thegreanvillepostbiasrating--2020-05-11--For Victory Day: It’s Time to Think About Finally Winning WWII

Today , as the world celebrates the 75th anniversary of this victory , why not think very seriously about finally winning that war once and for all ?
If you ’ re confused by this statement , then you might want to sit down and take a deep breath before reading on .
Within the next 12 minutes , you will likely discover a disturbing fact which may frighten you a little bit : The allies never actually won World War II… Now please don ’ t get me wrong .
I am eternally thankful for the immortal souls who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fascist machine during those bleak years… but the fact is that a certain something wasn ’ t resolved on the 9th of May , 1945 which has a lot to do with the slow re-emergence of a new form of fascism during the second half of the 20th century and the renewed danger of a global bankers ’ dictatorship which the world faces again today .
It is my contention that it is only when we find the courage to really look at this problem with sober eyes , that we will be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who devoted their lives to winning a peace for their children , grandchildren and humanity more broadly .
I ’ ll stop beating around the Bush now and just say it : Adolph Hitler or Benito Mussolini were never “ their own men ” .
The machines they led were never fully under their sovereign control and the financing they used as fuel in their effort to dominate the world did not come from the Banks of Italy or Germany .
The technologies they used in petrochemicals , rubber , and computing didn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and the governing scientific ideology of eugenics that drove so many of the horrors of Germany ’ s racial purification practices never originated in the minds of German thinkers or from German institutions .
Were it not for a powerful network of financiers and industrialists of the 1920s-1940s with names such as Rockefeller , Warburg , Montague Norman , Osborn , Morgan , Harriman or Dulles , then it can safely be said that fascism would never have been possible as a “ solution ” to the economic woes of the post-WWI @ @ @ @ @ @ @ let us take the strange case of Prescott Bush as a useful entry point .
The patriarch of the same Bush dynasty that gave the world two disastrous American presidents ( and nearly a third had Donald Trump not annihilated Jeb at the last minute in 2016 ) made a name for himself funding Nazism alongside his business partners Averell Harriman and Averell ’ s younger brother E. Roland Harriman ( the latter who was to recruit Prescott to Skull and Bones while both studying at Yale ) .
Not only did Prescott @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Harriman , provide valuable loans to keep the bankrupt Nazi party afloat during Hitler ’ s loss of support in 1932 when the German population voted into office the anti-Fascist General Kurt von Schleicher as Chancellor , but was even found guilty for “ Trading with the enemy ” as director of Union Banking Corporation in 1942 !
That ’ s right !
As demonstrated in the 1992 Unauthorized Biography of George Bush , eleven months after America entered WWII , the Federal Government naturally conducted an investigation of all Nazi banking operations @ @ @ @ @ @ @ continued to direct a bank which was so deeply enmeshed with Fritz Thyssen ’ s Bank voor Handel en Scheepvart of the Netherlands .
Thyssen for those who are un-aware is the German industrial magnate famous for writing the book “ I Paid Hitler ” .
The bank itself was tied to a German combine called Steel Works of the German Steel Trust which controlled 50.8 % of Nazi Germany ’ s pig iron , 41.4 % of its universal plate , 38.5 % of its galvanized steel , 45.5 % of its @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Under Vesting Order 248 , the U.S. federal government seized all of Prescott ’ s properties on October 22 , 1942 .
The U.S.-German Steel combine was only one small part of a broader operation as Rockefeller ’ s Standard Oil had created a new international cartel alongside IG Farben ( the fourth largest company in the world ) in 1929 under the Young Plan .
Owen Young was a JP Morgan asset who headed General Electric and instituted a German debt repayment plan in 1928 that gave rise to the Bank @ @ @ @ @ @ @ consolidated an international cartel of industrialists and financiers on behalf of the City of London and Wall Street .
The largest of these cartels saw Henry Ford ’ s German operations merging with IG Farben , Dupont industries , Britain ’ s Shell and Rockefeller ’ s Standard Oil .
The 1928 cartel agreement also made it possible for Standard Oil to pass off all patents and technologies for the creation of synthetic gasoline from coal to IG Farben thus allowing Germany to rise from producing merely 300 000 tons of natural petroleum @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tons ( 85 % of its total ) during WWII !
Had this patent/technology transfer not taken place , it is a fact that the modern mechanized warfare that characterized WWII could never have occurred .
Two years before the Young Plan began , JP Morgan had already given a $ 100 million loan to Mussolini ’ s newly established fascist regime in Italy- with Democratic Party kingmaker Thomas Lamont playing the role of Prescott Bush in Wall Street ’ s Italian operation .
It wasn ’ t only JP Morgan who loved @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but Time Magazine ’ s Henry Luce unapologetically gushed over Il Duce putting Mussolini on the cover of Time eight times between 1923 and 1943 while relentlessly promoting fascism as the “ economic miracle solution for America ” ( which he also did in his other two magazines Fortune and Life ) .
Many desperate Americans , still traumatized from the long and painful depression begun in 1929 , had increasingly embraced the poisonous idea that an American fascism would put food on the table and finally find help them find work @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Brown Brothers Harriman .
Bush ’ s Nazi bank itself was the spawn of an earlier 1931 merger which took place between Montagu Norman ’ s family bank ( Brown Brothers ) and Harriman , Bush and Co. Montague Norman was the Governor of the Bank of England from 1920 to 1944 , leader of the Anglo-German Fellowship Trust and controller of Germany ’ s Hjalmar Schacht ( Reichsbank president from 1923-1930 and Minister of Economy from 1934-1937 ) .
Norman was also the primary controller of the Bank of International Settlements @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1930 throughout the entirety of WWII .
Although the BIS was established under the Young Plan and nominally steered by Schacht as a mechanism for debt repayments from WWI , the Swiss-based “ Central Bank of Central Banks ” was the key mechanism for international financiers to fund the Nazi machine .
The fact that the BIS was under the total control of Montagu Norman was revealed by Dutch Central Banker Johan Beyen who said “ Norman ’ s prestige was overwhelming .
As the apostle of central bank cooperation , he made @ @ @ @ @ @ @ arch-priest of monetary religion .
The BIS was , in fact , his creation.
