• British Medical Journal Editor Argues “Medical-Political Complex” is Corrupt & Suppressing Science by Arjun Walia from Collective Evolution. 

• ‘We Will Get Through This’ — How to Resist Governments’ COVID Vaccine Campaigns from Children's Health Defense.
  

• The SPARS Pandemic of 2025: Echo Chambers and Vaccine Opposition by Derrick Broze from The Last American Vagabond.  (Note: The author provides us with examples of actual "games" that our ruling class run to anticipate problems, and solutions to these problems. One example: "In 2017, the Johns Hopkins Center of Health Security ran a simulation of a coronavirus pandemic known as SPARS. What can we learn from this exercise?")

• 'Totalitarian state' | Should govts mandate COVID vaccinations? [DEBATE] from the RT channel on YouTube. 

• The Next Crisis? from Computing Forever channel on YouTube. (Note: I don't want to spread awful rumors, but our masters in the transnational capitalist Deep State are already talking about another crisis.)

• The Ongoing Death of Free Speech: Prominent ACLU Lawyer Cheers Suppression of a New Book by Glenn Greenwald from Substack.
  

• The Google Archipelago by Jimmie Moglia from "The Saker blog". My reaction: I regard the author's statement that "Zionist “elder brothers in the Abrahamic faith” own and control 90% or thereabouts of all communication media, printed, Hollywood, academia, radio-TV and Internet." as questionable, and he doesn't provide any documentation for it. It seems to me that transnational capitalists are "equal opportunity employers".
  

• United Nations Announces Biometric Digital ID Wallet by Spiro Skouras from Whiskey Tango Texas. (Notes: The author uses the UN's actual implementation ID model as a hint for things to come under the Great Reset project which he anticipates is a part of the project that our unelected capitalist masters ("stakeholders") plan for us. Of course, they present it as a cure-all for the many problems currently facing humans.)

• Pfizer’s Experimental Covid-19 Vaccine—What You’re Not Being Told by Johnny Vedmore from Unlimited Hangout.
  

• Beyond COVID-19: the Power Struggle Over Alternatives for Health Care Reform by John P. Geyman from CounterPunch. (My reaction: And then the ruling class pretends to care about our health!)

Corporatization, privatization, a shift from not-for-profit to for-profit health care, and the growth of investor-owned corporate health care have been dominant themes in the transformation of U. S. health care since the 1980s. We have seen a 3,000 percent growth in the numbers of administrators and managers [with their focus on profit] compared to a minimal growth in the numbers of physicians. [My insertion]

• Crisis, What Crisis? Hypocrisy and Public Health in the UK by Rosemary Mason & Colin Todhunter from Off-Guardian.

Since that time, we have seen lockdowns, an ongoing government-backed fear campaign, fundamental rights being stripped away, dissent censored, inflated COVID-19 death numbers and the use of a flawed PCR test to label perfectly healthy individuals as COVID-19 ‘cases’ in order to fit the narrative of a ‘second wave’. 

But, just for a moment, consider an alternative scenario… 

The government is extremely worried about a substance that could be contributing to a spiraling public health crisis that has been decades in the making. It has been detected in food and in urine. The government has therefore decided to carry out mass urine testing. It has found millions of ‘cases’. ....

But the government does nothing. It does not just do nothing but actively facilitates the marketing of this substance and collude with its manufacturers.  [Sorry for the inconsistent formatting.]

And the name of this ‘stuff’? Glyphosate, the world’s most widely used herbicide. The main culprit – Monsanto’s Roundup. But it is not just glyphosate. It is the cocktail of agricultural chemicals that have been in use for decades.

• The crisis triggered by the pandemic and the economic policy of the European Union by Daniel Albarracín from CADTM (Committee for the Abolition of Illegitimate Debt).

The Covid-19 pandemic has overwhelmed our species due to its impact on public health, but even more because of the depth of the economic depression it has unleashed, causing a social and employment disaster which plunges us into uncertainty.

