Posts that I especially recommend for Monday, April 26, 2021

• 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.).

• Economic Collapse Continues Uninterrupted by Shawgi Tell from Dissident Voice.

• The Fed Has Misled the Public about the “Strength” of the Wall Street Mega Banks: This Chart Shows the True Picture by Pam & Russ Martens from their weblog Wall Street on Parade. 

• 175 Years of Border Invasions: The Anniversary of the U.S. War on Mexico and the Roots of Northward Migration by David Vine from Council on Hemispheric Affairs.
  

• Challenged on Syria cover-up, OPCW chief lies and US-UK-France evade by Aaron Maté from The Grayzone.
  

• NYT Investigates U.S. Jewish Billionaire Funding For Anti-Islamists - Then Distracts With Loads Of Anti-Russian Slander by Bernhard, an independent German blogger, from his weblog Moon of Alabama. (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.
  

• The Best Intentions of Sir Ronald Cohen: Building the Crypto-Corrals of Social Investment by Raul Diego from Mint Press News. (Note: Read this if your interested to learn about a leading driver of the Great Reset.)
  

• 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.

• Edge of Extinction: Australian Wildfires Warmed the Atmosphere features Prof. (retired) Guy McPherson, an independent scientist who has focused on the climate crisis, from his YouTube channel in a 3:03m video.
  

Posts that I especially recommend today: Wednesday, February 17, 2021

• Beyond Lucrative: Jeffrey Epstein’s Billionaire Tax Avoidance Assistance Business by Daniel Hemel and Bob Lord from Inequality.

• US Election 2020: From Conspiracy Theory to Conspiracy Fact by Andrew Korybko from Off-Guardian (based in Britain).
  

• How Gov’t Hides The Real Unemployment Rate featuring Lee Camp charges the government with lying about unemployment, but he doesn't explain how in this 4:05m YouTube video.

• The False and Exaggerated Claims Still Being Spread About the Capitol Riot by Glenn Greenwald from his weblog on Substack. My reaction: What Greenwald misses is that the Deep State has taken over completely what honest journalism ever aspired to be throughout the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire. Only getting rid of capitalists, and all other hegemonic social-economic classes, can there ever be an honest media.

• The Empire Attacks BDS For The Same Reason Nixon Started The Drug War by Australian Caitlin Johnstone from her weblog. My reaction: Nixon's anti-(illicit) drug policies were well understood by activists in the early 1970s, but the public completely bought the lies. Now mainstream politicians, who are employed by the capitalist ruling class, are trying to profit off of marijuana sales to the consternation of the older-age public--the same people who bought the lies of the ruling class in the 1970s and beyond.

• News Anchor Suggests Using Drone Strikes on Trump Supporters featuring Ben Swann of ISE trying via a 13 minute video presentation to correct the lies of contemporary "journalists" that have contributed to actual terrorism using the actual history of lies spread by ruling class media corporations. Such sociopathic "journalists" will still be hired by media corporations and will enjoy comfortable careers in the future, and a gullible public, while also pursuing comfortable careers, will continue to believe them. This self-reinforcing phenomenon will continue until sufficient numbers of the public will not accept such lies because they have been exposed to independent media.

• The Empty Promise of Western-Style "Equality" and "Democracy" by Brian Berletic patiently giving a corrective presentation via a 5:27m video to mythical concepts like "Illuminati". Capitalist ruling class media like to encourage such myths that detract their gullible listeners from them and their dastardly deeds.

• How Governments and the Media Help Corporations Get Away With Their Crimes by Rod Driver from his weblog Elephants in the Room.
  

• 💥Global Coup d’État: Mapping the Corporate Takeover of Global Governance. This 31:14m video (and transcript) appears to be a collaboration between two non-profit agencies--Global Political Economy (GPE) and Transnational Institute (TNI). This post is undoubtedly a best post. My commentary follows:

I have posted numerous articles from the latter organization, but I've only recently discovered GPE. This video features Lynn Fries of the Global Political Economy (GPE) conducting an interview with Nick Buxton of TNI. This essential post points out the subversion of the United Nations by corporations. Previously, I've posted articles that have explored the ways that secretive capitalist agencies like the CIA have subverted governments to promote Empire interests, but now they are corrupting the UN with their class-based motives of profit and power.

