The Zero Hour with RJ Eskow
Max Blumenthal: The War Machine Reloads
Max discusses with R J Eskow the gathering storm fueled by the US and its vassals and accomplices, particularly NATO and Israel, in the Middle East, China, and the Ukraine, all and any of which could trigger a global conflagration. Meantime, Iran, politically and economically stressed due to US sanctions, has managed to develop, despite constant attacks, its ballistic missile technology (non-nuclear), to protect itself from total assault by Israel and the West. This eminently rational position is dismissed by the Biden administration (as did Trump's), which continues to insist on Iran practically disarming unilaterally. The prospects for peace look dim, especially since the US leadership has no real vision for an adaptation to a multilateral world. The US, argues, Blumenthal, is virtually pushing countries like Iran to create or participate in a non-dollar economic sphere. This, he believes, may accelerate the fall of the US tyranny. The rapacious and by design exploitative imperial model of economic interaction is finished, implies Blumenthal. China offers a different, win-win trade deals model, and it is clear in time most nations will choose the Chinese way over the anglo-american (eurocentric) template of economic exchange.
—The Editor
Our main image motif: Painted by famed Mexican muralist Diego Rivera, Glorious Victory is a critical and condemnatory view of the 1954 CIA coup of Guatemala’s democratically elected president Jacobo Árbenz Guzmán. The United States removed Árbenz from power and replaced him with a dictatorial military commander because Árbenz threatened the landholdings of the United Fruit Company with his agrarian reform laws. In the center of the mural, secretary of state John Foster Dulles is seen shaking hands with military commander and then president Castillo Armas, Washington's putschist general. Rivera paints Dulles with an expression of idiocy to demonstrate how he was too ignorant (or indifferent) to understand the terrible chain of events he had sparked.
