Baghdadi Had No Real Answer for the Crumbling of His Caliphate
Patrick Cockburn | counterpunch.org | 2019-10-31
The Arab Spring uprisings in 2011, notably in Syria, presented Baghdadi and ISI with an opportunity for swift expansion as the Syrian government lost control of large parts of the country. Al-Baghdadi sent seasoned militants and fighters, money and weapons to establish Jabhat al-Nusra as the leading rebel organisation, though its dependence on ISI was at first kept secret.

CIA-Trained Afghan Forces Behind War Atrocities, Report Finds
Staff | truthdig.com | 2019-10-31
ISLAMABAD — Heavily armed men burst into the home in the middle of night, hustling four brothers into separate rooms, their hands bound. Afghan special forces then shot them in the head and heart. The operation, the CIA-trained Afghan unit said, targeted Islamic State militants in a remote region of eastern Nangarhar Province. | In reality, the raid took place in the province\'s capital of Jalalabad, within earshot of Justice Ministry offices.

A CIA-Backed Militia Targeted Clinics in Afghanistan, Killing Medical Workers and Civilians

On the night of March 8, 2019, four staffers at a Swedish-run health clinic in Afghanistan\'s Wardak Province ate together, talked around a thermos of tea, and bedded down for the night in the guard\'s room. They were awakened some time later by the thump of helicopter rotors followed by distant explosions echoing from farther up the Tangi Valley. The sounds were not unusual in Wardak, where for 20 years there has been little respite from war, and the four went back to sleep. | The men were jolted awake again sometime after midnight.

From Climate Denial to \"Green\" Petroleum: Massachusetts Accuses Exxon Mobil of Deceptive Messaging
Alleen Brown | theintercept.com | 2019-10-31
Exxon Mobil\'s relationship with the New York Times is a case study in how the fossil fuel industry\'s climate denialism has evolved over the past 20 years. Beginning in the 1970s, Exxon Mobil published an \"advertorial\" every Thursday on the New York Times editorial page. The quarter-page, essay-style ads were designed to mimic a Times op-ed. Starting in the 1980s, doubt about the seriousness of human-driven climate change was a repeated theme. The ads came with titles including \"Apocalypse no,\" \"Reset the alarm,\" \"Less heat, more light on climate change,\" and \"Climate change: a degree of uncertainty.\" | According…

53206: The Poverty of Politics
Jeffrey Sommers | counterpunch.org | 2019-10-31
The proposed plant (Strauss Meats) straddles Milwaukee\'s 53206 zip code, notorious for its de-industrialization induced blight and poverty. Century City is the rebranded 80 acre \"business park\" that once housed A.O. Smith, once the largest producer of auto and truck frames in the United States. At its peak, it employed nearly 8000 industrial union workers. These jobs delivered solid incomes to African-Americans in the 53206 and adjacent zip codes. A.O. Smith\'s closure, along with a larger deindustrialization underway in Milwaukee, struck a death blow to middle-class aspirations for many of the city\'s African-Amer…