My impression of TNI was of a do-gooder (def) type of organization that believes that capitalism and a meaningful democracy were not incompatible. Reflecting on Buxton's remarks, I believe they are waking up to their contradictions. (See my remarks about this organization a year ago.)

(Note: Every time I consider retiring from maintaining this website, I encounter an excellent article that I want to spread far and wide. As long as this keeps up, I won't retire until forced to by ill-health. If there is someone out there in the blogosphere that can help out, I would greatly appreciate it.)

• US, OAS, Colombia Try to Steal Ecuador’s Election from Popular Socialist Candidate, While Spreading Fake News from Internationalist 360°.

• The Guardian Revealed Its True Face in Sacking a Columnist for Criticising US Military Aid to Israel by Jonathan Cook from CounterPunch.

• The West Refuses To Recognize Palestinian Democratic Election Outcomes by Robert Inlakesh from The Last American Vagabond. 

• Caught In The Act - New York Times "Selectively Misquotes" Scientists To Fit Its "Prescribed Narrative" by Bernhard (a German independent blogger) from his weblog Moon of Alabama.
  

• With Argentina, the Condor Plan Closed the “Circle of Death!” by Gabriela Calloti from Internationalist 360°. This is what I lived through in the 1970s and '80s:

The expert began her presentation by indicating that the “concrete base” of Operation Condor was in Chile during the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet after the overthrow of Salvador Allende in September 1973. Plan Condor and Operation Condor were launched by U.S. intelligence services. 

Operation Condor included three phases designed by the FBI (U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation) and with input from the CIA (U.S. Central Intelligence Agency). They were aimed at “finishing off all the important exiles abroad in each of the Southern Cone countries”, she explained. 

Included in this scheme was the training of Latin American military personnel at the U.S. Southern Command and the meetings of the U.S. Armed Forces. This “ensured the dependence of our region”, she affirmed. Referring to the founding of the Condor Plan, she said that it took place on November 25, 1975 in Chile at the invitation of General Manuel Contreras, head of the Chilean political police DINA (National Intelligence Directorate) with the participation of Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, Bolivia, Chile and Argentina.

But this US/Anglo/Zionist Empire's subversion of nations continues today especially in Belarus, Russia, Myanmar, and China under the banner of "human rights".

• Atlantic Council Braces for Opportunities of Potential Bioterror Attack by Raul Diego from Mint Press News. My reaction: Could this be a projected (def) cover for the Empire's plans? The US/Anglo/Zionist Empire has never stopped developing bio-weapons since they employed such weapons in the Korean War (read This Must Be the Place (2013) by Dave Chaddock).

• Pentagon Tries to Pretend that it’s Engaged in “Harmless Activities” in Syria by Vladimir Platov from New Eastern Outlook.

• Conspiracy Theories Are Caused By Government Secrecy by Australian Caitlin Johnstone from her weblog. My reaction: She writes: "All the fixation on the way unregulated speech on the internet has contributed to the circulation of conspiracy theories conveniently ignores the real cause of those theories: government secrecy." I would go further: If government agencies and their collaborators in media corporations did not intentionally lie about their actions, there would be no need for conspiracy theories. It is secrecy, censorship of independent media, and deception that necessitates the appearance of conspiracy theories. Clearly, more Americans than ever before are mistrustful about information released from government sources and media corporations. There is a distinct feeling that they've been lied to so much in the past: the assassinations of JFK, ML King, RK, Malcolm X, the Vietnam War, 9/11, War on Terror, etc.

• 💥Opening the CIA’s Can of Worms by Edward Curtin from Off-Guardian. This is a best post. I've read widely on, and carefully followed, the CIA for a long time, and they represent the active arm of the Deep State that long ago decided to build an empire that rules the world.
  

• NATO’s Road To Perdition With Ukraine, an editorial from Strategic Culture Foundation.
  

• When America Voted Out Fascism: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix by Caitlin Johnstone from her weblog.

• The New Normal requires a NEW Response by Catte Black and Vanessa Beeley from Off-Guardian (based in Britain). (Note: You will to know what PTB means--the Powers that Be--I hate such references to the ruling capitalist classes. "Elites", "the rich", "billionaires", or "oligarchies" aren't much better.) My reaction: People are beginning to get impatient with their governments' management of this pandemic.

