• Janet Yellen Is Attempting to Consolidate the Fed’s Power to “Supervise” Wall Street Banks by Pam & Russ Martens from their weblog Wall Street on Parade. My reaction: Notice the last paragraph in which the Marten's reveal their gullibility and naiveté about Biden. Biden answers to the ruling class much as Yellen does.
  

• Google CAUGHT Helping CIA Spy On You featuring Jimmy Dore, normally a comic (def--#3), seriously exposing the CIA, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc., the rest of their media corporations and their role in subverting real news coverage in the USA. (Note: "establishment" = the ruling capitalist class.) My reaction: I wish the general population could be as informed about our masters as comics like Dore, Hopkins, and R. Brand are.

• We can defeat the corporate media’s war to snuff out independent journalism by Jonathan Cook from Dissident Voice.
  

• 💥Propaganda and the Media: Part 1 – Introduction by Larry Romanoff from "The Saker" blog. This is a best post. (Note: You will need to know what "DDoS" means.) My reaction (Revised my reaction at 6:30 AM CT on Tuesday.): This knowledgeable person packs a lot of insights and factual history in this post. I especially found his comments about Chinese news media helpful. I rarely agree 100% with my posts, but I agree with probably 95% of this post. No one person knows everything! That is why we are social animals and depend on each other for the truth, among other important things. However, we are up against a US/Anglo/Zionist Empire that intentionally deceives us. I will provide my differences from Romanoff in future commentaries or reactions.

• Real COVID death rate 0.15% from Left Lockdown Sceptics: Socialist anti-lockdown news and analysis. My reaction: This figure was furnished by a research study conducted by Stanford epidemiologist John P.A. Ioannidis, and was peer-reviewed. But the ruling class has its approved "experts", and Ioannidis is not on the list. Therefore, it will be totally ignored by the ruling class's major media corporations. Instead, we will get uninterrupted fear campaigns with their insistence that we should wear masks, experience soul-crushing lockdowns, and take our "medicine" in the form of untested, experimental vaccinations.

• A Damned Murder Inc: Kennedy’s Battle Against the Leviathan [Part 3 of 3] by Cynthia Chung from Strategic Culture Foundation. (Note: I missed posting Part 2, but the link is in this article.) My commentary follows:

You cannot understand the present unless you were furnished with accurate information about the past (history). Unfortunately for you, you have been given a history written by the secret services of the USA, mainly by the CIA. However, Cynthia Chung, who has done enormous research, has liberated true history from the fake that you have been fed by institutions that are all under the control of the capitalist ruling class.

• New Yorker Uses Cartoons to Boost “Uyghur Genocide” Myth by Brian Berletic from his weblog Land Destroyer Report. My reaction: The busy, trying-to-survive ordinary Americans usually swallow US imperialist propaganda, but Berletic makes a herculean effort trying to expose it for what it is--lies.
  

• 💥A Quintessential Eastern Marxist State: A Review of A.B. Abrams’ Immovable Object: North Korea’s 70 Years at War with American Power by Stephen Gowans from his weblog What's Left. A best post.

• 💥Humans, Nature and the Illusion of Separateness by Kenn Orphan from CounterPunch. Orphan writes about the key cause of this huge calamity:

... capitalism cannot do anything but accumulate more and more capital. And capital is virtually everything that exists, from the raw minerals and petrol deep in the earth’s crust, to the fish in the sea and trees in the boreal range, to governments and politicians, to our own personal information and preferences. It has created a global arrangement of power that must use obfuscation and violence, or its threat, as a way of keeping the engine running. 

 

Orphan forgot to include racism in the weapons that the tiny class of capitalists has used against the survival of humans. Racism has been used to divide humans so that capitalists can continue plundering and destabilizing the Earth's miracle ecosystem that supports all life.

• Viral Topography of Neoliberalism: Transnational Laboratories and the Commodification of Life by Jorge Elbaum from Internationalist 360°.

• Atlantic Council Pens Anonymously Authored Expose Calling for Regime Change in China by Alan Macleod from Mint Press News. My reaction: This group is represented by unelected members sponsored and promoted by the international capitalist class that has created the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire. This document contains the real intentions of this transnational ruling class that is in control of the Empire, and all the government agencies of the Empire will carry out this plan. You probably thought that official legislative bodies whose members consist of "democratically" elected members actually made both foreign and domestic policies. Sorry to disillusion you. It is a primary function of media corporations, but will be supported by all institutions, to convince you of the latter.
  

