OP/ED

Capitalism, the State and the Drowning of America

As Hurricane Harvey lashed Texas, Naomi Klein wasted no time in diagnosing the “real root causes” behind the disaster, indicting “climate pollution, systemic racism, underfunding of social services, and overfunding of police.” A day after her essay appeared, George Monbiot argued that no one wants to ask the tough questions about the coastal flooding spawned during Hurricane Harvey because to do so would be to challenge capitalism—a system wedded to “perpetual growth on a finite planet”—and call into question the very foundations of “the entire political and economic system.”

As ISIS Shrinks, Al Qaeda Expands

Al-Qaeda is creating its most powerful stronghold ever in north-west Syria at a time when world attention is almost entirely focused on the impending defeat of Isis in the east of the country. It has established full control of Idlib province and of a vital Syrian-Turkish border crossing since July. “Idlib Province is the largest al-Qaeda safe haven since 9/11,” says Brett McGurk, the senior US envoy to the international coalition fighting Isis.

the shilling of that shitty movie was so fucking obvious

Thanks newsanon.

so much for full shelves under capitalism


sigh

I mean, when it comes to poorer areas of town in the south, this is undeniable. Stop clenching your anus over ideas so easily.

Someone help this brainlet out. I thought ISIS was Al Qaeda, more or less. And there's Al Nusra too right? Aren't they AQ or some kind of "affiliate?" Middle Eastern politics isn't really my specialty.

They're two different factions

Bernie Sanders to Hillary Clinton: 'Let's not keep arguing about 2016

thedailybeast.com/bernie-sanders-responds-to-hillary-clinton-book-criticism-stop-arguing-about-2016

Comrade Sanders isn't taking any of Hillary's bitching.

I'm sick of this old man. When is he going to quit being such a pussy?

Go to bed Hillary. You're more unpopular than Trump right now.

Whatever, dude. People hit him and he always takes it lying down, just once I'd like to see him throw some shit back in someone else's face. American politics are a spectacle without any actual release, it's just blue balls 24/7.

Nice old gramps that says all the 'right' things is his schtick

B-but muh breadlines!


TYBNewsAnon2.0

go watch Bitter Lake

U really think racism has nothing to do with poverty and ability to move around in the deep south?

If you want to throw shit, go join Hillary. She's trying to burn the fucking house down in a giant bitch fit over her loss. Or how about the Republicans? They're going to eat each other alive in 2018.

Bernie's trying to keep shit together. His eye is on the prize: ruling power.

Florida chief promised ID checks to arrest anyone with outstandimg warrants or immigrants on the spot

America is fucking repulsive.

Also remember that 1 in 4 Americans has a criminal record so this would filter out a lot more people than in most countries.

His schtick is gay, tbh

Fox News Fires Eric Bolling After Harassment-Related Inquiry


bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-09-08/fox-news-fires-eric-bolling-after-harassment-related-inquiry

thanks and sure! I don't really know what to ask for

hahahahAHAHAHAHAHA

FUCKING BYE DIPSHIT

Stupid SJW tectonic plates.

Ask for porn.

...

Ask for an inspiring poster of our glorious, based NewsAnon bringing the light of News to the dark and murky depths of Holla Forums

Or just ask for porn, that works

At this rate they'll fire all the men but Shep Smith.

Are we living in the fucking end times or something

Fuck it, I made a thing

I love it

New Englander here. Tell me about the situation in the South.

Everyone's retarded and stupid.

t. North Carolinian

Sometimes I wish the South won the civil war so the shit from there would stay there.

A lot of black people, local governments have fucked them over completely over the span of two decades. It was growing a bit, but 2008 killed it and they've completely devested, creating permanent poverty in regions of our nation's biggest cities, like St. Louis.

It's not just Detroit that capital failed America now, large swathes of the south are now uncomfortable reminders how local governments prioritize to suburbanites and yuppies.

Many of whom, just happen to be white.

And don't forget that this stuff goes mostly unnoticed until Trump mysteriously gets elected or whatever. Collapse/revolution is literally going to happen suddenly and unexpectedly to a whole lot of burgers.

...

I wish Sherman had rolled over everything.

I'm honestly glad my mom was from the north and not a retard like almost literally everyone seems to be here. It seriously amazes me how stupid you can be just because you're on the wrong side of Mason/Dixon. Sure, there are some smart and good people here, but that's about 1% of them. The ratio is really messed up.

Indiana is still pretty fucked up for being a "Northern" state.

I mean on top of this giant mistake of an election, it gave us Mike fucking Pence

So you’re saying Blacks in the South are just like West Virginia, but Black.

Particularly for certain states, yes. Mississippi is really bad. So is Louisiana.

Missouri too.

Riyadh may have sponsored 9/11 'dry run': New lawsuit data

''Citing FBI documents, the lawsuit said the Saudi students — Mohammed al-Qudhaeein and Hamdan al-Shalawi — were both members of “the kingdom’s network of agents in the US,” had received training at the camps run by the a-Qaeda militant group in Afghanistan, and were in “frequent contact” with Saudi officials while in the US.

In a November 1999 America West flight to Washington, the Saudi students reportedly tried multiple times to gain access to the cockpit of the plane.

Consequently, the pair were taken into custody following an emergency flight landing in Ohio, but later the FBI decided not to pursue prosecution.

Meanwhile, the FBI confirmed that the Saudi embassy had paid for the students’ tickets for the pre-9/11 “dry run.”

“The dry run reveals more of the fingerprints of the Saudi government,” said Kristen Breitweiser, one of the New York plaintiffs. “These guys were Saudi government employees for years and were paid by the Saudi government.”''
