EDITOR—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.

Why Biden Doesn’t Want Americans to Visit Russia
27 minutes readJOHN VAROLI—In their effort to support the liberal globalist war machine, major western media unabashedly fabricate their coverage of Russia, a country that they hate because of its defense of national sovereignty and traditional values.
In the realm of western media lies, life in Russia is akin to North Korea — poverty is rampant and economic collapse imminent under the pressure of sanctions; secret police scour dark empty streets for hapless victims to drag off to slave labor camps; the Kremlin arbitrarily invades neighboring nations “to rebuild the Soviet empire”; and every Russian wants to escape and flee to the West.

CHRISTIAN PARENTI—Trump described his foreign policy as “America First,” thus tapping into a more-than-century-long strain of American isolationism, or conservative anti-war sentiment. But his attacks on American empire were not ideologically coherent. He hated NATO but he loved Israel. He increased pressure in Cuba, but did the opposite with North Korea. He increased the military budget even as he attempted to withdraw troops all over the planet. His reasoning, when given, was crassly transactional.

CAITLIN JOHNSTONE—Losing an election costs Democratic party leaders nothing; all the career politicians and political operatives at the top keep their careers either way. From their point of view this is just a cushy job with sweet benefits, and they keep those win or lose. And obviously Biden himself doesn’t care; he’ll have a comfortable retirement regardless of the outcome in November, and on some level he’s surely aware that it’s nuts for a dementia patient to be in the White House anyway.
If the Democrats cared about getting your vote they’d be trying hard to earn it. They’re not trying because they don’t care.

8 minutes readEDITOR—Nikki wins DC! Germany blames Putin, Russia hybrid attack. New $66B Ukraine package. SU-34 receipts. Alex conducts an in-depth exploration of US politics (Nikki Haley’s surprising but meaningless win in DC; the US political class gyrations around the latest 60+ billion package for Ukraine, and the new European developments, including Germany’s underhanded plans to attack the Kerch bridge in Crimea, supply long-range Taurus missiles, and similar measures, as well as Macron’s ludicrous proposal for a NATO open intervention in Ukraine, signifying WW3; and much more as the collective West struggles with a formula to avoid the embarrassment of a clear defeat at Putin’s hands.
