DAVID WALSH—The disproportionate attention paid to Perry was a transparent effort to divert public attention from one of the greatest war crimes committed since the end of World War II, a war crime being carried out in the manner of the Nazis. The political and media establishment is terrified of the widespread public opposition to the mass death and destruction and that opposition’s increasing depth and breadth within the population. The establishment is desperate to find ways and means of keeping the reality from reaching the public.

16 minutes readEDWARD CURTIN—Neither the Israeli nor American government can allow themselves to be humiliated, U.S./NATO by the Russians in Ukraine and the Israelis by the Palestinians.

Demonising China: Insidious television for recalcitrant fools
18 minutes readPATRICE GREANVILLE—American television—especially when it comes to its “news programs”—is supremely insidious. Mind you, I use the word advisedly. The dictionary tells us that in·sid·i·ous is the equivalent of underhanded, sneaky, deceitful and dishonest. You get the point. This is their default mode, learned in over a century of promptly executing the desires of their masters, the shady billionaires whose cliques control the shaping of all US international policy. Because US foreign policy is imperialist, that is, it sees the world with malignity as only comprised of vassals or sovereign countries to conquer, the system’s mainstream media‚ in reality a gigantic machine of distraction and propaganda…
