Listen to a reading of this article: This past Thursday US Senator Josh Hawley gave a speech at the Heritage Foundation — a warmongering think tank with immense influence in the DC swamp — that is a perfect representation of a couple of interesting dynamics occurring in US foreign policy thought today.
The profound hypocrisy in the way the U.S. dumps its treasury into the military while willfully neglecting the needs of its own citizens and screaming humanitarian talking points from the rooftops is truly breathtaking on a scale that is almost impossible to bear. "We return you now to your regularly scheduled programming."
As Ukraine winds down - with its inevitable defeat coming, even though the fools will allow another 100k die before they finally start negotiating peace, it's probably a good idea to start pushing against the China propaganda as early as Caitlin is doing here. Because the warmongers and the war profiteers, and the poisonous US deep state, have clearly made China their next profit making, mass human murdering target. The more Americans who can be made aware of how shallow the propaganda is and will be, the more chances we might avoid the catastrophe of another world war.
It the meantime, let's hope this Rage Against War rally in DC today has a huge turnout, though I doubt if Big Media will give it much coverage. There is a great line-up of speakers. It's sad to hear of all the infighting between different anti-war groups over issues of little relevance compared to the threat of nuclear war. Jimmy Dore has it right when he says that all sides opposed to US Ukraine policy should come together as a united front. Our other differences can be sorted out later.
Swamp monsters are adepts at doublespeak. Here though it can be said that the Hawley entity knows full well that Ukraine has come to the end of its useful life & that the time has come for the swamp population to begin worrying China using the equally disposable Taiwan as an excuse. What should we do with these dangerous criminally insane people in our midst? It's certainly not to vote them into power, that much is certainly for sure.
Its easy to rule the world when youre sitting pretty two oceans away. The last time the US suffered from war in its own borders was the Civil War, the rest of the world hasn't had the luxury.
Another of those inverted reality mischief-stirring analysis passing off as a serious objective intellectual discourse to set the compass bearings for war with any nation which is a threat to US hegemony and world authoritarianism.
War with China is the most deeply insane thing imaginable. People today are oblivious to history. Back during WW2 the Imperial Japanese had a one million man army in China. And this was when China was poorly organized and equipped. And the Japanese million man army got beaten. Halved in size, basically wiped out. Today China has modern equipment. It would be inconceivable that the US military would be able to do anything in China without insane losses, including naval losses. And this all ignores a possible nuclear holocaust exchange which we could not defend. If asked to attack China, it would be our military's duty to refuse and instead take down our own government.
As an open minded constitutionalist and adherent to the founding fathers description of a republic of which America list over a hundred years ago and now find ourselves in the very democracy the founding fathers warned us about, I enjoy the ideas and opinions of others who see America from a different lens, but make no mistake, RINO republicans are no friend to MAGA conservative voters who hate war and establishment politics, there are millions that simply don’t understand the concept of the Uniparty that runs DC, the illusion of choice regarding the two party system in current day America is just that, an illusion, Washington DC is the enemy of America not the American people, we want peace with Russia, we want out of that shithole Ukraine and we want all guilty politicians in DC arrested for crimes against humanity regarding their part in the orchestrated bio weapon virus creation and bio weapon vaccines. Australia should feel the same way about their government because at the end of the day, the G-7 is the new axis of evil and part of the NWO agenda!
Glad I finally had a good intro to Josh Hawley. What a slick nut case. He thinks that by speaking up against the Russia-haters in Ukraine he will make points. What he says is correct on Ukraine but not if it is an argument to go after China. He claims to "speak the truth". But the truth is that China does not want to seize Taiwan. China wants things to remain as they are now. What China cannot accept is an independent Taiwan, because this would make Taiwan, and therefore China, vulnerable to invasion by foreign armies, as happened in 1895, when Japan invaded Formosa and used this unsinkable aircraft carrier to attack China. The Chinese formulation of One China has served the cause of peace well and has given great autonomy to Taiwan. But the US is not satisfied now because it has meant that all its efforts on behalf of the KMT over years have not had the results it wanted, apparently.
Q. Putin is giving a major speech on Feb. 21 or so. Where do I go to read it?
As you probably know, it's extremely difficult to find full texts of Putin's addresses. I read the ones from Feb. 2022 (on the day of the invasion) and Sept. 30, 2022 (when Russia annexed the Donbass & three other regions), and I found the speeches very interesting and revealing.
Agree completely that we don't need warmongering against Russia or China.
Disagree with your reasoning that I've read in other columns where you defend China. You don't mention their gulags, social credit scores, covid lockdowns (far more oppressive there, and I hated the ones here), and making people disappear. I realize you don't see that as your responsibility, but I don't accept that, because two things can be true at the same time:
The U.S. empire is warmongering state that wastes the resources of its people so it can try to conquer the globe, and that isn't even 1/10th of what my country is doing wrong;
Unless you are cool with destroying humans, China is an infernal hellhole that surveils, imprisons, and kills millions of innocent people. They're also Satanic on the environment.
Most people can see both of these points if the propaganda screens are lifted, and the best authors explicate both points.
I heard Blinken this morning on national Petroleum Radio accusing China of providing weapons to Russia in Ukraine and openly threatening war ("consequences").
These guys beat the war drum 24/7. Media megaphone is a propaganda "force multiplier".

Empires always claim to be acting out of the most noble of motives.
Most articulate description of the fake populism of the MAGA I’ve read and it’s agenda.
Good insights in this article so plain and simple anyone can understand the meaning.

White nationalist colonialist powers practicing white nationalism and colonialism. What a shock…
