Truman: probably the worst president ever, although in criminality he has robust competition.
Why the U.S. Regime and Its Colonies Hide the Reality from their Public
The central reality ever since Harry S. Truman started the Cold War on 25 July 1945has been and is that the U.S. Government is determined to capture Russia in order to culminate and satisfy the craving that America’s billionaires (who control the U.S. Government via their ‘news’-media, think tanks, and other propaganda-agencies) have, to achieve the world’s first-ever all-encompassing and unchallengeable global empire (it’s called “U.S. hegemony”). Just months after Hitler died with that dream for Germany’s Government, Truman took up this banner for America’s Government. It’s too ugly a fact for the empire to allow the public to know. This fact explains not only the U.S. regime’s secretly protecting thousands of ‘former’ Nazis and hiring them for work against the Soviet Union (which had no similar program of hiring Nazis to work against the U.S.), but also the nearly a hundred post-WW2 coups and over 130 U.S. military invasions and occupations of countries throughout the world after WW2 — clearly the world’s most aggressive country ever, with the only possible exception having been Hitler’s Germany. But within the U.S. empire (the U.S. and its nearly 50 colonies), it is unknown because strictly prohibited to assert and even more strictly prohibited to document (think, for example, of the thousands of ‘classified’ documents from 1945 to 1955 — more than 65 years ago — that still are hidden by the U.S. Government and its satellites, and of the uncounted thousands of others that have been released only recently and so heavily expurgated as to be virtually uninterpretable). Why does the U.S. Congress not pass a law forcing the U.S. Government to publish ALL documents in its possession that are more than 30 years old? Why don’t its ‘allies’ do it? And they have the nerve to call themselves democracies! (And to call the nations they aim yet to conquer ‘autocracies’ or ‘dictatorships’!) Only fools can trust such hypocritical regimes, because these Governments lie about themselves vastly more than other Governments do — they have to do it in order to remain in power ‘democratically’ (meaning with elections).
The second fact they hide is the falsehood of the belief that a multi-Party Government is necessarily more democratic than a one-Party Government is. By hiding the falsehood of that allegation, they falsely allege that they themselves ARE a “democracy” because they have multiple Parties (representing different factions within the aristocracy). The ridiculousness of that falsehood is now painfully evident in the indisputable fact that in both the U.S. itself and its main colleague the UK, the two Parties that vie for power — Democrats versus Republicans, and Labour versus Conservative — are indistinguishable from one-another on the key ideological matters:each of the four Parties is the very embodiment of neoliberalism in domestic policies and of neoconservatism in foreign policies. The liberal billionaires and the conservative billionaires are solidly both neoliberal and neoconservative. And ALL billionaires are both neoliberals and neoconservatives (which is why our Governments are). That’s a “democracy”? It is instead a voracious empire, which is ruled on behalf of its billionaires — not of the public.
A regime of "democracy" that is all form and no substance. A cunning oligarchy that relishes empty symbols devoid of real power. Like Barack Obama.
317 miles away, Kotka Finland is now America’s fallback position, 507 miles away. This is real geostrategy, not the fake stuff (such as Annie Jacobsen’s potboiler Nuclear War: A Scenario, which provides an extremely unlikely scenario for WW3’s start, which presumes there’s no imperialistic intent on the part of America’s Government — it’s just nice people making mistakes — and so, her book is, to that extent, divorced from reality — this being the reality that is hidden throughout the U.S. empire).
A personal friend, a U.S. veteran, emailed me today saying,
Because of Ukraine funding which includes medical care for their wounded, American veterans are being denied health care.
Biden instituted a hiring freeze at VA facilities [see about that here] which has led to appointments for emergency critical care to be 6 months wait or longer which in some cases guarantees death.
I have personal experience in this area, as I am a disabled veteran and found this to be not only true but to get my VA doctor to take a phone call required me calling my member of congress and having her intercede.
When he called back he said to not even try to get care and to use my civilian insurance (which I and very few others am lucky enough to have) and go to a hospital emergency room.
Of course, “Emergency room care costs 12 to 18 times as much as a visit to a retail health clinic, eight to 12 times as much as a visit to a doctor’s office and six to seven times more than an urgent care visit.” So: America’s healthcare system is by far the world’s least efficient, because the Government is incredibly corrupt, which is the way things are in any aristocracy, and America is extremely so.
