feudal constitution, in the towns by the guild organisation. [3] These fetters vanished with the dissolution of feudal society, with the expropriation and partial eviction of the country population. The new manufactures were established at sea-ports, or at inland points beyond the control of the old municipalities and their guilds. Hence in England an embittered struggle of the corporate towns against these new industrial nurseries.


The discovery of gold and silver in America, the extirpation, enslavement and entombment in mines of the aboriginal population, the beginning of the conquest and looting of the East Indies, the turning of Africa into a warren for the commercial hunting of black-skins, signalised the rosy dawn of the era of capitalist production. These idyllic proceedings are the chief momenta of primitive accumulation. On their heels treads the commercial war of the European nations, with the globe for a theatre. It begins with the revolt of the Netherlands from Spain, assumes giant dimensions in England’s Anti-Jacobin War, and is still going on in the opium wars against China, &c.


The different momenta of primitive accumulation distribute themselves now, more or less in chronological order, particularly over Spain, Portugal, Holland, France, and England. In England at the end of the 17th century, they arrive at a systematical combination, embracing the colonies, the national debt, the modern mode of taxation, and the protectionist system. These methods depend in part on brute force, e.g., the colonial system. But, they all employ the power of the State, the concentrated and organised force of society, to hasten, hot-house fashion, the process of transformation of the feudal mode of production into the capitalist mode, and to shorten the transition. Force is the midwife of every old society pregnant with a new one. It is itself an economic power.


Of the Christian colonial system, W. Howitt, a man who makes a speciality of Christianity, says:


“The barbarities and desperate outrages of the so-called Christian race, throughout every region of the world, and upon every people they have been able to subdue, are not to be paralleled by those of any other race, however fierce, however untaught, and however reckless of mercy and of shame, in any age of the earth.” [4]


The history of the colonial administration of Holland — and Holland was the head capitalistic nation of the 17th century — “is one of the most extraordinary relations of treachery, bribery, massacre, and meanness” [5]


Nothing is more characteristic than their system of stealing men, to get slaves for Java. The men stealers were trained for this purpose. The thief, the interpreter, and the seller, were the chief agents in this trade, native princes the chief sellers. The young people stolen, were thrown into the secret dungeons of Celebes, until they were ready for sending to the slave-ships. An official report says: “This one town of Macassar, e.g., is full of secret prisons, one more horrible than the other, crammed with unfortunates, victims of greed and tyranny fettered in chains, forcibly torn from their families.” To secure Malacca, the Dutch corrupted the Portuguese governor. He let them into the town in 1641. They hurried at once to his house and assassinated him, to “abstain” from the payment of £21,875, the price of his treason. Wherever they set foot, devastation and depopulation followed. Banjuwangi, a province of Java, in 1750 numbered over 80,000 inhabitants, in 1811 only 18,000. Sweet commerce!


