• Fauci Emails: How Top Public Health Officials Spun Tangled Web of Lies Around COVID Origin, Treatments features a 27:33m podcast by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. (with Dr. Meryl Nass) from Children's Health Defense.

• Facebook CEO offered Dr. Fauci ‘very exciting’ proposal, vaccine ‘resources’ by Raymond Wolfe from LifeSite.

• Extreme to Mainstream: The Wuhan Lab-Leak Theory featuring Ben Swann and others, from a post on RT via YouTube.
  

Joe Biden’s asked US intelligence to investigate the origins of the deadly disease, and RT’s investigative journalist and No BS host Ben Swann is doing the same. He’ll be talking to political commentator Einar Tangen in Beijing, law professor Elaine Fahey and Nicolas Wade, one of the first journalists to report on the possibility of the Wuhan “lab-leak”.

• Divide And Brainwash: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix by Australian Caitlin Johnstone with her American husband reading the script, which is provided, from her weblog.

• Propaganda and the Media: All you have to do is think – Part 4 by Larry Romanoff from "The Saker" blog. My brief commentary follows: 

The only thing I object to in this post is Romanoff's statements that imply that "Jews" are responsible for media propaganda that comprises a lie attached to a truth. He violates his own thesis that media propaganda is a lie attached to a truth. He seems to equate Zionists with Jews, but clearly not all Jews are Zionists. 

 

Jews were first identified with leftist Jews after the Russian Revolution by fascists in Western capitalist circles, most notably by pro-capitalist Nazis but also including major capitalists like Henry Ford. Clearly Jews, like any other ethnic group, have beliefs across the political spectrum from right (fascist-capitalists) to left (communist-socialists). Otherwise, his arguments are correct: capitalist propagandists mix truth with falsities in order to defend and advance their class interests.

• 💥The Notorious London Spy School Churning Out Many of the World’s Top Journalists by Alan Macleod from Mint Press News (based in Minneapolis). This is a best post and a best post of the year (so far). "Oliver Boyd-Barrett, Professor Emeritus at Bowling Green State’s School of Media and Communication and an expert in collusion between government and media, told MintPress, adding:

Elite institutions in the past and doubtless still today have been major playgrounds for intelligence services. The history of the modern nation-state generally, not just the USA, seems to suggest that national unity — and therefore elite safety — is regarded by elites as achievable only through careful management and often suppression or diversion of dissent. Far more resources are typically committed to this than many citizens, drilled in the propaganda of democracy, realize or care to concede. [my emphasis]

 

and Macleod goes on to write:

 

A recent MintPress investigation explored how Bellingcat acts to launder national security state talking points into the mainstream under the guise of being neutral investigative journalists themselves.

Newly leaked documents show how Bellingcat, Reuters and the BBC were covertly cooperating with the U.K.’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) to undermine the Kremlin and promote regime change in Moscow.

 

He names names of graduates of Kings College that are hired to key positions in media corporations like Reuters, BBC, and CNN.

• The Genocide We’re Allowing in Amazonia by J.P. Linstroth from CounterPunch. My reaction: Perhaps such "savages" remind us who are living in the "advanced nations" too much of our animal origins.

• America’s Public Health System Is Utterly Corrupt by Paul Craig Roberts from his weblog.
  

• Imagining Year 2020 Without Fauci, Redfield, USIAID, and the CDC by John Tamny from American Institute for Economic Research. My reaction: From my personal experience, I find "cancel culture" highly effective in limiting the views of ordinary Americans, particularly in relation to Americans believing whatever CDC and Dr. Fauci say despite abundant evidence to the contrary. "Cancel culture" is a ruling class sub-ideology that justifies censorship of those who have dissenting views, a characteristic of historical fascist-style capitalism. Worse yet, "cancel culture" is encouraging, and largely succeeding, in getting ordinary Americans to ignore dissident views related to the pandemic no matter how qualified they are on the subject.

• How Billionaire Foundations Fund NGOs to Advance US Foreign Policy Goals by Rick Sterling from Dissident Voice.

• The US Isn’t An Israel Puppet, Israel Isn’t A US Puppet: It’s One Empire by Caitlin Johnstone, an independent Australian blogger, with her American husband's narration of her post. (Note: This is consistent with my longtime designation of the empire: US/Anglo/Zionist Empire which I argue reflects reality.)