It’s just not being reported to the public, though the signs of it are. For example: on 7 November 2023, Axios headlined “U.S. health outcomes worse than OECD nations on most measures”, which was actually an understatement of the facts:
The U.S. performs worse than the average developed nation on 77% of health status indicators like life expectancy, obesity and opioid mortality rate, according to an Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development report.
Why it matters: U.S. health spending as a share of gross domestic product yet again far outpaces the other 37 OECD nations while the country continues to have poor outcomes, the OECD Health at a Glance 2023 report shows.
By the numbers: The U.S. ranks 33 out of 38 OECD countries for average life expectancy, after recording one of the largest decreases between 2019 and 2021.
Virtually the only thing that all U.S. billionaires demand from their Government is for it to spend vastly more on ‘defense’ than all other countries do (which means to cut necessary services to the public). And, on top of that, they want it to spend more on healthcare than any other country does. They’ve invested heavily in those sorts of things, and are more concerned about their profits than they are about the country they live in.
The Democrats blame the Republicans, and the Republicans blame the Democrats — and neither blames the billionaires, who actually run both.

Why George Clooney, Peter Welch, and the New York Times, Are dangerous
Only a Second, Class-based, American Revolution can liberate Americans and humanity from a lethal tyranny.
Liberals in general, and Hollywood shitlibs in particular, cannot be taken seriously, except as dangerous obstacles to a more genuine democracy.
I opposed the invasion of Iraq by Bush in 2003 — which destroyed that country — even before it was perpetrated. George Clooney, Peter Welch, the New York Times, and other liars or fools of liars, did not.
bombing of Libya by Obama in 2011 — which destroyed that country — even before it was perpetrated. George Clooney, Peter Welch, the New York Times, and other liars or fools of liars, did not.
I opposed the U.S. arming of Al Qaeda in Syria in order to overthrow Assad in 2012 by Obama — which destroyed that country — even before it was perpetrated. George Clooney, Peter Welch, the New York Times, and other liars or fools of liars, did not.
I opposed the U.S. coup that was perpetrated in 2014 by Obama, Clinton, and Biden, against Ukraine in order to place U.S. missiles there to blitz-nuke The Kremlin — which destroyed Ukraine — even before it was perpetrated. George Clooney, Peter Welch, the New York Times, and other liars or fools of liars, did not.
George Clooney says of our present neoconservative-in-chief, “I love Joe Biden. As a senator. As a vice president and as president. I consider him a friend, and I believe in him. Believe in his character. Believe in his morals.” I do not, and I would never sink so low as to say such a thing as that.
Peter Welch says of our present neoconservative-in-chief, “I have great respect for President Biden. He saved our country from a tyrant. He is a man of uncommon decency. He cares deeply about our democracy. He has been one of the best presidents of our time.” (He thinks that Obama was the best.) I do not, and I would never sink so low as to say such a thing as that.
The New York Times says that we must vote for Biden because Trump is supposedly even worse: “HE IS DANGEROUS IN WORD, DEED AND ACTION: DONALD TRUMP IS UNFIT TO LEAD”. Instead, they want us to vote for the most corrupt President in all of U.S. history.

U.S. SecDef Lloyd Austin’s NATO Speech Lies
Eric Zuesse

The corruption of capitalism is incarnate in Lloyd Austin, the "general from Raytheon", a major weapons contractor.
https://ericzuesse.substack.com/p/us-secdef-lloyd-austins-nato-speech
https://theduran.com/u-s-secdef-lloyd-austins-nato-speech-lies/
Eric Zuesse (blogs at https://theduran.com/author/eric-zuesse/)
In an enthusiastically received speech on July 10th to the Washington DC 75th Anniversary NATO Summit, U.S. Secretary of Defense and ‘former’ Raytheon Corporation board member Lloyd Austin strung together lies by the U.S. empire in order to reverse the imperialistic guilt of the U.S. Government for starting the Cold War in order to conquer and take over the entire world, and to pretend that instead the Cold War was and remains an ideological communist-versus-capitalist war in which the Soviet Union was the aggressor, but has now become after 2000 a war between nations that Austin calls “democracies” (which today’s America clearly is not), on the one hand, and nations that he simply assumes are not, on the other.
Appropriately for his lying ‘history’ of this war since 25 July 1945, he twice referred to its creator on 25 July 1945, U.S. President Truman, whose 4 April 1949 “Address on the Occasion of Signing the North Atlantic Treaty” (the NATO Treaty), stated:
Twice in recent years, nations have felt the sickening blow of unprovoked aggression. Our peoples, to whom our governments are responsible, demand that these things shall not happen again.