The European Deep State follows the lead of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire, of which they are an integral part. The author provides an illustration of an informal theme frequently used by the directors of the Empire first identified by journalist Vanessa Beeley that was going in Syria: problem, reaction, and solution. Currently they have initiated the problem (as yet unproven, but likely) of the covid-19 pandemic which adversely impacts public health and the economies of nations of the world, then their media corporations hype the threat which caused widespread fear, and finally, they offer solutions: highly profitable (for them) vaccines and the rest of the Great Reset package: digital money and authoritarian decisions (more censorship and surveillance) by major tech corporations. All of these programs are designed to enhance the profits and power of the transnational capitalist ruling classes in Europe, and offer the transnational capitalist class's solution to the climate crisis by depopulating "useless eaters" (people who don't contribute to the power and profits of the Empire and their corporations).

The design of the European Union, despite the propaganda and its founding myths, is not conceived to protect its citizens in general, let alone its working classes. Its cornerstones are the defence of the freedom of movement of capital and goods and, when and as appropriate, the mobility of people within its borders, to achieve more profitability and competitiveness for its companies. The aspects of cohesion it may contain do not counteracting [sic] this priority.

• The Secret Agenda of the World Bank and IMF by Peter Koenig from New Eastern Outlook.
  

• Rapper Lord Jamar: 'George Soros Controls Black Lives Matter - It's NOT Our Movement' by Jay Greenberg from Neon Nettle featuring a video interview with rapper Lord Jamar. (My reaction: I know I'm getting past my expiry date when website authors refer to "leftists" as supporting the ruling class. It is an illustration of the shifting political spectrum here in the USA.)

• The Global Capitalist Cage and the Corona Crisis: “Solutions” by Those Who Have Created “The Problems” by Hiroyuki Hamada from Global Research. (Note: I don't know how I missed this article in October, but I claim it as a "best post" currently. He offers profound insights that can awaken people to the profound influence that a ruling class, particularly the current capitalist ruling class, has upon people's thinking and perceptions of reality. It is rather lengthy, but very much worth your attention.)

• Cost of Lockdowns: A Preliminary Report from American Institute for Economic Research. 

• Inside the longest lockdown in the world: Poverty and inadequate healthcare in South America makes shutting down society unworkable by Luke Taylor from Unherd (based in Britain). My reaction: This is precisely why the Empire's ruling class with their covid pandemic project targeted these nations, other poor countries, and poor people in general as a method to deal with the climate crisis.
  

• I Am Greta isn’t about climate change. It’s about the elusiveness of sanity in an insane world by Jonathan Cook from his weblog.

In the mid-1950s, his book The Sane Society [by Erich Fromm] suggested that insanity referred not simply to the failure by specific individuals to adapt to the society they lived in. Rather, society itself could become so pathological, so detached from a normative way of life, that it induced a deep-seated alienation and a form of collective insanity among its members. In modern western societies, where automation and mass consumption betray basic human needs, insanity might not be an aberration but the norm. [my insertion]

• “All Speech Is Not Equal”: Biden Taps Anti-Free Speech Figure For Transition Lead On Media Agency by Jonathan Turley from his weblog.

• Why the military establishment backed Biden by Chloe Rafferty from Red Flag (based in Seattle). (My reaction: I disagree with only her last statements "And Joe Biden is the commander-in-chief. He is now the most dangerous man in the world." He shows early signs of dementia, and his usefulness to the ruling class has expired. He is only a virtual puppet of the ruling class, but then there is Kamala Harris to takeover.)
  

• UN Announces Biometric Digital ID Wallet featuring Spiro Skouras from his channel on YouTube warning about what's coming under the Great Reset project. My reaction: Apparently the control freaks of the transnational (neoliberal) capitalist ruling class of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire have decided to use their control of the United Nations to implement their plans of the Great Reset. If they succeed, we will be really in "deep shit" (def.).
  

• Our House: Why China’s New South Asian Trade Deal is Making Washington Sweat by Raul Diego from Mint Press News. (My reaction: No wonder that the Empire's transnational capitalist ruling class has been so focused on destabilizing China's Uyghur province, Hong Kong, Thailand, etc.)

• The “Dominion” of Election Fraud?…Exposing the Dominion Voting Machines. By Brett Redmayne-Titley from The Unz Review.

For answers, see this and this.)