• The “pandemic” modelling cabal have a serious conflict of interest by Rosemary Frei, MSc, from The Wall Will Fall (Vanessa Beeley's weblog).

• Farmers’ Protest in India – Price of Failure Will Be immense by Colin Todhunter (an independent blogger who has lived a number of years in India) from Off-Guardian (based in Britain).

Radhakrishnan explains why farmers are rising up, how they are organized, and how the neoliberal government of Narendra Modi has responded to the movement. 

Just one day after this interview, the Modi government raided the offices of Radhakrishnan’s employer, Newsclick.in, and detained its editors in what has been denounced as an act of intimidation against critical media. Learn more about the disturbing press crackdown here.

•  Essential reading to understand the COVID19 fraud. By Vanessa Beeley, a Brit, from her weblog The Wall Will Fall. This is a best post because of its extensive documentation.

• Is it True that the New Variants are Very Dangerous? by Rosemary Frei, MSc, from her weblog. (Note: This post features a 9:18m video that features Frei summarizing her report that follows in the post.)

• Trust the Science by Dave Cullen, an Irishman, in a satirical 9:37m video from his Bitchute channel Computing Forever.

• Revealed: How Facebook Plans to Read Your Brain from Children's Health Defense.
  

• The (New Normal) War on Domestic Terror by CJ Hopkins from his satirical weblog Consent Factory, Inc. My reaction: No doubt the NY Times triggered this response by calling for a "Reality Czar". I think Hopkins could be put out of the satirical business by reading/watching mainstream media. They increasingly write/show their own self-targeting satire.

• Joe Biden and the Revenge of the Behaviorists (Why Statistical Thinking Can Get You Killed) by Matthew Ehret from FRN (Fort Russ News). My reaction: This post reveals how scientists can, and often do, serve the capitalist ruling class, who are already corrupted by wealth and power, by manipulating data to support ruling class policies. Such scientists are rewarded with comfortable careers for the benefit of themselves and their families. The necessity of preserving their privileged life-styles is often too alluring for scientists, especially when they already have sociopathic tendencies.
  

• Democrats WANT To Lose The Midterms: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix by Caitlin Johnstone, an Australian, from her weblog. My reaction: She knows far more about the USA than most Americans. I wonder if her American husband has something to do with this.

• Really Existing Capitalism is Crony Capitalism by Rod Driver from Elephants in the Room, his weblog on Medium's website.

• Canadian Government Delays Mandatory Traveler Quarantine featuring an interview with John Carpay of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, which appears to be a non-profit center that is independent of the government, conducted by James Corbett, a Canadian, from The Corbett Report. (Note: Canada is very much a part of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire being a former member of the British Empire. Many of Carpay's comments apply to Americans. Of course, we are both citizens of the same imperialist Empire.)

The Canadian government announced it was going to subject Canadian residents to mandatory quarantine, at their own expense, after returning from international travel, regardless of their negative COVID status. After public backlash and the threat of legal action, the government is now delaying those plans, but some are alleging that the government has already arrested Canadians arriving in the country by air and transported them to a secret hotel location. Joining us to discuss this developing story and what Canadians can do about it is John Carpay of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms.

• China newsbrief and sitrep by Godfree Roberts from "The Saker Blog".
  

• Farmers’ Protest in India: Price of Failure Will Be immense by Colin Todhunter (a Brit who has lived a number of years in India) from CounterPunch. My reaction: What is happening in India is representative of the worldwide effects of capitalist development through the corporatization (def. American English) of agriculture.

The plan to radically restructure agrifood in the country is being sold to the public under the guise of ‘modernising’ the sector. And this is to be carried out by self-proclaimed ‘wealth creators’ like Zuckerberg, Bezos and Ambani who are highly experienced at creating wealth – for themselves.

• How Ecuador’s US-backed, coup-supporting ‘ecosocialist’ candidate Yaku Pérez aids the right-wing by Ben Norton from The Grayzone. My reaction: Note how similar this is in the USA, the center of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire. Subversive Empire agents now have control of the Democratic Party which traditionally supported workers (within a capitalist framework).