” The founding members of the Board included the private central banks of Britain , France , Germany , Italy and Belgium as well as a coterie of 3 private American banks ( JP Morgan , First National of Chicago , and First National of New York ) .
The three American banks merged after the war and are today known as Citigroup and JP Morgan Chase .
In its founding constitution , the BIS , its directors and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ national laws and not even authorities in Switzerland were permitted to enter its premises .
This story was conveyed powerfully in the 2013 book Tower of Basel : The Shadowy History of the Secret Bank that Runs the World .
Nazi support in the build up to , and during WWII didn ’ t end with finance and industrial might , but extended to the governing scientific ideology of the third Reich : Eugenics ( aka : the science of Social Darwinism as developed by Thomas Huxley ’ s X Club associate Herbert @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Francis Galton decades earlier ) .
In 1932 , New York hosted the Third Eugenics Conference co-sponsored by William Draper Jr ( JP Morgan banker , head of General Motors and leading figure of Dillon Read and co ) and the Harriman family .
This conference brought together leading eugenicists from around the world who came to study America ’ s successful application of eugenics laws which had begun in 1907 under the enthusiastic patronage of Theodore Roosevelt .
Hiding behind the respectable veneer of “ science ” these high priests of science @ @ @ @ @ @ @ evolution of man ” which would soon be made possible under a global scientific dictatorship .
Speaking at the conference , leading British Fascist Fairfield Osborn said that eugenics : “ aids and encourages the survival and multiplication of the fittest ; indirectly , it would check and discourage the multiplication of the unfitted .
As to the latter , in the United States alone , it is widely recognized that there are millions of people who are acting as dragnets or sheet anchors on the progress of the ship of state…While some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mass of unemployment is among the less competent , who are first selected for suspension , while the few highly competent people are retained because they are still indispensable .
In nature , these less-fitted individuals would gradually disappear , but in civilization , we are keeping them in the community in the hopes that in brighter days , they may all find employment .
This is only another instance of humane civilization going directly against the order of nature and encouraging the survival of the un-fittest ” .
The dark days of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bigotry and ignorance as eugenics laws were applied to two Canadian provinces , and widely spread across Europe and America with 30 U.S. states applying eugenics laws to sterilize the unfit .
Eugenics ’ successful growth was due in large measure to the fierce financial support of the Rockefeller Foundation and the science magazine Nature which had been created in 1865 by T.H .
Huxley ’ s X Club .
The Rockefeller Foundation went onto fund German eugenics and most specifically the rising star of human improvement Joseph Mengele .
Describing his January @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Round Table controller Lord Lothian quoted the Fuhrer ’ s vision for Aryan co-direction of the New World Order saying : “ Germany , England , France , Italy , America and Scandinavia … should arrive at some agreement whereby they would prevent their nationals from assisting in the industrializing of countries such as China , and India .
It is suicidal to promote the establishment in the agricultural countries of Asia of manufacturing industries ” While it is obvious that much more can be said on the topic , the Fascist machine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Dr. Frankensteins in London wished , as Hitler began to realize that his powerful military machine gave Germany the power to lead the New World Order rather than play second fiddle as mere enforcers on behalf of their Anglo masters in Britain .
While many London and Wall Street oligarchs were willing to adapt to this new reality , a decision was made to abort the plan , and try to fight another day .
To do this a scandal was concocted to justify the abdication of pro-Nazi King Edward VIII in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Chamberlain was replaced with Winston Churchill in 1940 .
While Sir Winston was a life long racist , eugenicist and even Mussolini-admirer , he was first and foremost a devout British Imperialist and as such would fight tooth and nail to save the prestige of the Empire if it were threatened .
Which he did .
Within America itself , the pro-fascist Wall Street establishment had been loosing a war that began the day anti-fascist President Franklin Roosevelt was elected in 1932 .
Not only had their attempted February 1933 assassination failed , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were also thwarted by a patriotic General named Smedley Darlington Butler .
To make matters worse , their efforts to keep America out of the war in the hopes of co-leading the New World Order alongside Germany , France and Italy was also falling apart .
A As I outlined in my recent article How to Crush a Bankers ’ Dictatorship , between 1933-1939 , FDR had imposed sweeping reforms on the banking sector , thwarted a major attempt to create a global Bankers ’ dictatorship under the Bank of International Settlements , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ New Deal .
By 1941 , Japan ’ s attack on Pearl Harbor polarized the American psyche so deeply that resisting America ’ s entry into WWII as Wall Street ’ s American Liberty League had been doing up until then , became political suicide .
Wall Street ’ s corporatist organizations were called out by FDR during a powerful 1938 speech as the president reminded the Congress of the true nature of fascism : “ The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself .
That , in its essence , is fascism – ownership of government by an individual , by a group , or by any other controlling private power… Among us today a concentration of private power without equal in history is growing .
This concentration is seriously impairing the economic effectiveness of private enterprise as a way of providing employment for labor and capital and as a way of assuring a more equitable distribution of income and earnings among the people of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s entry into WWII proved a decisive factor in the destruction of the fascist machine , the dream shared by Franklin Roosevelt , Henry Wallace and many of FDR ’ s closest allies across America , Canada , Europe , China and Russia for a world governed by large-scale development , and win-win cooperation did not come to pass .
Even though FDR ’ s ally Harry Dexter White led in the fight to shut down the Bank of International Settlements during the July 1944 Bretton Woods conference , the passage of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ audit its books were never put into action .
While White , who was to become the first head of the IMF , defended FDR ’ s program to create a new anti-imperial system of finance , Fabian Society leader , and devout eugenicist John Maynard Keynes defended the Bank and pushed instead to redefine the post-war system around a one world currency called the Bancor , controlled by the Bank of England and BIS .
The Fascist Resurgence in the Post-War World By the end of 1945 , the Truman Doctrine and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s anti-colonial vision , while an anti-communist witch hunt turned America into a fascist police state under FBI surveillance .
Everyone friendly to Russia was targeted for destruction and the first to feel that targeting were FDR ’ s close allies Henry Wallace and Harry Dexter White whose 1948 death while campaigning for Wallace ’ s presidential bid put an end to anti-colonialists running the IMF .
In the decades after WWII , those same financiers who brought the world fascism went straight back to work infiltrating FDR ’ s Bretton Woods @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Bank , turning them from tools of development , into tools of enslavement .
