MAIN EDITORS—The term MICIMATT, coined by former CIA officer Ray McGovern, stands for Military-Industrial-Congressional-Intelligence-Media-Academia-Think-Tank complex. This concept extends President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s warning about the Military-Industrial Complex (MIC) in his 1961 farewell address, highlighting the expanding and evolving influence of these interconnected sectors over U.S. government policy and decision-making. MICIMATT encapsulates the comprehensive network of interests that drive and sustain U.S. militarism and interventionist policies through various forms of influence, from political lobbying to media manipulation and academic endorsements.

EDITORS—Discussion focuses on a variety of topics: Ukraine’s “Kursk Invasion”, essentially a border crossing that has gotten gradually larger, with the involvement of a special forces brigade. With no actual strategic value, the incursion is widely believed (on both sides of the dialog) to be an exercise, once again, in optics, a p.r. stunt to get Kiev in a better negotiating position, raise morale for a virtually collapsing army, etc. Maybe it’s “Kursk 2.0” for the Germans. • EU tightens the garrote on Hungary and Slovakia, seen as “deviants” from the Western “globalist script”. • Another topic of attention is whether Ukraine is really near collapse, in which case its military capability should dissolve before 2025, or if the country, with stubborn support from Western neocons, will be persuaded or forced to fight on, and whether or not Europe is willing to sacrifice itself for the sake of the globalist capitalist class. • Meantime, the UK riots point to the threat and promise of the rising right movements and parties, many of which may refuse to be incorporated into the anti-Russia project, while still holding contradictory views toward Israel, which even hardcore neonazis seem to support. Still, dark rumblings across many Western countries, the riots in the UK, etc., signal that the near future may see mass challenges to the West’s puppet elites, whose rule, for the benefit of Washington, and the growing economic insecurity caused by capitalism, underscores the lack of pervasive sovereignty of the entire continent.

EDITOR—Garland and Laith, a well-respected geopolitical analyst, videographer, and cultural historian living in South Lebanon, discuss how the war between the Axis of Resistance, led by Iran, and the collective West and Israel, is gaining momentum on both sides, as the anti-imperialist alliance, supported by Russia, carefully plans its next moves, while warning treacherous countries like Jordan, Egypt and Turkey not to meddle this time in defense of the Zio-American bloc, which may find itself confronting more enemies on every side than they bargained for. Laith speaks as Israeli bombs and missiles shake his neighbourhood. Both Garland and Laith are convinced that the coming wars created by Western imperialism in Ukraine and the Middle East, which are already detonating serious social and political disturbances in the West, and a wave of anti-Muslim chauvinism in the UK and the Continental EU, probably son to be seen in the US, will also bring martial law, mass repression, totalitarian censorship, and concentration camps, as fascism with a democratic face extends its hold over the globe. Fasten your seatbelts, girls and boys, it’s gonna be a bumpy flight!

GARLAND NIXON discusses the shabby political motives behind the state’s harassment and intimidation of anti-imperialist foreign policy activists like SCOTT RITTER. Garland talks about the work Scott does to bring the peoples of Russia and the former Soviet Union and US closer as friends who understand each other as human beings, thereby facilitating international peace. Scott, married to a woman from Georgia (Europe), a nation formerly part of the USSR, and with a lot of friends and connections in Russia, where he is well-liked. Speaking about the paranoid measures implemented by the US government. Garland mentions the case of Tulsi Gabbard, who was recently put on a “quiet skies” TSA list deeming her a “potential terrorist”. Every time she flies now, absurd as it sounds, the TSA and other security agencies inject a full security team to fly along with her. The FBI and the rest of the security agencies, notes Garland, don’t do these things because they are incompetent or stupid. They are simply “leaning” on their targets to show them they don’t like what they are doing and want them to stop. The same kind of intimidation and judicial persecution is happening right now in America’s vassal states in Europe, where people are being tried for opinion that “helps Russian propaganda”.
