- 10 Covid-Skeptic Memes to Get You Through the Day – Part 3 by Kim Usbourne from Off-Guardian.
- America’s Public Health System Is Utterly Corrupt by Paul Craig Roberts from his weblog.
- Imagining Year 2020 Without Fauci, Redfield, USIAID, and the CDC by John Tamny from American Institute for Economic Research. My reaction: From my personal experience, I find "cancel culture" highly effective in limiting
the views of ordinary Americans, particularly in relation to Americans
believing whatever CDC and Dr. Fauci say despite abundant evidence to the contrary. "Cancel culture" is a ruling class sub-ideology that justifies
censorship of those who have dissenting views, a characteristic of
historical fascist-style capitalism. Worse yet, "cancel culture" is encouraging, and largely succeeding, in getting ordinary Americans to ignore dissident views related to the pandemic no matter how qualified they are on the subject.
- Slavoj Žižek, Emergency Capitalism, and the Capitulation of the Left by Fabio Vighi from The Philosophical Salon.
- How Billionaire Foundations Fund NGOs to Advance US Foreign Policy Goals by Rick Sterling from Dissident Voice.
- A People’s Guide to the War Industry by Christian Sorensen from Consortium News.
- The Disintegrated States of America by Pepe Escobar from "The Saker Blog". (Note: This post is essentially a book review of Disintegration: Indicators of the Coming American Collapse, a recent book authored by Andrei Martyanov that has had a marked influence on Escobar's thinking.)
- Manufacturing Consent for War: 70 Years of CIA Coups, Assassinations, False Flag Operations and Mass Murder by Jeremy Kuzmarov from Internationalist 360°. (Note: This post is a book review of Vijay Prashad's book entitled "Washington Bullets: A History of the CIA, Coups, and Assassinations".)
- America’s ‘Deal of the Century’ in Flames After Israel Pounds Gaza by Finian Cunningham from Strategic Culture Foundation.
- The US Isn’t An Israel Puppet, Israel Isn’t A US Puppet: It’s One Empire by Caitlin Johnstone, an independent Australian blogger, with her American husband's narration of her post. (Note: This is consistent with my longtime designation of the empire: US/Anglo/Zionist Empire which I argue reflects reality.)
- Israeli Soldiers Murder Palestinian Child And Kidnap Young Men In The Village Of Bil’in by Robert Inlakesh from The Last American Vagabond.
- U.S. hypocrisy on human rights shines bright on Palestine by Danny Haiphong from CGTN, China's major online news publication. My reaction: Ordinary Americans are too absorbed with surviving, subject to brainwashing propaganda, and other distracting nonsense, that they will ignore reports like this.
- 'She was too vocal': Outrage grows over AP journalist fired for pro-Palestine views by MEE staff from Middle East Eye (based in London).
- We’re wired to care for others featuring an interview conducted by Sophie Shevardnadze of Tbilisi, Georgia (Sophie&Co.) with Patricia Churchland, a retired neuroscientist from San Diego, California, from Shevardnadze's RT channel on YouTube. My reaction: Although Churchland's theory of human nature as social animals makes sense, she admits that her field of neuroscience are unable to fully explain the phenomenon of sociopaths ("psychopaths"). Could it be that the man-made system of capitalism rewards "psychopaths" with wealth and power?
