The Kremlin Stealth Edits Embarrassing Putin Video
March 21, 2023
Kremlin.ru/Handout via Reuters
The Kremlin has shifted to damage control mode after Vladimir Putin’s latest PR stunt was derailed by a public show of disgust for him.
The Russian leader made a show of his alleged visit to Ukraine’s Mariupol over the weekend, in which people identified by the Kremlin as local residents treated him as their savior, thanking him for Russia’s “help” and calling their new home a “little piece of heaven.”
In a brief part of the video that had apparently been overlooked by Putin’s team, however, a woman was heard shouting, “It’s all untrue, it’s all for show!” just as the Russian leader began reading his lines. Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin could be seen grinning uncomfortably as Putin’s security team set off to track down the lone protester.

How an Old Affidavit Could Undercut Trump’s Future Defense in the Stormy Daniels Case
March 21, 2023

“I pledge to be a better man tomorrow, and will never, ever let you down.”
That was what Donald Trump said on Oct. 7, 2016, as part of his video apology for the now infamous Access Hollywood tape. That day, Republican leaders—including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, House Speaker Paul Ryan, and Trump’s own running mate Mike Pence—had all rebuked his behavior on the tape. In a late-night Facebook Live video, Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) called on Trump to “step aside.”
The very next day—the first day of Trump’s new era as a “better man”—his attorney Michael Cohen began negotiating on Trump’s behalf to keep a porn star quiet about a sex romp that she and Trump had four months after his wife gave birth to his youngest son.

North Carolina’s Supreme Court Is Poised to Hand Power to Republicans
March 21, 2023
Photo Illustration by Thomas Levinson/The Daily Beast
The North Carolina Supreme Court’s decision to rehear a case on gerrymandering—that it just decided last year—is a canary-in-the-coal mine signal of just how emboldened judges now feel about blatantly politicizing their judicial decisions.
In February 2022, the state’s high court struck down Republican-drawn congressional and legislative maps as violations of the North Carolina Constitution in the case of Harper v. Hall. The court reasoned that the GOP plan violated the North Carolina Constitution’s equal protection, free speech, and freedom of assembly clauses by likely giving 10 of the 14 House of Representative seats to Republicans, even though voters divide about 50-50 Democrat versus Republican in the state overall.
But less than a year later, the court decided to rehear the case, which it did on March 14, and the same court now appears poised to overrule its own barely 1-year old precedent. Well, almost the same court.

A MAGA Lawyer’s Last-Ditch Effort to Kill a Trump Indictment
March 21, 2023
Photo Illustration by Thomas Levinson/The Daily Beast/Reuters/NBC News
A Manhattan grand jury’s indictment of Donald Trump has started to look like an inevitability, as cable news—and Trump himself—speculate that charges could drop any hour now. But a lawyer who’s played a bit part in a number of MAGA scandals has now come out of nowhere to try to derail the entire case.
On Monday, the grand jury heard shocking testimony from Rudy Giuliani lawyer Bob Costello, who once again tried to pin the blame for Trump’s hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels on a familiar fall guy: Michael Cohen.
For years, Costello has been a low-key yet crucial background character in Trumpworld. He investigated crimes at the Southern District of New York—the same legendary federal prosecutor’s office once led by Giuliani—and in the decades since, Costello has stood by the former mayor’s side as Giuliani became a MAGA movement celebrity, with Costello also becoming a sort of Forrest Gump for many of the biggest scandals in that world.

Anthony Fauci: Rightwingers Who Want Him Killed Have ‘No Noble End Goal’
March 21, 2023
Photo Illustration by Elizabeth Brockway/The Daily Beast/Reuters
In January 2021, Dr. Anthony Fauci allowed a documentary crew to follow him during his second year as the lightning rod in a violent storm—the face of the nation’s guidelines for controlling and combating the COVID-19 pandemic.
The timing was auspicious. American Masters: Dr. Tony Fauci, which premieres March 21 on PBS, begins with Fauci watching the inauguration of Joe Biden, which would mark a seismic shift in his work with the White House as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the chief medical adviser to the president.
At that point, nearly 24 million Americans had been infected by COVID. Stoked by the misinformation disseminated by right-wing networks, politicized fury unleashed by Republican members of Congress, and taunts by then-President Donald Trump, one vocal contingent of the country had spent the better part of a year launching threats at Fauci as he attempted to mitigate the dangers of the pandemic. “It really is, ‘Let’s prosecute Fauci! Let’s hang him! Let’s shoot him. Let’s kill him!’” Fauci tells The Daily Beast. “To the point where I have to have federal marshals with me all the time.”