• Portuguese Court Rules PCR Tests “Unreliable” & Quarantines “Unlawful” from Off-Guardian.
  

• An Education in Viruses and Public Health, from Michael Yeadon, Former VP of Pfizer featuring Yeadon in a 32:49m video speaking about covid-19 illness from American Institute for Economic Research.
  

• GLENN GREENWALD on The Media Elite! on The Jimmy Dore Show. (Note: Greenwald answers piercing questions from Dore about his quarrel with the Intercept, and the pressures put on journalists who try to do honest reports.)

• GLENN GREENWALD Calls Out AOC's Fake Progressiveness posted on The Jimmy Dore Show. This is a best post. (Note: "AOC" stands for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. In this fascinating teleconferencing discussion (38:42m), Dore begins asking Greenwald some probing questions about censorship in the broadcasts owned by most media corporations, and Greenwald offers some fascinating and sophisticated insights not only about censorship, but other political subjects in plain everyday language that ordinary people use and understand.)
  

• False Flags and the Dawn of Bioterrorism featuring James Corbett explaining what is meant about the expression "false flag attack", the use of terrorism and recent forms of bio-terrorism as a false flag attacks. Posted on his weblog The Corbett Report. (Note: The US was criticized for using bio-terrorism, which was thoroughly covered up, in the Korean War. Read This Must Be the Place by Dave Chaddock.)
  

• Anthrax To COVID: The Ongoing Anthrax Deception That Created The BioSecurity State & COVID-19 featuring Ryan Cristián of The Last American Vagabond conducting a 52:13m interview with "David Meiswinkle, President Executive Director of Lawyer’s Committee For 9/11 Inquiry, here to discuss the current status of their ongoing uphill battle to gain some semblance of government accountability and transparency in regard to 9/11 and the subsequent (and clearly interconnected) anthrax false flag." (Note: Meiswinkle mentions "Daschle"--this is Sen. Tom Daschle from South Dakota who was reticent about passing the Patriot Act.   
  

• Predictive Programming? Israeli Publishers Have Been Writing About a COVID-Like Pandemic for Years by Raul Diego from Mint Press News (based in Minneapolis). A best post. My reaction: I'm especially impressed with his analysis of the psychological preparations for the public to accept a new pandemic and the restrictions imposed upon them. If the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire's Deep State were not responsible for this pandemic, they certainly were prepared to bring it off successfully.

• New York Times Job Listing Shows How Western Propaganda Operates by Caitlin Johnstone from her weblog. This is a best post because she highlights capitalist propaganda as a kind of religion for some people (sociopaths) who want to advance their careers and, by the way, to insure the comforts of their families. (Recall here Margaret Thatcher's statement that there is no such thing as society, there are only families.) Beliefs that support families are the cornerstone of capitalism in contrast to working class loyalties. These sociopaths don't question what they write. It is all to curry favor from their bosses in order to advance their careers and the comforts of their families. This is true of most upper-middle-class people, and some middle class people, who have adopted the sociopathic religion of capitalism.

• Dominion Part of Council That Disputed Election Integrity Concerns in DHS Statement by Jeff Carlson from The Epoch Times. 

• Lord Malloch Brown Revealed: The British Hand Behind the Coup Shows Its Scales Again by Matthew Ehret from Strategic Culture Foundation.
  

• Unspeakable Memories: The Day John Kennedy Died by Edward Curtin from his weblog Behind the Curtain. (Note: Global Research is currently posting several articles on the JFK assassination.) My reaction follows: 

My memory was very much the same as Curtin's emotional experiences. But there were differences. One major difference is that I was already a genuine socialist (by this I mean that people should own and control the economy to distinguish from social democrats like Bernie Sanders who only supposedly believe in a strong welfare state but with private ownership of the economy), and as such I found it completely understandable that the growing fascist Deep State could not tolerate a peace-loving president. I concluded that this incident was a sign of worse things to come, and was a least intellectually prepared for them. I, too, was enrolled in sociology course; but when this happened in addition to other experiences, I decided to abandon plans for an academic career in political sociology because I knew that academia was already filled with professors who, in order to protect their careers, had already sold out to the capitalist ruling class.

