Guest Host RUSSELL DOBULAR and the panel—including Jimmy Dore— examine why most corporate comics sell out, often using the same meme across their platforms. Careerism explains much of their conformity, of course, a label they would probably furiously reject if called out on their behaviour. Others are simply mediocre.

EDITOR—From the all-white 1950s/60s TV to the all-BUT-white programming in the age of wokery, the propaganda pendulum has swung 100%, and the stupid and shameless manipulators expect us to swallow this repulsive switch. As usual, just like in the “Eisenhower years”, when everyone was white and middle class, to our new age in which whites are hard to find even in TV commercials, and everyone is blissfully “diverse”, the pretension is that America is a model of fairness and the world’s foremost bastion of human rights. Garland is justifiably nauseated by the hypocrisy, the relentless virtue signalling, while the same influential crowd seems deaf and blind to the sickening depravity of Israeli crimes in Gaza and the proliferation of Neo-Nazis in Ukraine and beyond, not to mention the US-led global slide toward nuclear war.

Gaza War: Deceptions, Distortions, Misperceptions. What are the Relevant Actual Facts?
78 minutes readCHARLES PIERCE—Hamas and PIJ had demonstrated a willingness to establish and maintain truces (long-term and short-term) with the Zionist state. Israel, however, evidently expected, despite cease-fires in effect, to have impunity as it perpetrated attacks, including assassinations, upon Palestinian resistance organizations. When resistance organizations responded with counter-attacks; Israel subjected Gaza to grossly disproportionate violence. Moreover, the current extreme racist Israeli government increased its persecutions and violations of Palestinian human rights: impunity for settler attacks upon West Bank Palestinians; stepped up grabs of land and water rights; dispossessions and expulsions; arbitrary detentions; increased killings of unarmed Palestinians; blocking of Muslim access to the Al-Aqsa Mosque; continued assassinations of resistance leaders; etc. Finally, Hamas responded with its “Operation Al-Aqsa Flood” (October 7, 2023) against Israeli forces in areas around Gaza.

Garland Nixon: MIDDLE EAST IN DEPTH WITH LAITH MAROUF – ISRAELIS STORM AL AQSA – ISRAEL IRAN RESPONSE SYMBOLIC
8 minutes readGARLAND NIXON—LAITH MAROUF—Garland and Laith discuss the repercussions of Iran’s “warning” (or “symbolic”) strike on Israel, an effort to serve notice to this lunatically criminal entity that its provocations and international murders will not be further tolerated. The Iranian drone and missile attack on Apr 13 was designed, as previously commented, to cause the fewest human casualties, and to gather intelligence on the Israeli/US AD network. Iran’s warning is also good for the “collective West”, including the constantly scheming Hegemon itself. In a new development, as Israel has continued its assassinations of Hezbollah commanders, Hezbollah itself has begun to target and destroy Israeli command centers. Laith also comments on the media blockade on the Israeli mass assassinations (and mass graves recently discovered) of Palestinian victims in various hospital settings—Al Shifa, etc., most of them either patients being cared for or hospital staff, a heinous crime under international law that should have made headlines all over the world, but which Western media has simply memory-holed. Of course, not a pip has been heard from the West’s top leadership, who are too busy supporting the depraved Zionist regime.

MoA—”b”—In 1961 a mistrimmed stabilizer on a Boeing 707 caused the crash of an airplane. All on board died. The root cause was a malfunction in the electrical switch the pilot normally uses to electrically move the stabilizer. The switch stuck in an ON position and the motor moved the stabilizer to its most extreme position. The plane’s nose went up until it aerodynamically stalled. The pilots were unable to recover from the situation. The type of incident where an electric malfunction drives the stabilizer into an extreme position is since known as a ‘runaway stabilizer’.
To get a type rating for Boeing planes the pilots have to learn a special procedure to diagnose and correct a runaway stabilizer situation. The procedure is a so called ‘memory item’. The pilots must learn it by heart.
