Former Marine Intelligence Officer and UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter was at JFK airport, prepared to fly to St. Petersburg, Russia for a major conference when customs agents, at the behest of the State Department, seized Ritter’s passport and refused to allow him to board the plane. Jimmy speaks with Ritter about what happened and why he thinks the State Department has targeted him to prevent him from making this particular trip to Russia.

DECADENT IMPERIALISM: WITH JOTI BRAR - UK ELECTIONS - YEMEN ESCALATES - EP 13
Garland Nixon Streamed live on May 31, 2024
Garland and Joti dissect the UK's political system, noting that its basically "duopolist" arrangement (Tories vs Labour) is an almost exact mirror of the American system with its Democrat vs Republican duopoly, also an equally fraudulent system representing only the interests of ONE class, the globalist, warmongering billionaire oligarchy, and delivering, essentially a fake democracy running on a uniparty track. Anyone still thinking that Anglo-American democracy still exists as a viable system will get a rude awakening after watching this video.

In cynicism and power, the US propaganda machine easily surpasses Orwells Ministry of Truth.
Now the fight against anti-semitism is being weaponised as a new sanctimonious McCarthyism.
Unless opposed, neither justice nor our Constitutional right to Free Speech will survive this assault.
Things to keep in mind...
Neo-Nazi ideology has become one of the main protagonists of political and social life in Ukraine since the 2014 coup d'état. Meanwhile, fascist ideology and blatant lies also permeate the consciousness of most people in the West. Those in the comfortable top 10%, the "PMCs" (Professional Managerial Class), are especially vulnerable. They support and disseminate such ideas. They are the executors of the actual ruling class' orders, those in the 0.001%, who remain largely invisible. The PMCs are the political class, the media whores, the top military brass, some people in academia, and the "national security/foreign policy" industry honchos. Push back against these unethical, contaminated people with the truth while you can.
The views expressed herein are solely those of the author and may or may not reflect those of The Greanville Post. However, we do think they are important enough to be transmitted to a wider audience.
Since the overpaid media shills will never risk their careers to report the truth, the world must rely on citizen journalists to provide the facts that explain reality.

