BRIAN BERLETIC—US foreign and domestic policy is developed with think tanks funded by the most powerful corporate-financier interests across the West Policy papers published by these think tanks are turned into bills by lawyers, brought to Washington by lobbyists, and signed off by Congress and the White House regardless of political affiliation or supposed political agenda. Multipolarism has challenged US political, military, and economic power by creating alternatives to the corporate-financier monopolies in the West driving US policies at home and abroad. Americans can create a better balance of power by redirecting their monthly income, time, energy, and attention away from these corporate-financier interests and toward local and foreign alternatives.

Children of Gaza (CBS Sunday Morning—Jul 21-2024)
50 Mins readEDITOR—Editor’s Note: The depraved behaviour of Israel has been—and continues to be—so revolting, so beyond the pale, that its usual protectors, the corrupt Western political class and their media, have been forced to recognise this fact from time to time, if only to maintain a measure of legitimacy. Biden for example, pretended to intervene to force Israel to act with less brutality; the media, charged after all with reporting on basic reality, faced with such a colossal crime already discussed on the Internet, a crime already recognised by even the international tribunals, have also begun to present portions of the truth, obviously much too late and with great reluctance, while cushioning their narrative with all possible qualifiers (“Hamas brutal attack…yada yada, etc.).

ALEKS—Much of what we will discuss in this article will deal with the number of Russian casualties, as alluded to in the introduction. Russia suffered a horrendous number of dead soldiers within the first few weeks of the conflict, maybe up to 10,000. That’s the price of big arrows on modern battlefields with full intelligence/information/reconnaissance/artillery/drone coverage of the battlefields.
However, (up to) 10,000 dead is still a price that would have been worth paying to achieve the goals in Ukraine without going into a full-scale war. Had there been an agreement in Istanbul that would have terminated the conflict, ensured the rights of Russians in Ukraine, and kept Ukraine out of NATO and NATO out of Ukraine, one could remotely argue that “it was worth it.”
We all know what happened instead. As with all agreements that are not guaranteed with a gun on the West’s head, the West will ignore or scrap it at will. As happened with the Istanbul agreement.

PAUL EDWARDS—Nothing can save this nation because it has ceased to be a nation. A nation is a political entity that represents and defends the interests of a people. America, in contrast, is dirty Capitalism embodied. It is an enormous machine whose only purpose is to grind out profit for its owners, the vacuous billionaire coven.
It has no ideal, no ethic or principle, and so, no animating spirit at its core. If it ever had, beyond lust for money and the power to get it, that spirit has burned out in the bonfire of those vaunted, never implemented, virtues that were its best-selling points.

MARK TAYLOR—On this night of a “debate” between two of the most vacuous, vapid, morally devoid and intellectually empty sock puppets in the country, the only voices Americans need to hear tonight are of the screams and sobs of the children we and our NeoNazi Israeli owners are systematically shredding, dismembering and killing in Gaza.
We need to contemplate the shrieks of their grieving parents and devastated grandparents and the stunned silence of their traumatized siblings.
We need to hear the horror of our murderous foreign and military policy and endless echo of our 2,000-pound and illegal fragmentation bombs ripping through tent camps of innocent homeless, starving refugee families … our 21st Century National Anthem.
