EDITOR—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?

BILLY BOB— If the elites are “communist” why is communism so demonized by the power structures of the West?
So this is where the narrative pivots and does its best to pander to the inculcated ignorance of its intended victims. By redefining “communism” as, “everything that conservatives oppose”. There are truly no limit to the “evils” which conservatives are happy to blame communism for. A lecture from one of the narrative’s top proponents, James Lindsay, is entitled “Maoism With American Characteristics”. In this lecture, Lindsay panders to American ignorance by claiming Mao was an agent of the elites and that American elites want to revisit the evils upon the American people that Mao visited upon the Chinese people.

DANIEL LARISON—Oxfam’s Scott Paul summed up the findings of the report, “Firm legal requirements to respect IHL & not block aid are being swatted away by a president who campaigned on restoring the rule of law.” Jeremy Konyndyk, president of Refugees International, commented, “Lots of documentation of apparent violations; yet concludes Israel’s assurances on IHL compliance are credible. It’s like they’re staring at all of these trees and arguing there’s no forest.”

WW2 – 70th Anniversary of the Victory over Fascism
15 minutes readHARPAL BRAR—The imperialists (Britain, France, USA, Germany, Japan…) fought, and many millions died to preserve and enforce the wage and colonial slavery of the capitalist class. They fought for slaves and booty and nothing more. And yet by their masterful leadership, bold strategy and heroic courage and self-sacrifice, the Soviet Union and international communist movement, won world-historic victories which not only preserved their hard-won socialist nation, but brought into being a swath of socialist democracies across Europe and Asia, invigorated the anti-colonial struggle, and decisively shifted the balance of power in favour of working people on a global scale.

ERIC ZUESSE—So: a person’s circumstances tend to determine which club that person belongs to. The Democratic National Committee and the Republican National Committee both are clubs, and they both pretend to represent their voters, but actually they do not and never have. They represent the mega-donors who fund it. The billionaires who fund the Republican Party put up candidates who pretend to represent the self-interest of their voters, whereas the billionaires who fund the Democratic Party put up candidates who pretend to represent the nation’s interest.