The English East India Company, as is well known, obtained, besides the political rule in India, the exclusive monopoly of the tea-trade, as well as of the Chinese trade in general, and of the transport of goods to and from Europe. But the coasting trade of India and between the islands, as well as the internal trade of India, were the monopoly of the higher employés of the company. The monopolies of salt, opium, betel and other commodities, were inexhaustible mines of wealth. The employés themselves fixed the price and plundered at will the unhappy Hindus. The Governor-General took part in this private traffic. His favourites received contracts under conditions whereby they, cleverer than the alchemists, made gold out of nothing. Great fortunes sprang up like mushrooms in a day; primitive accumulation went on without the advance of a shilling. The trial of Warren Hastings swarms with such cases. Here is an instance. A contract for opium was given to a certain Sullivan at the moment of his departure on an official mission to a part of India far removed from the opium district. Sullivan sold his contract to one Binn for £40,000; Binn sold it the same day for £60,000, and the ultimate purchaser who carried out the contract declared that after all he realised an enormous gain. According to one of the lists laid before Parliament, the Company and its employés from 1757-1766 got £6,000,000 from the Indians as gifts. Between 1769 and 1770, the English manufactured a famine by buying up all the rice and refusing to sell it again, except at fabulous prices. [6] The treatment of the aborigines was, naturally, most frightful in plantation-colonies destined for export trade only, such as the West Indies, and in rich and well-populated countries, such as Mexico and India, that were given over to plunder. But even in the colonies properly so called, the Christian character of primitive accumulation did not belie itself. Those sober virtuosi of Protestantism, the Puritans of New England, in 1703, by decrees of their assembly set a premium of £40 on every Indian scalp and every captured red-skin: in 1720 a premium of £100 on every scalp; in 1744, after Massachusetts-Bay had proclaimed a certain tribe as rebels, the following prices: for a male scalp of 12 years and upwards £100 (new currency), for a male prisoner £105, for women and children prisoners £50, for scalps of women and children £50. Some decades later, the colonial system took its revenge on the descendants of the pious pilgrim fathers, who had grown seditious in the meantime. At English instigation and for English pay they were tomahawked by red-skins. The British Parliament proclaimed bloodhounds and scalping as “means that God and Nature had given into its hand.” The colonial system ripened, like a hot-house, trade and navigation. The “societies Monopolia” of Luther were powerful levers for concentration of capital. The colonies secured a market for the budding manufactures, and, through the monopoly of the market, an increased accumulation. The treasures captured outside Europe by undisguised looting, enslavement, and murder, floated back to the mother-country and were there turned into capital. Holland, which first fully developed the colonial system, in 1648 stood already in the acme of its commercial greatness. It was “in almost exclusive possession of the East Indian trade and the commerce between the south-east and north-west of Europe. Its fisheries, marine, manufactures, surpassed those of any other country. The total capital of the Republic was probably more important than that of all the rest of Europe put together.” Gülich forgets to add that by 1648, the people of Holland were more over-worked, poorer and more brutally oppressed than those of all the rest of Europe put together. Today industrial supremacy implies commercial supremacy. In the period of manufacture properly so called, it is, on the other hand, the commercial supremacy that gives industrial predominance. Hence the preponderant rôle that the colonial system plays at that time. It was “the strange God” who perched himself on the altar cheek by jowl with the old Gods of Europe, and one fine day with a shove and a kick chucked them all of a heap. It proclaimed surplus-value making as the sole end and aim of humanity. The system of public credit, i.e., of national debts, whose origin we discover in Genoa and Venice as early as the Middle Ages, took possession of Europe generally during the manufacturing period. The colonial system with its maritime trade and commercial wars served as a forcing-house for it. Thus it first took root in Holland. National debts, i.e., the alienation of the state – whether despotic, constitutional or republican – marked with its stamp the capitalistic era. The only part of the so-called national wealth that actually enters into the collective possessions of modern peoples is their national debt. [7] Hence, as a necessary consequence, the modern doctrine that a nation becomes the richer the more deeply it is in debt. Public credit becomes the credo of capital. And with the rise of national debt-making, want of faith in the national debt takes the place of the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost, which may not be forgiven. The public debt becomes one of the most powerful levers of primitive accumulation. As with the stroke of an enchanter’s wand, it endows barren money with the power of breeding and thus turns it into capital, without the necessity of its exposing itself to the troubles and risks inseparable from its employment in industry or even in usury. The state creditors actually give nothing away, for the sum lent is transformed into public bonds, easily negotiable, which go on functioning in their hands just as so much hard cash would. But further, apart from the class of lazy annuitants thus created, and from the improvised wealth of the financiers, middlemen between the government and the nation – as also apart from the tax-farmers, merchants, private manufacturers, to whom a good part of every national loan renders the service of a capital fallen from heaven – the national debt has given rise to joint-stock companies, to dealings in negotiable effects of all kinds, and to agiotage, in a word to stock-exchange gambling and the modern bankocracy. At their birth the great banks, decorated with national titles, were only associations of private speculators, who placed themselves by the side of governments, and, thanks to the privileges they received, were in a position to advance money to the State. Hence the accumulation of the national debt has no more infallible measure than the successive rise in the stock of these banks, whose full development dates from the founding of the Bank of England in 1694. The Bank of England began with lending its money to the Government at 8%; at the same time it was empowered by Parliament to coin money out of the same capital, by lending it again to the public in the form of banknotes. It was allowed to use these notes for discounting bills, making advances on commodities, and for buying the precious metals. It was not long ere this credit-money, made by the bank itself, became.

It was not enough that the bank gave with one hand and took back more with the other; it remained, even whilst receiving, the eternal credito The Bank of England began with lending its money to the Government at 8%; at the same time it was empowered by Parliament to coin money out of the same capital, by lending it again to the public in the form of banknotes.

