P. GREANVILLE—In recent days we have published a number of posts focusing on the central issue that should concern anyone subject to a ruling class that does not represent their interests, or which, more often than not, is criminally inimical to their interests. Fine minds like Garland Nixon and Joti Brar (see here, for example), historian Eric Zuesse, and the Blowback/Billy Bob roundtable —inter alia—have provided great explorations of this topic, but the complexity of the US imperial ruling class makes it hard to pin down. This a historically unusual class due to its many layers of hypocrisy, an enormous machinery of distraction and deception, the diversity and dispersion of its interlocking power centers (conjuring up the “Deep State”), and its sheer overall size.

A wide-ranging discussion by Garland Nixon and Joti Brar on the tasks ahead to save humanity from the collapse of imperialism, a process that connotes constant wars, increased repression, and the immiseration of the working class across the globe. Garland also dissects the Neocon’s “Narcissist” personality which suits the empire to a “T”, given the US empire’s pathological arrogance, criminality, and complete lack of empathy, among other narcissistic traits. Incidentally, even Google accepts that: “Marxist–Leninist states are commonly referred to as “communist states” by Western academics. Marxist–Leninists reject anarchism and left communism, as well as reformist socialism and social democracy. They oppose fascism and liberal democracy, and are anti-imperialists.”

Taiwanese separatists are so sino-screwed, one way or another.
35 minutes readJEFF J. BROWN—Since 1949, the Mainland has told the world loudly and clearly that it will reunite Taiwan by force, if the island tries to become an independent country. No wiggle room, no ambiguity, no bullshit. In Chinese President Xi Jinping’s recent 19th Communist Party Congress speech, he alluded that the goal is to have all of China reunited by 2049.

EDITOR—A war on off- patent, FDA-approved, inexpensive, safe “repurposed drugs” has been waged by the pharmaceutical industry for decades in an attempt to preserve profits for novel, patented, high-profit drugs. Ivermectin, a well-known antiviral and anti-parasitic drug (currently a generic, hence its low cost) is at the center of a huge controversy with establishment entities—government agencies, industry groups (Big Pharma), and most media trying to badmouth and criminalise the upstart drug in favor of much more expensive and profitable new drugs patented by Pfizer and similar pharmaceutical oligopolies which may not work as well as Ivermectin.

EDITOR—This 21st-century fascism, spearheaded on behalf of the globalist 0.001% by the US Democrats in cahoots with powerful sections of the Deep State, and their media lackeys, is now caught in an existential dilemma: It has accumulated so many crimes that it cannot “come clean”, as that might trigger a catastrophic class rebellion likely to overthrow the reigning affiliated oligarchies across the planet. The pent-up frustration is so widespread and profound at this point, that axes, pitchforks, and even the guillotine come to mind.
