Hard About Aye! Who pulled the lever? RADIO FAR SIDE No one can say with a straight face that 2024 has not been a strange year, and we’re only half way through it. It’s like sitting on a monster roller coaster waiting to roll out and you’re not sure whether to be thrilled or terrified. In the wheelhouse of a ship, there is (or used to be) a device called an Engine Order Telegraph (EOT). It’s that dial thingy with the handle and bells and the speeds printed on the face that the bridge officer grabs to indicate course and speed to the engine room. Now imagine one of those installed on the Good Ship Mass Media Inc., as a mysterious hand reaches out and pulls the handle from FULL AHEAD to FULL ASTERN. The engines roar, the ship shudders and the entire vessel slowly begins to change course — in this case 180 degrees astern. Something happened in the last month to switch the narradigm into full reverse. With blinding efficiency, the GeezerMedia has switched to “Biden Bad” and “Trump Sympathe

  Democracy as Trojan Horse SIMPLICIUS "Human beings are born with different capacities. If they are free, they are not equal. And if they are equal, they are not free." -Solzhenitsyn More and more people in society lately are awakening to the fact that ‘Democracy’ is not only  not  all its cracked up to be, but that it may infact even be  unnatural . And I don’t mean that in the sense that Democracy has merely been institutionally diluted or perverted in the West by way of the various cultural erosions, political schemes, and overreaches we’re now so used to grumbling about. No, I mean that Democracy even in its  purest  form can be argued to make  no  sense for a modern world which has outgrown the scope for which the system was originally intended. Primarily, we’re talking about size. When applied to a country of sufficient size and population, Democracy loses its effectiveness as it devolves into little more than ‘mob rule’ of one region over the others. Of course, the ar

  Let’s Arrest Benjamin Netanyahu When He Arrives in Washington! He’s an international war criminal and also helped steal American nuclear technology PHILIP GIRALDI America’s highly esteemed president who should be called Doodle-Head every time he opens his mouth came out with a beauty last Tuesday,  claiming that  if it weren’t for the existence of Israel “every Jew in the world would be at risk.” No Joe, you got it wrong. The reality is that Israeli behavior is precisely what fuels anger directed against what might be referred to as the “International Jewish Conspiracy,” whereby the wealthy and powerful Jewish diaspora enables Israel to literally get away with war crimes and mass murder without any consequences. Joe has also said the he  has done more for the Palestinians  than anyone, which means that he finds some benefit in watching them die under relentless bombardment by Israel with US provided munitions. This ability to twist perceptions of what is going on in the Middle East a

  Iwo Jima 2.0: What Story Is This Picture Telling? PEPE ESCOBAR   If the Deep State cannot influence the outcome of the November elections, they can find Six Ways from Sunday to cancel it. The Iwo Jima 2.0 pic, immortalizing the Trump fist surviving an assassination attempt, has taken the world by storm – generating everything from a meme tsunami on China’s Weibo to fresh anime in Japan. Not to mention the deluge of hats and T-shirts. This carefully composed pic changes everything – in more ways than one. So let’s engage in a first attempt to deconstruct it. We start with the major losers. The combo running Crash Test Dummy’s teleprompter/earpiece set up is essentially composed by Mike Donilon, Steve Richetti, Bruce Reed and Ted Kaufman. Government functionaries like Jake Sullivan and Little Blinkie, for their part, are placed at the heart of what is known in Washington as the “inter-agency” racket, better described as The Blob. The inestimable Alastair Crooke has explained how Sulliv