It was not enough that the bank gave with one hand and took back more with the other; it remained, even whilst receiving, the eternal creditor of the nation down to the last shilling advanced. Gradually it became inevitably the receptacle of the metallic hoard of the country, and the centre of gravity of all commercial credit. What effect was produced on their contemporaries by the sudden uprising of this brood of bankocrats, financiers, rentiers, brokers, stock-jobbers, &c., is proved by the writings of that time, e.g., by Bolingbroke’s. [8] With the national debt arose an international credit system, which often conceals one of the sources of primitive accumulation in this or that people. Thus the villainies of the Venetian thieving system formed one of the secret bases of the capital-wealth of Holland to whom Venice in her decadence lent large sums of money. So also was it with Holland and England. By the beginning of the 18th century the Dutch manufactures were far outstripped. Holland had ceased to be the nation preponderant in commerce and industry. One of its main lines of business, therefore, from 1701-1776, is the lending out of enormous amounts of capital, especially to its great rival England. The same thing is going on today between England and the United States. A great deal of capital, which appears today in the United States without any certificate of birth, was yesterday, in England, the capitalised blood of children. As the national debt finds its support in the public revenue, which must cover the yearly payments for interest, &c., the modern system of taxation was the necessary complement of the system of national loans. The loans enable the government to meet extraordinary expenses, without the tax-payers feeling it immediately, but they necessitate, as a consequence, increased taxes. On the other hand, the raising of taxation caused by the accumulation of debts contracted one after another, compels the government always to have recourse to new loans for new extraordinary expenses. Modern fiscality, whose pivot is formed by taxes on the most necessary means of subsistence (thereby increasing their price), thus contains within itself the germ of automatic progression. Overtaxation is not an incident, but rather a principle. In Holland, therefore, where this system was first inaugurated, the great patriot, DeWitt, has in his “Maxims” extolled it as the best system for making the wage labourer submissive, frugal, industrious, and overburdened with labour. The destructive influence that it exercises on the condition of the wage labourer concerns us less however, here, than the forcible expropriation, resulting from it, of peasants, artisans, and in a word, all elements of the lower middle class. On this there are not two opinions, even among the bourgeois economists. Its expropriating efficacy is still further heightened by the system of protection, which forms one of its integral parts. The great part that the public debt, and the fiscal system corresponding with it, has played in the capitalisation of wealth and the expropriation of the masses, has led many writers, like Cobbett, Doubleday and others, to seek in this, incorrectly, the fundamental cause of the misery of the modern peoples. The system of protection was an artificial means of manufacturing manufacturers, of expropriating independent labourers, of capitalising the national means of production and subsistence, of forcibly abbreviating the transition from the medieval to the modern mode of production. The European states tore one another to pieces about the patent of this invention, and, once entered into the service of the surplus-value makers, did not merely lay under contribution in the pursuit of this purpose their own people, indirectly through protective duties, directly through export premiums. They also forcibly rooted out, in their dependent countries, all industry, as, e.g., England did. with the Irish woollen manufacture. On the continent of Europe, after Colbert’s example, the process was much simplified. The primitive industrial capital, here, came in part directly out of the state treasury. “Why,” cries Mirabeau, “why go so far to seek the cause of the manufacturing glory of Saxony before the war? 180,000,000 of debts contracted by the sovereigns!” [9] Colonial system, public debts, heavy taxes, protection, commercial wars, &c., these children of the true manufacturing period, increase gigantically during the infancy of Modem Industry. The birth of the latter is heralded by a great slaughter of the innocents. Like the royal navy, the factories were recruited by means of the press-gang. Blasé as Sir F. M. Eden is as to the horrors of the expropriation of the agricultural population from the soil, from the last third of the 15th century to his own time; with all the self-satisfaction with which he rejoices in this process, “essential” for establishing capitalistic agriculture and “the due proportion between arable and pasture land” — he does not show, however, the same economic insight in respect to the necessity of child-stealing and child-slavery for the transformation of manufacturing exploitation into factory exploitation, and the establishment of the “true relation” between capital and labour-power. He says: “It may, perhaps, be worthy the attention of the public to consider, whether any manufacture, which, in order to be carried on successfully, requires that cottages and workhouses should be ransacked