CAPITALIST FRONTS

The recent multi-pronged attack on Joe Rogan has been exposed as an organized hatchet job, likely coordinated by a Democratic Party-affiliated SuperPAC called Meidas Touch. The effort has sought to smear Rogan as a spreader of COVID misinformation and a racist. Jimmy and comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the likely reasons why Rogan was targeted and why others with much worse records have escaped scrutiny.

We are not exactly fans of Sens. Ted Cruz or Tom Cotton, but credit where credit is due: they bring up cogent questions that need to be asked in the midst of a naked fabrication to inflate the events of Jan. 6 into something like 9/11 or Pearl Harbor (or worse, as some Democrats continue to bay), in order to tighten the repression noose around America’s citizens. In our second featured video (below) Jimmy continues his exposure of Big Pharma’s —led by Pfizer—nefarious influence on US affairs, starting with its outrageous stranglehold on media and public policy over matters of enormous importance, such as healthcare policy.

The President of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, asserted that there is a whole movement against Pedro Castillo, President of Peru, whom he recognized as a leader from the grassroots. 

“The Government of Peru is going through a difficult situation,” said the Mexican President when he revealed that the Secretary of Finance, Rogelio Ramírez de la Obrador, traveled to said country to support “in whatever way we can” the Latin American territory that is going through a political crisis due to the impeachment plan against Pres. Pedro Castillo.

According to López Obrador, right-wing opposition groups have orchestrated a whole movement in which “conservatism, supported even by Vargas Llosa, something irrational” prevails.

On the second day of this video conference hosted by Biden, news emerged of the British High Court ruling in favor of the U.S. government that Julian Assange is to be extradited to the United States to face trumped-up charges of espionage which could result in a death sentence. Assange is being persecuted for exposing massive U.S. war crimes, crimes against humanity, global espionage felonies and corruption. His case is a hideous warning that free speech and independent journalism are under ruthless attack by the U.S. authorities. In other words, the biggest enemy of the most basic of democratic rights is the United States government – and yet at the same time, we have this grotesque conference hosted by Biden declaring support for democracy.

JACQUES PAUWELS—Western historiography tends to focus on the Wehrmacht’s spectacular advances and victories in the opening stages of Operation Barbarossa, while ignoring or minimizing its losses; conversely, the Soviet losses receive plenty of attention, while any Soviet successes tend to be ignored or downplayed. Even though the Wehrmacht’s performance did indeed appear to be very impressive, Hitler’s blitzkrieg in the east started to lose its blitz qualities after only a few weeks. Robert Kershaw, a specialist in the German-Soviet war, has described how “Blitzkrieg momentum petered out” as early as the first week of July, “the tempo faltered” in the following weeks, and the vanguards ceased “sprinting as they had done in the Polish and French campaigns.”