We are determined that they shall not happen again.
In taking steps to prevent aggression against our own peoples, we have no purpose of aggression against other peoples. To suggest the contrary is to slander our institutions and defame our ideals and our aspirations.
According to the CIA-edited and written Wikipedia (which blacklists (blocks from linking to) sites that aren’t CIA-approved), in its article “List of wars involving the Soviet Union”, during the entire time-span between “1944-1960s”, that list includes only these wars:
Anti-communist insurgencies in Central and Eastern Europe[citation needed]
Guerrilla war in Ukraine (Part of World War II from 1944 to 1945)
Guerrilla war in the Baltic states
Anti-communist resistance in Poland (1944–1953)
Listed as the aggressors in them were:
Soviet Union
East Germany
Polish People's Republic
Czechoslovak Socialist Republic
Hungarian People's Republic
Socialist Republic of Romania
People's Republic of Bulgaria
Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia
Those were the nations that the Soviet Union had liberated from Hitler.
Listed as the defenders (not the aggressors) in these wars were:
Ukrainian Insurgents
Polish Insurgents
Estonian Insurgents
Latvian Insurgents
Lithuanian Insurgents
Bulgarian Insurgents
Those ‘insurgents’ (or ‘guerillas’) were predominantly — and in some nations almost entirely — the forces that were fighting on Hitler’s side in his Operation Barbarossa to conquer the Soviet Union.
When Truman, in his 4 April 1949 “Address on the Occasion of Signing the North Atlantic Treaty”, asserted that “Twice in recent years, nations have felt the sickening blow of unprovoked aggression,” he never made clear which of those wars by the Soviet Union defending itself against Hitler’s Operation Barbarossa invasion constituted those “Twice in recent years, nations have felt the sickening blow of unprovoked aggression.” It wasn’t Hitler who had done the “unprovoked aggression”? And that was America’s President right after the passionate opponent of Hitler, FDR, died.
Already at the founding of NATO, this creation by the Nazi Truman was an extension from Operation Barbarossa by Truman’s United States Government, in order to take over the world, starting with taking over Russia, which had been America’s most important ally during WW2 under President FDR.
Both FDR and Churchill acknowledged that the coming victory against Hitler was more by the Soviet Union than it was by even the entirety of The West. Near the beginning of FDR’s lengthy fireside chat to the nation on 28 April 1942, he said: “On the European front the most important development of the past year has been without question the crushing counteroffensive on the part of the great armies of Russia against the powerful German Army. These Russian forces have destroyed and are destroying more armed power of our enemies — troops, planes, tanks, and guns — than all the other United Nations [by which he at that time was referring only to the U.S. and the UK’s empire, because he hadn’t yet even met Stalin] put together.” (NOTE: He was already using the phrase “United Nations” with the objective in mind for all of the world’s nations to view themselves as having been saved by the U.N. that FDR was intending ultimately to replace all empires and to be the sole source of international laws.) Near the War’s end, on 19 September 1944, Churchill telegrammed to Stalin “that it is the Russian army that tore the guts out of the German military machine and is at the present moment holding by far the larger portion of the enemy on its front.” As the History Channel’s article “Operation Barbarossa” summed-up: “On 22 June 1941, German forces began their invasion of the Soviet Union, … the most powerful invasion force in history, … 80% of the German army ... [plus] 30 divisions of Finnish and Romanian troops. … By the time Germany officially surrendered to the Allies on 8 May 1945, 80% of its casualties during WW2 had come on the Eastern Front [the Soviet Union].” Even Wikipedia’s “Operation Barbarossa” said “The failure of Operation Barbarossa reversed the fortunes of the Third Reich.[30]” However, on 8 May 2020, U.S. President Donald Trump tweeted “On May 8, 1945, America and Great Britain had victory over the Nazis! America's spirit will always win. In the end, that's what happens.” So goes the myth (which is cited by both Democratic and Republican politicians), but certainly not the history.
Furthermore: what was Truman referring to by his “Twice in recent years, nations have felt the sickening blow of unprovoked aggression”? He never said, but why did he call the Soviet Union’s victories against Hitler “unprovoked aggression”? It had been Hitler — and not Stalin — who invaded in Operation Barbarossa, and Stalin — not Hitler — who were defending there. This is how much of an American nazi Mr. Truman had become so soon after he had made the decision on 25 July 1945 for the U.S. Government to take over the entire world. If anything is “sickening” in that statement by him, it is Truman himself.