• In Order To Have A “Tolerant Society”, The Elite Believe They Must Be Intolerant Of All Dissenting Views by Michael Snider from Activist Post.

• JFK, Allen Dulles, and Indonesia, a book review by Edward Curtin from his weblog Behind the Curtain. My commentary follows:

It is hard to discern what events were crucial in the fulfillment of the empire builders in 1941 as they launched their project to what became the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire, the "New World Order" of today. But one such event noted by many people interested in true history, and Prof. Curtin and I are among them, is the assassination of President John Kennedy. I remember very well the details of the event, and that verified details pointed to a coup d'état by what many scholars began naming as a Deep State, the real capitalist rulers of their growing empire. Although I don't recall Curtin's use of the concept of the Deep State, he was clearly disturbed by this event because it clashed with all the conventional political ideas with which he had been indoctrinated.

One important agent of this Deep State was the long-time director of the highly secretive Deep State, the CIA, was Allan Dulles. Pres. Kennedy was in the tradition of Franklin Roosevelt. Kennedy was no anti-capitalist as was Roosevelt, but he, like Roosevelt, believed in social justice among and within nations. The fact that capitalism was antithetical to social justice escaped both leaders, and Kennedy, and maybe even Roosevelt was (many suspect this) assassinated for this error in judgment.

Professor (of Sociology) Curtin is one such scholar (shortly to be dismissed from his employment), and he has closely followed the events and the coverup by government authorities, media, and all institutions since it happened in 1963. Thus, Curtin can be named as an expert on this historic event, and the author of this new book added clarity to his understanding.

• Why Do These Uighur Witnesses' Stories Constantly Change? Bernhard, a Germain independent blogger asks from his weblog Moon of Alabama. My reaction follows: 

This is just more anti-Chinese propaganda (disinformation) that highly secret agencies proliferate from the media corporations and the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire that they serve. This propaganda, like all the other efforts such as the Covid-19 pandemic, Russia, censoring real independent bloggers, etc. are designed to control the minds of the American populace. 

The first step is to turn off your TV (for entertainment only) and get the real news from thoroughly independent bloggers. But you say, which are "thoroughly independent"?  That is the critical challenge of our times! Most of us are trying to merely survive and don't have time to devote to any challenge. This is unlike the fabulously rich who can spend very little of their money to hire desperate folks like us to go online and spread disinformation.

(Note: Wolff shows how the Great Reset (he refers to it as a "restart"), which will have extreme consequences for our economies and societies, is hidden from public view by the covid crisis. The latter is functioning as a cover for astounding changes in our economies.) My reaction: It is no wonder that our masters in the capitalist ruling classes are pushing the covid crisis so vigorously.
  

• This Book Turns Everything You Thought You Knew About North Korea Upside Down by Jeremy Kuzmarov from CovertAction Magazine. My reaction: I'm inclined to support everything that the author revealed about North Korea in Abrams’ new book, Immovable Object: North Korea’s 70 Years at War with American Power. I have read a lot about North Korea from more independent sources to arrive at the conclusion that this material is absolutely believable.

To be sure, they always falsely painted Suleimani as a prime terrorist who is guilty of many deaths.)

The Coverup of President John F. Kennedy’s Assassination Is Wearing Thin

Click here to access article by Paul Craig Roberts from his weblog. (Note: I have decided (9/29/2019 at 1:20 PM CT) that my commentary is a major project for another time, but I did not find another time because dramatic events took over. Thus, I've edited out most of the original post.)

I place this event and the Deep State's portrayal of it along with the 9/11 tragedy and other major false-flag events contrived by them. Their portrayal of these events are thoroughly ridiculous, and thus I like the address Michael Parenti gave to a Berkeley (California) audience in 1993 (here and here) in which he ridiculed and entertained them with the stories that the authorities gave on the assassination of JFK.

Shocking Admission By FBI Veteran Shows Why The FBI Shouldn’t Exist

Click here to access article by Caitlin Johnstone from her blog. 

