GARLAND NIXON—Using their immense media/cultural power, the liberal establishment in the US, Britain and other “developed countries” in the West, have redefined the meaning of “the Left”. The upshot is a huge cultural and political theft. The “left” nowadays does not resemble the real, historical, Marxist or even liberal left at all. Today’s fake left is packed with zealous warmongers, compulsive free speech witch-hunters, it hates socialism, despises trade unions, can’t tell what a man or a woman is, and embraces all the core tenets of libertarianism, a form of latter-day Calvinism on steroids. The upshot is the disaster we witness today: society is disintegrating, war—including nuclear war—looms in every corner, the culture is desiccated and mostly uncreative, controlled by Wall Street bean-counters; artists, instead of rebels are cowards, sellouts, and conformists; and the political class is rotten to the core.

GARLAND NIXON—A debate between a man who has little, if any, understanding of complex geopolitical issues and a brain dead warmonger who was never the sharpest knife in the drawer has exposed the irreversible decline of the US empire.
If we use a baseball metaphor, Donald Trump looked like a pitcher coming off injured reserve who had trouble getting his pitches over the plate. Trump had one pitch, immigration, and that pitch was placed lazily and haphazardly throughout the debate in a manner that made him appear unprepared and not overly focused on winning the game. In the context of that same metaphor, Joe Biden looked like a player that had been dragged into the dugout and beaten mercilessly about the head and neck with a 54-ounce Louisville slugger.

EDITOR—While most of the collective West’s leaders are tumbling from power, Vladimir Putin is undeniably stronger than ever, notes Garland Nixon jocularly, attributing such course of events to the dreaded “Zelensky curse”, afflicting all leaders that once vociferously proclaimed their desire to topple the president of Russia. Garland also analyses the horrific implications of Biden’s (America’s) imperialist adventurism, which leads inexorably to WW3 and the end of humanity.

EDITOR—Garland discusses the tragicomic debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, one a semi-demented war criminal and crook barely able to remain coherent for a few minutes, and the other a narcissistic, massively ignorant buffoon who in his own bombastic way personalizes the appalling state of the US empire. Garland opines that the current Democrat runners of the empire are a sorry incompetent and sociopathic lot who seem utterly unable to extricate themselves and the country from the idiocies they have shoved the US in, from a growing spate of unwinnable wars, from Ukraine to Israel to China, to an election almost certain to lose, no matter who represents them—whether Biden, Kamala Harris, or another similarly unappealing candidate in the wings. From the latest pathetic selection of presidential candidates to the no-win, reckless and stupid policies pursued by the US across the globe, it’s clear the American Empire is fast approaching collapse. Such collapse, warns Garland, cannot be avoided by the injection of ever bigger lies into the social dialog, from the insane idea that Ukraine is winning the war, or that China and Russia are dangerous and evil players in international affairs, to the manufactured notion that anti-semitism (as opposed to anti-zionism) is on the rise, and that Israel, in the name of “self-defense”, is perfectly justified in using genocidal violence against the Palestinian people.

EDITOR—Garland and Marouf discuss the latest developments in the Middle East, especially the way Israel may precipitate a major regional and possibly global conflagration with its planned attack on Lebanon. The situation does not look that promising for Israel, which has suffered heavy losses in its genocidal war against Palestinians, despite US/NATO support, as the Axis of Resistance (Lebanon/Hezbollah), Iraq militias, the Houthis, and Iran, will not accept defeat this time under any circumstances.
