[September 27, 2020 ] On the sixth anniversary of the forced disappearance of the 43 Ayoztinapa college students, a flurry of developments is spurring optimism among long traumatized relatives of the students and their dedicated core of supporters.
Nonetheless, frustration and . . .

Rush is sick and not young and this is how he's choosing to spend his time.

People just can't get off their bullshit.

Andy Borowitz jokes that, before the first Presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, the current President will use another questionable scheme to avoid paying taxes.

I recommend all readers take a look at the ‘Russ in Cheshire’ tweet stream – effectively it has already seen comment on ProgresssivePulse here – although the original source is no longer available- but the author is the same. If you are on Twitter it is worth following ‘Russ in Cheshire’. You will probably be... Read more

U.S. President Donald Trump listens during a meeting with Republican state attorneys general in the Cabinet Room of the White House in Washington, D.C., on Sept. 23, 2020.

Operation Warp Speed is a public/private partnership set up by the Trump administration, which is developing several vaccines for Covid-19 in parallel.

As well as being profoundly irrational and damaging to our freedom and to our economy, elements of the Australian lockdowns may well be unlawful.

The Trump White House wasted no time in nominating Amy Coney Barrett, a devout Catholic,  to the Supreme Court after RBG’s passing gave this administration an unprecedented third bite at the SCOTUS apple.

By his response last week to the Federal Court’s finding that Immigration Minister Alan Tudge engaged in criminal conduct by detaining an asylum-seeker for five days in defiance of an order by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT), Christian Porter has … Continue reading →

At least the latest energy plan – the coalition’s 22nd, and counting – is not all about gas. Last week the bumbling minister, Angus Taylor,  breathlessly revealed that there are all sorts of goodies – hydrogen, energy storage, “green” steel … Continue reading →

The United States continues to use the American taxpayers’ expense account to prioritize Israel’s aspirations. Close on the heels of the so-called Abraham Accords earlier this month, which normalized relations between Israel and the Arab states of Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the Trump administration is formulating plans to essentially purchase another Arab-Israeli “peace” treaty.

In addition, the U.S. is likely to hand Israel billions of dollars in free military equipment.

Regional domination

The Productivity Commission’s inquiry into mental health is recommending the same policies which have been advocated for the better part of 30 years. There is nothing to suggest that continuing to pursue them will produce the improvements that the Commonwealth government … Continue reading →

Our universities actively helped with reconstruction after two world wars and supported recoveries in recent recessions. The Commonwealth Reconstruction Training Scheme of 1944 – 1951 was set up to offer academic training to men and women who had served with the Australian … Continue reading →

BC Liberal leader Andrew Wilkinson today announced a plan to completely eliminate the provincial sales tax (currently 7%) for 1 year, and then cut it by 4 points (or 57%) after that. Conservatives are prone to make expensive tax cut promises during elections, a tendency which contradicts their other touch-stone of perpetually promising to get tough on deficits and debt. Like other governments, BC is already facing enormous deficits for years to come as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated recession.

Mitch McConnell has the votes to confirm Amy Coney Barrett, a former Antonin Scalia clerk who has pledged to continue her mentor’s work...

The mainstream newspapers in Australia do not shed much light about the real situation of the Cold trade war between Australia and China. If we look hard enough, we may find factual reporting about this subject in an English language … Continue reading →

I know we’re not supposed to “shame” people for failing to follow COVID guidelines. But come on. Over 200,000 Americans are dead with hundreds of thousands more horribly ill and billions and billions of dollars spent in health costs and economic losses.

