• In cynicism and power, the US propaganda machine easily surpasses Orwells Ministry of Truth.
• Now the fight against anti-semitism is being weaponised as a new sanctimonious McCarthyism.
• Unless opposed, neither justice nor our Constitutional right to Free Speech will survive this assault.

Things to keep in mind...

Neo-Nazi ideology has become one of the main protagonists of political and social life in Ukraine since the 2014 coup d'état. Meanwhile, fascist ideology and blatant lies also permeate the consciousness of most people in the West. Those in the comfortable top 10%, the "PMCs" (Professional Managerial Class), are especially vulnerable. They support and disseminate such ideas. They are the executors of the actual ruling class' orders, those in the 0.001%, who remain largely invisible. The PMCs are the political class, the media whores, the top military brass, some people in academia, and the "national security/foreign policy" industry honchos. Push back against these unethical, contaminated people with the truth while you can.

This is probably the most comprehensive and authoritative explanation of the Ukraine war, and how the rules and ways of war-making are changing due to the massive introduction of drone, missile, and other technologies. Scott explains all that, plus the ways Russians are advancing to inevitable victory, while Ukrainians, despite their depletion, continue to offer stubborn resistance. Scott believes that Ukraine is already strategically defeated, and that the world, and especially the West, will have to adjust to a drastic new reality in which Russia sets the terms.

Garland Nixon
The rules of war continue to change rapidly in the Ukraine battlefield, notes Scott Ritter, as drone and missile (and other new or revised) technologies redraw the battlefield. Ukraine has definitely lost the war, notes Ritter, and the West will have to adapt to this reality as Moscow sets the term for the peace and the future of the region.

People in the US now understand that people in Palestine need justice, says Garland Nixon. ‘I’ve lost count of the number of Democrats who tell me they’ve changed their minds on Gaza’.  The media are now trying to make us believe that this entire colossal bloodthirsty massacre, this genocide in broad daylight, is just the handiwork of a criminally deranged Netanyahu, but, in reality, this a ruse, a fraud, to cover up an even uglier reality, that the vast majority of the people in Israel are fully implicated in this crime and have been for almost a full century, since the first Nakba in 1948. Zionist Israel is a terminally sick nation.

Well, that’s a relief.  The Empire’s PR people came out right after the massacre at Crocus to tell us that it had nothing to do with Ukraine, much less with them.  They said they warned Putin that an attack was likely at a music event or something.  Of course, they couldn’t tell him where, because they didn’t know, you see.

The thing that comes to mind hearing The Empire’s solemn, bald faced denials of responsibility for the Moscow mass murders is the story of the man caught by his wife in flagrante, and as she stares at him, naked and erect, he yells to her, “Hon, it’s not me!”

I have no sound information on the Crocus horror, and so can draw no firm conclusions about it.  Anything I offered would be baseless opinion which, although very much in vogue among The Empire’s mouthpieces nowadays, does not make it past my Superego as a usable mode of operation.

Stating as fact that which cannot be verified or which is patently untrue, as in the case of most of what we are informed is real information, as opposed to the “mis”, “dis”, or “mal” types that our government is so intent on eliminating, is not a practice I can subscribe to.  I prefer to defer judgement and confess ignorance rather than to make assertions that are untethered to the reality they address.  Of course, I’m not your government.

What seems to be certain is that a few men of Tajik nationality killed over 140 people.  They were caught on the way to the Ukrainian front and are imprisoned with a number of their fellows who are said to have had some role in it.  That’s it.  There is no information on their motive, and only rumors as to sponsoring or backing, including some in our media speculating that Putin did it himself, in order,  they say—as in the Nord Stream blowup—to injure himself and his national interest.  The reasoning in The Empire’s press strongly resembles Medieval Scholasticism, or the headlines once run in the Volkischer Beobachter, but there it is.

The aftermath of the massacre is being met in Moscow with a deafening silence which the simple take to mean that it is being gagged down as a bad break that will be forgotten, but that ain’t necessarily so.  One can’t be sure, but a betting man would conclude there is deep, thorough investigation going on that will lead to sound conclusions and, perhaps, spectacular behaviors.

In contrast to the Crocus case, there seems to be no doubt that Nazi Israel took out the Iranian Embassy annex in Damascus, killing a leader of the Quds Force.  Iran has vowed to revenge the act, but again, there is official silence as the matter is investigated.

According to the latest data, at least 144 people were killed and 551 people were injured as a result of that terrorist act. At the same time, 95 people are considered missing or unaccounted for.

The prudence evinced by both injured states in exercising such restraint is both fortunate for the world and wise, since retaliation, however justified, is likely to bring on regional or even world war.  The fact that each attack was so violent and carried out on home territories—an embassy is considered part of its home country—makes the patience shown in responding to them amazing.

The quietly charged atmosphere around these provocative hits has a distinct resemblance to the tense, foreboding days in Europe after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo in 1914.  Before the horrendous bloodletting of WWI, there were a couple of weeks during which those who realized what threatened was cataclysmic held their breath in hopes of a rationality that didn’t come.  This is no prediction.  These grim events may resolve themselves in some way that avoids an eruption.  The nations involved, however incensed and insulted, may find a means of avoiding an arbitrament of force, but the fact remains that massive power blocs are in open confrontation.

