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.

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.

This better not be right: U.S. Government is set to win back control over Venezuela on July 28th.
by eric zuesse18 minutes readERIC ZUESSE—“Chavismo” (named after Venezuela’s former President Hugo Chavez) which Maduro represents, and which had been Venezuela’s Marxist (communist) independent Venezuela, will become past history, when President González will start his (six-year) term on 10 January 2025.
The reason why a vast majority of Venezuelans will be voting for González is that this will be the only way they can get the U.S. Government’s virtual blockade of sanctions against their country lifted so that maybe the enormous mass poverty that those sanctions imposed upon them will likewise end. However, that favorable outcome for the poor of Venezuela won’t happen, and here is why:
González is secretly committed to privatizing Venezuela’s gas, oil, and other resources, as well as a “broad program of privatization of companies and public assets,” including the currently entirely free-to-the-public educational system and pension system, all of the Government’s assets to be auctioned off to investors from throughout the world so as to produce profits from the poor to increase the wealth of investors throughout the world, and, so to increase yet further the economic-inequality indexes throughout the world.
