- Biden’s Gambit: Actively Testing Americans’ Willingness to Assert Their Rights by Jon Sanders from American Institute for Economic Research.
In this framework, Biden is openly asserting an actual right to do things he suspects or knows he has no legal right to do. He dares objectors to seek enforcement by the courts, telling them essentially to bring it on, knowing there are enormous costs in time, money, and hassle for them to do so. If they don’t, Biden has discovered an actual right. It’s a giant game of constitutional chicken, with ramifications that can affect generations by greatly expanding the power of the Executive Branch.
My reaction: Sanders seems to forget that we are living in a
capitalist society where legal challenges take a lot of money to defend
legal rights.
- Why Are Americans Being Coerced to Submit to Injection with a Dangerous Substance that Is Known Not to Protect Against COVID but to Cause Death and Serious Health Injuries? by Paul Craig Roberts, who was part of Reagan's administration, from his weblog.

- Wikipedia’s New CEO Is From One Of The Most Villainous Companies In The World featuring Lee Camp who inserts sarcastic humor at various points in shedding light on the new CEO--from Camp's YouTube channel (06:31m). My reaction: Because the CIA has already corrupted anything political on Wikipedia, her appointment is appropriate.
- MI6 forced to admit that Assad is key to peace in Middle East by Vanessa Beeley, a British independent journalist currently living in Syria, from her weblog The Wall Will Fall.
The recent article in The Guardian written by suspected MI6-linked Martin Chulov is a sign of the collapsing regime change project driven by the UK and US intelligence agencies since well before 2011. A war in a series of wars and coups that have plagued the region for decades. I recently wrote about the West being forced to partially normalise relations with President Assad after demonising him relentlessly since 2011. This is only the first in what will be a long line of climb-downs by the US/UK Coalition of intervention.
- China’s Fortune Cookie Crumbles : Michael Hudson and Renegade Inc. features Michael Hudson being interviewed by Ross Ashcroft of Renegade Inc. from "The Saker" weblog. (Note: This is solely a transcript of the interview.) My reaction: Michael Hudson, a champion of industrial capitalism, and Renegade Inc. apparently have the same views on the current issue between the neoliberal (neo-capitalist) financiers and the Communist Party's government in China regarding the housing crisis in China and the Evergrande Group, which involves US financiers and investors.
- What Is Shanghai Cooperation Organization? from Strategic Culture Foundation.
- China Tells NATO to Stay Out of Asia-Pacific by Dave DeCamp from Anti-War.
- Europeans Whine That US Is Unreliable: Time for Them To Take Over Responsibility for Their Own Security by Doug Bandow from Anti-War. My reaction: This post is another piece of evidence that the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire is disintegrating, losing in its determination to rule (control) the world, and we are headed for a multipolar world. The article uses the word "Europeans" when referring to transnational European capitalists--ordinary Europeans want nothing but peace.
- The Entire Korean Peninsula as an American Satrapy? Establishment think tank manipulates the narrative by Kim Petersen from Dissident Voice.
- Geopolitical Shifts – A New Future Dawns in the East by Peter Koenig from "The Saker" weblog.
- Podcast: Asa Winstanley on the Purging of Socialists from the U.K. Labour Party featuring Mnar Adley, a founder of this Mint Press News, in an interview with Winstanley, an investigative journalist and former member of the British Labour Party. (Note: You may want to access this interview via YouTube to give you greater control over the podcast.) My reaction: Britain is a major member of the capitalist de-facto US/Anglo/Zionist Empire--as such the directors of the Empire must keep out any socialist advocate. Also, read this article by British independent blogger Jonathan Cook.
- There Is No ‘Good’ Form Of Capitalism: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix by Australian Caitlin Johnstone with her American husband, Tim Foley, also reading the script (but you may miss supporting examples, illustrations, etc.)--from her weblog. My reaction: The answer in the article about democracy is the fake version of bourgeois democracy (or capitalists' version of democracy) where private owners of the economy influence (with their wealth and power) what outcomes are decided. This is not real democracy where the general public has a significant influence on major political decisions, the media, and all other institutions. There should not be private ownership of the economy beyond a certain asset level which is decided by the people of that society.
- Homo Economicus or Life in the Magic Kingdom by John Steppling from his weblog. My reaction: Steppling is a highly educated American blogger, who resides with his family in Norway and who has a long career in stage plays and films. If you can tolerate many graphics unrelated to the content and content that requires extensive education, you will likely appreciate this article. I found many passages that I thoroughly agree with, but I have doubts that it is worth the great effort to find these passages.
- 191 Countries Agree To Allow Catastrophic Climate Change featuring Lee Camp, trying to insert sarcastic humor at various points in this podcast via his YouTube channel (06:30m).
