...for bringing clear thinking to US politics at the murkiest time in the nation's history with the most propagandized and thinking-impaired population on the planet.

I've picked from her observations four that resonate loudly in my mind;

FYI if you're more upset by Twitter censoring one of the most powerful people in the world for inciting violence than by Twitter routinely censoring anti-imperialist accounts, it's because you're a mindless partisan hack.

Fact.

It's so fascinating how liberals think they can just end conspiracy theories by having them censored by a blanket collaboration of shady Silicon Valley tech oligarchs.

Satire.

If you find yourself cheering for the same "people's uprising" in a foreign nation that the US State Department is also loudly cheering for, it's because you've been propagandized. Please revise your critical thinking skills.

Fail.

If people moving too far to the left features anywhere on your list of major imminent threats to our society, you are an asshole.

Iconic Truth.

If you believe fighting the deep state has something to do with beating the Democrats and supporting Donald Trump, then you are not actually interested in fighting the deep state. What you are actually doing is called "being a Republican".

Well, there are some Democrats out there who are, laudably, serious about insisting on accountability, ending disastrous foreign interventions, upholding things like the 1st and 4th, sometimes even 2nd Amendments, but they are thin on the ground in positions of power, and the Dem establishment is ever ready to throw such dissident types under the bus if they become too annoying Dennis Kucinich, Cynthia McKinney, Tulsi...). Much as the Republican PTB have been toward people like Ron Paul or Justin Amash.

That said, at the moment, it's Trump who is taking on social media, google and the likewhich is is fine by me. As is his pursuit of the Obamagate matter where he has started to make actual headway - and as that would never happen under any plausible Democratic administration, nor if D's controlled both House and Senate - then I'm in support of Trump and whoever else willing to take on the evil scumbags.

Not that many of Trump's policies aren't bad to appalling, but without rule of law and basic civil liberties there is no prospect of reform. The remaining options, sooner that later would come down to a complete surrender of liberty and privacy or outright, bloody revolution. Both of which I'd kind of like to see avoided, if possible.

Being a small "r" republican is to be inherently anti-Deep State because control of society by elite, unaccountable entities is completely incompatible with the basic principles of a constitutional democratic republic.

Right now, it is mainly House Republicans who are - at Trump's request holding up passage of re-authorization of the most abusive spying provisions of the Patriot Act and Trump who is leading the fight against Internet censorship. And from Public Citizen and Avaas I get requests for money and an invitation to send thank you notes to Jack Dorsey. Yuck.

Ric Grenell (1st openly-gay cabinet member in US history) kicks significant Deep State butt in just 8 weeks as Director of National Intelligence.

Spend less energy concerning yourself with which individuals are good or bad and more on what information and ideas are true and helpful.

Information, ideas and *actions*, no?

Cheers, BR

Fits well with your essay.

In the West: Propaganda, Hysteria and Truly Foul Breath!
by Andre Vltchek / May 30th, 2020

If it wasn’t so tragic, it would be laughable: the political brigands in North America and Europe are fuming, spitting and rolling their eyes upwards towards the ceiling. They are pointing fingers in all directions, shouting incoherently “China!”, “Russia!”, “Venezuela and Cuba!”, “Iran!”; “You, You, YOU!”.

China and Russia are quietly building a new world, which includes brand new infrastructure, factories and entire neighborhoods for the people. Hospitals are being constructed, and so are universities, parks, concert halls and public transportation networks. Both countries are doing all this quickly and noiselessly, and with great determination. And despite sanctions and embargos, they never shout back at the salivating, angry mouths of the Western gurus of brainwashing.

The difference between the West and the two mighty allies in the East, is enormous. In fact, it is not a difference, but an outright contrast.
...
What I do know is that in both China and Russia, people come first. Their standards of living are at the center of almost all the efforts of the planned economies. Beijing and Moscow and most of their bureaucracies exist so that the people live longer, better, and have more meaningful lives. The cities and villages are designed for citizens to become more educated, healthier, while enjoying a deeper cultural life.

Visiting Russia, from Vladivostok to Kaliningrad, as well as China, from Guangzhou to Urumqi; it is clearly visible, undeniable.
...
I do not even have to write about COVID-19 in this essay. Many people that are reading these lines are well aware of the horrific failure and disgraceful lack of solidarity in the West.

Next time, when you hear loud shouts and insults, smell terribly bad breath, and see finger-pointing towards Russia and China, find a chair, sit down, and calmly, very calmly ask yourself at least few basic questions:

“Is this the world in which I want to live?”

“If the world in which I live scares me, frustrates me, makes me unhappy, why should I trust its ideologues and propagandists?”

“Perhaps the reason why the Western rulers hate, despise and fear countries like Russia and China, is because they are actually doing something essentially good for our planet and the people! If they do, shouldn’t I support them?”