This process was fully exposed in the 2004 book Confessions of an Economic Hit man by John Perkins .
The European banking houses representing the old nobility of the empire continued through this reconquering of the west without punishment .
By 1971 , the man whom Perkins exposed as the chief economic hit man George Schultz , orchestrated the removal of the U.S. dollar from the Gold-reserve , fixed exchange rate system director of the Office of Management of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Rothschild Inter-Alpha Group of banks was created to usher in a new age of globalization .
This 1971 floating of the dollar ushered in a new paradigm of consumerism , post-industrialism , and de-regulation which transformed the once productive western nations into speculative “ post-truth ” basket cases convinced that casino principles , bubbles and windmills were substitutes for agro-industrial economic practices .
So here we are in 2020 celebrating victory over fascism .
The children and grandchildren of those heroes of 1945 now find themselves attached to the biggest financial collapse @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fictitious capital ripe to explode under a new global hyperinflation akin to that which destroyed Weimar in 1923 , but this time global .
The Bank of International Settlements that should have been dissolved in 1945 today controls the Financial Stability Board and thus regulates the world derivatives trade which has become the weapon of mass destruction that has been triggered to unleash more chaos upon the world than Hitler could have ever dreamed .
The saving grace today is that the anti-fascist spirit of Franklin Roosevelt is alive in the form of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and a growing array of nations united under the umbrella of the New Deal of the 21st Century which has come to be called the “ Belt and Road Initiative ” .
Had Prescott ’ s grandson Jeb ( or Prescott ’ s spiritual grand daughter Hillary ) found themselves in the position of President of the USA at this moment , it is unlikely that I would be writing this now , as I ’ m fairly certain WWIII would have already been launched .
However , with President Trump having successfully @ @ @ @ @ @ @ subversion , and having called repeatedly for a positive alliance with Russia and China , a chance still exists to take the types of emergency actions needed at this moment of existential crisis to do what FDR had always intended , and win World War II .
Meanwhile , the Bush clan still prospers .

Today, as the world celebrates the 75th anniversary of this victory, why not think very seriously about finally winning that war once and for all?
If you’re confused by this statement, then you might want to sit down and take a deep breath before reading on. Within the next 12 minutes, you will likely discover a disturbing fact which may frighten you a little bit: The allies never actually won World War II…
Now please don’t get me wrong. I am eternally thankful for the immortal souls who gave their lives to put down the fascist machine during those bleak years… but the fact is that a certain something wasn’t resolved on the 9th of May, 1945 which has a lot to do with the slow re-emergence of a new form of fascism during the second half of the 20th century and the renewed danger of a global bankers’ dictatorship which the world faces again today.
It is my contention that it is only when we find the courage to really look at this problem with sober eyes, that we will be able to truly honor our courageous forebears who devoted their lives to winning a peace for their children, grandchildren and humanity more broadly.
The Ugly Truth of WWII
I’ll stop beating around the Bush now and just say it: Adolph Hitler or Benito Mussolini were never “their own men”.
The machines they led were never fully under their sovereign control and the financing they used as fuel in their effort to dominate the world did not come from the Banks of Italy or Germany. The technologies they used in petrochemicals, rubber, and computing didn’t come from Germany or Italy, and the governing scientific ideology of eugenics that drove so many of the horrors of Germany’s racial purification practices never originated in the minds of German thinkers or from German institutions.
Were it not for a powerful network of financiers and industrialists of the 1920s-1940s with names such as Rockefeller, Warburg, Montague Norman, Osborn, Morgan, Harriman or Dulles, then it can safely be said that fascism would never have been possible as a “solution” to the economic woes of the post-WWI order. To prove this point, let us take the strange case of Prescott Bush as a useful entry point.
The patriarch of the same Bush dynasty that gave the world two disastrous American presidents (and nearly a third had Donald Trump not annihilated Jeb at the last minute in 2016) made a name for himself funding Nazism alongside his business partners Averell Harriman and Averell’s younger brother E. Roland Harriman (the latter who was to recruit Prescott to Skull and Bones while both studying at Yale). Not only did Prescott, acting as director of Brown Brothers Harriman, provide valuable loans to keep the bankrupt Nazi party afloat during Hitler’s loss of support in 1932 when the German population voted into office the anti-Fascist General Kurt von Schleicher as Chancellor, but was even found guilty for “Trading with the enemy” as director of Union Banking Corporation in 1942!
That’s right! As demonstrated in the 1992 Unauthorized Biography of George Bush, eleven months after America entered WWII, the Federal Government naturally conducted an investigation of all Nazi banking operations in the USA and wondered why Prescott continued to direct a bank which was so deeply enmeshed with Fritz Thyssen’s Bank voor Handel en Scheepvart of the Netherlands. Thyssen for those who are un-aware is the German industrial magnate famous for writing the book “I Paid Hitler”. The bank itself was tied to a German combine called Steel Works of the German Steel Trust which controlled 50.8% of Nazi Germany’s pig iron, 41.4% of its universal plate, 38.5% of its galvanized steel, 45.5% of its pipes and 35% of its explosives. Under Vesting Order 248, the U.S. federal government seized all of Prescott’s properties on October 22, 1942.
The U.S.-German Steel combine was only one small part of a broader operation as Rockefeller’s Standard Oil had created a new international cartel alongside IG Farben (the fourth largest company in the world) in 1929 under the Young Plan. Owen Young was a JP Morgan asset who headed General Electric and instituted a German debt repayment plan in 1928 that gave rise to the Bank of International Settlements (BIS) and consolidated an international cartel of industrialists and financiers on behalf of the City of London and Wall Street. The largest of these cartels saw Henry Ford’s German operations merging with IG Farben, Dupont industries, Britain’s Shell and Rockefeller’s Standard Oil. The 1928 cartel agreement also made it possible for Standard Oil to pass off all patents and technologies for the creation of synthetic gasoline from coal to IG Farben thus allowing Germany to rise from producing merely 300 000 tons of natural petroleum in 1934 to an incredible 6.5 million tons (85% of its total) during WWII! Had this patent/technology transfer not taken place, it is a fact that the modern mechanized warfare that characterized WWII could never have occurred.
