EDITOR—Mark explains how NATO may be rushing to its own demise by pursuing a serious war against Russia, since, beside sthe political explosion that such a war could detonate in Europe, the industrial capacity of the West cannot measure up to the demands of an intensive modern war requiring mind-boggling amounts of weapons and munitions, and tough armies capable of mastering new technologies almost on the run, and regenerating their ranks with efficiency and no loss of operational ability.

PHILIP WEISS—One of the most telling stories about the establishment came and went last November. Two dozen leading law firms sent a letter to the leading law schools, including Harvard and Columbia, saying that they would not hire students from law schools that failed to crack down on antisemitism. And one of those firms, Davis Polk, rescinded job offers to three students who had taken part in pro-Palestinian protests. At about the same time, there were donor revolts by Jewish alumni identifying themselves as such at Ivy schools, threatened the withdrawal of millions in donations, or actually ended such donations because the schools weren’t doing enough to crack down on pro-Palestinian demonstrations.

DON HANK—We used to call people like this the ruling class. These high appointees understand what American values are, and today American values are standing by Israel even as it massacres thousands of children. These values surely have to do with the importance of Zionist donors to Joe Biden and universities, but they go beyond that to the makeup of the U.S. establishment. Pro-Israel voices — including Jewish Zionists — are a significant element of corporate culture. They are a generational force. Young progressives and young Jews are rejecting Israel. But they aren’t in the power structure.

EDITOR—Soiled diaper on D-Day. Who is actually running the US, asks investigative journalist Anya Parampil, because it clearly isn’t Joe Biden. The oligarchic nature of the US government, its hidden behind the throne corporate forces and billionaires, should be the concern of every thinking American, says Anya Parampil, in this chat assessing the dangers and possibilities for ordinary Americans as they go through a process of social and political chaos and disintegration with no clear understanding of the personalities involved nor the actual outcomes. As most readers of this publication know, the duopoly only offers “lesser evil” candidates, and each round of elections the choices are worse. Is there any consequential daylight between Trump and Biden?

EDITOR—Scott Ritter explains to Judge Napolitano how he was taken off an airplane at JFK bound for Russia by US agents who also confiscated his passport without showing proper credentials and judicial documents. Scott also denounces the complicity of the US State Department with Ukraine’s fascists who have created a special agency to hunt down and punish and even murder people marked by the Kiev regime as an “information terrorist”, in defiance of all Constitutional guarantees to free speech, illegal searches and other US citizen rights. Judge Napolitano offers his professional help so Scott can defend himself and sue the US government for breaking the Constitution and engage in the persecution of people and organisations that oppose US foreign policy around the globe.
