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. But the worst part or the summation of all these evils is that what passes for left today is almost unequivocally pro-imperialist.
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. Meanwhile, the last vestiges of authentic democracy have vanished, while the oligarchic forces have invaded every nook and cranny of the nation's key institutions and are now busily rewriting history.

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.
THE SETUP: The debate was moderated by accomplished ruling class insiders Jake Tapper and Dana Bash. Bash, is a Jewish woman who was born in Washington DC and just happens to be married to a guy who served as Chief of Staff for both the CIA and the Department of Defense. Tapper, who is also Jewish, was born in New York City and once served as press secretary for congressional democrat Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky (PA-13). There was no audience and the candidates were not allowed to interrupt each other. When each candidate spoke we were allowed to view the reaction of the other in a side by side screen view. In modern America, being Jewish does not automatically imply support for Zionism, but in this case both moderators have a long history of supporting the Zionist ideology along with an aggressive militaristic US foreign policy. This was clearly intended to be a debate that would in no way stray from the orthodoxy and dogma of empire and militarism.
THE VIEW: There are political analysts who argue that the most important part of the debate is what the audience sees. They claim that you can learn more by watching a debate with the sound off than listening to the conversation of the adversaries. If there is any merit to that argument, Joe Biden had a bad night. The President’s limp eyed open mouth stare created the appearance of a feeble weak old man who may not be able to attend to his daily needs of personal hygiene. Trump looked like.. well.. Trump. He was not particularly energetic and, in a split screen view with Joe Biden, looked to be struggling to decipher the incoherent mumblings of his opponent. This was a massive advantage to Trump.
THE DEBATE: The issue of the night was President Biden’s ability to mitigate the concerns about his competence, and in particular, to overcome the growing chorus of claims that he suffers from an irreversible cognitive decline. On this point, he crapped the bed in the worst possible way.
Biden looked dazed and confused. He was unable to maintain a coherent line of discussion and his words ran together in a manner that sounded like a drunk at closing time trying to convince his friends that he is sober enough to drive. He failed miserably, no keys for you Joe Biden, you’re taking an Uber home tonight. His cringe worthy attempts to go on the attack sounded something like “get off my lawn you little punks, and if your frisbee comes over this fence again I’m keeping it.” Trump mostly avoided the obvious freak show and seemed to spend most of his time straining to understand Biden’s comments, as did we all. Trump was a one trick pony who turned every question into a referendum on immigration. His narcissistic tendencies were glaring as he constantly referred to his alleged accomplishments as the best, greatest ever, and pretty much unmatched in human history. It was clear that Trump had spent little time in preparation and was content to run through his limited list of talking points regardless of whether they were relevant to the issue at hand. Trump was lazy, Biden was intellectually incoherent. Massive…INCALCULABLE advantage to Trump. If there is a single working brain cell amongst the democratic party elites (and I am not convinced that there is) this was a stake through the heart of the Biden campaign. BUT THEN AGAIN…
THE CONSPIRACY THEORY: It’s difficult to imagine a scenario in which the oligarchs were shocked by the outcome of the debate. Joe Biden has been in clear and obvious cognitive decline for years. It was a topic of constant discussion in the alternative media sphere and mainstream articles alleging that he was sharp behind closed doors paradoxically exposed his supporters acknowledgement that the discussion was legitimate. These people worked around Biden on a daily basis and they clearly knew, long ago, that he was “losing his fastball,” to be charitable. That being the case, the blatant rigging of the primaries makes perfect sense. If the elites knew that they were going to replace the President over the summer they could not allow a contender that may not suit the machinations of the neoliberal war machine. RFK Jr. was easy to scrub from the scene. After the October 8th incident, RFK Jr took the position of the ruling elite which was both politically suicidal in that it infuriated his base and setup the conditions for them to insert a CIA operative as his campaign chair. After Dennis Kucinich resigned, RFK Jr brought in former CIA officer Amaryllis Fox Kennedy to run his campaign.
Spurious Spy Now Runs RFK, Jr. Campaign BY SETH HETTENA
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s campaign for president is now being run by his daughter-in-law, who happens to be a former employee of the CIA—the same agency that RFK Jr. believes played a role in the 1963 murder of his uncle, the 35th president, and his father…
Her book “Life Undercover: Coming of Age in the CIA” implies the obvious. At any rate, “someone” then convinced Kennedy to exit the Democratic primaries and run as an independent which opened the door for total oligarchic control of the primaries. A number of states then announced that, even though Marianne Williamson and Dean Smith were running in the primaries, they would not allow their names to be placed on the primary ballot and the primaries were effectively rigged. The elites had a clear path to scrap Joe Biden at a time of their choosing and there would be no one in second place to argue that they must be considered as a replacement. In that context, the debate was a setup. They put Joe Biden in a position that they knew would expose his obvious shortcomings and they could then have an open debate about who THEY would replace him with ZERO input from the voters. A perfect storm of elitism and the end of the illusion of democracy. A plan that is so brilliant that the dupes would thank and support their rulers for ending any hope of democratic participation. The greatest con is one in which the mark thanks the con man for taking their money. Their plan was brilliantly diabolical and seems to have worked on a political cult that was so gaslit and brainwashed with Russia gate that they would believe that Martians interfered with the election on behalf of Trump if Rachel Maddow gave them the green light.
"Journalists" Jake Tapper and Dana Bash—two reliable Zionist imperialists pitching the questions. The Empire managers didn't have to worry.
POST ELECTION PROPAGANDA: The media was clearly given a narrative to insert after the mother of all debacles for Joe Biden. Donald Trump is an evil liar and Joe Biden, despite his obvious short comings, is a decent human being who was merely a victim of a cold, a lifelong stutter, and possibly.. just maybe.. a teeny weeny bit of cognitive decline. But after all, who would you rather have, a good guy who makes a few minor errors in good faith or an evil pathological liar. The interesting twist to this fable is that the party elites are open and honest about Biden’s issue while the every day voters post memes such as this.
The party rank and file is so brainwashed that their leaders can openly admit that Biden is damn near catatonic and they will grasp pathetic super hero memes that defy reality. I present this as incontrovertible evidence that the US political parties have become little more than brainwashed cults.
LOOKING FORWARD: This prediction is easy. The party elites will replace Joe Biden. The most likely choice is the guy that they have been parading around for the last year as a shadow nominee. The fact that we were told in February that Gavin Newsome would not replace Joe Biden makes it clear that he is the choice and the setup is almost complete. The last domino to fall is to double down on the lawfare against Donald Trump, jail or otherwise remove him from the race, and make sure that the GOP presents some iteration of John McCain (Nikki Haley?) in a “heads we win tales you lose” scenario for the voters.

