We’ve lived so long under the spell of hierarchy—from god-kings to feudal lords to party bosses—that only recently have we awakened to see not only that “regular” citizens have the capacity for self-governance, but that without their engagement our huge global crises cannot be addressed. The changes needed for human society simply to survive, let alone thrive, are so profound that the only way we will move toward them is if we ourselves, regular citizens, feel meaningful ownership of solutions through direct engagement. Our problems are too big, interrelated, and pervasive to yield to directives from on high.

General note: I was late posting articles today because the internet crashed in my area for several hours this morning. Because of this incident, I didn't complete the list of posts that I consider credible.

  • Britain’s Class War on Children by Australian journalist John Pilger from CounterPunch. My only criticism is the title. I know, as any good journalist reports, that he was only reporting about what he knows. But, the British children are not alone. This is true of most of the world's children because the directors of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire have been able to corrupt the UN's health agency (WHO), and have managed to inflict their power on many, if not most, children of the world.
  • Corporate-branded activism from Winter Oak (British and mostly anarchist website). (Note: Learn how wealthy people and subversive organizations takeover non-profit progressive organizations in Britain and Europe.) My reaction: I think such agents use their wealth to initially fund and then takeover such organizations worldwide.
  • The New Norm: Government Lawbreaking from TruePublica, a British website. My reaction: This is an excellent piece of journalism supported by interesting documentation about the British government trying to hide it's dirty secrets from the public. Britain is, of course, a integral part of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire.
[Because of censorship and government secrecy, world workers] have suffered many defeats, including perhaps the greatest one: being deprived of the ideas needed to make revolutionary change. And today it seems to be a race between the destructive tendencies of the capitalist system in charge of the world economy with no greater motivation than an endless stream of profits for which it must embrace endless war, environmental destruction, and the continued enslavement of labor. If left unchecked the capitalist mode of production will go on to the detriment and perhaps even the extinction of the human race. [my insertion]
My reaction: But Marx was wrong about one thing: the inevitability of workers to succeed in overcoming the power of capitalists. We, as a human species along with most others, will go extinct because of environmental destruction long before this will happen.

  • The Pentagon and the CIA Are in Charge of Foreign Policy by Jacob G. Hornberger from The Future of Freedom (Note: This is an obvious libertarian organization, and I don't agree with its principles, but any author can be right some of the time. On this subject he is 100% right--in fact, I would say that the secretive, unaccountable CIA and their bosses in the Deep State control our government. Our "democracy" is totally fake.)   
  • The Great Pretext…for Dystopia by Diana Johnstone from The Unz Review. My reaction: She does a good job describing the implications of Schwab's new governance (because the remarks so far by Schwab about the Great Reset is largely propaganda), but fails on the visceral opposition by capitalists to any hint of real democracy.

  • The Correct Response To “Give Biden A Chance”: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix by Caitlin Johnstone from her weblog. My reaction follows: I especially like the following two paragraphs which illustrate so much about what is happening to people who reside within the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire, and Johnstone lives in Australia which is an integral part of the Empire. 

    When I started this gig I learned very early on that the articles which get the most shares are ones which are appealing to one of America’s two mainstream political factions. Everyone who gets into any kind of media related to US politics receives this same message. Most don’t reject the temptation.

    I was given a natural incentive to go mainstream partisan; no plutocratic funding or CIA infiltration required. The partisan dynamic is just that strong, which is why so many media figures become Dem shills or doofy Trumpers instead of nonpartisan free thinkers. There’s so much energy feeding into the partisan dynamic that people can float whole media careers on it very easily. A lot of the information distortion you see is no more complex or conspiratorial than that.
Our masters, the billionaires who own and control the country, are trying to divide us into two opposing and combative camps while spreading fear of the monster covid-19 virus. They will entice some of us with comfortable careers if we play along with their agendas to divide us by taking over rather progressive sources of information like Wikipedia and worker associated political parties like the Democratic Party. They use the latter type of organizations to spread their agendas of fear, disinformation, and their self-serving propaganda. At some point our masters in the core ruling class will come to our rescue and "restore" order, their order, to the chaos and fear that is spreading throughout their empire. Then "peace" and "harmony", their peace and harmony, will reign over this land where thought control and surveillance is everywhere to ensure their prosperity and power among hordes of poverty stricken people.
  • How To Be More Obedient featuring JP Sears (from his channel via YouTube) satirically instructing us on "how to be more obedient".
  • AOC Gaslights For Democrats Over COVID Bail-Out. This 17:14m video (via YouTube) features Jimmy Dore of The Jimmy Core Show informing Americans on the political services that mostly Democrats are providing for Wall Street and the rich while forgetting the poor.