What is worse is that The Empire, desperate from a string of losses and humiliations that only benefitted the War Machine—admittedly, the driving power of this sick, delaminating relic of a hegemon—and unable to face its own demotion from world boss to a sort of lethal raging granny, will continue to tempt fate with its advanced case of national dementia.  It will not relent until it gets the real war it seeks in which it will be, for the first time in its short history, thrashed within an inch of its life.  My, that will be a hard surprise to the great majority of braindead Americans.

Rhetoric can be wounding, but superior weaponry annihilates.  And The Empire doesn’t have it.  None of it.  Russia, in contrast, does.  The Empire is still basking in the glory of the incineration of Dresden and the battle of the Coral Sea.  It is as prepared as it can possibly be… for World War II.  Or even Korea or Vietnam…  But its mighty arsenal of yesteryear will be as ineffectual against hypersonics as Polish cavalry was against the Panzer Korps.

The wild card in all this is Nazi Zionist Israel.  The last six months have been as perfect a demonstration of the behavior of a nation that has not only lost its moral compass and threadbare cloak of civilization, but has even laid its rotting, repugnant soul open for the world to see, and smell.  One has to conclude that the word “Israel” must mean “murder” in Hebrew.  This psychotic entity attacked Iran directly and sees no reason to even lie about it, and the vicious affront is an act of war that demands commensurate or greater response.  And it will come.

Then, if Israel chooses, the dogs of real war can be loosed, and the range of complications becomes imponderable.  Once again, as always with Israel, Aunt Sam’s Empire is caught on its back foot by Zionist hubris, and will be pulled into any hairy stuff Herr Netanyahu precipitates.  Not that our geriatric politburo wouldn’t be keen to break a lance for our nation’s Zionist Jewish owners.  After all, as Nancy, Mitch and the whole Crone and Geezer High Command have vowed, it is—to paraphrase that old monster, George Wallace—“Israel today, Israel tomorrow, Israel forever!”

The bughouse lunacy of The Empire in its senescence is so stark that it would be risible if our lives weren’t tied to it.  But they are.

Billy Bob's Blowback Roundtable
THE WORLD THROUGH AN INDEPENDENT LEFT LENS

By Billy Bob

I did a quick elaboration this morning of some related thoughts after learning about a recent terror attack in Pakistan on a Chinese engineering convoy.

The West (aka the capitalist class) is increasingly embracing the tactic of terrorism to attack their rivals and to do their best to keep global development and prosperity from threatening their domination and control.  A Chinese convoy working on a huge infrastructure project in Pakistan was recently attacked, killing five Chinese engineers.  Al Qaeda of course is resurgent and is "all of a sudden" active in Yemen as IS continues to destabilize Afghanistan.  For years now, terrorists have been murdering soft targets including teachers, police, and other civil servants in Myanmar, in order to destabilize that country and deny China the opportunity to bring development and prosperity.  Of course "terrorists" (Western backed proxies) continue to murder in Russia and Iran and as the imperialists find themselves more and more under threat without any viable options, they will turn to terror tactics to a much greater degree than they already do.

I submit that 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).

In reality, terrorism is not a spontaneous grassroots uprising of disenfranchised violent "extremists", far from it.  Actual terrorism is a top-down tactic waged against the masses by the wealthy elite.

In a certain sense, "terrorism" is the modern manifestation of the axiom of the billionaire class that (as robber baron Jay Gould aptly asserted) "I can hire one half of the working class to kill the other half."  International terrorism including the nazi variation that exists in Eastern Europe and the Narco Terrorists that exist in Central and South America, are absolutely tools of violence and destabilization used by the elites, in order to destroy legitimate governance, political stability, and economic progress.

So what we have here are two competing conceptualizations of reality.  One is false, entirely disconnected from reality, and existing solely to confuse the masses and perpetuate the status quo.  This is the conceptualization generally known as "liberalism".  The other conceptualization is based on the foundational reality of oppositional class interests and the class struggle that results.  A class struggle that today manifests itself in the struggle against Western imperialism.

We need to recognize and understand that liberalism is an empty and false ideology designed and proliferated for no other reason than to obfuscate the primacy of class struggle and to keep people from accurately comprehending the paradigms that truly drive policies, strategies, and real world events.

Liberalism invents false paradigms and false conceptual frameworks.  Liberalism tells silly dishonest stories (like authoritarianism vs. Democracy, liberal values vs tyranny, rule followers vs. rule breakers etc, etc) in order to disguise reality and pretend that there is no such thing as a global capitalist class that sees the masses as a threat to their interests and who need to be constantly attacked with propaganda, disinformation, mass incarceration, and genocide when necessary.

Meanwhile, the paradigm of class struggle provides the most accurate explanation for why things are as they are.  The lens of class struggle allows the masses to see through the lies of liberalism and to accurately perceive reality as it truly exists. In reality, terrorism is not a spontaneous grassroots uprising of disenfranchised violent "extremists", far from it.  

Actual terrorism is a top-down tactic waged against the masses by the wealthy elite.  Alternatively, resistance to elitist exploitation and subjugation, is not terrorism at all.  One must work to do their best to discard their liberal indoctrination in order to know the difference between these entirely different phenomena which liberalism seeks to lie about and manipulate.
