JEFF J. BROWN—This is Jeff’s most recent conversation with the well-known geopolitical analyst and (genuine) journalist Pepe Escobar. The focus is on the tug of war between the US epire and its vassals in the EU and elsewhere, and the emrging bloc of truly independent powers led by Russia, China and Iran. The world is watching the birth of a new order. American global hegemony, enforced by lies, hypocrisy, economic blackmail and military power is on the way out, largely victim of its own arrogance and excess. Meanwhile, Moscow and Beijing are busy constructing a multilateral order based on mutual benefit and respect.

We are happy to see Robert Vannrox file a clear and passionate response to the ugly shooting in Georgia, part of a nationwide outbreak of violence directed at Asians living in America. That this sickness is very much prompted by the regime of massive ignorance, division, racial hatreds, and propaganda that permeates American life is beyond doubt. China is being aggressively demonized by the US oligarchic establishment, from politicians like Trump and Biden and their cohorts, to media figures across the phony “bipartisan” spectrum. Donald Trump spent most of his disgraceful four years in office scapegoating China, muslims and immigrants, in general, without ever explaining how America became de-industrialised, or why so many poor Latin immigrants are showing up on our borders. Of course, no American politician or media pundit would dare to explain that much to the perennially clueless and confused population, as to educate the American people about such matters is tantamount to indicting the imperialist system they all so abjectly serve. Unfortunately, malignant propaganda works, folks. And the innocent dead people in Atlanta prove it.

Chronicles of the Criminally Insane: America has decided to wage a hot war against China. It’s not if, it’s when.
82 minutes readMETALLIC MAN—America will try and push and push China into an action. If China fails “to take the bait”, then America will make up and fabricate a “false flag” event that will justify a war.
Now, let it be understood that America is not allowed to go to war without Congressional approval.
But that is meaningless.America is currently fighting eight simultaneous wars all over the world directly and another twenty or so surreptitiously. None of which were specifically authorized by Congress.
So do not expect that the normal war declaration process will be followed. It will not.
Just expect a “false flag” event as an excuse to go to war within the next couple of years, if not months.

JEFF J. BROWN—Though momentarily accursed with a terrible cold, which often triggers fits of cough, our Jeff Brown still keeps his appointment with Regis Tremblay. The result is an invaluable interview, a window into what China is really like today, by someone who, along with his family, has lived and experienced that nation for almost 20 years, and who has also evolved from an admitedly “arrogant Westerner” with a bad superiority complex into a humbled, commited socialist with a deeply fraternal perspective on all of humanity.
