JOHN VAROLI—Trump won’t scale back the empire. He is obsessed with American “greatness”, which means that the U.S. will continue to destabilize the international order, enhancing our status as a pariah nation. (Yes, most of the world hates us). Whoever wins the presidential race, the loser will be the human race.

JOHN VAROLI—How fortunate for us Americans that the White House is vigilant, protecting us from dangerous information, saving us the anguish of thinking for ourselves. Today’s ‘progressives’ certainly know better than those ‘far-right’ Founding Fathers who were obsessed with extremist notions of “freedom of speech” and “freedom of the press”.

CLASSIC ESSAYS: “Dictatress of the world”: A prophetic 200-year old warning is ignored to our peril
by John Varoli10 minutes readJOHN VAROLI—At that time, however, the U.S. government couldn’t exert the full potential of imperial might and total social control that the ruling class today in Washington wields. Thanks to the rise of the modern digital society, the dictator’s dream of total surveillance and concentration of power are a few clicks away. The U.S. ruling class literally has at its disposal all the levers needed to manipulate and control.

JOHN VAROLI—I’m at a loss for words trying to describe the depravity and wickedness of Biden’s White House, which eagerly provides the weapons and infrastructure to incinerate thousands of children in Gaza; and then launches numerous terrorist attacks against Russia, hoping to provoke Moscow to respond in a manner that would be the casus belli for World War 3.

JOHN VAROLI—Five months remain before the elections in November, and no election in modern America is complete without a witch hunt for “Russian spies and agents of influence”. If you believe the White House, these extraordinary super-agents can dupe millions of Americans into voting for ‘right-wing’ candidates just by posting videos on websites that few people have seen, as well as humorous memes on social media.
Our fragile American democracy is easily subverted by these nefarious ‘Russian agents’. They hate us for our freedoms and want to enslave us with their communist ideology. If you listen to U.S./ NATO officials, these Russian agents are everywhere; so always be vigilant. How to discern a ‘Russian agent’? One clear sign, of course, is that they criticize the White House’s policies and agitate for peace on Earth.
