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.

  • What Do We Do About The Increasing Vaccine Pressure? by Arjun Walia from Collective Evolution featuring a 28:14m video in which Joe Martino, founder of Collective Evolution, discusses the implications of the hints of governments mandating vaccines and private businesses that will essentially making vaccines mandatory in order to access their business services or products. A best post.
  • 'RT raises issues corporate controlled media doesn't want raised' by Chris Hedges from RT. My reaction: Isn't it ironic that a critic of US government policies, like all such critics, has to go to a foreign sponsored source to express his views? And isn't it ironic that one corporate media giant labels RT as "... funded in whole or in part by the Russian government?" in order to discourage viewers away from RT? After all, corporations are careful that we don't access material from dubious sources--but encourage people to access information only from their sources. (sarcasm)
  • Naomi Klein: Gatekeeper Extraordinaire by Cat McGuire & Colleen McGuire from Off-Guardian. My reaction: It is about time that an alternative weblog "outed" a fake critic who too often conforms to careerest (def.) expectations!

I viewed this 45 minute film last night and I highly recommend it. On 9/11/2001 I watched on TV the buildings of the World Trade Center come down, but I was already convinced that the collapse of buildings was a ruse to get Americans prepared for dramatic changes in foreign policy. Sure enough, people everywhere were shocked and prepared to do anything for their country. Gas station attendants in Oregon, where I was living at the time, insisted that their customers put patriotic stickers on their cars. Laws were rushed through Congress like the Patriot Act to grant government agencies to secure all kinds of records on Americans and the suspension of habeus corpus laws for alien Americans. Members of Congress who were concerned about the rush to pass these laws were targets for anthrax attacks. I felt very uncomfortable with this growing police state and relocated to Canada until 2006. About 1 1/2 years after 9/11, the US along with some allies had already invaded Iraq and Afghanistan. 
This film shows clear evidence that many architects and engineers were reluctant to challenge the governments flimsy excuses and reports by government agencies that gave approval to the official story of 9/11. They were intimidated into silence by the Deep State which controls nearly everything in the USA. Only after a decade did these professionals become involved and started to challenge the obvious inconsistencies and unscientific justifications of the official story.

With the assumption that mainstream reports are accurate regarding the current pandemic, I don't care of you read the article or not because the more informed readers will know beforehand the gist of this story as an illustration of how capitalism functions. Such readers already know the rest of the story. They will already know the socially dubious ways property owners have by taking advantage of public subsidies to acquire more of this type of intellectual property for their own, and their families', benefit.
But, aren't the authors indulging in a bit of confusing contradictions? Their only defense is an argument that matters of life and death deserve some suspensions of capitalist rules which "liberals" such as these authors like to argue. But this is a specious argument that soon collapses under the weight of another argument that people should be provided all necessary goods for their health and survivability such as shelter, food, sufficient clothing, and health care. But why stop there? 
Don't people need to be productive so that they can contribute to an economy that supplies these needs? The first thought that comes to mind is education, and then training in a productive specialty. Shouldn't all people have access to these fundamental needs? Is the capitalist system which considers all property, intellectual and real economic property, as privately owned and controlled to be used for their, and their families', benefit? Isn't this system, which has succeeded in bringing vast types of all property under private control for the benefit of a relatively few individuals and their families, considered almost sacred by it proponents, many of whom "own" much of this property? Because property rights are considered by such people as sacred, does this not justify in the minds of these people the right to exploit others, force others to comply with property owners ideas and demands with threats of harm, even maim or kill them? But you say, that is fascism! (Neo-fascism, which is prevalent today, relies more on controlling your mind with censorship and manipulation of information. However, if that doesn't work there is always the police and military to enforce compliance.)