Paula Pell spent 18 seasons toiling behind the scenes as one of Saturday Night Live’s most legendary—and often unsung—comedy writers. Now, with her 60th birthday approaching in April, she’s never been a bigger star.
In this episode of The Last Laugh podcast, Pell shares her unlikely SNL origin story, breaks down why she stayed for so long, and reveals what it’s been like to finally become the comedic performer she’s always wanted to be on shows like A.P. Bio, Die Hart 2: Die Harter, and Girls5eva, which was recently picked up by Netflix for its third season. Pell also opens up about how SNL changed—for better and worse—during her nearly two decades there and how she knew it was time to move on.
As much as Pell is used to filming slower-paced comedy projects at this point, the adrenaline of live TV will never leave her body. It even manifests when watching a live event like the Oscars.

Will Trump Really Do a Perp Walk in Cuffs?
March 21, 2023
Photo Illustration by Thomas Levinson/The Daily Beast/Reuters
Donald Trump’s arrest seems imminent if the number of capitalized words in his Truth Social posts is some kind of metric, but there are still questions left unanswered.
Questions like: Why is Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s indictment relating to Stormy Daniels likely to be the first for the former president and not one related to Jan. 6? Is House Speaker Kevin McCarthy in love with Trump or afraid of him? And, this big one: Will we see Trump do a perp walk?
Starting with the perp walk question, The New Abnormal political podcast co-host Andy Levy shares why he isn't so hopeful with co-host Danielle Moodie on this all-Trump episode.

It’s Their High School Reunion—And the End of the World
March 21, 2023
Photo Illustration by Elizabeth Brockway/The Daily Beast/Amazon Prime
High school reunions are fear-inducing enough without adding the apocalypse to the mix. That’s the premise of Prime Video’s newest show, Class of ’07, now streaming on the platform.
Class of ’07 follows Zoe (Emily Browning), fresh off a humiliating stint on a reality dating show. She’s gone off the grid in an attempt to heal her bruised ego, which just so happens to coincide with the 10-year high reunion of her all-girl’s private boarding school. And also a tidal wave.
The latest entry in the canon of apocalyptic series, Class of ’07 examines how we cope in the face of overwhelming danger and dwindling resources, with a healthy dose of comedy and nostalgia. Browning and co-star Caitlin Stasey, who international viewers will recognize from Reign, Please Like Me, and as the chilling grinning visage from the promotional poster for 2022’s surprise horror hit Smile, liken their own responses to such an event as being akin to Station Eleven, the HBO Max series based on Emily St. John Mandel’s book of the same name that follows a theater troupe at the end of the world.

Jimmy Kimmel Declares Donald Trump ‘The Dumbest Criminal in the World’
March 21, 2023
ABC
By now, you’ve probably heard that Donald Trump may very well be indicted for his shady financial dealings in paying off porn star Stormy Daniels after their alleged affair. Jimmy Kimmel couldn’t be happier to witness the fallout—even though he knows Trump only has himself to blame. “The truth is, there’s no good reason for Trump to be in any of this trouble,” the late-night host told viewers on Monday night. Kimmel believes that if “Casa-no-brain had just paid Stormy Daniels the $130,000 himself out of his Pizza Hut money or whatever, he wouldn’t be in this situation.” He added: “So many of his legal problems are based on [Trump] being an idiot,” citing the Jan. 6 riots and his illegal possession of top-secret documents at his home in Palm Beach as two additional, illustrative examples. “In every case, the reason he’s in trouble is because is the dumbest criminal in the world.”

Pastors Blame Donald Trump’s Prayer Call Fail on Flood of Trolls

Brett Rojo/USA Today Sports via Reuters
Donald Trump’s call into a Christian nationalist group’s prayer session was derailed Monday night, leaving the former president frustrated after the interview was flooded with “trolls,” the group’s leader claimed.
The snafu comes as a possible Trump indictment looms and the former president turns to the MAGA-faithful for support while demanding they “protest” nationwide.
A few minutes after joining the Pastors for Trump’s “prayer call”—which also featured longtime Trump ally Roger Stone— the former president’s connection was cut.

Al Franken Is Not Surprised Trump’s Downfall Was a Porn Star
March 21, 2023
Comedy Central
Al Franken said Monday that he wasn’t expecting for his guest hosting duties on The Daily Show to coincide with the potential indictment of former President Donald Trump—but he had just one word to express his feelings on the subject: “Finally!”
“Who would’ve ever thought that Donald Trump would be brought down a porn star?” Franken asked viewers on Monday night, before answering his own question: “All of us, right? It was pretty predictable.”
The way Franken sees it, it was practically inevitable. “Donald Trump paid Stormy Daniels to keep this story quiet, and here we are still talking about it seven years later. So that would be another failed Trump business venture.”

Simon Ateba, a White House reporter for Today News Africa and regular thorn in the side of White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, parlayed his disruptive appearance Monday in the briefing room into a friendly interview on Tucker Carlson Tonight in which he made a bizarre comment about having children with Jean-Pierre.
Ateba, who made repeated outbursts toward Jean-Pierre for not calling on him in what he claimed was “seven months,” argued that the First Amendment justified his anger.
“The First Amendment says that I have the right to ask questions—to do my job,” he told Carlson, even though it certainly does not mean the White House press secretary must answer all reporters’ inquiries, or call on everyone in the briefing room, no matter how persistent they are.