Posts that I especially recommend today: Sunday, October 11, 2020

Off-Guardian is running a series of posts that I have neglected because I was suffering from an overload of articles about articles from reputable sources that downplayed what I believe is an unreasonably hysterical reporting by corporate media on this pandemic. I'm referring to the first of a series of posts entitled "The Great Viral Debate" which essentially introduced the series in which two well-qualified experts, Tim Anderson, PhD and Prof. Denis Rancourt, debate the following proposition:

Does SARS-COV-2 merit suppression measures in order to combat the virus rather than the herd/community immunity approach?

On following days they present "opening statements" by the two experts (here and here). (I don't know if they will be posting additional series of articles focusing on additional arguments made by the two experts.) One part which I recommend to you, is rather lengthy video discussion between Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, with whom I was particularly impressed, and Dr. Zubin Damania, found at the end of one of these posts. Damania is a physician-comedian-host who has a channel (The ZDoggMD) on YouTube.

However, I did encounter one issue with Damania when I found a particular video as I sampled some of his videos on his channel. In this video he severely criticized Dr. Judy Mikovitz and the audience of "Plandemic 1 and 2" after googling Mikovitz. Mikovitz in one of the latter videos described her experiences with Dr. Fauci of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Damania doesn't cite his sources of information about Mikovitz.

I have had a recent experience with a person who has a Masters in Public Health. I recommended to her a video "1986: The Act" thinking that she would be interested in the content of this film. However, she, like Damania who googled Dr. Mikovitz, also googled the film, and found material totally discrediting the well-documented film. I asked her to supply the sources of her information and she reported Wikipedia, The Guardian, and some other obscure website. Because she was absolutely convinced of the validity of these sources, she refused to watch the film! This is typical of most educated (brainwashed) Americans who have spent considerable time being educated (indoctrinated) in universities. They are simply unaware of the conspiratorial nature of our ruling capitalist class, their filling of all commonly used information resources and media with their biases and propaganda, and much less of the major crimes they have committed all over the world.

I can't really vouch for all of my posts because it is becoming very difficult to sort out the truth from an ocean of lies. Edward Curtin has also encountered such difficulties, and he recently authored a book entitled Seeking Truth in A Country of Lies. I should read it. {Edited for clarity at 8:15 PM CT.)

• A Socialist Case Against Howie Hawkins and the Green Party by Ezra Brain from Left Voice.
  

• Senate GOP releases report on Hunter Biden's dealings in Ukraine from The Duran (based in Cyprus). My reaction: It is hard to know which candidate among the two candidates in the "democratic" election that we are allowed to vote for is worse. But, you are not forced to vote for either--that is our very limited freedom!

• André Vltchek Remembered by Peter Koenig and Andre, friend by Farooque Chowdhury from Internationalist 360°. My reaction: Another fine human being lost in the battle of human survival against the forces of capitalism which can only support the interests of a few capitalists. He will not be the last.

• The Pandemic is a Test Run – #PropagandaWatch by Canadian James Corbett from his weblog. (I do not endorse this post.) My commentary follows (or here are the reasons why I don't endorse this post.):

Unfortunately, Corbett pans the overwhelming evidence provided by independent scientists that we have already "baked-in" sufficient greenhouse gases in the planet's upper atmosphere and the oceans to insure dramatic changes in the climate such that planet Earth will no longer be able to sustain human and many other species. In short, we, humans--an "exceptional" species, will disappear (along with most others).

He does so for two basic reasons: 1) because he is an anarchist produced by the indoctrination-loaded educational system throughout the capitalist Empire to ensure that their graduates are not "contaminated" with any anti-capitalist ideas; and 2) because he refuses to recognize the unthinkable--that we humans depend on a rather unique environment which does not appear on nearly all other planets. He refuses to accept scientific evidence that in the future the conditions of the planet Earth will be dramatically altered because of capitalism's incessant search for profits, and that they have loaded our atmosphere, oceans, and other places on the planet with greenhouse gases. 

