• 💥We can defeat the corporate media’s war to snuff out independent journalism featuring independent journalist Jonathan Cook, who lives in Nazareth, commenting on this topic in an 18:30m video (with transcript) from his weblog. This is a best post.
  

Dissident [independent] journalists are a problem not only because they have broken free of the controls of  counterparts. Worse, dissident journalists are also educating readers so that they are better equipped to understand what corporate journalism is: that it is ideological prostitution. It is reporting and commentary for hire, by an establishment class. [my insertion]

• Syria and Russia Won the War, But America Legitimizes Ongoing Looting by Finian Cunningham from Strategic Culture Foundation.
  

• A Dolorous Imbalance by Fred Reed from The Unz Review. My brief commentary follows: 

This post is from an old-fashioned conservative website and looks at the China vs USA competition as a contest between capitalist economies. Worst of all, while imposing punitive sanctions on the rest of the world, USA is losing in the race to develop better products than the China. The sub-headline says it all: "America Makes Aircraft Carriers, China Makes Money". While China seeks to become the dominant economy, USA seeks to threaten the world with its specialization in producing more devastating weapons. 

 

I wish that China develops only products that people all over the world need, not what capitalist corporations seduce people into believing what they need in order to obtain greater profits. The Chinese Communist Party sees that the USA and its Empire is hell-bent on ruling the world for the benefit of corporations, so they must pursue the path that they are on. But can they while pursuing their path avoid creating a capitalist class that takes over control of China and replace the Communist Party? That is the question that vexes me. (Commentary was edited to replace an error in the first paragraph at 6:42 PM CT.)

• From RussiaGate to UkraineGate: Route to Apocalypse by Oliver Boyd-Barrett from Mint Press News. 

Within three months of the ascendancy of Joseph Biden to the presidency of the United States, the world teeters on the edge of nuclear war, whether by design or accident, as Russia reports that the U.S. is placing considerable pressure on Ukraine to attack the independent republics of the Donbass for which Russia provides logistical support. The U.S. European Command has raised its alert status to the highest level and warned of a “potential imminent crisis.”

• Putin’s Ukrainian Judo by Dmitry Orlov from "The Saker" weblog. (Note: I hesitate to use Wikipedia regarding Orlov anymore since I gradually observed their corruption by other operatives (2nd article and commentary). My reaction: I think Orlov's assessment is quite accurate, and I miss his clear voice and acute judgement since he put his articles behind a paywall. However, I don't always agree with his commentaries that he is always rather too willing to share with the public. He often expresses opinions without supporting documentation. In this article he demonstrates a startling amount information regarding both Ukraine, Europe, and Putin. I thank an activist who sent me this article.

• Australia’s Self-Inflicted Economic Woes Continue by Joseph Thomas from New Eastern Outlook. My reaction: Of course Australia is very much a part of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire, The same applies to Europe and NATO, but European capitalists are looking at all the profits they are missing from playing along with the Empire, and may decide to no longer go along with Empire directives. Then it's game over for the Empire, and the directors of the Empire know it.

• Why is the US Involving Turkey in Afghanistan? by Salman Rafi Sheikh from New Eastern Outlook. My commentary follows:

I ask myself why is this important? I should stick to articles that are of fundamental importance to human survival which I believe is the quest for social justice that only socialism (public ownership and control of the economy) can provide in the remaining days of humans.

 

We humans depend on one another to shape our world, and to do that we depend on one another for all things, and especially to tell the truth about our existence. Unfortunately, there are among us sociopaths that are under-socialized to the extent that they strive for only objectives that make them richer and more powerful. Sociopaths will always lie to obtain their self-seeking goals. But the rest of us are not perfect and there is a little sociopathy in all of us. It takes a lot of hard work to determine what is really going on. Unfortunately for humans this weakness will result in our extinction. You see, the hardcore sociopaths among us don't understand that we humans are only one part of the huge web of life found on our exceptional Earth.

 

I believe that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is a hardcore sociopath. And the transnational capitalist directors of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire know this and play (manipulate) him in their power game to rule the world. They know this because they themselves are sociopaths. ("It takes one to know one.") Sociopathy is a fundamental part of their perspective regarding how they perceive human nature. They use all people by playing on this human weakness. They have lured Erdogan with the bait of extending his power ambitions in their contest for global domination against the Russia/China/Iran bloc which is threatening their global domination.

