Dress Rehearsal for a Police State: Fifteen Years Ago at the Toronto G20 – Paul Jay

ByPaul Jay

In this introduction, journalist Paul Jay reports on several cases where police provocateurs incited violence during otherwise peaceful demonstrations—providing authorities with the pretext they needed to justify mass arrests and repression.

As federal troops crackdown on peaceful protests in Los Angeles, we revisit the Toronto G20—15 years ago—when police beat peaceful demonstrators, arrested over 1,100 people, and suspended civil liberties under the pretext of security.

Journalist Paul Jay connects what happened in 2010 to what’s happening now: the criminalization of dissent, from the mass raids on pro-Palestinian activists in Toronto to the militarized repression unfolding in U.S. cities today.

This video includes a newly recorded introduction and the original 2012 report:

“No Accountability Yet for Toronto G20 Police Crimes.”

What happened in Toronto wasn’t an exception—it was a warning.

Will AI Kill Us—or Help Save Us? It Depends On Who Owns It – Paul Jay

ByPaul Jay

Paul Jay explores the growing danger of artificial intelligence not as an evil superintelligence but as a system reflecting the values of those who control it: corporate monopolies, military planners, and billionaires racing for dominance.

Jay connects AI to nuclear weapons, Trump’s so-called “Golden Dome,” and the broader logic of profit-driven power. But he also argues there’s a different path—one grounded in public ownership, democratic oversight, and AI that serves human needs, not corporate greed.

“It Will Take 100 Million Deaths” Hedge Fund Billionaire Warns of AI Threat

ByPaul Jay

Billionaire hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones recently warned that artificial intelligence poses an “imminent threat” to humanity, with a 10% chance it could lead to catastrophic loss of life within 20 years. But while Jones acknowledges the danger, he stops short of identifying the real cause: the reckless, profit-driven race among Big Tech firms and national powers to dominate AI at any cost.

We also reveal what Jones doesn’t mention: the growing integration of AI into nuclear command and control systems.

AI doesn’t have to lead us over the edge. Under democratic public ownership, it could help solve the climate crisis—but in the hands of tech monopolies and the military, it could destroy us.

Part Five – Building a Real Alternative: Get Organized

ByPaul Jay

Trump’s anti-“radical left” rhetoric is aimed at grassroots activists fighting for a more just and democratic future. By reviving Cold War fears, he seeks to divide working people and weaken the labor movement. But across the country, workers are fighting back — organizing unions, running for office, and demanding real solutions to the crises we face.

Part five of this essay dives into why a militant, democratic labor movement is essential to challenging corporate power, combating climate change, and resisting the slide toward authoritarianism. From Amazon warehouses to AI ethics protests, from rail yards to classrooms — workers are getting organized.

Part Four – Cracks in the Trump Coalition: Civil War Among the Elites

ByPaul Jay

Trump’s coalition is unraveling. What was once sold as a unified right-wing project is now fracturing into open conflict between legacy arms manufacturers, Silicon Valley militarists, Wall Street financiers, and ideological operatives like Bannon and Leonard Leo. As Trump’s chaotic tariffs wreck global supply chains, even key backers like Charles Koch and Peter Thiel are hedging their bets. Meanwhile, Corporate Democrats offer no real alternative—caught between donor loyalty and popular discontent. But beneath the elite infighting, there is a growing hunger for a real alternative—one rooted in democracy, solidarity, and working-class power. This episode exposes the fault lines of U.S. power—and why their shared refusal to confront climate catastrophe or nuclear danger puts us all at risk.

Part Three – The Global Axis of the Far Right

ByPaul Jay

Trump’s tariff war isn’t about protecting jobs — it’s part of a global strategy to empower a far-right alliance with Putin, Orbán, and nationalist movements across Europe. This episode exposes how economic sabotage and weaponized antisemitism fuel authoritarianism — and how workers and students are fighting back.

Part Two – Boast About Jobs, Suppress Worker Power

ByPaul Jay

Trump sells his tariff agenda as a jobs boom for American workers — but it’s a smokescreen for a global attack on labor. At home, new factories are routed to anti-union states, while Trump’s appointees quietly dismantle the NLRB to block worker organizing. Abroad, tariffs target export economies like China, Vietnam, and Bangladesh, fueling layoffs and driving down wages to benefit U.S. corporate margins. It’s a calculated campaign to suppress labor power worldwide. But the chaos it’s unleashed — from domestic legal battles to global economic disruption — suggests the plan may be backfiring. Even some of Trump’s allies are starting to question whether the madness is strategic… or just madness.

Trump Tariffs: The Madman Theory Applied to Economics (and what we should do about it)

ByPaul Jay

In part one, Paul Jay exposes how Trump’s tariff policy, far from protecting American workers, is a calculated strategy to fund militarization, crush labor, and entrench corporate-nationalist rule. Behind the chaos lies a coherent project—driven by Trump’s allies—to weaponize climate denial, exploit regressive taxes, and funnel billions into AI-driven warfare and fossil fuel expansion. The so-called “Golden Dome” is revealed as a trillion-dollar boondoggle enriching tech oligarchs under the guise of missile defense. This is not economic protectionism—it’s the financial architecture of authoritarianism.

YouTube has censored and suppressed my report on the events of January 6th. I’d like to know why, but Google doesn’t owe me an answer. They can promote or suppress whatever they please. Now a new book by Washington Post reporters confirms my report. This is my post from Feb. 20, 2021
