the establishment media is an enabler of endless wars and illegitimate oligarchic power

Ukraine struggles to defend against Russian invasion as aid dries up
Which brings us to this pathetic attempt at naked manipulation, as the goals of the Empire and the Democrats (the current "War Party"), clearly coincide. The Biden gang, momentarily distracted by their depraved investment in the Gaza genocide, would love to keep the Ukraine war going as long as possible to prevent an embarrassing collapse right before the 2024 election. They will probably lose anyway. For its part, the Deep State, in charge of managing the Empire of Lies big portfolio, finally cognizant that the war is lost, is busy trying to carve up some more time in Ukraine to secure a plausibly dignified off-ramp. Hence all this cynical noise we keep hearing in some quarters about the "need" to support Ukraine to fight as long as possible in our behalf, or soon Putin will take over Europe and our boys will have to fight and die "over there" to stop the big ugly Russian bear. How many times have we seen this lousy movie before?
Our audience will not be surprised to hear that some of the most despicable Neocons have been at the forefront of this psyop for quite some time. Indeed political excrement like Lindsey Graham and Adam Schiff —and of late Nikki Haley—have been busy drumming up support for an endless war on Russia, "to fight them over there", yea, this is their rational option, which shows this is a fully systemic bipartisan goal. All of which is only logical as per the insane logic of the Empire. The US military industrial complex (which owns practically all politicians and big media, among other things, not to mention cutouts like NATO), is the most profitable and influential enterprise in the collective West. It is also the backbone of what remains of America's industrial economy. Like rust in some old ships, often present in every nook and cranny, if you scrape it off, they'll sink. It's the main thing that keeps them afloat. The vast implications of the latter fact have been explored by a number of Pentagon critics, few as eloquent as Joan Roelofs, who certainly deserves a much bigger audience. Our associate editor, Jeff Brown, brought her to our attention on Dec 9, 2023. Be sure to have a look:
JOAN ROELOFS SHARES HER NEW BOOK, “THE TRILLION DOLLAR SILENCER: WHY THERE IS SO LITTLE ANTI-WAR PROTEST IN THE UNITED STATES”.
Joan sketches out the subtle ways the military has embedded itself in US society.
