Ellie Goulding is aiming for a bright start on the U.K. albums chart.
The British singer and songwriter’s latest LP Brightest Blue (Polydor) steams ahead to lead the Official U.K. Chart Update, boasting an advantage of almost 3,000 combined sales at the midweek stage, the OCC reports.
It’s the best-seller in the country on CD and downloads over the past three days.
Should Brightest Blue hold its position, it’ll be Goulding’s third U.K. No. 1 following her 2010 debut Lights and 2012’s Halcyon. The pop artist’s most recent album, 2015’s Delirium, peaked at No. 3.
I reviewed Ellie's album in "Kat's Korner: Ellie Goulding and Lady Gaga -- one ..." on Sunday. I really did enjoy it. I did not enjoy Lady Ga Ga's album at all. I reviewed both in the same review.
Damien Morris (THE OBSERVER) reviewed the album Sunday as well:
This is British pop queen Ellie Goulding’s first thirtysomething album – and her first set in five years – and it’s awkwardly divided into two unequal parts, one with 13 songs, the other with five. The first half is “vulnerable side” Brightest Blue, while the much shorter addendum EG.0 offers a symphonic overture and modish hits with Swae Lee and the late Juice WRLD. EG.0 she oddly labels her “confident side”, even as she shelters in other people’s starlight.
It's not a rave. But? It's not even a review. I hated BLENDER -- a US rag influenced by Brit rags. Two paragraphs is not a review. THE GUARDIAN shouldn't have published that garbage, it's beneath them. If I can't offer more than two paragraphs, for whatever reason, I'm not doing a review.
Farrell Sweeney (DANCING ASTRONAUT) offers another fake review:
The first half of the album, meant to represent Goulding’s vulnerable side, has 13 unique tracks. Each song is a heartfelt story, and Goulding’s lyrics shine through as the pillars of each song. The production elements do not overpower Goulding; these 13 inclusions feature her and her alone amid a slow and easy backdrop that lets her talent come through unimpeded.
That's one of three paragraphs the big boy managed to choke up.
Madelyn Muscheck (UT DAILY BEACON) reviews the album:
Ellie Goulding’s fourth studio album “Brightest Blue,” was released on Friday. The album features “Hate Me,” a collaboration with Juice WRLD and arguably Goulding’s biggest hit recently. True to Goulding’s style, “Brightest Blue” is a pop album, but it discusses deeper themes that her previous work hasn’t touched on.
Goulding explores the complications of love and relationships on this album, making it a pop sound but with a sense of self-determinacy that illustrates her versatility. Collaborations with artists such as Lauv, Blackbear, Diplo and Swae Lee complement Goulding’s style on the album.
Now she writes briefly of Ellie's album; however, she is reviewing several albums and that's always been acceptable and the standard -- see ROLLING STONE magazine's 60s work.
Closing with C.I.'s "Iraq snapshot:"
Tuesday, July 21, 2020. Iraq's about to be sold out to the IMF so why
are others ignoring this news story? Also the race for the US
presidency continues.
In the US, people are gearing up for the November presidential election.
Howie
Hawkins is the Green Party presidential candidate. Angela Walker is
his running mate. Washington is only one state where the party is
fighting for ballot access. Ashley Crabtree is the assistant to VP
candidate Walker and she went to Washington to help the effort to get
the Greens on the state ballot.
In the midst
of the coronavirus pandemic, third party and independent candidates are
being required to gather signatures to earn ballot access.
Joseph Kishore is the SEP candidate for the US president and earlier this month, at WSWS, he noted of a court ruling in Michigan:
On Wednesday, a federal judge in the Eastern District of Michigan
denied the Socialist Equality Party’s challenge to the state’s 12,000
physical signature ballot access requirement during the coronavirus
pandemic.
The judge, Sean F. Cox, a Republican, sided with the Democratic administration of Governor Gretchen Whitmer in ruling that the coronavirus pandemic did not seriously “burden” our constitutional rights or the rights of those Michiganders who want to vote for our campaign.
Cox issued his ruling as the deadly coronavirus pandemic is spiraling out of control. Yesterday, the official global death toll surpassed 550,000, and the number of infections increased to more than 12.3 million.

Cox issued his ruling as the deadly coronavirus pandemic is spiraling out of control. Yesterday, the official global death toll surpassed 550,000, and the number of infections increased to more than 12.3 million.
The United States is the epicenter of the virus, which is now
spreading without restraint. Already, COVID-19 has claimed more than
135,000 lives in the United States. More than 61,000 people tested
positive yesterday, a new record, and the daily death toll is
approaching 1,000.