Thus, Corbett fails to recognize the reasons why their latest "Reset" project is their attempt to cope with this very real concern, along with many other problems facing the capitalist Empire. He refuses to accept scientific evidence that in the future the conditions of the planet Earth will dramatically change because of capitalism's incessant packing of our atmosphere, oceans, and other places on the planet with greenhouse gases. He doesn't distinguish independent scientists from scientists employed by capitalist industries and from government bureaucrats, employed by the ruling class, posing as authorities. He refuses to recognize that the system is the source of not only abrupt climate destabilization, but so many other problems facing humans. Finally, Corbett fails to recognize the reasons why the Empire's latest "Reset" project is their attempt to cope with this very real concern, along with many other problems facing the capitalist Empire.

• Throw Sand In The Gears Of The Machine by Caitlin Johnstone (an Australian) from her weblog.

Humanity [human species] will continue along its self-destructive trajectory until the masses use the power of their numbers to force real change. Humanity will not use the power of its numbers to force real change as long as it’s being successfully propagandized not to do so. The oligarchic propaganda machine is therefore the primary barrier to our transition from our self-destructive patterns into a healthy collaborative relationship with each other and with our ecosystem. 

So throw sand in the gears of the machine. If enough of us throw enough sand, we can cause the whole thing to break down.   

And she continues on to give her advice on how we should "throw sand in the gears" of what she identifies as the "oligarchic propaganda machine".

• Massive money laundering | Top banks accused of playing part in movement of $2 trillion from RT (via YouTube). My reaction: Could it be that our masters in the ruling capitalist class are criminals just as drug traffickers and (their) terrorists are?

• There’s a Pattern of Corporate Media Censoring News About Wall Street Banks’ Crimes by Pam and Russ Martens from their weblog Wall Street on Parade.
  

• Merciless virus | Poor hit hardest by the COVID pandemic from RT (via YouTube). My reaction: Could it be that our masters in the ruling capitalist class are engaging in class warfare as they have done in the past several hundred years? If you believe that they care about your health, that is, if you are a "useless eater", and, if you are not one of their "essential workers" or highly trained and rewarded technical and professional workers and don't contribute to the power and wealth of the ruling class of major capitalists (often deceptively referred to by social-democrats as simply "billionaires"), I have several fine bridges to sell you.

• Belarusian President Lukashenko Says IMF Offered A Billion USD Bribe to Impose Covid-19 Lockdown by Joaquin Flores from FRN (Fort Russ News which is based in Serbia). My reaction: "This fact can be verified using most search engines." I did this and am satisfied that the report is factual: see this, this, and this. This report is another illustration of the use of money to influence how people behave; and in this case, regarding a nation's leader. In many cases, the influence of money applies to politicians who need money to finance their candidacy in government elections, professional people who have careers to protect to support a comfortable lifestyle, and workers who want to protect their jobs that are needed for their, and their families', very survival. Concentrated wealth is promoted under capitalism. The system often leads to decisions that harm most people, but benefit their ruling classes. The system needs to be abolished and substituted for one that promotes egalitarian and thoroughly democratic societies. 

• UK’s MSM has slavishly obeyed the govt over Covid like the docile arm of a despotic state. I know, because I was part of it by Matt Drake from RT. My reaction: Of course the same obedient-like behavior of ordinary people applies to most governments fronted by ruling classes on our planet Earth. I think that this phenomenon is a result of roughly 10,000 years of domination of ruling classes that they have obtained through various forms of violence. This experience has engendered in ordinary people a belief in the superiority of their masters, and that their "superiors" have innate abilities that we ordinary people do not have.  Many of the upper-middle-class, whose support is needed for the current ruling class of capitalists to exist, also are convinced of this through their socialization. Such propaganda is pervasive in class-ridden societies.

• Let’s Give Trump Some Credit—On Labor Day He Threw Down the Gauntlet to the Corrupt Military Brass by Paul Craig Roberts from his weblog. My reaction: What he, who is intensely loyal to capitalism, fails to recognize is that the system of capitalism inevitably produces the use of money to influence decisions.

• No, the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally Didn’t Spawn 250,000 Coronavirus Cases by Elizabeth Nolan Brown from Anti-Empire. (Note: Also see this report.) My reaction: I've recently been to Sioux Falls, South Dakota and discovered their small businesses are thriving--unfortunately their workers enjoy near minimum wages--and their economy is too, to the extent possible for small business enterprises. Such propaganda, laughable or not, is believed by many of those who follow media controlled by the ruling capitalist class.