In spite of the heavy censorship provided by media corporations, you might know that this happening everywhere in the world today. Given such thoughts, you might reconsider your commitment to capitalism by supporting efforts to end all property rights (except over personal property). But, you say in horror, that would be socialism/communism!
This collective type of ownership of economic property is often described as a alternative to capitalist enterprise, even as a revolutionary alternative for some enthusiastic supporters. The latter are usually employed in educational institutions and enjoy comfortable careers. 
Some 50+ years ago even I was taken in by their rhetoric. I studied them in the few obscure sources that I discovered, and even participated in a few collective type enterprises.  However, the proponents rhetoric failed to live up to the reality I encountered. Such enterprises barely survived, and most workers had to supplement their income from conventional sources of employment. Many failed or were taken over by private owners who turned them into conventional industries. 
It seems that conventional enterprises are supported by the legal, educational, and social institutions of capitalist countries and collective enterprises are not. This adversely affects collective enterprises in two decisive ways: 1) such enterprises could not compete with conventional enterprises because of lower costs of labor for the latter, and 2) many people who participate in these enterprises have experienced capitalist culture all their lives. 
The first difference results in the employment of people exclusively based on their philosophical preference of working in such a collective enterprise, but not on their skills or productivity, and because less productive members can't fired. The second reason resulted in workers who were socialized in selfishness and competitiveness of the larger culture and were unable to function effectively in a collective enterprise.
  • Dangerous Provocations Ahead for Iran by "Tony Cartalucci" from New Eastern Outlook. My reaction: Once again the author relies on a Brooking's document to demonstrate the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire's plans for Iran. This is sound because the ruling capitalist class never allows exposure to their plans in a mainstream source which are for self-serving propaganda purposes only.

Part 1 of this series on Operation Warp Speed and Race, “The Johns Hopkins, CDC Plan to Mask Medical Experimentation on Minorities as ‘Racial Justice,’” explored Warp Speed’s vaccine allocation plan in depth. That plan utilizes a phased approach aimed at “populations of focus” that had been identified in advance by various government organizations, including the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.

The main focus of this allocation strategy is to deliver vaccines first to racial minorities and in such a way as to make them feel “at ease” and not like “guinea pigs.” This is particularly glaring given that these minorities will be receiving an experimental vaccine that allocation-strategy documents admit is likely to cause “certain adverse effects . . . more frequently in certain population subgroups,” with research showing that those “subgroups” most at risk of experiencing adverse effects are these same racial minorities.
The fact that the Florida Department of Health is taking this step is a sign that an increasing number of health professionals and regulators are questioning the accuracy of the PCR test. The PCR is the most common lab test being used to detect COVID-19. This incredibly sensitive technique was developed by Berkeley scientist Kary Mullis, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1993. The test is designed to detect the presence of a virus by amplifying the virus’ genetic material so it can be detected by scientists. The test is viewed as the gold standard, however, it is not without problems.

Obviously, I don't agree with several arguments he makes, but I vigorously defends his right to express his views. I argue that he makes two fundamental mistakes. The first, it is not Big Pharma, etc. that is wrecking harm on this country and a number of others. It's Big Capitalism. The capitalist system which affirms the rights of private parties to own and control economic property portends what we have today: the overwhelming concentration of wealth and power in a very few hands. It is inevitable. Eventually the ruling capitalist classes must resort to ever greater amount of fascist-like control--censorship and manipulation of information which are the hallmarks of neofascism.
The second mistake he makes is that he assumes--no doubt, he learned this in schools--that we live in a democracy. It could be thought of as a capitalists' version of democracy, but it definitely isn't any real democracy where the people decide conflicting issues. Capitalism is the inverse of real democracy. The system gives power in the form of ownership and control over the economy to private individuals and their families.
  • An International Message of Hope for Humanity From RFK, Jr. featuring Robert Kennedy, Jr. asking for your support for his struggle against Big Capitalism (no, it's not Big Pharma,  Big Data, Big Oil, etc. (15:37m). Posted on Children's Health Defense. My reaction: Kennedy makes two fundamental errors and I've already pointed to one. The second is that capitalism is in contradiction to any real democracy. Allowing one class to privately own and control the economy is the other. Over time the system inevitably results in the concentration of power in a few hands that we see today. Thus, what we have is a fake democracy.
  • Richest 1% own 43% of global wealth, while billions have no wealth at all by Michael Roberts from Climate & Capitalism. My reaction: Under capitalism, ownership means control. Thus capitalists control 43% of economic decisions. I think this understates capitalist control of the world's economy which, I think, is much larger. But this is another indication that capitalists, who merely bet on, and loan money to, competing corporations that are largely run by comfortable and highly trained upper-middle-class technical workers, have won the war against the lower working classes and small business operators. However, due to the ever increasing attacks by corporations, the engines of capitalist accumulation, on the Earth's ecosystem, their victory will be of a Pyrrhic kind which will end in the extinction of humans and most other species. 
Recently this tiny group of capitalists has entertained fantasies about escaping to another planet after they have ruined Earth. However, because they ("capitalists", "oligarchs", "billionaires", etc.) are also humans which have evolved on planet Earth and there is no other planet like ours in which they can realistically access, these are just fantasies.
  • Infinite Spiders by John Steppling from his weblog. (Note: He gathers many of the most profound thinkers to offer insights, including his own, on the post-WWII development of our societies under capitalist ruling classes.) My reaction: I only scanned this article, but I gather from this scan that Steppling argues that advanced technology is being used by capitalist ruling classes for their own benefit (power and profits) instead of the benefit of the vast majority of people on our planet. I totally agree with him. Technology is neutral. It can be used for the benefit of people in general or it can be used by self-serving groups of people. Capitalism is a system that has used technology for the almost exclusive benefit of a tiny group of transnational capitalists located predominately in the powerful US/Anglo/Zionist Empire.

