• Fauci Declares Himself INFALLIBLE! featuring Jimmy Dore (via his YouTube channel--15:36m) exposing Dr. Fauci, a government bureaucrat in charge of our health, for what he is--sociopathic liar. My reaction: You have to be a "sociopathic liar" to serve the ruling class.
  

• Interview 1648 -- New World Next Week with James Evan Pilato featuring James Corbett and James Evan Pilato discussing the latest news which includes Japan's Olympics, cyber-attacks (and other fake propaganda "Reset" ploys), vaccination stories, etc., and Corbett's inferences based on these reports. 

• 💥The Lie That A Kinder, Gentler US Empire Is Possible by Australian Caitlin Johnstone with her American husband reading the script, which is also provided in the article from her weblog. This is a best post because she defines the core problem.
  

As long as the US is the center of a globe-spanning empire, it will be necessary to keep Americans too poor, too busy and too confused to interfere with the operation of the machine. You cannot allow a critical mass of Americans to have enough money to spend on political campaign donations, to have enough free time to research what’s actually happening in their world, to be sufficiently stress-free to look up and realize that your government is murdering children in their name, and also keep the empire running smoothly. You cannot have an imperialist oligarchy who runs things and also have income and wealth equality. 

 

Johnstone concludes her article with this insightful statement about any effective solution: 

It’s not that you can’t beat the machine, it’s that you can’t beat the machine using the tools the machine has given you. A grassroots effort to wake each other up to reality is a very achievable goal, and once enough eyes are open, anything is possible.

• US in Afghanistan: A War By Any Other Name... by Brian Berletic from his weblog Land Destroyer Report.
  

• The United States Started the Korean War from the YouTube channel of Tales of the American Empire. (Note: This is a short, authentic history of our post-WWII policies toward Asia.) My reaction: This history has been re-written by US historians that were motivated by career aspirations. They could not aspire to a career in academia unless they rewrote history to conform to the empire-building efforts of the cabal that took control in the post-WWII ruling class. This is a rare opportunity for you to recover a small part of the real history. 

• Biden's DHS Attacks Pipeline Protestors featuring Jimmy Dore (via his YouTube channel--7:31m) to reveal a true history of two single, but related, events--the protests that people organized in opposition to the Keystone pipeline in North Dakota and similar protests in northern Minnesota. My reaction: And many of you depend upon reports by media corporations to cover the news!

• Pinkwashing: Why Big Corporations Drape Themselves in Rainbows by Pablo Herón from Left Voice.
  

• A Sinister Agenda Behind California Water Crisis? by F. William Engdahl from New Eastern Outlook. My reaction: Engdahl is one of the geopolitical experts, who are in denial of the climate crisis. He proposes a conspiracy theory which is rooted in government regulatory agencies where there is none. Such experts and most state bureaucrats and politicians view environmental regulations to save threatened species in a destabilizing climate as an "agenda" serving only negligible "special interests". Therefore expect such regulations will be dropped (or not enforced) in order to save us humans. This is only a  short-term solution to our future to the problem of the destabilization of the climate on our planet-Earth. Our masters in the ruling capitalist already know this, but their inherent drive to sustain profits will only accelerate their population reduction agenda known as the Great Reset in order to save themselves and their "beautiful" system of capitalism. The system depends on ever expanding growth on a planet that has finite resources. Something will have to give way. I look for more trouble in our future.

• The World is Changing, But Do the Americans Recognise It by James ONeill from New Eastern Outlook.
  

• Let there be no doubt about it from Extinction Rebellion in Britain (via their YouTube channel--03:53m)
  

• Explained: Quintero and Wiens 2013 featuring Prof. (retired) Guy McPherson, an independent scientist (via his YouTube channel--04:36m) and has fearlessly focused on the climate crisis, examining a research study regarding the adaptability of species to adjust to abrupt climate changes. (Note: This is a key question for our human species: can we adapt to rather dramatic changes in climate that McPherson foresees?)

