The screams of a dying empire: notes from the edge of the narrative matrix
https://caitlinjohnstone.substack.com/p/the-screams-of-a-dying-empire-notes
"Some want to dismantle the imperial slaughter machine and create a harmonious world; others just want the imperial slaughter machine to give them healthcare. These are two entirely different positions. It's not strange that these factions feud - it would be strange if they didn't.
The only way to do actual foreign policy journalism in the western world is to make a conscious decision to tell the truth without being bullied into accepting every unproven US narrative, no matter how badly they smear you.
US Liberals are orders of magnitude more outraged about a small group of wingnuts making people nervous in the capitol building for a few hours than they are about the fact that their government is continually murdering people around the world..."
Sounds very similar to liberals here. But then again that's US copycat Canada. And that's liberals.

US Cyber Warmongering
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/56665.htm
"Western allegations that China is conducting massive cyber attacks are a frame up. Not only that but the real perpetrators of cyber-crimes are the accusers. The tell-tale sign of frame up is the coordinated way the US and its so-called allies have this week launched their accusations against China.
The US with Five Eyes satellite nations - Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand - have all been running a global campaign of denouncing China. This is all about Washington's trying to thwart China's rise as a formidable economic and political power.
What makes the infowar all the more dangerous is that the US-led NATO military alliance has formally stipulated that cyber-attacks are equivalent to conventional military offensives. Following its annual summit last month, the NATO final communique stated that cyber attacks on any of its 30 members could trigger a military response.
As an editorial in China's Global Times noted this week, 'the US is stirring up new geopolitical disputes and turning cyber frictions into major conflicts among countries..."

"With prosecutors seeking a maximum sentence, Hale delivered a powerful handwritten letter declaring his motivation to the court. 'At the press of a button, from thousands of miles away, two Hellfire missiles screeched out of the sky, followed by two more.

The US-Japanese Alliance Against China Risks World War

"...Some may see all this as sabre-rattling. But that is a lot of sabres and they are doing a lot more than just rattling them. As Hans Rudiger Minow stated in German Foreign Policy,
'The intensification of western manoeuvres and their growing focus on combat missions, which are highly realistic under current circumstances, coincide with prognoses by high-ranking US officials, predicting that a war between the US and China is probable in the near future..."

Biden promises US support against 'Russian aggression' in meeting with Ukraine's Zelensky
https://www.france24.com/en/americas/20210902-biden-promises-us-support-...
"The United States remains firmly committed to Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity in the face of Russian aggression and our support for Ukraine's Euro-Atlantic aspirations', Biden told the Ukrainian president in the Oval Office.
Zelensky, who spent Tuesday at the Pentagon pressing for military assistance to combat Russia and Russian-backed separatists, is only the second European leader to get a White House meeting so far under Biden.
'President Zelensky and Ukraine have gotten as much if not more attention from this administration than any other European country,' a senior Biden administration official told reporters, asking not to be identified.
But Zelensky later told reporters Biden had assured him the US would impose sanctions on the [Nordstream 2] pipeline if there were 'violations' from Russia after the start of NS2 operations that would create problems for Ukraine's energy security.
The White House says it remains concerned by the geostrategic implications of the pipeline, which will funnel energy directly from Russia to Germany, bypassing the previous route through Ukraine..."

On Contact: Inverted Totalitarianism (and vid)
https://www.rt.com/shows/on-contact/534584-cornel-west-wolin-democracy-i...
"Chris Hedges discusses the work of political philosopher Sheldon Wolin with Professor Wendy Brown, University of California, Berkeley, a student of Wolin's. Wolin lays bare the causes behind the decline of American empire and the rise of a new and terrifying configuration of corporate power he calls 'inverted totalitarianism.'
'One cannot point to any national institutions that can accurately be declared as democratic, surely not in the highly managed, money-saturated elections, the lobby-infected Congress, the Imperial presidency, the class-based judicial and penal system, or, least of all, the media.'
Our inverted totalitarianism pays outward fealty to the facade of electoral politics, the Constitution, civil liberties, freedom of the press, the independence of the judiciary and the iconography, traditions and language of American patriotism, but it has already seized all of the mechanics of power to render the citizen impotent."
Canada is in a somewhat similar state but perhaps in deeper denial. Just notice how many critically important issues are 'disappeared' from the present election campaign. 'Inverted totalitarianism' is here.

"Public opinion is the only thing keeping western war criminals from The Hague, [besides The Hague] after all, and these war criminals are keenly aware of this fact. At times like these, they suddenly become interested in making sure that regular people 'respect the dead."
"Powell was a War Criminal and not only in Iraq. In his own book he tells of how he torched Vietnamese villages setting the straw huts ablaze with his own Zippo lighter..."
