Solidarity with Amazon Workers and Ecuador Elections Skullduggery (Current Events Kernel Feb. 2021)

What’s up to my pugnacious panda bears and cool as cucumbers koalas! 

Welcome back to another timely and tasty episode of the BNP y’all. 

I’m returning this week to a format I haven’t used in a while- the Current Events Kernel. I feel passionate about shedding  light on two critically important current events, both of which have big time implications and ramifications for people up and down the Western hemisphere.

Both events are developing stories and both will continue to unfurl over the next several weeks. Neither story is getting the coverage it deserves. The BNP‘s got you though. That’s why my glorious and beloved patrons pay me the big bucks.

Current Event Kernel #1: Ecuador’s Feb. 7 Elections and the funny business that ensued, including major U.S. and IMF meddling, international propaganda and bad faith environmental mythologizing of an IMF an U.S. Corporate-backed candidate. 

Current Event Kernel #2: Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama, began voting on whether to form a union. It would be the first ever successful union formation by workers within Amazon on U.S. soil. Solidarity with all Amazon workers!