• Your Guide to The Great Convergence featuring James Corbett from his weblog (1:14:36hr) explaining how and why our masters are promoting "transhumanism" which is the current grand fantasy of our masters in the capitalist ruling class as their Empire project is on a road to decline. This fantasy includes their sub-fantasies that promise "the idea of using technology to overcome sickness, aging, and death." (See my commentary to the second post of The Corbett Report from Monday, June 7.) My reaction: My only criticism is that Corbett (as well as Christian Westbrook of the Ice Age Farmer, etc.) disregards the very realistic threat to all species survival: the dramatic accelerating warming of our planet caused by the compulsive drive of capitalists to enhance profits for their own interests--not ours.
  

• The Unseen Damages Fact Checking Has On Public Discourse by Joe Martino from Collective Evolution. 

• There Is Not One Elected Official at the Federal Reserve, But It Has Been Unilaterally Rewriting the Rules on Wall Street Since 2007 by Pam & Russ Martens from their weblog Wall Street on Parade. 

• G7: Desperately Seeking Relevancy by Pepe Escobar from "The Saker" weblog. (Note: G7 is an economic organization of core capitalist nations that comprise the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire.)
  

• Blinken Props Up Biden in European Charade for New Cold War by Finian Cunningham from Strategic Culture Foundation. 

... sometimes self-interests intrude and the Europeans find the American depiction of the world too much to bear. Hence, there is pushback from the European Union on Biden’s attempts to sabotage the economic partnership between the 27-member bloc and China. There are limits to which the EU will go in damaging the landmark Comprehensive Investment Agreement it signed with Beijing in December.

Likewise, Germany is not tolerating any attempts by the Biden administration to scupper the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline with Russia which will be vital for fuelling German industry. Again, self-interest kicks in to bring mundane common sense into conflict with the American mythology of a Cold War.

• Israel And US Governments Face The Consequences Of Their Arrogance by Robert Inlakesh from The Last American Vagabond. (Note: If you liked this report from Lakesh, you may also like his latest report on Israel's political scene.)

• Earth’s Atmospheric CO2 Soars to Highest Level in 4 Million Years by Brett Wilkins from Common Dreams.

• Science Update: Heat Deaths Due to Climate Change featuring Prof. (retired) Guy McPherson, an independent scientist (via his YouTube channel--06:00m), who has focused on the climate crisis, fearlessly listing scientific articles that indicate the growing probability of extinction of humans and most other species that have evolved on planet Earth.

• Covid, Cybernetics, And The New Normal by "anonymous" from Wrench in the Gears.
  

This is a guest post written by a humanities teacher and freelance writer who holds a masters degree from the School of African and Oriental Studies, a public research university in London. It lays out over fifty concerns regarding pandemic policy implementation and plans for a cybernetic future, full spectrum dominance of life on the planet by defense, bio-tech, and finance interests. I’m glad to be able to share my platform so this detailed analysis can be more widely distributed.

• James Corbett Presents to the Corona Investigative Committee​ featuring James Corbett being interviewed by Reiner Fuellmich of the Corona Investigative Committee (based in Germany) about Corbett's investigation into the corona crisis and the future of humanity.​ My commentary follows:
   
  Early in the interview (02:45m) Fuellmich asks a very profound question: "What drives them? I mean they have enough money." The answer furnished by Corbett can be condensed in one sentence: The transnational capitalist ruling class of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire have bought into the assumption that humans are an exceptional species. Because they have long discovered that wealth brings power in its wake, they have pursued the accumulation of wealth. Now that they have so much wealth (besides the fact that power/control is addictive), the Empire's ruling class fantasize about a corollary of wealth/power: they must overcome death to prove the validity of their assumption.
   
  They recently embraced the high technology of digitization of everything (the "Great Reset") in order to realize their fantasies.
  
   
  But doubts are creeping into their mad-power-complex, and most notably from the Russia-China-Iran combination which threatens not only their Empire, but also the pursuit of their assumption. Too bad for us, the rest of humanity, this mad pursuit threatens the survivability of our species ... and most others. 

• Gaming Our Lives: Pay for Success Finance. Bonnie Faulkner, of Guns + Butter, interviews (nearly an hour) Alison McDowell who has been described by others as a mom, an independent researcher, and activist.

• 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.

• Lockdowns Need to Be Intellectually Discredited Once and For All by Ethan Yang from American Institute for Economic Research. 

• 💥The Cover-Up Continues: The Truth About Bill Gates, Microsoft, and Jeffrey Epstein by Whitney Webb from her weblog Unlimited Hangout.  This is a best post because it is an excellent example of independent investigative journalism.
  