• 2020 -TOKYO’s Strange 3rd Wave Lockdown: A Walk-through, AGAIN posted by "Felix Rex" on his YouTube channel. (Note: Think of this as an opportunity to travel to Japan and being led through Tokyo's red light district by "Felix Rex" as a tour guide. Note that he is very careful not to offend YouTube administrators by voicing some of his opinions. One question I have, that I would to put to him, is why he selects this area of Tokyo.) My reaction: I notice from his comments at the end that he is also posting his videos on Bitchute, an alternative to YouTube, which doesn't censor videos. It might be worth a visit to his Bitchute videos. One such recent video I recommend is one entitled "Social Rot of VICTIMHOOD & Microaggression Culture".  

• The Return of Syrian Refugees, A Priority to Whom? by Vladimir Platov from New Eastern Outlook. (Note: This website is based in Russia, but features some international writers. I don't encourage a Russia-gate perspective because I think it is necessary to hear opinions from the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire's adversaries.)
  

• Demand That the UN Command Stop Infringing on Korea’s Sovereignty by Simone Chun from CounterPunch. (My reaction: This article furnishes evidence that the Empire largely controls the United Nations Organization. Based on extensive gathered through my long life, I think the capitalist directors of the Empire have accomplished this feat, and most others, via deception and bribes.)

• All Wars Must End! by Christopher Black from New Eastern Outlook (based in Russia, but international in writers whose articles they publish).

• Social Media as a Weapon by Brian Berletic from his weblog Land Destroyer Report. (Note: Since Berletic "outed" himself recently, having used the pen-name "Tony Cartalucci" previously. He is currently using video clips to address issues, but still providing many references to back up his arguments. He, together with his family, has lived in Thailand for a least 10 years.) My commentary follows:

In this video clip, Berletic reveals how US social media-tech corporations such as Facebook and Twitter have functioned in Thailand and neighboring countries as a weapon to destabilize their governments and shape their policies to bring into alignment with US policies and political interests. 

I've argued many times that the neofascism as practiced by the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire has shaped classic fascism by greatly enhancing the manipulation of information that targeted populations receive. This weapon was first used in WWI, and to the surprise of their propaganda agents, the methods used were astonishingly successful in turning the American public from neutrality to active support for the USA to enter the war. They used propaganda to portray the Germans as diabolical people. After the war, these same techniques were used, and developed, in advertising to motivate consumers to purchase the many products of corporations.

The Nazis also used propaganda to motivate their populations to go to war; but because the science of propaganda was still rudimentary, Nazis mostly relied on force or the threat of force. This is the classic view of Nazism which current Empire propagandists try so hard to differentiate from today's rule. I've tried throughout the more than 10 years of blogging to describe this process. (See this commentary, for example.) But our capitalist masters didn't stop there--they rewrote history, and their concentration of wealth and power of the post-WWII years brought increased control over jobs and careers. Those that didn't subscribe to their agendas were left to dead-end jobs or to starve to death, and those that contributed to their agendas were well remunerated and enjoyed comfortable careers. 

Fascism is predominately the last stage of capitalism, and it depends on methods of control of populations. I argue that it matters not what forms this control takes--whether it is accomplished through the threat of force or control of information or the manipulation of information that a population is permitted to access--it is still fascism. Censorship is increasing exponentially. But our masters have methods beyond the mere access to information: they have used psy-ops to create chaos and fear in their populations which makes it easier for them to impose policies that increase their control over populations. I choose to call these advanced methods "neofascism". To be sure, the directors of the Empire continue to use the threat of violence to ensure a population's compliance when their propaganda techniques fail to work. 

A contemporary writer by the name of Gabriel Rockhill seems to have a real grasp of this neofascism, but he chooses to call it plain fascism. I recommend to you the following posts featuring his articles:

• AOC is WRONG About Biden's Chief Of Staff! featuring Jimmy Dore of the Jimmy Dore Show (via his YouTube channel) sarcastically commenting on the latest Biden appointment as Chief of Staff. (Note: Dore only gets around to AOC's (prominent Democrat Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) Tweet at 8:00m in which she approves of Biden's choice.) My commentary follows: 

The Deep State's (essentially the capitalist board of directors that determine the real policies of our government) choice for president is a sociopath, and it is perfectly understandable that he chooses other sociopaths (also read this) to head the Deep State's government. I think that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has realized that serving the Deep State is a highly advantageous way to advance one's career in government. But, as many others object by saying, they wanted the other fascist gang to control "our" government! I hate to disillusion Trump supporters by revealing that the main ruling class represented by the Deep State never lost control of the government, only its largely titular head. They continued their control of the military, the vast network of "intelligence" organizations, most of Congress, the Supreme Court, and many other institutions similar to their control of media corporations.

