LARRY JOHNSON—I am not Chicken Little aka Henny Penny — “a little chicken convinced that the sky is falling and that life as we, or at least as chickens know it, is over.” So, when I write that the world sits on the precipice of disaster as the West continues to promote war as a solution to Russia, China, Iran and the Palestinians, I am not hyping for the sake of getting attention. I hope for the sake of your children and grand children that I am wrong, but the escalating bellicose rhetoric in the United States, Europe and Israel signals that our future is filled with the potential for horrific destruction not seen since the end of World War II.

EDITOR—Despite the endorsement of celebrities—Susan Sarandon, Annie Lenox, et al—Clare Daly lost her seat at the EU. Her independence, and her fierce criticisms of Israel and US imperialism support for the Ukraine War, plus scathing attacks on the scoundrel media, sealed her fate. While they were to many an example of principled politics, the Irish media painted her and Mick Wallace as “an embarrassment and a disgrace” to Ireland.

EDITOR—Soiled diaper on D-Day. Who is actually running the US, asks investigative journalist Anya Parampil, because it clearly isn’t Joe Biden. The oligarchic nature of the US government, its hidden behind the throne corporate forces and billionaires, should be the concern of every thinking American, says Anya Parampil, in this chat assessing the dangers and possibilities for ordinary Americans as they go through a process of social and political chaos and disintegration with no clear understanding of the personalities involved nor the actual outcomes. As most readers of this publication know, the duopoly only offers “lesser evil” candidates, and each round of elections the choices are worse. Is there any consequential daylight between Trump and Biden?

We’ve Seen This “Antisemitism Crisis On The Left” Script Before
25 minutes readCAITLIN JOHNSTONE—It sure is a crazy coincidence how western politicians and media always start urgently telling us about an invisible epidemic of left wing antisemitism every time western military ties to Israel are subjected to widespread public scrutiny.
It’s getting bad, and it will likely get worse.
The mass media are filling up with op-eds and cable news segments about how antisemitic leftist anti-genocide protesters are becoming.
Instagram progressive Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently hosted two virulent Zionists in a livestream where the three spent their time concern trolling about the rise of antisemitism in left-wing activist circles.

Scott Ritter: Biden’s PROVOCATIONS Forced Russia To Bring Nuclear Missiles to Caribbean
by Scott Ritter7 minutes readEDITOR—Scott Ritter reminds Americans that the US and its allies are now on the brink of a highly probable (and totally avoidable) nuclear war with Russia, as the US, after dismantling all crucial nuclear weapons accords with Moscow that guaranteed mutually assured destruction (and thereby kept the peace through a balance of terror), continues to seek first- strike nuclear capability, a reckless and criminal idea that almost guarantees a nuclear Armageddon.
Scott wonders aloud how we could come to this point, surely a huge failure of democracy (in that regard Scott still talks as if we had a genuine Constitutional democracy in the US, or still have it, which is a civics textbook ideal, but not a reality in America for at least 175 years. It is only through the patience and wisdom of Russian leadership that we have avoided a nuclear war, notes Scott.