Hospitals in Texas, Florida and Arizona are overwhelmed, and nurses are again facing critical shortages of personal protective equipment and ventilators. Cases are increasing in most states, including in Michigan, where they are at levels not seen since the end of May.
The surge in cases and deaths is the direct and predictable outcome of the criminal policies of Trump and the entire political establishment, including the Whitmer administration. Even as the pandemic exacts its horrific toll, the White House is demanding that schools reopen in the fall, threatening the lives of hundreds of thousands of teachers and students, as part of the overall back-to-work campaign.
It is under these conditions that Judge Cox declared his full support for the argument of the state of Michigan that SEP should have been gathering signatures and that it still should be doing so.
Cox’s decision is not a serious legal ruling grounded in jurisprudence or reasoned analysis. It is a political decision aimed at barring socialists from the ballot, with the legal rationalization serving to justify a conclusion determined in advance.
Cox asserts that it is not the coronavirus pandemic or the governor’s stay-at-home orders that have prevented signature gathering, but the candidates’ own lack of “diligence.”
In fact, it is the “diligence” of the SEP that required that it not attempt to gather signatures. If we did make this attempt, we would have been violating our own political principles and our warnings of the dangerous consequences of the reckless policies of the ruling class—warnings that have now been completely confirmed.

Joseph spoke with Julianna Forlano last week about his presidential run.
Joseph is also fighting for ballot access in California. Alan Gilman (WSWS) reports:
On Wednesday. the Socialist Equality Party’s candidates for United
States president and vice-president, Joseph Kishore and Norissa Santa
Cruz, filed a set of legal documents responding comprehensively to the
arguments made by California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom and
Secretary of State Alex Padilla.
The SEP’s lawsuit was filed on June 30 in federal court in California against Newsom and Padilla, challenging the state’s continued enforcement of a requirement that candidates gather 200,000 physical signatures between April and August in order to gain access to the November statewide ballot.
The lawsuit argues that this requirement is “effectively impossible” to meet “in light of the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic and the state’s countermeasures to it.”
The SEP candidates, who are the plaintiffs in the lawsuit, argue that had their supporters attempted to publicly petition to obtain signatures for ballot access, they would have severely jeopardized not only their own health and lives, but those of the public as well.
The SEP candidates are arguing that since California refuses to provide any practical way for them to participate in the elections, in violation of their democratic and constitutional rights, the judge should order their names placed directly onto the November ballot.
On July 12, the California attorney general’s office, which represents Newsom and Padilla, filed its opposition to the SEP candidates’ request.
In their opposition papers Newsom and Padilla, who are the defendants in the lawsuit, acknowledged these signature requirements and declared their intention to enforce them. They further asserted that if the SEP candidates prevailed in their lawsuit, the result would be “an unmanageable and overcrowded ballot for the November presidential general election” and would cause “frustration of the democratic process,” “voter confusion” and “irreparable harm” to “the public interest.”
Newsom and Padilla argued that the SEP candidates “could have begun signature gathering no later than May 1, 2020;” that the SEP candidates had “14 weeks out of the 15-week period to collect signatures in person;” and that they could have deployed “66 signature gatherers, working five days a week for 15 weeks, to obtain the requisite number of signatures.”
In their July 15 reply brief, the SEP’s candidates refuted the arguments of the state officials point by point.
In response to the state’s argument that their request for ballot access would cause “frustration of the democratic process,” the SEP candidates pointed out that it was California state officials “who are frustrating the democratic process—by insisting on the enforcement of ballot access requirements that are effectively impossible for Plaintiffs to comply with without endangering the safety and lives of their supporters and the public at large.”
Replying to arguments that gathering the signatures is not “impossible,” the candidates explained that under California law, the circulators of the nomination papers are required to swear under oath that they personally physically witnessed the signature of each and every one of the registered voters required to sign the petition, who are called “nominators.”
“This necessarily means the circulators must be in close physical proximity to each and every one of the nominators in order to observe them signing and certify under oath that they have done so.”
“The cold fact,” the SEP candidates stated, is that “circulators would have to physically approach a multiple of 200,000 individuals to obtain the sufficient number of signatures. On top of that, there is a vastly reduced pool of potential signers under present conditions, given that large numbers of people rightly fear contracting COVID-19 from contact with others.”
These conditions do render it “effectively impossible” to comply with the state’s signature requirements, they argued.
“This state of affairs,” they continued, “cannot pass constitutional muster, especially given that a presidential election is at stake.” Citing legal precedents, the SEP candidates explained that federal district judge Dolly M. Gee would be well within her power to order the candidates directly onto the ballot, and that she must do so if “core democratic and constitutional rights are to be given any substantial effect.”

