• RFK Jr. Talks with Ron Paul: ‘Do Not Trust the Medical or National Security Establishment’ from 21st Century Wire. 

(Note: The post introduces the main characters, Ron Paul and Robert Kennedy, Jr. and supplies this nearly 40 minute interview. Kennedy, with his encyclopedic knowledge about the important questions Paul asked, tends to use up all the time in the interview with his detailed knowledge. Paul has to cut him off in order to finish his questions. 

Paul is a classic American libertarian in that his political orientation of  national capitalism, but it is an outmoded (by neoliberalism) ideology that was quite fashionable up until WWII. Since then the neoliberalism of transnational capitalists, that rule the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire, see the whole world "as their oyster" to develop the way they want (to increase their wealth and power) without inference from political party or any nation. American libertarians see the government as a threat to their laissez faire ideology and do not recognize any entity above the government, such as the Deep State. They share this view with many anarchists. The far left was purged from the American political scene shortly after WWII as a part of the drive to establish the Deep State's Empire. This purge of the "old left" was very well described by Bruce Lerro.)

• What we can learn from the Swedish paradox by Freddie Sayers from UnHerd. (Note: Sayers, who is British, uses a European meaning of libertarians who emphasize individual freedom from government in contrast to the US version which puts more emphasis on laissez-faire capitalism, that is, more emphasis on freedom of capitalist enterprises from government regulation.)

• Revolutionaries Living in a System of Growing Fascism by Howard Lisnoff from CounterPunch.

• The Undoing Of Illusions: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix by Caitlin Johnstone from her weblog. (Note: Johnstone uses the theme of "narrative matrix" to denote the capitalist ruling class control of all ideological institutions. They do this by using fake news and propaganda that they spread via their ownership and control of media corporations and the control of other ideological institutions (education, entertainment, etc.) in order to control people's minds especially within their US/Anglo/Zionist Empire. This practice is the essence of soft fascism in contrast to the often hard fascism of German and Italian history (reliance on police terror). To be sure, the latter used elements of fake news and propaganda, but they relied on hard fascist methods because of the underdevelopment of propaganda during their rule.) (Editor's note: I edited this note to include comments regarding soft and hard fascism @ 3:50 PM CT.)

• The Jakarta Method: How the U.S. Used Mass Murder To Beat Communism by Daniel Larison from The American Conservative. (Note: I'm posting this mainly because it offers lessons on the US political spectrum, and secondarily because it reminds us of the history of ruling class crimes. The conservatives who write for this website are often labeled as "paleoconservatives" (old-fashioned conservatives) in contrast to neoliberals, often referred to as "ziocons" (Don Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, Dick Cheney, etc. most of whom were brought into government during Reagan's administration). Neoliberals or "ziocons" (because of strong Zionist influence) are favored by transnational capitalists who have aggressively pursued an empire compared to more nationalist conservatives who support national capitalist interests. I think that Fox News publishing empire has mixed feelings about Trump because of his more nationalist orientation in contrast with his aggressive foreign policies. Neoliberals have taken over control of the Democratic Party, whereas the paleoconservatives are mostly found in the Republican Party, but there is little of substance to differentiate the two-party system of the capitalist ruling class.)

• How the Billionaires Control American Elections by Eric Zuesse from Strategic Culture Foundation. (Note: This is a summary of  Glenn Greenwald's article on July 9 entitled "How the House Armed Services Committee, in the Middle of a Pandemic, Approved a Huge Military Budget and More War in Afghanistan" (and uploaded on YouTube which carried Zuesse's title). However, if you are one of those American who are described by Zuesse as Americans who "just vote and pay taxes", dumbed-down by Empire propaganda, and distracted with entertainment by well-paid careerists appointed by agents of the ruling class ("billionaires"), you should probably pay attention to the Intercept's article and listen to Greenwald's full address. Most Americans, after 75 years of brainwashing have no idea about real world politics and its real history. But, this is not the fault of ordinary Americans. This was intentionally done by the capitalist ruling class that was bent on establishing an American Empire much like the Nazis in Germany had tried to do, and Great Britain succeeded in doing for hundreds of years.)

• Iran-Russia-China: a strategic alliance is born while the US loses ground and allies by Elijah J Magnier from his weblog. My reaction: this remainder of an article, the full text of which lies behind a well-deserved paywall, points to a real fact that, I think, lies behind the global project of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire: the current coronavirus pandemic. The transnational capitalist class that rules the Empire is deeply frustrated, and out of this frustration, desperately lashing out at not only the "deplorables" and the "dumb fucks" in the USA, but the whole world, or most of the world they control. Future events will reveal the validity or invalidity of this argument.

