What, no Labor Day post? You all know that Labor Day was created by the U.S. in order to delegitimize the longstanding international day of worker solidarity, May 1. Right? If you didn't know that, join the crowd. Your access to true facts and reliable information has been constrained since the day you were born. And it's getting worse at warp speed as genocide in Gaza kicks off what is undoubtedly the early stage of a third world war.
Ten things your corporate government and its media do not want you to know:

1) Hundreds of thousands turned out in demonstrations against the Israeli government's genocide in Gaza taking place amid a general strike that a labor court just ruled must end today, accepting the government's argument that is is "politically motivated." The trigger: six hostages found newly dead by Israeli soldiers, deaths that many in Israel blame on their own government.
2) Polio vaccinations for Gaza are an elaborate public relations ruse aimed at repairing Israel's reputation in the world, but they are medically unsound due to the oral vaccine being used and the underlying health conditions of Palestinian children.

3) Israel has expanded its genocidal attacks to include residences, refugee camps, and schools in the occupied West Bank this week, meeting with fierce resistance.
4) Journalists arrested or harassed by Western governments now include Scott Ritter, Richard Medhurst, and Sarah Wilkinson. Wilkinson was arrested and had her devices confiscated by 16 goons in black balaclavas who accused her of terrorism for two retweets she posted, according to her daughter. And the Cradle reported August 30 on a related arrest:
Richard Barnard, the cofounder of pro-Palestinian activist group, Palestine Action, was charged under the Terrorism Act by UK police on 29 August. Barnard is being accused of “expressing an opinion that is supportive of a proscribed organization contrary to section 12 of the Terrorism Act 2000.”
VP Kamala Harris shared in an interview with CNN that she favors censorship on the Facebook and Twitter platforms. Meanwhile, Telegram founder Pavel Durov was arrested in France for refusing to allow governments to remove encryption on that popular news-sharing platform. TikTok came under attack in the U.S. earlier this year when Congress ordered it to sell out to Western ownership or be banned.
5) Green Party candidate Dr. Jill Stein with VP Dr. Butch Ware are polling equal to the Democratic candidates among Muslim voters.
6) The Green Party has ballot access for Stein-Ware in 41 states, making it eligible to earn 500+ electoral college votes (260 are needed to win in November). Newsweek magazine published a deliberately false map about this, then revised it under pressure, but the revision is still far from correct.
7) Ukraine continues losing ground as Russia took out much of the country's electricity infrastructure this week. This is retaliation for Ukraine striking civilian targets inside Russia and in the face of Russia's willing to negotiate a ceasefire. Another consequence of NATO/Ukraine escalation is that Russia is reviewing its nuclear weapons use policies.

8) Israeli genocide profiteer Elbit Systems has shut down a facility in Cambridge, Massachusetts due to relentless pressure from pro Palestine activists.
9) Columbia University protesters who occupied and renamed Hind Hall last spring have had their charges dropped because they masked up and also covered many surveillance cameras, leading a judge to say it was impossible to use the CCTV footage to identify individuals. Colleges are mostly back and arrests are already occurring as students pick up where they left off vigorously opposing their universities' complicity in Israel's genocide.
10) Many of the U.S. Navy's vessels are currently deployed to support the blockade of Gaza. Meanwhile, the Navy is considering sidelining 17 support vessels due to a lack of personnel to operate the ships.
