LARRY C JOHNSON—”The United States does not have enough bombs to force Yemen to surrender. Why? Yemen’s rocket and missile force is mobile. They can move dozens of missiles at the same time in different directions, which then forces the United States, notwithstanding robust ISR, to find the needles in the haystack that is Yemen. The U.S. can kill and destroy some, but not all…”

ERIC ZUESSE—The man who in 2019 organized his fellow billionaires to invest in Biden’s Presidential campaign was formerly Vice-Chairman (and perhaps the largest individual investor) in Lockheed Martin corporation (though the CIA-affiliated Wikipedia avoids even to mention Lockheed in its article on that person: Bernard Schwartz — who owns Joe Biden if any single person does, but instead Biden is owned by all of the Democratic Party’s billionaires: especially all 66 of them that invested in Biden against his Democratic Party rivals).

IS THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA A RELIC OF THE PAST?
13 minutes readLARRY JOHNSON—We are now in an era where I believe that the mainstream media, especially TV and Cable, are largely irrelevant. Yet the tradition of using those platforms is still firmly embedded in the establishment mentality. Politicians raise tons of money, or try to, just to buy time on conventional TV and Cable that a diminishing number of people are watching. The action has shifted to podcasts, X and other social media platforms. That is what the vast majority of Americans are watching.

PATRICE GREANVILLE—The Biden gang, momentarily distracted by their depraved investment in the Gaza genocide, would love to keep the Ukraine war going as long as possible to prevent an embarrassing collapse right before the 2024 election. They will probably lose anyway. For its part, the Deep State, in charge of managing the Empire of Lies big portfolio, finally cognizant that the war is lost, is busy trying to carve up some more time in Ukraine to secure a plausibly dignified off-ramp. Hence all this cynical noise we keep hearing in some quarters about the “need” to support Ukraine to fight as long as possible in our behalf, or soon Putin will take over Europe and our boys will have to fight and die “over there” to stop the big ugly Russian bear.