• Transcript – Guns and Butter Interview with Bonnie Faulkner March 8, 2021 [posted on 5/18/21] from Wrench in Gears. (Note: Notice the link to the actual interview broadcast on WBAI in New York. Also, during the interview Faulkner asks a key question after she introduces the question: "I was taught that one of the main [characteristics of] capitalism is that it must grow or expand. You have written that 'in order for capitalism to continue on a beautiful planet of finite resources, the plan is to shift growth to digital realms' which is what you’ve been discussing. How is virtual capitalism going to piggyback on real-world capitalism?") [my insertion]

• Biden Doesn’t Want Rules and Order Everywhere by Brian Cloughley from Strategic Culture Foundation. 

Rejection of a resolution calling for “respect for international humanitarian law” is not consistent with Washington’s intention to abide by the “rules-based international order” which is apparently the solution to all the world’s problems — providing the rules are not applied to Israel.

• CrossTalk: Heavy hand of tech from RT's channel of YouTube (24:28m).

Has Big Tech poisoned our politics or has it merely revealed deep social and political divisions? With each passing day making that determination becomes more and more difficult. Those who have the power to control our social interactions define what we understand to be reality. This is simply tyrannical.

CrossTalking with Ron Placone and Suzie Dawson.

 

My reaction: Of course Big Tech is controlled by the ruling capitalist class! It is another weapon in their vast arsenal that is aimed at all those that are not on board with the agendas and the interests of the ruling class.

• The Nazi Past of US Geopolitics by Thomas Klikauer and Norman Simms from CounterPunch. My commentary follows: 

This short history does not reveal the history of collusion by the Western capitalist ruling classes with German Nazis to crush the anti-capitalist Soviet Union and to rid the world of any kind of socialism that threatens the rule of capitalists. After WWII this history of their past collusion with Nazis has been rewritten to eliminate nearly all references to true history. This was especially true of most giant corporations like the Ford Company, IT&T, General Motors, etc. who kept their German industries running throughout WWII. 

 

Early in the war, conspirators, mostly in the State Department, saw the opportunity to construct another empire out of the remnants of the former British Empire with the intact industry and powerful military forces of the USA. (This was all laid out in earlier posts: here, here, and here.) But present generations know none of this history because it has been scrubbed from history books by historians appointed by the governors of their new empire, the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire (Israel and the right-wing power of Zionist finance were added later).

 

Today we see the current reactionary forces at work in the Empire's capitalist ruling classes to rid themselves of the burden of supporting poor people by eliminating "useless eaters" to lessen the threat climate destabilization confronting them so they can resume business as usual. Like I wrote in a commentary on 2/7/2021:

 

... this is a dangerous thought. Imagine that our masters in the ruling class have in their deluded thinking reached a conclusion that in order to save themselves [as their capitalist system] they must get rid of us untermenschen? They might in this belief decide that we ordinary humans are "useless eaters" and expendable, or worse yet like "communists" or anti-capitalists--class enemies, and kill us all in order to save themselves from the climate crisis, which they have caused, and they know is coming sooner or later. Perhaps the Great Reset is one such delusion. [my present insertion]

 

Our masters are presently busy trying to eliminate labor laws that guarantee workers' rights using the excuse of protecting the health of workers based on recommendations from CDC and OSHA, and the incessant propaganda about their contrived "pandemic". They are busy creating a two-tier society in which "good Germans" are extended all kinds of privileges based on their good behavior and the rest of us are denied travel and access to many services.

• Greetings from “New Normal” Germany! by CJ Hopkins. an American playwright and political satirist, who currently lives in Germany. He is mostly serious in this post, and describes the current living conditions of the German "new normal"  which is currently threatening to come to the USA.
  

Last week, here in “New Normal” Germany, the government (which, it goes without saying, bears no resemblance to the Nazi regime, or any other totalitarian regime) implemented a social-segregation system that bans anyone who refuses to publicly conform to the official “New Normal” ideology from participating in German society. From now on, only those who have an official “vaccination pass” or proof of a negative PCR test are allowed to sit down and eat at restaurants, shop at “non-essential” stores, or go to bars, or the cinema, or wherever.