On that date, 25 July 1945, Truman told the Soviet Union’s leader Joseph Stalin that the U.S. Government would not recognize the legitimacy of its control over the countries that it had conquered from Hitler unless the U.S. Government was granted veto-power over the Soviet Union’s decisions regarding those Governments (both their internal and external affairs); and, in Truman’s letter that night to his wife, Bess, he even gloated over this, by saying:
We are determined that they shall not happen again.
In taking steps to prevent aggression against our own peoples, we have no purpose of aggression against other peoples. To suggest the contrary is to slander our institutions and defame our ideals and our aspirations.
Guerrilla war in Ukraine (Part of World War II from 1944 to 1945)
Guerrilla war in the Baltic states
Anti-communist resistance in Poland (1944–1953)
East Germany
Polish People's Republic
Czechoslovak Socialist Republic
Hungarian People's Republic
Socialist Republic of Romania
People's Republic of Bulgaria
Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia
Polish Insurgents
Estonian Insurgents
Latvian Insurgents
Lithuanian Insurgents
Bulgarian Insurgents
Russia and Poland have gobbled up a big hunk of Germany and want Britain and us to agree. I have flatly refused. We have unalterably opposed the recognition of police governments in the Germany Axis countries. I told Stalin that until we had free access to those countries and our nationals had their property rights restored, so far as we were concerned there'd never be recognition. He seems to like it when I hit him with a hammer.
Suddenly, the amicable relationship between the U.S. and U.S.S.R., which had prevailed throughout FDR’s three terms in office, and which had won WW2 for the Allies, and which FDR had been planning to continue afterward under the U.N. that FDR had been carefully planning during August 1941 till his death on 12 April 1945, ended in a crash of mutual hostility, because Stalin couldn’t accept Truman’s demand, any more than Truman would have accepted a similar demand from Stalin about the nations that America and its colonies such as the UK had conquered in Europe. Stalin (like FDR would have done if he had survived) made no such demand upon Truman or anyone else, and from that date forward Stalin recognized that unless he could change Truman’s mind on this (which never happened), the U.S. Government would be at war against the Soviet Government. It turned out to be (on the American side at least) a war not actually between capitalism versus communism (as Truman propagandized it to be) but instead between the U.S. against the entire world — to take all of it — as was made clear when U.S. President GHW Bush started, on 24 February 1990, secretly instructing his stooge leaders, such as Helmut Kohl and Francois Mitterrand, that their war against the soon-no-longer-communist Russia would secretly continue until it too becomes a part of the U.S. empire.
Furthermore: whereas there was lots of friction between FDR and Churchill because FDR was an impassioned anti-imperialist and Churchill was an equally impassioned imperialist, FDR’s relationship with Stalin was superb, because both of them were equally impassioned anti-imperialists — about which fact Truman and his followers have been lying constantly.
The current war inside Ukraine — about which Mr. Austin’s speech largely focuses — started with U.S. President Barack Obama’s coup there in 2014, but had been in preparation ever since the Truman Administration. I detailed that fact here.
Austin’s speech was loaded with lies, but I will stop here, because that’s enough to demonstrate his propagandistic intent.
- In cynicism and power, the US propaganda machine easily surpasses Orwells Ministry of Truth.
- Now the fight against anti-semitism is being weaponised as a new sanctimonious McCarthyism.
- Unless opposed, neither justice nor our Constitutional right to Free Speech will survive this assault.

How can RFK Jr. justify this outrageous statement of his?
Eric Zuesse
| Resize text-+= |
RFK Jr lost substantial support on account of his stubborn pro-Israel apologetics.
