If the gloves actually come off

“Russia’s foreign ministry called Blinken’s remark “typically offensive” and accused him of joking about tragic events in Kazakhstan. It said Washington should analyse its own track record of interventions in countries such as Vietnam and Iraq.”If Antony Blinken loves history lessons so much, then he should take the following into account: when Americans are in your house, it can be difficult to stay alive and not be robbed or raped,” the ministry said on its Telegram social media channel.”

We had a good run?

Russian leaders have changed tone dramatically toward the vulture capitalists of Washington DC.

Official Disinformation Sources

State-sponsored disinformation organizations are in on the Covid propaganda game. That’s why there’s so much hostility toward scientists who don’t have official blessing as well as all dissenters.

In his book, “BreadTube Serves Imperialism: Examining the New Brand of Internet Pseudo-Socialism,” socialist organizer Caleb Maupin likened BreadTube to the “counter-gangs” deployed by British and US intelligence to infiltrate and dismantle insurgent forces from Kenya to Southeast Asia. (USAID), a US intelligence cut-out, for a project aimed at “investigating disinformation.”

The Gray Zone would be advised to break up these monster-length articles into smaller chunks with more focus. This one does ramble all over the planet.

Real Journalists Demand Assange’s Release

NATO Coming For Your Brain

Not news to me, as I wrote the screenplay 25 years ago.

In a chilling disclosure, the report said explicitly that “the objective of Cognitive Warfare is to harm societies and not only the military.”

‘Battle for your brain’ waged by Western militaries

“Attacks against the cognitive domain involve the integration of cyber, disinformation/misinformation, psychological, and social-engineering capabilities.”

These are fascist monsters who have aided and abetted terrorists and Nazis.

2018: Was US aiding ISIS in Afghanistan?

Iran & Russia Accuse US of Aiding IS in Afghanistan

Dune & the Empire

Or that the imperial bad guys in the film, complete with their noble houses, obscene material wealth and military might, are symbolic of their own governments, corporate powers and armed forces?

The Myth of Empire and the Real Message of Dune

When Westerners (see: Americans, Canadians, Europeans, Brits, Australians) see Dune this fall, I wonder if any of them will have any idea that Arrakis is a perfect symbol for Afghanistan (or even Iraq, or Bolivia, etc.). Or that the much coveted and fought over “spice” is code for opium (or oil, or lithium, or whatever the Empire and its imperial houses demand or wish to control).

Revolt in Colombia against US backed junta

Colombia in Chaos

Taibbi:

The usual “Democracy Promotion” script involves the U.S. backing this or that politician with money, weapons, and sometimes even military manpower, turning a blind eye to corruption or other excesses connected to that politician, then ultimately being forced to double down on the money and weapons when anti-American protest movements rise in response.

Americans and Colombians Arrested for Haiti Assassination

“In Haiti, two Haitian Americans are among 17 suspects arrested over Wednesday’s assassination of President Jovenel Moïse. Haitian authorities said a team of 28 heavily armed assailants, 26 of whom were Colombian, carried out the operation. They said at least three suspects were killed and eight remain at large. Colombia’s defense minister confirmed some of the men are former members of Colombia’s military. One of the two U.S. citizens arrested is Haitian American James Solages, the head of a maintenance and repair company in Florida. Little is known about the second Haitian American suspect, Joseph Vincent from the Miami area.”