Two years before the Young Plan began, JP Morgan had already given a $100 million loan to Mussolini’s newly established fascist regime in Italy- with Democratic Party kingmaker Thomas Lamont playing the role of Prescott Bush in Wall Street’s Italian operation. It wasn’t only JP Morgan who loved Mussolini’s brand of corporate fascism, but Time Magazine’s Henry Luce unapologetically gushed over Il Duce putting Mussolini on the cover of Time eight times between 1923 and 1943 while relentlessly promoting fascism as the “economic miracle solution for America” (which he also did in his other two magazines Fortune and Life). Many desperate Americans, still traumatized from the long and painful depression begun in 1929, had increasingly embraced the poisonous idea that an American fascism would put food on the table and finally find help them find work.
A few words should be said of Brown Brothers Harriman.
Bush’s Nazi bank itself was the spawn of an earlier 1931 merger which took place between Montagu Norman’s family bank (Brown Brothers) and Harriman, Bush and Co. Montague Norman was the Governor of the Bank of England from 1920 to 1944, leader of the Anglo-German Fellowship Trust and controller of Germany’s Hjalmar Schacht (Reichsbank president from 1923-1930 and Minister of Economy from 1934-1937). Norman was also the primary controller of the Bank of International Settlements (BIS) from its creation in 1930 throughout the entirety of WWII.
The Central Bank of Central Banks
Although the BIS was established under the Young Plan and nominally steered by Schacht as a mechanism for debt repayments from WWI, the Swiss-based “Central Bank of Central Banks” was the key mechanism for international financiers to fund the Nazi machine. The fact that the BIS was under the total control of Montagu Norman was revealed by Dutch Central Banker Johan Beyen who said “Norman’s prestige was overwhelming. As the apostle of central bank cooperation, he made the central banker into a kind of arch-priest of monetary religion. The BIS was, in fact, his creation.”
The founding members of the Board included the private central banks of Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Belgium as well as a coterie of 3 private American banks (JP Morgan, First National of Chicago, and First National of New York). The three American banks merged after the war and are today known as Citigroup and JP Morgan Chase.
In its founding constitution, the BIS, its directors and staff were given immunity from all sovereign national laws and not even authorities in Switzerland were permitted to enter its premises.
This story was conveyed powerfully in the 2013 book Tower of Basel: The Shadowy History of the Secret Bank that Runs the World.
A Word on Eugenics
Nazi support in the build up to, and during WWII didn’t end with finance and industrial might, but extended to the governing scientific ideology of the third Reich: Eugenics (aka: the science of Social Darwinism as developed by Thomas Huxley’s X Club associate Herbert Spencer and Darwin’s cousin sir Francis Galton decades earlier). In 1932, New York hosted the Third Eugenics Conference co-sponsored by William Draper Jr (JP Morgan banker, head of General Motors and leading figure of Dillon Read and co) and the Harriman family. This conference brought together leading eugenicists from around the world who came to study America’s successful application of eugenics laws which had begun in 1907 under the enthusiastic patronage of Theodore Roosevelt. Hiding behind the respectable veneer of “science” these high priests of science discussed the new age of “directed evolution of man” which would soon be made possible under a global scientific dictatorship.
Speaking at the conference, leading British Fascist Fairfield Osborn said that eugenics:
“aids and encourages the survival and multiplication of the fittest; indirectly, it would check and discourage the multiplication of the unfitted. As to the latter, in the United States alone, it is widely recognized that there are millions of people who are acting as dragnets or sheet anchors on the progress of the ship of state…While some highly competent people are unemployed, the mass of unemployment is among the less competent, who are first selected for suspension, while the few highly competent people are retained because they are still indispensable. In nature, these less-fitted individuals would gradually disappear, but in civilization, we are keeping them in the community in the hopes that in brighter days, they may all find employment. This is only another instance of humane civilization going directly against the order of nature and encouraging the survival of the un-fittest”.
The dark days of the great depression were good years for bigotry and ignorance as eugenics laws were applied to two Canadian provinces, and widely spread across Europe and America with 30 U.S. states applying eugenics laws to sterilize the unfit. Eugenics’ successful growth was due in large measure to the fierce financial support of the Rockefeller Foundation and the science magazine Nature which had been created in 1865 by T.H. Huxley’s X Club. The Rockefeller Foundation went onto fund German eugenics and most specifically the rising star of human improvement Joseph Mengele.
The Nazi Frankenstein Monster is Aborted
Describing his January 29, 1935 meeting with Hitler, Round Table controller Lord Lothian quoted the Fuhrer’s vision for Aryan co-direction of the New World Order saying:
“Germany, England, France, Italy, America and Scandinavia … should arrive at some agreement whereby they would prevent their nationals from assisting in the industrializing of countries such as China, and India. It is suicidal to promote the establishment in the agricultural countries of Asia of manufacturing industries”
While it is obvious that much more can be said on the topic, the Fascist machine didn’t fully behave the way the Dr. Frankensteins in London wished, as Hitler began to realize that his powerful military machine gave Germany the power to lead the New World Order rather than play second fiddle as mere enforcers on behalf of their Anglo masters in Britain. While many London and Wall Street oligarchs were willing to adapt to this new reality, a decision was made to abort the plan, and try to fight another day.
To do this a scandal was concocted to justify the abdication of pro-Nazi King Edward VIII in 1936 and an appeasing Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain was replaced with Winston Churchill in 1940. While Sir Winston was a life long racist, eugenicist and even Mussolini-admirer, he was first and foremost a devout British Imperialist and as such would fight tooth and nail to save the prestige of the Empire if it were threatened. Which he did.
The Fascists vs Franklin Roosevelt
Within America itself, the pro-fascist Wall Street establishment had been loosing a war that began the day anti-fascist President Franklin Roosevelt was elected in 1932. Not only had their attempted February 1933 assassination failed, their 1934 coup d’etat plans were also thwarted by a patriotic General named Smedley Darlington Butler. To make matters worse, their efforts to keep America out of the war in the hopes of co-leading the New World Order alongside Germany, France and Italy was also falling apart. A As I outlined in my recent article How to Crush a Bankers’ Dictatorship, between 1933-1939, FDR had imposed sweeping reforms on the banking sector, thwarted a major attempt to create a global Bankers’ dictatorship under the Bank of International Settlements, and mobilized a broad recovery under the New Deal.
