EDITOR—Two distinguished intellectual heavyweights join the Blowback roundtable to discuss current events and to help expose the many examples of imperial decline that are currently taking place. Dr. Anthony Monteiro is a life long activist and founding member of the Saturday Free School. He highlights the need for institutions like the Saturday Free School and provides a crash course on the life of Henry Winston in the run up to this weekend’s symposium celebrating 50 years of Winston’s “Strategy for a Black Agenda”. John Steppling is a lifelong activist, artist, and playwright currently residing in Norway. He runs his own educational outreach podcast called Aesthetic Resistance. He details the dearth of genuine education in the West and underscores the need for alternative grass-roots education systems to help the masses to better understand the reality that the ruling establishment seeks to obfuscate.

BLOWBACK—The panel discusses Israel’s genocidist’s posture toward Palestinians, the negative impact of 10/7 on the myths supporting the US empire and its vassals (among which Israel stands out), and how this will probably accelerate the decline in global power by the US and the prospects for Israel’s long-term survival. Hamas’ blow, despite its immense cost to the Palestinian people, has broken the cycle of gradual asphyxiation applied by a sociopathic Israel over decades, and exposed the moral bankruptcy of Western media and political elites.

The discussion focuses on Palestine and the prospects for escalation into a broader regional (or global) war. As always, the panel grapples with the current establishment media narratives and attempts to contextualize them in the broader context of imperial decline.

EDITOR—Regarding the Palestinian (Hamas) confrontation with Israel, the panel discusses several intriguing aspects of this extraordinary event: Is this a false flag, a new 9/11, set up by Israel to finally get carte blanche to “cleanse” all Palestinians out of “Israeli territory”? Was it done to deligitimate Hamas, an organisation that at one point did work with the West (collaborating in the dirty Jihad against Syria, for example)? Hamas, however, has apologised for that, for being supporters of the color revolution in Syria. But it’s widely known that Hamas was aided by Israel and the West to become a top player in Palestinian politics, one capable of implementing moves favorable to the Zionist state’s ultimate goals.
