ROGER BOYD—Within this mysticism is The Man of Destiny, created by the propagandists funded with ruling class money. His image will never be allowed to be tarnished by the actual policies and real personal history. Does not the cult of Obama fit with the Man of Destiny? A man whose path in life was carefully groomed and lubricated, with a meteoric political rise, who perfectly served the ruling elite instead of the people throughout his two terms? The man who told the bankers that he was there to protect them against the avenging people, who ramped up covert operations and the surveillance state, who prosecuted whistleblowers but not war criminals and torturers, destroyed Libya and Syria, remained in Afghanistan and Iraq, and turned the hope of real healthcare reform into a new massive capitalist subsidy program? Of course Trump is attempting to also fill that role, but his Man of Destiny project is spoiled by the resistance of the Mainstream Media. In the same way that TikTok has undermined the Israeli Nation of Destiny project.

PAUL EDWARDS—Paul Edwards is a genuine Renaissance man, gifted with many talents and participant in many events and struggles of our tormented times. Our colleague Jeff Brown, who did a fine interview with him, sums it up thusly: “Paul’s life story is worthy of a biography: a rebel youth growing up, traveling and working around the world and then a long career as a Hollywood writer. Through it all, he has never lost his lifelong wrath against US imperialism and global capitalism, while seeking social and economic justice for humanity’s 99%…”

Politician Calls For “Hiroshima” Solution To Gaza
7 minutes readEDITOR—Tim Walberg, a Republican US politician that somehow represents the utterly benighted people of Southern Michigan, is emblematic of the repugnant state of American politics. This moral imbecile, who in any country with some functional media, political culture, and education, should not be elected to ANY public office, has now proposed to “nuke” Gaza. This pathetic coward is now trying to walk back his idiotic and criminal utterance, but it’s hard to disavow something so vile as his proposal. We know that the long-suffering Palestinian people have no friends in the US political class of either party, as both faces of the uniparty are completely in the pocket of the MICIMATT (Military-Industrial-Congressional-Intelligence-Media-Academia-Think-Tank) complex, a confabulation of interests and nstitutions constantly pushing, hypocritically and sanctimoniously, for war and imperialism. It is in this rigged cultural cesspool that Americans “make their presidential choice” every four years, a particularly cruel joke in 2024 as Donald Trump is as pro Israel as any Democrat. Yes, this is the best Democracy that money can buy. Look what it gets us.

Western “Leftists” Eulogize and Praise Alexei Navalny | The Black Church Provides Cover for Genocide
250 Mins readEDITOR—Interested in an “unapologetic Black, leftist, working-class” perspective on current sociopolitical events? If so, join us as we speak with Nick Cruse, citizen journalist and co-founder of Revolutionary Blackout Network (RBN). We discuss a variety of topics, including the importance of independent Black, working-class commentary in an age of corporatized journalism, the leftist failures of electoral politics in the US, the absence of an established leftist perspective in mainstream media, the challenges of social media activism (particularly the “BreadTube” effect), as well as the potential to change the current status quo through ground-up, working class solidarity.
