A must-watch video for anyone who cares about the preservation of freedom and truth. In his entire career, Glenn Greenwald has never produced a more urgent, lucid, or braver anatomy of disinformation in the modern age. Let this program stand as a guide to the manufacturing of lies in support of tyrannical power everywhere, and especially in the United States.

While rich establishmentarians like Bill Maher try to pretend there is a real democracy in the US, or that the Dems are its champions, Jimmy strongly disagrees. (And so do we, of course.) THE DEMS ARE NOT THE “LESSER EVIL” BUT THE MORE EFFECTIVE EVIL, AS THE LATE GLEN FORD WARNED US. Jimmy uses a hilarious collage by Turncoat Don to illustrate what Maher deserves for his cynical misleading of the clueless public. A man that smart surely knows better.

Oligarchy Wins Big As Democrats Pretend Losses Are Victories
8 minutes readAs the final counting takes place in the 2022 midterm elections, Democrats are already crowing about holding off a supposed “red wave” even though they may yet lose the House and Senate. But independent of the outcome in the blue vs red contest, the clear winners will be, as they always are, the oligarchs representing Wall Street, Big Pharma, Big Oil, the heathcare industry and Silicon Valley. Jimmy and his panel of Revolutionary Blackout Network host Nick Cruse and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger break down the results of the midterm elections and how fascism and oligarchy managed to eke out yet another electoral victory.

How ‘Democracies’ Degenerate Into Minoritarian Right-Wing Governments (Aristocracies)
16 minutes readERIC ZUESSE—After the recent French Parliamentary elections, the current French President, Emmanuel Macron, who has often been ruling by decree, will do so even more than before. As the Iranian journalist in Paris, Ramin Mazaheri, recently said: “Elections at just 46% turnout are a hair’s breadth away from not having democratic credibility, but that must be added with [to] the constant use of the 49-3 executive decree and the certainty of a Brussels’ veto for any legislation they don’t like. It combines to modern autocracy – rule by an oligarchical elite.”

Is Noam Chomsky a Qualified Military Analyst?
13 minutes readKIM PETERSEN—I grant that Chomsky is indeed a polymath, but is he an expert on military operations? Scott Ritter and Brian Berletic (The New Atlas channel), on the other hand, are Americans steeped in militarism. Berletic is a former US marine and Ritter is a former intelligence officer for the US marines. Both of them explain the Russian strategy in shaping the battlefield. The reason for this is to minimize Russian casualties and Ukrainian civilian casualties. This is unlike American Shock and Awe warfare where “collateral damage” (as killing of civilians by US military is trivialized) is accepted to attain US military objectives.
