EDITOR—Sabby presents the “debate” between “Rabbi” Shmuley —a shameless Zionist propagandist—and Norman Finkelstein, first aired on the Piers Mrgan show, with Shmuley, as usual, trying to buffalo his opponent, while Norman remains absolutely calm in the face of a torrent of ad hominem provocations. Piers Morgan doesn’t help much as a moderator; the man clearly has his orders from above, so he actually piles on Norman Finkelstein until the latter puts him in his place. Sabby, meanwhile, champing at the bit, literally boils with rage and frustration while Norman does not seem unduly unruffled by Shmuley’s insults. It’s clear she would have probably disposed of Shmuley on the first round.

CAITLIN JOHNSTONE—In reality the nature of the US-centralized empire allows it to run a massive, nonstop international propaganda campaign through mass media platforms which are mostly privately owned. The fact that these mass media outlets look independent but function as propaganda organs for the US empire allows its propaganda to fly into people’s minds without triggering any gag reflex of critical thinking or skepticism, which wouldn’t be the case if people knew those outlets were feeding them propaganda. Propaganda only really has persuasive power if you don’t know it’s happening to you.

T P WILKINSON—One of the principles by which counter-insurgency is waged is by creating outlaws and removing them from the sight or oversight of the regular government and social infrastructure. This has also been done through what is now called “disappearing”. However hostage taking by the counter-insurgency agencies and their operatives has the perfidious effect of creating outlaws in the public perception by staging hostage incidents that appear to be perpetrated by the so-called “terrorists”. Thus the mythic propaganda of the deed is turned against those engaged in struggle- whether or not armed- to elicit the revulsion among the target population commensurate with this violation of the Geneva protocols.

26 minutes readCAITLIN JOHNSTONE—”These are the people who’ve been pulling the wool over the eyes of the mainstream public and manipulating the masses into thinking, speaking, working, consuming, and voting in ways that serve the interests of the ruling power structure. In this way they are able to ensure that revolutionary opposition to that power structure remains a fringe minority position, even as that power structure wages wars, sponsors genocides, destroys the biosphere, and keeps everyone poor, sick, and stupid…”

BRIAN BERLETIC—FPV drones transform cheap, easy-to-produce drones into precision guided weapons. FPV drones have several disadvantages including loss-of-signal as it begins its attack dive or encounters electronic warfare. AI targeting allows an operator to designate a target while still in signal line-of-sight and before entering an area defended by electronic warfare, for the AI to then automatically guide the drone to its target without any external signal. Russia’s large military industrial base lends its an advantage in both quantity and quality over Ukraine and its Western sponsors.
