• Columbia University Caught Lying For Biden Over Stimulus Bill featuring Jimmy Dore using his channel at Rokfin in a 12:26m video to expose a current example of Columbia University's participation in the ruling class's management of consent/dissent. 

• 💥VIDEO: With Katie Herzog on the Expansion of LGBTQ Identity and How it is Wielded in Political Discourse featuring Glenn Greenwald and Herzog, from Greenwald's weblog on Substack. This is a best post. (Note: I received this post from Greenwald shortly before I finished work on yesterday's post, and wanted to thoroughly read and understand it--which I subsequently did.) My commentary follows:
  

The ruling capitalist class has used the social identity trick for many years to elect first Barack Obama and then in their attempt to elect Hillary Clinton. Now they have expanded their scope of operations to other social identity groups and smear anyone who challenges them (in addition to anyone who questions their pandemic policies). They do this in order to divide us into hating each other, to distract us from forming other ideas that might be influenced by class politics, and to divert our attention away from real issues of inequality under a capitalist system. 

 

I think they expanded their psychology operation to extend to other identity groups after they failed to elect Hillary Clinton to the presidency. But they saw it as useful because it greatly influenced the upper-middle-class of college-educated professionals which is their core constituency. They drew on their highly trained advertising and public relations experts to study how to "sell" ruling class policies to the rest of the American society. I think Eric London was right when he wrote the following:

 

Identity politics has become a key mechanism through which the next 9 percent situated below the top 1 percent advances its grievances within the political establishment, fighting for “space” in the universities, trade unions, political parties, state apparatus, and corporate media. This layer, which forms a principal social base for the Democratic Party, is generally pro-war and supportive of the right-wing policies that have produced a soaring stock market. 

 

Comics like Jimmy Dore exposed their feminist trick, and radical film reviewers like Michael Walsh did likewise in his review of Hollywood film. Satirists like CJ Hopkins cited in 2018 the advantages that this project of social identity had for our masters in the ruling class. He argued that its appeal extended to other groups and all classes of society. But our masters didn't quit--they had finally found the magic key to the manipulation of the general population. 

 

Over the years the public opinion shapers improved on his project by using it against major dissidents to control and limit their influence on the general population. They discovered last year the benefits of declaring a pandemic: it enabled them to add censorship to their project by using "fact- checkers" to prohibit the use of privately owned social platforms by disobedient dissidents in order to limit their influence. Now they have turned their new weapon on the likes of Glenn Greenwald and Katie Herzog whose writings challenged their newfound weapon. This could not be tolerated. The two in this post, besides commiserating with each other, explain the victimization as a phenomenon of recent converts to prior forbidden social identities as the source of the attacks on them. However, unlike Walsh and Hopkins, the two do not explicitly link this recent persecution to a ruling class that doesn't like their brand of independent journalism.

• New Cold War is Built on Humanitarian Interventionist Lies and Dismissal of Actual War Crimes by Danny Haiphong from Black Agenda Report.
  

• The Puppet Masters: Is There Really a Deep State? by Philip Geraldi from Strategic Culture Foundation (based in Russia, but independent and international). My reaction: For a long time I have suspected Geraldi to be an agent of one of the Empire's many secret services, and now I am sure. You see, they have heavily infiltrated many news agencies located in the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire in order to shape public opinion according to the orders of the Deep State. For the past several years Geraldi has posed as a supporter of Palestinian rights and in opposition to Israeli policies to the extent that one could label him with an anti-Semitic bias. However, now that he is firmly established in various publications and has collected an audience of mostly left-wingers, his bosses in the Deep State ordered him to obscure the CIA, the foremost US secret service, and gaslight the Deep State, the hidden, real government of the USA. In this article he poo-poos the concept of a Deep State, reverses the role they play in relation to their secret services, and he conflates the term "Deep State" with "establishment". Contrary to his assertion, the concept of "deep state" was not coined by a Turkish author, but by Peter Dale Scott. You see, for more than 50 years, I have observed and read about the subversive actions of the CIA, the hidden government represented by the Deep State, and I've developed an advanced "nose" for detecting such fake opinion-shapers. In this case, the stench is overwhelming.

• Vanessa Beeley Interview – Inside The West’s Illegal Yemen Occupation & CIA Caught Rescuing al-Qaeda featuring a 1:08:11 video posted on The Last American Vagabond in which Ryan Cristián interviewing Beeley regarding her meeting with the Yemeni's ambassador to Syria where she presently lives.
  

