JIM KAVANAGH (Quoting Trump)—TRUMP: You better believe it… I will tell you that our system is broken. I gave to many people. Before this, before two months ago, I was a businessman. I give to everybody. When they call, I give. And you know what? When I need something from them, two years later, three years later, I call them. They are there for me. And that’s a broken system.

RAMIN MAZAHERI—Telling the tale [about the Iran missile attack] properly the day after is the work known as “journalism”: journalism is the history of yesterday, after all. It’s not easy, but are Western journalists not doing the work here, or are they wilfully lying?
That’s a real question, because any decent journalist today (and any average citizen who wishes to be well-informed) knows the modern media landscape requires examining three areas where news can now be found: the MSM, the alternative media and social media.
On social media there’s no lack of videos which show Iranian missiles striking land time and time again.

EDITORS—HIGHLIGHT: Given the huge size and number of the “bunker busters” used to flatten a whole residential area in Beirut to kill Hezbollah’s leader Hassan Nasrallah, the general supposition is now that this attack was made possible by the participation of US/NATO warplanes. The Western media has kept almost totally mum about this story.
Garland and Laith dissect the literally explosive situation in the Middle East, and how the rise of an increasingly well armed resistance impacts and complicates the global politics of US imperialism. Laith and Garland concur that this will likely be a long war, similar to the Algerian war of liberation, or the Vietnam War. Liberation wars don’t come cheap in terms of lives and infrastructure lost. As well, the team discusses how a Mideast war may affect the politics throughout the West, precipitating huge economic and political shifts in Europe, the US and Japan. As a result of a war in the ME pushing oil prices sky-high, Laith and Garland visualise the possibility of enormous disruptions in the imperial core itself, obligating (or providing the opportunity to) the ruling establishment to declare Martial Law, suspend elections, assassinate Trump, or implement other shifts and extreme policies across the globe.