• Boogaloo Movement: USA Far Right is Growing Thanks to Donald Trump by Robert Fantina from Peace Data. My commentary follows:

The author argues, which most social-democratic people are arguing on CounterPunch, that Trump represents a fascist position which people must disavow and by electing Joe Biden, the ruling class candidate. The established ruling class has cleverly provoked this response from Trump via their media, but it is only a ploy. 

This way they can have it both ways: blame Trump for fascist methods and pretend to be anti-fascist. Either way, they win the election. They prefer their methods of soft fascism by controlling the propaganda-laced information that the public receives, but they don't really reject hard fascism. Now some people are wondering if Trump will leave office even if he loses the election, but this is a phony and misleading argument that Democracy Now is noted for.

The main ruling class has command of the armed forces and "intelligence" agencies, and they can remove him anytime they want as they did with the assassination of John Kennedy--and he won the election. Kennedy deeply offended the ruling class by not joining them in their imperial adventures in Cuba and Vietnam. Trump does what the main ruling classes choose not to do, but approve anyway.

• Who is the Most Dangerous Fascist? by Glen Ford from Black Agenda Report. My commentary follows:
  

Ford demonstrates his much improved analytical skills with this essay. He, for the first time that I can recall, distinguishes the difference between old-fashioned fascism and the new slicked-up brand of what I prefer to name neo-fascism. The latter has relied on mostly mind control techniques made possible by the advancements of what the ruling class prefers to call "public relations". This they do by controlling the thoughts and information of the "hoi polloi" who they regard as "dumb fucks" and "deplorables". With the indispensable aid of the highly trained upper-middle-class, the ruling class has made their fortunes and power by their co-optation of this class by rewarding them with lucrative careers and insuring their well-being.

As long as the ruling class oppressed other people of the world through endless direct and indirect military operations and directing their police to ruthlessly crushed any opposition coming from black and brown Americans, "good" Americans went along. The ruling class using neofascist techniques: ubiquitous propaganda that we were protecting foreign people from "human rights" violations, that we are a "democracy", White Helmets, etc, the "good" ordinary Americans, distracted by endless entertainment, willingly went along. 

But now when America and its Empire appear to be suffering defeats one after another, the ruling class is frustrated and worried that they are losing control (read about an example of a power/control-freak). Hence they are engaging in a dangerous gamble with this hyped-up corona pandemic to punish ordinary Americans for voting the wrong way in 2016 (and other reasons) while enjoying the current spectacle of Trump's old-fashioned fascism that will likely wreck his chances for a second term. The neofascism of the main ruling class will seem like a blessing compared to Trumps old-fashioned fascism, but appearances are deceiving. Where this will end is anybody's guess, but it looks like there will be two likely scenarios: a global nuclear war or else a slow agonizing cooking of the occupants of our planet Earth. In any case, I think we are entering the final stages of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire. One thing is certain: there are many dangerous years ahead with widespread suffering for ordinary people of the world, including many "good" (obedient) Americans.

I can get by with calling for revolution, pointing to a Deep State, criticizing imperial policies, etc. because I am not a major influencer. I write on a Google weblog to express such ideas, but I have received very little harassment except for one incident briefly described here. That way they can have their cake (can proclaim that there is freedom of speech) and eat their cake too--threatening with the loss of their careers anyone who is a major figure from espousing subversive views in any media.) 

• The Gates Foundation’s “Green Revolution” in Africa: Agribusiness Wins, Small Scale Farmers Lose by Ann Garrison from Black Agenda Report. (Note: This article offers an example of the secret of capitalism. Obviously, Bill Gates does not need billions of dollars to live on, but he has acquired this huge amount in order to influence (power) major events. Power is the psychological drug that drives capitalists to do what they do.)

• The Future for China by Eric Zuesse from A bird's eye view of the Vineyard. My commentary follows:

Zuesse is a social democrat who loves FDR as an example of a US ruling class that held such promise. He has forgotten or overlooked the history before FDR came on the scene. Zuesse loved the capitalism as was practiced during FDR's administrations while ignoring the earlier history of the numerous massacres by private armies and public militias of union organizers, 12 hour days that workers were forced to work, the cheap child labor employed by capitalists to build their fortunes, the imperialist history of the US from 1898 onwards, the seizure of the control of our money by private banking interests (the Fed), the constant cycle of recessions or depressions since the second half of the 19th century, the history of slavery, Native American massacres, etc.

FDR inherited his wealth from an investor in the opium trade (also see yesterday's post "Protecting the American Opium Trade") who engaged in the drug trade that was forced on China. Old wealth shaped his personality to a large extent much as old wealth shaped John Kennedy and his progrssive politics. FDR and Kennedy had some sympathies for ordinary people and their problems. Both of them were never anti-capitalists--they grew up in families and friends who were steeped in old wealth. These two were the exceptions to a ruling class that has aggressively pursued power, and used power derived from their concentrated wealth to create their own Empire after WWII. John Kennedy was assassinated, and FDR was subjected to an attempted removal from office. Much more typical since WWII is the rise of the neo-fascist element in the ruling class who set the ambitious goal of constructing their own empire.

