• The War of Corporations on Our Children by Emanuel Pastreich from Global Research.
  

• The New Domestic War on Terror Has Already Begun -- Even Without the New Laws Biden Wants by Glenn Greenwald from his weblog at Substack.

• CIA (Dis)Information Operations Come Home to the US by Peter Van Buren from his weblog Hooper's War.
  

• A Truly Free Society Would Have No Official Narratives by Australian Caitlin Johnstone from her weblog with her American husband furnishing an audio narrative of the script. 

The fact that there can be that drastic of a shift from something no pundit or politician may say to something they’re encouraged to talk about all the time—all at once, at the drop of a hat—says so much about what the political/media class is and how it works in our society. How utterly uninterested in truth and facts it is. How arbitrary its dictates are. How completely made-up its ongoing story of the world is. It just says what’s convenient for the powerful, and when that’s not convenient anymore it switches to something else. 

• The Etymological Animal Must Slip Out of the Cage of Habit to Grasp Truth by Edward Curtin from his weblog Behind the Curtain.
  

• Biden’s Disastrous ‘Infrastructure’ Bill by F. William Engdahl from New Eastern Outlook. My brief commentary follows: 

Engdahl argues that the "infrastructure bill" is mostly propaganda to fool the American public (once again), but will actually promote the transnational capitalist Empire's virtuous sounding phrase "Green Agenda". The latter is, in turn, promoted to hide "Agenda 21" to seem more palatable to the brainwashed American public. Here is what the editor of Technocracy says about Agenda 21:

 

From its inception in 1992 at the United Nation’s Earth Summit, 50,000 delegates, heads of state, diplomats and Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) hailed Agenda 21 as the “comprehensive blueprint for the reorganization of human society.” The 350-page, 40 chapter, Agenda 21 document was quite detailed and explicit in its purpose and goals. They warned us that the reorganization would be dictated through all-encompassing policies affecting every aspect of our lives, using environmental protection simply as the excuse to pull at our emotions and get us to voluntarily surrender our liberties.

 

But what this editor doesn't understand is that the capitalist ruling class's motive is to try to salvage the capitalist system, which has brought capitalists so much wealth and power, in their recognition that a finite planet cannot accept a system that results in unending growth. Or, to put it differently, this plan is a desperate attempt to save capitalism in a limit-bound finite planet. The editor compounds this misunderstanding with his well-indoctrinated ignorance about socialism.

• Crypto: Congress Dawdles as $1.7 Trillion Con-Game Goes Unregulated, Threatening Reputation of U.S. Markets by Pan & Russ Martens from their weblog Wall Street on Parade. They write:

 ... for reasons that have yet to be explained to the American people, when it comes to the $1.7 trillion cryptocurrency market – which is effectively a con-game based on the greater fool theory, nothing is regulated. Not the crypto currency; not the promoters; not the crypto exchanges; and not the firms that are providing as much as 100 times leverage to fuel this “rat poison squared,” as the legendary investor Warren Buffett has characterized Bitcoin. (See The Smartest Guys in the Room Call Bitcoin “Rat Poison Squared,” “a Colossal Pump-and-Dump Scheme” and “a Big Criminal Scam” but Federal Regulators Look the Other Way.)

• Inflation on the agenda at Fed and European Central Bank by Nick Beams, an Australian, from World Socialist Web Site.
  

• Notes on Turning Seventy by John Steppling from his weblog. Steppling, who presently lives in Norway, is an American playwright, author, etc. who writes like somebody who has been extensively educated. And, it takes such a person (with a lot of time) to fully understand his writing. A few quotes from his article reveals much:

The most profound artworks demand something impossible from the viewer ... One problem is this idea that Kafka (but substitute any major novelist) is tracing out the shaping of the modern subject — through capitalism (or mastery over nature, etc) but then leaving capitalism as a universal. As if God created Capitalism on day 8. One cannot write criticism without being critical, of all things. Of oneself. If not, the class system is absolved, class struggle and political repression. They become a form of Nature.

 

And he concludes his article with this insightful statement:

Culture is an indicator for the mental and physical health of a society. The trend toward fascism is sickness. The fascist state is the apotheosis of sickness; physical and moral. The ruling class has no respect for anyone outside their small circle.

