"Wartime Cafe" EP11: Dr Marandi "Nasrallah assassination: beauty of resistance is what motivates us."

  • In cynicism and power, the US propaganda machine easily surpasses Orwells Ministry of Truth.
  • Now the fight against anti-semitism is being weaponised as a new sanctimonious McCarthyism.
  • Unless opposed, neither justice nor our Constitutional right to Free Speech will survive this assault.

A correction on what Dr. Marandi said, namely that the US and Israel would be partners. That is not true because in fact all that is happening in Near Asia is the will of the US government and executing its foreign policies, which are based on proxy wars. Israel is executing US foreign policy in its regional wars as much as is the war in Ukraine fighting Russia (helped by European vassals like the UK and France). All that is happening on the Western globe is subject to US demands, supported by its financial dominance. What distinguishes Ukraine from Israel… Read more »

The strategy for Near Asia is clear. Like with Ukraine where the US forced Russia to respond, so it is trying to provoke Iran. By allowing Israel to attack Gaza, thereby provoking Hezbollah, which forced Iran to respond (who wisely keeps that at minimal level), Washington hopes to create a proxy war between Israel and Iran. And like with Ukraine making Israel the dupe.

The Biden-cabal wants to have their Israel proxy war with Iran speeded up before the election or at least soon after, with minimal resistance from the other party. Iran as crafty as China in diplomacy and equally planning ahead is trying to slow the hotheads in Washington and Israel down, where every action is made ad hoc and who cannot conceive of another culture being more advanced than their own. It is the crux of the differences between the East and the West of this globe (depending from which direction you judge), so maybe that old colonialist Kipling was right… Read more »

The Near Asia resistance knows that the US uses proxy methods for all its foreign policies. From Boris Johnson who is responsible for the continuation of the Russia/Ukraine war in 2021 when both were ready for a ceasefire, to the present Israel/Hezbollah/Iran war. It is presented as a caution by Biden not to attack Iran’s nuclear centers, which in a proxy strategy absolves the US from any responsibility. But it shows the Janus-mask tactic when at the same time the US stacks Israel with money and weaponry. No more masses of fallen Vietnam heroes arriving in the US. Deferred in… Read more »

You’ll see that the utterly Machiavellian strategy you outline is real when the whore media begins to feature more stories about Israel’s criminality. Blackening its character (which will only require telling the truth about it) will be the first step toward its betrayal by Washington. The media posture is your bellwether. The whores in the political class will follow.

An interesting comment, because it reveals that the US media make policies. This is not always true of course but they seem to have a preponderance in power, where it concerns war (vide the Hearst story about Cuba which caused the Spanish war) and the struggle within the US two-party system: a candidate for the presidency without merit versus a New York real-estate man who “will sell the US to Russia”. Telling the truth hardly enters in. What one hears and sees on television or reads in the several daily papers reflects the opinion of its elite owners (not like… Read more »

But the mass media are not self-directing in their lies and outrageous biases. Like any puppet, they lack agency, although they do a good job of seeming autonomous. The media simply represent the viewpoints and policies favored by the ruling corporate elites, operating in any advanced capitalist society, in almost seamless integration with the political class. The top tiers of the working media discharge their functions according to their own self-interest (careerism), class congruencies with the ruling order, and professional acculturation. In general no one is needed to tell them how to handle “the news”. Their talent to read the… Read more »

INDEED

What I wanted to express is that the elite, surrounded and protected by like-minded personnel are unassailable, while their main media are fragile. The elite does not have to give orders for a direction that the news must take, it is automatically slanted to protect the status quo. And in this capitalist society there is no room for thought alternatives, because they are automatically ruled out as crazy phantasies. And all those who think that Trump with his crude, but honest outbursts might be a choice from the grimacing posterchild Kamala, better keep their mouth shut, which reflects the totalitarian… Read more »

Brilliant comment, Gui. With one small quibble. You state: “from the carefully airbrushed ‘news hostesses’, who are as victimized as the viewers.” They are certainly, in most cases, “victims” of the universal brainwash that also afflicts some run-of-the-mill ruling-class types, the “follow-our-music” nonthinking legion. But the results of swallowing this mind poison are different, qualitatively enormously different. Such people enjoy the benefits of living in the privileged tiers of society, albeit members of a criminal and utterly depraved social order. Their everyday lives are not affected in the least by such an agreement with the official narrative. For the masses,… Read more »

I accept your correction though frankly often mental and emotional pain is far worse than physical pain. The deprivations presently encountered in the West are simply colonialism brought home and what the masses (milder or more acutely) feel and endure is what was for eons imposed on colonies far and wide. Everyone suffers under capitalism and though one may envy the media monsters, the emptiness and unbearable desperation after a life full of lies is hard to endure. I do not feel sorry for oppressors but I do not envy them either, they are indeed the executioners for a very… Read more »

Sorry, Gui. Still don’t buy it. The idea that “psychological pain”, “mental pain” is significant in the PMC class, the new Mandarin class in the corporate world, is a projection of bourgie sensitivity. The media and political whores, for the most part, like countless other vermin who profit in the decomposing imperialist order, are not—by and large—distinguished by their robust sense of moral conscience. People like Gazans, being bombed to smithereens ALSO have enormous mental pain to deal with, like the pain of oppression, the pain of ubiquitous torture and danger, of seeing their loved ones blown to bits with… Read more »