  • RFK Jr - The Big Question About C0VlD Vac3ines featuring Robert Kennedy, Jr. being interviewed by Ben Swann and posted on ISE. (Note: The "big question" is regarding the transmission of the Sars-2 corona virus which causes Covid-19 illness, but Kennedy also addresses at length a big censorship problem.) 
  • Soybean Shortage & Cyberattack on Food Supply Chain: Achilles’ Heel from Ice Age Farmer. (Note: The report by "Christian" relies on documentation from apparently reliable sources of information. But there are hints that the shortages are a bit contrived by the Great Reset project of the World Economic Forum, that is, the ruling class of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire, who will use cyber attacks to create food shortages as cover for their more pernicious attacks on our civil liberties. I don't want to contribute to a spread of panic, but I've noticed some food shortages from my local stores, and together with his documentation, I think something is going on.)
  • Bretton Woods 2.0 featuring Jame Corbett of The Corbett Report disclosing what he has discovered about the plan for a new digital currency. This is a best post. My commentary follows:
I think we should follow his website and his research efforts to learn about the new digital currencies that the directors of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire's ruling capitalist classes have promised in glowing phrases for us to use. He leans heavily on other experts such as John Titus and Steven Guinness to inform what he has learned. However, I want to criticize his limitations regarding the history of money and his earlier affirmation of anarchism. I don't know enough about his recent conversion to "Agorism" to see if that offers any prospects for the formation of a currency not controlled by the directors of the Empire.
Corbett's thinking on this issue has been shaped by higher education in Canada, one of the nations of the present capitalist Empire. He has earlier described himself as an anarchist. Anarchism is an acceptable form of opposition granted by the Empire's ruling class in the education in students of in their nations due to the fact that it encourages students to oppose officials of their governments, but not the powerful capitalists (a ruling class) behind the "curtain" of governments under their control. Thus, one notices that increasingly the critics of policies refer to "oligarchs" or "technocrats" (the term Corbett uses in this video) to refer to powerful capitalists (mostly financiers) who work behind the scenes to enact policies favorable to them in terms of power and profits. 
In addition, Corbett error's in describing nefarious motives to Harry Dexter White behind the earlier history of Britton Woods. This he learned from Canadian higher education which was loaded with anti-Soviet propaganda during the Cold War. The Britton Woods agreement was simply an acknowledgment that the Western capitalist powers led by the USA and what was left of the British Empire would lead a post-war regime which later became an anti-socialist empire, and still is today. I don't wish to claim virtues for the mixed economies of Russia, China, and their allies, but they are the only nations that are in opposition to the imperialist actions of the existing US/Anglo/Zionist Empire.