‘Star Wars’ Actor Dies After Collapsing Outside Train Station
March 21, 2023
GoFundMe
Star Wars actor and stuntman Paul Grant has died, just days after the 56-year-old was discovered by police outside London’s King’s Cross station and rushed to the hospital.
Grant had collapsed outside the train depot on March 16, Grant’s family told The Sun, and he was subsequently pronounced brain dead. The family said they made the decision to switch off life support for the actor—who starred as an Ewok alongside Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi—on March 19. A cause of death has not yet been released.
Grant, with a height of 4-foot-4, had appeared in a string of other films including Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone and alongside David Bowie in Labyrinth. He lived with spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita, a rare, genetic type of dwarfism that reportedly causes numerous health problems. He often described himself as “the king of the Dwarves.”

Fox Host Finally Admits It: ‘Woke’ Is Whatever You Want It to Be
March 21, 2023
Fox News
What it means to be “woke” is in the eye of the right-wing beholder, Fox News host Dana Perino admitted Monday, just one week after a conservative author’s struggle to define the term on live TV went viral.
Perino was reacting to commentary from MSNBC host Jen Psaki on Sunday in which the former Biden White House press secretary said that the term — which conservatives on Fox News have hurled at topics as disparate as Xbox and Legos — is “simply not the boogeyman [Republicans] would have you believe.”
Perino began by likening the term’s fluid meaning to that of “political correctness,” citing the approval of audience members when Donald Trump criticized it during rallies in 2015 and 2016. “Everybody that was clapping knew exactly what he meant,” she said.

Fox Hosts Aren’t Coping With Possible Trump Indictment
March 21, 2023
Fox News
Fox News hosts fretted Monday over the potential indictment of Donald Trump for a $130,000 hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential campaign.
“They better not put my president in prison,” an upset Jesse Watters said on The Five before clinging to Trump’s popular vote count in the 2020 election as some sort of defense. “He represents 74 million Americans. And if he’s the nominee, you’re putting 74 million votes in prison. And that’s how I see it.”
After Watters downplayed Trump’s potential crime as a mere “bookkeeping charge,” he turned his attention to other crimes in New York, specifically violent, antisemitic ones, and accused Manhattan District Attorney Bragg of not seeking harsher sentences in those cases. “He’s emptying the prison—what, to make room for Trump?” Watters exclaimed. “No one else is getting charged with anything.”

The 1965 Civil Rights March That Changed Everything

March 21, 1965
Walter Dobyne intends to make it all the way from Selma to Montgomery this time. The 18-year-old student who was arrested with other voting rights activists in Marion, Alabama, in February and tear-gassed two weeks ago on Bloody Sunday now stands with some 3,600 other would-be marchers outside Selma’s Brown Chapel. This time, they will not be defying a court order when they embark upon the five-day 54-mile journey; Judge Frank M. Johnson, who had previously banned the march, has issued an injunction allowing it to go forward.
In his decision, Judge Johnson blasted Jim Clark, finding the local sheriff, along with his deputies and possemen, had engaged in “an almost continuous pattern of conduct... of harassment, intimidation, coercion, threatening conduct, and, sometimes, brutal mistreatment.” To prevent a recurrence of the Bloody Sunday brutality on the Edmund Pettus Bridge and to ensure safe passage through inhospitable counties, the judge ordered both the State of Alabama and the federal government to provide marchers with protection. One thousand U.S soldiers have been called to Selma. Army helicopters fly overhead.

How in the World Is the Baby Formula Crisis Still Going?

If you searched “baby formula shortage,” the top results assume you have last year’s crisis in mind.
“In 2022,” begins the suggested Wikipedia page, many American families struggled to buy enough formula because of a coincidence of federal import restrictions and domestic production problems, the latter exacerbated by the fact that 90 percent of U.S.-made formula comes from just four companies.
But the formula shortage isn’t only last year’s crisis. It’s still happening—not on the same scale, thankfully, and not everywhere at once.

People Are Already Making Deepfake Videos of Trump’s Arrest
March 20, 2023
Illustration by Elizabeth Brockway/The Daily Beast
Newswatchers don’t have to wait for real images of Donald Trump in handcuffs—deepfakes are already flooding social media thanks to artificial intelligence technology that lets any hoaxer pose as a breaking news photographer.
Trump announced on Saturday morning that he expects to be arrested on Tuesday on charges related to a hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels. It’s unclear whether Trump will be indicted, much less led to jail in cuffs. But AI programs like Midjourney have made it easy for Trump’s fans and foes alike to generate lifelike pictures of his perp walk.
“Unfortunately, these tools for creating realistic images are very useful for hoaxing the public,” Joan Donovan, a Harvard University researcher and author of the book Meme Wars told The Daily Beast. “We are witnessing a new form of ‘anticipatory disinformation,’ where rumors are made into reality through the creation of media covering events that never happened.”