Billy Bob's Dispatches THE WORLD THROUGH AN INDEPENDENT LEFT LENS

Her culture and style of governance remain incomprehensible to Western elites.
n 1936, Mao Zedong foretold the future when he prophesied the following: "When China finally wins her independence, then legitimate foreign trading interests will enjoy more opportunity than ever before. The power of production and consumption of 450,000,000 people is not a matter that can remain the exclusive interest of the Chinese, but one that must engage the many nations. Our millions of people, once really emancipated, with their great latent productive possibilities freed for creative activity in every field, can help improve the economy as well as raise the cultural level of the whole world."
In 1945 Mao said “Some people refuse to understand why the Chinese Communists do not fear capitalism but, on the contrary, develop it as much as possible. Our answer is simple: we have to replace foreign imperialist and native feudalist oppression with capitalist development because that is the inevitable course of our economy and because both the capitalist class and the proletariat benefit. What is superfluous is not native capitalism but foreign imperialism and native feudalism. On the contrary, our capitalism is indeed too little. To develop industry, enormous capital is required. Where will it come from? It can only come from two sources: the capital accumulated by the Chinese people themselves and from foreign loans, and we must welcome all foreign investments as long as they obey the laws of China and are advantageous to our economy.”
Of course, Mao’s desire to integrate into the global economy was put on hold due to the unilaterally imposed Western trade embargo and the Sino-Soviet split. But Mao did not give up on his vision of global economic integration and he continually raised the issue of ending the trade embargo during the 136 ambassadorial level meetings that took place in Geneva (1954-1958) and later Warsaw (1958-1970). Mao’s efforts finally paid off as Nixon and Kissinger officially agreed to end the Western trade embargo in 1972.
After Mao’s death, Deng took full advantage of the newly available trade opportunities and re-oriented China’s economy in order to maximize direct foreign investment. It is nearly impossible to summarize the unprecedented skyrocketing of every conceivable metric that China has achieved over the last several decades, but here are some highlights that may provide some awareness of China’s amazing accomplishment: Wages have tripled every ten years for forty years in a row. Education spending has doubled every eight years for forty years in a row. 800 million people have been lifted out of poverty (“poverty” as defined by the World Bank). According to the “Lived Change Index”, between 1990 and 2019, China experienced the highest increase in per-capita GDP of any country on earth (which is even more impressive when one considers China’s large population and the fact that Poland in the number two position, only grew by a factor of nine, while China, in the top spot, grew by more than a factor of thirty!!!).
China’s planned socialist economy did not allow massive slums to sprawl as they always do as an unwanted consequence of capitalist development and economic growth. Instead, China built hundreds of cities from scratch, including twenty cities that house over a million citizens. China developed the world's greatest high-speed rail network, they became the world's leading manufacturer of green energy as well as the world’s greatest user of green energy. China developed a world-class education system that leads the world in the number of patents and published research papers. Perhaps most importantly, China is working with the developing world and offering them a hand up, instead of a knee on their necks (as is offered by the Western imperialists). China is helping the under-developed world to develop and is sharing their expertise and know-how, and providing assistance with large infrastructure projects that are desperately needed to improve lives and bring prosperity. Additionally, China provides low-interest loans that finance, facilitate, and enable, all the development described above.
China's Industrial Vigor is Revolutionising All Applied Sciences,
Civil Engineering Included
The Chinese have pushed furthest the notion of the city as a product. One of the most important aspects of China’s recent economic development is the profusion of new cities being built from scratch. These aren’t expansions of existing communities but fully master-planned, manufactured centers of economic and social life, often built on newly developed land such as artificial islands or reclaimed desert. On some estimates, China has built more than 600 new cities since the establishment of the People’s Republic in 1949. Some of these manufactured cities have been extraordinary successes. Shenzhen rose from a rice paddy into one of the world’s most dynamic metropolises—its economy is the size of South Korea’s—in just three or four decades. But even Shenzhen pales, compared with the plans for Xiongan in Hebei province, a new city that covers over 770 square miles, more than twice the size of New York City. (Bruno Maçães, The City in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction, City-Journal, Autumn 2019)
The West is not happy with any of this. After ending the trade embargo in 1972, the West had hoped to affect regime change culminating in the failed color revolution in Tiananmen Square. The West has worked tirelessly to infiltrate China’s political apparatus and get their political puppets in power in order to implement policies that benefit Western interests. This is the basic MO of Western imperialism, but it has failed in China. Wikileaks reported on a leaked diplomatic cable that laments Xi Jinping is “untainted by corruption”, “Mr. Clean”, “low key, humble, and self-effacing”, “a good guy”, and ideologically “redder than red”. None of these traits make Xi someone that the West can use to further their own malign interests, quite the contrary in fact. This is why Xi is reviled in the Western press and presented as a dictatorial human rights abuser who routinely harvests the organs of religious folks, when he’s not selling fentanyl to Appalachia or genociding Uyghurs in Xinjiang.
But, Mao’s vision has come true and it is coming more true with each passing day, much to the consternation of the West. Western hegemony is being destroyed by a rising China and there is no clear solution to this problem. Since China is so integral to the global economy, it will not be easy to sanction or isolate China economically. Since the Chinese market is so lucrative, it is difficult to get greedy Western capitalists on board with the policy of decoupling urged by Western strategists. You may remember how Trump was mercilessly mocked by the entirety of the liberal press when he tweeted:
“We don’t need China and, frankly, would be far better off without them… Our great American companies are hereby ordered to immediately start looking for an alternative to China, including bringing your companies HOME and making your products in the USA.”
In order to attain a decoupling from China, Biden has adopted a more sophisticated approach. Unlike Trump, Biden has harnessed his media allies to promote the manufactured narrative that Western strategists hope will help achieve China’s economic isolation. This new strategy is predicated on the hypocritical trashing of decades of “free trade” rhetoric as well as decades of faux environmentalism and a pretend desire to increase our use of renewable energy including solar panels, batteries, and electric cars. In true Orwellian fashion, the Biden administration is trusting that everyone will simply forget about the decades of propaganda extolling free trade as being in the best interest of everyone because it lowers prices, breeds competition, and benefits consumers by increasing access to goods. We are to immediately forget that fossil fuels will soon render our planet unlivable. As imperialist imperatives change so do their narratives.
The new buzzword is “overproduction”. China has “broken the rules” by subsidizing its green energy industries. Of course, this is just more hypocrisy as Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, signed into law in August of 2022, invested a trillion dollars into our own domestic green energy industries. All of a sudden things have changed 180 degrees. Free trade is now bad, green energy is now bad, and subsidizing domestic industries is now bad (except for when we do it).
So, China must be sanctioned with tariffs because they have “overproduced” green energy which has caused the price of solar panels, batteries, and electric cars to be “too low”. There is now “too much” green energy. China has “overproduced” green energy. It’s almost as if every US household has all their useful surfaces covered in solar panels and yet there are extra solar panels just lying around the yard and on the side of the house cluttering everything up. There’s only one solution to this clutter caused by China’s “overproduction”. Biden is putting a 100% tariff on Chinese electric cars so US consumers will have to pay double what they otherwise would. Solar panels from China will cost US consumers 50% more than what they otherwise would. So much for promoting free trade and green energy. It’s almost as if Biden doesn’t give a fuck about the interests of the working class and is solely interested in making sure China responds with tariffs of their own. And Biden and his media allies are prepared to spin the most hypocritical, irrational, and counter-intuitive narratives, in order to implement their imperialist strategy.
My guess is that Biden hopes to stoke a trade war and that he is ready with additional tariffs and sanctions immediately following China’s response to this current round of tariffs. In this way, Biden hopes to go back and forth with escalating rounds of tariffs and sanctions, eventually making it unprofitable for Western companies to do business in China. What else can Western strategists do when greedy capitalists who have no class consciousness or concern for the imperatives of imperialism refuse to decouple from China’s immensely lucrative market? Initiate a trade war and make sure that it becomes unprofitable to do business with China, seems like their only option.
Additionally, the speed of the green energy revolution will also be tremendously slowed down and reliance on fossil fuels will remain unnecessarily high. This is just a bad policy and bad strategy for an empire in decline that lacks the competence necessary to shift from confrontation to cooperation. Indeed by choosing confrontation the US ruling cliques show their appalling mediocrity and political myopia by not properly appreciating the political pacification benefits derived from assuring a decent consumption floor to the beleaguered working class. Until this fundamental shift takes place, and civilised collaboration replaces economic war, the ruling Western Establishment will continue to escalate its violent, immoral, and counterproductive efforts to maintain its supremacy while asking the global working class to make all the sacrifices on their behalf.

