DEMOCRACY NOW—In nearly four hours of grueling congressional testimony before the Republican-led Committee on Education and the Workforce, the president of Columbia University, Nemat “Minouche” Shafik, said she had taken serious action against accusations of antisemitism on campus in recent months amid Israel’s assault on Gaza, including dismissing or removing five faculty members from the classroom, suspending 15 students and suspending two student groups — Students for Justice in Palestine and Jewish Voice for Peace. Shafik’s visit to Capitol Hill is the latest in a series of hearings on alleged antisemitism at elite U.S. private schools.

Garland Nixon: MIDDLE EAST IN DEPTH WITH LAITH MAROUF – ISRAELIS STORM AL AQSA – ISRAEL IRAN RESPONSE SYMBOLIC
8 minutes readGARLAND NIXON—LAITH MAROUF—Garland and Laith discuss the repercussions of Iran’s “warning” (or “symbolic”) strike on Israel, an effort to serve notice to this lunatically criminal entity that its provocations and international murders will not be further tolerated. The Iranian drone and missile attack on Apr 13 was designed, as previously commented, to cause the fewest human casualties, and to gather intelligence on the Israeli/US AD network. Iran’s warning is also good for the “collective West”, including the constantly scheming Hegemon itself. In a new development, as Israel has continued its assassinations of Hezbollah commanders, Hezbollah itself has begun to target and destroy Israeli command centers. Laith also comments on the media blockade on the Israeli mass assassinations (and mass graves recently discovered) of Palestinian victims in various hospital settings—Al Shifa, etc., most of them either patients being cared for or hospital staff, a heinous crime under international law that should have made headlines all over the world, but which Western media has simply memory-holed. Of course, not a pip has been heard from the West’s top leadership, who are too busy supporting the depraved Zionist regime.

JOHN VAROLI: Beyond War Profiteering — the U.S. is Now an Official Sponsor of Terrorism
by John Varoli22 minutes readJOHN VAROLI—Besides that, however, the fact is that the Russian military is now far too strong and determined. Russian soldiers understand that their country once again faces an existential threat from the West, as with Napoleon’s invasion of Russia in 1812 and Hitler’s in 1941.
The heroism of Russian soldiers is impressive. The ability of their officers to adapt and innovate has confounded U.S. generals. The dedication of Russia’s defense industries to supply the front is stunning. (Remember spring and summer 2022 when NATO officials told us that Russia would soon run out of weapons?)

How wildlife crossings protect both animals and people
5 minutes readP. GREANVILLE—This project, which as an added benefit creates jobs in the US, something badly needed at this point, costs a pittance compared to the obscene sums (such as the US$ 95 billion recently approved by our non-representative political class) to be squandered on repulsively criminal regimes in Ukraine and Israel, not to mention to pick an idiotic and equally criminal fight with China. Criminal because a war with China will be mind-boggingly destructive to everyone on this planet, including Americans, who—assuming they survive— will see their already tenuous standard of living plummet dramatically as a result of a conflict “of choice” started by the US establishment.

EDITOR—Jimmy Dore and his team explain how NPR has evolved from a decently progressive news and commentary outlet to a mouthpiece for liberal globalism, afflicted with a bad case of WOKISM and Trump derangement syndrome, that is, US imperialism with a new mask, and why it is now virtually useless to the real left.