• Wearable “Solutions” and the Internet of Incarceration by Jeremy Loffredo from Unlimited Hangout. My reaction: As technology, controlled by capitalists, discover more and more methods of population control and tracking you, you can expect that the methods will be designed for the greater panopticon (under the "Great Reset") to ensure the ruling class's access to profit and power. Of course, technology is neutral, but the way it is used can give the ruling billionaire class more power and control over you while amassing wealth for themselves. Everything about the capitalist system impels them to use technology in this way. Or it can be used to enhance and protect your health and welfare. Which do you see it used for under the current system?

• 💥Propaganda and the Media — Part 3 – Establishing and Controlling the Narrative by Larry Romanoff from "The Saker Blog". This is a best post. The article represents a sophisticated exposure of the concentration of ownership (and wealth) occurring since WWII that has shaped mainstream news that most Americans follow. Because the latter have not been conscious of this concentration of wealth (mainstream media have long hidden information related to this fact), they have been so filled with propaganda that has served the wealthy instead of serving their own interests.

I stated earlier that the US media function as the microphone of the US State Department, full partners in scripting propaganda campaigns to achieve foreign policy objectives. But it is crucial to understand that the Americans are not leading these international geo-political, social, and moral assaults. They are merely functioning as the Bankers’ Private Army to accomplish the objectives of a group of European-UK elites who are always in the shadows and led by one who ... is “he who must not be named”.

 

I have described the slow and deliberate rise of fascist-capitalists and a summary of their efforts to groom the American population for their project to construct the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire since WWII.

• Serbian WWII Film Smeared by War Propagandists in Western Media by Max Parry from The Unz Review.

• Peasant mobilizations against backdrop of agrarian crisis by Sushovan Dhar from International Viewpoint. (Note: I need to magnify the text in order to read it, but if that doesn't help, you can read the article in its secondary source from CDTM.) My reaction: This is profoundly relevant for people who want to become informed about the farmer's massive protests against the government of India and their recent agricultural "reforms". Otherwise this post may interest you because it seems that the transnational capitalist frequently tests out their self-serving plans in foreign countries before they implement them here in the USA, the center of the reality of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire.

The Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act allows farmers to sell their products outside the mandis (markets) of the Agricultural Produce Market Committee (APMC) without paying taxes. The Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Act allows farmers to sell their future products to agri-food companies at a predetermined price, and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act eases the centre’s control over the production and sale of agricultural products.

The Indian government wants us to believe that these laws are a decisive moment for Indian agriculture because they free farmers from the influence of intermediaries. But farmers’ organizations see it as a measure that increases the level of participation of private companies. There are two concerns about the laws. First, their content is seen as a threat to small and marginal farmers. Second, the haste with which they were passed in parliament is seen as a threat by states and regional parties. Let’s examine why the laws have met with strong opposition from farmers’ associations, opposition political parties and state governments ....

How about considering real democracy? This would require a wholly novel plan rather than simply reciting a self-congratulatory word without substance upon examination.

Democracy is for psychologically mature adults. Citizen responsibility for self-governance must involve knowledge acquisition, sober reflection, evidence examination and reasoned discussion built into everyday public life. It must require sound collective judgment and moral responsibility for all local, regional and national decisions. To create a grown-up nation retrieved from the grip of ruling-class psychopaths who have long disempowered, neglected, exploited and abused us along with much of the world, we must mature into political grown-ups.

And also, you may be interested in this post entitled "Hillary Clinton's War Monger Appointed By Biden".

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.)

• This Biden Proposal Could Make the US a “Digital Dictatorship” by Whitney Webb from her weblog Unlimited Hangout. (Note: A caption summarizing the article reads this: "A 'new' proposal by the Biden administration to create a health-focused federal agency modeled after DARPA is not what it appears to be. Promoted as a way to 'end cancer' this resuscitated “health DARPA” conceals a dangerous agenda.")

• 💥Humanity Does Not Need Bill Gates by Rob Larson & Nathan J. Robinson from Current Affairs. This is a best post. My commentary follows: 

This is a comprehensive and lengthy article on one citizen's efforts to become rich and powerful (influential) under the capitalist system. He is now, arguably in control of the UN's World Health Organization as their top funder. This tells the fascinating story of how to become rich in capitalist USA and become a part of the Empire's ruling class. Here are a few excerpts from the lengthy article:

 

Gates’ ethic was never a collaborative, social one in which a community worked together to improve a collective asset. It was not the mindset of the scientist seeking knowledge. Instead it was antisocial and competitive—the mindset of the capitalist. 