When King decided to join the Civil Rights Movement to the Vietnam Anti-war Movement, roughly a year before he was assassinated by our masters, he became the enemy of the Deep State who saw this as a major threat to their rule. They were right. 

I confess that I really didn't pay much attention to the article. You see, I already know so much about this criminal event perpetrated by our masters that I didn't want to waste time. Yes, the FBI handled the assassination, but on the orders of the Deep State.

Our masters decided that they could rather easily assassinate this leader as they did with the John F. Kennedy because the machinery of assassinations had already been setup against Castro, and the CIA was well experienced in knocking off numerous other leaders in the past such as Patrice Lumumba of the Republic of the Congo and President Allende of Chile. No doubt having accomplished the assassination of JF Kennedy and had it covered up without significant resistance from the American people, it gave them confidence to use it against other targets of people who they perceived interfered with their policies or threatened their rule such as Robert Kennedy, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King. Observe in the following video the haughty contempt with which the CIA Director Dick Helms, who reported only to the fascist Deep State, answered questions before the last committee of Congress in 1976 to investigate CIA activities:



It should be remembered that the leader of this committee, Sen. Frank Church, was never elected again to the Senate after his committee's work was finished. He died a few years later.

• Martin Luther King Day and the Unspeakable by Edward Curtin from his blog "Behind the Curtain".

Monday, January 21, 2019 will be Martin Luther King Day, and I am posting this piece in advance so that readers can let its message sink in before the corporate media tell their lies by omission, as they have done on so many issues, such as the assassinations of JFK, Malcom X, MLK, and RFK, four linked assassinations that have profoundly affected our world up to the present day.

Curtin explains how leaders of the people, and others that refuse to follow the  orders of the Deep State, are dealt with by our masters in the Deep State, the directorate of the transnational ruling capitalist class.

• Talk of Western intervention in the Black Sea is pure fantasy by Pepe Escobar from Asia Times.

By now it’s established the US and NATO are stepping up military pressure from Poland to Romania and Bulgaria all the way to Ukraine and east of the Black Sea, which seems, at least for the moment, relatively peaceful, just as Crimea’s return to Russia starts to be regarded, in realpolitik terms, as a fait accompli.

• Science and social crisis in 2019 by Bryan Dyne from World Socialist Web Site. 

The author contrasts major breakthroughs in scientific knowledge with increasing reports about the degradation of living conditions among the overwhelming majority of humans.

The Coming of the American Behemoth: The Origins of Fascism in the United States, 1920–1940

Click here to access a synopsis of a book by Michael Joseph Roberto, its author, posted on Monthly Review. (My commentary was edited for clarity at 2:52 PM CT.)

Most people in the United States have been trained to recognize fascism in movements such as Germany’s Third Reich or Italy’s National Fascist Party, where charismatic demagogues manipulate incensed, vengeful masses. We rarely think of fascism as linked to the essence of monopoly-finance capitalism, operating under the guise of American free enterprise. But, as Michael Joseph Roberto argues, this is exactly where fascism’s embryonic forms began gestating in the United States, during the so-called prosperous 1920s and the Great Depression of the following decade. [my emphasis]

Yes, the USA began gestating (def. #2) fascism during this period. After our masters in the ruling capitalist class gained so much confidence from their success in WWI involving our young men and women to go overseas to fight in order to insure the success of, and secure their loans to, Britain and France. During and after the war they went on a rampage against any dissident groups using the passage of the onerous Espionage Act of 1917 which they will likely use to put away Julian Assange in a solitary confinement cell for the rest of his life.

However, the birth of quasi-fascism came in 1941 as I explained in these posts: here and here. He splits hairs by writing:

This book is a necessity for anyone who fears America tipping ever closer, in this era of Trump, to full-blown fascism.

The only difference between quasi-fascism and "full-blown" fascism is that many of us still maintain a delusion that we are ruled by some form of democracy. The difference is the difference between overt fascism and disguised fascism. Some difference! It's far more cost-effective to delude people than to threaten them with violence. This delusion has been accomplished by our masters' control over every ideological institution including most especially print and electronic media, education, and Hollywood films. Because of this delusion they had no problem with the assassinations of John and Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, a number of Black Panthers, students at Kent and Jackson State colleges, etc. Following the false-flag project of 9/11 they insured and reinforced their success by militarizing their police forces, installing 24/7 surveillance of us, censorship of alternative views, and establishing the legal framework of fascism by the passage of the Patriot Acts in case their propaganda campaigns are not successful. I am comforted by his contention that we don't have "full-blown fascism". (sarcasm)

Saudi Regime Survives but Enters the Time of Troubles

Click here to access article by Melkulangara Bhadrakumar from Strategic Culture Foundation. 

