MARIUS TROTTER—Woke identity politics is the latest legitimizing ideology of the East Coast, WASP establishment of the Ivy Leagues, which enjoys an intertwined, incestuous relationship with the national security state. It has a distinctly Calvinist morality at its center, which presupposes sin (‘privilege’’/’white supremacy’) as the natural state of humanity, unless proven otherwise. Given that prejudice concerns our most intimate and private thoughts and feelings, it is close to impossible to prove one’s innocence. For all the talk of ‘systemic racism’ and other ‘systems’, it is a worldview that is concerned with cleansing the individual and controlling social behavior.

Repugnant falls way short to describe Rachel Maddow, the queen of TV’s shameless political lies
8 minutes readThe Grayzone’s brave reporter and chief editor Max Blumenthal recently attended the Truman Center for National Policy’s annual national security conference, an event designed to promote the eternally warmongering security state among left-leaning (read: liberal globalist) Democrats. And with such a directive it’s no surprise that a key speaker at this year’s TruCon would be Russophobic MSNBC host Rachel Maddow, well known for her unapologetic tsunami of lies about literally all issues of culture, politics and especially foreign policy. Kudos to all involved!

AOC increasingly heckled at recent town halls as more people begin to see through her phoniness
16 minutes readThe betrayals of the Democrat party DSA-connected “Squad”, comprised of supposed populists such as Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Cori Bush, Jamaal Bowman, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), “AOC”, have provoked a great deal of disappointment and backlash among perennial believers in the progressive promise of the Democrat party. The same level of angry frustration applies to Ro Khanna, who represents California’s 17th District, the heart of the Silicon Valley. Still, few self-proclaimed “leftists” in the Democrat party catch as much fire as AOC, given her outsize personality and the many proclamations of anti-establishment posture that preceded her election.

BATIUSHKA—Truss’ decision to increase government spending – not least to double the UK ‘Defence’ (who is attacking the UK anyway?) budget to £50 billion by 2030 – to send over £3 billion of military supplies to Kiev so far this year, to subsidise 100,000 Ukrainian ‘refugees’, and at the same time to make tax cuts for the rich (what else would you expect the Conservative Party to do?) has not been accepted by Biden, the IMF and, above all, by the markets.

CYNTHIA MCKINNEY—Putin spoke of the Anglo Saxons. That’s poignant and purposeful. There are people who realize that the U.S. has veered off track. But, they think they can “take our country back” without forming a coalition with other newer and older “Americans.” As long as the rallies of today’s “patriots” look like Ku KluxKlan meetings, these rally-ers will lose. Maybe the idea of forming a coalition that is truly inclusive with people from different races and differing religions, and even with no religion—is the central Anglo-Saxon problem. For, people who share skin colors don’t necessarily share visions, objectives, purposes. But, these rallies give the impression that they do. The U.S. is in this predicament precisely because the Anglo-Saxons in charge at one time found false friendship with people of the same skin color, but whose values and vision were frighteningly different…