for poor children; that they should be employed by turns during the greater part of the night and robbed of that rest which, though indispensable to all, is most required by the young; and that numbers of both sexes, of different ages and dispositions, should be collected together in such a manner that the contagion of example cannot but lead to profligacy and debauchery; will add to the sum of individual or national felicity?” [10] “In the counties of Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, and more particularly in Lancashire,” says Fielden, “the newly-invented machinery was used in large factories built on the sides of streams capable of turning the water-wheel. Thousands of hands were suddenly required in these places, remote from towns; and Lancashire, in particular, being, till then, comparatively thinly populated and barren, a population was all that she now wanted. The small and nimble fingers of little children being by very far the most in request, the custom instantly sprang up of procuring apprentices from the different parish workhouses of London, Birmingham, and elsewhere. Many, many thousands of these little, hapless creatures were sent down into the north, being from the age of 7 to the age of 13 or 14 years old. The custom was for the master to clothe his apprentices and to feed and lodge them in an “apprentice house” near the factory; overseers were appointed to see to the works, whose interest it was to work the children to the utmost, because their pay was in proportion to the quantity of work that they could exact. Cruelty was, of course, the consequence. ... In many of the manufacturing districts, but particularly, I am afraid, in the guilty county to which I belong [Lancashire], cruelties the most heart-rending were practised upon the unoffending and friendless creatures who were thus consigned to the charge of master-manufacturers; they were harassed to the brink of death by excess of labour ... were flogged, fettered and tortured in the most exquisite refinement of cruelty; ... they were in many cases starved to the bone while flogged to their work and ... even in some instances ... were driven to commit suicide.... The beautiful and romantic valleys of Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Lancashire, secluded from the public eye, became the dismal solitudes of torture, and of many a murder. The profits of manufacturers were enormous; but this only whetted the appetite that it should have satisfied, and therefore the manufacturers had recourse to an expedient that seemed to secure to them those profits without any possibility of limit; they began the practice of what is termed “night-working,” that is, having tired one set of hands, by working them throughout the day, they had another set ready to go on working throughout the night; the day-set getting into the beds that the night-set had just quitted, and in their turn again, the night-set getting into the beds that the day-set quitted in the morning. It is a common tradition in Lancashire, that the beds never get cold.” [11] With the development of capitalist production during the manufacturing period, the public opinion of Europe had lost the last remnant of shame and conscience. The nations bragged cynically of every infamy that served them as a means to capitalistic accumulation. Read, e.g., the naïve Annals of Commerce of the worthy A. Anderson. Here it is trumpeted forth as a triumph of English statecraft that at the Peace of Utrecht, England extorted from the Spaniards by the Asiento Treaty the privilege of being allowed to ply the negro trade, until then only carried on between Africa and the English West Indies, between Africa and Spanish America as well. England thereby acquired the right of supplying Spanish America until 1743 with 4,800 negroes yearly. This threw, at the same time, an official cloak over British smuggling. Liverpool waxed fat on the slave trade. This was its method of primitive accumulation. And, even to the present day, Liverpool “respectability” is the Pindar of the slave trade which — compare the work of Aikin [1795] already quoted — “has coincided with that spirit of bold adventure which has characterised the trade of Liverpool and rapidly carried it to its present state of prosperity; has occasioned vast employment for shipping and sailors, and greatly augmented the demand for the manufactures of the country” (p. 339). Liverpool employed in the slave-trade, in 1730, 15 ships; in 1751, 53; in 1760, 74; in 1770, 96; and in 1792, 132. Whilst the cotton industry introduced child-slavery in England, it gave in the United States a stimulus to the transformation of the earlier, more or less patriarchal slavery, into a system of commercial exploitation. In fact, the veiled slavery of the wage workers in Europe needed, for its pedestal, slavery pure and simple in the new world.[12] Tantae molis erat, to establish the “eternal laws of Nature” of the capitalist mode of production, to complete the process of separation between labourers and conditions of labour, to transform, at one pole, the social means of production and subsistence into capital, at the opposite pole, the mass of the population into wage labourers, into “free labouring poor,” that artificial product of modern society. [13] If money, according to Augier, [14] “comes into the world with a congenital blood-stain on one cheek,” capital comes dripping from head to foot, from every pore, with blood and dirt.

