NEOCON VERMIN

RICHARD SANDERS—Why, PM Trudeau, are Canadians supposed to memorialize Nazis as the “victims of communism? And, why are we supposed to “stand with” these Nazis’ descendants if they have still not faced the truth about their forbears’ complicity in the Holocaust and in the Nazis’ mass murder of almost 30 million Soviets?? Shame on you Mr. Trudeau and shame on your Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland for your shared, Cold-War McCarthyism, for your virulent Russophobia and for your equation of Nazis and communists.

ALAN MACLEOD—While he is undeniably a charismatic and confident host, Enjeti’s schtick is remarkably similar to that of his former employer Tucker Carlson, who also rails against elites while being one of them. Other establishment hawks like General Michael Flynn and General Robert Spalding (another Hudson employee) have also attempted to sell themselves as anti-establishment populist outsiders, but with far less success. Enjeti has been more successful partly because he is a more likable figure and partly because the others have decades-long histories in the heart of the swamp.

ALVARO GARCIA LINERA—Now the planet is plunged into an uncertainty of fate. The ruling elites diverge on how to get out of the economic and environmental quagmire they have caused, the poor no longer blame themselves for their poverty, the neoliberal utopia is fading and the priests of the free market no longer have parishioners at their feet to bamboozle with future redemptions in exchange for present complacencies.

BEN NORTON—Thus Wikipedia considers neoconservative websites that printed conspiratorial lies about non-existent “WMDs” to be reliable sources, while blacklisting The Grayzone apparently because it publishes factual reporting that undermines these regime-change deceptions.

MoA—Josh Rogin is a neo-conservative hack who carries water for the Trump administration. That administration has launched a ‘blame China’ campaign to distract from its failure to contain the epidemic outbreak in the United States. To that purpose they handed Rogin an old diplomatic cable and told him how to ‘interpret’ it. Rogin dutifully does as he is told.
