7/12/2024 Episode 95 of Blowback: Exposing Imperial Decline with special guest Jeff Brown.*
The roundtable discusses Biden's carefully scripted but underwhelming "Big Boy" press conference, which, to no one's surprise, turned out much more an electoral campaign speech—often mumbled—than a presidential presser, the whole concoction punctuated by hilarious gaffes that Biden's mental deterioration now make almost inevitable (like confusing Zelensky with Putin—of all people). In addition, guest Jeff Brown paints a comprehensive picture of the global strategic situation, with a focus on Asia, where America's futile attempts to surround China with military bases and alliances in order to stop its rise to global prominence, (already a fait accompli), is opening yet another front for a major kinetic war threatening humanity with nuclear Armageddon. Meanwhile, in France, in an election characterised by appalling dishonesty and cynical machinations, a phenom certainly not unique to France or others parts of the so called "democratic West", and most certainly rampant in the US, "the Left" (these days an elusive term) was pronounced the victor, despite the fact that all the available data show that the country is leaning heavily to the right. Alas, that spells chaos, paralysis and trouble says Jeff Brown, and an uncertain future for one of the EU's key nations.
