PATRICK LAWRENCE—Terrorist Israel is absolutely unserious about peace or a negotiated settlement of any kind with the Palestinian people regardless of who they, the Palestinians, choose to represent them. It is time for the international community to stop pretending otherwise—especially, but not only, by insisting that a two-state solution remains a real-world prospect. It follows that the Zionist regime is in fact, and until it demonstrates otherwise, dedicated to the extermination or expulsion of the Palestinian population in Gaza and the West Bank alike. Disbelief on this point is no longer excusable—if ever it has been.

MAIN EDITORS—Garland examines the Trump record and the way the Deep State has been trying for almost a decade to destroy him (think the absolutely absurd and dishonest Russiagate, not a shred of truth to any of its allegations), as a political figure capable of changing the imperialist status quo (not to say Trump is not a dangerous imperialist himself, just that the more powerful and cagey ruling class faction (which today controls the FBI, CIA, etc.) representing old money, and key industries, such as oil, “defense”, etc., tend to see Trump as a risk in their machinations to control the planet). Now the attempt on his life may have forced some unwelcome realignments.

MAIN DESK—BIDEN’S BIG BOY SUMMIT—The roundtable discusses Biden’s carefully scripted but underwhelming “Big Boy” press conference, which, to no one’s surprise, turned out much more an electoral campaign speech—often mumbled—than a presidential presser, the whole concoction punctuated by hilarious gaffes that Biden’s mental deterioration now make almost inevitable (like confusing Zelensky with Putin—of all people). In addition, guest Jeff Brown paints a comprehensive picture of the global strategic situation, with a focus on Asia, where America’s futile attempts to surround China with military bases and alliances in order to stop its rise to global prominence, (already a fait accompli), is opening yet another front for a major kinetic war threatening humanity with nuclear Armageddon. A SECOND VIDEO-THE WEAPONISATION OF IGNORANCE—is also part of this outstanding package.

ALEX LO—The purest expression of this US strategy in Asia has been Australia’s costly deal for nuclear-powered submarines under the Aukus security partnership with the United Kingdom and the US.
In a new book, Australian investigative journalist Andrew Fowler has delivered the proverbial smoking gun, courtesy of David Gould, former British undersecretary for defence hired by Canberra as consultant for a programme to replace the country’s ageing submarines.
“Gould revealed for the first time what has long been suspected: one of the submarine’s most important requirements would be to work with the Americans in the South China Sea,” Fowler wrote in Nuked: The Submarine Fiasco that Sank Australia’s Sovereignty.

MARK TAYLOR—Israelis are learning no matter how racist and entitled one may be, you cannot create a safe haven by creating a catastrophe for other people. • One thing the US/Israeli genocide in Gaza — and now the West Bank — has shown is just how lied to we have been about the true fascistic nature of Israel and the death grip the big money Zionist lobby has on the government we finance. It’s time for Americans to step up and learn the true history about the truly evil nature of the foreign fascist government that now runs the White House, Congress, State and War departments.