• The Anti-Semitic Birth of the Zionist State: A History of Israel’s Self-Hating Founders by Miko Peled from Mint Press News.
  

• Myanmar: Hidden Opposition Violence by Brian Berletic from his weblog Land Destroyer Report. My reaction: I have covered Berletic's reports, when he was known as "Tony Cartalucci", for many years, and I've always found them to be reliable. In this post he takes a report from a Western news agency and shows by reading line by line how it is scripting reports from other "color revolutions", whose activists are funded via Western NGOs, to hide what is really going on--starting a revolution in Myanmar.

• Overshoot or Omnicide? by Sam Carana from his weblog Arctic News. 

Posts that I especially recommend for Thursday, March 18, 2021

• 💥Vaccine Passports and Medical Martial Law by Jesse Smith from his weblog Truth Unmuted. This is a best post.

• Our Digital Gulag on The Last American Vagabond posted on Corbett's website (if you haven't already, listen to the same discussion on this "best post" a few days ago from The Last American Vagabond's website.)
  

• Money Is Made Up And We Can Change The Rules Whenever We Want by Caitlin Johnston, an independent Australian blogger, from her website. 

• Britain’s Secret Political Police by Asa Winstanley from Internationalist 360°. 

• Journalists, Illustrating How They Operate, Yesterday Spread a Significant Lie All Over Twitter by Glenn Greenwald from his weblog in Substack. My commentary follows: 

Although Greenwald lambasts the journalist profession with a "holier than thou" tone, he only lamely examines the reasons why most of the profession has been corrupted. It is the corruption of this profession that is the root of so much ignorance among ordinary Americans about what their ruling class and its government are doing. 

 

The corruption of government is another subject that needs exploring by brave (suicidal) people, and a few are doing this. Many members of the legal profession, of which Greenwald is a member, collude in government with liars in the secret services, corporation execs, and the whole fascist Deep State. Maybe he should stick to his own profession with his lofty principles. It is the story that needs to be reported, but a relatively few people are doing it, and mostly in alternative media. These few courageous people are constantly faced with innumerable difficulties such as begging for funding from the public, lack of resources to do their job, constantly labeled by mainstream journalists as engaging in "conspiracy theories", and under constant attack by ruling class censors posing as "fact-checkers", etc.

 

The major problem is the overwhelming power of the capitalist leviathan that has grown to the fascist monster that it is during the past several hundred years. Oh, it was cute as an infant and few people saw that it had the potential to become the bête noire that it is today. Nowadays, it is in control of an empire, all institutions therein, control of nearly all jobs and careers, and in control of resources, wealth, and power that could only be dreamed about by earlier ruling classes.

• House Hearing Provides a Message to Robinhood Traders: Retail Investors Lose Consistently When They Actively Trade their Own Account by Pam & Russ Martens from their weblog Wall Street on Parade. 

• For Leviathan, it’s so cold in Alaska by Pepe Escobar from "The Saker" weblog. (Note: Escobar, a Brazilian journalist, brings his great geopolitical expertise to focus on two meetings between two top antagonists--the super-aggressive US/Anglo/Zionist Empire versus those nations (Russia-China-Iran alliance) which insist on a multipolar world. You will need to know what he means when he references "the Quad"; also here are the lyrics to Caroline Says II.)
  

• DISCUSS: President Magufuli dead at 61 from Off-Guardian. My reaction: This is what invariably happens to those leaders who oppose the Empire's policies and actions. The leaders don't even have to be from a foreign country. The assassination of the Kennedy brothers demonstrates this.
  

• ‘Independent’ report claiming Uyghur genocide brought to you by sham university, neocon ideologues lobbying to ‘punish’ China by Ajit Singh from The Grayzone. 

• British policy in Syria is a vindictive campaign to crush Syrian/Russian relations by Vanessa Beeley from her weblog The Wall Will Fall. My reaction: Britain is, of course, part of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire, and as such this policy applies to all of the Empire.

• 💥Intersectional Imperialism: A Wholesome Menace by Alex Rubinstein from his weblog on Substack. This is a best post. My reaction: This post is a most revealing exposé of identity politics ("wokeism") and how it is used to legitimize the most heinous acts and policies of the capitalist ruling class both within and without the USA. This strategy has its roots in the advanced technology of advertising so necessary to sell all the shoddy and unnecessary products of late-stage capitalism--the selling of anything.
  