• A Decade On: West’s War on Syria Continues by Brian Berletic from New Eastern Outlook. My reaction: The two main corporations that feed Empire's "news" agencies with propaganda, AP (Associated Press) and Reuters, keep the people of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire in ignorance about what is actually happening in the Mid-East.

• Israel’s New Mossad Chief Threatens More Assassinations and Attacks Inside Iran by Dave DeCamp from Anti-War. 

On Tuesday, the new head of Israel’s Mossad spy agency suggested more Israeli covert attacks and assassinations inside Iran should be expected even as the US and other world powers are negotiating a revival of the nuclear deal, known as the JCPOA.

Posts that I especially recommend for Monday, May 31, 2021

• 57 leading scientists, doctors, and public policy experts call for immediate halt to COVID vaccine rollout from Covid Call To Humanity. (Note: Includes audio and transcript.)
  

• Antiganda in Action on Declare Your Independence​ from James Corbett's website The Corbett Report (49:59m). (Note: I assume that the title, "Antiganda", means a play on the word "propaganda". Also, Corbett is a Canadian living in Japan for about 16 years.)

• Al Pacino Afraid To Get "Canceled" from Jimmy Dore's comedy show on his YouTube channel. (Note: Dore talks to a voice that claims he is "Al Pacino" by phone for comic and satirical effect.) 

• FFWN: “YouTube Will Annihilate My Channel If I Even Mention This” (with E. Michael Jones) from one of Dr. Barrett's platforms FFWN ("False Flag Weekly News") in a video discussion on current topics with Dr. Jones (about one hour) from False Flag Weekly News, one of Barrett's websites. Notice that Barrett also carries the discussion to YouTube at about 20:30m into the podcast. (Note: Dr. Barrett taught at the University of Wisconsin until he was blacklisted in 2006 by the ruling class who disapproved of his views and analysis.) My reaction: This source is one of the best of alternative media.
  

• Why We Need to Distribute and Democratise Wealth by Richard D. Wolff from Economy for All/Newsclick. My reaction: Wolff misses the social and economic injustice built into the system of capitalism by ignoring the power that wealth gives to capitalists which lead inevitably to the concentration of wealth and power for this class in addition to all the economic and social disparities. This feature necessarily creates class warfare as first pointed out in the writings of Karl Marx verboten to most people.  

• Remembering The Black Roots of Memorial Day by Laura Flanders from her weblog. (Note: The podcast starts at 38 seconds.)

• New Report Sheds Light on Vaccine Doomsday Cult by Mike Whitney from The Unz Review. 

• India’s “COVID outbreak” & the need for scientific integrity – not sensationalism by Colin Todhunter, a Brit who lived many years in India, from Off-Guardian.
  

• CDC Violated Law to Inflate COVID Cases and Fatalities featuring nearly a 1:05 hour interview with Dr. Henele (Dr. Henry Ealy) from Dr. Joseph Mercola's website. My commentary follows: 

At first, having done some research on "Henele" who is a naturopathic physician, I decided not to post this interview on my website; but after reading the entire transcript of the interview, I felt that "Henele" was making a sincere effort to investigate the pandemic which others of my posts weren't asking the appropriate questions, were ignoring discrepancies, and having a too narrow of focus. I personally was frustrated last summer after learning from a very sociable person that she knew of no one who was afflicted with Covid-19 in our town of 12,000, but she qualified her position by saying that she knew of hospital statistics in a nearby large city that many people have come down with Covid-19 illness. Then I kept noticing reports of doctors being pressured by health authorities to declare the coronavirus reason for someone dying, and hospitals being offered money incentives to diagnose deaths due to Covid-19 illnesses. 

 

I had in an early career with a state Department of Rehabilitation directly experienced the gross inflation of numbers of "rehabilitations" to justify higher budgets and was pressured to "play along with the game". After a while and learning that this was the same situation in many states, it disturbed me so much that I ended up quitting an entire career that I had trained for.