 

Erdogan and Turkey are especially useful for the Empire directors to control and contain China because Uyghurs are of Turkish descent and mostly Muslim who make up (according to Wikipedia) about 45% of the population of Xinjiang, a strategic western province of China that these directors are currently active attempting to destabilize it. (see map) Salman Rafi Sheikh, the author of this article, knows this and is pointing it out to us.

 

Yesterday I was astonished to learn that apparently Erdogan has succumbed to this manipulation when I read this astonishing article which I immediately posted.

• Why NATO Destroyed Libya Ten Years Ago by Manlio Dinucci from Global Research, a Canadian aggregator website.
  

• Sweden Axes Gates Mad Global Warming Scheme by F. William Engdahl from New Eastern Outlook. (Note: I advise you to skip this post.) My reaction: I have posted other articles by this geopolitical analyst because of his specialty of knowledge, but there are some specialists who think they know everything about everything. These specialists who write outside of their well-honed knowledge should be ignored. If you, against my advice, read the article, have you noticed that he doesn't supply any documentation or links to support his contention in the following quote despite it being against all evidence supplied by independent global-warming scientists?

... in fact the Earth has slowly been cooling as we enter what some astrophysicists estimate could be several decades of global cooling caused by a Grand Solar Minimum cycle we entered in 2020.

 

Bill Gates may be mad, but global warming is real.

• Federal Government Illegally Pressured Facebook to Censor CHD Website, Social Media Content, Lawsuit Alleges by Children's Health Defense Team.
  

• 💥The Military Origins of Facebook (part 1 of 2) by Whitney Webb from her weblog Unlimited Hangout. This is a best post.
  

From the increasing sophistication of US intelligence/military contractor Palantir’s predictive policing programs to the formal announcement of the Justice Department’s Disruption and Early Engagement Program in 2019 to Biden’s first budget, which contains $111 million for pursuing and managing “increasing domestic terrorism caseloads,” the steady advance toward a precrime-centered “war on domestic terror” has been notable under every post-9/11 presidential administration.

.... And, while Facebook has long sought to portray itself as a “town square” that allows people from across the world to connect, a deeper look into its apparently military origins and continual military connections reveals that the world’s largest social network was always intended to act as a surveillance tool to identify and target domestic dissent.

• Being on the Left Involves Losing a Lot by Nathan J. Robinson from Current Affairs. My reaction: So why keep fighting against corporations within the capitalist system? Better in the years to come to organize the fight against capitalism and for socialism, that is, the public ownership and control of the economy to serve social needs, not private needs of billionaires.

My reaction: With Zionist players like this, what's to worry us? Except maybe a global nuclear war.

• Kerry Lunges Into India With Anti-BRI Agenda Bringing Green Suicide for All by Matthew Ehret from Strategic Culture Foundation. My reaction: This will bring more evidence of a dying empire (US/Anglo/Zionist Empire) that will ultimately affect all Americans (see article above).

As the China-Russian-Iran alliance continues to gain new momentum spreading win-win cooperation and development across Asia, Africa and the World, the dying unipolar system run by detached militarists, financiers and technocrats is doubling down on its weird mix of 1) a “scorched earth” offensive threat to “dissuade” China and Russia from continuing on their current trajectory and 2) a “positive” green game on which nations are invited to tie their destinies as an alternative to China’s BRI [Belt and Road Initiative].

• The Anti-Asian Attacks are the Pre-Show for Mass Anti-White Attacks by Andrew Anglin from the Daily Stormer.  My commentary follows:

I found this post initially on The Unz Review (I always try to post articles from their original sources) which is an old-fashioned conservative website. I have re-posted some of their article in the past that I thought were well-written and documented. But this piece touched off a series of thoughts in my brain that related to my increasing curiosity related to what I have noticed recently on TV. TV, I believe, is heavily influenced by the secret services who see this medium as a powerful propaganda tool to be used to propagate their insidious propaganda themes on behalf of the capitalist ruling class.

I have a well-tuned sixth sense about media corporations and their collaboration with the secret services that are under the control of the capitalist ruling class. I have noticed an increasing trend that suggests that mind manipulators in the secret services are up to something: the rather startling nearly consistent use of African-Americans in nationwide commercials. 

 

But I was mystified as to what use this trend suggested ... that is until I read this article. I think this almost consistent use of African-Americans in commercials plus the recent widespread publicity about racist attacks of Asian-Americans by Black-Americans fit well with the favorite ruling classes strategy to sow interracial wars among Americans. You know--the old divide and conquer strategy.