Other candidates include Libertarian Party
presidential candidate Jo Jorgensen and rapper, designer and influencer
Kanye West who is making an independent run. Marni Pyke (CHICAGO DAILY HERALD) reports on the race for the presidency and notes:
Third-party candidates filing for president Monday
with the Illinois State Board of Elections included a Lake County native
and a rap star.
Libertarian Jo Jorgensen, who grew up in
Grayslake, is running for president along with vice presidential running
mate Spike Cohen.
Also seeking election is rapper Kanye
West, who has deep Chicago roots. West's staff filed at 4:56 p.m., just
before the deadline, and offered 412 pages of petitions. He has no
running mate.
"Government's too big, too noisy,
too intrusive. It hurts those it tries to help," Jorgensen told the
Daily Herald recently when describing why she wants to be president. She
lives in South Carolina.
Rapper Kanye West was among those submitting petitions for the fall
ballot Illinois on the final day for independent and third party
candidates to file.
West said he is running for president. But he has missed the deadline to file in several states. While he was on time in Illinois, filing does not guarantee a spot on the ballot. Pettitions can be challenged for the number of signatures and their vailidity. West did not have a vice presidential candidate file with him.
Another well known name among those filing is imprisoned political activist Leonard Peltier. He is a vice-presidential candidate on a third party ticket. Peltier is serving a life sentence for the killings of two FBI agents on an Indian reservation in 1975.
The Illinois Libertarian Party and other third parties are fielding more candidates in legislative races this year.
A judge eased signature requirements for third parties this year due to the COVID-19 outbreak. That made it much easier for the Libertarian candidates running for the legislature to get on the ballot. Steve Suess, the party's state chairman, said that should send a message to the two major parties.
“That given a level playing field with Democrats and Republicans, Libertarians will run for office," he said.
"And in November we’ll prove that Libertarians can be competitive in these state wide elections and can win if given those same opportunities that the two parties possess.”

Leonard Peltier is Gloria La Riva's running mate. They are running on the Party for Socialism and Liberation ticket. Kyle Jaeger (MARIJUANA MOVEMENT) offers:
The presidential nominees for the Libertarian and Green Parties both
support bolder drug policy proposals, including marijuana legalization,
than presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden or President Trump.
Libertarian pick Jo Jorgensen and Green nominee Howie Hawkins recently discussed their views on the issue and backed legalizing cannabis for adult use and more broadly ending the criminalization of other currently illicit substances.
“The biggest problem we have right now is not the drugs, it’s the drug prohibition,” Jorgensen said during an interview with C-SPAN this month. “Now, do drugs and alcohol cause problems? Of course they do. However, they’d be much more manageable if it were legal.”

In the article, Howie is quoted stating:
We've got to treat drug abuse as a health problem. You should legalize
marijuana and decriminalize the hard drugs like Portugal. Instead of just throwing people in prison and building the biggest
prison industrial system in the world -- which Joe Biden had a lot to do
[with], he wrote the legislative architecture for that as chair of the
Senate Judiciary Committee -- we should be treating drug addiction as a
health problem, not a criminal problem.
DISSIDENT
VOICE has an article by Kevin Zeese and his wife Dr. Margaret Flowers
that we're going to note but before we do -- when DISSIDENT VOICE or any
other outlet runs an article by Kevin, they are required to note that
Kevin is the press secretary for Howie's campaign. I'm not finding that
notification at the top of the article or tacked on at the end and,
skimming, I don't see it anywhere in the body of text. That doesn't
need to be buried, it needs to be stated clearly.
There's
nothing wrong with being the press secretary. When Bernie was a
candidate, for example, we noted David Sirota frequently and the
articles we linked to noted he was a speechwriter for Bernie. It's a
disclosure that has to be made. Norman Solomon remains a joke. In
2008, he would go on any radio outlet that would have him and pretend he
was just a left observer and, as a non-vested party in the process, he
was pretty impressed with this guy Barack Obama. Lie. Norman knew he
was lying. At the same time, in his syndicated column, he noted he was a
pledged delegate for Barack. He didn't want to lose the money from his
syndicated column. He didn't think anyone would call him on his radio
appearances -- and certainly KPFA let him slide -- Aimee Allison, I'm
looking at you and that's one of the reasons we were thrilled when you
were pushed out at KFPA, we the listeners.