 

My suspicion is that the ruling capitalist class, for various reasons, intentionally brought about this pandemic. They first created Covid-19 illness and somehow spread it in China, their number one enemy. The concentration of ownership in private enterprise and the concentration of the medical professions (no longer can doctors afford to set up a private practice) under chains of authority (bureaucracy) that physicians can be easily controlled. 

• Corporate News Outlets Again "Confirm" the Same False Story, While Many Refuse to Correct it by Glenn Greenwald from his weblog on Substack. (Note: Greenwald introduces his article with the caption "Journalists with major outlets know they spread a false, retracted story about the FBI and Giuliani but refuse to remove it because their real job is spreading disinformation.")

And he follows this caption with the first paragraph as follows:

 

One of the primary plagues of corporate journalism, which I have documented more times than I can count, just reared its ugly head again to deceive millions of people with fake news. When one large news outlet publishes a false story based on whispers from anonymous security state agents with the CIA or FBI, other news outlets quickly purport that they have “independently confirmed” the false story, in order to bolster its credibility (oh, it must be true since other outlets have also confirmed it). 

• On World Press Freedom Day, US Report Reveals 'Startling Extent of Police Violence Against Journalists' by Jessica Corbett from Common Dreams.
  

• From gunboats to treaties: Who wrote the rules of globalisation? by Ben van der Merwe from Investment Monitor. (Note: I very recently this article received from Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS). But, in conformance with my policy, I re-posted it from the original source at Investment Monitor.)

• Recognizing Lies about Latin America: Seven Tips by Laura Wells from Dissident Voice. My reaction: She immediately starts with a false assumption: "A focus on lies about Latin America is important because we do care about how the US treats other people ...". Unfortunately, that is not true. Being focused on surviving and otherwise distracted, Americans mostly ignore how the government treats other people in foreign lands. They mostly believe what their told by the "talking heads" on major TV stations. But her advice on detecting lies is spot-on.

• What will we lose? by Alex Bartlett from Off-Guardian (Note: The author is living and working in the Ontario province of Canada.) 

• 💥How The CDC Manipulated The Coronavirus by Dr. David Martin (2:20m video) from EarthNewspaper. Until the allegations are refuted by a credible source, this is a best post.

• Amid Widespread Disease, Death, and Poverty, the Major Powers Increased Their Military Spending in 2020 by Lawrence Wittner from Common Dreams.

• Award-winning Journalist Julian Assange Languishes in a British Super Max Prison at the Behest of the Biden Regime by Dr. Leon Tressell from Global Research.

"The United States and its NATO allies have weaponised the issue of human rights; using it to attack their geopolitical opponents particularly Russia and China. Sadly, the mainstream media in the West fails to point out the glaring hypocrisy of this weaponisation of human rights."

In Mid February, the Biden regime indicated that it was carrying out an ‘inter agency’ review with a view to closing Guantánamo Bay by the end of the president’s term of office. Sounds eerily familiar. Barack Obama within days of taking office also promised to close the infamous prison which stills holds 40 people in detention.

The overwhelming majority of media outlets in the West carrying news of Biden’s promise fail their readers. They fail to remind their readers that the journalist, who exposed the violations of human rights committed by the US at Guantánamo Bay, is locked up in a British supermax prison.

• They Lie and Then They Lie Some More by Phil Butler from New Eastern Outlook.

• Lavrov Calls Out Perfidious Albion in EU Diplomat Spat by Finian Cunningham from Strategic Culture Foundation.

• Reject Mainstream Culture: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix by Caitlin Johnstone from her weblog, but narrated by somebody else with a distinctly American accent. 

My reaction: I particularly liked this insight from "The Edge of the Narrative Matrix":

 

When people object to criticisms of the US-centralized empire, it isn’t because those criticisms are unfounded. It’s because if those criticisms are valid, it will mean everything they believe about the world is wrong. It would be a kind of death for them, and people fear death. Because perception is reality, finding out that your entire worldview is wrong is experientially the same as losing your entire world. Losing your entire world, your belief systems, your knowing, your understanding and all the stability it gives you, is like experiencing death.

That’s why we’ve got whole cognitive defense systems in place designed to keep information that is incongruous with our worldview out of our heads. We protect our worldview like we’re protecting our own identity, because, in a very real sense, we are.