• In Commune: The Panal 2021 by Katrina Kozarek from Internationalist 360°. My reaction follows:

It appears that the commune structure first articulated by Hugo Chavez and implemented by millions of ordinary folks in Venezuela evolved into a powerful force that today has saved Venezuela from the imperialist ravages of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire. Together with the people of China, Russia, Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, Syria, etc. they are standing up to the Empire and surviving. Eventually this combination of forces can defeat the Empire. It will most likely be too late to save humans, but such people will serve to redeem their species marred by the hideous stain left by self-serving ruling classes during the last several thousand years.

As I recently explained in a major post why US activists cannot succeed in overcoming this ruling class:

The fundamental reason why US activists and revolutionary movements have not been effective, nor in the future will they be, is that they have been subject to a long and comprehensive process of capitalist propaganda and indoctrination. As a result, working people along with fake leaders are ignorant of American history and of the heinous effects of US actions on the rest of the world. They have been divided into mutually distrustful and hostile camps, brainwashed, obedient, distracted by vacuous entertainment, and unhealthy due to capitalist propaganda that would only allow them to be mere spectators in sports, and from a poor diet of cheap"fast foods" prepared for them by giant corporations. There is no reason to expect such people to lead or form an effective revolutionary movement. What we will see at most are pseudo movements and fake leaders who promise solutions to our many problems. We will probably need to look beyond the people of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire to see genuine leaders and revolutionary movements.

• The Deep State Expanding Military Ops in Northeastern Syria by Drago Bosnic from FRN (based in Serbia).  (My reaction: Remember that Trump wanted to withdraw troops from northern Syria? He could not. That is because US military serves the Deep State, the US ruling class, much like local police forces. The financiers and corporate executives in the Deep State have always made sure that the instruments of violence and coercion always obeyed them--not office holders in our fake democracy.)

• How Democrats Are Deceived by Eric Zuesse from Strategic Culture Foundation. My summary follows:

In this article Zuesse refers to ordinary citizens who register as "Democrats" in the fake elections that are held in the USA while examining the CIA engineered coup in Ukraine in 2014. Zuesse uses his well-trained skills as an historian to uncover the key true story of what happened in contrast to the fake stories published by media corporations to deceive US citizens. He also cites an obviously CIA written entry for the "Ukrainian Revolution"  in Wikipedia to manipulate public opinion in addition to mainstream media coverage in support of the ruling class's version of events. He accomplishes all of this in a rather short article. Amazing!

• The Mask as a Symbol of Subjugation by Bill Willers from Dissident Voice. 

• Conspiracy Theories Malign And Benign – Face Masks And Israeli Training Of US Police by David Edwards, an editor of the Media Lens (British) weblog. I direct you to his examination of a "conspiracy theory" regarding the official advice about wearing face mask beginning with "Last week, Mail on Sunday columnist Peter Hitchens" and ending just before "Antisemitic Conspiracy Theory". I don't want people to think that I cherry-pick my independent sources (from government, corporations, and the ruling class) in order to support my points. Edwards gives the best argument that I have seen that supports the official advice to wear a face mask during the pandemic. He regards the opposing arguments as a conspiracy theory. My commentary follows:

I think that Edwards defends obedience to authorities as the best way to deal with health issues. The problem is that government officials been so often discredited in the past (see only one example) by leaks, evidence, and corruption that they can no longer be trusted. The trust in government officials has been so undermined in the past 60 years that they have very little credibility with many of the public, especially with our more astute and informed members.

He cites as one such authroity, "Cambridge University". I did a little research on his claim and found that the lead professor was a plant epidemiologist. According to Wikipedia, "Plant disease epidemiologists strive for an understanding of the cause and effects of disease and develop strategies to intervene in situations where crop losses may occur." Doesn't Cambridge U. have no epidemiologists that specialize in human diseases? And, what about Stanford University's Dr. John Ioannidis (epidemiologist for humans) who found that the coronavirus was similar to the seasonal flu which was met with draconian measures to combat it. Also, see an excerpts from research studies regarding use of face masks.

• “Covid-19 Has Turned Public Health into a Patient-Killing Experiment” by Catte Black from Off-Guardian. Note: The author quotes the latest discoverer, Dr. Meryl Nass MD, of questionable medical practices:

Who or what is behind this concerted effort to maim or kill patients in order to kill any appearance of benefit from hydroxychloroquine in the treatment of Covid-19?"

My reaction: Could it be that agents of Big Pharma have influence medical practioners to do so in order to discredit the cheaply produced hydroxychloroquine?
