In the Land of the Blind the One Eyed Man is King (a message to eugenicists)

Darwin K. Hoop
Those who employ misinformation to sicken us, divide us, sterilize us, and to destroy the family groups humans require for meaning and support are not merely propagandists. They are guilty of assault, murder, fraud, enslavement, unjust enrichment, and breach of fiduciary duty on an industrial scale. It's time we treat those most responsible as felons who are guilty of nothing less than crimes against humanity.
It's also time to hold responsible those who parrot these falsehoods for the vast damage they do serving as manufactured consent. Official narrative engineers for the plutocracy would be ineffective without the eager assistance of the competitively obedient and other species of human parrot who are eager to express agreement with mainstream propaganda in hopes of earning recognition, alliance, and other compensatory rewards from the oppressive powers that be.
We can distinguish those who are guilty of aiding and abetting these crimes from the merely ignorant by their resistance to reason and by their adamant, often abusive, rejection of evidence that undermines the official narrative. Those who do this professionally should be punished in a manner befitting a mercenary or hit man. Those who offend to ingratiate themselves to the oppressors and those who boost and parrot disinformation to relieve cognitive dissonance are to be treated with appropriate scorn and should be held legally accountable for any and all consequences of their fraudulent platforming of lies.

Domenico Losurdo on anti-colonialism, revolution and US foreign policy

https://konkret.la/the-new-colonial-counter-revolution/I frequently cite Himmler, who was one of the leaders of the Third Reich, and we have secret conversations of the Nazis, closed to the public, where Himmler said: “Now that I speak only with Nazis, I can speak freely. Germany needs slaves”–in the literal meaning of the word—and says that they would find their slaves in Eastern Europe, particularly in the Soviet Union. In other words, the struggle of the Soviet Union was a struggle against the attempted colonization and enslavement of the peoples of the Soviet Union.

 Immediately after the conclusion of the Cold War, which was a triumph for the West and for the United States, Russia was in danger of becoming a colony. The massive privatization of the economy wasn’t only a betrayal of the working classes of the Soviet Union and Russia, but also a betrayal of the Russian nation, because the perspective was that the west wanted to possess the immense energy resources in the country. The US was on the brink of possessing these immense energy resources.

 Yeltsin was the “great champion” of that colonization of Russia by the west. Putin, obviously, isn’t a communist, but he wanted to avoid that colonization and sought to reaffirm Russian power over its energy resources. In other words, in this context, we speak of a struggle against the new colonial counter-revolution; we speak of a struggle between imperialist and colonialist powers, principally the U.S. on the one hand, and on the other we see China—the third world. And of this greater third world Russia is an integral part, because it was at risk of becoming a colony of the West. That's my philosophy of world history, so to speak.

going to be hit with a massive Tsunami of US flagwaving propaganda

https://www.unz.com/tsaker/short-intermission-of-sorts-with-a-few-apparently-needed-explanations/6) Should Russia declare that Iran is now under Russian protection? Absolutely not! Why? Think of what is taking place as if you were sitting in the Kremlin: the Empire is about to embark on its last war (yes, I mean that, see further below) and the Russian specialists all KNOW that the US will lose, and badly. Why in the world would you intervene when your “main foe” (KGB/SVR/FSB expression for “USA”) is about to do something terminally stupid?

empire on the brink of collapse:

https://www.unz.com/estriker/the-line-in-the-sand/The US shows every symptom of an empire on the brink of collapse: an irreconcilably divided and decaying citizenry, racial and cultural incoherence, a totally detached oligarchy, no overarching mission or narrative, and an over reliance on international mercenaries to fight its wars. By 2009, soldiers of fortune outnumbered the US military personnel 3-1 in Iraq and Afghanistan.
 At this point, hot war appears to be inevitable. Even Zionists who have spent their careers pushing for a war with Iran, like Max Boot and Richard Haas, know that America has crossed a line in the sand. At the very least, no American soldier will ever be safe in the Middle East again.

A Lion in the Winter
General Soleimani was not some random military officer. This figure is considered a legend in his home and much of the Middle East, uniting both hardliners and reformers as a patriotic symbol. Even Soleimani’s most passionate haters in Tel Aviv and Washington grant that he is a military genius, a pius warrior-monk, and a man who has always led from the front.

Ronen Bergman’s “Rise and Kill First: The Secret History of Israel’s Targeted Assassinations”

https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2012/09/03/the-vegetarianDagan is known as a ruthless agent; his career is said to have included operations of all kinds—car bombing, poisoning, cyberwar.

 his book — titled from the Talmudic counsel, “If someone comes to kill you, rise up and kill him first”

Prophetic history  with respect to the current assassination in Baghdad. Is there  any doubt as to who who instigated this  assassination? Bergman's book lists decades of rogue criminal murders most  still covered up by  military  censors.
