SABBY SABS—A wide-ranging discussion of many topics deciding the course of history, from South Africa’s accusation of genocide by Israel before the ICJ, to Biden’s typically unintelligent response to the Houthi challenge. Plus the mystery of the Hasidic NYC secret tunnels.

OLIVER BOYD-BARRETT—The issue of Iran is discussed by Brian Berletic of New Atlas today. He critiques western main media coverage of the bombing. The BBC covered the ISIS claim of responsibility, not making it clear that Suleimani was fighting effectively against ISIS and similar organizations, designated “terrorist” by the US, in Syria (whose weapons mainly came from the USA because the weapons first went to “moderate” Islamist militia whence they were surrendered or simply handed over to Al Qaeda or its look-alikes) when the US (Trump) murdered him.

EDITOR—Garland and Libertarian party president Angela McArdle discuss what needs to be done to inject honesty, sanity and true democracy in America’s political life, currently completely eviscerated by the oligarchy’s power and the sordid work of their flunkies in the political class and a multitude of “national security” agencies—from the FBI to the CIA, the NSA, Homeland Security, etc.—all actually created to protect the 0.001% from popular power, and operating in far too many cases against the Constitution.

MARGARET KIMBERLEY—The horrific scenes of carnage have evoked revulsion for millions of people in the United States and around the world. Huge protests have taken place nationally and internationally and the zionists find themselves on the public relations defensive but will not concede defeat. They are using brute force to dox, damage careers, end careers before they start, withhold funds, and use other means to silence righteous indignation over Israeli war crimes.
