EDITOR—Loaded with lies and malicious innuendo, 60 Minutes “reports” on Russia are models of devious disinformation in which truth is upended, and neo-Nazis hailed as avatars of “democracy”. Scott Pelley. a senior honcho at 60 minutes, is, as usual, reliably cringeworthy. Pelley either knows nothing about the subject or is a consummate presstitute—maybe both, as is the case with so many prominent figures in US media. True to his mission, he doesn’t warn the audience that Lithuania has long been a rabid Russophobic nation (like Poland and the rest of the Baltics), and that they eagerly collaborated with the Nazis, and in a way, still do.

JIMMY DORE—Investigative journalist Ben Swann has compiled substantial evidence demonstrating that the Israeli government was aware well in advance that Hamas was planning the October 7th attacks. Not only did Egypt warn Israel and the IDF had collected their own intelligence, but Hamas was staging obvious military exercises leading up to the fateful date. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger talk to Swann about why the Netanyahu government might have allowed this attack to take place.

BRUCE LERRO—Faust is seen by many as the best representative of modern self-consciousness who declared there were two souls in his breast. The right side of the brain deals with the big picture and emerges first in human development. Its attention is diffused and it searches for unique patterns in the real world. Whatever information it finds, it places it in a context. For the brain’s right side, wholes are more than the sum of their parts. Once the new information is in, its function is to stabilize the system (negative feedback). The right hemisphere watches out not only for itself but for the left side as well. It multitasks. In the brain, the right-side does parallel processing of systems at the same time. It generates alternatives to problems.
The left hemisphere is its junior partner and is more unpredictable. The left hemisphere is more specialized, focused and sees the parts very well in isolation. The left hemisphere does not seek out new information but focuses on bringing order and logic within the system.

DON HANK—We used to call people like this the ruling class. These high appointees understand what American values are, and today American values are standing by Israel even as it massacres thousands of children. These values surely have to do with the importance of Zionist donors to Joe Biden and universities, but they go beyond that to the makeup of the U.S. establishment. Pro-Israel voices — including Jewish Zionists — are a significant element of corporate culture. They are a generational force. Young progressives and young Jews are rejecting Israel. But they aren’t in the power structure.

EDITOR—Soiled diaper on D-Day. Who is actually running the US, asks investigative journalist Anya Parampil, because it clearly isn’t Joe Biden. The oligarchic nature of the US government, its hidden behind the throne corporate forces and billionaires, should be the concern of every thinking American, says Anya Parampil, in this chat assessing the dangers and possibilities for ordinary Americans as they go through a process of social and political chaos and disintegration with no clear understanding of the personalities involved nor the actual outcomes. As most readers of this publication know, the duopoly only offers “lesser evil” candidates, and each round of elections the choices are worse. Is there any consequential daylight between Trump and Biden?
