EDITOR—Two distinguished intellectual heavyweights join the Blowback roundtable to discuss current events and to help expose the many examples of imperial decline that are currently taking place. Dr. Anthony Monteiro is a life long activist and founding member of the Saturday Free School. He highlights the need for institutions like the Saturday Free School and provides a crash course on the life of Henry Winston in the run up to this weekend’s symposium celebrating 50 years of Winston’s “Strategy for a Black Agenda”. John Steppling is a lifelong activist, artist, and playwright currently residing in Norway. He runs his own educational outreach podcast called Aesthetic Resistance. He details the dearth of genuine education in the West and underscores the need for alternative grass-roots education systems to help the masses to better understand the reality that the ruling establishment seeks to obfuscate.

PAUL EDWARDS—The idiotic bind that The Empire is in is one they chose by their long, duplicitous, two-faced vaudeville act in the Middle East. This Gaza slaughter has drawn the curtain exposing The Great Oz, and made starkly obvious the payoff for playing both ends against the middle. If it backs the murderous Zionist Reich, it must see its cringing romancing of previously wholly-owned tyrannies such as Saudi Arabia and Turkey end forever. There is no clean, or even dirty way—as in Afghanistan—out of this political iron maiden in which it has sealed itself. Official America backs wholesale murder of children and no spin can hide that.

BLOWBACK—The panel discusses Israel’s genocidist’s posture toward Palestinians, the negative impact of 10/7 on the myths supporting the US empire and its vassals (among which Israel stands out), and how this will probably accelerate the decline in global power by the US and the prospects for Israel’s long-term survival. Hamas’ blow, despite its immense cost to the Palestinian people, has broken the cycle of gradual asphyxiation applied by a sociopathic Israel over decades, and exposed the moral bankruptcy of Western media and political elites.

GARLAND NIXON—Garland attends the Washington DC Nov 4 pro-Palestine demonstration and is amazed and encouraged by its magnitude, in the hundreds of thousands, unexpected by some given the the fact the organisers had little time to make it happen. The US imperialist ruling class, and its world accomplices and tools, such as the US Democrat party and Western media, are likely to find a much tougher terrain henceforth when spouting lies to cover their crimes, say Garland. The carefully maintained mask has fallen off, and masses of people, especially the younger generations, are not likely to buy into the myth of US exceptionalism. As for Israel, NOT a real country, but an imperial strategic outpost in the Middle East, its days are numbered, says Garland. Its depravity has been laid bare, and no amount of propaganda will erase the images of Gaza being genocided in cold blood.