By 1941, Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor polarized the American psyche so deeply that resisting America’s entry into WWII as Wall Street’s American Liberty League had been doing up until then, became political suicide. Wall Street’s corporatist organizations were called out by FDR during a powerful 1938 speech as the president reminded the Congress of the true nature of fascism:
“The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism – ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power… Among us today a concentration of private power without equal in history is growing. This concentration is seriously impairing the economic effectiveness of private enterprise as a way of providing employment for labor and capital and as a way of assuring a more equitable distribution of income and earnings among the people of the nation as a whole.”
While America’s entry into WWII proved a decisive factor in the destruction of the fascist machine, the dream shared by Franklin Roosevelt, Henry Wallace and many of FDR’s closest allies across America, Canada, Europe, China and Russia for a world governed by large-scale development, and win-win cooperation did not come to pass.
Even though FDR’s ally Harry Dexter White led in the fight to shut down the Bank of International Settlements during the July 1944 Bretton Woods conference, the passage of White’s resolutions to dissolve BISand audit its books were never put into action. While White, who was to become the first head of the IMF, defended FDR’s program to create a new anti-imperial system of finance, Fabian Society leader, and devout eugenicist John Maynard Keynes defended the Bank and pushed instead to redefine the post-war system around a one world currency called the Bancor, controlled by the Bank of England and BIS.
The Fascist Resurgence in the Post-War World
By the end of 1945, the Truman Doctrine and Anglo-American “special relationship” replaced FDR’s anti-colonial vision, while an anti-communist witch hunt turned America into a fascist police state under FBI surveillance. Everyone friendly to Russia was targeted for destruction and the first to feel that targeting were FDR’s close allies Henry Wallace and Harry Dexter White whose 1948 death while campaigning for Wallace’s presidential bid put an end to anti-colonialists running the IMF.
In the decades after WWII, those same financiers who brought the world fascism went straight back to work infiltrating FDR’s Bretton Woods Institutions such as the IMF and World Bank, turning them from tools of development, into tools of enslavement. This process was fully exposed in the 2004 book Confessions of an Economic Hit man by John Perkins.
The European banking houses representing the old nobility of the empire continued through this reconquering of the west without punishment. By 1971, the man whom Perkins exposed as the chief economic hit man George Schultz, orchestrated the removal of the U.S. dollar from the Gold-reserve, fixed exchange rate system director of the Office of Management of Budget and in the same year, the Rothschild Inter-Alpha Group of banks was created to usher in a new age of globalization. This 1971 floating of the dollar ushered in a new paradigm of consumerism, post-industrialism, and de-regulation which transformed the once productive western nations into speculative “post-truth” basket cases convinced that casino principles, bubbles and windmills were substitutes for agro-industrial economic practices.
So here we are in 2020 celebrating victory over fascism.
The children and grandchildren of those heroes of 1945 now find themselves attached to the biggest financial collapse in history with $1.5 quadrillion of fictitious capital ripe to explode under a new global hyperinflation akin to that which destroyed Weimar in 1923, but this time global. The Bank of International Settlements that should have been dissolved in 1945 today controls the Financial Stability Board and thus regulates the world derivatives trade which has become the weapon of mass destruction that has been triggered to unleash more chaos upon the world than Hitler could have ever dreamed.
The saving grace today is that the anti-fascist spirit of Franklin Roosevelt is alive in the form of modern anti-imperialists Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping and a growing array of nations united under the umbrella of the New Deal of the 21st Century which has come to be called the “Belt and Road Initiative”.
Had Prescott’s grandson Jeb (or Prescott’s spiritual grand daughter Hillary) found themselves in the position of President of the USA at this moment, it is unlikely that I would be writing this now, as I’m fairly certain WWIII would have already been launched. However, with President Trump having successfully survived nearly four years of Deep State subversion, and having called repeatedly for a positive alliance with Russia and China, a chance still exists to take the types of emergency actions needed at this moment of existential crisis to do what FDR had always intended, and win World War II.
Meanwhile, the Bush clan still prospers.

With presumptive Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden currently enjoying a six-point lead in a recent national poll conducted by USA Today/Suffolk University , it is not too early to speculate about what a Biden administration foreign policy toward Israel and the Palestinian people might look like .
Based on the former vice president ’ s current campaign pledges , and past statements made during the Obama administration and throughout his lengthy tenure in the Senate , a Biden administration would not be likely to content itself with reverting to Obama era policies of providing lip service toward Palestinian rights while @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for Israel .
Instead , Biden is a throwback to a bygone era when Democrats and Republicans demonstrated equal fealty toward Israel and disregarded Palestinian rights altogether .
A Biden administration would likely reflect that outmoded worldview .
Biden ’ s campaign website situates his proposed policies toward Israel and the Palestinian people not under foreign policy , but as an extension of his “ record and a plan of friendship , support and action ” toward the “ Jewish community ” .
Biden ’ s conflation of old-school Israel advocacy with the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Jewish community ” is not only a misreading of actual divisions within Jewish- American communities toward Israel .
In the Trump era of unabashed white supremacy , this presumed dual loyal trope also inadvertently contributes to the “ othering ” of Jewish-Americans and helps fuel the deadly resurgence of antisemitism in the United States .
Worse yet is the content of Biden ’ s positions and proposals , which are barely distinguishable from Trump ’ s policies , notwithstanding a few tepid critiques .
Four of Biden ’ s six bullet points demonstrating @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reiterate his commitment to providing Israel with weapons .
Another spotlights his opposition to BDS , despite the participation of many Jewish-Americans in this movement for Palestinian rights .
He pledges his administration would “ firmly reject the BDS movement ” without providing any specifics , potentially leaving open the door for supporting unconstitutional legislative efforts to impinge upon the freedom of speech of people advocating for Palestinian rights .
While Biden promises to “ reverse the Trump Administration ’ s destructive cutoff of diplomatic ties with the Palestinian Authority ” ( pro @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the PLO , not the PA , conducts diplomacy on behalf of the Palestinian people ) and restore US aid , it is clear that Biden envisions a restoration of the status quo ante rather than any proactive agenda to promote a just resolution .
Biden can ’ t even bring himself to unequivocally support the antiquated policy option of Palestinian statehood .