Kevin
doesn't need to turn into another Norman Solomon. He needs to be sure
that any outlet publishing his articles discloses that he's the press
secretary for Howie. And he can't talk about transparency if he's not
offering that disclosure upfront. DISSIDENT VOICE does offer the
disclosure -- at the end of the piece -- that Margaret is co-chair of
the US Green Party. From the article:
While the climate justice movement has been winning important
victories, stopping and slowing pipelines and other fossil fuel
infrastructure, and putting the future of fossil fuels in doubt, the
political system, long connected to the fossil fuel industry, is still
fighting the urgently needed transition to clean sustainable energy.
Both President Trump and former Vice President Biden put forward energy
plans that do not challenge fossil fuels. The only candidate with a
serious climate plan is Green Party candidate Howie Hawkins.
The movement needs to build momentum from these successes for more actions to stop fossil fuel infrastructure. As the reality of the climate crisis hits more people, fossil fuels will become high-risk investments while the cost of solar, wind, thermal, and ocean energy is declining.
The movement needs to build momentum from these successes for more actions to stop fossil fuel infrastructure. As the reality of the climate crisis hits more people, fossil fuels will become high-risk investments while the cost of solar, wind, thermal, and ocean energy is declining.
The fossil fuel industry is being propped up by massive subsidies without which its extinction would be faster. A 2019 IMF report found that $5.2
trillion was spent globally on fossil fuel subsidies in 2017, the
equivalent of over 6.5% of global GDP. The Organization for Economic
Co-operation and Development found “the $649 billion the US spent on these subsidies in 2015 is more than the country’s defense budget and 10 times the federal spending for education.”
In the era of the climate crisis, COVID-19, and recession, these subsidies are not justifiable. Christine Lagarde of the IMF has called for removing fossil fuel subsidies, noting the investments made into fossil fuels could be better spent elsewhere. She notes: “There would be more public spending available to build hospitals, to build roads, to build schools and to support education and health for the people.”
The era of fossil fuel domination is coming to an end. It is up to people to organize to hasten the transition to a clean, sustainable energy economy. The deeply embedded fossil fuel industry can be defeated. The people have shown they can make it impossible to build fossil fuel infrastructure.

Meanwhile, Jef Rouner wants you to know that "voting third party doesn't help anyone."
Hmm. Independent runs don't matter? Then maybe independent papers
don't matter either, eh, Jef? In which case, we shouldn't read you
because you're column is published by the HOUSTON PRESS. You're
published by a paper . . . that's no longer in print. By a free weekly
that ceased print publication three years ago. It's just a website
now. And you want to argue that third party -- independent -- runs
don't matter? Seems to me that your own logic would then dictate that
the independent press doesn't matter either so why don't you ponder that
-- and try to figure out who stole the second "F" of your first name?
I
took Patti Smith to task. Not for voting for Ralph Nader in 2004.
That was a brave thing to do. But when she gave an interview dismissing
independent candidates. As I said then, if we dismiss independents,
then we dismiss Patti because one song written with Bruce Springsteen
does not a legend make. Patti was a queen of the independent music
scene and that's the only reason she's known today. Music, politics,
film, the independent scene drives where the mainstream eventually
goes.
Turning to Iraq, Ali Mamouri (AL-MONITOR) types:
In an attempt to remove Iraq from the
conflict between Iran and its regional and international rivals, Iraqi
Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi has planned and is taking his first
trip as a package to three countries: Saudi Arabia, Iran and the United
States. This way, he wants to send a message to all rival powers that
Iraq's sovereignty should be respected and regional and international
powers should not bring their conflicts into Iraq.
Iraq has been a center field for
conflict since 2003 between different regional and international powers,
and it has turned into a direct battleground between the United States
and Iran after the assassination of Iran's top Quds Force commander,
Maj. Gen. Qasem Soleimani, earlier this year, followed by Iran's bombing of US forces at Ain al-Asad air base in western Iraq's Anbar province.
The selection of Kadhimi was
actually a settlement choice between Iraqi political parties to reduce
the tension and find a solution to the regional and international
conflicts on Iraq's territory.
Kadhimi has already initiated a
strategic dialogue with the United States. The first session took place
in June, and the second session will be held in Washington during
Kadhimi's visit there. He is also planning to settle on arrangements
with Iran and Saudi Arabia to end the use of any Iraqi space for
conflict; instead, he'll seek to change the role of Iraq
from battleground to a place of investment and a bridge to peace and
cooperation.
The first station on
Kadhimi's series of trips began in Saudi Arabia. The Iraqi ministerial
delegation arrived in Riyadh July 19, headed by Finance Minister Ali
Allawi.
It's
a shame AL-MONITOR isn't interested in informing Iraqis that Ali is
running to THE FINANCIAL TIMES OF LONDON to brag about how he's going to
impose austerity measures on Iraq.
We'll wind down with this video about Iraq's water crisis.
