JORDAN CHARITON—Donald Trump and Elon Musk have joined forces to hand over the American government and economy to the billionaires and tech vampires of Silicon Valley. Steve Grumbine joins Jordan Chariton as they break down in detail what is happening that you need to know.
EDITOR—CHRIS HEDGES explains the subtle but far-reaching differences between living under a corporatist regime, as the Biden regime illustrated, and a full-on oligarchic tyranny, as exemplified by the reign of Trump and his coterie of princelings like Elon Musk.
JOHN RACHEL—These are different times. No longer does innocence bloom. Hope is a four-letter word, gutted by abuse, now a contemptuous metaphor for hypocrisy and cunning. Faith, charity and love have been quantified, digitized, commodified, sexualized, turned into more weapons of mass deception and poisoning of the human spirit; just box cutters in the toolbox of a tiny elite, self-anointed as the class of absolute privilege and ultimate prerogative, self-appointed as Masters of the Universe. The sociopaths have won the class war and sit at the top of the sh*tpile they’re fabricating. No, good people, forgiveness is no longer recommended, no longer possible, such graciousness is not the appropriate noble response anymore. We simply cannot forgive those who are doing to our world what we see happening right now.
DON HANK—The cauldron is brewing. Now we are burning them. The enemy is being finished off from Kyiv to Odessa. Russian soldiers will decide, not the US. [I have noticed that Russian air strikes have intensified greatly now that Trump is offering to mediate. I get the impression that Putin is not happy with the direction the talks have taken but is too polite to say so. The stepped up military action is his way of communicating this]
Events on the front over the past week have followed a more severe scenario. In the Sumy oblast, our troops have brewed a cauldron for the Ukrainian Armed Forces group in Sudzha. The Aerospace Forces are openly finishing off the enemy throughout the rear – from Kyiv to Odessa. It is obvious that the fate of Ukraine will be decided by Russian soldiers, not the US. We will tell you what is happening.
INDRAJIT—How does this happen? Why won’t it stop? My sweet summer child, nobody gives a fuck. Boeing is an apt representation of America in that both are trying to relive the 1960s without the manufacturing base or the luck. Both institutions are being private-equitied to death by people who are more than happy to make a killing while making a buck. The Boeing 737, for example, is a 1968 airframe that’s been pushed into the modern era by pencil-pushers, not engineers. Like everything else in American culture, the 737-MAX is a reboot, and stale and failing to boot.
