EDITOR—Touchy issues of sex, gender, LGBQT politics, direction of the military, etc., are discussed with Gen. Anthony Tata (Ret.). Note that Gen. Tata is apparently deeply disliked by the Deep State. This is reflected in a highly inflammatory and tendentious Wikipedia page, a reliable barometer of what the hidden establishment thinks of public figures. Tata, unfortunately, like many senior members of the US military and countless people of right-wing/conservative persuasion, is unfortunately poisoned by the (unofficial) religion of America, hatred of communism, a doctrine he, like many others in the same tribe, knows practically nothing about, except the caricaturesque indoctrination all Americans receive in schools, media and other opinion-shaping institutions. Thus he, like Trump, et al can call capitalist/imperialists like Obama, “a communist”. Or, believe, like Trump has declared, that Putin would have never invaded Ukraine on his watch out of fear of American retaliation. Which is patently ridiculous, besides showing massive ignorance about the basic realities of international affairs. Fortunately, Jimmy Dore dispenses straightforward correctives to all this nonsense, while schooling the general and the audience about the essential facts.

How Many Gazans Have Already Died? Perhaps 200,000.
16 minutes readEDITOR—It matters greatly whether the aggregate toll so far, and counting, is three, four, five, six times more than the Health Ministry’s undercount. It matters for elevating the urgency for a permanent cease-fire, and direct and massive humanitarian aid by the U.S. and other countries, bypassing the sadistic cruelty against innocent families of the Israeli siege. It matters for the columnists and editorial writers who have been self-censoring themselves, with some, like the Post’s Charles Lane, fictionally claiming that Israel’s military doesn’t “intentionally target civilians.” It matters for accountability under international law.

Youhoo! Tucker! Here is why Putin calls for denazification (which you called “the dumbest thing I ever heard of”).
by Don Hank53 minutes readDON HANK—It eventually dawned on me that this Russophobia to which I was exposed – and didn’t know its name yet – was only part of a bigger phenomenon that I call Westernness, which is in fact an infectious psycho-social disease, ie, primarily a way of thinking and functioning, one of whose symptoms is a general recalcitrant mediocrity and incompetence that in America has spread throughout academe, the professions, politics (in particular), the military, the think tanks, intelligence agencies, the media, Big Religion and the general populace. But it is also a sociopathy, making it invisible to the wide public.

NATO headed for Nuclear war with Russia? Scott Ritter, Steve Starr, and Jose Vega with Diane Sare
by Diane Sare7 minutes readEDITOR—The panel discusses the colossal moral turpitude and imbecility of today’s leadership in the “collective West”, constantly starting wars and other acts of hostility against scores of nations that reject their imperialist rule, and why the populations subject to their criminal, undemocratic rule need to push for a new kind of political system assuring freedom and democracy instead of a fake democracy restricted to the super-rich elites. ONLY that can assure people all over the world a chance at surviving nuclear war and other catastrophes brought about by a decadent imperial system.