• Biden Transition Team Says First Amendment is Flawed Because It Permits “Hate Speech” by Paul Craig Roberts, the renegade Republican who was in the Reagan administration. Posted on his weblog. My reaction: I think we can expect an acceleration of censorship in the Biden administration.

• The Imperative To Achieve National Improved Medicare For All by Margaret Flowers from Dissident Voice. My reaction: I can hardly believe this post!

• Accelerated global warming and stadial cooling events: IPCC oversights regarding future climate trends from Arctic News.

With the concentration of greenhouse gases rising by approximately 47% during the last century and a half, faster than almost any observed rise in the Cenozoic geological record, the term “climate change” refers to an extreme shift in state of the atmosphere-ocean system. The greenhouse gas rise and temperature rise rates are faster than those of the K-T mass extinction, the Paleocene-Eocene extinction and the last glacial termination.

• Hammer and Scorecard: Big Tech’s Drive to End Democracy by Matthew Ehret from The Canadian Patriot. (Note: I noticed that I could not access the article from FRN where I first encountered this article, but I could from Ehret's website The Canadian Patriot. I reported this incident to FRN, and I got a reply that they thought the Deep State has been active again censoring information.) My reaction to the article: I see that many alternative media sites are posting articles challenging the election of Biden/Harris. I have no direct interest in this battle between fascists factions, but hopefully the outcome will result in Americans questioning the election results, and, hopefully, to eventually discover that their much ballyhooed "democracy" is a sham designed to deceive them like many other shams.

• America 2020 The Great PSYOP CRISIS by "Felix Rex" from his channel on Bitchute. My reaction follows: 

He makes the argument--and he is correct--that the overwhelming majority of Americans are ignorant and/or manipulated because of the control by the ruling class of every ideological institution of society. He goes on to argue that the recent election was laced with fraud, and then implies that we should not accept the apparent results of the election, and that we should support the Trump camp in a valid election. It seems to me that the appropriate response would have been the total boycott of the elections because we have been offered a choice between to what resembles old-fashioned fascism or the slicked-up version of neofascism promoted by the Democratic Party (controlled by the capitalist Deep State), that is, essentially between Tweedledum and Tweedledee (def.).

• Are Deceptive Social Engineers Attempting to Infiltrate & Destroy Crowdsource the Truth? by "dadu" from the YouTube channel Crowd Source the Truth 2.

• A Counter-History of Fascism and Liberalism featuring Gabriel Rockhill interviewed by Allen Ruff, an FM radio programmer on WORT-FM station in Madison, Wisconsin. This broadcast was posted on Internationalist 360° because I could not find, in my limited time, the program on WORT-FM Madison that Allen Ruff hosts. (Note: If you want the true history of fascism and the media and educational institution's revised history of it from capitalist countries (but you say, you already know that!), you need to listen to this broadcast which is nearly 53 minutes in length. If you want the accurate history of neo-fascism led by the USA after WWII, you should read my post (while you still can) entitled "Fake leaders and ineffective movements" posted earlier this year.)

And, of course, the people of all these nations that make up the Empire are "enemies" of all their capitalist ruling classes.)
  

• The Mechanical Soul by John Steppling from his weblog. (Note: This is a rather lengthy article, but by one of the most astute writers in the world. Remember, the formulation of algorithms, which control AI (artificial intelligence), are created by employees who answer to the the Deep State of the Empire.)
  

One of the reasons I keep writing about AI is that the entire construct of an artificial intelligence has become both a symbol and metaphor for contemporary thought, and, is part of this ongoing reshaping of human consciousness. 

I admit I am surprised how many people believe in the entire project of AI. Clearly it holds something very appealing that people WANT to believe in. And a key element in this is the idea of predictability. And predicting means controlling. So, in one sense, there is nothing new in this desire to foretell the future.