 

And those "cognitive defense systems" have been put in our heads over the past 75 years by the ruling capitalist class via all their institutions in order to protect their system, which, not coincidentally, supplies them with so much wealth and power, from any "alternative" thoughts. Sadly for many, it already is too late.

• Pfizer is obsessed with one thing in this pandemic. And it’s not saving lives by Nick Dearden from Global Justice Now. 

• The Real Agenda of the Gates Foundation by Jacob Levich from Aspects of India's Economy. (Note: This post is in four parts, each of which is of a normal length common to my articles.)
  

... the Gates Foundation, like the MNCs it so closely resembles, seeks to manufacture consent for its activities through the manipulation of public opinion. Happily, not everyone is fooled: popular resistance to the designs of Big Philanthropy is mounting. The struggle is broad-based, ranging from the women activists who exposed the criminal activities of PATH in India, to the anti-sterilization activities of African-American groups like The Rebecca Project, to the anti-vaccine agitations in Pakistan following the revelation that the CIA had used immunization programs as cover for DNA collection. Surely a worldwide campaign to eradicate the toxic philanthropy and infectious propaganda of the Gates Foundation would be in the best traditions of public health.

• 10 Covid-Skeptic Memes to Get You Through the Day by Kim Usbourne from Off-Guardian. (This article is a humorous take on the pandemic with a touch of sarcasm.)

• The Illusion of Evidence-Based Medicine by Jon Jureidini and Leemon B. McHenry, a book review from New Books Network.
  

• 💥Maturity Is Discovering How Everything You Believe Is A Lie by Caitlin Johnstone from her weblog. This is a best post. My reaction: Her weblog posts are getting more and more philosophical. And, I notice the male narration has a distinctly American accent to it. I also know that Caitlin is married to an American. Doubts creep in about who is running this weblog and how much. Anyway, I very much like their posts because much of them have the clear ring of truth.

• 💥Xi's Boao Forum Speech And The Messed Up Reporting Around It by Bernhard, an independent German blogger, from his weblog Moon of Alabama. This is a best post. (Note: If this interests you, you may also be interested in Jimmy Dore's 9:42m reaction.) My reaction: I gave this as a best post because I think it represents all major news agencies in the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire. Reuters is more fundamental than major media corporations because it determines news coverage that media corporations distribute to their customers. Bernhard leaves a very cogent summary:

The Reuters piece about Xi's speech at Boao is framed with a 'western' mindset and colored by 'western' hegemonic ideology. It leaves out the essence of the speech then adds bits that make the reader assume that the high level international event is a solely Chinese one, thereby disturbing its context.

It does not inform but propagandizes.

• Union Labor’s Great Detour: 1947 to 2021 featuring Jack Rasmus regarding an accurate history of the labor movement (in an audio format lasting nearly an hour) since the 1930s beginning with the Wagner Act. (Note: This was during the late industrial capitalist phase of capitalism much-touted by Prof. Michael Hudson, son of Trotskyist parents.) My reaction: Hudson's parents must be "rolling in their graves"--(def.).

(Note: Bernhard seems to attack international news coverage as provided by the NY Times. See his latest post.)
  

• The Billionaires Who Couldn’t Kick Straight by Sam Pizzigati from CounterPunch. My reaction: Even the culture of capitalism has spread to sports in Europe after first corrupting it in the USA and Britain, the two main organizers of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire. Could one expect otherwise?
  

So the future of global football’s ecosystem remains perilous. In a world where wealth keeps concentrating at ferocious rates, the sport’s more egalitarian traditions will always be at risk. We can’t expect free and fair sports, in other words, as long as billionaires in search of playthings and profits still walk the Earth.

• Visions of the Future featuring James Corbet (57:25m) from his weblog, The Corbett Report, pointing to what will happen in the future as reported by our masters in the transnational capitalist class, or in Corbett's words, the "would-be controllers of the world" have planned for us.

• Southern Command Goes to War by Jorge Elbaum from Internationalist 360°.
  