 

Although I agree with the author of this article when he argues that these attacks on Asian-Americans represent an intermediate stage, but I differ when he predicts that the ultimate purpose is for a UN takeover of the USA. I see that these two recent trends fit well with the chaos strategy that the secret services have used to destabilize other countries beginning with Chile and El Salvador (see my commentary here, my reaction here (1st post), and my commentary here (7th post). I now believe that the two rather startling developments signal a chaos strategy designed against the American public to usher in a new authoritarian regime as was the case when the chaos strategy was used to target the destabilization of other nations. 

Perhaps the transnational ruling capitalist class of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire now see ordinary Americans as the target to be conquered and prepared to fit in their New World Order, or the latest version of this--the Great Reset. What do you think?

 

• 💥Whitney Webb Interview – Tanzania Coup, Rising Technocracy & The 4th Industrial Revolution featuring Webb who has returned from Chile, where she was needed to conduct personal affairs, interviewed by Ryan Cristián, host of this show from The Last American Vagabond. This is a best post. My reaction (based on only 15 minutes of listening to this program which lasts nearly an hour and a quarter--I will listen to the remainder after finishing this weblog): In this fascinating interview, Webb describes Chile as exemplifying the worst aspects of the USA, but if you think Chile is divorced from the reality in the USA, think again. The transnational capitalist class, who have homes scattered all over their Empire, doesn't divide up the world into nations. Remember, they see the world, or at least, their Empire as a whole. You, as American citizens, don't matter to them.

• Predictive Programming Vaccine Mass Sterilization Depopulation Agenda On Amazon ‘Utopia’ Show (5:27) from EarthNewspaper. (Note: This is an actual film production (series) by Amazon, Inc.)

• Chaos In Ukraine Is Making An Epic Comeback from South Front. (Note: This post includes a 3:48m video report and transcript.) My reaction: This is another report on how true Joe Biden's statement that "America is back". The main capitalist ruling class is back after the Trump interruption and returning to their favorite strategies to counter Russia's influence as illustrated by Ukrainian developments reported in this post and the bombing and missile strikes on Syria. Among the developments in Ukraine are those that the ruling class is already implementing here in the USA:

It all started with the shutting down of opposition TV channels and immediately moved to attacks on the largest and most popular opposition party – “Opposition Platform – For Life!”.Opposition leaders were then sanctioned, for being “Putin agents”, and many of its members were openly censored and persecuted. Then it came down to censoring and persecuted another well-known opposition figure – Anatoly Shariy, and his party.

Websites were pulled down, accounts were banned, cases were opened against those against President Volodymyr Zelensky and his “Servant of the People” party.

This is direct evidence, that many people have suspected over the many years since the assassination: that the NYC police department is responsible for this murder. Of course, the latter was acting according to orders issued by the ruling capitalist class to silence him because they didn't like his efforts at raising the consciousness of poor African-Americans. This incident will never be reported by mainstream "news" corporations who will continue serving the ruling class with the dissemination of propaganda.

• Defund Fascism, Blue and Orange by Paul Street from CounterPunch. My commentary follows:

Although Street gives an accurate description of the largely colored underclass (but not exclusively so) of capitalist America, he ignores the indispensable part that fascism plays in capitalism to deal with the problem of surplus workers that is an integral part of capitalist rule. This I think largely comes from a misunderstanding of fascism which confuses many people in the USA. (This is not an accident: capitalist ideological agents carefully craft propaganda to confuse people on this subject and many others.)

Fascism is basically an attitude that encourages coercion in one form or another. The fundamental source of this attitude is from the capitalist morality as described by Margaret Thatcher: looking only to the welfare of the individual and of one's family:

 ...you know, there's no such thing as society. There are individual men and women and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look after themselves first.

Therefore fascist methods are employed to deal with capitalist's main antagonists (the unemployed, poverty stricken, etc, (and let us not forget other competitive capitalists), and they can range from the threat of violence to indirect forms by controlling jobs and careers (traditionally favored by capitalists) to controlling the narratives (including censorship) that shape people's understanding of issues. (Caitlin Johnstone writes extensively about the latter subject.) Nowadays the three are combined in various combinations.

• Goldman Sachs Makes Record Profits Amid Economic Crisis for the Working Class by Tatiana Cozzarelli from Left Voice. My commentary follows:

Although this article concentrates on one bank, it is clear that the author only points to Goldman Sachs as an example of major banks and corporations in the USA as an example of the wide effects on different social-economic classes in the USA, "the land of the free and the home of the brave".

Although I am aware of the social and economic inequalities of my existance in the USA, I learned much more from reading a book entitled The Capitalists of the 21st Century. I also learned that I was unaware of the full extent that transnational capitalists have enriched and empowered themselves at the expense of ordinary US citizens. And, the same is becoming true to citizens throughout the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire. 

