On January 10, 2021, four days following Trump’s attempted coup, Gerald Horne stated that “class-based reforms must be combined with a fierce crackdown on the violators of the law on January 6.” Horne discusses the historical background and the lead-up to this event with Paul Jay on theAnalysis.news.
Trump’s inaugural speech avoided direct war rhetoric with China but signaled dangerous trends: a growing alliance between corporate elites and government, imperialist ambitions, climate denial, and authoritarian overreach. With tech CEOs at the forefront and Musk in a key government role, the fusion of state and corporate power mirrors Mussolini-style corporatism. From threats to seize the Panama Canal to deploying emergency powers domestically, Trump’s vision risks U.S. democracy and global stability. This analysis unpacks the implications of a presidency rooted in power, profit, and peril.
Paul Jay on ‘theatre of the absurd democracy’, and organizing for a vibrant peoples’ movement as the focus for theAnalysis.news in the coming year.
No Honeymoon for Biden is telling progressives you have to learn the lessons of history. Previous Democratic administrations have not delivered on promises made, and there should be maximum pressure put on Biden right away, says Jeff Cohen of RootsAction.org on theAnalysis.news with Paul Jay.
Paul Jay interviews author, journalist and activist Chris Hedges about the formative experiences that shaped his worldview. This is an episode of Reality Asserts Itself produced on July 16, 2013.
In this video, acTVism compiled past statements by leading intellectuals, journalists, whistleblowers, etc. that provide context to the Assange case and also warn of the consequences that the extradition of Assange will have on democracy. These statements were made before a British court ruled in favor of the U.S. to extradite Assange.
The whole argument for Jan 6 being a coup is so tortured that it is almost sad. You show Trump´s speech and he says NOTHING out of the ordinary in terms of fomenting a “riot”. And what indeed happened was the mildest riot in the history of man – so mild that the powers-that-be resorted to LYING about the death of the one cop and continue to say the “deadly riot” when in fact the only people killed were the “rioters” themselves. The whole idea that such a coup would have ANY chance of succeeding in today´s America is absurd on the face of it. And BTW – referring to the 75 million Trump voters as fascists is absurd as well!
Your interview work, on the other hand, is GREAT!
I’ve never called 75 million Trump voters fascists. I have said that the section of the American oligarchy that backs Trump, and sections of other classes that support Trump, are part of a movement that is fascist in character. I’ve often said that many Trump voters previously voted for Obama, and are not fascist or even essentially racist. I’ve also said many times that the events of Jan 6 were not the main event of the coup attempt, it was in the process leading up to Jan 6 that was more serious. That said, what I’ve done is based on quotes from mainstream sources, I haven’t claimed to complete a firsthand verified investigation. What I know as a fact is many mainstream sources thought a coup was in progress prior to Jan 6, from the Financial Times to the American Association of Manufacturers – an outfit that was pro-Trump for four years.
Thank you for this. Loved it! Please send me parts 2, 3, 4 of Ford on Reality Asserts. It seems Google is putting you back but picking and choosing your stories. Love what you’re doing. Just keep it up. raquel brac
