INTERNATIONAL BRAINWASH

CAITLIN JOHNSTONE—It sure is a crazy coincidence how western politicians and media always start urgently telling us about an invisible epidemic of left wing antisemitism every time western military ties to Israel are subjected to widespread public scrutiny.

It’s getting bad, and it will likely get worse.

The mass media are filling up with op-eds and cable news segments about how antisemitic leftist anti-genocide protesters are becoming. 

Instagram progressive Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently hosted two virulent Zionists in a livestream where the three spent their time concern trolling about the rise of antisemitism in left-wing activist circles.

RAZ SEGAL—Israel’s campaign to displace Gazans—and potentially expel them altogether into Egypt—is yet another chapter in the Nakba, in which an estimated 750,000 Palestinians were driven from their homes during the 1948 war that led to the creation of the State of Israel. But the assault on Gaza can also be understood in other terms: as a textbook case of genocide unfolding in front of our eyes. I say this as a scholar of genocide, who has spent many years writing about Israeli mass violence against Palestinians. I have written about settler colonialism and Jewish supremacy in Israel, the distortion of the Holocaust to boost the Israeli arms industry, the weaponization of antisemitism accusations to justify Israeli violence against Palestinians, and the racist regime of Israeli apartheid.

RAMIN MAZAHERI—The nationalist view of modern history obscures the fact that it is ideologies which matter, not borders. Ideologies are what produce and define management systems – i.e. governments – and it’s crystal clear that the last 15 years have seen the socialist-inspired management system (China, Iran, North Korea and to a lesser extent Russia) defeat the liberalism-inspired management system economically, militarily and politically. Liberalism is at a Great Depression-level nadir in terms of global admiration.

BILLY BOB—The inculcated conceptualization of autonomous terrorist groups existing and violently pursuing their radical agendas while the West tirelessly works to track them and protect innocent people (you know, the basic understanding of “terrorism” as spread by Hollywood and the State Department on a daily basis) is absolutely false and entirely detached from objective reality. Terrorism is the tool of the elites.  Those that the West calls “terrorists” but do not actually control (like Hezbollah, the IRGC, and the Houthis) of course are not terrorists at all.  They are popular groups that resist Western imperialism and who fight against Western backed terrorists (like AL Qaeda and IS).

JIMMY DORE SHOW—According to former GOP House Representative and staunch libertarian Ron Paul, elements within the United States government have for years been plotting how to overthrow the current Russian regime. The recent terror attacks, he says, were likely an outgrowth of those elements feeling that they needed to act before Ukraine capitulates and concedes defeat to Russia. Jimmy and Due Dissidence host Keaton Weiss discuss the sociopathic strain that leads U.S. Deep State officials to believe they have the right to brazenly control other nations.
