EDITOR—Garland and Laith, a well-respected geopolitical analyst, videographer, and cultural historian living in South Lebanon, discuss how the war between the Axis of Resistance, led by Iran, and the collective West and Israel, is gaining momentum on both sides, as the anti-imperialist alliance, supported by Russia, carefully plans its next moves, while warning treacherous countries like Jordan, Egypt and Turkey not to meddle this time in defense of the Zio-American bloc, which may find itself confronting more enemies on every side than they bargained for. Laith speaks as Israeli bombs and missiles shake his neighbourhood. Both Garland and Laith are convinced that the coming wars created by Western imperialism in Ukraine and the Middle East, which are already detonating serious social and political disturbances in the West, and a wave of anti-Muslim chauvinism in the UK and the Continental EU, probably son to be seen in the US, will also bring martial law, mass repression, totalitarian censorship, and concentration camps, as fascism with a democratic face extends its hold over the globe. Fasten your seatbelts, girls and boys, it’s gonna be a bumpy flight!

GARLAND NIXON discusses the shabby political motives behind the state’s harassment and intimidation of anti-imperialist foreign policy activists like SCOTT RITTER. Garland talks about the work Scott does to bring the peoples of Russia and the former Soviet Union and US closer as friends who understand each other as human beings, thereby facilitating international peace. Scott, married to a woman from Georgia (Europe), a nation formerly part of the USSR, and with a lot of friends and connections in Russia, where he is well-liked. Speaking about the paranoid measures implemented by the US government. Garland mentions the case of Tulsi Gabbard, who was recently put on a “quiet skies” TSA list deeming her a “potential terrorist”. Every time she flies now, absurd as it sounds, the TSA and other security agencies inject a full security team to fly along with her. The FBI and the rest of the security agencies, notes Garland, don’t do these things because they are incompetent or stupid. They are simply “leaning” on their targets to show them they don’t like what they are doing and want them to stop. The same kind of intimidation and judicial persecution is happening right now in America’s vassal states in Europe, where people are being tried for opinion that “helps Russian propaganda”.

MARK TAYLOR—“Join Us in Supporting Israel’s Defense,” read the text on the Xtend-Support-Israel.com website, directly above a large “DONATE” button. All donations would be “used for the immediate production & deployment of life saving systems for our IDF troops on the frontlines.” The site included a dazzling marketing montage of XTEND robots zooming across buildings, smashing through windows, and dropping what appears to be an explosive device from the air, “enabling soldiers to perform accurate maneuvers in complex combat scenarios.”
XTEND’s fundraising page — taken offline shortly after The Intercept raised questions about it — is one of several similar efforts soliciting charitable, tax-deductible donations to bolster Israeli national security [‘genocide campaign’].

CBS—Ultra-right-wing Israeli nationalists stormed two military facilities late Monday, protesting the detention and questioning of nine Israel Defense Forces reservists suspected of raping and abusing a Palestinian prisoner whose injuries were so bad he had to be hospitalized. Social media videos show guards at the Sde Teiman military base and prison, near Beersheba in southern Israel, shouting at and pushing military police who’d arrived to question the reservists, seemingly in defense of the suspects.

THE BEST OF GARLAND NIXON: The fall of Imperialism with Joti Brar / Ukraine and Israel in Deep Trouble
3 minutes readEDITORS—The Paris Olympics, with its outrageous illogic of banning Russia and Belarussia, countries which are merely defending themselves from Western assault, but admitting mass-murdering Israel to the games proves the advanced social and cultural decomposition of the West, notes Joti Brar, and we all agree. Joti then explains why capitalism, and its offshoot, imperialism, cannot be fixed, and how all efforts by its current pathetic leadership to “fix the problem” can only lead to disasters and delay the inevitable. From Ukraine to Gaza and beyond, the US empire is showing everyone that its appalling corruption. irrationality, hypocrisy, and structural disease cannot be cured or covered up any longer by a prostituted media or political class.