• How Do Big Media Outlets So Often "Independently Confirm" Each Other's Falsehoods? by Glenn Greenwald from his weblog at Substack. 

• Do U.S. and UK Have the World’s Most-Censored Press? by Eric Zuesse from Strategic Culture Foundation. My reaction: Although Zuesse avoids Marxist terms like ruling class, and instead prefers feudal words like "aristocracy" because a Marxist lexicon is verboten in the advanced capitalist societies, his description of the ruling class and their fake version of democracy is "spot-on".

• Joe Biden Unlawful Agression [sic] in Syria Signals the Endgame in the Region by Vanessa Beeley from UK Column.
  

• Trump admin insider reveals how US military sabotaged peace agreement to prolong Afghanistan war by Gareth Porter from The Grayzone.

Wet bulb temperature sounds almost comical, but the implications of it's [sic] extremes could not be more serious. And as our planet's atmosphere continues to warm, our tropical regions move ever closer to posing that existential threat to billions of people.

• Halt All Covid-19 Mass Vaccination Immediately (Open Letter to the WHO) — Vaccine Research Expert from Dryburgh. (Note: I am posting this because of an activist who sent it to me.) My reaction: But Bossche doesn't mention any lack of concern regarding mRNA vaccines that all the other immunology specialists have expressed concern about. He seems to regard the current "vaccines" as traditional vaccines.)

• 💥James Corbett Interview – COVID-19 Censorship, Technocracy & The Amazing Country Of Digital Gulag features Ryan Cristián in a discussion lasting nearly an hour and seven minutes with Corbett, a Canadian, regarding Patreon's letter that effectively tries to censor him, problems with Japan's postal system, and the coming digital gulag which will imprison all of us by restricting our communication of information. This is a best post. My reaction: Of course, the digital gulag is powered by the private ownership of communication-technology under the rules of capitalism in contrast to Corbett's arguments that focuses on government authorities. Of course, government authorities are controlled by billionaires in the capitalist ruling class.

Posts that I especially recommend for Monday, March 15, 2021

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

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

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

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

• Syria, Venezuela sanctions by Richard Medhurst from PressTV (Iran).
  

• Panic Time: The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists may be the only outlet whose approach to climate change is explicitly existential by E. Tammy Kim from Columbia Journalism Review.(Note: This is a rather lengthy article reporting on the details of the transition of this online publication to include global warming in addition to a nuclear catastrophe.) 

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

• 💥Bill Gates’ Foundation Funded ‘DNA Mining’ Using COVID-19 Tests featuring Ryan Cristián in an excerpt (36:34m) from his regular show "The Daily Wrap Up 3/6/21" (lasting nearly five hours) posted on The Last American Vagabond. (Note: Cristián reports with documented evidence numerous unsavory connections between not only Big Pharma working under "public-private partnerships" with government agencies, but China as well.  He reads extensively from an article published online by the British Medical Journal (BMJ) shocking revelations which disclose the corrupting influences of international pharmaceutical corporations, in collusion with various governments, Congressional leaders, Bill Gates, etc.) This is a best post.

This is a 41:26m video discussion posted from EarthNewspaper's channel of Bitchute. (Note: This explanation is not that the disease of Covid-19 doesn't exist, but the development of vaccines to prevent the disease is not valid from a scientific perspective.)
  

• Vaccine Secrets from Children's Health Defense. (Note: A cartoonist's conspiracy theories factual reporting on vaccines in the USA.

• Journalists Start Demanding Substack Censor its Writers: to Bar Critiques of Journalists by Glenn Greenwald from his weblog on Substack. (Note: This is a late posting at around 3:24 PM CT today.) Referring to these journalists working for mostly media corporations, he writes:
  

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

Such granular levels of information could only be dreamed of by Allen Dulles and the CIA’s disinformation efforts behind the Iron Curtain during the Cold War. But, today, our digitally-integrated world allows for such dystopian dreams to become a reality. At the same time, it makes exposing these operations that much easier.