• A History of the CIA in Congo by T.J. Coles from CounterPunch. The ruling class's CIA has figured to release their heavily redacted documents to the public because they no longer fear a backlash from them. Coles documented his report primarily on released CIA documents in the early 2000s; the last was released in 03/09/2012. I counted 13 such documents (not counting the CIA's historian written with comprehensive disclaimers). The CIA lies beyond the official government facade that was created by the early Founding Fathers who feared democratic rule. (See my commentary here.) You see, the public won't believe that the same operations are conducted today by this very secretive service accountable to no one but the ruling capitalist class.

• 7 Reasons Why a Vaccine Passport (Pass, Certificate or Whatever They Want to Call It) Should Give Us Pause for Thought by Nick Corbishley from Naked Capitalism.

• Alison Morrow Interview – MSM COVID Blind Spots, Willful Misinformation Or Manufacturing Consent? from The Last American Vagabond featuring Ryan Cristián interviewing Morrow (1:03:52) who worked in MSM and quit them after realizing that they were engaged in propaganda. (Note: Cristián and Morrow focus much of their discussion on why people engage in propaganda.) My reaction: Sociopathic people will rationalize all their cooperative efforts with propagandists because they want to sustain careers to furnish their families with all the goodies they want above all other considerations. I refer to it as the Thatcher principle of amorality: "there is no such thing as society, there are only individuals and their families".

• NYU Professor Fights Back Against the Academic Crybullies from Minds and The Corbett Report in a 45:55m video report. (Note: Mark Crispin Miller has been teaching at NY University for a number of years. He explains how and why his academic job is at stake despite his teaching techniques of critical thinking in the context of propaganda.) My reaction: This is another piece of evidence that the concentration of wealth under advanced capitalism can stifle critical thinking even in an academic setting. If you, in any way, challenge ruling class narratives in an advanced capitalist system, you will be punished by losing the means of supporting yourself.

• Think like a doctor, scientist, ecologist and economist – then become a conscientious objector by Rob Verkerk PhD; founder, scientific and executive director, ANH-Intl from Alliance for Natural Health (ANH-Intl).

• New Green Deal + Old War Deal = Same Rotten Deal by Frank Scott from Dissident Voice.

While this seemingly hopeful program of another new deal for domestic progress is proposed in order to save capitalism once again by muffling if not smothering calls for more radical change, the old deal of the murderous warfare state is even more dangerous than ever, with the amateurs of the Trump regime replaced by more experienced creators of policies of mass murder to preserve the alleged chosen people status of American capital and its servant class of more diverse than ever professionals who arrange minority rule and convince people it‘s democracy.

However if we fully realized such views back in the 1970s, we might still be looking at a future.

• 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.”

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.

• Halt All Covid-19 Mass Vaccination Immediately (Open Letter to the WHO) — Vaccine Research Expert from Dryburgh. (Note: I am posting this because of an activist who sent it to me.)

This is a best post. My reaction: Of course, the digital gulag is powered by the private ownership of communication-technology under the rules of capitalism in contrast to Corbett's arguments that focuses on government authorities. Of course, government authorities are controlled by billionaires in the capitalist ruling class.

• Mark Carney: value or price? by Michael Roberts from his weblog. My reaction: Roberts discloses how one of our masters in the Empire's ruling class really thinks.
  

• American Pravda: Covid-19, Its Impact and Origins After One Year by Ron Unz from The Unz Review. (Note: This is a rather lengthy article, but an excellent one.) My reaction: I differ with him in that I strongly suspect that this devious sub-project is related to the Great Reset project to reset the existing capitalist system to be a sustainable economy that can survive the destabilization of the climate. However, I entirely agree with his conclusion that it was a project conspired by the directorate of the Empire's ruling class and executed by secret agencies of the Empire. The Deep State of the USA have never ceased their interest in bio-weapons which had its roots in the Korean War. (Read This Must be the Place by Dave Chaddock.) 

• The Deeper Questions Behind The “Lab Origins” Debate by Madhava Setty, MD from Collective Evolution. Setty concludes:

An honest examination into the origin of SARS-COV2 suggests a danger more pernicious than the virus itself. How much of scientific opinion is dictated by non-scientific interests? How many other “consensus” positions are rooted in inexcusably poor reasoning and assumptions? If we can only rely on independent researchers to bring clarity to these topics, who is going to give them a voice? If there is a fact that can be extracted from this debate it would be that “trusting the science” and trusting what a media source says about “the science” can be two very different things.