• Israeli Soldiers Murder Palestinian Child And Kidnap Young Men In The Village Of Bil’in by Robert Inlakesh from The Last American Vagabond.
  

• U.S. hypocrisy on human rights shines bright on Palestine by Danny Haiphong from CGTN, China's major online news publication. My reaction: Ordinary Americans are too absorbed with surviving, subject to brainwashing propaganda, and other distracting nonsense, that they will ignore reports like this.

• 'She was too vocal': Outrage grows over AP journalist fired for pro-Palestine views by MEE staff from Middle East Eye (based in London).
  

• We’re wired to care for others featuring an interview conducted by Sophie Shevardnadze of Tbilisi, Georgia (Sophie&Co.) with Patricia Churchland, a retired neuroscientist from San Diego, California, from Shevardnadze's RT channel on YouTube. My reaction: Although Churchland's theory of human nature as social animals makes sense, she admits that her field of neuroscience are unable to fully explain the phenomenon of sociopaths ("psychopaths"). Could it be that the man-made system of capitalism rewards "psychopaths" with wealth and power?

• How Bill Gates & Big Pharma used children as “guinea pigs”…and got away with it. By Bernard Marx from Off-Guardian.
  

• Russell Brand: Is There a ‘Deliberate Attempt’ to Hide Origins of COVID? featuring a 17:32m video of British Russell Brand from Children's Health Defense asking all kinds of questions to unravel the mysteries of the origins of Covid-19 illness that has been used to rationalize a worldwide pandemic and health restrictions on our civil liberties of lock-downs, mask-wearing, and social distancing, all of which bankrupted an unknown number of small businesses and enriched billionaires. My brief commentary follows: 

I have been through all this before with the assassinations of the Kennedys, Malcolm X, Martin L. King, 9/11, the invasion of Iraq, etc. All the dissenting reports were heavily censored combined with media corporations promoting the official views. I have long concluded that these crimes were committed by a fascist clique in the US ruling capitalist class devoted to building a powerful, world-dominating, capitalist empire combining the military might of the USA with what was left of the British Empire following WWII. Israel, and Zionist financial power, was added later.

• 💥Propaganda and the Media – Deception on a Grand Scale – Part 2 by Larry Romanoff from "The Saker Blog". This is a best post. (Note: Romanoff analyses Empire propaganda for what it is: another weapon in the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire's quest to dominate the world. First, he devotes considerable space to treat how the propaganda machine works against China, next in Mexico, and finally in the implied Empire's capture of the WHO and their sterilization efforts of the developing countries.) 

It is important to keep in mind that ‘the media’ is not some amorphous, inanimate object but a group of real people with names, who plan, script and conduct these propaganda campaigns. I have had encounters with some of these ‘reporters’ and ‘columnists’. Many of them qualify as gangsters, acting as front men for a criminal enterprise, using their public power to shield and defend those who should be imprisoned and trashing anyone who stands in their way.

In contrast to hearing much media noise on a topic, we sometimes have only a deafening silence which is equally a guarantee of propaganda, this time in the form of censorship. When the entire Western media unanimously have no comment on an important current topic, we can be certain that much has happened behind the scenes to ensure this result.

• Newsweek blows lid off American 60,000-person strong “secret army” by Paul Antonopoulos, independent geopolitical analyst, from BRICS.
  

• Sober-Minded Socialism by Devin Thomas O'Shea from Current Affairs. My reaction: Although I seem to be immune from any kind of addiction and I despise the established religions, I think that Alcoholics Anonymous is onto something.

• Non-compliance at Travel Checkpoints featuring Dan Dicks in 13:21m interview from Corbett's website regarding an onerous encounter with the RCMP, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, while traveling in British Columbia. My reaction: I think we all must disturb and resist in any way we can. Mario Savio (of UC Berkeley) words expressed in 1964 seem relevant here:
  

There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part! You can't even passively take part! And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels ... upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop! And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!

• James Patrick with CJ Hopkins on the Covidian Cult featuring CJ Hopkins, who currently lives in Berlin, in interview (a little over an hour) from Ovalmedia's channel on YouTube.