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.
As Spengler, writing for Asia Times noted today,
For the first time since modern European states were defined by the Treaty of Westphalia, every government of every major Western country is falling or would fall if it had to hold elections. What collective curse has befallen the leaders of the West such that all of their voters have come to despise them by enormous margins?
Adding,
The damage to the world’s political class is breathtaking.
Garland also explores the implications of what Joe Biden said during the debate, that Russia had to be defeated in Ukraine because otherwise Moscow would not stop there and roll all over Europe. That is a filthy lie as Moscow has no intention or interest in conquering Europe, unless supremely provoked. But, assuming Moscow did what Biden is saying, that would trigger a unified response by the West, signifying World War 3. However this is a war that the Western bloc would not win either, and facing defeat, would attack Russia with all its nuclear weapons. At that point, NATO would not only attack Russia, but China and North Korea as well—all members of a mutual defense alliance. Moscow's response, by necessity of its military doctrine that prescribes the use of nuclear weapons should the Russian state be threateed, would be an all out launch of its nuclear arsenal, and THAT would mean the end of the world, as we know it. That is why what Biden said in that debate is either the most dangerous lie of all, or the most dangerous truth in our time. Either way, if humanity is to survive, a regime change in Washington, or a drastic change of course in "the collective West" is absolutely necessary.

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. He judges this debate a sure symbol of the Empire's decrepitude.
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.

MIDDLE EAST IN DEPTH EPISODE 19 - ISRAEL THREATENS WIDER WAR
Garland Nixon Streamed live on Jun 25, 2024 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.