• The Dystopic Great Reset and the Fight Back: Population Reduction and Hope for the Children of Men by Joaquin Flores from Strategic Culture Foundation. A best post.
  

That we live in a time where the plans of the elite are more openly and more brazenly spelled out, in fiction, in public mythology, in culture, and are manufactured in a way entirely out of the hands of the vast majority of people whose lives will be forever changed, likely for the worse, is hands-down the real catastrophe of our time.

• US Murder Machine Now Under Competent Management by Caitlin Johnstone from her weblog. (My reaction: I have personally witnessed celebratory demonstrations by Biden/Harris supporters.) 

It’s odd, you know. US political leaders are so revered by the media and so normalized on our screens that it’s easy to forget how many children they’ve killed. You see the doddering old man eating ice cream enough times and it becomes difficult to marry him in your mind with the butcher who played a crucial leading role in advancing the Iraq invasion which killed a million people and ushered in an unprecedented new age of military expansionism. 

But the important thing is that he won’t be making rude tweets and bungling coup attempts in the Global South. He will be a Competent Grown-Up, like the daddy we always wanted. He will pilot the insatiable death machine with grace and decency, right into the homes of the world’s most vulnerable.

• Joe Biden’s Coronavirus Task Force Is a Rockefeller, Council on Foreign Relations, Gates Foundation Swamp by Derrick Broze from The Last American Vagabond.
  

• Validity of key studies on origin of coronavirus in doubt; science journals investigating by Carey Gillam from U.S. Right to Know. My commentary follows: 

My personal position is that I think that the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 causing covid-19 illness is a mild and highly contagious disease that was likely created in a US lab, but used by the capitalist transnational ruling class of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire as a prime population reduction method because of their losing battle with global warming. Other benefits include: 1) to enrich the Empire's ruling class by providing them with investments in major pharmaceutical corporations and mandating or urging vaccines; 2) as a means, after their corruption of WHO, UN's World Health Organization, to provide an excuse or cover to extend control over the populations of the Empire. 

I can't prove these propositions yet, but it takes time to unravel the deceits of the transnational capitalist class and all of their psychological operations, and I won't be here (because of advanced age) when this finally happens. I have had considerable experience with these deceptive operations throughout my long lifetime (the Vietnam War, assassinations, War on Drugs, 9/11, War on Terrorism, all the "color revolutions" or subversive efforts to overturn and consolidate their control over nations of the world, etc.), and I am convinced that this pandemic is highly exaggerated by media corporations to serve the various interests (outlined above) of  the Empire's transnational ruling class.

To be sure, covid-19 illness is real, but they engineered this "crisis" by creating a highly contagious, but mild virus and used global media corporations to spread fear of this disease. This pandemic has been blown out of all proportion to the mild threat posed for most populations in rich nations, but the shutting down of economies is devastating for poorer people ("deplorables") and likewise with poorer nations with inadequate health systems. Government authorities, under the control of the Empire's ruling class, interfered with constructive medical efforts to control it. If you think that these criminals are seriously interested in protecting your health and that of the world's populations, I have several bridges to sell you (def.)

• How the Dictators in ‘Democracies’ Stay in Power by Eric Zuesse from Strategic Culture Foundation. (Note: In most countries of the world major capitalist countries that pretend to be democracies are recognized to be governed by the capitalist class who pursue their interests of profit and power.

• The Strange Demise of The American Herald Tribune by Philip Giraldi from The Unz Review. My reaction: Giraldi argues, in contrast to Zuesse, that the internet (web) is increasingly affected by the ruling class--which is, indeed, true. The capitalist ruling class will always try to take control of every social institution as they have the economy. The internet is the last. However, one can still find real discussion of real issues from the web in contrast to broadcasts by media corporations. But the gap is closing rather quickly.

• Biden Will Have The Most Diverse, Intersectional Cabinet Of Mass Murderers Ever Assembled by Australian Caitlin Johnstone from her weblog.

• The Deep State vs the Deep Country by "The Saker" (Andrei Raevsky) from "The Saker" weblog. My reaction: The author's final paragraph is a summary of the article:

A quick look at a map tells the story: this struggle is most one of the deep state vs the deep (real) country. Yeah, I know, Trump is hardly a miner from West Virginia or a farmer in Alabama. But that doesn’t matter one bit. What does matter is that the deplorables from the “overfly country” felt that Trump speaks for them and that he is all that stands between them and the (pseudo-) Liberals of CNN, the Antifa/BLM thugs and the destruction of the United States as we all knew them. And yes, this is a simplistic view, but it is fundamentally correct one nonetheless.