To the question, asked of him on 27 June 2024, “Do you support the creation of an independent Palestinian state?” he replied:
His answer was duplicitous. At 1:03:52 he had condemned “the neocon ideology, which is bankrupting our country” (which is true), then said, “That money is not being used for self-defense. That money is used for world domination and to make America the policeman of the world. NATO is the instrument of that. I am not going to abolish NATO.” So: he won’t abolish the instrument of America’s being the policeman of the world. Clearly, then, he’s not really against neoconservatism. But he continued there as-if it’s not so: “I’m going to change the function of NATO so that it becomes an instrument of peace.” In other words, the NATO military alliance against Russia, which was set up as such (a U.S. instrument of the Cold War) by the NATO Treaty of 1949, is going to “become an instrument of peace” — which NATO has always pretended to be, even after the Soviet Union ended in 1991. That’s just as duplicitous as his saying, “I think that that has to be decided between Israel and Palestine.” RFK Jr. is utterly ignoring the Nakba, which was the founding of Israel by massive ethnic cleansing to relocate and get rid of the non-Jewish native population (who constituted the vast majority of the residents, and had for thousands of years). Israel was an imperialistic operation supported by the Christian-majority nations after they had slaughtered millions of Jews and wouldn’t allow more than a token amount of the survivors into their own country as immigrants, and so helped to set up Palestine to dump them into as a ‘return home’ to a tribe that hadn’t ruled anywhere there for thousands of years — and who were now ethnically-cleansing out the people who were there for thousands of years. Israel was actually created by Truman (who believed the Bible) despite what had been the intentions of FDR (who did not, and who was very opposed to Zionism as being an imperialist operation in Palestine). RFK Jr. said nothing about Israel’s current ethnic cleansing or genocide against all of the 2.3 million residents in Gaza, which is being carried out now by Israeli troops armed by the United States. Instead, (at 59:57) he called Hamas “a genocidal organization” — though it carries out no genocide though Israel since 1948 has been carrying out ethnic cleansing against Palestinians and now aims to eliminate (by ethnic cleansing if not outright genocide) all Gazans.
How can one interpret RFK Jr.?
On 17 November 2023, I had headlined “RFK Jr. Is a Neocon, After All. (How he justifies Biden’s Israel-policy:)”, and reported:
Hamas has made a statement, claiming that the potential for a ceasefire in Gaza rests entirely in the hands of the US. RT correspondent Saskia Taylor investigates the underlying reasons behind Washington backing Israel and Ukraine.

[VIDEO without any title]
10 November 2023 [not only poorly publicized by RT, but kept secret by the U.S. regime, and even blocked from any Web-finds, and even rejected — not copyable — at web.archive.org and archive.is and ghostarchive.org — and thus almost totally secret: even to historians who have to rely heavily upon the web-archives: it’s gone down the memory-hole:]
And he did actually say it. Further researching the present article, I found this, which includesthat, and also much more, aligning the U.S. Government entirely with Israel against the Palestinians:
42:25-44:17 the rabidly imperialistic excerpts that are shown in this very good 5-minute Russian video clip:
36:47-38:24 Kennedy’s rabidly anti-Muslim statements to the effect that the U.S. Government has a right to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries — countries with values and internal priorities that are supposedly less democratic than in America (which is, in fact, a scientifically proven dictatorship by-and-for our billionaires) — so that he is (though he doesn’t view himself as being) an American international supremacist — a neocon, a U.S. imperialist — in his thinking. He might be a brilliant, phenomenally gifted, and even well-intentioned person, who isn’t really aware of his own prejudices (in this case pro-Christian, pro-Jew, anti-Muslim — especially anti-Shiite), and this prejudice, which he accepts unquestioningly, causes him to favor Israel against Iran and against the Gazans. It doesn’t bode well for what type of U.S. President he’d make.
He constantly refers to that apartheid nation (which he denies it is) as being “the only democracy in the Middle East” — as-if international relations ought not to be based on ONLYinternational and never intranational matters (such as whether a given foreign Government is or isn’t ‘democratic’ — however one defines that). He says he’s against Hamas because it’s a dictatorship. Maybe he doesn’t know that, even in the West Bank, Hamas after the October 7th attack is vastly preferred to the U.S.-backed so-called Palestinian Authority:
57% of respondents in Gaza and 82% in the West Bank believe Hamas was correct in launching the October attack, the poll indicated. A large majority believed Hamas’ claims that it acted to defend a major Islamic shrine in Jerusalem against Jewish extremists and win the release of Palestinian prisoners. Only 10% said they believed Hamas has committed war crimes. …
88% want Abbas to resign, up by 10 percentage points from three months ago. In the West Bank, 92% called for the resignation of the octogenarian. … nearly 60% now saying it [the Palestinian Authority] should be dissolved. In the West Bank, [the U.S.-Government-backed] Abbas’ continued security coordination with Israel’s military against Hamas, his bitter political rival, is widely unpopular [amongst Palestinians even in the West Bank]. …
So, Hamas now does truly represent the vast majority of Palestinians, not merely in Gaza, but in the West Bank.
