BLOWBACK: Propaganda and Loss of a Legend
Billy Bob's Dispatches

1/5/2024 Episode 44 of Blowback: Exposing Imperial Decline with special guests Regis Tremblay and Ian Kummer.
EDITOR'S NOTE
The panel discusses the role of alternate media voices, and memorialises the loss of John Pilger, one of the most dedicated anti-imperialist journalists and political documentarians of our time. US documentarian and antiwar activist Regis Tremblay speaks about his own radicalisation, his friendship and collaboration with John Pilger, his film exposés (The Ghosts of Jeju, Who Are the Russians & Why Do We Hate Them, et al), and his eventual relocation to Crimea, Russia. It should be noted that US social media platforms, especially Facebook and Google (YouTube), are working hard to censor Roger's films. The monopolistic media corporations reduce the circulation and probably shadowban Tremblay's documentaries by placing hypocritical cards and "qualifications" in front of the films designed to make it hard for viewers to access the films. The cards are supposedly there to "protect" the "fragile" viewers from exposure to "shocking" images. The hypocrisy of the US establishment is simply repugnant, but, unfortunately, it still fools far too many people.
In this interview I talk to the filmmaker and US citizen Regis Tremblay about his films and why he moved from the USA to Crimea in 2020. How is life in the Crimea ? What is he doing there and how is he living with the sanctions against the peninsula ?

US think tanks like Brookings or Rand are agglomerations of experts paid to plot international crimes.

Update on Israeli military operations in Gaza and growing regional conflict...
• Israeli military operations have exceeded in duration, scale, scope, death, and destruction, previous incursions into Gaza in 2008-2009 and 2014
• Israel is pacing its military operations, making this longer-term campaign possible in terms of arms and ammunition
• Israeli losses continue to mount, however the true nature of the fighting is difficult to discern
• Militants in Gaza have published inconclusive footage of attacks on Israeli armored vehicles failing to show the full aftermath and whether or not the vehicles were even hit at all, damaged, or destroyed
• Without more information about the nature of the fighting, it is difficult to draw conclusions about how sustainable Israeli military operations are and thus what outcome may emerge
• Israeli leadership indicates that following the operation there will be some sort of open-ended “security presence” in Gaza (de facto occupation)
• The conflict continues undermining stability in the region, threatening trade through the Red Sea, with Israeli strikes continuing to target Hezbollah in southern Lebanon and Syria, thus creating potential pretexts for a wider conflict against either or even against Iran
• Just like the US proxy war in Ukraine, despite ambitions toward triggering a wider conflict in the Middle East or creating a pretext for war with Iran, the US may fail there as well
• Ultimately, Israel’s current actions may only accelerate rather than prevent the collapse of the US-led “order” in the region and precipitate the emergence of an Israel led by interests committed to a two-state solution and co-existence with its neighbors.
