CHRIS HEDGES—There was once a wing of the Democratic Party that stood up to the war industry. J. William Fulbright, George McGovern, Gene McCarthy, Mike Gravel, William Proxmire, and, of course, Dennis Kucinich. But that was largely decades ago. The new Democrats, especially with the presidency of Bill Clinton, became shills not only for corporate America, but the arms industry. The massive military budget, $858 billion in military spending allocated for fiscal year 2023, is an increase of $45 billion over the Biden administration’s budget request, and nearly $80 billion more than the amount appropriated by Congress for the current fiscal year.

JIMMY DORE SHOW—Dr. Pierre Kory was among the earliest members of the U.S. medical community to raise his voice in opposition to the nation’s response to the coronavirus pandemic. Now that he’s become something of a pariah for speaking the truth, he’s consolidated his experience and wealth of information into a new book, The War on Ivermectin. Jimmy talks to Dr. Kory about the calculated propaganda campaign waged by the medical and pharmaceutical establishment against the “wonder drug” Ivermectin.

ERIC ZUESSE—In virtually every country that’s allied with the U.S. Government against Russia and against China, there is a low public job-approval-rating for its head-of-state and for its Government, and a rating that is far lower than is the public job-approval for the leaders of the countries that the U.S. gang are trying to regime-change.

ERIC ZUESSE—One of those polls, the Harvard-Harris poll that’s run by Hillary Clinton’s former chief strategist Mark Penn, is specifically trying to find information that might help the Democratic Party to suppress the likelihood of RFK Jr.’s becoming the nominee, and so their first poll on this, in mid-May, excluded even mentioning RFK Jr. as an option though RFK Jr. had already publicly announced his candidacy a month earlier, but they did list Maryanne Williamson (the only other announced contestant against Biden) plus 11 other Democrats (including Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Pete Buttigieg, AOC, Gavin Newsom, and Elizabeth Warren).

MAO—Liberalism is extremely harmful in a revolutionary collective. It is a corrosive which eats away unity, undermines cohesion, causes apathy and creates dissension. It robs the revolutionary ranks of compact organization and strict discipline, prevents policies from being carried through and alienates the Party organizations from the masses which the Party leads. It is an extremely bad tendency.
