EDITOR—Alex Christoforou’s commentary (topics 1306 and 1307)—US House, Ukraine chants and flags. Mike Johnson is Churchill. Blinken to deliver ultimatum to China Topic 1306. One day later, (topic 1307) the tune has changed: now victory is not assured, and the only question is how and whether Ukraine can slow the Russian advance.

CALEB MAUPIN—Caleb tries to explain what he saw at Columbia, as well as clarify many misunderstandings—such as “materialism”, “overproduction”, “contradiction”— relating to terms used by Marxists in their analysis of history and society. Newcomers to socialism tend to use such terms without properly understanding their technical meaning.

JEFF J. BROWN—”The ROK Right-wing, as I said, is descended from people who collaborated with the Japanese in the colonial occupation and benefitted from Japan’s annexation of Korea.
The ROK’s wealthy elite have simply switched one master for another. They worship big powers and hate their own countrymen. They hate Korea and love Japan and America. They want ROK to be subordinated to Japan and USA forever because they benefit from such a state…”

The New McCarthyism: Congress Grills Columbia Univ. President Amid Crackdown on Pro-Palestine Protesters
18 minutes readDEMOCRACY NOW—In nearly four hours of grueling congressional testimony before the Republican-led Committee on Education and the Workforce, the president of Columbia University, Nemat “Minouche” Shafik, said she had taken serious action against accusations of antisemitism on campus in recent months amid Israel’s assault on Gaza, including dismissing or removing five faculty members from the classroom, suspending 15 students and suspending two student groups — Students for Justice in Palestine and Jewish Voice for Peace. Shafik’s visit to Capitol Hill is the latest in a series of hearings on alleged antisemitism at elite U.S. private schools.

Garland Nixon: MIDDLE EAST IN DEPTH WITH LAITH MAROUF – ISRAELIS STORM AL AQSA – ISRAEL IRAN RESPONSE SYMBOLIC
8 minutes readGARLAND NIXON—LAITH MAROUF—Garland and Laith discuss the repercussions of Iran’s “warning” (or “symbolic”) strike on Israel, an effort to serve notice to this lunatically criminal entity that its provocations and international murders will not be further tolerated. The Iranian drone and missile attack on Apr 13 was designed, as previously commented, to cause the fewest human casualties, and to gather intelligence on the Israeli/US AD network. Iran’s warning is also good for the “collective West”, including the constantly scheming Hegemon itself. In a new development, as Israel has continued its assassinations of Hezbollah commanders, Hezbollah itself has begun to target and destroy Israeli command centers. Laith also comments on the media blockade on the Israeli mass assassinations (and mass graves recently discovered) of Palestinian victims in various hospital settings—Al Shifa, etc., most of them either patients being cared for or hospital staff, a heinous crime under international law that should have made headlines all over the world, but which Western media has simply memory-holed. Of course, not a pip has been heard from the West’s top leadership, who are too busy supporting the depraved Zionist regime.