Anyone who is thinking about answering Donald Trump’s latest call for protests should consider messages that a Proud Boys leader posted after the storming of the Capitol two years ago.
“Alright I’m gonna say it. FUCK TRUMP. Fuck him more than Biden. I’ve followed this guy for 4 years and given everything and lost it all,” 32-year-old Ethan Nordean wrote.
The Jan. 20, 2021, post from a Telegram chat group was entered into evidence on Thursday in Washington, D.C., federal court. Nordean and four other senior members of the far-right white supremacist group are on trial there for sedition.

Simon Rex Wants You to Take Him Seriously—Even if He Can’t Yet
March 20, 2023
Photo Illustration by Thomas Levinson/The Daily Beast/Reuters
Whether you already knew who Simon Rex was or not when you watched Red Rocket, you absolutely were a fan of him afterward. The 2021 dramedy, from indie darling Sean Baker (Tangerine, The Florida Project), starred Rex in an against-type role—and his first significant appearance in several years. As down-and-out porn star Mikey, Rex employed his past in the adult film industry as well as his natural comic timing. But he also surprised and endeared audiences with his ease at tapping into the character’s sadder, bleaker sides.
It’s a daring, unforgettable performance, one that made Rex one to watch going forward. After winning several accolades—and most notably the Independent Spirit Award for Best Male Lead—Rex quickly transformed a reputation as an MTV VJ and Scary Movie regular in his early career into one of an acclaimed, prestige-ready actor.
That’s obvious from his two supporting turns at this year’s SXSW Film Festival. In Down Low, a chaotic queer comedy about sex, drugs, and murder, Rex plays a cracked-out necrophiliac named Fleshpuppet. It’s a scene-stealing performance, as he makes an obvious joke into a textured character.

The Lords Of Chaos: Iraq Invasion 20 Years Later
March 21, 2023
The Lords Of Chaos: Iraq Invasion 20 Years Later
Authored by Chris Hedges via Consortium News/ScheerPost.com,

Two decades ago, I sabotaged my career at The New York Times. It was a conscious choice. I had spent seven years in the Middle East, four of them as the Middle East Bureau Chief. I was an Arabic speaker. I believed, like nearly all Arabists, including most of those in the State Department and the C.I.A., that a “preemptive” war against Iraq would be the most costly strategic blunder in American history.

It would also constitute what the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg called the “supreme international crime.” While Arabists in official circles were muzzled, I was not. I was invited by them to speak at The State Department, The United States Military Academy at West Point and to senior Marine Corps officers scheduled to be deployed to Kuwait to prepare for the invasion.

We’re Number One – by Mr. Fish

Mine was not a popular view nor one a reporter, rather than an opinion columnist, was permitted to express publicly according to the rules laid down by the newspaper. But I had experience that gave me credibility and a platform. I had reported extensively from Iraq. I had covered numerous armed conflicts, including the first Gulf War and the Shi’ite uprising in southern Iraq where I was taken prisoner by The Iraqi Republican Guard.

I easily dismantled the lunacy and lies used to promote the war, especially as I had reported on the destruction of Iraq’s chemical weapons stockpiles and facilities by the United Nations Special Commission (UNSCOM) inspection teams. I had detailed knowledge of how degraded the Iraqi military had become under U.S. sanctions. Besides, even if Iraq did possess “weapons of mass destruction” that would not have been a legal justification for war.

The death threats towards me exploded when my stance became public in numerous interviews and talks I gave across the country. They were either mailed in by anonymous writers or expressed by irate callers who would daily fill up the message bank on my phone with rage-filled tirades. Right-wing talk shows, including Fox News, pilloried me, especially after I was heckled and booed off a commencement stage at Rockford College for denouncing the war.

The Wall Street Journal wrote an editorial attacking me. Bomb threats were called into venues where I was scheduled to speak. I became a pariah in the newsroom. Reporters and editors I had known for years would lower their heads as I passed, fearful of any career-killing contagion. I was issued a written reprimand by The New York Times to cease speaking publicly against the war. I refused. My tenure was over.

No Accountability

What is disturbing is not the cost to me personally. I was aware of the potential consequences. What is disturbing is that the architects of these debacles have never been held accountable and remain ensconced in power. They continue to promote permanent war, including the ongoing proxy war in Ukraine against Russia, as well as a future war against China.

The politicians who lied to us — George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice, Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden to name but a few — extinguished millions of lives, including thousands of American lives, and left Iraq along with Afghanistan, Syria, Somalia, Libya and Yemen in chaos. They exaggerated or fabricated conclusions from intelligence reports to mislead the public. The big lie is taken from the playbook of totalitarian regimes.

The cheerleaders in the media for war — Thomas Friedman, David Remnick, Richard Cohen, George Packer, William Kristol, Peter Beinart, Bill Keller, Robert Kaplan, Anne Applebaum, Nicholas Kristof, Jonathan Chait, Fareed Zakaria, David Frum, Jeffrey Goldberg, David Brooks and Michael Ignatieff — were used to amplify the lies and discredit the handful of us, including Michael Moore, Robert Scheer and Phil Donahue, who opposed the war.