• Fukushima Meltdowns Turn Ten, Still Getting Worse by William Boardman from Dissident Voice. Boardman's conclusion is the following:

Nuclear power has always been a corrupt enterprise, but in Japan now that corruption is coming back to hold its perpetrators accountable. On February 19, the Tokyo High Court ordered the government and TEPCO to pay damages of $2.63 million to 43 people who were forced to evacuate from their homes by the Fukushima disaster. The presiding judge called the government’s regulatory inaction “extremely unreasonable.” There are as many as 30 more such suits pending in Japanese courts.

• Militarization of Colombia is a Key Aspect of U.S. Hemispheric Control by Vicente Guevara from Internationalist 360°. My rather brief commentary follows: 

The rich US capitalist ruling class using direct threat of violence supplied by the US military have succeeded in using Columbia as a base to control all of South America. They have done this under the guise of fighting the trafficking of illicit drugs, and, of course, against any violation of human rights. However, their real intentions were to control South America for the benefit of US corporations. 

 

Meanwhile, this self-seeking wealth and power ruling class have used censorship and propaganda to keep out any hint of their real intentions from ordinary Americans who have in the past enjoyed some of the benefits of this control. As long as some of the benefits kept coming for ordinary Americans and they were distracted by all the entertainment that the ruling class supplied to them, they ignored what their government, controlled by capitalists, was doing to the rest of the world. Thus, our masters have depended on the ignorance of their subjects regarding their real intentions. 

 

It is becoming increasingly clear to ordinary Americans that they have been deceived about a number of issues by their masters in the ruling class. Whether a sufficient number of ordinary people wake up to this fact to challenge these policies remains to be seen. A positive outcome requires ordinary Americans to identify with ordinary people, not only Colombians but all people of the world because they have all been targets for exploitation by capitalist ruling classes.

• Predictive Programming Vaccine Mass Sterilization Depopulation Agenda On Amazon ‘Utopia’ Show (5:27) from EarthNewspaper. (Note: This is an actual film production (series) by Amazon, Inc.)

• Chaos In Ukraine Is Making An Epic Comeback from South Front. (Note: This post includes a 3:48m video report and transcript.) My reaction: This is another report on how true Joe Biden's statement that "America is back". The main capitalist ruling class is back after the Trump interruption and returning to their favorite strategies to counter Russia's influence as illustrated by Ukrainian developments reported in this post and the bombing and missile strikes on Syria. Among the developments in Ukraine are those that the ruling class is already implementing here in the USA:

It all started with the shutting down of opposition TV channels and immediately moved to attacks on the largest and most popular opposition party – “Opposition Platform – For Life!”.Opposition leaders were then sanctioned, for being “Putin agents”, and many of its members were openly censored and persecuted. Then it came down to censoring and persecuted another well-known opposition figure – Anatoly Shariy, and his party.

Websites were pulled down, accounts were banned, cases were opened against those against President Volodymyr Zelensky and his “Servant of the People” party.

This is direct evidence, that many people have suspected over the many years since the assassination: that the NYC police department is responsible for this murder. Of course, the latter was acting according to orders issued by the ruling capitalist class to silence him because they didn't like his efforts at raising the consciousness of poor African-Americans. This incident will never be reported by mainstream "news" corporations who will continue serving the ruling class with the dissemination of propaganda.

• Vaccine Diabolus and the Impending Wave of Rare Neurodegenerative Disorders by Mike Whitney from Global Research.
  

Is it the reputable scientists, virologists, epidemiologists and other medical experts who don’t have a stake in the outcome and who base their judgements on the science alone, or is it the conflicted state bureaucrats, the public health toadies and the billionaire activists who control the media and whose shadowy and sinister motives are still not clear?

Most people know the answer to that question already. It’s obvious.

• Another Independent News Show Gets Shut Down. This 13:51m YouTube video features Jimmy Dore and a guest Kit Cabello whose channel has been censored by YouTube. My reaction: It's amazing why Dore's channel hasn't been censored. My hunch is that he has a very large following.

• Reclaiming Our Common Home by Vandana Shiva from Yes!. My reaction: I think that the basic needs of humans must be equitably shared. But at the same time, humans must learn about the fact that they are one of a vast number of species in the web of life on planet Earth, and act responsibly. Neither one of my conditions will be met as long as self-serving classes rule over humans. From scientific reports I've read during the past 45 years, I think that humans living in class-structured societies have not acted responsibly and they will become extinct as well as many other species on our exceptional planet Earth.
  

