The New York Times Is Diminishing Itself
Strategic Culture Foundation (RSS)
By Ralph NADER
Give the New York Times its due. Its teams of reporters produce more investigations of wrongdoing by entrenched vested interests than does the entire recess-rich, Tuesday-to-Thursday U.S. Congress with all its Committees and Subcommittees. The Times should promptly publish some of its exposes as small books. Their on-the-ground series on the burning Amazon Forest and their series on expanding sports gambling corruption and addiction exemplify great reporting.
However, in the last decade, the Times has freaked out over the decline in print subscriptions, loss of advertisements and the rise of the Internet with its many aliterate users. Though a little l...

By Dan DIMAGGIO
Negotiations will take place in 2023 for some of the biggest contracts in the labor movement, including at UPS and the Big Three automakers.
Workers are hoping to take advantage of a tight labor market to reverse years of concessions and win big raises to help cope with inflation. New leaders in the Teamsters, and potentially the Auto Workers (UAW), have promised to put up a more aggressive fight.
UPS
The Teamsters contract covering 340,000 package car drivers and warehouse workers at UPS expires July 31. New Teamsters President Sean OโBrien has promised the union will be ready for the first strike against the parcel giant since 1997.

Documents Reveal How โRussiagateโ Was Used For Twitter Censorship
Internal documents from Twitter made public on Tuesday show how the social media platform was pressured to follow the US intelligence communityโs lead on censorship back in 2017. Key Democrats in the US Congress, a British university, and two media outlets โ Politico and BuzzFeed โ played a major role in constructing and amplifying the โRussiagateโ conspiracy theory, according to research by Matt Taibbi.
In a pattern established in just six weeks, from August to October 2017, Twitter went from being on nobodyโs radar to agreeing to take orders from US spies as to whom to censor, Taibbi wrote on Substack.
โThreats from Congress came first, then a rush of bad headlines (inspired by leaks from congressional committees), and finally a series of moderation demands coming from the outside,โ he added.

Main Adversary Of Russiaโs First President
Ruslan Khasbulatov, one of the most powerful men in the early days of post-Soviet Russia, has died in Moscow Region at the age of 80, media reports, citing his relatives.
The politician and economist led the first Russian parliament and supported Boris Yeltsin, who was yet to become the country's first president, in his standoff against junta coup plotters who sought to grab power in the USSR in 1991. However, just two years after Khasbulatov and Yeltsin stood side by side against the attempted coup, they turned against each other, sparking the 1993 constitutional crisis.

Russian Electricity Exports To Asia Growing โ Minister
Russiaโs electricity supplies to China and Mongolia will see an overall 20% jump by the end of this year, Energy Minister Nikolay Shulginov has said.
Estimates by the Russian energy giant Inter RAO suggest that the country has supplied a record 4.4-4.5 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electrical power to China in 2022. Data shows that Chinaโs electricity consumption had risen in December due to colder weather. This has also pushed demand for coal and gas for heating higher.
โThis year [2022] we can talk about the growth of eastbound [electricity] exports, that is, total exports to China and Mongolia have increased by 20%, and there will be an uptick of about 16% to China by the end of the year,โ Shulginov revealed last week in an interview with the TV channel Rossiya-24.