Yes, this is a simplistic view. A more complete view reveals that the transnational capitalist ruling class will no longer tolerate nationalistic fascism. Instead, it will be replaced by real power that lies in the Deep State--the powerful transnational capitalist class and their slicked-up version of neo-fascism. The Trump faction can legally challenge the election and quarrel with the results endlessly, but the outcome will be the same (as in the 2000 election when the Deep State needed Bush, Jr. to be President to carry off their 9/11 project).

• America’s divisions will only get worse by Douglas Murray from Unherd (based in Britain). My commentary follows:

Murray is right when he writes "If people thought that the last four years in American politics were divisive, then they’ve seen nothing yet. Since Trump was elected in 2016, we have been subjected to 24/7 lies from the main ruling transnational capitalist class. They have demonstrated that they will use any means to accumulate more money and power. But what could we expect from this criminal gang of thieves? They have simply done to Americans what they have always done to manage their minds--cover for their assassinations, psy-ops, lies, in other words, the subversive use of media corporations to spread their propaganda. Murray cites numerous specific examples to smear Trump. 

He is right about the hardening of divisions among Americans, and I think we can expect this ruling class to contribute to this divisiveness in the years to come while distracting gullible Americans from the real issues as they "laugh all the way to their banks".

• Rebellion : The Nature of Things | CBC Canada | Extinction Rebellion, a 44:08m video from Extinction Rebellion's channel on YouTube. (This is best post because of the significant commentary following this quote.)
  

'Sparked by activist Greta Thunberg in Sweden and exploding around the world, the global climate protests have been some of the largest demonstrations in history. Rebellion, a documentary from The Nature of Things, is a vivid portrait of this extraordinary grassroots movement.

David Suzuki joins the front lines of the protests, meeting the youth of this generational wave — often compared to the civil rights movement of the ‘60s, the Vietnam War protests, the gay rights movement, and the women’s movement. We meet Olivia Wohlgemuth from New York, age 17, as she plasters flyers on utility poles in Manhattan; Jerome Foster, who was mocked for his lonely vigil for climate justice in front of the White House when he was 16; and Sophia Mathur, of Sudbury, Ont., who at age 11 was the first Canadian student to join Thunberg’s school strike.

Suzuki talks to veteran voices in the climate crisis: David Attenborough, famous for his BBC nature documentaries, shares his fears for the future of civilization itself; Gail Bradbrook, co-founder of the Extinction Rebellion movement that shut down the city of London, describes a tipping point in modern history; Bill McKibben — journalist, activist, and founder of the worldwide 350.org movement — reveals a 30-year conspiracy of the fossil fuel industry to tell “the most significant lie in human history.'

My commentary follows (edited for clarity at 7:25 PM CT):

While viewing this I was emotionally moved by the hordes of people protesting the deterioration of our climate brought about by the capitalist ruling class because of their obsession with profits and power. I also thought about the smug people celebrating the defeat of Donald Trump in the recent "election" announced by media corporations. I thought about the contrast of these protesting (mostly) young people and the people who were celebrating the defeat of Trump (which his camp is disputing), the devil incarnate created by the media of the ruling class. Then I thought about the Germans who were attracted to the Nazi party because they represented a powerful force that were lavishly supported by international capitalists who wanted to destroy the one country where their class didn't rule--the Soviet Union. (See my commentary in which I developed this argument.) (Sorry about the delay in applying this link--I was distracted by format problems.)

Then the thought occurred to me that many ordinary Germans were attracted to this powerful social-economic force because they felt so powerless themselves, and they wanted to identify with what they perceived as a powerful force. I thought the same was applicable to many of my fellow Americans.

But my mind didn't stop there. I concluded that the Great Reset project that our unelected masters decided and their massive engineering of this pandemic was intended to divert our attention to the many real issues that divide Americans while they focus their attention and actions to projects that will support their class's obsession with profits and power, and to extend as long as possible their system of capitalism that provides them with these rewards.