Instead , he merely pledges “ to keep the prospect of a negotiated two-state outcome alive ” presumably through further futile peace processing : negotiations for the sake of maintaining @ @ @ @ @ @ @ produce an accord .
Reflecting Branko Marcetic ’ s aptly named book on Biden , Yesterday ’ s Man , the candidate also yearns for a return to the bygone era of bipartisan comity on Israel .
He vows to reverse “ Trump ’ s exploitation of U.S. support for Israel as a political football , ” reducing the vast and likely irreversible chasm in public opinion between Democrats and Republicans to the policies of the current president .
However , as Biden is undoubtedly aware , Trump is only an exploiter , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ divide over Israel and the Palestinian people .
This phenomenon was quite evident already during the Obama administration and was further entrenched by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ’ s deliberate provocations to humiliate and frustrate the policy objectives of President Obama , including his announcement of settlement expansion during Biden ’ s 2010 visit to Jerusalem .
Before the coronavirus brought the Democratic primary campaign to a screeching halt , Biden further demonstrated how out-of-step his policies toward Israel are with the base of the party he seeks to lead .
As @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and even the slickly packaged centrist Pete Buttigieg , raised the possibility of conditioning military aid to Israel , Biden vehemently mooted the idea .
In his churlish , “ lying , dog-faced pony soldier ” manner , Biden called the sensible proposal , which was supported by a majority of Democrats in a 2018 Brookings poll , a “ gigantic mistake ” and “ absolutely outrageous ” .
Not only is Biden lagging behind the base of his party when it comes to Palestinian rights .
It also appears that his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mystical , and touching upon his bedrock identity .
In other words , his positions on Israel look immutable , in stark contrast to the malleability and tractability of a candidate otherwise unmoored from any coherent set of principles underlying his policies .
Inasmuch as almost any politician could be credited with being genuine , Biden ’ s 2011 speech to a gathering of 2,000 rabbis and other Jewish leaders in Detroit is worth quoting in some length for the light it sheds on his identification with Israel .
“ Although…I was not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was educated in the traditions of Judaism .
I was educated about the oppression and genocide committed against the Jews , the historic ties between the Jewish people and the land of Israel .
I was educated at my dinner table by what my Jewish friends at home refer to — and you would — as a righteous Christian , a man who taught us that without vigilance , the safe haven of Israel , it could happen again without Israel .
I got in trouble some years ago…About 18 , 20 years @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Zionist Organization of Baltimore .
And I said , I am a Zionist , for I learned you do not have to be a Jew to be a Zionist .
The fact of the matter is that the man who raised me was absolutely committed to the notion that it should never happen again , the man who could not understand why there could even be a debate about the establishment of the state of Israel .
That man was my dad.
” For Biden , commitment to Israel is a mixture of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a blind eye to Israel ’ s oppression as a way to assuage his guilty conscience over Christian antisemitism .
His more than three-decade-long tenure in the Senate also provides ample confirmation of lockstep support for Israel and utter insouciance toward Palestinian rights , perhaps best exemplified by his staunch support for the 1995 Jerusalem Embassy Act , the most consequential piece of Israel-related legislation Congress passed during his Senate career .
The bill required the president to move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem , but allowed for a loophole @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Obama , and even once by Trump , to keep the embassy in place through a national security waiver .
Passed in the immediate months before Israel and the PLO were supposed to have begun permanent status talks , the act was a provocative attempt by Congress to prejudge these issues in Israel ’ s favor and was a harbinger of Trump ’ s policies .
As Michael Arria pointed out last week in The Shift , here is a video of Biden passionately advocating for the bill on the Senate floor while @ @ @ @ @ @ @ connection to the city or Palestinian national rights therein .
Is there any hope that a Biden administration would break with the candidate ’ s half-century record of “ unstinting support for Israel ” ?
It ’ s highly unlikely , unless his previous rhetoric has just been a shtick to be discarded when needed .
Perhaps this could be the case .
His casual condemnation of Trump ’ s move of the US embassy to Jerusalem ( “ The move shouldn ’ t have happened in the context as it did , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a larger deal to help us achieve important concessions for peace in the process .
Moving the embassy when we did without the conditions having been met was short-sighted and frivolous ” ) certainly belied the passion of his Senate floor speech .
Indeed , Biden ’ s adoption of Sanders ’ s and Warren ’ s plans on college tuition and bankruptcy reform along with his appropriation of their rhetoric certainly lends credence to the theory that Biden is a shape-shifting , unprincipled politician willing to adopt policies and positions to bolster @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on Israel and the Palestinian people as well in a similar manner if he feels the pressure to do so from the base of his party and a growing contingent of Democratic Members of Congress pushing for change .

[dropcap]W[/dropcap]ith presumptive Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden currently enjoying a six-point lead in a recent national poll conducted by USA Today/Suffolk University, it is not too early to speculate about what a Biden administration foreign policy toward Israel and the Palestinian people might look like.
Based on the former vice president’s current campaign pledges, and past statements made during the Obama administration and throughout his lengthy tenure in the Senate, a Biden administration would not be likely to content itself with reverting to Obama era policies of providing lip service toward Palestinian rights while nevertheless reinforcing US diplomatic and military support for Israel.
Instead, Biden is a throwback to a bygone era when Democrats and Republicans demonstrated equal fealty toward Israel and disregarded Palestinian rights altogether. A Biden administration would likely reflect that outmoded worldview.
Biden’s campaign website situates his proposed policies toward Israel and the Palestinian people not under foreign policy, but as an extension of his “record and a plan of friendship, support and action” toward the “Jewish community”.
Biden’s conflation of old-school Israel advocacy with the supposed interests of an imagined monolithic “Jewish community” is not only a misreading of actual divisions within Jewish- American communities toward Israel. In the Trump era of unabashed white supremacy, this presumed dual loyal trope also inadvertently contributes to the “othering” of Jewish-Americans and helps fuel the deadly resurgence of antisemitism in the United States.
Worse yet is the content of Biden’s positions and proposals, which are barely distinguishable from Trump’s policies, notwithstanding a few tepid critiques. Four of Biden’s six bullet points demonstrating his “unstinting support for Israel” reiterate his commitment to providing Israel with weapons.

