Listen to a reading of this article: ❖ White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre came very close to committing the cardinal sin of referring to a US-aligned nation as a "regime" on Monday. In the official White House transcript of Jean-Pierre's interaction with a reporter inquiring about Biden's upcoming meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the press secretary's comment reads as follows:
KJP is an intersectional DEI affirmative action shield like Horizontal Heiress and SecDef Raytheon. If you criticize our regime, you're racist. The BLM/LGBTQ bomb meme is real.
Always brilliant, Caitlin. I've certainly thought about these 'color' words that get applied to slip a value judgment into a noun. But it didn't occur to me that 'regime' made its government a blight on the people, so you could behead a country to save it from itself. Very efficient use of words, those propagandists.
Caitlin Johnstone, you should write the 21st-century's Manufacturing Consent. But concise, accessible, in your characteristic no bs style. Something we could give to every adult and every teenager with a "read this until you know it by heart".
It's a battle of words and labels, sanctimonious facial expressions and body language: you master these, you win. I think Stuart Jones was alluding to some kind of sensitivity indoctrination classes for Mohammad bin Saud, some basic etiquette: he's just a diamond in the rough - a temporary PR problem, but lot's of potential.
****.....but because it is aligned with the interests of Washington that pejorative label is typically avoided at the upper echelons of imperial narrative management.****
You would think if Saudi Arabia was aligned, it wouldn't have refused to sanction Russia in line with Washington's wishes. I'll know things have really hit the fan and we're truly in the Singularity when the House of Saud is toppled and Saudi Arabia is failed.
No doubt Stu Jones 100% supports MBS's Sports Washing and LIV. I have duly noted the Norman and Mickelson critics point to Saudi Arabia's human rights abuses and Jamal but they don't say a thing about the Saudi war on Yemen and America's support of it.
I have to laugh at conservative douchebags quipping back we should refer to Biden's administration as the Biden Regime. Biden and his administration are errand boys sent by grocery clerks to collect bills. It's the Wall Street Regime and if any of you have skin in that game, you are guilty as charged. Having skin in that game is purely voluntary. It's not compulsory like paying taxes.
All the Proud Boys who comment here will next be telling us how afraid they are this beautiful black woman is slated to be the next POTUS, trumping Kamala.
In this context.....It is extremely important to continue to refer to the biden regime as such.
No worries, every degree of cooling in American-Saudi relationship boosts sales of Canadian and Italian weapons for killing Yemeni Civilians.
Excellent and accurate! Thanks, CJ!

Hypocrites constantly injury their tongues for double talk.
Kapital Kop Cosplay Coup Congressional committee caper isn't the only game in town? We've also got Biden's war to bail-out our FRACKING Ponzi Scheme?

I almost feel sorry for her. She doesn't have the iron of her predecessor, Pasaki.
the last two press secretaries remind me of Bagdad Bob with the obvious level of shite they spew
I like to say "Bush regime" in regards to the Iraq invasion, but it runs the risk of getting the post deleted by the censors.
