S.L. KANTHAN—By the way, the word “allies” is just a euphemism for vassals. Modern wars are hybrid in nature — they include hot wars, economic wars, tech wars, trade wars, propaganda wars, spy wars, political wars and so on. The US wages hybrid wars on its vassals to make sure that the vassals don’t collude or start making independent decisions. Thus, the US spies on its European allies, stages soft coups in allied countries, wrecks their economies when they get too strong [vide Germany, currently in economic implosion due to Nordstream sabotage by the US], and even forces them into proxy wars. This is standard procedure, and India is now getting a taste of it.

JIMMY DORE—Marc Lamont Hill was unceremoniously dumped from his position as a CNN anchor after criticizing Israel in terms some, including the Anti-Defamation League, considered antisemitic. So it was somewhat surprising for Hill to join his voice with the ADL to condemn Twitter-now-X CEO Elon Musk for allegedly allowing the social media platform to become a “cesspool of antisemitism.” Jimmy and Craig “Pasta” Jardula, along with special guest comedian Chrissie Mayr, discuss what might have compelled Hill to defend an organization that smeared him and led to his being “canceled.”

Betrayal, Infuriating Betrayal. Russiagate and the Democrats
22 minutes readMIKE WHITNEY—What the Russiagate investigation shows, is that high-ranking members of the Democrat party participated in the type of activities that are described herein, they were part of an illicit coup d’etat aimed at removing Donald Trump from office and rolling back the results of the 2016 elections. It is a vast understatement to say that the operation was merely an attack on Donald Trump when, in fact, it was an attack on the system itself, a full-blown assault on the right of ordinary people to choose their own leaders. That’s what Russiagate is really all about.

In A World Ruled By Propaganda, A Sane Worldview Will Necessarily Be A Fringe Worldview
17 minutes readCAITLIN JOHNSTONE—It’s a mistake not only because assuming that the center position must be the best one is a type of fallacious reasoning known as the middle ground fallacy (the correct position between “Drink a gallon of bleach daily for good health” and “Drink zero bleach daily for good health” is not “Drink half a gallon of bleach daily for good health”); it’s also a mistake because the entire framing arises from a situation that has been artificially engineered by the powerful.

When Cruz Asked Asst. FBI Director: ‘How Many FBI Agents Were Confidential Informants’ During Jan. 6 Riot?
9 minutes readSen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) catches high FBI officials with their breeches down when testifying on the Jan. 6 events. The behavior of America’s foremost police agency—also its de facto political police with a notorious record of meddling against dissenters—needs serious oversight to insure its strict compliance with the Constitution. This task of monitoring the FBI ((along with the rest of the “National Security” industry) should have been discharged in fully bipartisan manner, or, when there was at least a remnant of the real left, headed by a leftist, but such people have been systematically weeded out from the political establishment and the US now only has fake, worse than useless leftists singing to the tune of WOKE conformity. They have become, almost to a wo/man, eager mouthpieces and propagandists for the Democrat party. It fallen, therefore, to right-wingers like Ted Cruz, to fill this role, even if they are merely being performative.