• Gridlock – Biden May or May Not Win, but Trump Remains ‘President’ of Red America by Alastair Crooke, a Brit, from Strategic Culture Foundation. 
  

A ‘fourth industrial revolution’ is the only way by which to ‘square this circle’, according to this mindset [referring to the dominant section of the neoliberal ruling class]. The Reset is purposefully aimed to disrupt all areas of life, albeit on a planetary scale.  Shock therapy, as it were, to change the way we humans think of ourselves, and our relationship with the world.  The Great Reset looks to a supply-side ‘miracle’, achieved through full-spectrum automation and robotics.  A world where the money is digital; the food is lab-grown; where everything is counted and controlled by giant monopolies; and everyday existence is micromanaged by ever-monitoring, ever-nudging AI that registers thoughts and feelings before the people even get a chance to make those thoughts.

My reaction: I am convinced that many years of anti-communist, anti-socialist, and capitalist pro-growth propaganda will ensure the extinction of humans. People will gradually wake up and "connect the dots", but it will be far too late to save a planet that can support human life and that of many other species.

• Glenn Greenwald on resigning from his own publication due to censorship from Fox's Tucker Carlson Tonight via YouTube. (Note: Not only Greenwald left the Guardian media complex, but many of the journalists writing for Off-Guardian's website have done so also. This is because of issues of censorship.

• It Not About Right or Left, Its About Neoliberalism. Mickey Huff on Big Tech’s Efforts To Purge Dissent by Raul Diego from Mint Press News. (Note: The opinion piece is mostly about the censorship views of Huff who has recently joined the staff at this website.) 

My reaction: Huff's views of censorship are only superficial in that he adopts the narrow popular political spectrum of Americans that has been shaped by ruling class media corporations since WWII, but he doesn't see the larger picture that the capitalist ruling class are now adopting more overt censorship as a strategy to manage the minds of ordinary Americans.

However, they unintentionally provide an accurate report on many of the "crimes" committed by the Deep State, the board of directors of the various countries of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire.)
  

• Putin prepares for worse case scenario Biden assault on Armenia & Syria by Alex Christoforou in a 12:19m video presentation from The Duran. (Note: If the analysis of Christoforou's interests you, you may also be interested in this post.)  My commentary follows:

It was very little doubt in my mind that Biden/Harris will win the "election" either by "hook or by crook" (see also this post). The ruling class, of course, rules, and in this election they were determined that their candidate would win. They might make mistakes occasionally (Trump in 2016 was such a mistake), but they control elections much like every other institution. And it was clear from their media coverage ever since Trump mistakenly won the election in 2016, that the core ruling class of transnational fascist-capitalists ("neoliberals" or literally the new capitalists) were going to correct this mistake.

I am posting this because I think that Christoforou has the best specific prognostication regarding the Empire's foreign policy which argues for the US support for destabilizing countries near the "under-belly" of Russia including Syria. I think they, that is, the ruling transnational ruling class of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire, have already begun to implement this plan. 

I note that towards the end of this presentation, Christoforou reports the efforts by Google's YouTube to take away his income. We simply must support his efforts to bring clarity to so many political issues, or else he will go away. 

I think that ruling class will increase its efforts at censorship by such de-funding efforts of anyone who exposes the criminal actions of this class. I've noticed that Google has introduced new software that is making my blogging efforts much harder, and I have noticed other problems on other websites to confuse readers, or make them much more difficult to read or follow.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

• Shredding journalistic credibility from RT via their YouTube channel. (Note: This post is a video-interview with Matt Taibbi that is largely conducted by Chris Hedges, although the latter sometimes offer his views on the journalistic deterioration of the NY Times (and media in general) about which both agree.) My reaction: This is a perfectly normal development in capitalist societies (because of "growth imperative") which reveals an increasing concentration of ownership of all corporations in fewer hands. So, they should not be surprised or dismayed by a similar develop in media corporations. In other words, the end game of capitalism is a few owners who receive overwhelming power and wealth from their concentration of ownership and control of economic property. This is precisely why such a social-economic class have been sooner or later referred to as a "ruling class".