The US has engaged in over eight major conflicts since it declared its War on Terror 19 years ago.

Since then, more than 37 million people have been displaced in US-related wars.

These courtiers were often motivated more by careerism than idealism. They did not lose their megaphones or lucrative speaking fees and book contracts once the lies were exposed, as if their crazed diatribes did not matter. They served the centers of power and were rewarded for it.

Many of these same pundits are pushing further escalation of the war in Ukraine, although most know as little about Ukraine or NATO’s provocative and unnecessary expansion to the borders of Russia as they did about Iraq.

“I told myself and others that Ukraine is the most important story of our time, that everything we should care about is on the line there,” George Packer writes in The Atlantic magazine. “I believed it then, and I believe it now, but all of this talk put a nice gloss on the simple, unjustifiable desire to be there and see.”

Packer views war as a purgative, a force that will jolt a country, including the U.S., back to the core moral values he supposedly found amongst American volunteers in Ukraine. “I didn’t know what these men thought of American politics, and I didn’t want to know,” he writes of two U.S. volunteers.

“Back home we might have argued; we might have detested each other. Here, we were joined by a common belief in what the Ukrainians were trying to do and admiration for how they were doing it. Here, all the complex infighting and chronic disappointments and sheer lethargy of any democratic society, but especially ours, dissolved, and the essential things — to be free and live with dignity — became clear. It almost seemed as if the U.S. would have to be attacked or undergo some other catastrophe for Americans to remember what Ukrainians have known from the start.”

The Iraq war cost at least $3 trillion and the 20 years of warfare in the Middle East cost a total of some $8 trillion. The occupation created Shi’ite and Sunni death squads, fueled horrific sectarian violence, gangs of kidnappers, mass killings and torture.

It gave rise to al-Qaeda cells and spawned ISIS which at one point controlled a third of Iraq and Syria. ISIS carried out rape, enslavement and mass executions of Iraqi ethnic and religious minorities such as the Yazidis. It persecuted Chaldean Catholics and other Christians. This mayhem was accompanied by an orgy of killing by U.S. occupation forces, such as as the gang rape and murder of Abeer al-Janabi, a 14-year-old girl and her family by members of the U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne. The U.S. routinely engaged in the torture and execution of detained civilians, including at Abu Ghraib and Camp Bucca.

There is no accurate count of lives lost, estimates in Iraq alone range from hundreds of thousands to over a million. Some 7,000 U.S. service members died in our post 9/11 wars, with over 30,000 later committing suicide, according to Brown University’s Costs of War project.

Yes, Saddam Hussein was brutal and murderous, but in terms of a body count, we far outstripped his killings, including his genocidal campaigns against the Kurds. We destroyed Iraq as a unified country, devastated its modern infrastructure, wiped out its thriving and educated middle class, gave birth to rogue militias and installed a kleptocracy that uses the country’s oil revenues to enrich itself.

Ordinary Iraqis are impoverished. Hundreds of Iraqis protesting in the streets against the kleptocracy have been gunned down by police. There are frequent power outages. The Shi’ite majority, closely allied with Iran, dominates the country.

The occupation of Iraq, beginning 20 years ago today, turned the Muslim world and the Global South against us. The enduring images we left behind from two decades of war include President Bush standing under a “Mission Accomplished” banner onboard the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier barely one month after he invaded Iraq, the bodies of Iraqis in Fallujah that were burned with white phosphorus and the photos of torture by U.S. soldiers.

To The Hague

The U.S. is desperately attempting to use Ukraine to repair its image. But the rank hypocrisy of calling for “a rules-based international order” to justify the $113 billion in arms and other aid that the U.S. has committed to send to Ukraine, won’t work. It ignores what we did. We might forget, but the victims do not.

The only redemptive path is charging Bush, Cheney and the other architects of the wars in the Middle East, including Joe Biden, as war criminals in the International Criminal Court. Haul Russian President Vladimir Putin off to The Hague, but only if Bush is in the cell next to him.

Many of the apologists for the war in Iraq seek to justify their support by arguing that “mistakes” were made, that if, for example, the Iraqi civil service and army were not disbanded after the U.S. invaded, the occupation would have worked. They insist that our intentions were honorable. They ignore the hubris and lies that led to the war, the misguided belief that the U.S. could be the sole major power in a unipolar world. They ignore the massive military expenditures spent annually to achieve this fantasy.

They ignore that the war in Iraq was only an episode in this demented quest.

A national reckoning with the military fiascos in the Middle East would expose the self-delusion of the ruling class. But this reckoning is not taking place. We are trying to wish the nightmares we perpetuated in the Middle East away, burying them in a collective amnesia. “World War III Begins With Forgetting,” warns Stephen Wertheim.

The celebration of our national “virtue” by pumping weapons into Ukraine, by sustaining at least 750 military bases in more than 70 countries and by expanding our naval presence in the South China Sea, is meant to fuel this dream of global dominance.

