JIMMY DORE SHOW—According to former GOP House Representative and staunch libertarian Ron Paul, elements within the United States government have for years been plotting how to overthrow the current Russian regime. The recent terror attacks, he says, were likely an outgrowth of those elements feeling that they needed to act before Ukraine capitulates and concedes defeat to Russia. Jimmy and Due Dissidence host Keaton Weiss discuss the sociopathic strain that leads U.S. Deep State officials to believe they have the right to brazenly control other nations.

EDITOR—A wide-ranging discussion on imperialism. The panel discusses the nature of Western imperialism and its nasty tendency to use all manner of dirty tricks, from global demonisation to blackmail, regime change ops, including organising proxy groups such as ISIS, economic warfare (sanctions), long-term insurgencies, and vicious targeted terrorism. Billy Bob clarifies that usually “imperialism” is chiefly understood in two forms: The Marxist-Leninist way which sees imperialism as merely the latest and most developed (and decaying) phase of capitalism, finance capitalism, and the more bourgeois, liberal interpretation, which sees imperialism simply as a big nation oppressing and exploiting weaker ones. In general, the panel agrees that, as a rule, imperialism exists when an entity—Britain, France, the US—uses the powers of the state to conquer and maintain markets around the globe, largely because capitalism, especially in the imperialist phase, needs constant expansion to survive. Carlo and Ian point out that from domestic labour disturbances, where the state can intervene in favor of the oligarchs, or allow private armies (i.e., Pinkertons, etc.) to be used against the working class, to open international intervention using national state resources such as the armed forces (Marines, navy, army, etc.) the capitalists who control the bourgeois state as a class, utllize the national might to benefit their own interests, often at the expense of the masses.

EDITOR—The selling of US imperialist foreign policy has long proceeded like comic strips plots in which the superheroes scour the globe looking for evildoers. When bad guys are found, intervention is a must on “humanitarian grounds.” That’s the official “American Way”—for suckers or 10 year olds. Yet, above all, this glaringly deceitful line hides the US empire’s crimes from the American people. Crimes that now threaten their own survival. And, by the way, there is NO DEEP STATE. There’s only the US imperialist state.

Stripe, Substack Demand Financial Details from Authors
80 minutes readROBERT MALONE—This new policy comes at a time when the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government has revealed a broad governmental program of financial surveillance and data collection targeting conservative US citizens titled “FINANCIAL SURVEILLANCE IN THE UNITED STATES: HOW FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT COMMANDEERED FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS TO SPY ON AMERICANS “. There is the appearance that Stripe may be acting at the behest of this politically motivated illegal and selective federal law enforcement program.

SCOTT RITTER—The discrediting of Putin’s government with an eye to his removal from power has been a goal of the C.I.A. since 2005, when the C.I.A., together with British intelligence, began actively working to create viable political opposition movements inside Russia.
While these efforts have largely failed (the recent death in a Russian prison of Alexei Navalny, believed to have been a creation of the C.I.A., underscores the scope and scale of this failure), the C.I.A.’s covert political warriors in the Political Action Group of the Special Activities Center continue to try to undermine Putin through various means.