  •  Stealing Mineral Wealth for Corporate Interests: U.S. Bankrolled Mass Murder of Millions in Central Africa by Jeremy Kuzmarov from Internationalist 360°. (Note: I can only recommend this article as outstanding after perusing nearly 50 articles. Although this article is based on a single book, it has a ring of authenticity to it. I was around was around when President Lumumba of the Congo was assassinated in 1961, and knew about the CIA backing of this murder through more obscure publications on the left. Yes, the ruling class was censoring information that they didn't want people to know way back in 1961.)

The powerful ruling classes that have governed society during the last 10,000 years have always striven to shape the news, but in period since WWII the directors of the remaining capitalist nations (which began as the US combined with what was left of the British Empire) have more seriously shaped the news and information that has informed the general public in order to conform to their interests of power and profits. Read my commentary here for the development of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire since WWII. This development focused on shaping news and information, and censorship of real news; in other words, the intentional use of self-serving propaganda formed a prominent role in promoting the power and profits of this Empire.

  • The Problem With the COVID Vaccine | Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Explains .... (via YouTube) My reaction: His explanation is precisely how and why the ruling capitalist class (the "billionaire class" or the "oligarchy") has taken over the government. I haven't seen such an explanation by him anywhere on the web. It's because his explanation is dangerous--to him personally because he risks his own assassination.

  • The Elitists Who Control You featuring comedian and satirist JP Sears (via YouTube channel--to 7:28m) doing a parody on the ruling class (aka "elites") who are addicted to control (you). My reaction: He understands that more than wealth, control of you is what they're all about, that is, what really motivates them.
  • John Titus on Central Bank Digital Currencies featuring a James Corbett conducting a interview with Titus who explains what is currently going on with money, and what is planned in the Great Reset, and posted on The Corbett Report
(Note: I haven't thought about money for several years, and I needed this update. I would be presumptuous to claim that I understand his explanation about a phenomenon that has taken over 10,000 years to evolve into what is today--debt money. I thought I understood money, but I had so money questions that I wanted to ask Titus to clarify his explanations.  
I know that issuing digital money gives the Federal Reserve, which is owned by private bankers, near total control over us. I know that BIS, Bank of International Settlements, is a bank in Switzerland that serves a central bank to all central banks. I know that when, in 1971, the USA removed some gold backing from our currency, and instead replaced it with oil-backed petro-dollars in exchange for protecting Saudi Arabia, and their agreement to sell their oil only in US dollars (Kissinger largely engineered this arrangement). I know that when the Fed issues money, it does so by putting the USA deeper in debt to them with interest. I understood a little, but not much else of his explanations. I will revisit this subject, and I encourage you to do likewise by visiting the many links offered in Corbett's show notes and other links, especially links in my website by typing in "money" in the search boxes or accessing the label "money" near the right-hand bottom of the website or "Understanding money" page on the top right-hand side. It's time to revisit this vital subject, to update our understanding of it, and take control of this money-issue in order to ensure that it serves our interest instead of that of the interests of the financiers, the core of our ruling class.)

General Note: Due to advanced age, I haven't been able to keep up with all the machinations of the capitalist ruling class that has lied to us, manipulated our minds with psy-ops, and rewrote our history to serve their interests. I can no longer keep up the schedule as I have been for sometime, but I will continue to do the best I can. I've decided to post articles that I deem very important throughout my day as I discover them and as my energy holds up.
  • James Corbett on Medical Martial Law, Solutions and Agorism, a nearly one hour video of James Corbett mostly reviewing his research related to the current pandemic. This is a best post. (Note: At approximately 45:00 he responds to her question about Agorism. I don't agree with this philosophy, but I often post articles written by authors who I don't entirely agree with. Actually, this is often the case because I rarely agree with people on all subjects.)
Aimee Hoffman: James appears on Good Food UnEarthed to discuss his work on medical martial law, the erection of the biosecurity state and the agorist solutions to the tyranny-by-health-authority that is coming into view.
  • The Eugenicist Mindset Propelling Operation Warp Speed w/ Whitney Webb featuring a discussion between Ryan Cristián and Webb posted on The Last American Vagabond. This is a best post. (Note: If you missed last Wednesday's post (also on my website) that covers research by Jeremy Loffredo and Webb, you may be especially interested in this 1 1/2 hour discussion (the important substance is discussed well within one hour) in which they both point out the doubtful inconsistencies, if not contradictions, about recent articles in mainstream media as well as the history of ruling class racist policies. After a while it morphs into a more general discussion relating to the Great Reset, etc. There is also an audio recording of the discussion. This video starts around 1:36m and I found a few interruptions by technical problems.)

