ED CURTIN—When Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., a presidential aspirant, folded his cards and conceded the current pot to Donald Trump – what he euphemistically called suspending his campaign for the presidency – he let his justifiable hatred of the Democratic Party, their undermining of his campaign, and their pro-war and genocidal agenda get the best of him. His trust in Trump is naïve in the extreme. With the issue that Kennedy has made central to his work in recent years – Covid and the “vaccines” – Trump is in the opposite camp.

GARLAND NIXON discusses the shabby political motives behind the state’s harassment and intimidation of anti-imperialist foreign policy activists like SCOTT RITTER. Garland talks about the work Scott does to bring the peoples of Russia and the former Soviet Union and US closer as friends who understand each other as human beings, thereby facilitating international peace. Scott, married to a woman from Georgia (Europe), a nation formerly part of the USSR, and with a lot of friends and connections in Russia, where he is well-liked. Speaking about the paranoid measures implemented by the US government. Garland mentions the case of Tulsi Gabbard, who was recently put on a “quiet skies” TSA list deeming her a “potential terrorist”. Every time she flies now, absurd as it sounds, the TSA and other security agencies inject a full security team to fly along with her. The FBI and the rest of the security agencies, notes Garland, don’t do these things because they are incompetent or stupid. They are simply “leaning” on their targets to show them they don’t like what they are doing and want them to stop. The same kind of intimidation and judicial persecution is happening right now in America’s vassal states in Europe, where people are being tried for opinion that “helps Russian propaganda”.

BILLY BOB—Trump is nothing more than a callous, self-interested salesman, selling us the idea that he is a genuine Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Castro, or Ho Chi Minh, while he simultaneously upholds the lie that socialism is evil. I mean, what a fucking farce all of this is. Trump is trying to sell us on revolution while he must simultaneously pander to the inculcated biases of the masses and affirm that history’s actual and authentic revolutionaries, were “bad”. This is the pathetic state of Western society: The lines that divide the people against themselves, to the benefit of the oligarchs are imaginary and not based on any sort of actual fundamental political or economic reality. What a monumental brainwashing success this has been and what an accomplishment for their system of indoctrination, confusion, and control. They have succeeded in destroying the minds of the masses and they have divorced the masses from reality itself.
