EDITOR—Garland discusses the place of nonconformist thinking—including “conspiracy theorists”— has in a healthy society, especially as it relates to the questioning of narratives and concepts bolstering a particular social arrangement or ruling class, and the reasons why the term has become a way for the establishment to denigrate and contain such individuals, thereby preserving the status quo and normalcy. Examined questions: who has the right to revise the laws? Social deviancy. Conspiracy theorists. The nature of mainstream beliefs. The role of media. Collective belief system organised by the ruling class.

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.

EDITORS—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.
