IMPERIALISM

CAITLIN JOHNSTONE—Our job is to wake up the mainstream public. This is very feasible, as trust in the imperial media is at an all-time low while our ability to network and share information is at an all-time high. It does mean we need to stop thinking of ourselves as radicals (we’re not radical, we’re just sane) and push inward from the fringes to the heart of the mainstream public as hard as we can.

The World Health Organization (WHO) director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesusstrongly criticizedbig pharma for profiteering and vaccine inequalities. Adhanom charged that younger, healthier adults in wealthy countries were being prioritized for vaccination against COVID-19 before older people or health care workers in poorer countries and that markets were sought to maximize profitability.

This passionate rant by the inimitable Fiorella Isabel just blew me away. The uncomfortable truths about the pseudo left and the incoming repression of the authentic left, the criminal Democrats (and their roten duopoly) have rarely been laid out as clearly and forcefully as in this presentation. Not to mention Fiorella’s robust denunciations of American imperialism, something the preening, pretentious rascals and phonies strutting around claiming to be real left haven’t done in generations. We have been warned. The authentic left is fortunate to have champions like Fiorella Isabel in its ranks. 

Journalist Chris Hedges interviews former combat veteran and US Army officer, Spenser Rapone about bravery and morality. The second lieutenant was given an “other than honorable” discharge June 18 after an Army investigation determined that he “went online to promote a socialist revolution and disparage high-ranking officers” and thereby had engaged in “conduct unbecoming an officer.”

RAMIN MAZAHERI—It’s so interesting how Lyndon Baines Johnson was brought down by mass protests which were not equaled until Donald Trump. The difference is that the anti-LBJ protests were completely anti-imperialist and internationalist in nature – against his continuation of Kennedy’s war on the Vietnamese people – whereas the “never-Trump” movement is totally self-absorbed in Americanism and vitally concerned with immediately reasserting American dominance and prestige.