What the mandarins in Washington fail to grasp is that most of the globe does not believe the lie of American benevolence or support its justifications for U.S. interventions. China and Russia, rather than passively accepting U.S. hegemony, are building up their militaries and strategic alliances.

China Brokers Deal

China, last week, brokered an agreement between Iran and Saudi Arabia to re-establish relations after seven years of hostility, something once expected of U.S. diplomats. The rising influence of China creates a self-fulfilling prophecy for those who call for war with Russia and China, one that will have consequences far more catastrophic than those in the Middle East.

There is a national weariness with permanent war, especially with inflation ravaging family incomes and 57 percent of Americans unable to afford a $1,000 emergency expense. The Democratic Party and the establishment wing of the Republican Party, who peddled the lies about Iraq, are war parties.

Donald Trump’s call to end the war in Ukraine, like his lambasting of the war in Iraq as the “worst decision” in American history, are attractive political stances to Americans struggling to stay afloat. The working poor, even those whose options for education and employment are limited, are no longer as inclined to fill the ranks. They have far more pressing concerns than a unipolar world or war with Russia or China. The isolationism of the far right is a potent political weapon.

The pimps of war, leaping from fiasco to fiasco, cling to the chimera of U.S. global supremacy. The dance macabre will not stop until we publicly hold them accountable for their crimes, ask those we have wronged for forgiveness and give up our lust for uncontested global power.

The day of reckoning, vital if we are to protect what is left of our anemic democracy and curb the appetites of the war machine, will only come when we build mass anti-war organizations that demand an end to the imperial folly threatening to extinguish life on the planet.

North Korea Claims 1.4 Million People Just Enlisted To Fight 'Imperialist' US

North Korea Claims 1.4 Million People Just Enlisted To Fight 'Imperialist' US
North Korean state media has been touting new claims of mass enlistments amid "an atmosphere of war" and urgent defense preparedness in response to ongoing joint US-South Korea drills, which are the largest in five years.

The state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) initially over the weekend cited a figure of 800,000 citizens having newly signed up for military service, most of them young people, while other state-linked sources are saying it's well over one million enlistees. By Monday the number jumped significantly to claims of around 1.4 million people enlisting.

"Amidst soaring anger and hostility toward the US imperialists and the South Korean puppet traitors going mad over the reckless nuclear war provocation targeting the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, the ranks of hot-blooded youths bravely and vigorously set out to defend the homeland are growing day by day is growing," a Pyongyang statement said.

The reports follow the North Korean government holding a major new recruiting drive, hosting events across the country while conducting near daily test launches of projectiles - including the latest on Sunday which included a 'mock nuclear warhead' as a warning to Seoul and Washington.

State media described that "youth college students from universities in various places as well as high-end middle school students from all over the country" expressed their determination "to join forces in the fight…"

The KCNA report additionally cited citizens' willingness "mercilessly wipe out the war maniacs" - in what's also clearly a propaganda blitz and bit of signaling aimed at the south and at the west. Kim Jung Un had promised a fierce response to the major US-South Korean drills which have lately included American B1 bombers and stealth jets joining the drills, dubbed Freedom Shield joint exercise.

North Korea’s state-run television aired a video of citizens signing up to enlist or reenlist in the military to counter the ‘imperialist Americans’ and that about 1.4 million people have expressed a desire to join the army as of March 19th https://t.co/VfGfWHBlBF pic.twitter.com/Y3nArTKI7N
— Reuters (@Reuters) March 20, 2023

But it seems Kim hasn't gotten the reaction or attention from Washington that he hoped for, and thus could be daily ramping up the threatening missile launches and rhetoric.

The South Korean military, for its part, promised to continue undeterred with the US drills: "The South Korea-US alliance maintains the best-combined defense posture in the face of North Korea’s continued regional instability," a press release said. "Going forward, we will realize 'Peace through Strength' and enhance the credibility of the US extended deterrence based on the solid capabilities and posture of the alliance," it added.

Too Wrong To Fail
March 21, 2023
Too Wrong To Fail
Authored by Thomas McArdle via The Epoch Times,

As the old saw goes, a banker is someone who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining and then wants it back as soon as the first drops of rain fall.

Hostility toward money lenders goes way back. In the Middle Ages in Europe, to deposit your money with one was unlawful, “even as it would be unlawful to deposit one’s sword with a madman, a maiden with a libertine, or food with a glutton.”

Loans may no longer be against the law, but bankers have been, and still are, convenient villains in popular culture.

In the movie “It’s a Wonderful Life,” for example, old man Henry Potter mocked George Bailey’s just-deceased father by remarking that “ideals without common sense can ruin this town.” And he said of George issuing a loan to his friend Ernie, Bedford Falls’s cabby, “You see, if you shoot pool with some employee here, you can come and borrow money.”

Were the now-failed Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank acting sensibly or madly? And did they shoot pool with powerful Washington figures in hopes that they could avoid ruin despite their lack of sense?