• U.S. And Its Allies Try to Split the World in Two by Eric Zuesse from Strategic Culture Foundation. (Note: You may need to know what "BJP" means.) My commentary follows: 

I love this author because he documents, which I can learn from, so many of his historical arguments, and because his understanding of history is most similar to mine compared to others identified currently identified as "investigative historians" (I've yet to find his credentials, but he clearly knows history). But we part company as to whether the Democratic and Republican parties matter in the fake democracy such as ours. Furthermore, Zuesse is an unapologetic devotee of FDR which I am decidedly not.

 

Roosevelt was a strange capitalist in that he didn't make his millions (today that would be billions) during his lifetime, but lived off of investments that he inherited from his early ancestors from Holland. He himself was an avid follower of ancestry, and he described an ancestor whose wealth was obtained through the China trade, or in other words, he may have engaged in drug trafficking. 

 

His neighbors, the Astors, Rockefellers, and Vanderbilts, were far richer. But he grew up with them and attended the same schools as them: Groton, a private prep school, and Harvard. However, possibly adding to his character was his coming down with polio just when started a career in politics. FDR later established the Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute for Rehabilitation. Corporate media cooperated with him to ignore his affliction which confined him to a wheelchair.

 

Thus, when he was attacked by a political adversary because of his support for government programs to help the poor in the Great Depression, he once said that he was "saving capitalism". And, he did.

• 💥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.)

The reason these little hall monitors do not consider this to be “real reporting” is because they do not care about — except when they venerate — real power centers like security state agencies (CIA/FBI/NSA/DHS) or the Pentagon, Wall Street hedge funds, Silicon Valley monopolies, repressive regimes. They think “reporting” means writing what those agencies and power centers tell them to say, or ruining the reputations of people for saying bad words on 4Chan and expressing prohibited thoughts with Facebook memes and Clubhouse chats. That is all they recognize as journalism; everything else is “harassment” because real reporting makes the lives of elites and people who wield real influence more difficult ....

• Dems Limit Stimulus Check Eligibility After Slashing Unemployment and another post entitled Intercept Reporter Caught Lying Again About Third Parties featuring Jimmy Dore exposing the fake democracy we enjoy in the USA in a 9:04m and 17:22m videos via YouTube. My commentary follows: 
  

I don't like his framing of what I consider a subversion of the Democratic Party as left-right on the political spectrum. Terms like left and right refer to different classes under a class structure society. In the current era we see mostly capitalist structured societies. 

 

The right-wing capitalist agencies of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire have used subversion of political parties as they have successfully used to subvert entire movements and nations. All they need to do is link benefits or money to the change of orientation to reflect capitalist interests and values. This is the secret of their success. 

 

Remember that most people are motivated by benefits and money they receive from a ruling class. This is the Thatcher principle that that defines a weakness of humans: "...there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families." This ignores the role of different benefits accrues to various social-economic classes under any class-structured society. A capitalist ruling class always, and necessarily, must obscure the role of classes in order to exploit other classes.

 

Capitalist ruling classes have often used this control over jobs and careers in a primary way to co-op people into activities that they would otherwise not engage in. This is especially true of highly educated people (upper-middle-class) necessary to maintain and protect all the capitalist machinery necessary for the system to enhance the wealth and power of the ruling class. This practice has led to the corruption of many highly trained professional and managerial people throughout every institution in the Empire and beyond.

(Note: Chung bases her history of the growth of the CIA on original documents and other writers who did likewise which is the responsibility of every good historian. WWII was really fought by the British and their American allies to preserve the capitalist system and what was left of the British Empire, but they temporarily needed the Soviet Union to accomplish this. However, the history of this period has been re-written by propaganda hacks hired by the subversive cabal lodged in the State Department and Wall Street and their fake history has been subsequently taught in US schools, media, and Hollywood films. Most Americans and many others have no idea of the real history of this period. This project was intentionally undertaken after WWII to prepare Americans and others for the Cold War against the Soviet Union and their bureaucratically controlled socialist-type of economy, and to build a capitalist empire of their own in place of the Nazi's Third Reich. Her history dovetails nicely with my historical posts regarding WWII (see this and this).

Unfortunately, true to his commitment to anarchism, he points to governments, and occasionally, billionaires, or in this video academic eugenicists, but never to the capitalist ruling classes who control governments or, indirectly, academic appointments.