Similarly, the organizers of the 19 April 1943 to 16 May 1943 (29 days long) Warsaw Ghetto uprising had massive public support among the Jews there who righteously wanted as many Nazis (Germany’s type of nazis, not Israel’s, which are instead Zionists) killed as possible. Is RFK Jr. against the organizers of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising? Why not — if he supports Israel against Palestinians?
By this time, Biden’s, and anyone else’s, claimed support for “the two-state solution” is and can only be, pure propaganda, a lie, because now it’s strongly opposed by BOTH sides to the conflict. For example, see the very latest poll of Palestinians about this, “Public Opinion Poll No (92)”, which was published on July 10th, which had sampled 750 West-Bankers and 750 Gazans, both groups of Palestinians strongly support Hamas and oppose Fateh (the U.S.-and-U.N.-supported faction) and both support the October 7th attack by Hamas. How can this be understood? Only by the history of how this war started:
On 4 December 1948, a letter to the New York Times by Albert Einstein and other anti-Zionist Jews, was published calling Menachem Begin — Netanyahu’s hero — calling him the leader of a “Nazi and Fascist” Party, and warned that “Before irreparable damage is done by way of financial contributions, public manifestations in Begin’s behalf, and the creation in Palestine of the impression that a large segment of America supports Fascist elements in Israel, the American public must be informed as to the record and objectives of Mr. Begin and his movement.” They wrote that “A shocking example was their behavior in the Arab village of Deir Yassin. This village, off the main roads and surrounded by Jewish lands, had taken no part in the war, and had even fought off Arab bands who wanted to use the village as their base.” The massacre of all residents was described. The letter then continued: “The discrepancies between the bold claims now being made by Begin and his party, and their record of past performance in Palestine bear the imprint of no ordinary political party. This is the unmistakable stamp of a Fascist party for whom terrorism (against Jews, Arabs, and British alike), and misrepresentation are means, and a ‘Leader State’ is the goal.” It didn’t mention Yitzak Shamir, the founder of Netanyahu’s Likud Party, who had joined Begin’s Freedom Party in August 1948, and who, like Begin, led massacres and then became elected as Israel’s Prime Minister. This is the nation to which Harry Truman gave birth.
Let’s remember that — at the end — in the Warsaw Ghetto, Jews, knowing that the Nazis were going to kill all of them, decided to kill all of the Nazis they could, rather than to capitulate peacefully. RFK Jr.’s statements disallow the Gazans to do the same thing that those desperate Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto did against their rabid, racist, oppressors.
But, regardless, the Zionist (Jewish-nazi) trick of equating the Gazans’ October 7th attack, which killed 1,200 Israelis, as being comparable to the ongoing ethnic cleansing if not ultimately extermination now of all 2.3 million Gazans, by Israeli troops and U.S. donated ammunition, tanks, planes, and bombs, plus Israel’s now strangulating blockade of Gaza in order also to starve all Gazans to death, is being accepted by RFK Jr. as-if it weren’t obviously like comparing a mere bullet with an atomic bomb.
What started the war in Gaza isn’t the October 7th attack in 2023, but the Nakba in 1948. That’s just a historical fact. Israel’s Government, America’s Government, and RFK Jr., can’t accept this reality — so, they simply deny it.
For anyone who might possibly be interested in how I personally resolve this conundrum, just click here, and get to know something about my choice for U.S. President: Col. Douglas Macgregor. In a situation like this, I believe that voters should forget about electability, and vote only their conscience, so as not to share in the guilt of other people’s bad choices, which will result solely from a spending contest between contending teams of billionaires, and from the hired lies by their hired liars.

The Structure of America’s Aristocratic Class
Eric Zuesse
| Resize text-+= |
Oracle's owner multibillionaire Larry Ellison: Prominent zionist with deep links to the "national security" machine. Many other Silicon Valley potentates sport similar profiles.
