Max discusses with R J Eskow the gathering storm fueled by the US and its vassals and accomplices, particularly NATO and Israel, in the Middle East, China, and the Ukraine, all and any of which could trigger a global conflagration. Meantime, Iran, politically and economically stressed due to US sanctions, has managed to develop, despite constant attacks, its ballistic missile technology (non-nuclear), to protect itself from total assault by Israel and the West. This eminently rational position is dismissed by the Biden administration (as did Trump’s), which continues to insist on Iran practically disarming unilaterally. The prospects for peace look dim, especially since the US leadership has no real vision for an adaptation to a multilateral world.

(That was leverage which Germany and France had over the U.S. regime — the empire isn’t entirely a one-way street.)

The indispensable Jimmy Dore: Videos and topics of necessity
8 minutes readPATRICE GREANVILLE—Videos to make you think and take notice. Consider that ANY of these videos yield more useful information on the current state of the world, and our immediate reality, than reams of NYTimes pages, or hundreds of hours (or more) of programming by NPR, MSNBC, CNN, or the main networks. Also think what will happen when Jimmy Dore’s channel is cancelled by Google (YouTube), because, rest assured that as we write these lines, the knives are out for Jimmy and his brand of impious political commentary. Too dangerous for a system that now regards total narrative control as an existential necessity.

War Against Syria Part 4: “This Guy” (Dismantling Western Disinformation on Bashar al-Assad)
22 minutes readJANICE KORTKAMP— Her summary of the war against Syria is succint, mordant and spot on: “It is: A terrorist-proxy war. An economic siege war.