  • Dominion refusal to attend hearing is globalists throwing down the gauntlet [Video] by Seraphim Hanisch from The Duran. This is a best post. (Note: There is so much content in this article that I haven't the time yet to access all of it. I especially want to direct you to the video--while you are still allowed by YouTube (Google owns YouTube) to access it (unfortunately, it was taken down before I posted my articles). In the process of a few minutes, I discovered that Dr Buttar's website has been already severely edited by YouTube. I don't have the technology expertise to download "TheDeenShow #794" in this article, but I urge people, who have these skills, to download it (too late!) and post the video on independent websites such as Bitchute.)
 Meanwhile, I direct you to this quote and my response:
This is a digression, but let me finish it. Honestly, even though I write about this, I am still reticent to buy the whole package about Fauci and Dr Buttar, so, you who read this now have my own full disclosure. To complete it, I think there is something not right about this story, and I am definitely convinced that the COVID virus is being used by globalist elites because it is useful to their plans. As to whether or not they triggered it, I still have a hard time believing that people in our day crave power to the point of killing hundreds of thousands of people as “collateral damage” or worse, “a case of the means being justified by the ends.” You, Dear Reader, will also have to decide this.
My reaction: I haven't listened to the part about Fauci and Dr. Buttar, but I am convinced that the ruling capitalist classes of various nations are perfectly capable of such horrible crimes. Their record demonstrates this. And because they own, and thus control, everything of value, they will continue to get away with these abominable crimes until natural forces get rid of the human species.
  • They think you're stupid.  By satirist Paul Joseph Watson on his YouTube channel. (Note: Watson is obviously a Brit expressing satire against the covid-19 policies of the English ruling capitalist class. Wikipedia has painted him as the worst type of right-wing human being. This is another example of ruling capitalist classes using unaccountable "intelligence" services to infiltrate progressive organizations and subvert them into serving their fascist agendas. I doubt that he will have any trouble posting his YouTube videos. He may be right-wing, but we need to listen to all credible views instead of censoring them.
Watson is obviously wrong about ridiculing the Great Reset that was announced recently by Klaus Schwab, head of the World Economic Forum, which is an unelected ruling capitalist class elite organization of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire. Watson is correct when he says that the Great Reset is only a conspiracy theory, but conspiracy theories of our masters are what they have planned for us, and they will attempt to carry them out. So his ridicule works to a limited extent: to ridicule their propaganda about the supposed benefits to humans under their command. However, they are serious in their commitments to introduce more self-serving events like requiring all citizens to have vaccinations to travel abroad, the introduction of digital money, and other measures which will reduce populations ("useless eaters") and increase their surveillance and control over us. 
Thus far, we have been experiencing only mild restrictions to our civil liberties, but their actual plans will undoubtedly be more serious crimes against humanity in sharp contrast to their propaganda. We are already witnessing the devastating impacts upon poor people, small businessmen, and the gig economy. So their "conspiracy theories" are our reality in the future.
Because people are a lot more likely to click, read and share information which validates their pre-existing opinions and follow people who do the same, social media is notorious for the way it creates tightly insulated echo chambers which masturbate our confirmation bias and hide any information which might cause us cognitive dissonance by contradicting it. Whole media careers were built on this phenomenon during the years of Russiagate hysteria, and we see it play out in spheres from imperialism to Covid-19 commentary to economic policy.
To my foreign readers: Don't blame ordinary Americans for being so misled and ignorant about American and world political issues. They have been subject to unrelenting capitalist propaganda by the American ruling class for the past 75 years!

  • James Corbett Explains The Great Reset on The Highwire from his weblog The Corbett Report in which he explains to Del Bigtree, a troubled ordinary person (from Colorado, and has a weblog) who expresses worries of his own about the Great Reset that powerful figures have planned for us. My reaction: Notice that Corbett, the outspoken anarchist, does not point fingers at government authorities, but powerful transnational capitalist figures. Apparently he doesn't know that government authorities are just tools controlled by ruling capitalist classes. Corbett, the anarchist, espouses "decentralization" but without taking away the concentration of private ownership of the economy.

