BRITISH/ EU/ NATO COMPLICITY

TONY SUTTON—If the system is so obviously flawed, then how does capitalism continue to get away with such shameless, self-centred behaviour? That’s the question that Rosenthal confronts in the early sections of Rebel Minds, where she analyses the physical and mental torment created by ever-increasing demands of profit-hungry bosses on workers who have become numbed by mindless and meaningless, drudgery in jobs that barely pay their bills.

ANDRE VLTCHEK—I suggest we talk. Publicly. Let us debate the very definitions of democracy. Let us discuss who has done more harm to the world: China or the West? I am ready, anytime. If the leaders of Hong Kong riots, or “protests” are confident that they are correct, let us face each other, in front of microphones and cameras.

Seems like Google, a corporate giant that has eagerly collaborated with the US government in fighting “fake news” (read: silence dissident anti-imperialist news), and was happy to apply Trump’s trade sanctions on China is now reaping the whirlwind, as it richly deserves.

ERIC ZUESSE—So, what had begun as a plan to globalize the UK empire by means of attaching the U.S. to it, has by now become a vassalage of UK to U.S., which vassalization will produce an asset-stripping of the UK state, and a resultant soaring impoverishment of the UK public, which population the U.S. and UK international corporations will then drain, thus creating a greatly increased emigration from the UK. The UK empire has thus come crashing down.

A few days back we heard about George Galloway’s new initiative to form a new and genuine workers’ party upon the ashes of a crippled and highly corrupted Labour. Galloway, well known for calling a spade a spade, has long been derided by the establishment media and politicians, their approach in this case being that of what we might call “soft demonisation”—that is, concentrate on mocking him as “not serious”, a joke, a compulsive publicity hog, a reckless anti-semite and so on.
