Far right breakthrough prevented in Sweden
Morning Star | peoplesworld.org | 2018-09-11
No one can dress up a far-right general election vote of 17.6 percent as good news, but nor should the disappointment felt by Sweden's Democrat fascists in suits be ignored. | The misnamed Democrats had hoped the result would be still better, claiming that they could score as much as 30 percent and replace the free-market conservative Moderate Party as the second party. | Even mainstream opinion polls suggested the party, with its roots in Keep Sweden Swedish nazi extremism, could hit 24 percent. | The Moderates lost ground, as did the country's largest party, the Social Democrats, but, alongside the Democrats' surge from 12.9 per cent to 17.6, the Left party, which polled below 6 per cent in the 2006, 2010 and 2014 general elections, rose to 8 percent. | Its 28 seats, alongside the Greens' depleted 15 and 101 for the…

By Inviting and Disinviting Bannon, New Yorker Fell Into Its Own Trap
Justin Anderson | fair.org | 2018-09-07
Steve Bannon (New Yorker, 5/1/17) | Corporate media just can't stop cluelessly digging their own grave. | The New Yorker on September 3 announced it had invited white nationalist grifter Steve Bannon, the former Trump strategist and former head of the racist conspiracy theory website Breitbart, to a top spot at the annual New Yorker Festival, the magazine's high-profile celebration of art, media and politics.