• Wherefore Art Thou Ghislaine Maxwell? And who are your friends? by Philip Giraldi from The Unz Review.

• Biden and the ‘Yellow Brick Road’ by Alastair Crooke from Strategic Culture Foundation (based in Russia but international in scope). (Note: "4IR" means "fourth industrial revolution" which was announced by Klaus Schwab by the Great Reset. The latter is a project decided by our masters, the billionaires in the transnational capitalist ruling class of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire.)

Crooke writes:

 

America’s position as ‘global leader’, Stephen Wertheim has observed in his book Tomorrow the World, was premised on a set of impermanent and atypical post-war circumstances that handed primacy to the U.S.; but Wertheim then goes on to underscore how “those days of incontestable unipolarity are over, and cannot be wished back”. The U.S. empire is, then, at an impasse: Its moral and political justification of overseeing a global order shaped to its norms is now beyond its capabilities (militarily or financially) to maintain.

 

His view differs from mine in that he sees only an American empire, whereas I see the reality of a transnational capitalist empire built on the ruins of the former British Empire combined with the military power of the USA and extended by their combined power over numerous other nations, primarily Europe and Israel. This is the history since WWII of the development of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire which has largely replaced the Nazi ambitions of the Third Reich. 

 

However, in the end Crooke returns to the political dynamics of the USA to imply that most Americans simply want to return to "normal" and will not go along with this delusional agenda. Although his metaphor using "Alice in Wonderland" is clever, I don't think this implication is accurate. I don't see that ordinary Americans will become a significant factor in the future. I believe that too many Americans have been so brainwashed by fake history, capitalist culture, and the advantages that Americans have enjoyed since WWII to be an effective actor in the future. I also believe that our present ruling class suffer from a dangerous delusion, one among many others, of omnipotence that will make the near future much more dangerous than what Crooke suggests.

• U.S. Launches New Afghanistan Initiative Which Is Unlikely To Fly by Bernhard from his weblog Moon of Alabama. (Note: He brings us up-to-date on efforts by the US State Department to get US official forces out of Afghanistan.)

["The Biden regime"] needs some face saving period of 'peace in Afghanistan' to justify a pull out. It also wants to keep some CIA counter-terrorism force in the country which is something the Taliban are unlikely to allow.

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

• Return of the Leviathan: The Fascist Roots of the CIA and the True Origin of the Cold War [part 1 of 3] by Cynthia Chung from Strategic Culture Foundation. (Note: Chung bases her history of the growth of the CIA on original documents and other writers who did likewise which is the responsibility of every good historian. WWII was really fought by the British and their American allies to preserve the capitalist system and what was left of the British Empire, but they temporarily needed the Soviet Union to accomplish this. However, the history of this period has been re-written by propaganda hacks hired by the subversive cabal lodged in the State Department and Wall Street and their fake history has been subsequently taught in US schools, media, and Hollywood films. Most Americans and many others have no idea of the real history of this period. This project was intentionally undertaken after WWII to prepare Americans and others for the Cold War against the Soviet Union and their bureaucratically controlled socialist-type of economy, and to build a capitalist empire of their own in place of the Nazi's Third Reich. Her history dovetails nicely with my historical posts regarding WWII (see this and this).

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

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

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

 

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

• 💥GMO Soy, Popular Resistance, and Corporate Power, essentially a book review by Brian Tokar from Climate & Capitalism. This is a best post. (Note: It appears from reading this article that technically knowledgeable, ordinary people must learn about the genetic engineering methods to design seeds, foods, and even us humans in order to enhance corporate profits. Thus far, evidence suggests that corporations have obscured the introduction of these methods to hide their obsessive drive for ever greater profits despite their effects, potential and actual, on our health and well-being.)

• 💥Dr. Andrew Kaufman Interview – Virus Isolation, Terrain Theory & COVID-19 features Ryan Cristián conducting a 1:37:34 interview with Dr. Andrew Kaufman, a microbiologist, regarding the isolation of SARS-CoV-2 and other related subjects regard the Covid-19 pandemic. I have not the technical training to digest all of Kaufman's comments, but he sure seems credible to me. I was so impressed that I am giving it the highest rating--a best post.
  

• All Of Humanity’s Problems Are Caused By A Lack Of Awareness by Australian Caitlin Johnstone from her weblog. 