The four centers of America’s ruling class are the Democratic Party’s super-rich in California, which is the high-tech-and-Hollywood, or Silicon Valley (venture capital) and propaganda, center; versus the Republican Party’s super-rich in Texas, which remains the fossil-fuels center; plus both Parties’ super-rich in Virginia near DC, which is themilitary-industrial-governmental complex, or basically the weapons-producing and lobbying center; plus the greater NYC metropolitan area including Greenwich Connecticut, all of it comprising the megabanks and private investment funds for billionaires and centi-millionaires, which is the center for finance, opposite to the venture capital network around Stanford University in California — the old money versus the new money. (However, actually, much of the billion-dollar-plus personal individual wealth even on the West Coast is second-generation or older inherited fortunes; and, so, the only differences between America’s and Europe’s aristocracies are nominal ones, such as America’s using no official titles such as “Duke,” “Earl,” “Lord,” or “Sir.” It is just as much an aristocracy, or “ruling class,” though having no need of a monarch.)
When the U.S. Government acts internationally, such as diplomatically or militarily, these people, America’s super-rich, are the individuals whom it is representing, and to whom their subjects contribute taxes so as to fund those operations on behalf of their aristocracy in order to earn the public honor of serving in and for this neoliberal-neoconservative Government.
“dispensable”; only the imperial nation is not — and, of course, any nation that is outside the empire is a target of the empire to be brought into the empire by means of subterfuge, subversion, sanctions, coups, and — where necessary — invasions; so, they are even worse off than the colonies are.)
much greater specificity than theyhave yet done. Nonetheless, even with FDR, it was still a work-in-progress, right up till the time of his death. But, regardless, I believe that China and Russia will be more successful in The West at promoting their shared vision for the future international order if they will present it as being more in accord with what the inventor of the U.N. (FDR) had planned (and you can see additional details on that here), than is the weakened version of it (the U.N. as a powerless talking-forum), which was instituted under his successor, President Truman’s, leadership. In the BRICS, SCO, and EEU, as they move forward, they will need to either press to reform the U.N. into what had been FDR’s intention for it, or else to replace it by creating that outside of and in competition against the U.N. but taking more seriously than the U.N. does, the text, meaning, and definitions, in its international laws, so that those can become suitable for the type of U.N. (the global democratic federal republic of sovereign nations — the full-fledged international government of all nations) that FDR had been aiming to create in order to outlaw and replace all empires, so as to prevent any future World War.
There will be no way to reform the existing and highly institutionalized imperialistic international world order except by either reforming or replacing the existing U.N. If the detailed legacy of FDR on this is not to be cited as the historical foundation for this, then what would be? Whatever it is, must be stated, no longer ignored, because otherwise it will have no historical foundation and will therefore fail.

The DNC has decided to replace Biden.
Joe Biden: Doubtful that the kingmakers, a bunch of cold-blooded criminals, will endanger their investment by showing loyalty to a ruthless operator. (TGP AI)
In order for this switch to happen, the megadonors will first need to offer to the Biden family sufficient inducements in order to persuade them to persuade Joseph Biden to withdraw. If Biden won’t do that, then the individuals upon whose generosity he has been relying for legal protection and for a luxurious and honored post-Presidency, and for their support to the Biden family, will instead abandon them, as defective goods, for their ultimate disloyalty to them. Of course, these are not written contracts, but verbal ones, which can therefore be freely violated, like “handshake deals” (which are totally unenforceable — and even criminal — whenever the transaction itself was illegal, such as bribes).
On July 3rd, I headlined “Powerful Evidence Democratic Nominee Will Be Whitmer or Buttigieg, Not Biden” and explained, based upon the Party’s internal polling in swing states and Kamala Harris’s political failures to-date, why the candidates whom the DNC has been seriously considering and privately polling have been Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom, Gretchen Whitmer, and Pete Buttigieg, and why only Whitmer and Buttigieg appear, so far, to have the best chances for the DNC to unburden itself of the Biden disaster and to open up an authentic prospect of being able to retain the White House after 2024.
If I turn out to be wrong and that the DNC will indeed appoint Biden as its nominee, then I expect a landslide election of Trump and disastrous results for the Democratic Party also in Congress, both of which might turn out to be so extreme as to end the Democratic Party as the Whig Party ended in 1860 and became followed by the Republican Party.
Powerful Evidence Democratic Nominee Will Be Whitmer or Buttigieg, Not Biden
On July 2nd, Peter Hamby at Puck News headlined an exclusive, “Biden Plunges in Swing States in Leaked Post-Debate Poll”, and reported that whereas in the total U.S. electorate there was no significant effect of Biden’s poor debate performance upon voter-preferences between Biden and Trump (which is something I documented by different evidence, likewise yesterday), there were very significant drops in voters’ support for Biden in the few swing states that will probably decide the election’s winner. Those are the states where campaigning has been the most intense, and therefore where voters’ interest in the campaign is much higher than in the other states — so, they had big drops for Biden after the debate. Hamby reported: “Harris, Whitmer, Gavin Newsom, and Pete Buttigieg all poll ahead of Biden in every battleground state.”