• Flu is killing more people than Covid19, and has been for months by Kit Knightly from Off-Guardian. 

• DHS Head Chad Wolf Adopts Language of War in Threats Against Portland Protesters by Alan Macleod from Mint Press News. My reaction: Whenever the ruling class is threatened, they respond by the use of force whether Constitutional or not.

• Allegiant Stadium In Vegas to Be America’s First Pro Sports Venue to Open Cashless (from 0:00m to 7:25m) from The Corbett Report. My reaction: This happening, the promotion of digital money, is another benefit, among a number of other benefits to the ruling class derived from their engineered "pandemic crisis".

• Politics and Violence Go Hand in Hand by Thomas Knapp from CounterPunch. My commentary follows:

This article touches more on true wisdom than it appears. But it only touches the surface. There is a whole lot more beneath the surface that I would like draw your attention to. It is the ultimate question on how we humans should live. Unfortunately for our species, we are just cognizant enough to realize that our individual existence is only temporary. But this insight is an unacceptable truth which becomes an ultimate evil.  This realization has caused humans to neurotically believe in delusions: an after-life and an obsession with acquiring power, and especially power over other humans.

You see, we humans think that we are unlike other species which are doomed to only a temporary existence. Most religions teach us that there is some sort of an afterlife. Also we frequently believe that other species exist in order to serve our needs. We humans have long held belief systems, or religions, that put our species at the center of the universe. But religion is only one method to overcome this dreadful consciousness. Domination of other humans has become a major means to ward off this unthinkable fate. Thus, our human history has been marred by attempts to use violence to coerce others to serve our needs. Only recently we have become aware that we humans are only a tiny part of the web of life on our planet Earth; and while we search the universe for other life forms, we haven't yet found any. 

It is apparent that a major part of our existence is in families and clans, and down through the ages we humans have used this organic structure to impose power over other families and clans, and this often has taken some form of violence: outright physical violence, the threat of such violence, and/or the deprivation of the material means of existence such as denying them access to water, food, shelter, jobs, etc. 

Our species' history has produced various systems to socialize entire societies, along with the assistance of religious authorities, to inculcate beliefs among populations that their system was divinely sanctioned, and of course it is the best and only system possible. But people eventually noticed that a certain segments of their societies held more power and material benefits than others. These were designated as ruling classes which consisted of families and clans that used their systems to obtain disproportionate rewards, and sometimes these rewards were extremely disproportionate.  

Human history can be considered as a series of changes of systems, and the latter all have the same characteristics: use of physical force or the threat of such force with a supporting ideology to impose their disproportionate rule on other classes of humans.  Social scientists have identified such systems as rule by military or religious classes; feudalism: rule by those who, or their heirs, of conquered lands; and in our present- day, capitalism. Capitalist families continue to place special value only on families and clans instead of whole societies, but uses a hidden class commitment to capitalism which enables and sustains a ruling class.

Our existing capitalist ruling class continues this sordid history via the private purchase of the economy and awarding the owners of property of nearly unlimited rights. This system uses the denial of life sustenance needs, in addition to the use of violence, mostly directed on those who oppose the system. Capitalists have a built-in tendency to reduce the sustenance needs of workers to a bare minimum, and to deny aid to those who do not contribute to the wealth and power of the capitalist ruling class.  

Currently there is a growing awareness of the unsustainability of capitalism: of the extreme inequality of wealth distribution that is inherent in the capitalist system, the contradictions that are obvious in the capitalist requirement of infinite growth on a finite planet, the lack of awareness by our masters that we humans constitute minuscule part in the web of life on our unique planet Earth. Under capitalism, militaristic ruling classes are currently threatening a nuclear war catastrophe which will end our very existence.

• “Bipartisan” Washington Insiders Reveal Their Plan for Chaos if Trump Wins the Election by investigative journalist Whitney Webb from her website Unlimited Hangout. (Note: A best post.) 

By keeping Americans angry and distracted by the partisan divide through pre-planned election chaos, a “New America” waits in the wings – one that is coming regardless of what happens on election day. That is, of course, unless Americans quickly wake up to the ruse.