• Full-Spectrum Extinction by Paul Atwood from CounterPunch. My commentary follows:

I wish he had provided links to supporting documents for the arguments he made. He acknowledges that "his undergrads" have been taught false history lessons regarding WWII. Why, after a lifetime of indoctrination in false history, should the American people and "his undergrads" believe his undocumented history of WWII? Or, his later argument that (unspecified) people who lead the USA want full spectrum dominance of the world much like Nazi Germany and Japan. He seems to grant legitimacy to dominance in the early paragraphs, but then in the last paragraphs he seems to imply that such policies and motives threaten the extinction of humans. Which is it? I think this is a lame essay because of these faults and weaknesses. For these reasons, I question the motives that led him to write the article and the motives for CounterPunch to publish it online.

 

The above criticisms apply to nearly all of the articles published by CounterPunch. Perhaps Jimmy Dore's satirical arguments about the evasiveness of Democratic Party members of Congress describe the writers that CounterPunch chooses to publish. I haven't seen them posting articles that challenge the policies of Dr. Fauci and the actions of Bill Gates.  Perhaps they, too, as well as CounterPunch, only pretend to care about the issues of inequality and imperialist US policies that the rest of their writers of CounterPunch so incessantly address. Perhaps they, too, are in on the game of promoting themselves while pretending to care about important issues.

The problems with this post are: Wieler's report is rather technical and the interview lasts 1:18:32m (it starts at about .50m). 

Joining me today is Dr. James Lyons-Weiler PhD, here to discuss the potential dangers of the mRNA COVID-19 injections. We will focus on how James called out the presence of unsafe epitopes as well as PEG within these injections, before they were being used, and how today the real-world data is verifying his claims. Finally, we go over TEG and the EPA’s newly authorized (for emergency use) ‘Chemical Air Treatment’ and how this only adds to the potential for damaging reactions. All of this was ignored, dismissed and disparaged by the very institutions charged with keeping you safe in exactly this way.

• Skeletons in the Neoliberal Cupboard by Thomas Klikauer and Norman Simms from CounterPunch. My reaction: I can think of another skeleton: as the rich get richer and more powerful because they have mastered the game of capitalism aided by the wealth and power of their family and ancestors, they have also taken on an illusory omnipotent attitude. This neoliberal development is characterized by thinking that they, the rich and powerful transnational class of capitalists, are an exceptional race apart of the mass of humans; and because of the latter, they can dictate future societal arrangements (think the Great Reset) to the rest of us using mostly deceptive means. You see, the rest of us are too dumb to follow their commands so that they must deceive us into playing along with their plans by planting the idea that such plans are good for us and inevitable. And, they want us to love them while deceiving us.

• Progressives Sell Out Workers on $15 Minimum Wage featuring Jimmy Dore exclaiming about the reluctance of the Democratic Party to push this legislation in Congress via a 24:15m video on his YouTube channel. My reaction: Dore is in the process of discovering how undemocratic Congress is and that both parties have to push policies that favor the capitalist ruling class. To do this, the Democrats, as a party supposedly favoring the working class, have to engage in deceptions far more than the Republicans.)

• Biden's Protection of Murderous Saudi Despots Shows the Hidden Reality of U.S. Foreign Policy by Glenn Greenwald from his website on Substack. My commentary follows: 

Greenwald argues that the myth of this administration opposing tyranny is just that--a myth. He discloses a secret that most Americans naively believe: that their government pursues moral objectives. This grand deception hides many truths that their government not only is immoral like any criminal gang, but a bigger insight that their government is only a facade behind which a tiny class of capitalists rules all the nation and transnational capitalists rule the nations of the Empire. Many activists are aware of the first deception, but fail to recognize the second. And virtually all Americans fail to know that their elections along with the complex of myths regarding democracy are all deceptions. They are living and working in a world much like that of the film The Truman Show. 

• The Age of Social Murder by Chris Hedges from ScheerPost. My reaction: I am posting this article only to criticize it. I am turned off most of his writing by the moral denunciations of his targets in the government and oligarchy. His articles often read like sermons (he trained in a seminary to be a sermonizer) castigating sinners in the government and the rich for their sins. He seldom mentions the capitalist system which I firmly believe accounts for most of his "evil-doers". Besides this fundamental criticism, I don't accept his take on the current pandemic in which he largely accepts what the mainstream media report about the pandemic.