Garland and Regis discuss how the US "official narrative"—especially the US foreign policy lies—keep a criminal empire "legitimate" in the eyes of the population, and how the Gaza genocide may have finally broken the almost century-long "disinformation hypnosis" and precipitated a confrontation with the reality that Israel is a criminal entity, and that US citizens do not enjoy irrevocable, Constitutionally guaranteed rights, but merely "privileges" at the whim of a tiny, obscenely rich and sociopathic oligarchy. Now that the very nature of the US state is at issue, that its "goodness" can't be taken for granted, what is the globalist establishment likely to do in the face of a still-growing protest movement?
Americans are the most heavily propagandised population in history. But the spell is finally lifting.
TALKING WITH REGIS TREMBLAY ABOUT ISRAEL, COLLEGE PROTESTERS, AND US POLICY
In 1991, Frank Donner, former director of the ACLU’s Project on Political Surveillance, published a book entitled Protectors of Privilege, which provided a history of police suppression of left-wing and labor protests in the United States.
[Source: target.com]
A key chapter in the book focused on the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), whose reactionary political function was epitomized by two of its most notorious chiefs: William Parker and Daryl Gates, who were overtly racist and supported anti-democratic paramilitary policing practices.
The LAPD’s true colors were on display at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) at the end of April when its officers stood by for hours as hundreds of right-wing vigilantes attacked pro-Palestinian demonstrators in what Al Jazeeradescribed as a “really shocking and ugly scene of violence.” The LAPD then aggressively broke up the pro-Palestinian demonstrators’ encampment using flash bangs and riot gear, arresting around 200 of the anti-genocide protesters who were entirely peaceful. (none of the vigilantes were arrested).[1]

