(2021-09-20). The "United States" isn't a Nation, it's a Terrorist Organization. orinocotribune.com By Rainer Shea — Sep 16, 2021 | The idea that the United States represents an actual nation is a myth designed to comfort us in the face of the horrifying reality we on this continent are living out. This is a reality where an entire landmass has been illegally annexed, and put under an occupation which continues throughout the vast majority of Native territory.

In this episode of Rattling the Bars, TRNN Executive Producer and former Black Panther Eddie Conway discusses the differences between prisons in Cuba and in the United States. Of the two, only one incarcerates children, only one deliberately isolates prisoners from their families and communities, and only one uses long-term solitary confinement as a routine punishment—and it's not Cuba. "In Cuba you don't have solitary confinement," Conway says. "Because that's inhumane."
(2021-09-20). Germany's New Neo-Nazis: The Reichsbàºrger. counterpunch.org Only a few weeks ago, a Reichsbàºrger in Germany shot a police officer with a crossbow during a house's search in a remote town called Linden, in the north of Hessen. The Reichsbàºrger is accused of attempted manslaughter and he was sent to a prison until his court hearing. Violent attacks by the right-wing extremist Reichsbàºrger is nothing out of the ordinary in Germany. Germany's antisemitic and semi-fascistic Reichsbàºrger, also known as sovereign citizens — were at the forefront when a mob of right-wing extremists attacked Germany's parliament, the Bundestag in August 2020.