Tammy Kim from Columbia Journalism Review.(Note: This is a rather lengthy article reporting on the details of the transition of this online publication to include global warming in addition to a nuclear catastrophe.) 

When the Bulletin first took on climate change as an area of focus, it might have seemed an odd fit. “As they say, nuclear can do us in in an afternoon; climate change will take much longer,” Kennette Benedict, the Bulletin’s former director and publisher, who oversaw the inclusion of climate change in the clock-setting, told me. But the two crises are now an inseparable apocalyptic pair. If memories of fallout shelters and air raid drills make rising sea levels and extreme temperatures feel more pressing, then so be it.

• The Coronavirus Vaccine: The Real Danger is “Agenda ID2020”. Vaccination as a Platform for “Digital Identity” [and update] by Peter Koenig from Global Research.

• Socialism-in-Practice Was a Nightmare, Not Utopia by Richard M. Ebeling from American Institute for Economic Research. (Note: I am posting this as an example of an anti-socialist propaganda that is often used in various forms to put-down any hint of support of socialist aspirations reflected in the writings of mostly young people.) My commentary follows:

I was immediately turned-off when I read this post about the Soviet Union. It is a piece which illustrates anti-Russian propaganda and the way in which socialism is taught in US schools beginning in elementary school through major universities, throughout every other institution, and throughout much of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire. It is almost impossible for students to escape being taught this history of the Soviet Union. I sensed this in my own education, and consequently I relied mostly on university libraries and from original writings about Russia’s Revolution of 1917 to obtain an accurate history about their revolution. Nowadays, writers about the subject, and even most radical activists, have a severely distorted history of this constantly maligned country by all the institutions of capitalism.

It obvious that education in capitalist countries must of necessity distort knowledge of this subject because the true history of this period reveals the most heinous acts of Western capitalist countries against the Soviet Union following their revolution. Socialism/communism is the direct opposite of capitalism. The former advocates public control and ownership of the economy whereas in the latter the economy is owned and controlled by private parties which inevitably results in what we have today: gross inequality of wealth, income, and opportunities, that is, a tiny class of powerful billionaires who control everything throughout the capitalist empire among an ocean of powerless, poverty stricken people and indebted nations to banks controlled by capitalists. Only a few nations have resisted this trend--Russia, China, and Iran. But to leaders of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire, any independence from their control of the world is unacceptable.

Eberling ignores, or is missing, the real history of these recalcitrant nations. Anywhere in the world where socialist-minded leaders have taken power, they were immediately met with powerful opposition from capitalist nations: in Cuba, Chile, Iran, Russia, China, etc. Lessor nations that evince any independence will be crushed in one way or another (debts to the IMF, sanctions, subversion, color revolutions), and failing all these methods—outright military invasions.

The Soviet Union was a first intentional socialist project that was attempted by dedicated revolutionaries. After their revolution in 1917 they we were met with invasions from 14 different capitalist nations, primarily Britain but including substantial military forces of the USA, Czechoslovakia, and Japan. Russia was already experiencing severe hardships from their participation in WWI, and following the revolution they had to deal with the White Army of the opposition that were mostly funded by the British. The revolutionaries had to contend with a civil war in an impoverished nation while fighting off the invasions of other countries.

The leaders, mainly Lenin and Trotsky, had no illusions about the prospects of victory. They saw that they needed revolutions in advanced capitalist countries, mainly Germany, to have a chance at all. But after the assassinations of Germany's radical leaders, Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebnecht, the German revolution was defeated. A few years after the successful Russian Revolution Lenin soon died after being wounded in an assassination attempt, and that left Trotsky as the only ideologically inspired leader of the government. Stalin managed to take control of the bureaucracy and, as they say, the rest is history. Stalin’s control of the Soviet Union was characterized by a ruthless, one man rule, and resulted in a gross distortion of socialism that relied on a bureaucracy inherited from Czarist Russia. Although the Russians in WWII broke the back of the invading Nazi armies and was responsible in large part for the defeat of Nazi Germany, after the war the bureaucracy evolved into a self-serving, privileged ruling class in control of workers and the rest of Russian society. An accurate history of the Russia revolution and subsequent events, which I, with difficulty, managed to obtain from original sources, supports this interpretation.

