textThe Nov. 3 "Electile Dysfunction" — Bourgeois Democracy at work by DLi
By all accounts, the U.S. Presidential election on Nov. 3 produced unprecedented confusion and acrimony. After nearly 2 weeks of uncertainty, it was determined that "Interventionist Joe" Biden won over the incompetent incumbent Donald Trump, aka Agent Orange, by more than 5 million votes. So, was it a clear repudiation of 4 years of a Failed USA State? Or, as mounting evidence seems to suggest, is it a classic case — as the apropos French saying goes — "The more things change, the more they ...

textThe tale of the stolen winner by Conrad Taler and Kurt Stand
The man unable to speak for a minute without lying, who had neither values nor ideals, who never read a book and knew nothing about music tried in an incredible and ridiculous way to create the fairy tale of the cheated victor. Nevertheless, a majority of American voters rejected Trump's lies and demagogic failures....

textBiggest humanitarian crisis in the world-US government complicit by Rafael Lutz
Trump concluded an arms deal worth almost $110 billion with the ultra-conservative kingdom. In total, the deal included arms purchases worth about $350 billion over a ten-year period. Saudi King Salman Abdulaziz then presented the U.S. President with the Kingdom's highest medal as "recognition of his efforts to further deepen the relationship between the two countries.”...

textUS billionaires got $1 trillion richer during Corona by Jakob Reimann and Bernd Hontschik
A recent study by the Institute for Policy Studies determined that the 647 billionaires in the USA have been able to increase their assets by $960 billion since the beginning of the corona crisis in mid-March by the cut-off date of November 17. A few hundred super-rich Americans* have thus increased their private wealth in eight months by the same amount as 93 countries together generate in a whole year....

textDeath Penalty, War & Eviction Watch by 55 Days to Go
Nazi Trump is wasting no time in destroying as much life as he can in his remaining 55 days in office. In July, he resurrected the federal death penalty and murdered 8 people so far this year and plans to murder 5 more in the next 55 days. He has threatened to bomb Iran which will most likely happen, if at all, during Thanksgiving Week or during Money Season week, 12/24/20-1/1/21. And he has yet to sign any bill extending unemployment benefits, eviction protections or economic stimulus whi...

textBolivia - the left returns to power by Otto Koenig and Richard Detje
The Bolivian people have proven that reason, dignity and fighting spirit cannot be suppressed either by a military coup or by government repression. The election result has implications not only for Bolivia, where it is an important step towards the restoration of democracy, but for the entire Latin American region in terms of democracy, national independence and economic and social progress....

textBourgeois Democracy: Tyranny of the Minority by DLi
The Nov. 3 Presidential election came close to being a third time that a minority-elected candidate got selected as the White House Occupant. Had 200,000 more ballots--less than 1/5 of 1% of total U.S. votes cast--in Michigan and Pennsylvania been cast in T-Rump's favor, the U.S. would have witnessed an absurd Tyranny of a Minority for the third time in the last 20 years. Only in the "Corporate-bin-Laden" media cocoon would the U.S. electoral system be deemed as the " beacon of democracy."...

textTrump is defeated by Joachim Bischoff and Bernhard Mueller
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are the new presidential team of the United States. In the weeks leading up to their inauguration on January 20, 2021, the incumbent who has been voted out of office puts many obstacles in their way. Donald Trump still sees himself as the winner of the election and tries to overturn the result in several states. Joe Biden has clearly won the presidential election....

"The country that was once an exemplary democracy is becoming a Third World banana republic," he says.For a week now, Joe Biden has been declared the winner of the election and future president. But the loser and previous incumbent Donald Trump refuses to acknowledge this. Trump claims he won the election and Biden wants to take the victory away from him.

textThe New Deal and Self-destructive Donald Trump by Michael Ferschke and Charlie Post
After the stock market crash of 1929, capitalism was hit by its worst depression to date. The U.S. economy was similarly hard hit as the German economy. From 1929 to 1932 industrial production halved and in a chain reaction over 5000 banks went bankrupt. Farmers' incomes shrank by 70 percent, unemployment rose to 25 percent, and there were no welfare state measures to cushion the misery....

In Sept 2020, UNICEF calculated that an additional 150 million children were pushed into poverty as a result of the economic collapse provoked by the quasi-global lockdown in spring.

textVienna: The Most Livable City of the World by Thomas Madreiter
As early as the zero hour, about ten years ago, we developed the vision of the Smart City with the involvement of civil society. There were countless workshops with politicians, scientists, business people and, of course, the city's residents. They all dealt with the question: What kind of Vienna do we want to live in by 2050? Citizens have said quite clearly: cars out, public transport and pedestrians in....

Donald Trump declared himself the winner, although the votes are far from being counted. His contempt for democracy knows no bounds. Anyone who previously thought that the USA was clearly different from Hungary or Poland was mistaken. According to the current count, more than 66 million Americans voted for a liar, racist and macho who thinks little of democracy....

textThe US economy needs Joe Biden by Edmund Phelps
The economic and socio-political record of US President Donald Trump is devastating. Wages stagnated even before the Corona crisis. Instead, the national debt increased because he lowered taxes for the rich - without any economic benefit. Joe Biden knows the reasons for the misery and knows what to do....
