US Railroad Workers ‘Under the Thumb’

https://www.counterpunch.org/2022/12/05/us-railroad-workers-under-the-thumb/

'This past week both the administration and Congress have made a #railroad #strike #illegal by passing legislation to that effect. Railroad workers in the US have always been a target of government #strike-prevention. The RailwayLaborAct in 1926 set the pattern that was taken up for the rest of the US labor-force with Taft-Hartley in 1947 and all #anti-strike measures that followed.

The current 2022 railroad negotiations and government intervention is but the latest example of joint corporate-government intervention in labor negotiations designed to #prevent-workers-from-striking.' We are in a period when the US ruling elites are willing to attack any challenge to their hegemony and power #domestically, as well as internationally. The government’s recent intervention to #deny #railroad #workers #the-right-to-strike is but the latest and most visible expression of the elites’ #class-war-policy-at-home.'

Also worth reading this classic article from Carl Bernstein in 1977: "The CIA and the Media".

' #JohnStockwell (ex-ClA) in #1983, explaining the role of the #ClA and #propaganda in #journalism— including #fake #stories and #photos for #manufactured #consent. He left the CIA when he decided that what they were doing was #endangering #national #security not #protecting it, citing deep concerns for the methods and results of CIA #paramilitary #operations in #Third-World countries.

The Man Who Made January 6 Possible

The Man Who Made January 6 Possible

The story of Johnny McEntee—the “deputy president” who rose to power at precisely the moment when democracy was falling apart
By Jonathan D. Karl

During the final year of the Trump administration, that office [Presidential Personnel Office] was transformed into an internal police force, obsessively monitoring administration officials for any sign of dissent, purging those who were deemed insufficiently devoted to Trump and frightening others into silence.... Some Trump aides privately compared the PPO to the East German Stasi or even the Gestapo—always on the lookout for traitors within.

'As much #light as #WikiLeaks has shone on the #dark #inner #workings of the #powerful over the years, the #persecution of #JulianAssange by those very same #power #structures has revealed far, far more. The more they seek to #persecute him the #brighter that #light #shines on them, making it easier and easier for us to see who they are, what they do, and how they do it.'