• America Condemns Putin & Xi but Supports Gangsters by Eric Zuesse from Strategic Culture Foundation. (Note: Zuesse, like all writers for major online weblogs, have to use circumlocutions for the word ruling class. Here he uses the feudal term "aristocracy" which means ruling class. This is because the latter words are verboten in polite intellectual society, or any word that is in the Marxist lexicon. That is because Marxism is strictly verboten or any related concept like communism or "socialism" in the Marxist definition. Socialism is often currently used, but the ruling class authorities have redefined the concept from that of public ownership of the economy to the current meaning: a more generous capitalist ruling class that provide extra welfare support for the workers--the provision of nationalized medical benefits is the latest related concept. Such intentionally used Marxist words are thought-crimes in the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire.) 

My reaction: This an adult take on political reality. If you believe that "authorities" are good and you believe what they tell you to believe, you are indulging in childish fantasies. The reality is that we are being ruled by organized gangsters like Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman al-Saud or prominent political friends of sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein. These gangsters, through their well-paid hacks (def--see nouns), go to great lengths to make you believe in their legitimacy or the legitimacy of their government or their social arrangements.

• Precedent Trump from his weblog The Corbett Report featuring James Corbett (via a 47:32m video) making progress by piercing through political illusions that have been created by the ruling class for (at least) the last 75 years. (Note: If you want to learn about that large segment of the US population who are confused about political issues, you must listen to this post. At least Corbett has reached an understanding that voting is not a solution to our many problems. However, Corbett has not destroyed all illusions of capitalist rule to reach an understanding that capitalism is the problem, but he is making progress.)

I found his thesis that violence is used by the capitalist ruling class, both at home and abroad, to maintain their system is somewhat obscured by his writing style.

• When did the media stop telling the truth? by Patrick Hitchens from Unherd (a British website). My commentary follows:

The powerful ruling classes that have governed society during the last 10,000 years have always striven to shape the news, but in period since WWII the directors of the remaining capitalist nations (which began as the US combined with what was left of the British Empire) have more seriously shaped the news and information that has informed the general public in order to conform to their interests of power and profits. Read my commentary here for the development of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire since WWII. This development focused on shaping news and information, and censorship of real news; in other words, the intentional use of self-serving propaganda formed a prominent role in promoting the power and profits of this Empire.

• 75% of the $454 Billion CARES Act Money Never Went to the Fed; It Was Invested by a Mnuchin Slush Fund Called the ESF by Pam and Russ Martens from their weblog Wall Street on Parade. 

• Mad Dog Mattis not so mad with Globalist agenda, says America First is over (from The Duran) featuring Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris discussing Mattis's statement reported by RT: "General James Mattis wants to replace ‘America First’…with alliances that see ‘America equal, but more equal than others’" I don't think it is necessary to listen to more than eight minutes of this video. My criticism follows: 

They lampoon Mattis for making these statements which he obviously made to please the incoming administration of neoliberalists ("globalists", transnational interests of global corporations and finance organizations). What these two discussants don't understand is that the transnational capitalist class of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire function in so many countries, and they don't like business dealings with so many countries which have different tariffs and regulations. For their convenience, they want them all to be the same. 

These capitalists (financiers, CEOs of corporations, etc.) have homes in many countries in which they travel to by private jets (without the necessity of wearing masks, social distancing, etc.), and they naturally see the world differently. They have no allegiance to any one nation, but they hold allegiance to the Empire which largely controls most of these more peripheral countries. The Empire controls most of these countries because they furnish them loans to them to buy their products. Most of the nations controlled by the Empire are indebted up to their necks in international finance organizations like the IMF, World Bank, and all the Western banks. These finance people of the Empire largely control the foreign and many domestic policies of these peripheral nations, and they are quintessentially neoliberals or "globalists".

