The Truth Is Surely Baseless

  The Truth Is Surely Baseless James Howard Kunstler MADDOW: … I think we should see this as the Justice Department putting these whack jobs in Arizona, forgive me, on notice, that what they`re doing is something they`re not going to be allowed to do for very much longer. O`DONNELL: I think ‘whack jobs’ is now in  The New York Times  style sheet for describing what`s happening in Arizona. — MSNBC 5/5/21 What you’re seeing now with the DC establishment are desperate moves to keep the suspicious and yet more pissed-off public from understanding the government crime spree of the past five years that started with the Obama gang using the Department of Justice to disable and terminate Donald Trump and the threat he represented to the network of special privilege and money known as the Swamp, which has managed to put a deep-fake president in office as a last resort to protect itself. The urgent problem: how to squash the Arizona vote audit by branding it as an outlaw actio...

Opinion Comment from National Post (Headline) "The Republican party's Trump-driven descent into a cult of personality" (Lede) "Unprincipled party prepares to punish Liz Cheney for refusing to say election was stolen" by Sean Speer, 7 May 2021

 Mensch59 here: The term "cult of personality" is specifically utilized politically for those who are exercising totalitarian power. If it's true that the world has entered into a new totalitarianism -- see  Giorgio Agamben, Nuove riflessioni - Quodlibet  -- then we ought to be paying attention as to how totalitarian terms are used and misused. From the above link: Are we experiencing, with this forced imprisonment, a new totalitarianism? 'The hypothesis is now being put forward on many sides that we are in fact living at the end of a world, that of bourgeois democracies, based on rights, parliaments and the division of powers, which is giving way to a new despotism, which, as far as the pervasiveness of controls and the cessation of all political activity is concerned, will be worse than the totalitarianism we have known so far. American political scientists call it the Security State, a state in which "for security reasons" (in this case "public healt...

CIA ‘Woke’ Recruitment Ad Invites Ridicule, but Are Audiences Missing the Bigger Picture?

WORLD CIA ‘Woke’ Recruitment Ad Invites Ridicule, but Are Audiences Missing the Bigger Picture? Robert Bridge May 6, 2021 The colorful parade of endless ‘identities,’ promoted non-stop by academia, legacy media and social media, poses a direct threat to the safety and sanctity of the nation state. At first glance, it appears that the U.S. foreign spy agency, much like a number of overzealous corporations, overshot the mark in their latest promotional ad, where nearly every liberal identity is compulsively ticked in an apparent effort to ingratiate itself with the woke crowd. Or, on the other hand, did the clandestine organization reveal its global agenda moving forward? It’s one thing when a major corporation, like Coca-Cola ( transgender ), Gillette ( toxic masculinity ) and United Airlines ( critical race theory ) panders to the political left with commercials promoting any number of bizarre causes, for here the motivation can be chalked up to the almighty bottom line – and despite t...

  Halt Vaccine Passports! It’s illegal, medical apartheid Dr Mike Yeadon It is very important that people understand what is happening here. The intention is to introduce vaccine passports  everywhere . But this is a  disguise . It’s a world’s first digital common-format, globally-interoperable ID system with an editable health flag (vaccinated Y or N). It  makes no one safer . If you’re vaccinated, you’re protected & are not made safer by knowing others immune status. As in Israel, you will be compelled to present a valid VaxPass in order to access defined facilities or access services.  No VaxPass, you’re denied. This system only needs 50%+ of the adult population to start up because of its huge,  coercive power on the unvaccinated. It’s illegal, medical apartheid. If they succeed, it won’t help you to refuse. They’ll move on, leaving that minority behind. A VaxPass System like this will give to  those controlling the database & it’s algorith...

"Fears of proletarian revolution are behind the campaign to censor the internet" by Rainer Shea

  Fears of proletarian revolution are behind the campaign to censor the internet May 5, 2021 Above: art from Project Censored B ehind all these censorship debates, Big Tech crackdown measures, and demagogic  rhetoric  about how Washington’s rivals seek to exploit the current chaos, there’s a war going on for which class holds control over the predominant consciousness of the masses within the United States. The capitalist state isn’t nearly as concerned about the threat from right-wing extremists (Capitol Police a  psyops officer  aided the effort to storm the building) as it is about the rising of a proletarian consciousness amid growing capitalist crises. The censorshi p  against anti-imperialist outlets like  The Grayzone ,  Venezuela Analysis , and  MintpressNews  that Big Tech has carried out in collaboration with the U.S. intelligence community in recent years shows which type of content they’re most concerned with suppressing: con...
