IDIOTIZED PUBLICS

MARK TAYLOR—In four years, Biden led us into a completely preventable {actually, completely unnecessary.—Ed} , devastating European land war, resulting in the deaths of a million and thrown the world to the crumbling edge of nuclear annihilation. He was responsible for the largest act of eco-terrorism in history with the bombing of the Nord Stream gas pipeline, which has crippled the European economy. And, finally, on the direction of the Isr*el and Z^onist lobby, Biden has been the chief defender, funder and weapons supplier of the obscene US/Isr*ael genocide in Gaza, which has now spread to the West Bank, Lebanon and Syria and has the region primed for war on Iran. Biden is neither “decent” nor humane. He is a racist, lying mass murderer and war criminal.

EDITOR—The panel discusses the various ways the ruling elites in the US and the West manipulate ideas and concepts to control mass consciousness about sensitive topics, especially in foreign policy, while hiding the true face of capitalism and imperialism, and the horrific costs it imposes around the globe and at home, as Americans are finally beginning to understand. Discussed: Syrian history and recent developments, nature of the “Syrian regime”; the West’s losing competition with China due to her superiority in socioeconomic and political organization (central planning, etc.); ditto for Russia, and how well applied Marxism is not dogmatic but pragmatic (allowing for capitalist firms to operate under party control); ideological concepts used opportunistically by the US ruling class to control the narrative (“branding”—like who gets called “dictator”, “authoritarian”, “ally”, etc.); mythology of US exceptionalism to justify supremacism/hegemonism; moral superiority; informational confusion and work pressures hindering mass awakening by ordinary citizens, etc. 

EDITOR—This has been easily the most dangerous transition period in history between administrations, as the Deep State Neocons embedded in the Democrat party, from Blinken, Sullivan, and Nuland on down, with plenty of bipartisan support, conspire to make things difficult for Donald Trump should he try to inaugurate more peaceful policies toward Russia. The upshot is that the world stands now literally on the edge of a terminal nuclear war, while the Zombified American masses, paralysed by enormous quantities of chauvinist propaganda and with their focus on idiotic issues and celebrities, continue to lead their lives in almost total ignorance of the looming danger.

EDITOR—Miko Peled explains the basic and irrefutable facts about the Brutal Zionist war on Palestinians and their systematic expropriation and now extermination. No one alive surpasses Miko Peled’s moral authority when it comes to the tragedy of Palestine.

GODFREE ROBERTS—Of course, the idea of nuclear-armed great powers warring is ridiculous, since ruin of at least one or both is assured. But near certain self-destruction has often fails to deter war-making when honor or ambition are involved. Churchill bankrupted Britain and destroyed the Empire rather than abandon his Prime Ministerial ambitions.

In 1933, the Japanese General Staff reported to the Cabinet that, short of Divine intervention, America would devastate Japan in a war. But, rather than become an American vassal (US control of Japan’s energy imports), the proud Japanese declared war.