My reaction follows:

I am giving this piece of investigative research top billing. I don't always do so because frequently my selection to order important articles follows other criteria--mainly to follow one important article after another to build momentum for a top article. But this well-researched piece explains with solid documentation the apparent current plan to use chaos strategy that I elaborated on in a commentary regarding Tuesday's post entitled "Riots for Neo-Liberalism: ANTIFA & BLM Are the Global Elites’ Useful Thugs". If this plan is followed and if Biden were to lose the November election, who knows where this plan will end?

• Does fighting climate change require postponing the fight for system change? by John Molyneux from Climate & Capitalism. (Note: a best post.) My commentary follows:
  

Long time followers of my website know that I have resigned to the position that the climate crisis is now irreversible. But I and all other animals and species will fight to the death to survive. And, that is what I am doing by continuing this website. 

Guy McPherson, a retired scientist who also believes that the crisis is irreversible, continues living with the notion that "only love remains" by which he means living in the present and deepening the connection with other people in our lives. That is the solution that he and others of the upper-middle-class can have that is not available to those of the working class. The latter face homelessness, despair of loss of loved ones and friends, extreme discomfort, and likely death.

• Has the post-Covid future already been decided? by Simon Marcus from Spiked (Britain). (My reaction: The answer is "yes" because the Davos crowd is the transnational capitalist ruling class of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire. They are the "deciders".)

• People Who Are in Denial About Coronavirus by Eric Zuesse from Strategic Culture Foundation. My commentary follows:
  

Zuesse in this essay reveals his basic support for our class structured society by affirming his commitment to the way the ruling class that is imposing its draconian policies on entire nations. He does this by describing the opposition to be laissez faire or libertarian and the government policies as "socialistic" or "(legally enforced governmental policies)". Then he goes on to cite statistics that have been challenged by skeptics of ruling class policies. Zuesse has no idea what socialism is because he has been trained ("educated") to believe the social-welfare policies in past capitalist societies (like under FDR's administration) were "socialistic". 

The current "pandemic" is beneficial in the sense that it forces people of varying nominal political views to finally affirm their basic commitment to authoritarianism or genuine democracy. The latter position needs some elucidation in this era of authoritarianism or fascism (its capitalist version).  

Democracy, that is, genuine democracy, means that all people have been given access to positions of authority. Authoritarianism means that only some of the people will be "sufficiently knowledgeable" to determine the policies that will be imposed on others. Democracy means that all people will have equal access to education, health, work, and other institutions to support their well-being. Such equal access is counter to the capitalist system which facilitates the concentration of wealth and, therefore, power. The basis of capitalist societies is private ownership of the economy, and is obviously forbidden in socialist societies. Thus, capitalism inevitably results in class structured societies that are riven with class conflicts. History has demonstrated in capitalist societies ownership, and therefore, control of economic property are in the hands of a ruling class which inevitably results in greater and greater concentration of wealth, therefore power, in fewer and fewer hands. This inevitably leads to fascism, that is, government controlled by a tiny ruling class who impose greater and greater authoritarian methods to impose their control over the rest of societies.

The great mass of people have societal values which help to insure policies of equal access to education and free, independent media to inform people. Contrast this with rule by the self-serving capitalist class, the owners of economic property. Their values are constrained by what is good for their families or extended families. (Recall Margaret Thatcher's comment on this.)  

All ruling classes have historically justified their privileged position by self-serving justifications: they are wiser and more educated, therefore they are entitled to rule over the rest of the populations. It is also frequently observed that they justify all of their policies by claiming to be a "democracy". Censorship and propaganda are frequently used to prevent the rest of the population knowing what they are really doing.  

This is all obvious to genuine socialists; but to many supporters of class rule, it is not obvious. They try hard to disguise their political views. In the case of Zuesse and many others, they pretend to be critical of existing society; but "when push comes to shove" (def.), they support capitalist rule and will engage in all sorts of fake arguments to justify their views.

The suffering people can organize themselves and establish their own agenda independent of the ruling class who want to provoke chaos in order to establish a more overt fascism in their backyard. But are the people capable of doing this? It is too soon to determine the outcome. But just because the ruling class, confident in having brainwashed most Americans, has decided to desperately gamble with stirring up the American people, the latter according to Hopkins should resist this desperate move by quietly submitting to their program.)