But this is the only thing that matters, I guess:

Είναι δυνατόν σε κυρίαρχη, υποτίθεται, χώρα το φορολογικό λογισμικό να μην το ελέγχει η κυβέρνηση; Είναι δυνατόν να το ελέγχει μια δήθεν ανεξάρτητη φορολογική αρχή (η λεγόμενη ΑΑΔΕ), που είναι ανεξάρτητη μόνον από το ελληνικό κράτος αλλά πλήρως εξαρτημένη από την τρόικα; Είναι δυνατόν η ΑΑΔΕ να αναθέτει το φορολογικό λογισμικό σε ξένες εταιρείες, που ανήκουν σε άλλες ξένες εταιρείες που κανείς μας δεν γνωρίζει ποιες είναι; Είναι δυνατόν να επιτρέπουμε σε τέτοιες ξένες εταιρείες τη δυνατότητα να πατήσουν ένα κουμπί κάπου στην Καλιφόρνια και να χάνει το Ελληνικό Δημόσιο πρόσβαση στα φορολογικ

Yesterday Mike reported that Dominic Cummings was considering appointing the former editor of the Daily Heil, the legendarily foul-mouthed Paul Dacre as head of the broadcasting watchdog, OFCOM, and Charles Moore, the former editor of the Torygraph and biographer of Maggie Thatcher, as head of the Beeb. ‘Coordination’ – Gleichschaltung – was the term the Nazis used for their takeover of organisations and the imposition of Nazi aims and policies. This obviously included the press, radio, cinema and the arts under Hitler’s infamous propaganda chief, Josef Goebbels.

Welcome.

Where am I?

This is the afterlife. You fell asleep at the wheel listening to Atlas Shrugged on Audible.

Oh, right. I guess that makes you St. Peter?

Actually, Pete is sitting this one out; he lets me take your lot.

My lot? And that makes you?

The Venerable Bede: patron saint of English writers.

Ah, quite. Bede, Bede… Did you write “Caedmon’s Hymn”?

Actually, that was Caedmon. You aren’t off to a very promising start.

What are all these stacks of books?

Oh, these are all the books from your Goodreads account.

Imagine it is 2025 and that years earlier, in the wake of the world financial crisis of 2008, a new post-capitalist society had been born. In his new book Another Now, published this September, the world-renowned economist and former Greek Minister of Finance Yanis Varoufakis invites us into a world that is not merely science-fiction. In this conversation with philosopher Srećko Horvat, with whom he founded DiEM25 (Democracy in Europe Movement 2025), Varoufakis will share his thoughts on an alternative present that is worth fighting for.

The U.S. presidential election is five weeks away and there are worries that Donald Trump will not leave office should he lose, or that he will interfere with or stop the counting of votes if he believes continuing counting would reveal he lost.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tells @mitchellreports the NYT expose on Trump's tax returns presents a national security issue: "He has exposure to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars. To whom? The public has a right to know."

Hey geeks! A message from James:

If it wasn’t for Representative Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), not many people would have heard about the memorial event being held to commemorate 25 years since the assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. AOC was invited by Americans for Peace Now, or APN, to participate in this event.

My staff has informed me that there is a debate tomorrow night?

1. Removed Confederate statues are being melted down and repurposed into cyborg Black Lives Matter protesters.

Reviewer’s Feedback: “This one came sooo close! I mean, don’t feel bad, but it was in the YES pile for like two days. Just confused about how cyborgs work. Guess I’m not sure about the science of it all. (First time I’ve ever written that, lololol.)”

2. Teslas are not powered by electricity but rather run off a precise combination of imported beer and shredded American flags.

In 2016, I joined the One Side Project Challenge. The project brought together a number of creators from around the globe, created a private space for idea generation, and an online publication for us to share project updates.

Following close engagement with market participants, the FCA and Bank of England support and encourage liquidity providers in the sterling swaps market to adopt new quoting conventions for inter-dealer trading based on SONIA instead of LIBOR from 27 October this year. The intention is to facilitate the further shift in market liquidity toward SONIA swaps, bringing benefits for a wide range of end users and other market participants as they move away from use of LIBOR.

Forecasting the recession and recovery from the COVID-19 crisis is of substantial policy interest. The pandemic shock shares both similarities and differences with previous crises, such as the financial crisis of 2007-2009. This column evaluates the ability of different forecasting and nowcasting approaches to predict the COVID-19 economic shock and forecast the potential recovery path. It shows that adjusting for forecasting errors made during the financial crisis of 2007-2009 better aligns the COVID forecasts with observed data.