  • GLENN GREENWALD on The Media Elite! on The Jimmy Dore Show. (Note: Greenwald answers piercing questions from Dore about his quarrel with the Intercept, and the pressures put on journalists who try to do honest reports.)
  • GLENN GREENWALD Calls Out AOC's Fake Progressiveness posted on The Jimmy Dore Show. This is a best post. (Note: "AOC" stands for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. In this fascinating teleconferencing discussion (38:42m), Dore begins asking Greenwald some probing questions about censorship in the broadcasts owned by most media corporations, and Greenwald offers some fascinating and sophisticated insights not only about censorship, but other political subjects in plain everyday language that ordinary people use and understand.)
  • False Flags and the Dawn of Bioterrorism featuring James Corbett explaining what is meant about the expression "false flag attack", the use of terrorism and recent forms of bio-terrorism as a false flag attacks. Posted on his weblog The Corbett Report. (Note: The US was criticized for using bio-terrorism, which was thoroughly covered up, in the Korean War. Read This Must Be the Place by Dave Chaddock.)
  • Anthrax To COVID: The Ongoing Anthrax Deception That Created The BioSecurity State & COVID-19 featuring Ryan Cristián of The Last American Vagabond conducting a 52:13m interview with "David Meiswinkle, President Executive Director of Lawyer’s Committee For 9/11 Inquiry, here to discuss the current status of their ongoing uphill battle to gain some semblance of government accountability and transparency in regard to 9/11 and the subsequent (and clearly interconnected) anthrax false flag." (Note: Meiswinkle mentions "Daschle"--this is Sen. Tom Daschle from South Dakota who was reticent about passing the Patriot Act.   
  • New York Times Job Listing Shows How Western Propaganda Operates by Caitlin Johnstone from her weblog. This is a best post because she highlights capitalist propaganda as a kind of religion for some people (sociopaths) who want to advance their careers and, by the way, to insure the comforts of their families. (Recall here Margaret Thatcher's statement that there is no such thing as society, there are only families.) Beliefs that support families are the cornerstone of capitalism in contrast to working class loyalties. These sociopaths don't question what they write. It is all to curry favor from their bosses in order to advance their careers and the comforts of their families. This is true of most upper-middle-class people, and some middle class people, who have adopted the sociopathic religion of capitalism.
My memory was very much the same as Curtin's emotional experiences. But there were differences. One major difference is that I was already a genuine socialist (by this I mean that people should own and control the economy to distinguish from social democrats like Bernie Sanders who only supposedly believe in a strong welfare state but with private ownership of the economy), and as such I found it completely understandable that the growing fascist Deep State could not tolerate a peace-loving president. I concluded that this incident was a sign of worse things to come, and was a least intellectually prepared for them. I, too, was enrolled in sociology course; but when this happened in addition to other experiences, I decided to abandon plans for an academic career in political sociology because I knew that academia was already filled with professors who, in order to protect their careers, had already sold out to the capitalist ruling class.
  • G20: the debt solution by Michael Roberts from CADTM (Committee for the Abolition of Illegitimate Debt). (Note: This article would be better entitled "Capitalist Nations Cannot Agree on the Global Debt Problem".)
  • iLaw's US-Funded Charter Proposal REJECTED featuring a 2:30m video presentation by Brian Berletic ("Tony Cartalucci") from his weblog Land Destroyer Report summarizing the Thai government's rejection of the rewriting of Thailand's constitution to permit US funded parties to participate in Thailand's government.

  • 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?")
  • 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 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".

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]
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 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.

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]
  • 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.).
  • 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".  
  • 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:
Fascism: Now You See It, Now You Don’t!;
Liberalism and Fascism: Partners in Crime; The U.S. Did Not Defeat Fascism in WWII, It Discretely Internationalized It; Liberalism & Fascism: The Good Cop & Bad Cop of Capitalism; A Counter-History of Fascism and Liberalism

  • 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.
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.

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.).
  • 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.)
  • The Canadian Military Declares War on Canadians – #PropagandaWatch featuring Canadian James Corbet and Dan Dicks of PressForTruth.ca posted on The Corbet Report. (Note: Corbett and Dicks uncover a fake news type of propaganda to influence people of Nova Scotia and other areas of Canada. Of course, Canada is an integral part of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire. 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.

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.
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.

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.)
  • The Tories against democracy by Aris Roussinos from Unherd (a British based website). My reaction: Because people of the Empire have not been taught real history, they are completely unaware that their capitalist ruling classes have no commitment to democracy. In fact, they see it as threat to their rule, and try to contain it with every means at their disposal.

Posts that I especially recommend today: Tuesday, November 10, 2020

  • 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. People of most countries outside of the USA (and maybe Britain) identify such nations as "bourgeois democracies" in contrast to socialist or, much more frequently, mixed economies of other nations.)
  • 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.
  • Goodbye YouTube Party!!! featuring several of the remaining independent people running websites that still challenge the Empire's censoring efforts. Posted on James Corbett's website and hosted by him. My reaction: It is encouraging to see that many of the remaining bloggers are celebrating the coordination of their efforts to defeat the Empire's giant beasts which are engaged in the management of the minds of their subjects. We must support their efforts or they might disappear--then we will really be in deep shit! (This is a best post.)
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).
  • Europe and the Pandemic by Eric Toussaint and Manoel Barbeitos from CADTM (Committee for the Abolition of Illegitimate Debt). (My reaction: The European Union is an integral part of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire. Is it only a coincidence that their policies which are supporting corporations are the same as in the US and England?
Call it the “New Normal,” or whatever you want. Pretend “democracy has triumphed” if you want. Wear your mask. Mask your children. Terrorize them with pictures of “death trucks,” tales of “Russian hackers” and “white supremacist terrorists.” Live in fear of an imaginary plague (or perhaps a non-imaginary plague if that “very dark winter” comes to pass). Censor all dissent. Ban all protests. Do not attempt to adjust your telescreen. Click on the link to join the Zoom meeting. Have your password and your identity papers ready. Watch your pronouns. Get down on your knees. It’s GloboCap Fucking Ăśber Alles!
