ED CURTIN—Facetiousness aside, the voting public either doesn’t know or doesn’t care that the U.S.A. is a warfare state; it’s as simple as that. Without waging wars, the U.S. economy, as presently constituted, would collapse. It is an economy based on fantasy and fake money with a national debt over 35 trillion dollars that will never be repaid. That’s another illusion. But I am speaking of pipe dreams, am I not? And whether they choose to be aware of it or not, the vast majority of Americans support this killing machine by their indifference and ignorance of its ramifications throughout the society and more importantly, its effects in death and destruction on the rest of the world.

Nasrallah Warns Israel: ‘Your Short-Lived Laughter Will Soon Turn Into Bitter Tears’
43 minutes readNASRALLAH—These four points must be detailed as they determine our stance. This was an act of aggression, but it was presented as a reaction, and it had been announced in the days leading up to the aggression that there would be an Israeli response, and that we should all await it. Various countries intervened, many hypocritical, stating that Israel had the right to respond. Respond to what? To the falsification I am about to address.
We completely reject this assessment and characterization: this was an act of aggression. It’s part of the ongoing battle since the creation of this entity, since the massacres of 1947 and 1948 in occupied Palestine, southern Lebanon, Hula, and other parts of southern Lebanon. It’s all part of the Israeli-Zionist-American war against Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and the peoples of the region.

THE BEST OF GARLAND NIXON: The fall of Imperialism with Joti Brar / Ukraine and Israel in Deep Trouble
10 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.

EDITORS—Two huge topics draw the attention of the Blowback group: the US attempts at (again) regime change in Venezuela, the country with the world’s largest deposits of oil, and Netayanhu’s deranged scheme to complete his total ethnic cleansing of Palestinians with the full backing of the West, a project that is threatening now the actual dissolution of Israel for the first time since this criminal Zionist project saw light in 1948.

OLIVER BOYD-BARRETT—An intensification of recent propaganda from Western and Israeli intelligence and media sources includes the lie that Iran is a nuclear threat to Israel (which has hundreds of nuclear weapons); that it is Iran and not Israel (which has massacred at least 40,000 but more likely, 200,000 Palestinians) that is driving the present crisis and that it is Iran that needs to exercise “restraint;” that the Hezbollah leader Fuad Shukr who was assassinated by Israel a few days ago was implicated in the 1983 Beirut barracks bombing of US marines; the atrocious claim that Hezbollah was responsible for a missile attack on Arab children playing football in the Golan Heights; that Iran has been “acting aggressively,” and that the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was caused by a planted Mossad bomb and not a missile.
