American Democracy on the rocks: Two Wings, Four Despotisms - by Paul Street
Democracy is trumped in the United States by multiple, overlapping,
interrelated and mutually reinforcing forms of despotism. The Trump
administration and the Trumpified Republican Party, backed by a
cult-like base, embody a creepy, neofascistic variant of the disease.
The Republican White House and Senate are currently conducting a tasteless tutorial in tyranny, making a Monty Pythonesque mockery of the U.S. Constitution and “the rule of law.” The Great God Trump was caught red-handed setting the U.S. Founders’ wigs on fire by trying to trade military assistance and a White House visit to Ukraine’s newly elected president Volodomyr Zelensky in return for a Kiev press conference announcing an investigation based on a right-wing conspiracy theory meant to discredit Trump’s perceived U.S.-presidential rival, the conservative Democratic blowhard “Pool Chain” Joe Biden.
Confronted with this presidential misconduct by a “deep state” (likely CIA) whistleblower, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was compelled to overcome her reluctance to impeach the pestilential fiend who contaminates America and the world with his every vile emission.
The evidence of Trump’s criminal abuse of power is overwhelming. Equally convincing is the expert legal testimony contending that his offense is worthy of impeachment and removal.
UkraineGate is just one of the tangerine tyrant’s many mind-boggling misdeeds. It is far from his worst wrongdoing. Numerous other atrocities stand higher on the list of Trump’s most terrible transgressions: family separations at the border; kids in cages; the abrogation of asylum law; the pardoning of sociopathic war criminals and a fascist sheriff; the encouragement and sparking of lethal political violence; slashing Food Stamps and Medicaid for needy people deemed disposable; the proclamation of a fake national emergency; the failure to prepare for and respond adequately to deadly hurricanes; the continuation (over Congressional opposition) of U.S. participation in the crucifixion of Yemen; the diversion of taxpayer dollars to the construction of a hated nativist Wall; the message that Border Patrol agents should shoot asylum seekers and otherwise feel free to break the law; the sick campaign to remove tens of millions of people from health insurance; the cover provided for neo-Nazis and other white supremacists and for Saudi Arabia’s murderous vivisection of a dissident journalist; the reckless and monumentally criminal assassination of Iran’s top military commander; the malevolent acceleration of the carbon-capitalist war on livable ecology (for example); and…the list goes on.

E-Mail Fraud: Russian hackers allegedly have millions of email logins - by Robert Faturechi
A Russian hacking ring has secured a massive trove of stolen personal
data, including login information for more than 500 million email
addresses, security researchers told the New York Times.
According to the report, the records proving the breaches were discovered by Milwaukee-based Hold Security.
The company would not name the victims, but the newspaper got a security expert to confirm the authenticity of the stolen information.
According to the report, the alleged hackers are making money off the stolen data mainly by being commissioned by other groups to use the data to send spam messages.
The theft of so many logins and passwords, however, is particularly dangerous because people often use the passwords they use for their email logins on a number of other sites.
According to Hold Security’s assessment, the hacking ring is composed of several young men who work as a team.
“There is a division of labor within the gang,” Holden was quoted saying. “Some are writing the programming, some are stealing the data. It’s like you would imagine a small company; everyone is trying to make a living.”
Hold Security says it has begun notifying companies that have been affected.