• As the Insurrection Narrative Crumbles, Democrats Cling to it More Desperately Than Ever:  by Glenn Greenwald from his weblog at Substack. My commentary follows: 

In the subtitle Greenwald asks a great question: "If the threat of "armed insurrectionists" and "domestic terrorists" is as great as some claim, why do they have to keep lying and peddling crude media fictions about it?" My answer: Because Congress serves the needs of the capitalist ruling class. It is this function for which they are rewarded by the ruling class in the form of campaign financing so that Congress-people can keep their well-paid jobs and enjoy free medical care. But, this accomplishment is the source of so many other lies: elections matter, the claim of democracy, etc. Our masters are so accustomed to lying that have become chronic liars. They couldn't tell the truth if their lives depended on it.

 

This phenomenon derives from the basic moral principle of capitalism with which you might be familiar: do what you have to do to please our masters in the ruling class (and their authorities and TV "talking heads") so that we can raise our families in security. The ruling class has gotten away with the most outrageous deceptions in the past (9/11, all the assassinations, the "War on Drugs", the "War on Terrorism", their many wars, etc. So why wouldn't the success of these deceptions (and the passive acceptance from most Americans) embolden them further with the grossly exaggerated pandemic and the implementation of the "Great Reset" (I strongly suspect that they are related)?

In this second part of “Dragon’s Blood Harvest at the Dawn of Human Capital Markets,” we will examine the virtually unbroken history between American power-brokers and the highest echelons of power in China — a history that harkens back to the earliest days of capitalism, slavery, and the opium trade and that established a permanent pipeline for the transfer of technology and medical and scientific knowledge to China through Western philanthropic organizations dating back to the early nineteenth century.

Towards the second half of the twentieth century, even as China’s post-war communist revolution seemed to diminish Western influence in the country, these early links to American academic, scientific, and banking circles were never completely severed. By 1971, diplomatic relations between the U.S. and Mao’s China were officially restored, just in time for the wholesale transfer of American manufacturing to China under the auspices of the “opening” of the Asian continent.

• 💥Government Docs From 2002 Reveal 20 Year Plan To ‘Alter Evolution’ With Nanotechnology, a one hour excerpt from Ryan Cristián's usual several hours talk video-talk show posted on The Last American Vagabond. This is clearly a best post. (Note: I encountered several technical problems while accessing this audio-video program. Cristián has helpfully posted this essential and very interesting post on various websites. He quotes from various government documents (which he cites) starting from more than 20 years ago that clearly is alarming about research combining the fields of biotechnology, information technology, and nanotechnology to modify human behavior and engineer bioweapons which serve various interests of the ruling capitalist class. The resemblance of the recent Klaus Schwab's Reset speech and this research is uncanny, to say the least. This ongoing research is accompanied by government drives in support of censorship.)
  

• The ‘Transition’ of the Élites by Alastair Crooke from Strategic Culture Foundation. My reaction: In this essay Crooke, a British ex-MI6 agent, diplomat, now geopolitical analyst, sees the core of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire, the USA, as being fragmented by generations and factions. Perhaps the imperialist USA is in a dying phase in which fragmentation is the last phase. It is to be hoped because I have never before experienced such a deep feeling of living in an insane nation.

• The Arab Spring – A Personal Story by Finian Cunningham from Strategic Culture Foundation. (Note: You will need to know the meaning of the British phrase "came a cropper".) My reaction: Suddenly news about the ongoing riots and protests in Bahrain dropped out of sight. This story fills in the gap of missing information about the attempted, and very genuine, revolution in Bahrain beginning in 2010. It also confirms my theory that all mainstream media concentrate their reporting on events that are crucial to their masters in the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire. This experience together with the MSM's extensive coverage of Arab Spring events in Egypt helped me to see that the 24/7 TV coverage by MSM about the exaggerated "corona pandemic" is largely serving the Empire's policy interests.

• RED ALERT: Food Supply Chain Shutting Down as Blackouts Spread – Grand Solar Minimum by Christian of the Ice Age Farmer.

Could it be that they don't want to alarm people, or provoke perceived adversarial nations? One can only speculate.