• Election Chaos Unfolding Exactly As P̶l̶a̶n̶n̶e̶d̶ Predicted & We’ve EVERY Reason To Question COVID featuring Ryan Cristián from The Last American Vagabond. (Note: He rants about all the deceptions related to the elections, his own experience with censorship, the pandemic, and various other tricks committed by agents of the ruling class to influence Americans to believe that we live in a just society and have a democracy.  As usual, he offers two formats: an audio presentation and a video presentation, both around one hour. The audio format leaves out the extended silence of the video.) 

My reaction: I don't ever mean to denigrate his efforts, because I think he is genuinely very concerned about these issues and wants to wake us up and also be concerned. The only problem is that, as I written in the past, he takes so much of our time trying to accomplish this. But more importantly, he, as is fashionable nowadays, argues that oligarchy is the problem. This is a very convenient way to obscure the issue of capitalism behind an inevitable result, that is, the rich getting richer ("oligarchy") and the poor getting poorer (and powerless) that such a social-economic system creates. Obscuring this behind "oligarchy", erroneously suggests that we can reform the system (which is responsible for these deceptions) by electing people who will pass legislation that will ensure a more equitable society via regulating corporations, tax policies, etc. Only a recognition that the oligarchy is an inevitable result of the system of capitalism and a ruling class of capitalists, who constantly try to fool us, can we organize effective efforts to change the system by removing private ownership from the present economy, the cornerstone of capitalism, and replace the latter with a system that ensures that the economy sustains us all within the complex web of nature.

• "Capitalism" Is No Longer Attractive to Capitalists by Charles Hugh Smith from his weblog Of Two Minds. My reaction: He tries to "disown" capitalism by arguing that it has morphed into "monopoly-state-socialism for the wealthy, a kleptocracy incompetently cloaked by a rigged simulacrum market in which risk and losses are transferred to the debt-serfs and tax donkeys and the 'socialism for the rich and powerful' is enforced by a pay-to-play simulacrum democracy and kleptocratic, totalitarian central bank, the Federal Reserve." This development is inevitable, but it is not what he labels as the system. The real system that drives the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire is the end stage of capitalism--fascist capitalism. We're not totally there yet, but it is presently developing into the nightmare of neofascism. His description of the present system as "monopoly-state-socialism for the wealthy" is simply the last stage of capitalism known as fascist capitalism.

This is a fundamental reason why activists cannot solve major issues such as poverty, ill health, extreme inequality, climate destabilization, etc.

• Assange and the Empire by Paul Edwards from CounterPunch. This is a best post because of my commentary which follows:  

The post is more about the defeat of "Trumpism", an embarrassing reminder of earlier capitalist rule, than it is about Assange. What will triumph in the election will be a slicked up version of capitalism that is soon to be naked, fascist-capitalism. Edwards tries to sooth our feelings by claiming that ...

... it’s undeniable that more people have more exposure to more sound data than was ever conceivable before, and in spite of Capitalism doing all it can to pollute all information streams, more Americans are more aware, if dimly, that Exceptionalist notions they’ve been schooled to embrace are somehow desafinado, as the bossa nova song had it: out of tune.

But, in the paragraph before he admits the fact that "Americans have not had the mental or psychological capacity to take it [the many crimes of the Empire] in and act on it." This was because they were seduced to believe in the fascist credo that "there is no such thing as society--there are only families" as Thatcher revealed so bluntly to the embarrassment of the ruling capitalist class. The slicked-up version of fascist-capitalism has since WWII used this theme to subvert any notion of class struggle. 

No, I will take no comfort in his observations that although we have access to more information than ever before because we chose to ignore it out of "moral cowardice". I disagree. Fascist-capitalists saw our human weakness: a preference for the more powerful motive-force of striving for one's family rather than for a more abstract just society. They exploited this weakness, and their control of our jobs/careers, which the system of capitalism delivered to them, to successfully counter any notions of revolutionary social justice among the great majority of humans.

And I take no comfort in his claim that we are a failing empire. We humans are a failed species. We will all go down to ignominious defeat by our failure to defeat capitalism. We are destined to disappear on this very unique planet Earth because of capitalism's mantra--limitless growth on a finite planet. We will disappear as a species, along with many others because we have under capitalism destroyed natural conditions on the planet that supports humans, that is, if we don't disappear earlier in a nuclear mushroom cloud.