On May 2, a day after the break-up of the encampment, I visited the UCLA campus and witnessed students and university employees clearing the protest area.
Though many of the students were refusing to speak to any media, I managed to interview one, Lisa Cooper, who described herself as a seasoned organizer originally from New York who had joined the protesters in solidarity with them.
Cooper told me that she helped run a wellness center in the encampment that brought in acupuncturists who administered treatment to students who had either been physically attacked or were dealing with emotional trauma and the stress of living in the encampment while studying for mid-terms.
The students believed they had to do something in the face of the horrific atrocities going on in Gaza.
Cooper said that dissent was currently under siege in the U.S. and that the protests provided an opportunity to get people thinking about societal problems and realities, and that the students involved felt empowered by their experience, which they would take with them into other aspects of their lives.
“this is a public university that preaches the importance of education, and yet, topics like Palestine are not taught. A lot of the programming shows that people here are taking their education into their own hands, and learning what it means to teach each other and enact activist values.”[2]

According to Cooper, public protest is a right Americans enjoy under the U.S. Constitution and that this should not be forgotten.
Cooper said that the right-wing vigilantes who stormed the encampment were equipped with bear mace, projectiles and other weapons that they deployed against protesters, causing injuries to some of the students.
One protester had 16 staples inserted into his scalp.

Because the students did not want to call 911 and put themselves at risk of suspension or arrest, other students drove them to the hospital by car.
Cooper herself was not injured in the attack, but said that the vigilantes hurled racial slurs at her (she is African-American).

The main police units that broke up the encampment were officers of the California Highway Patrol (CHP) who, she said, are not required to wear body cam devices. CHP was backed up by the LAPD, whose presence was ubiquitous around the campus during my visit.
Cooper said that UCLA should be called to account for not allowing peaceful protests on public property.
UCLA President Michael Drake released a statement supporting the university’s decision to label the protest encampment as unlawful, noting that, “when it threatens the safety of students or everyone else, we must act.”[3]
MAY GOD PROTECT US FROM UNCLE TOMS—UCLA President Michael Drake [Source: thelantern.com]
Corporate media falsely accuse pro-Palestine protesters of "horrific violence".
During the vigilante attack, a group reportedly piled on one person who lay on the ground, kicking and beating the person until others pulled him out of the scrum. The editor of the UCLA Daily Bruin, Catherine Hamilton, was punched in the chest and upper abdomen by the vigilantes. Robert Reynolds of Al Jazeerareported that the vigilante mob, which called for a second Nakba, “appear[ed] to be all largely people who are not of student age and they’re not from the UCLA campus, but what they’re doing is trying to harass and attack the pro-Palestinian demonstrators.” The leaders of the anti-war encampment at UCLA said that “law enforcement simply stood at the edge of the lawn and refused to budge as we screamed for their help. The only means of protection we had was each other as the attack went on for more than seven hours.” “The university would rather see us dead than divest,” it added in a statement posted on X. The Los Angeles Public Defenders’ Union called the UCLA arrests “shameful and a complete failure of leadership.” President Garrett Miller said they are ready to “represent every person facing charges.” ↑
Dylan Winward, “Encampment Hosts Programming, Draws Counter-Protesters,” UCLA Daily Bruin, April 26, 2014, 2. Winward’s article detailed how Jewish Voices for Peace organized a passover seder in the encampment and shabbat service, dispelling the myth that somehow the students involved in the encampment were anti-semites. ↑
Anna Dai-Liu and Dylan Winward, “Pro-Israel counter-protesters attempt to storm encampment, sparking violence,” UCLA Daily Bruin, May 1, 2024, 1. ↑
Sam Mulick, “UCLA Community Responds to Palestine Solidarity Encampment,” UCLA Daily Bruin, APril 26, 2024, 3 quotes from students, the majority of whom had highly positive views of the encampment. This included numbers of Jewish students. One student quoted in the article expressed appreciation that students of this generation were politically active and cared about the plight of oppressed people in the world, while another said the encampment was an effective method to engage community members on the campus. Still another, a psychology student, Erin Lee, told The Daily Bruin that UCLA should offer more support to Palestinian students, and that the university had taken a direct role in the war in Gaza through its investments in companies affiliated with the Israeli military. She added correctly that while she thinks students in the encampment were sending a very powerful message, she doubts the UC system will respond to their actions. ↑
