Epifanio Camacho: a Militant Farmworker Brushed Out of History
Tanya Golash-Boza — Michael Golash | counterpunch.org | 2019-03-25
Cesar Chavez is perhaps best known for his role in the 1965-1970 Delano grape strike and boycott and his nonviolent tactics in those protests. Although Chavez insisted on nonviolence, there was dissent within the National Farmworkers Association as some workers believed more militant tactics were necessary. One of these workers was Epifanio Camacho. With Cesar…

The TSA's Role as Journalist Harasser and Media 'Watchdog'
Dave Lindorff | counterpunch.org | 2019-03-25
Sometimes you have to leave the United States to understand how far this country has evolved towards becoming a police state. I got a good example of this just last week on a trip with my harpsichordist wife Joyce to Vienna where she had been contracted to perform a concert of music by a leftist Jewish composer who fled Austria just ahead of the Nazi Anschluss that took over and incorporated that country into Germany, eventually settling in the US.

Bolsonaro's Brazen Meeting With the CIA

On March 18, Brazil's extreme-right President Jair Bolsonaro made history.

In contrast, Bolsonaro has never visited ABIN, Brazil's moribund equivalent of the CIA. | On the agenda, it is assumed, were the ongoing coup attempt in Venezuela, in which the United States wants further Brazilian assistance, unrest in Nicaragua, Cuba, and Bolivia's co…

Mueller Finds No Trump-Russia Coordination, But "Does Not Exonerate" Trump of Obstruction of Justice
Democracy Now! | democracynow.org | 2019-03-25
There was no collusion. That was the key finding of special counsel Robert Mueller's long-awaited report into whether President Trump and members of his campaign conspired with the Russian government to win the 2016 election. While the full report on Mueller's 22-month investigation has not yet been made public, Attorney General William Barr sent a four-page letter to congressional leaders on Sunday laying out his interpretation of Mueller's findings. Barr wrote that the report concluded Russia meddled in the 2016 election but that "the Special Counsel's investigation did not find that the Trump campaign or anyon…

Three Lessons for the Left from the Mueller Inquiry
Jonathan Cook | counterpunch.org | 2019-03-25
The left never had a dog in this race. This was always an in-house squabble between different wings of the establishment. Late-stage capitalism is in terminal crisis, and the biggest problem facing our corporate elites is how to emerge from this crisis with their power intact. One wing wants to make sure the pig's face remains painted, the other is happy simply getting its snout deeper into the trough while the food lasts.

Good Agent, Bad Agent: Robert Mueller and 9/11

This profile of Robert Mueller originally ran in CounterPunch on June 21, 2017.

Robert Mueller Was Never Going to Save Us
Juan Cole | truthdig.com | 2019-03-25
This piece originally appeared on Informed Comment. | Ann Arbor (Informed Comment) — The Mueller report, at least as Trump's AG describes it, was not able to prove that Trump colluded with Russia during the 2016 campaign. It did not prove he did not. Mueller obviously did find evidence of Russia supporting Trump, but that is different. The attraction of the theory embraced by many pundits and politicians that Trump became president by colluding with Vladimir Putin is that it gets the American public off the hook. | But we don't des…

Thank You Gavin Newsom, From a Death Row Inmate

Many people believe that taking a human life is a primal exercise of real power, whether on a massive scale through war or the murder of one person by another in a single act of violence. Then there is a system of death that flows in this country's bloodstream, from the cop who murders an unarmed innocent person to the prison executioner who murders a fellow citizen when his or her time is up. | But real power is not in taking a life, as many people mistakenly think; it is in saving a life.