How much common sense is there in the “ideals” associated with SVB not having a chief risk officer for most of last year as it hurtled toward collapse, but at the same time employing a chief diversity, equity, and inclusion officer and making a point of focusing on climate change, and social and corporate governance policies? “Issues of inequity in the innovation sector” apparently mattered more to SVB president and CEO Greg Becker than the soundness of his bank’s loans in an environment of rising interest rates amid high inflation.

It’s no shock to find that Joe Biden’s presidential campaign and political action committees were bestowed with at least $11,900 from SVB executives, with SVB managing director Gerald Brady giving $5,600 to Biden’s 2020 campaign, according to the Federal Election Commission. The Democratic National Committee and various party politicians are announcing the return or the money or donating funds received to charities.

Congress early this month moved against a Biden administration rule forcing pension funds holding $12 trillion of 150 million Americans’ savings to include environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) in their investment decisions—in other words, make your retirement finances dependent on the same kind of thinking that led SVB to collapse. ESG equities distinctly underperform the market.

Who can forget Jimmy Stewart as George Bailey scrambling to hand out cash meant for his honeymoon to beleaguered depositors during the run on the Bailey Savings & Loan? But the tone-deaf sixteenth largest bank in the country was handing out company-wide bonuses to its employees for their 2022 work just hours before the government had to take it over.

In the case of Signature Bank, it wasn’t George Bailey shooting pool, it was superstar bankers poached from competitors in at least one case spending “most of his week golfing with prospective clients.” Big Signature Bank customers ultimately included rap superstars. And speaking of Ernie the Bedford Falls cabby, among Signature’s peculiar banking practices was to encourage taking out loans to buy New York City’s infamously expensive taxi medallions—in itself a regulatory shell game—in expectation of Uber and Lyft upending the passenger transport landscape.

Of far more import, however, was Signature’s over-exposure in cryptocurrency, where it placed over a quarter of its $109 billion in deposits before the FTX debacle last year that sent crypto spiraling to earth.

The bailing out of these two boutique, politically fashionable institutions by the “wokest” of woke presidents is for the benefit of the well-to-do; most of the tens of billions of dollars in deposits exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s (FDIC) $250,000 ceiling. Would a bank in deep trouble in, say, Roberts County in the Texas panhandle, where the median average family income is $50,400, have received such exceptional treatment from Uncle Sam?

And don’t swallow Treasury Secretary and former Federal Reserve chairwoman Janet Yellen’s claims that the “bank fees”-funded rescues will leave no taxpayers on the hook. Like any other business, banks ultimately pass the taxes and fees imposed upon them by the government down to their customers, whether it happens individually or collectively, conspicuously or in hidden manner. As Fordham University law school professor and bank bailout expert Richard Squire points out, while management at SVB and Signature may be being allowed to save face, “the venture capital firms and the startups are being bailed out. There is no doubt about that.”

The Biden administration’s nearly $5 trillion in spending is the engine behind the inflation that forced the Federal Reserve to embark on an extended policy of raising the interest rates under its direct control—which in turn has put the squeeze on banks, especially those conducting fast and loose financial practices. But as scary as that chain reaction may be, the FDIC’s guarantee to reimburse all the rich uninsured depositors at the two failed institutions, making an exception to its $250,000 cap, and no matter how big the depositors’ accounts, is more alarming.

Such measures take the United States down a road toward total nationalization of the banking system and removes the indispensable elements of accountability and discipline all businesses need: certainty that misjudgment and irresponsibility must come with a cost.

When Washington bails that out, America turns into Potterville.

A "Stock Clearance": Most Major Automakers Slash Prices In China As Demand Stalls

A "Stock Clearance": Most Major Automakers Slash Prices In China As Demand Stalls
Move over Tesla: both Ford and GM are also trying to take a page out of the 'price cut' playbook that the EV manufacturer has been (successfully) running in China over the last couple months.

The move is coming after lifting pandemic controls failed to spur significant demand in China, the Wall Street Journal reported this week. Ford and GM will be joined by BMW and Volkswagen in offering the discounts and promotions on EVs, the report says.

Retail auto sales plunged the first two months of the year and automakers are facing additional challenges in trying to transition their business models to prioritize EVs over conventional internal combustion engine vehicles.

Ford is offering $6,000 off its Mustang Mach-E, putting the standard version of its EV at just $31,000. Last month, only 84 of the vehicles were sold, compared to 1,500 sales in December. There was some pulling forward of demand due to the phasing out of subsidies heading into the new year, and Ford had also cut prices by about 9% in December.

A spokesperson for Ford called it a "stock clearance".

Discounts at Volkswagen are ranging from around $2,200 to $7,300 a car. The cuts will affect 20 gas powered and electric models. Its electric ID series is seeing price cuts of almost $6,000. The company called the cuts "temporary promotions due to general reluctance among car buyers, the new emissions rule and discounts offered by competitors."

Even more shocking is Citroën-maker Dongfeng Motor Group, who is offering a 40% discount on its C6 gas-powered sedan, now priced at $18,000.

