CAPITALIST SICKNESS

China is rapidly replacing—or matching—Russia’s demonisation campaigns. In the usual US propaganda playbook mode of facilitating the injection of mental venoms, a whole country deemed an adversary by the US elites summed up in a singly evil leader. The apex of this disinformation approach was and remains anti-Stalinism, a short-hand designed to stand for anything relating to communism, the Soviet Union, and socialism.  In this episode of Newsbud, Peter Lee dissects the ways US policymakers —acting as usual on behalf of the 0.0001% controlling the American nation—are scheming to create an atmosphere of complete hostility toward China. If unchalenged, this will not end well.

PETER KOENIG—The IMF has been instrumental in helping to destroy the economy of myriad countries, notably, and to start with, the new Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union, and Greece, Ukraine and lately Argentina, to mention just a few.  Madame Christine Lagarde, as chief of the IMF, had a heavy hand in the annihilation of at least the last three mentioned. She is now taking over the Presidency of the European Central Bank (ECB). There, she expects to complete the job that Mario Draghi had started but was not quite able to finish: Further bleeding the economy of Europe, especially southern Europe into anemia.

RYAN GUNDERSON—It is fitting that the far right are most attracted to the cultural-Marxist boogeyman tale discussed above, not only because a group of radical Jewish academic refugees of Nazism is an ideal scapegoat for anti-Semitic reactionaries, but also because the Frankfurt School’s research on the fascist’s and “potential fascist” pseudo-conservative’s personality and ideology still depicts the modern authoritarian personality’s character and worldview with eerie accuracy.

JOHN R HALL—From their corporate cages all domesticated sentient beings await their turns to become martyrs to capitalism.  Cows, pigs, sheep, turkeys, and chickens moo, oink, bleat, gobble, and cackle their way to the meat grinders.  Credit card zombified humanoids, distracted beyond all hope by shiny objects and virgins fondling credit cards, spend like drunken sailors, then toil like slaves, under the threatening whip of bankruptcy, hunger, and homelessness, calloused hands digging their own early earthly graves.

CASS DEAN—At one point, just after the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the rise to power of Boris Yeltsin, Nemtsov was Russia’s Golden Boy, the nino adorado, handsome, smart, westernized, the face of the future. He had a meteoric rise in Russia’s government, eventually landing the plum bureaucratic job in the land, managing the “loans for shares” program, which bankrupted Russia and created the oligarchy by selling off the sovereign wealth of the Russian people for pennies on the dollar.
