CAITLIN JOHNSTONE—All current evidence indicates that Poland was accidentally hit by one of those missiles while Ukraine was defending itself from Russian missile strikes. President Biden has said it’s “unlikely” that the missile which killed two Poles came from Russia, while Polish president Andrzej Duda and NATO secretary general Jens Stoltenberg both said it looks like it was an accidental strike from Ukrainian air defenses. Russia says its own missile strikes have been no closer than 35 km from the Polish border.

In less than half an hour Saby conclusively shows that the US (and much of the world) may be dying because the left in the US doesn’t really exist, and the rest of the West is not doing so well, either. To compound the problem, its devious incarnation, WOKE liberalism, constantly aggravates matters, by discrediting the true left. This doesn’t make the Right’s message much better, but, to WOKE liberals’ chagrin, it is the Right that is now increasingly saying what needs to be said.

GLENN GREENWALD—I want to share a story about Cabo Daciolo. It has nothing to do with the election. Vote for whoever you want. David and Daciolo only met a few months ago, when they found themselves in the same party. A friendship quickly formed. David talked a lot about their bond. Since David was admitted to the ICU two months ago, Cabo Daciolo hasn’t stopped calling to ask about David, send prayers, give comfort. He went to David’s room in the ICU to pray with and for David – including just days before his election day. Few in Brazil’s political world have done as much. He did all this without seeking any attention. Indeed, he told me he didn’t want any media attention. He didn’t want any publicity.

The FBI was thus born primarily as a national security agency, charged with the domestic front. Over the ensuing decades, the agency accumulated a voluminous record of underhanded and controversial interventions, many clearly unconstitutional. It was precisely to deflect public attention from this unpopular political police role that the establishment began to provide the masses with a different image of the FBI, one concerned with leading “public enemies”, notorious gangsters and racqueteers. The “crime busters” image was reinforced by carefully managed p.r. campaigns and compliant media programs, such as the eponymous TV series The FBI, which made the agency a welcome fixture of Americana in most US households.

Is Noam Chomsky a Qualified Military Analyst?
13 minutes readKIM PETERSEN—I grant that Chomsky is indeed a polymath, but is he an expert on military operations? Scott Ritter and Brian Berletic (The New Atlas channel), on the other hand, are Americans steeped in militarism. Berletic is a former US marine and Ritter is a former intelligence officer for the US marines. Both of them explain the Russian strategy in shaping the battlefield. The reason for this is to minimize Russian casualties and Ukrainian civilian casualties. This is unlike American Shock and Awe warfare where “collateral damage” (as killing of civilians by US military is trivialized) is accepted to attain US military objectives.