• Fascism - America's DNA featuring Prof. Gabriel Rockhil explaining fascism to host Chris Hodges on the latter's RT channel of YouTube. This is a best post. Although Hedges, according to his training in American academia, likes to present fascism as being exemplified by Trump and racist organizations (which tend to divide workers), Rockhill makes clear the ideological necessity of fascist-capitalism to ally itself with anti-worker organizations and ideologies influenced by socialist and communist parties who vigorously oppose private ownership of the economy or any government that serves the needs of the general public rather than the needs of capitalists. Hence, fascism is in the DNA of American capitalism.

• Blinded by a Blizzard of Data by Antony Davies and James R. Harrigan from American Institute for Economic Research.

... in May and June, although the number of new Covid cases steadily rose, the percentage of tests coming back positive declined, indicating that the rising case numbers were due less to increased cases than to increased testing. And while the media says (correctly) that the number of daily cases in November is setting records, they do not report that this is largely due to increased testing. The fraction of tests that are coming back positive, while rising, is on par with what the US experienced in mid May. 

We can blame this persistent lack of context on a perfect storm of politicians seeking to be “doing something,” media seeking to sell advertising, and people paying enough attention to be scared, but not enough to understand.

The authors blame the distorted presentation of data on the lack of context. But there are many contributing factors such as the faulty test of PCR (see this, this, and this from the inventor of the PCR test.) I regard the lack of context and all other distortions of data to have been deliberately performed by the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire's transnational (neoliberal) ruling class that has engaged in a new "9/11" project to spread fear among populations in order to prepare the groundwork for the Great Reset. The success that the Empire's ruling class has had with their exaggerated corona crisis is an illustration of their comprehensive power that I've often written about.

• Trump Was Never the Real Problem by Kenn Orphan from CounterPunch. My commentary follows: 

Although I can agree with his statements about Trump, he never identifies the "Real Problem" that is the neo-fascism of the transnational capitalist class. In fact, he seems to believe, like many current "leftists", that they are something different than the old-fashioned fascists. This is totally false. 

As I have explained in a previous essay, the transnational capitalists are the latest version of advanced capitalist rule which absorbed much of the classic fascism exhibited by the German Nazis in the 1930s and early 1940s. US capitalists merely joined with the British capitalists and what was left of the British Empire and the largely destroyed nations of Europe after WWII to construct a new empire. The new empire's ruling class consolidated their control over much of Europe with Operation Gladio and infiltration of media corporations. In 1967 they added the fascist international Jewry, at the time were mostly European capitalists, which the British had set up to control the oil-rich Middle East from Arab nationalists. The new empire can be legitimately named as US/Anglo/Zionist Empire. 

The current "Great Reset" that the Empire's ruling class and the UN's corrupted agency WHO (World Health Organization) have imposed on the world is mainly designed to get rid of "useless eaters" that I've seen used frequently in describing various aspects of their plan. This expression has a history mostly hidden in the classic fascist past (see this and this). The project is mainly designed to reduce populations, and it is the Empire's plan to cope with the climate crisis which they know is real. If the "Great Reset" contributes to their profits and power, so much the better.

• The Pleasures of Deception by Fernando Buen Abad from Internationalist 360°.

• The American Herald Tribune is no more along with 26 other domains. This was reported in an article from Anti-War entitled DOJ Seizes 27 Domains, Claims They are Controlled by Iran by Dave DeCamp. (I've been wondering why I haven't been able to access their website for several days.) My commentary follows:

This is one more piece of evidence that we are living in a fascist nation that fears the truth. Because the Empire's ruling class censored these websites, they no longer hide behind the fiction that they are "platforms" like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube which maintain an ongoing project of censorship and are loaded with propaganda serving the Empire's ruling class of capitalists. 

I expect that my domain will also disappear one day, but they will go after the big ones first. Notice that this latest censorship news is not reported by media corporations. That's because the ruling capitalist class approves. They only cover events, distorted coverage at best, because they want you to believe in their interpretations. Such censorship events are not covered because they want you to believe the much ballyhooed propaganda that America enjoys a free press (media).
