Transcript below: "This announcement by Victoria Nuland that Russia’s partial pullout or initial pullout from Syria won’t have any bearing on the sanctions that the US has imposed on Moscow is just typical of the arrogance and intransigence of the US government, which is the world’s worst imperial strongman, (…)

Interview with RT on US electoral charade. I try really hard—you can see how well I succeed—for a *one minute* takedown of the vicious and slithering Killmeister, who by skillful, sleazy manipulation and press collusion and outright stupidity, has managed to avoid responsibility for the destruction of the lives of countless black and brown people both at home and around the globe.

Samsung has seized the opportunity, amidst the FIFA corruption scandal, to place a bid as an official sponsor, in replacement of those which have cut their ties to the federation (Castrol, Continental, J&J), in the hope of brushing up its image after too many controversies and deep suspicions of blatant disregard of the most elementary business ethics. But the choice of Qatar as a marketing partner may prove delicate for both sides.

WHAT IS REALLY AT STAKE IN THE ODDEST AMERICAN ELECTION SEASON OF A LIFETIME
John Chuckman
I keep reading stuff in British papers about what America’s Left must do in an election where Donald Trump “has thrown caution to the wind.” Each time I read anything along that line, invariably, I ask myself, “What Left are they talking about?” As perhaps few in Europe understand, there is no Left in the United States.
Bernie Sanders comes closest to being Left, but he is not only from one of (…)