Kelvin Lau, an analyst at Daiwa Capital Markets, told the Journal that automakers are also trying to get rid of 500,000 vehicles collectively stored in their inventory, most of which are older vehicles that won't meet new emissions standards.

David Zhang, a Shanghai-based independent automobile analyst, added: “Some car makers have been seeing very few sales. At this rate, the manufacturers’ production and dealership networks will collapse.”

Hopefully Tesla is paying close attention to the cuts - but perhaps even moreso to their mainland China competition. Domestic-based market leader BYD has only cut prices "a single percentage point".

Americans To Bear Burden Of Monetary System's Gradual Deterioration, Economist Says
Authored by Petr Svab via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),

Ordinary Americans can expect their wealth to get repeatedly chipped away as the monetary system degrades and requires progressively more intervention by authorities to perpetuate itself, according to an influential author and economist. It may take “a very long time,” however, for the system to actually break, he told The Epoch Times.

The recent downfall of two sizable American banks, Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and First Republic Bank, rattled the financial markets. Investors are now looking to the Federal Reserve to provide relief and within months reverse its policy of raising interest rates. That’s after the central bank, together with the Treasury and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), already shored up the banking sector, offering special loans and guaranteeing uninsured deposits for the failed banks.

The failures, however, represent a symptom of a broader problem—one the central bank can’t fix, according to Daniel Lacalle, fund manager, economist, and prolific author.

“The problem here is the concept of ‘what can be done?’” he said, arguing central bank market interventions intended to smooth over market perturbations tend to simply redistribute the risk and losses—and at the added cost of making the system more fragile in the long run.

“Every time they try to solve a bubble with more liquidity injections, they create another bubble,” he said. “What you have to do first is not implement crazy monetary policies.”

He was referring to the policy of extremely low interest rates that the Fed maintained for most of the past decade.

Free Money

Lacalle alluded to the Austrian economic theory, which posits that central banks can’t set interest rates correctly. When the economy is not doing well, central banks set the rates artificially low in order to “stimulate” the economy. That allows companies to loosen fiscal discipline and makes credit available to projects that would be otherwise too risky to attract capital. When the economy “overheats”—the availability of credit outstrips the production capacity of the economy, resulting in inflation—the central bank raises rates, tightens credit, and the poorly performing risky projects go under. Because rate hikes take more than a year to fully manifest in the economy, central bankers tend to continue hiking for too long. Excessively high rates then cause the destruction of even viable businesses. Recession ensues. The central bank then tries to cushion the recession blow by dramatically cutting rates, thereby repeating the cycle.

“After a decade of excess, of course, there are going to be episodes like SVB and these other regional banks,” Lacalle said.

SVB was the banker of choice for many Silicon Valley tech startups and their venture capital funders that have benefited from the protracted period of loose credit. In just a few years, it grew into one of the 20 largest banks in the country, with some $200 billion in assets. When its investments started to underperform and its stock dropped, clients got cold feet and many moved their money elsewhere, triggering a bank run.

Regulation

Some economists have argued that the SVB crash was the fault of regulators. The Federal Reserve of San Francisco should have stepped in when it saw warning signs of SVB’s instability, argued the Brookings Institution’s Aaron Klein in a recent commentary.

Lacalle wasn’t convinced. He pointed out that on paper, SVB was following the regulatory mantras.

“You’re hedging your volatile positions in technology and risky ventures, which obviously is your core business—that’s nothing we can do about—and you’re hedging it with long-term treasuries and mortgage-backed securities,” he said.

But it was exactly the large treasuries portfolio, which dropped in value due to the Fed’s rate hikes last year, that pushed SVB over the edge.

Klein also pointed to SVB’s unhedged $100 billion position in mortgage-backed securities. But Lacalle noted that the Fed itself has designated those as low-risk, sitting on $2.6 trillion of them. If the Fed, as a regulator, was to declare mortgage-backed securities as risky, how could the Fed, as a monetary policy setter, declare them low-risk?

Intervention

The Fed’s response to the SVB crisis is a typical example, Klein suggested, of the system’s underlying flaw—a short-term solution with long-term negative implications.

Shortly after regulators took over SVB, the Fed, the Treasury, and the FDIC announced that no depositors in the failed banks will lose money, despite most of the deposits being above the FDIC insurance limit of $250,000 per account. Furthermore, to ensure no other banks hit a liquidity crunch because of the value drop in their treasury holdings, the Fed will allow them one year to borrow against those holdings at “par value”—the Fed will de facto pretend the treasuries are worth more than they currently are.

The Fed’s apparent motivation was to forestall runs on other smaller banks. Yet its actions created “an incentive to take even more risk by the next bank,” Lacalle said.

“The example of SVB is telling everyone that what they should do is exactly what SVB did because nothing’s going to happen. If things go well, you will make a lot of money and if things go badly, bad luck, but nothing’s going to happen. So what is the incentive to be prudent and to have a prudent level of risk management? Zero.”
