"The establishment Democrats would rather lose elections than put forward policies that their donors object to."

One more week to survive.

Then time for another vacation.

Its weird - I just recently came back 2-3 weeks after being out a week, but somehow I'm looking forward to this one more.

Said before, but will say it again. Evo Morales of Bolivia was overthrown in a military coup aided and supported by the United States.

In spite of what the establishment media say -

US media have a well-documented history of supporting right-wing coups and regimes around the world, and not much seems to be changing. It is abundantly clear that Morales was unlawfully overthrown by his country’s military on false pretexts. The United States supported and continues to support this coup. That media narratives remain unchanged even after the release and acknowledgment of new evidence indicates that it is official dogma, and not reality, that sets the tone of journalistic coverage.

The US 2020 Democratic Presidential Primary is a repeat of the US 2016 Democratic Presidential Primary.

In both cases, the primary is fixed against a progressive.

In other words, the establishment cheated again.

I disagree with Jen here though - I truly believe the major political parties are never going to change, because they are effectively controlled by the establishment in order to continue crapitalism and American Exceptionalism to continue.

Stiffling Dissent.

Some don't like National Whistleblower Day -> https://vultcult.blogspot.com/2020/07/happy-national-whistleblower.html.

Turns out it's the US Government -> https://shadowproof.com/2020/08/03/us-government-employees-view-dissent-channels-as-risky-and-a-waste-of-time/

Through agency and court records, interviews with “former career civil servants and political appointees,” and previously unpublished information, POGO outlined the use of dissent channels at the State Department, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the Energy Department, and the Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.

Tuesdays are my least favorite days.

All the things your manager was supposed to mention last week will turn up today.

Any surprises for the end of the week will show up here.

The only thing good about Tuesdays are when they end.