Other possible nominees score now marginally better against Trump than Biden does: Buttigieg, Harris, and Newsom. The Puck report also says: “Whitmer and Buttigieg demonstrated serious strength against Trump in the electoral college in a two-way race, with both of them polling above 50 percent in states totaling between 260 and 301 electoral votes. Harris and Newsom, meanwhile, did not benefit from the name recognition adjustment.” This means that the replacement nominee will likely be either Whitmer or Buttigieg.
At this point, I shall comment upon Puck’s superb and comprehensive report (I suggest you read it), in order to provide additional depth to it:
As Hamby noted, most of these findings come from his having obtained access to private (nonpublished) polling by OpenLabs, which the DNC (Democratic National Committee) hires to carry out its unpublished polling. Therefore, a reasonable assumption would be that it was the DNC which selected those four names (Harris, Whitmer, Buttigieg, and Newsom) to test out against Trump. All four of those candidates are confirmed neoconservatives, just like Biden, Clinton, and Obama, are and were — neoconservatism (support for the Military-Industrial Complex above all other federal priorites, otherwise called “hawkishness” or support for expanding even further the U.S. empire) is a prerequisite in order for a U.S. Presidential candidate to be able to raise from billionaires the amount of campaign money that’s needed in order to run a campaign that has a realistic chance of winning. So: if the DNC might otherwise have thought about other potential nominees who aren’t neocons, that reason alone (one’s being NOT a neocon) would still have excluded those persons from the DNC’s consideration.
almost as much money from megabanks as Buttigieg was.
So, the likeliest two to replace Biden are Whitmer and Buttigieg.
probably increases carbon emissions. So, she would be an even better sales-person for her Party’s billionaires than Biden is.
Then there is Buttigieg. On 29 March 2019, an enthusiastic Vox headlined “Pete Buttigieg makes the case for ‘democratic capitalism’”, and reported that Buttigieg told them that “The big issue we have right now is regulatory capture.” His argument for that wasn’t basically the same as RFK Jr.’s is — that the even deeper American problem is the corruptness of our Government (the corruptness that’s built into extreme capitalism or “laissez faire,” such as Reagan introduced) — but is instead that,
When you’re in a system where money can equate to power, even more than it has historically, through the ability to purchase influence in politics, what starts to happen is the bigger you are and the more resources you command, the more you can bend the system to your advantage.
I think that structure helps to explain why our society has become more and more unequal. And all sorts of horrible side effects happen when you have that inequality, in addition to it just being morally upsetting. Look at the way that a lot of powerful businesses get their way in Washington. In statehouses it’s even more pronounced, because there’s less scrutiny.
It also leads to much greater concentration and consolidation in our economy. People are usually talking about that right now in the context of the tech sector, but it’s just as big a problem or bigger in the agricultural sector. This is a nation-wide illness that winds up threatening both democracy and capitalism.
How would that replacement of Biden happen? The Democratic Party’s billionaires would tell Biden that they don’t want Harris, because she couldn’t even make it to the primaries in 2020, and so they want Biden to resign at the Convention and to appoint Governor Whitmer (or else Secretary Buttigieg) to take his place, and that if he will do this, then they will gratefully repay him by funding his family generously and by funding honors to himself as having been the great Democratic President who so wisely chose Whitmer (or Buttigieg) to run against Trump (the Republican billionaires’ nominee).
secrets so that even when a ‘news’-medium says something like “Now, the DNC’s exact roster of current members doesn’t appear to be easily available on its website. But I got a look at a recent membership list, and I’ve posted the names on it here,” that link is either dead or pay-walled or otherwise nonfunctional — so, that that’s just a way of pretending it isn’t secret (that it’s instead public and open to the public’s scrutiny). The CIA-edited and written Wikipedia (which blacklists (blocks from linking to) sites that aren’t CIA-approved) article “Democratic Party (United States)” doesn’t even mention that it’s a private club, much less provide any way to access its membership-list. So, this is how ‘democracy in the United States’ actually works.
