Trump and Steve Bannon want to turn a US-funded global media network into Breitbart 2.0
But Steve Bannon, who was deeply involved with getting Trump to nominate his ally Michael Pack, sees the ousters as a reckoning for an agency that he believes has been too soft on covering China.

Imperialism won’t be over after the U.S. empire falls
Underneath the bluster of a Trump administration that still acts like the United States is the world hegemon, the ruling class is working to pragmatically respond to the loss of America’s status as a dominant power. In 2017 the Pentagon put out a report that admitted American global influence is rapidly declining, and now that the U.S. is sure to soon lose its superpower status, the corporatocracy has to address this issue.
How will they address it? The answer can be found by recognizing a basic reality: whether or not the corporatocracy can hold onto the U.S. as their dominant engine for carrying out imperialism, they’ll always do everything possible to make imperialism continue in some form. Imperialism is how the U.S./NATO capitalist class have gained their wealth, so they’ll try to maintain it or else they’ll lose a vast amount of this wealth. I’ve covered in another essay the means through which our ruling class will try to retain control over the population of the imperial core. In this one I’ll detail the ways they’ll try to keep up the cycle of imperialist exploitation.

China Never Barred Companies From Handing Over Audit Working Papers to U.S., Securities Watchdog Chief Says

On May 20, the U.S. Senate approved legislation that would ban any company from being listed on any U.S. securities exchange if the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB), an auditing regulator, is unable to inspect the auditor that prepares the company’s financial reports for three years in a row. Although it applies to all foreign companies, the bill is clearly targeted at China.

The Israeli government’s goal is clear: establish an apartheid regime through annexing parts of the West Bank, and liquidate the Palestinian cause all together. Palestinians must acknowledge mistakes of the past and not compromise on demanding our full human rights.