In a sensational disclosure quoting “intelligence sources”, former Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer wrote in the Financial Review newspaper on Sunday that the Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi who was murdered on October 2 in Turkey was far from a “bleeding heart liberal” but was a seasoned intelligence agent and a sympathizer of the Muslim Brotherhood working on regime change in his country.

Downer wrote: “To add to the complexity of the story, the Brotherhood is supported by the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the Qataris… So Jamal Khashoggi – a former Saudi intelligence agent, a man who was close to the Muslim Brotherhood and a sworn opponent of (Saudi Crown Prince) MBS' reform program – was in the process of setting up a centre to promote the ideology of the MB. He was setting it up in Turkey with Qatari money. The Saudis wanted to stop him. In September they offered him $9 million to return to Saudi Arabia and to live there unhindered. They wanted him out of play. Khashoggi refused and the rest you know. The Saudis killed him.”

I don't often post speculative articles like this one regarding the future of Saudi Arabia after the murder of Washington Post's journalist Jamal Khashoggi by the acting king of Saudi Arabia, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS). However, there are exceptions when an article rises to a high standard of plausibility based on reliability of sources. This article meets this standard of mine. 

After all, because news and information is carefully monitored and managed by ruling elites, we ordinary humans must test out geopolitical analyses and theories of conspiracies in an attempt to get at the truth. See if you agree with me and the reasoning of the author. His analysis certainly adds a great deal of complexity to the already complex nature of geopolitical affairs involving major players in the world. The murder of Khashoggi may be a watershed event that could have major ramifications in the geopolitical future of the world.

The bottom line is that the explosive anger and fury of the “Deep State” in America over the death of Khashoggi can only be understood with Downer’s intelligence input – namely, that Khashoggi was a priceless “asset” of the US intelligence establishment and the Saudis simply eliminated him.

Jamal Khashoggi: Where The Road to Damascus & The Path to 9/11 Converge

Click here to access article by Kristen Breitweiser posted on Washington's Blog.

Bernhard, a geopolitical investigative expert, on his blog Moon of Alabama has been following the incident of Khashoggi's assassination closely (see his latest report). Now we see today on Washington's Blog that an activist for 9/11 victims, who is also a victim, has thoroughly investigated this event to conclude that it raises so many questions, convinced that we cannot take US officials words at face value, and suggests some sort of desperate coverup of 9/11.

In a time when news lasts about as long as a minute, why has the story of Jamal Khashoggi dominated headlines for more than a week? Was Jamal Khashoggi ever questioned by the FBI at any time before or after the 9/11 attacks? If not, why not? Was Jamal Khashoggi ever employed by the CIA? Was Jamal Khashoggi ever deemed an asset of the CIA? When did Jamal’s employment for Saudi intelligence come to an end? Was Jamal Khashoggi a joint asset between the GIA [??] and the CIA? Did Jamal Khashoggi ever have any contact with the 9/11 hijackers or anyone in the support network of the 9/11 hijackers inside the United States? And, why did it take 15 Saudi assassins to kill Jamal Khashoggi? Doesn’t that seem a bit like overkill? And, is it just a coincidence that there were 15 Saudi hijackers on 9/11? Why would Jamal Khashoggi willingly go to the Saudi Consulate in Turkey—especially given his alleged sour relationship with Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman? What would inspire him to go there? And what was the entreaty MBS allegedly made to Jamal more than one month ago about anyways? Was it made in earnest? What was Jamal Khashoggi really doing at the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul? [GIA = Armed Islamic Group?]

Both investigations dove tell nicely with the theory that the US Deep State ordered their secret ("intelligence") services which colluded with Saudi Arabia and probably Israel to pull off history's greatest false-flag event in order to justify to the ever trusting US public the US Empire's campaign since then to topple one nation after another in the greater Middle East (although upset, Gen. Clark has been unable to overcome the many years of his indoctrination in Empire propaganda).