While Biden promises to “reverse the Trump Administration’s destructive cutoff of diplomatic ties with the Palestinian Authority” (pro tip for Biden’s advisers: the PLO, not the PA, conducts diplomacy on behalf of the Palestinian people) and restore US aid, it is clear that Biden envisions a restoration of the status quo ante rather than any proactive agenda to promote a just resolution.
Biden can’t even bring himself to unequivocally support the antiquated policy option of Palestinian statehood. Instead, he merely pledges “to keep the prospect of a negotiated two-state outcome alive” presumably through further futile peace processing: negotiations for the sake of maintaining the fiction that negotiations are designed to produce an accord.
Reflecting Branko Marcetic’s aptly named book on Biden, Yesterday’s Man, the candidate also yearns for a return to the bygone era of bipartisan comity on Israel. He vows to reverse “Trump’s exploitation of U.S. support for Israel as a political football,” reducing the vast and likely irreversible chasm in public opinion between Democrats and Republicans to the policies of the current president.
However, as Biden is undoubtedly aware, Trump is only an exploiter, not an originator, of the partisan divide over Israel and the Palestinian people. This phenomenon was quite evident already during the Obama administration and was further entrenched by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s deliberate provocations to humiliate and frustrate the policy objectives of President Obama, including his announcement of settlement expansion during Biden’s 2010 visit to Jerusalem.
Before the coronavirus brought the Democratic primary campaign to a screeching halt, Biden further demonstrated how out-of-step his policies toward Israel are with the base of the party he seeks to lead. As progressive standard-bearers Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, and even the slickly packaged centrist Pete Buttigieg, raised the possibility of conditioning military aid to Israel, Biden vehemently mooted the idea. In his churlish, “lying, dog-faced pony soldier” manner, Biden called the sensible proposal, which was supported by a majority of Democrats in a 2018 Brookings poll, a “gigantic mistake” and “absolutely outrageous”.
Not only is Biden lagging behind the base of his party when it comes to Palestinian rights. It also appears that his devotion to Israel is sincere, almost mystical, and touching upon his bedrock identity. In other words, his positions on Israel look immutable, in stark contrast to the malleability and tractability of a candidate otherwise unmoored from any coherent set of principles underlying his policies.
Inasmuch as almost any politician could be credited with being genuine, Biden’s 2011 speech to a gathering of 2,000 rabbis and other Jewish leaders in Detroit is worth quoting in some length for the light it sheds on his identification with Israel.

For Biden, commitment to Israel is a mixture of filial piety and a willingness to turn a blind eye to Israel’s oppression as a way to assuage his guilty conscience over Christian antisemitism.
His more than three-decade-long tenure in the Senate also provides ample confirmation of lockstep support for Israel and utter insouciance toward Palestinian rights, perhaps best exemplified by his staunch support for the 1995 Jerusalem Embassy Act, the most consequential piece of Israel-related legislation Congress passed during his Senate career.
The bill required the president to move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, but allowed for a loophole invoked by Presidents Clinton, Bush, Obama, and even once by Trump, to keep the embassy in place through a national security waiver.
Passed in the immediate months before Israel and the PLO were supposed to have begun permanent status talks, the act was a provocative attempt by Congress to prejudge these issues in Israel’s favor and was a harbinger of Trump’s policies.
As Michael Arria pointed out last week in The Shift, here is a video of Biden passionately advocating for the bill on the Senate floor while completely eliding over any Christian or Muslims connection to the city or Palestinian national rights therein.
Is there any hope that a Biden administration would break with the candidate’s half-century record of “unstinting support for Israel”? It’s highly unlikely, unless his previous rhetoric has just been a shtick to be discarded when needed.
Perhaps this could be the case.

Indeed, Biden’s adoption of Sanders’s and Warren’s plans on college tuition and bankruptcy reform along with his appropriation of their rhetoric certainly lends credence to the theory that Biden is a shape-shifting, unprincipled politician willing to adopt policies and positions to bolster his popularity. Potentially Biden could flip-flop on Israel and the Palestinian people as well in a similar manner if he feels the pressure to do so from the base of his party and a growing contingent of Democratic Members of Congress pushing for change.

An absorbing and enlightening talk by a man who studies animals without too much human prejudice
What happens when two monkeys are paid unequally? Fairness, reciprocity, empathy, cooperation -- caring about the well-being of others seems like a very human trait. But Frans de Waal shares some surprising videos of behavioral tests, on primates and other mammals, that show how many of these moral traits all of us share.

thegreanvillepostbiasrating--2020-05-11--Trump Hails Defeat of Fascism as He Paves War With China

The explosive tensions and hostility from Washington towards China pre-date the Covid-19 pandemic .
The latter has merely brought U.S. belligerence to the fore .
This belligerence stems from American global power based on imperialist impulses and its fixation on hegemony .
Hence the same kind of bellicosity is expressed at other times towards other nations deemed to be obstacles to U.S. power .
Russia is apt to being the focus of Washington ’ s ire when the latter is not obsessed with China .
Other nations targeted include Iran , Venezuela , North Korea and Syria .
With characteristic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a customary phone call with Trump this week to mark the 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in Europe .
Both leaders reportedly emphasized the historic significance of the defeat of Nazi Germany and fascism .
Putin reminded his American counterpart of the “ allied spirit ” in winning that victory when the troops from both nations embraced on the River Elbe in Germany on 25 April 1945 , two weeks before the final surrender of the Nazi Reich .
Such an appeal to a contemporary U.S. leader is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump may mouth the appropriate platitudes about historic victory over fascism .
But his words are meaningless .
Indeed , the words of virtually every U.S. president since the end of WWII about defeating fascism and forging an international alliance for peace are meaningless .
With the possible exception of John F Kennedy who embraced genuine nuclear arms controls with Nikita Khrushchev in 1962-63 , only to be later assassinated by the American Deep State .
Following the Second World War and the birth of the U.S. military-industrial complex and the formation of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ CIA , international cooperation and peace would henceforth become anathema to American global interests .
In many ways , the U.S. state came to define its vital interests in imperialist terms .
Conflict and war would be a corollary of Washington ’ s foreign policy .
How many wars , subversions , subterfuges , proxy conflicts has the U.S. been engaged in over the past seven decades since the end of WWII ?
