FALSE FLAGS & PROVOCATIONS

INDRAJIT—The world is quite integrated and America’s enemies aren’t even trying to take it down, which is costly for them and risks global annihilation. They’re just trying to defend themselves but America cannot stop offending, even with its pants falling down and teeth falling out. The American Empire could last for decades out of sheer inertia, but they’re losing it this decade out of sheer cussedness. America came in genociding and fighting and, dagnabit, they’re going out that way.

This is all unnecessary, but the indispensable nation just can’t help themselves.

EDITOR—Various correspondents debunk the “Amsterdam pogrom” story pushed by major Western media, including the BBC, the New York Times, SkyNews, CNN, and others.

MAIN EDITORS—Garland and Scott talk about “Operation Dawn Brunch” (Sunday, Oct 27, 2024) in Tudor City (45 Tudor City Place, NY 10017), an event with many of today’s most articulate antiwar, free speech, anti-imperialist and pro (genuine) democracy activists. The brunch cum panel discussions will feature, among others, Garland Nixon, Scott Ritter, Russell Dobular, Jimmy Dore, Danny Haiphong, Dennis Fritz, Diane Sare, Jose Vega, and others of equal merit.
In this episode of Warrior Update with Scott Ritter (#78), Scott explains the plight in Ukraine as the war inexorably winds down to a huge defeat for the US-supported Kiev Banderista regime and its NATO sponsors. As the regime collapses, chaos and violence spread, and winter takes its toll, many Ukrainians may want to flee to the EU, creating an enormous refugee crisis in a continent already swamped with African and Middle Eastern immigrants, most of them product of the economic and social dislocations triggered by the US empire’s intrigues and regime change operations. Furthermore, notes, Scott, Ukrainian neo-Nazis may not be embraced by the rest of Europe. Ukrainians are not very well liked by many people in Europe, including in Germany. They will likely end up filling the bottom ranks of a highly stressed labour market, at a moment when the EU’s economy is rapidly tanking due (again) to America’s hegemonist policies. Many of the men, accustomed to violence and relative lawlessness, may end up choosing lives of crime, while many women may simply become prostitutes or be victimised by sex traffickers profiting from the chaos and the breakdown of civil society.

MAIN EDITORS—10/4/2024 Episode 114 of Blowback: Exposing Imperial Decline with special guests Christopher Black and Max Parry.
The panel debates the question of who is actually setting global foreign policy in the US, especially in the Middle East, where many believe the Zionist lobby wields disproportionate influence. Is the Israeli lobby actually the most important factor in US foreign policy? Can it be said that this is a case of the tail wagging the dog? 

CAITLIN JOHNSTONE—The Australian political-media class have been in an uproar ever since footage surfaced of people waving Hezbollah flags at a protest in Melbourne over the weekend and displaying pictures of the group’s deceased leader Hassan Nasrallah, who was assassinated by Israel in a massive airstrike on Friday. 

After initially stating that no crime had been committed in these acts of political speech, Victoria police are now saying they have identified six potentially criminal incidents related to the demonstration. These incidents reportedly involve “prohibited symbols” in violation of the Counter-Terrorism Legislation Amendment which was enacted last year. 

Needless to say, free nations do not have “prohibited symbols”.
