AMERICAN PARTY DUOPOLY

GLEN FORD—What makes the U.S. “chattering classes” so worthless is their refusal to talk about anything except those subjects that are approved for public discourse by the Lords of Capital, as certified by the high priests of corporate media. If the chattering classes were permitted to discuss truly important subjects – such as, Who Rules? — their yammering might hold some social value. However, the obvious fact of corporate dictatorship is also the great taboo. When the overarching reality of our times – the Dictatorship of (White) Capital, from which all of the planet’s existential crises flow — is verboten, haram, unspeakable, most of what’s left to busy the lips is mindless, meaningless chatter that is utterly useless to the task of fixing what ails society. 

In this latest episode Jimmy discusses the blatant betrayals of the Democrat rank-and-file and public in general by the DNC, with Bernie Sanders, true to form, saying absolutely nothing. 

ERIC ZUESSE—An important public statement was made on July 27th by Bill Binney, the U.S. Government’s top expert on the internet, and on computer hacking. He had been the Technical Director of the NSA when he quit and became a whistleblower against that Agency while George W. Bush was the U.S. President and invaded Iraq on the basis of faked evidence. Binney has now laid out, in this speech, the evidence that he wants to present in court against Barack Obama’s CIA, that it defrauded Americans to believe in “Russiagate” (the allegation that Russia ‘hacked’ the computers of Hillary Clinton and Democratic Party officials and fed that information to Wikileaks and other organizations). Binney cites evidence, which, if true, conclusively proves that Russiagate was actually created fraudulently by the CIA’s extensive evidence-tampering, which subsequently became covered-up by the Special Counsel Robert Mueller, in his investigations for the Democratic Party’s first (and failed) try at impeaching and removing from office U.S. President Donald J. Trump.

PAUL STREET—As if all this wasn’t a sufficiently rough ride down Orwell’s dark corridors, Trump refused to answer in the affirmative when Wallace asked him if the president would honor the outcome of the 2020 election were Biden to win. “I will tell you at the time,” Trump said.” I’ll keep you in suspense. OK?”

Translation: the Trumpenstein will not accept the outcome of an election that does not go his way. He’ll count on William Barr, the bikers, cops, soldiers and other “tough guys” to join him in trying to veto a count that doesn’t go his way. Or else, well, you know, “civil war.”

CALEB MAUPIN—Caleb’s discussion in this episode focuses on the evilness of imperialism, the natural spawn of capitalism; the rise of the Sino-Russian alliance in Eurasia, the ugliness of Jim Crow, and the importance of doing the right thing at all times. And much more.
