Neocolonial America
The US has taken other countries as our colonies since the 1898 Spanish-American War when we gained many of our US territories (provided you don't count the First Nations tribes). We became the empire we fought against in the revolution. Smedley told us how "War is a Racket" designed to profit the banksters/Epstein class in 1935. Since WWII we've altered our model from out right military conflict to something a bit more sinister. Take the Ukraine model for example. We go into the country with plenty of US-AID money to establish a variety of NGO's. The NGO's hire protesters and promote a coup of the government which doesn't submit to our demands...in Ukraine's case they were cooperating with Russia. The same scenario played out in Georgia, but they managed to resist. However, the neocons will not relent and continue to chisel away at Georgia's sovereignty. In 2024, we were successful in a soft coup of Bangladesh for their refusal to allow a US air base in their country. Currently we're using the same technique in Armenia, as well as Azerbaijan. Then there's the overt coup like kidnapping the duly elected president of Venezuela, Maduro, and the more subtle election payments in Brazil designed to defeat Lula.
Album of the Week 10-17-26
Submitted by joe shikspack on Sat, 10/17/2026 - 3:00pmAfternoon folks!
There's another helping of good stuff here for you. Starting off we have an album from Chicago slide guitarist Tampa Red, followed by another old school Chicago blues musician, piano player Johnnie Jones, who played as a sideman on a virtual who's who of Chicago blues records, this time accompanied by blues harmonica player Billy Boy Arnold. After that we have a compilation album from r&b singer/songwriter Young Jessie, then we move on to a great album of some blues rock from Robin Trower. In the diversity department this week we've got a rockabilly album from Sleepy LaBeef and a live album from Richard and Linda Thompson.
Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!