 

But, you say, he deserves accolades, at least a pass, with what he has done in his philanthropy work. The authors write:

 

Well, it’s worth observing that the Foundation operates with what is effectively a large public subsidy. Tim Schwab of the Nation—whose name will recur, since he has produced some [of] the best critical journalism on Gates and the Foundation—says that money is exempt from tax because it belongs to a charity, and has to be seen as “money that otherwise would have gone to the US Treasury to help build bridges, do medical research, or close the funding gap at the IRS (which has resulted in fewer audits of billionaires).” As law professor Ray Madoff said to Schwab: “when they get significant tax benefits, it’s also our money.” 

 

The authors sum up their article with these words:

 

... he is part of a small class of elites who are able to bypass democracy, and does embody many aspects of contemporary society that need to change. The decision of individual billionaires to be useful is better than pure self-regard, but ultimately billionaires should not exist in the first place. Bill Gates is richer than 140 different countries. This is too much concentrated wealth and power and it makes a farce of democracy. The question of how the huge resources of the modern world are used to meet our broad social needs should be decided on democratically, not by the whim of a rich person.

Let Gates jet off into the sunset.

• 💥Glenn Greenwald & Richard Medhurst featuring Greenwald, candidly explaining, to his host Medhurst using Rokfin (to avoid censorship), how he has grown-up politically through his experiences with US journalism, his experience with Edward Snowden, his more recent experience while living in Brazil, and his following reports regarding Wikileaks and Julian Assange. As a result of these experiences, he views journalism as practiced by media corporations as serving "intelligence" services and their employers in the Deep State, the directorate of the ruling capitalist class. He even comments how the Deep State uses "woke" ideology as a weapon. This is a best post. (Note: It is apparent that alternative platforms to YouTube have not thoroughly mastered YouTube technology. The interview starts at about 18:06m and lasts till 125:06m, thus the entire interview lasts about one hour and seven minutes. But, it is well worth listening to the interview!)
  

• 💥Intersectional Torturers from the weblog of Australian Caitlin Johnstone who provides us with an audio and written version. This is a best post. My reaction: This article points to an amoral CIA and its fake use of identity politics ("woke"--def.) to manipulate ordinary Americans to strengthen support for the US capitalist ruling class. 

• Cracks in Northern Ireland? by Kenneth Surin from CounterPunch. (Note: I hesitated to include this article because most Americans are not interested in news and analysis of foreign countries. However I believe Surin's analysis is correct, and Brexit's impact might not be limited to Irish politics. This could be further evidence of the unraveling of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire which includes wavering, critically important Europe.)

• 💥On The Pandemic | “The Illusion Of Evidence Based Medicine”, a 41:42m video produced by Journeyman Pictures posted on EarthNewspaper. This is a best post. (Note: I listed this as a "best post" after I viewed it in full at 4:45 PM CT on 5/3/2021.)
  

• Killing Democracy Once and for All: The Global Elite’s Coup d’Etat that Is Destroying Life as We Know It by Robert J. Burrowes from Global Research.

• The Myth of Authority by Darren Allen from Off-Guardian (based in Britain).
  

• Biggest Cover-Up Since Iraq Exposed by Journalist Aaron Maté and featuring Jimmy Dore,  exposing the lies related to the coverup of the official OPCW investigation of chemical weapons used by the Syrian government against their own people. (Note: Aaron Maté has especially devoted lot of work in uncovering this major censorship story. Read this, this, and this for starters, only a part of which I posted many articles on my website.) My reaction: the concentration of ownership of corporations of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire has gone on so long that the CIA and other secretive "intelligence" agencies have over the past 75 years completely turned US, other foreign media corporations, and even some UN agencies toward serving the agenda of world conquest by the Empire. This is understandable when you've seen Bill Gates, as a top funder of the UN's World Health Organization (notice how this is reported in US media corporations--often their reporting is only listed by governments.), overwhelmingly adopt measures advocated by Gates with the latter billionaire influencing the coverage of international media corporations.

