EDITOR—Because of his apparent “reasonableness” in matters concerning Russia, the Ukraine War, and the Middle East, John Mearsheimer seems to many to be a public intellectual deserving of wide respect and credibility, says Garland Nixon, but such a view would be wrong. For Mearsheimer is just another Neocon, albeit a Neocon whose predilect bogeyman is China, the most dangerous of all possible US adversaries. Listen carefully to this talk by Garland analysing how a confrontation with China could easily get out of hand and escalate to all-out nuclear war, and you will see why Mearsheimer may be much more toxic than even John Bolton or Victoria Nuland, both chiefly obsessed with Russia.

ERIC ZUESSE—n May 11th, CNN published a harrowing report based on satellite photos, courageous Israeli whistleblowers, and some surviving Gazans, describing various forms of torture by Israel’s Government, against captured Gazans. Since the report was badly written and edited, it failed to say anything about why they had been selected for torture, but, even if all of them were from the 20 thousand or so members of the strictly Palestinian organization Hamas (though some of these torture-victims were doctors from Indonesia and other Muslim countries and were otherwise not credible to have been members of Hamas), Israel here is committing international-war crimes.

ERIC ZUESSE—So: a person’s circumstances tend to determine which club that person belongs to. The Democratic National Committee and the Republican National Committee both are clubs, and they both pretend to represent their voters, but actually they do not and never have. They represent the mega-donors who fund it. The billionaires who fund the Republican Party put up candidates who pretend to represent the self-interest of their voters, whereas the billionaires who fund the Democratic Party put up candidates who pretend to represent the nation’s interest.

GLENN GREENWALD: Congress Pushes to Silence Israel Critics with “Antisemitism Awareness” Bill
8 minutes readEDITOR—BELOW is the full program, as it appears on Rumble. We reprint it here, too, because YouTube (owned by Google) is totally unreliable; practices a capricious form of censorship (without appeal) that dismisses the First Amendment and shows no consistent respect for free speech, acting instead in accord with the wishes and commands of the globalist ruling elites and their governmental shills in Congress, media and the judiciary.

British Doctor Trying to Save Lives of Gazan Civilians Severely Injured by Israeli Bombs
41 minutes readFELIX ABT—We also watch in disbelief as the last vestiges of moral decency are turned upside down: Those of us who oppose genocide are accused of condoning it. Those who commit genocide are exercising their right to self-defense! In September, before the paramilitary wing of Hamas overran the Israeli border on October 7, 2023 (a sober analysis can be found here), Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu showed a map of the so-called New Middle East at a session of the UN General Assembly. The Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem had all been incorporated into a Greater Israel. Ironically, he insisted that Israel should extend “from the river to the sea.” Palestine had ceased to exist. Palestinians are forced to choose between death by bombing, disease, exposure, starvation or expulsion from their homeland.
