America’s Domestic Party Politics Fuel the Ukraine Catastrophe

The war can only end when it helps Biden reelection PHILIP GIRALDI  I am surely not the only one who has noticed that the defensive propaganda lines that are flowing out the Democratic Administration have become more than ordinarily ridiculous of late. One is astonished at the melding of fact and fiction to create narratives that depict the White House and all that pertains to it as forging a new and more wonderful country. Wasn’t “Build Back Better” the battle cry, whatever that is supposed to mean? And the spin is endless, even when a clueless Joe Biden belatedly winds up in Maui to relate to the tragedy in which at least 1,000 died, only to be greeted by surviving local residents saluting the president with their middle fingers upraised. As the president looked out over the d...

Imperialism: How the Struggle of Both Classes and Nations Creates Our World

MICHAEL HUDSON  https://youtu.be/vKVjpKCFd28 RADHIKA DESAI: Hello and welcome to the 16th Geopolitical Economy Hour, the fortnightly show in which we discuss the political and geopolitical economy of our times. I’m Radhika Desai. MICHAEL HUDSON: And I’m Michael Hudson. RADHIKA DESAI: And we are recording this show on the last day of what may well be remembered as a historic BRICS summit, defying no end of gleeful predictions in the Western press about the BRICS’ irrelevance, disunity, mendaciousness, authoritarianism, and whatnot. The five major countries that today constitute the BRICS, despite their relative poverty, constitute a larger proportion of the world economy, measured by PPPs, that is to say purchasing power parity. And they have been able to come toge...

9/11, 22 Years Later: Will We Ever Get the Truth?

KEVIN BARRETT  Image Source - Pixbay Free Content On June 6, Tucker Carlson, America’s most-watched TV pundit, launched a new show on Twitter. No longer reined in by Fox News executives, Carlson was free to ask a big, explosive question: “What exactly happened on 9/11?” He answered himself: “Well, it’s still classified.” A few months earlier, Carlson had appeared on Clayton Morris’s podcast and brought up World Trade Center Building 7, widely viewed as the Achilles heel of the official story of 9/11: “If you say, like, ‘What actually happened with building 7? Like that is weird, right? It doesn’t—like, what is that?’… If you were to say something like that on television, they’d flip out. You’d, like, lose your job over that. It’s an attack on my country. Can I ask? I don’t...

Did Mohamed Atta’s Pink-Haired Stripper Girlfriend Mastermind the Gretchen Whitmer Kidnapping Plot?

KEVIN BARRETT  The official conspiracy theories of 9/11 and the Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping plot are both so ridiculous that you really have to wonder: Is someone gaslighting us? 9/11’s absurdities have been ably summarized by James Corbett in his classic “9/11 Explained in 5 Minutes.” Excerpt: On the morning of September 11, 2001, 19 men armed with boxcutters directed by a man on dialysis in a cave fortress halfway around the world using a satellite phone and a laptop directed the most sophisticated penetration of the most heavily-defended airspace in the world, overpowering the passengers and the military combat-trained pilots on 4 commercial aircraft before flying those planes wildly off course for over an hour without being molested by a sin...

Ukrainization of Taiwan by US and the Obstacles to Peaceful Reunification

WEI LING CHUA  TABLE OF CONTENTS To clearly explain a series of essential facts (including not widely noticed facts) about the relations between Taiwan Province, China, and the USA, one need to know the following basic facts: Ignorance of Taiwan Youth about their own Constitution Recently, a number of street interviews were conducted in Taiwan province asking young Taiwanese “Do you know the relationship between the Republic of China and Taiwan?”, the reply shocked the interviewer as the majority of the youth in Taiwan didn’t even know their political entity’s official name is the Republic of China (ROC), and that the ROC’s constitution regards the mainland of China and Taiwan being parts of the ROC sovereign territory. For example: A street interview in June...

Is the Almighty US Dollar About to Take a Fall?

By: PHILIP GIRALDI BRICS alliance is seeking a multipolar global financial system August 23rd was a big news day all over the world. The western media’s focus on the events of that day was solidly on the unproven claims that Russian President Vladimir Putin was behind the sabotage or shooting down of an executive jet that killed his former associate Yevgeny Prigozhin. In reality, however, there was a far more important story that was coming out of South Africa. In fact, Putin had a far more important job to do on that day due to his desire to make progress in stripping the United States of its dollar hegemony. Putin was engaged by videolink in the discussions taking place in Johannesburg regarding expanding the so-called BRICS monetary union, in part to include measures tha...

What Should We Do About the Powerful Nazi Lobby?

What Should We Do About the Powerful Israel Lobby? Make them register as “foreign agents” PHILIP GIRALDI  World Jewry is on the attack against Elon Musk, who has threatened to sue the Jewish advocacy group Anti-Defamation League (ADL) for as much as $22 billion for defaming him and doing material damage amounting to many billions of dollars to his company X, which used to be known as Twitter, falsely smearing the platform and its owner for allegedly providing an antisemitic haven for “hate speech.” Per Musk, the ADL has gone so far as to put pressure on potential advertisers not to do business with him and to engage in a total boycott of X. I for one can only say “Thank you Mr. Musk and it is only regrettable that no one did anything against a...

American Tranny Ukraine Spokesperson Issues Threat to Assassinate Pro-Russian Journalists

ANDREW ANGLIN  https://twitter.com/i/status/1700580503315718300 Remember when the media was saying that Donald Trump was violating the First Amendment (???) and putting journalists’ lives at risk by saying they are liars? Presently, an American tranny, who gets paid by America to work for the Ukraine government, is saying that journalists who support Russia “will all be hunted down.” RT: Threats aimed at Russian journalists by an American transgenger who has been appointed as a Ukrainian military spokesperson will be referred to international organizations as an example of the terrorist nature of the Kiev regime, Moscow’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said. On Wednesday, Sarah Ashton-Cirillo issued a threat to kill Russian “propagandists” and claime...

Is War with China Inevitable?

MIKE WHITNEY  What changed in the US-China relationship that is pushing the two countries closer to war? No one seems to know. Readers who follow developments in China closely, know that relations between the two superpowers have grown increasingly strained in the last few years. But while the US has taken a more hostile approach to China, no one seems to know why. Was there something in particular that China did that angered Washington leading to the imposition of economic sanctions, technology blockades and military provocations in the Taiwan Strait? No, there’s no indication that China did anything. What changed was Washington’s approach to China. And—as you’ll see—Washington’s approach changed very quickly and very dramatically. China went from friend to fo...
