We Need a New Business Model

The US war economy is driven by the MIC (AIPAC, oil, pharma, big AG, etc.) lobby. The ownership is on display. Last Saturday our purchased representatives financed more genocide, destruction, and global chaos, along with the suppression of free speech banning TikTok, plus the theft of Russian assets (bound to undermine the USD)...and this is our business model. What a failed system! The "deep state" mafia carrot and stick persuaded Johnson (and Trump) to flip on their stated priorities...they obviously caved.

Blinken threatens China over Russia ties

Washington is ready to introduce more sanctions against China over its alleged transfer of dual-use goods and components, which it claims can be used by the Russia...
Earlier this week, the Wall Street Journal also reported that the US was drafting sanctions that could cut off some Chinese banks from the global financial system unless Beijing severs its economic ties with Russia.
...Xi suggested that the US and China “should be partners, not rivals” and should strive towards achieving “mutual success and not harm each other.”
“I proposed three major principles: mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation. They are not only a summary of past experience, but also a guide to the future,” the Chinese leader was quoted as saying. Beijing has maintained a policy of neutrality on the Ukraine conflict, with Chinese officials repeatedly stating that the country is not selling weapons to either Russia or Ukraine

Diplomacy by insult, threat, and sanction hasn't played well in China. Surprise surprise.

But wait, there's more...

While we're on the topic of Israel, People are Outraged by Israel's War on Gaza - Israel is Losing | Michael Hudson (41 min)

Many college campuses are protesting US support for Israel. Many students are being manhandled and arrested for peacefully protesting. Dissent will not be allowed, and the false narrative that Zionism is Judaism continues to be propagated.

Jill Stein speaks out against assault on pro-Palestine student protesters (8 min)
US presidential candidate Jill Stein said students are being “brutalised” at pro-Palestine protests in universities across the country by American police officers who are trained in crowd control techniques by the Israeli military, in an act she says is an “assault on democracy”.
Speaking outside Columbia University, she praised students for protesting and “standing up” for all Americans and their right to free speech. She said students are defending “our right to protest this genocide that is being committed in our name”.
Stein criticized Israel’s war on Gaza and the US’ unconditional military funding to Israel. “We must support the right of the Palestinian people to freedom, justice and dignity,” she said, reiterating the findings of the International Court of Justice that there is a plausible case for genocide in Gaza.

University students across the country, facing mass arrests, suspensions, evictions and explusions are our last, best hope to halt the genocide in Gaza. Chris Hedges

Not one university president has denounced Israel’s destruction of every university in Gaza. Not one university president has called for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire. Not one university president has used the words “apartheid” or “genocide.” Not one university president has called for sanctions and divestment from Israel.
Instead, heads of these academic institutions grovel supinely before wealthy donors, corporations — including weapons manufacturers — and rabid right-wing politicians. They reframe the debate around harm to Jews rather than the daily slaughter of Palestinians, including thousands of children. They have allowed the abusers — the Zionist state and its supporters — to paint themselves as victims. This false narrative, which focuses on anti-Semitism, allows the centers of power, including the media, to block out the real issue — genocide.

It always gets back to "follow the money".

Empire managers and propagandists are losing their minds about student protests against the genocide in Gaza on university campuses, so naturally we’re seeing a mad push to frame this as the result of interference by Russia, China, Iran and Hamas. These demented conspiracies of foreign influence come even as Israel’s prime minister openly calls for the US government to quash the university protests by any means necessary.

What's the Solution to the Israel-Palestine Issue? w/ Abby Martin (25 min)

As protests in support of Palestine grow across American campuses, people unite in demanding an end to this US empire-backed genocide against Palestine. The cry for the liberation of the Palestinian people grows louder. Is ceasefire the ultimate goal? How much longer will politicians sheltering Israel persist? In this episode of Overlap, Zephyr, a political commentator from China, and Abby Martin, an American journalist, activist, and director of Empire Files, engage in a heartfelt discussion.

What About Ukraine and the proxy war with Russia?
Looks like the foam core is breaking...

The ink has yet to dry on the signed Ukrainian aid, but it has finally passed both House, Senate, and the final Biden rubberstamp. As predicted here, the list of new items is “long” but mostly constitutes the secondary munitions types which aren’t as easily expendable and therefore still exist in some quantity. The primary ones, i.e. artillery shells and such, are still heavily backlogged. ...
just days ago Ukraine’s head of the aerial reconnaissance support center, Maria Berlinskaya, stated that “most Western systems have proven to be [worthless]” because Russian EW neutralizes them all.

Much more at the link above.

Some "demonkrazy" we're supporting...
The slave trade in Ukraine has become one of the most serious problems of our time. Since the 2014 coup d’état, Kiev has been a key player in modern slavery, particularly for human trafficking and sexual exploitation networks. The political and social instability that has affected the country since the Western-led regime change operation is one of the main factors for the growth of such human rights violations.

Two years ago the US and it's lackey the UK scuttled a peace deal that would have saved hundreds of thousands of lives.
Details emerge of failed Russia-Ukraine peace treaty

Russia and Ukraine were close to reaching a peace deal in the spring of 2022, under which Kiev was ready to commit to neutrality...
Ukraine would have committed to “permanent neutrality,” would have agreed not to allow foreign weapons and troops into the country, and would have pledged not to “receive, produce or acquire” nuclear weapons. Kiev would also reportedly have guaranteed not to hold military drills with other countries.
In return, Russia would have pledged not to attack Ukraine again, while agreeing that Kiev could receive security guarantees from the US, UK, France, and China. If Ukraine came under attack, its guarantors would support its right to self-defense within three days, with the relevant agreements being ratified by each participating state, making them legally binding.

NATOstan simply couldn't (and still can't) let go of the grift.

Ukraine receives emergency aid for most of the day from EU power systems for 4th day in a row

The subjugation of the EU was always part of the purpose of the Ukraine proxy war. At least that goal of the mission appears to be successful.

There was no compelling national security interest to justify the destruction of the Nord Stream pipeline, which has inflicted significant economic pain on the people of Germany.
This attack accomplished nothing in terms of helping bring an end to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and Ukraine's NATO facilitators. It made matters worse.
