ERIC ZUESSE—RFK Jr. is strongly against continuing the war in Ukraine (he’s the only candidate in both Parties who is) — this war that has brought hundreds of billions of dollars of additional sales to NATO’s armaments-manufacturers; and, so their ‘news’-media are overwhelmingly campaigning against him and for Biden to win the Democratic Party’s nomination.

PATRICE GREANVILLE—As expected, given their obsessive hatred of Putin, the US media and their global accomplices are already blaming the Russian leader for Prigozhin’s demise. This is premature gloating, to say the least, as explained below. And false marketing. They are giving us disinformation instead of legitimate journalism, which is the norm these days, as journalism or semblance thereof is rarely practiced in the West except when it relates to completely inane and non-political matters, such as sports commentary (way way too much of it), the weather, or the decadent and idiotic lives of obscenely rich celebrities.

JIMMY DORE SHOW—Which is a greater threat to the average American, sunburn or lack of medical care? Well, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has shown she’s not going to do anything about the latter, so at least she’s dedicating time and energy to reducing your exposure to the sun’s harmful rays in the form of a recent video she recorded demanding changes to the FDA’s regulations regarding sunscreen.

EDWARD J. CURTIN—The United States is very much a psychological society. Sociological and historical analyses are considered insignificant to people’s identities. It’s as if economics, politics, culture, and propaganda are beside the point.
Yes, it is often admitted that circumstances, such as illness, death, divorce, unemployment, etc. affect people, but such circumstances are not considered central to who people are and whom they become.

E.J. CURTIN—Nothing could be truer. When in 2014 the U.S. engineered the coup in Ukraine (coups being an American specialty), it allied itself with neo-Nazi forces to oppose Russia. This alliance should have shocked no one; it is the American way. Back in the 1980s when the U.S. was supporting death squads in Central America, Ronald Reagan told the world that “The Contras are the moral equivalent of the Founding Fathers.” Now the Ukrainian president Zelensky is feted as a great hero, Biden telling him in an Oval Office visit that “it’s an honor to be by your side.” Such alliances are not anomalies but the crude reality of U. S. history.
