EDITOR—Glenn chats with Prof. Jonathan Turley, one of America’s foremost scholars on Constitutional Law and author of The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage. Turley warns about the enormous advances of the “censorship industry”, an underhanded offshoot of the MICIMATT, currently focusing on tightening controls on the official narrative by cynically curtailing free speech in the name of protecting Americans from “disinformation”. Ironically, it is precisely the US establishment, also called “the Deep State,” that is and remains the main originator and disseminator of global disinformation. Just about everything it says about current and past realities, from the nature of the US political system (hint: it ain’t a democracy), to the facts about Russia, Iran, Putin, China, the Ukraine War and the Israeli genocide on Palestinians—among other things—is a total lie, the world upside down. In this Orwellian framework, a powerful obstacle is the US Constitution’s First Amendment, offering all Americans the absolute right to Free Speech, as a human right, notes Prof. Turley.

Foreign Affairs article on Israel: Correct details, unduly optimistic conclusions
by Don Hank34 minutes readDON HANK—Political and demographic trends suggest that the far right in Israel will remain electorally influential, even dominant, for the foreseeable future. [And these Judaic fundamentalists are supported wholeheartedly by American “Christian” Zionists, who in turn support Zionist lawmakers, creating a vicious circle that cannot be broken. Only the multipolar world order led by Russia and China can effectively oppose this]
But many Israelis who are not especially religious are also beginning to subscribe to this increasingly extreme ethnonationalist ideology. Since the October 7 attacks, the Israeli right wing has grown even more radical.

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’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.).