When you read this book, you will learn about major self-serving capital organizers--BlackRock appears to be the worst--that have owned governments throughout the Empire, regard corporations as commadities to bet on in their casino on Wall Street, that have created news corpoations as propaganda organs, and as a result are imposing enormous suffering on ordinary people. This book explains why top members of this ruling class regard ordinary people, who they have brainwashed and lied to (the biggest lie is that they pretend to care about our health), as "dumb fucks" and "deplorables". These "giant vampire squids" that have tentacles in all our institutions are quite different from the major corporations and banks that ruled most of the world in the 20th century. 

I won't do a review of the book because Norbert Häring has already done this for me, but I have added it to my recommended list of books and I urge you to read it.

Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris assemble the evidence of the Deep State's obsessive effort to remove the Trump administration, but they do not point to a "Deep State", the real government of the USA. They go on in a dramatic fashion to point to "plotters" that are creating an "existential crisis" for the US government and the American people. They miss the greater significance of internecine strife among the capitalist ruling class because the American people voted the wrong way in 2016 for the chief executive officer of the USA. Because of this obsession with Donald Trump, a renegade capitalist who refuses to take orders from the Deep State, the latter are now pursuing a reckless course of action with the Covid-19 pandemic (among other reasons) to undermine his chances for re-election in November's elections.)

• 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!

• How I try to break climate silence by BaerbelW from Skeptical Science. (Note: This German scientist takes us through the many ways climate crisis deniers try to deceive us, and simultaneously promotes critical thinking. But alas, she only devotes two sentences to a claim that "There is also hope: We already have much of the technology we need to solve climate change. We 'just' have to deploy it at scale." And she follows these two sentences by saying "this clear for scientists". But this is not true. Many scientists remain in doubt that we can solve this problem, and some, like McPherson, have already decided that it is too late.)

Satirical comedians discover that capitalist controlled elections are corrupt, but they don't connect them to elections held in capitalist nations or nations held by ruling classes of any kind. The result is cynicism. The following two posts illustrate that:

The Democrats' Impeachment Attempt Against Trump Is A Huge Mistake

Click here to access article by Bernhard from Moon of Alabama. (Updated at 10:00 AM CT)

Well, maybe it's a mistake or maybe not, but Trump took aim at the Deep State's main candidate for president, and they couldn't tolerate that. As far as it is going to result in a backlash for the Democratic Party, I think Bernhard underestimates the power of the Deep State, the core (def. #2) directors of the US capitalist ruling class. 

Formerly this directorate harried Trump through their media corporations in order to use Trump to promulgate aggressive foreign policy actions that they favored. But Trump has now committed the unpardonable sin by directly exposing and attacking their main candidate: Trump's major crime was to expose Joe Biden's influence to have his son appointed as CEO of one of Ukraine's main industrial companies after the US engineered the coup in Ukraine in 2014 (see this and this).

• When you want to sanction States, you call them "terrorists" by Thierry Meyssan from his blog.

• Beware the Trumpenleft! by CJ Hopkins from his blog.  This master satirist ridicules a number of targets, but mainly propaganda by mainstream media. To show that his satire has a serious purpose, he writes:

And this is where this “Trumpenleft” malarkey fits into the ruling classes’ broader campaign to eliminate any kind of critical thinking and force people to mindlessly root for their “team.” See, the problem with us “Trumpenleft” types is not that we support Donald Trump. For the record, none of us really do. Some of us think he us a dangerous demagogue. Others of us think he is a blithering idiot. None of us think he’s Fidel Castro, or that he cares one iota about the working classes, or about anyone other than Donald Trump.

No, the problem is not that we’re on the wrong team; the problem is that we are asking people to question the propaganda of the team that we’re supposed to be on, or at least be rooting for. We are asking people to pay attention to how the global capitalist ruling establishment is going about quashing this “populist” insurgency (of which Brexit and Trump are manifestations, not causes) so they can get back to the business of relentlessly restructuring, privatizing, and debt-enslaving everything, as they’ve been doing since the end of the Cold War. We’re asking folks, not to join “the other team,” but to pay close attention to how they are being manipulated into believing that there are only two “teams,” and that they have to join one, and then mindlessly parrot whatever nonsense their team decides they need to disseminate in order to win a game that is merely a simulation they have conjured up (i.e., the ruling classes have conjured up) in order to inoculate themselves against an actual conflict they cannot win and so must prevent at all costs from ever beginning … which, they are doing a pretty good job of that so far.