• The History of US and British Support to Mussolini’s Fascism by Shane Quinn from Internationalist 360°. My commentary follows: 

This article is entirely accurate, but it will be a surprise, and likely not to be believed by ordinary Americans and others. This history contradicts the "history" that most children have been exposed to in their educational experience in the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire that is now the dominant force in the world. As capitalism evolved into its natural end-state of fascism among many of the leading capitalist powers in the 1920s and '30s, it was natural that leading political figures of all the capitalist states were drawn to the fascist leaders of that period. But this didn't last, because the leading capitalist power of that time was the British Empire, and it was threatened by the rise and power of fascist Germany and their allies.

“Signor Mussolini” would only become a problem for Churchill and colleagues in the latter stages of his fascist rule, when British interests were threatened by the despot’s colonial ambitions.

It is unfortunate that Quinn did not develop the many implications of this historical development and the rewriting of history that was subsequently done by most historians, and especially those upper-middle-class propagandists and careerists employed by the ruling classes of the USA and throughout the British Empire. It demonstrates the power of ruling classes that is often missed by ordinary people. The latter are reared to be compulsively obedient to authorities who are employees of the capitalist ruling ruling classes. Notice I didn't mention actual members of the ruling class because they mostly stayed invisible by controlling the authorities with job and career opportunities. Often employees were thoroughly indoctrinated and co-opted by the ruling class to engage in sociopathic activities that would please their bosses.

This tale is so pregnant with many insights about humans, but I will explore only one of them. It is obvious that propaganda played an enormous role in changing the views of ordinary people who mostly had to struggle to maintain themselves and their families. This lack of time and the effects of indoctrination provided by their masters to respect and obey their authorities encouraged ordinary people to believe what they were told by mostly upper-middle-class authorities. The latter's well-paid careers were controlled by the mostly invisible capitalist ruling classes.

This actual history of the author explains why the British Empire and allies suddenly found themselves disenamored with, and severely threatened by, their fellow capitalists in the Axis nations to the extent that they joined their arch-enemy, the Soviets, to defeat the competing capitalist empire represented by the Axis powers. (This was especially evident in the behavior of Prime Minister Winston Churchill who had a visceral hatred of the Soviets. FDR often played a conciliatory role when he and Churchill met with Stalin.) If Germany had not launched their major air attacks on British cities after more the eight months since they declared war on Germany (the "phony war") and instead had headed east through Czechoslovakia to invade the Soviet Union, actual history might be telling us a very different story. (See my history of the war.) However, Germany had always competed with Britain to be the dominant force in the world, and their defeat in WWI left a residue of revengeful taste in their collective mouths.

Thus, the Allied capitalist ruling classes of WWII suddenly found themselves in a very different situation. The British ruling class was severely threatened by the growing fascist countries and gathered their Empire forces, warmed up their relations with the USA (which saw threats to their interests from a rising fascist Japan), and even established relations with their arch-nemesis the Soviet Union in order to defeat the threat of the German, Italian, Japanese threat to their British Empire.

However, they had to deal with their previous history of approval of fascist powers in order to prepare their ordinary citizens to fight this threat to the British Empire. The history of this propaganda project was successful beyond their wildest dreams. As a result, they had to banish Allied history from any hints of previous support for fascism. They didn't overlook its successful accomplishment and its lessons for further control of the minds of ordinary people via advanced propaganda technology. We are now seeing in America the fruits of this development in blatant examples of censorship, heavily biased anti-Trump propaganda, and psychological operations such as 9/11 and the exaggerated corona pandemic.

• The Politics of Insanity: Sick or Sinful? by S. M. Smyth from Global Research. 

Perhaps this is a world of moral, not mental, illness. A sickness of the soul.

No longer needed, surplus to requirements, a useless eater of our body energy. Better to cut it out in one clean, surgical strike. 

Can a whole culture fall prey to a collective soul-sickness, poisoned with the Kool-Aid of a warrior death cult? Can “this is war!” lose its power to thrill in the boardrooms, sports stadia, and fields of battle? Can Veblen’s “predatory culture” evolve past the need for “full spectrum dominance?”