• Archegos Unpacked: Equity Derivative Contracts Held by Federally-Insured Banks Have Exploded from $737 Billion to $4.197 Trillion Since the Crash of 2008 by Pam & Russ Martens from their weblog Wall Street on Parade. 

• 💥Brave New Cancel Culture World by Pepe Escobar from "The Saker" weblog. This is a best post. (Note: You should be familiar with the terms "woke revolution" (see this and this) and "cancel culture" (see this and this).) My reaction: I commonly consider the first term as meaning "to wrap yourself in virtue" which implies a fake ethical position, and a corollary of that is "cancel culture" which is used to mean that you don't have to listen to anybody if they offend you, and in order to justify censorship or the allegation of "fake news). The ruling class uses the latter term to shame those they consider "anti-vaxxers", to justify the denial for such people to access to private and public services, and to censor opinions that differ from what the ruling class approves. I consider both terms to be useful for the ruling class to justify their policies of self-serving virtue and intolerance of those opposing their diktats (def.).
  

• TV Review: The Class Struggle at Superstore by Eric Dirnbach from Labor Notes. (Note: This is a review of a TV series ("Superstore") that has recently ended.)
  

• Xinjiang shakedown: US anti-China lobby cashed in on ‘forced labor’ campaign that cost Uyghur workers their jobs by Max Blumenthal from The Grayzone. My reaction: This exposes US State Department's policy of "human rights", used to justify anti-China actions relating to the Uyghurs, for what it is--fakery.

• [Late post] Identifying Post-Vaccination Complications & Their Causes by Dain Pascocello from America's Frontline Doctors. (Note: I had a hard-time accessing this article on my computer. But thanks to an activist who sent me a link. This is not the first time that internet companies have prevented or made access difficult to legitimate websites citing "medical disinformation".)

• [Late post] CNN's New "Reporter," Natasha Bertrand, is a Deranged Conspiracy Theorist and Scandal-Plagued CIA Propagandist by Glenn Greenwald from his weblog at Substack.

The most important axiom for understanding how the U.S. corporate media functions is that there is never accountability for those who serve as propagandists for the U.S. security state. The opposite is true: the more aggressively and recklessly you spread CIA narratives or pro-war manipulation, the more rewarded you will be in that world.

 

That is why sociopaths perform so well for their masters--people like Jeffrey Epstein and his pals in the ruling class. They follow the Margaret Thatcher amoral principle, you know, "there is no such thing as society, there are only individuals and their families". That is why they had to kill Epstein. That is why drug corporations are making billions of dollars off vaccines which they cannot be sued due to any damages or deaths. 

• The Day The World Ended by Caitlin Johnstone, an Australian independent blogger from her weblog. My reaction: I often imagine this event.

• The WEF’s Great Reset: Euphemism for a WWIII Scenario? by Peter Koenig from Dissident Voice.
  

• ACLU Again Cowardly Abstains From an Online Censorship Controversy: This Time Over BLM by Glenn Greenwald from his weblog at Substack.

• A Tightening Circle of Replacement Politics by Alastair Crooke from Strategic Culture Foundation. (Note: You will need to know what "Fifth-generation warfare" means.) My reaction: Crooke describes the directors of the ruling class as inconsistent in their pursuance of policies. It could be an expression of desperation or a designed "replacement politics" to further manipulate ordinary Americans? Who knows? But if I were a betting man, I would place my money on the latter. The directors of the ruling capitalist class, who really run our government, have long been practicing 5th generation war on ordinary Americans, and out of habit they are doing it again--but at an accelerated pace wrapping themselves in virtue: adopting minority causes and "cancelling culture" of their adversaries. But it's all fakery!

• 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.).

• 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.

• 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.

• Perspectives on the Pandemic: “The pharmaceutical industry is manufacturing all these medical journal articles, behind the scenes, for marketing purposes.” from Off-Guardian.

• The Legitimacy of the WHO as a Gold Standard of Health is Dubious. Analysis and Review by Dr. Gary Null and Richard Gale from Global Research (based in Canada). 

• 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.

• 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.

My reaction: The two posts (this and the above) have been covered in past years by this weblog, but the American people still don't get it. It's probably a case of "better late than never". However if we fully realized such views back in the 1970s, we might still be looking at a future.