  • Zero Point: Our 4th Industrial Revolution Against Their Great Reset by Joaquin Flores from Strategic Culture Foundation. (I've removed this post after a careful reading of it.)
Creating the deal, sabotaging it, and using it as a pretext to pursue military aggression against Iran was always the plan - long before the JCPOA was ever signed. 
With prospects of the plan being revived already unlikely - and more so with this recent escalation - the only path left and just as Brookings in their 2009 paper planned years ago, is toward wider conflict between the US and Iran.
I think that the astute leadership in Iran understands the games the Empire plays.

  • Mad Dog Mattis not so mad with Globalist agenda, says America First is over (from The Duran) featuring Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris discussing Mattis's statement reported by RT: "General James Mattis wants to replace ‘America First’…with alliances that see ‘America equal, but more equal than others’" I don't think it is necessary to listen to more than eight minutes of this video. My criticism follows: 
They lampoon Mattis for making these statements which he obviously made to please the incoming administration of neoliberalists ("globalists", transnational interests of global corporations and finance organizations). What these two discussants don't understand is that the transnational capitalist class of the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire function in so many countries, and they don't like business dealings with so many countries which have different tariffs and regulations. For their convenience, they want them all to be the same. 
These capitalists (financiers, CEOs of corporations, etc.) have homes in many countries in which they travel to by private jets (without the necessity of wearing masks, social distancing, etc.), and they naturally see the world differently. They have no allegiance to any one nation, but they hold allegiance to the Empire which largely controls most of these more peripheral countries. The Empire controls most of these countries because they furnish them loans to them to buy their products. Most of the nations controlled by the Empire are indebted up to their necks in international finance organizations like the IMF, World Bank, and all the Western banks. These finance people of the Empire largely control the foreign and many domestic policies of these peripheral nations, and they are quintessentially neoliberals or "globalists".
  • Fascism - America's DNA featuring Prof. Gabriel Rockhil explaining fascism to host Chris Hodges on the latter's RT channel of YouTube. This is a best post. Although Hedges, according to his training in American academia, likes to present fascism as being exemplified by Trump and racist organizations (which tend to divide workers), Rockhill makes clear the ideological necessity of fascist-capitalism to ally itself with anti-worker organizations and ideologies influenced by socialist and communist parties who vigorously oppose private ownership of the economy or any government that serves the needs of the general public rather than the needs of capitalists. Hence, fascism is in the DNA of American capitalism.
... in May and June, although the number of new Covid cases steadily rose, the percentage of tests coming back positive declined, indicating that the rising case numbers were due less to increased cases than to increased testing. And while the media says (correctly) that the number of daily cases in November is setting records, they do not report that this is largely due to increased testing. The fraction of tests that are coming back positive, while rising, is on par with what the US experienced in mid May. 
We can blame this persistent lack of context on a perfect storm of politicians seeking to be “doing something,” media seeking to sell advertising, and people paying enough attention to be scared, but not enough to understand.
The authors blame the distorted presentation of data on the lack of context. But there are many contributing factors such as the faulty test of PCR (see this, this, and this from the inventor of the PCR test.) I regard the lack of context and all other distortions of data to have been deliberately performed by the US/Anglo/Zionist Empire's transnational (neoliberal) ruling class that has engaged in a new "9/11" project to spread fear among populations in order to prepare the groundwork for the Great Reset. The success that the Empire's ruling class has had with their exaggerated corona crisis is an illustration of their comprehensive power that I've often written about.

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.

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.

  • 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!
General Note: I ran out of time and energy to complete my 50+ websites to look for recommendations of credible articles from sources that are independent. Here are the websites that I did not get to:

Posts that I especially recommend today: Monday, November 23, 2020

  • 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.

Posts that I especially recommend today: Sunday, November 22, 2020

  • 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.
