Geithner, Obama's plutocratist Secretary of the Treasury, is now getting even richer through a private equity company. One of the companies it funds pushes predatory loans on desperate poor Americans who don't understand what they are getting into.

This is typical of "centrist" Democrats that work for the banksters even while in office.

The Tories continue forcibly converting "inadequate" UK locally-run schools into privately run "academies", and when these prove even more inadequate and cheat the students, the Tories won't let them convert back to public schools.

One might suspect that providing good education is not really an important goal for the Tories.

Advanced countries' gratuitously imposed dependence on digital technology threatens national security in case of attack, storm, power outage, whatever.

The war-lover's officials are mounting a pressure and destabilization campaign against Iran.

For instance, Pompeo accuses some Iranians of getting rich while most people suffer. Sounds like the US!

I don't think this will influence Iranians much. It will be too obvious that the country's bad economic situation is due to the US.

The government of Iran is theocratic with a level of democracy. This involves contempt for some human rights, and many Iranians resent this injustice. Many others support the theocracy, much like the American supporters of the war-lover. Increased foreign hostility is likely to strengthen support for the government.

If the US can stomach Salafi Arabia as an ally, it has no reason to balk at Iran as a friend. The US should negotiate a better relationship with Iran.

The knowledge-hater has opened a treasure of dinosaur fossils to mining that would destroy them.
