11/10/2023 Episode 31 of Blowback: Exposing Imperial Decline with special guests Dr. Tony Monteiro and John Steppling.
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. The discussion focuses on the extraordinary opportunities currently presenting themselves for the authentic left to push for progress and the weakening of Western Imperialism. Various examples of imperial decline are highlighted from the unprecedented opposition to Israel, to the Establishment’s struggle to find a suitable alternative to Trump. A worthwhile and wide ranging discussion difficult to summarize in a few sentences. John’s work can be found here:

The slaughter of the people of Gaza by the Zionist Nazi state of Israel continues as the world, largely appalled at the depth of its depravity, the ferocity of its cruelty, toward victim Palestinians, watches sickened but afraid to act to stop it. Rationally so, since all pleas to halt it have been flatly rejected, and to intercede by military force risks a regional, and quite possibly a world, war.
In vengeance for a savage, stunning Hamas attack on sacrosanct Eretz Israel, its Oberkommando, under their blood-lusting Fuhrer, Netanyahu, has directed its Wehrmacht to ravage and destroy, by Blitzkrieg, the entire population of their captive victims.
To see this people, Zionist Jews, whose forebears were nearly eradicated themselves by a psychologically identical, maniacally vicious nation of braindead Ubermenschen, adopt this hideous rassenhass is astonishing: the mind rejects the idea.
And yet, it can’t be denied; it must be comprehended. Zionist Israel, a fascistic, militarist nation, is bitterly divided over its own religion. The brutal, xenophobic state, flaunting its worship of violent force—in celebration of which its fanatic, racist people dance and chant—has turned its back utterly on the core morality of Judaism. True practitioners of the ancient faith, the Haredim, are harassed and persecuted by the police and the army, and considered enemies of the state for fiercely opposing its secular immorality, its using Judaism as Christianity is used by the American Empire, to buttress a de facto tyranny.
Americans, especially the great propagandized majority who are so morally dead they defend Zionist genocide, need to be very clear, while this murderous, inhuman crime is in full swing, that it could not be done without the express permission and full complicity of The Empire. Israel exists because of The Empire’s backing—financially, politically, militarily—to be an outpost of its Exceptionalist fantasy, a bulwark against Moslem cultures that—shameless pretense notwithstanding—American elites hate and fear. Because Zionist money elects and owns our Congress via AIPAC, its lobbying arm, our bought politicians, against all logic and self-interest, put Israel’s welfare above that of the country they swore to serve. This is treason, by definition.
NYC area Hasidic Jews convene at the Nassau Coliseum in 2018 to hear why true Torah Jews are and should remain anti-Zionists.
The American Empire, as though it were not already sufficiently tar-babied with its tanking Ukraine shitshow, is now in an even more painful posture, joined at the hip with the Fuhrer’s excellent Gaza adventure. To show its fealty to the Zionist Final Solution to the Palestinian Problem, our feeble-minded CEO has sent two aircraft carriers to back the massacre of civilians. In so doing, he risks two grave outcomes. One is, that carriers that dominated at Midway and Leyte Gulf are now simply huge, static, gas cans for the sophisticated missiles Hezbollah and Arab states possess. The second is, that aiding the Zionist butchery of innocents, he risks alienating the entire Moslem world permanently.
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.
As the horrifying devastation continues with intentional targeting of any possible refuge of safety for helpless civilians—schools, hospitals, refugee camps, even designated escape corridors—it is clear that Netanyahu’s indiscriminate bombardment has eliminated the need for the Einsatzgruppen Hitler used in his murder machine. Extermination now is done better remotely. Of course, there is still a role for Zionist Totenkopf regiments, to do by hand what escapes the wholesale devastation of ordnance.
Orthodox Jew in Jerusalem: By an uncomfortable majority they oppose the State of Israel and Zionist ideology in general. One of Israel's many internal contradictions, pointing to its unsustainability.
Zionist Israel makes much of its putative history as related in the Torah and Tanakh, in supporting its right to occupy Palestine. It prefers to forget how the Jews’ mightiest prophets were its most damning critics when Jewish power transgressed the law. The words of those rebellious martyrs come back aflame today.
Micah said ( Micah 6:8) “What hath the Lord required of you but to do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God?”
Isaiah said (Isaiah 28:15) : “For we have made a Covenant with Death, and with Hell are we at agreement.”
The supreme irony and greatest tragedy for the Jewish people of many races and nations is that Zionist Israel, in claiming to be the great center of resistance to anti-Semitism, has now appalled and alienated most of the world, which does not understand that the vast majority of Jews are neither Zionists, nor its supporters.
Israel has shown the world its true nature in images of wanton, barbaric horror that are ineradicable from human memory. It stands revealed as what it is: a nation without conscience, mercy or justice, begun and sustained with murderous violence, and eager to maintain its exclusive, apartheid tyranny by genocide.
The doom Israel has contrived for itself is based on the fact that the lesson Zionists took from the nightmare of the Shoah was that power is the only sure defense against inhuman cruelty. With the mantra, “never again”, they swore not to be victimized, but in their rage and pain they did not comprehend that justice demands all people be spared the odious violence they suffered. They adopted the evils of the monsters that had nearly destroyed them and, in so doing, betrayed the conscience of their race.
And Matthew asked (Matthew 3:7) “O, Generation of Vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?”
ADDENDUM Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro speaks at the Nassau Coliseum just before the start of the convention of Torah Jewry Against Zionism on Sunday, June 3, 2018. More than 15,000 Jews attended the event.

11/7/2023 Episode 30 of Blowback: Exposing Imperial Decline with special guests Vladimir Golstein and Ian Kummer.
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 hypocrisy and moral bankruptcy of Western media and political elites.

US POLITICAL ELITE SEVERELY WOUNDED BY FOREIGN POLICY
Please make sure these dispatches reach as many readers as possible. Share with kin, friends and workmates and ask them to do likewise.
Garland Nixon
The Western media are finally reporting on Israel's barbarism...BUT they always insert qualifiers that also serve as excuses, in this case, well, "we killed hundreds but we got one Hamas official..."
This is the payoff, in propaganda terms, of demonising Hamas relentlessly.
"There are injured and dead everywhere..."
US POLITICAL ELITE SEVERELY WOUNDED BY FOREIGN POLICY
Its Ukraine and Israel Neocon projects in tatters
Garland Nixon Nov 5, 2023
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 of innocence and good will 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 by the Zionist regime with full approval and support of Washington and the EU.
It’s now being reported that over 300,000 people were in attendance at the DC protest against Israel’s assault on Gaza & the Palestinian people 😱🇵🇸 ✊ pic.twitter.com/sgEQ89x60N
