EDITOR—A tour de force analysis of how the US Empire is imploding, as it fights its multiplying contradictions and the collapse of long-held myths giving it legitimacy—starting with the illusion of American democracy, freedom, and ruling class patriotism—while its military supremacy is also eroding fast and has actually been surpassed by peer nations such as Russia and China. In this context, the Western totalitarian ruling class sees no way out from the necessity of imposing ever more stringent censorship and repression on sectors of the population that insist on spreading “inconvenient truths”. Same extreme methods are being used to keep the Empire’s vassals in line, which the Empie is cannibilising. Trump obviously offers no real change, but, as a super imperialist anchored in nationalism, he promises to make the working class gets its share of the imperialist loot.

DECADENT IMPERIALISM: WITH JOTI BRAR EPISODE 16 – RUSSIA NORTH KOREA – LEGACY OF ANTI IMPERIALISM
110 Mins readEDITOR—A heartfelt and insightful discussion of what imperialism is all about, the struggles of socialist countries to gain and sustain sovereignty, and the accelerating rise of the global anti-imperialist bloc, led by China, Russia and Iran, precisely at a moment when the US-led “rules-based order” seems more unhinged, dangerous, and depraved than ever. Joti Brar, a leader of Britain’s Communist Party (ML), is eloquent and masterful in her analysis of North Korea’s heroic and exemplary struggle for survival and independence in the face of the most vicious enemy of humankind in modern times: US imperialism. With Russia as a formal ally, the people of North Korea can accelerate their development in all social and strategic fields, and no longer worry about diplomatic isolation, sadistic attacks or the strangulation of their revolution via starvation. Moscow, who has stood by North Korea since its birth, and has often been, and still is, like Pyongyang, the target of NATO’s depraved fury, fully understands her suffering, and also her immense value as a military ally.

GARLAND NIXON—The SK people had deposed US-puppet dictator Syngman Rhee in a massive popular uprising in April of 1960. Not long after the popular uprising, Park Chung Hee launched a military coup of the elected civilian government, taking power with 20 armed divisions and forcing the resignation of the civilian government. The leader of the army met with JFK on May 24th, and by June, the US had fully approved the coup. NK was worried Park would attack NK (he had spent the whole half of his early career trying to hunt down guerrilla leader Kim Il Sung in Manchuria for the Japanese imperial army. NK was worried about this, anticipated a new war by SK, and signed treaties of mutual aid with both the USSR and China by July of 1961.

EDITOR—The assassination of a Hezbollah division general by Israel (a common tactic of the Zionist entity) has prompted a redoubling of Hezbollah attacks on Israeli targets to demonstrate that such cowardly blows will have no effect on Hezbollah’s mission. The attacks by Hezbollah on Northern Palestine comprised even larger swarms of drones and missiles, aiming their weapons at key targets such an Israeli facility tasked with building armor for tanks and APCs. Hezbollah’s systematic attacks on Israel Iron Dome and other AD shields have “blinded” the IDF, making their assaults far less effective.
Speaking about the Israeli economy, Laith points out that Israel doesn’t have a real economy, since, without the West’s governments prodding and guarantees to businesses, most corporations would be loath to build important facilities in what is essentially an unstable war zone.