My reaction: Most activists are unaware that capitalist agencies of the Deep State like the CIA, FBI, NSA, etc. All the "intelligence" agencies use agent provocateurs to disrupt any activities by movements, both foreign and domestic, anyone who interferes with the power and profits of the capitalist ruling class. Because most activists don't pay attention to accurate foreign news provided by independent sources, they are often naive about the domestic uses of agent provocateurs. Fortunately, Blumenthal isn't, and at least some members of BLM are not. Such agent provocateurs are very well paid and follow capitalist moral principles that all capitalists adhere to: what is best for me, my family, and is sanctioned by powerful authorities are the right course of action.

• Report on ‘Havana Syndrome’ Prompts Call for More Research Into Health Impact of 5G by Pam Long from Children's Health Defense. 

• China’s Real Threat Is to America’s Ruling Ideology by Richard Hanania from Palladium. My commentary follows:

Hanania argues that the US is an imperialist nation that is bent on "global hegemony". After that he introduces several errors in his geopolitical analysis.

Ultimately, the danger for American elites is not that the U.S. may become less able to accomplish geopolitical objectives. Rather, it is that more Americans might begin to question the logic of U.S. global hegemony. Perhaps not every state is destined to become a liberal democracy, and nations with very different political systems can coexist peacefully, as many countries in East Asia do. Maybe the U.S. will not always be at the frontier of military and economic power, and the country that overtakes it may have completely different attitudes about the nature of the relationship between government and its citizens.

First of all, he refers to "American elites". This is a capitalist ideological term for ruling class. Next, in the third sentence, he writes "Perhaps not every state is destined to become a liberal democracy....". The term "liberal democracy" means bourgeois democracy, or the capitalist version of democracy which is a fake version of democracy. The author doesn't understand that nations ruled by capitalism inevitably become imperialist internationally and fascist internally down their acquisitive road to owning and dominating everyone or every nation on Earth. He is arguing for tolerance in a beast that is inherently intolerant.

• While Railing Against Trump Coup, Biden Appoints Chief Ukraine Coup-Plotter Victoria Nuland by Alan Macleod from Mint Press News. (Note: You may also be interested in another report about a Biden appointment to be the Director of National Intelligence.) My reaction: Forget about what the "78-year-old Delawarean said".  Biden's administration takes order from the Deep State, whose orders he knows so well, as he continues their program of regime change with nations that demonstrate any independence from the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire. Most American workers don't follow foreign affairs, but they may start after witnessing attacks on their safety and welfare. The ever-shrinking capitalist ruling class regards workers as "deplorables" who increasingly do not share their interests of dominance over other nations, and certainly not over them.

• Sterilisation by Dave Cullen from his channel Computing Forever on Bitchute. (Note: I will be gradually converting from YouTube to Bitchute due to YouTube's practice of censorship.) My reaction: I don't agree with one of Cullen's opinion that there is no over-population on our planet and our masters are concerned with what he asserts as a fake "climate change" scenario. Capitalist ruling classes have always welcomed population increases and they were aided by collaborated religious authorities to promote families having children and restricted access to contraceptives. The Empire's ruling class is aware of, and concerned about, the overwhelming scientific evidence of the threat of dramatic climate destabilization, but their solutions to the crisis are totally self-serving as one would expect. Although vigorously denying it, they refuse to give up on their polluting industries, which directly or indirectly result in global warming, but also provide them with fabulous wealth and power.

• ‘Progressive is a Farce’ — Ask the Squad. By Erica Gaines from Internationalist 360°. My reaction: 

This article illustrates the power of the family's interest in whatever social justice values these individuals held before their very comfortable careers in government. This piece of evidence supports the view of the general capitalist class that there is no such thing as society, only families (and possibly their neighbors) so well articulated by the former Prime Minister of Britain Margaret Thatcher. Thatcher was only recognizing the reality of the capitalist system and its promotion of the welfare of families. This ultimately leads, like the game of Monopoly, to a few "winners" and many "losers". Placing one's family's interests before society's is downgrading the importance of societies. 

What most people don't know is that societies are what has preserved the human species for several millions of years before humans resided in communities made possible by agricultural advances only in the last 10,000 years. Therefore, class structured societies with their emphasis on the welfare of the family are a dynamic that will ultimately lead to human extinction in which all humans and most other species lose. With the destabilization of the climate caused by human activities under capitalism, humans are threatening their extinction along with most other existing species on our unique planet Earth.