Chinese exports to the United States are down double digits since the beginning of the year.

But China’s exports overall are much higher than expected, as Chinese firms are successfully expanding into new markets.

This is glaringly true of Africa. Bilateral trade between China and Africa is rocketing higher, and doing so in surprising ways.

Chinese exports to Africa are high up in the value chain: advanced machinery, vehicles, electronics, and power generation. But these products are also falling in price, making them more affordable then ever to Africa’s emerging middle class and business sectors.

It is also a de-dollarization story. Chinese banks make trade credit and finance widely available using pools of renminbi. African firms can far more easily access capital in RMB, compared to USD, and are refinancing their dollar-denominated debts to the Chinese currency.

Carl Gibson 18 hours ago President Donald Trump's signature domestic policy law's cuts to Medicaid is already wreaking havoc on rural hospitals — particularly in some of the reddest states. One Senate Republican is already fearing the backlash from voters could require an intervention.According to a Monday report in Politico, Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) predicted that Republicans may soon have to go back to the drawing board to rework H.R. 1 ("The One Big Beautiful Bill Act") in order to preserve hundreds of rural hospitals across the country.


"As the implications of the bill become better known, I think there's going to be tremendous pressure to change the law," Collins told the World Medical Innovation Forum (which was attended by numerous healthcare executives) in Boston, Massachusetts.

The Sheps Center found that in Maine, the Aroostook Medical Center in Presque Isle and the Maine Coast Memorial Hospital in Ellsworth are at risk of closing. Collins — who is both the chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee and a member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions - is presumed to be running for a sixth term in the U.S. Senate. And because Maine has a Democratic governor and voted for Democratic nominee Kamala Harris in 2024, Collins could be in for a particularly tough fight with several Democratic challengers already having declared their

America lowers flags and weeps for Charlie Kirk, a white supremacist whose rhetoric dehumanized Black people. Yet when Demartravion ‘Trey’ Reed is found hanging from a tree in the middle of Delta State’s campus with two broken legs, police rush to call it suicide and the nation shrugs. This is the white supremacist hypocrisy of America — outrage for a racist, silence for a Black man lynched in 2025. #JusticeForTrey #SayHisName<

West Virginia Coal Mining is Getting DESTROYED 34K views 3d ago #westvirginia <


In late 2024, coal miners across West Virginia were hopeful. Donald Trump had just been confirmed for a second term as the president of the United States and the promise was clear: coal was about to be made "great again".


Fast forward almost a year later and West Virginia's coal mining industry is getting OBLITERATED. With hundreds of layoffs across the state, WV is by far one of the most impacted states, mainly due to uncertainties surrounding tariffs, keeping market prices low.


While hope remains and things could change for the best very quickly, the currently situation is scary for coal miners in West Virginia, who have no clue when - or if - the market will operate an uptrend move. Out of respect for people in the state, this is a video explaining what's currently going on<

Why wasn't the Income and Jobs Action Act of 1985 ... 3 sites The Income and Jobs Action Act of 1985 (HR 1398) was not enacted because it faced a political landscape dominated by the conservative, anti-regulatory agenda of President Ronald Reagan and the Republican Party.

• Opposition to "big government": The Reagan administration was built on the premise that a large, active federal government was a primary obstacle to economic prosperity. Bills like the Income and Jobs Action Act, which sought to expand federal intervention in the job market, were directly opposed by this political movement.<


• Focus on deregulation and tax cuts: The Republican agenda prioritized lowering taxes and reducing government regulations to stimulate economic growth. This approach was a fundamental ideological split from the bill's focus on creating and protecting jobs through federal programs.

Q what was the income and jobsCongressional dynamics • Partisan divide: The bill was introduced by Democrats, who traditionally favor a more active government role in economic and labor policy. Its provisions, which included expanded unemployment benefits, federal job training, and support for the unemployed, aligned with Democratic priorities. However, it faced strong opposition from the Republican-led White House and conservatives in Congress. • Dominant congressional agenda: During the 99th Congress (1985-1986), the legislative agenda was heavily focused on other major issues, such as tax reform, the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings balanced budget act, and defense spending. This meant there was less political capital available for pushing contentious, purely partisan legislation that was unlikely to pass both chambers.
