PATRICE GREANVILLE—These periodical performances before Congress are not good for the hoi polloi. They mislead the masses and actually hide the true mechanics of power. At best, these politicians’ and bureaucrats’ well-remunerated minuets are, like the shadows in Plato’s cave, only rough and remote approximations, not of a reality, but of an ideal perhaps impossible to realize without the benefit of revolution. Thus, the fake verbal duels and posturings will never yield a reliable representation of the actual power structure that oppresses the majority, nor of the ominous direction it is moving.

MoA—”b”—In 1961 a mistrimmed stabilizer on a Boeing 707 caused the crash of an airplane. All on board died. The root cause was a malfunction in the electrical switch the pilot normally uses to electrically move the stabilizer. The switch stuck in an ON position and the motor moved the stabilizer to its most extreme position. The plane’s nose went up until it aerodynamically stalled. The pilots were unable to recover from the situation. The type of incident where an electric malfunction drives the stabilizer into an extreme position is since known as a ‘runaway stabilizer’.
To get a type rating for Boeing planes the pilots have to learn a special procedure to diagnose and correct a runaway stabilizer situation. The procedure is a so called ‘memory item’. The pilots must learn it by heart.

Orinoco Tribune – Special Interview with Dan Cohen – Haiti, a new Invasion and G9
by Dan Cohen200 Mins readDAN COHEN—’Another Vision: Inside Haiti’s Uprising’ tells the story of Jimmy ‘Barbecue’ Cherizier and the Revolutionary Forces of the G9 Family and Allies, the anti-crime armed neighborhood federation in the crosshairs of the U.S. empire. In this series’ spectacular conclusion, Episode 3 shows Cherizier trekking through the planet’s most miserable slums as he seeks to advance a “mental revolution” among Haiti’s poorest masses. We learn about President Jovenel Moïse’s July 7, 2021 assassination, the stymied investigation of which is having a profound effect on Haiti’s national liberation struggle. We see how the de facto government, set in place by Washington, is wobbling in the face of the G9’s growing strength.

PAUL EDWARDS—[In the USA] Besides a chiseling, senile sap and War Machine whore President, and his shifty, sleazy, flashing con man opponent who will be our next Chief Embarrassment, we have a whole Congress of Sunaks and Starmers. There is no trace of principle or integrity among either gang of closet criminals who inhabit our governing asylum. A man or woman of actual integrity would never be considered, much less allowed, to run for office under this system of tyranny that despises and forbids the championing the people.
England, to its royal chagrin, let Galloway slip in a back door and now they’ve got to deal with him. Unlike poor Jeremy Corbyn, who was vilified and brutalized by the deceit of the Establishment, George won’t turn the other cheek and meekly kowtow.

HELEN SANTORO—From 2018 to 2022, out-of-pocket costs for Medicare enrollees climbed for nine of the 10 drugs. The average annual out-of-pocket cost for Stelara, an injectable drug that treats autoimmune conditions, rose the most from $709 per enrollee to $2,058. For non-Medicare U.S. patients, Stelara can be considerably more expensive, especially since drugmakers charge far higher prices in the US than they do elsewhere. A 2019 report found that the regular price for Stelara was $16,600 per dose in the United States, compared to $2,900 per dose in the United Kingdom.