Dozens if not scores , amounting to millions of lives destroyed , whole nations irreparably scarred or destroyed , trillions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ futile to appeal to the United States , as it exists , in order to form any kind of peaceful cooperation or alliance .
It is wired for war because of its inherent imperialist functioning .
Just look at the way the current figure head in the White House is flouting normal diplomacy and decency in a madcap provocation for war with China .
President Putin like many other Russian people know the precious victory of WWII .
Nearly 27 million human beings from the former Soviet Union were killed in the war @ @ @ @ @ @ @ preciousness of peace .
If Trump and other U.S. leaders had any genuine appreciation of the defeat of fascism in 1945 , they would not be acting as the fascist bullyboys that they so evidently are today .
The barbarity of U.S. conduct , threats and sanctions towards China , Russia , Iran , Cuba , Venezuela and other nations , demonstrates that fascism is not dead .
The 75th anniversary only marks the defeat of a particular version of fascism – the Nazi Reich .
The United States and its thuggish president @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fascism continues .
It is even more an imminent threat today than ever .
Trump ’ s commemorative words on the 75th anniversary are delusional and an abject insult to the memory of those who died fighting fascism .

The explosive tensions and hostility from Washington towards China pre-date the Covid-19 pandemic. The latter has merely brought U.S. belligerence to the fore. This belligerence stems from American global power based on imperialist impulses and its fixation on hegemony. Hence the same kind of bellicosity is expressed at other times towards other nations deemed to be obstacles to U.S. power. Russia is apt to being the focus of Washington’s ire when the latter is not obsessed with China. Other nations targeted include Iran, Venezuela, North Korea and Syria.
With characteristic generosity, Russian President Vladimir Putin held a customary phone call with Trump this week to mark the 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in Europe. Both leaders reportedly emphasized the historic significance of the defeat of Nazi Germany and fascism. Putin reminded his American counterpart of the “allied spirit” in winning that victory when the troops from both nations embraced on the River Elbe in Germany on 25 April 1945, two weeks before the final surrender of the Nazi Reich.
Such an appeal to a contemporary U.S. leader is bound to fall on deaf ears. Trump may mouth the appropriate platitudes about historic victory over fascism. But his words are meaningless. Indeed, the words of virtually every U.S. president since the end of WWII about defeating fascism and forging an international alliance for peace are meaningless. With the possible exception of John F Kennedy who embraced genuine nuclear arms controls with Nikita Khrushchev in 1962-63, only to be later assassinated by the American Deep State.
Following the Second World War and the birth of the U.S. military-industrial complex and the formation of the national security state run by the CIA, international cooperation and peace would henceforth become anathema to American global interests. In many ways, the U.S. state came to define its vital interests in imperialist terms. Conflict and war would be a corollary of Washington’s foreign policy. How many wars, subversions, subterfuges, proxy conflicts has the U.S. been engaged in over the past seven decades since the end of WWII? Dozens if not scores, amounting to millions of lives destroyed, whole nations irreparably scarred or destroyed, trillions of dollars wasted.
The never-ending militarism of the United States is an integral part of its corporatist capitalist economy and corporatist political ruling system. Arms race, space weaponization and Cold Wars are the relentless manifestation of a belligerent state that views the world as zero-sum power play for domination. In short, fascism.
It is thus futile to appeal to the United States, as it exists, in order to form any kind of peaceful cooperation or alliance. It is wired for war because of its inherent imperialist functioning. Just look at the way the current figure head in the White House is flouting normal diplomacy and decency in a madcap provocation for war with China.
President Putin like many other Russian people know the precious victory of WWII. Nearly 27 million human beings from the former Soviet Union were killed in the war against fascism. Their descendants know the preciousness of peace.
If Trump and other U.S. leaders had any genuine appreciation of the defeat of fascism in 1945, they would not be acting as the fascist bullyboys that they so evidently are today. The barbarity of U.S. conduct, threats and sanctions towards China, Russia, Iran, Cuba, Venezuela and other nations, demonstrates that fascism is not dead. The 75th anniversary only marks the defeat of a particular version of fascism – the Nazi Reich.
The United States and its thuggish president show that the more general struggle against fascism continues. It is even more an imminent threat today than ever. Trump’s commemorative words on the 75th anniversary are delusional and an abject insult to the memory of those who died fighting fascism.

: Back in early February, the NYTimes ran a rather comprehensive piece on a pesky upstart competitor, The Epoch Times, a new entry in the media field apparently bankrolled by Falun Gong, a viciously anti-Beijing cult that many observers believe is being overtly financed by the CIA. While the latter assertion cannot be confirmed, and, considering the paper's defence of Trump (at loggerheads with the CIA's old establishment's contempt for the man, not to mention their Russiagate hoax caper) it is indeed an unlikely arrangement, many such things have been seen before so it is not to be tossed aside as completely groundless. After all, the main focus of Falun Gong and Epoch Times seem to be to bash China, something the US ruling class —Trump or no Trump—is definitely on board for, as numerous other hybrid war tentacles of the empire continue to show. Since this article was after all penned by a Timesman, the piece packs a fair share of assertions that almost put the critical reporter and its target on the same level of journalistic integrity—very slim. For one thing, the NYTimes is and has been for a long time, as the semi-official mouthpiece of the US ruling elites (along with its counterparts in the "establishment media"), a major source of public disinformation, that is, fake news. In fact fake news and false or dubious information are the main product of the US corporate media, and that goes for all its various platforms—print, tv, radio, social media, Hollywood, and so on. No exceptions.
A glaring example of major fake news was the entire "Russiagate" hoax, in which the NYTimes to this day has played a prominent role. Despite the fact that recent revelations have confirmed what many critics on the genuine left and alternative press said long ago —at least as far back as 2016—about the blatant lies and highhanded hypocrisy of the charges leveled at Trump and Russia (volleys always fired from the right, of course, as attacking Trump from the left, where he is and was vulnerable was impossible for Democrats who are de facto accomplices in his criminal policies). Thus, like the rest of the media, the Times shows no sign of acknowledgement or repentance for its willful participation in what is by any measure a hybrid coup (failed), and many of his columns dealing with foreign and domestic politics still carry the usual Russiagate venom, as this passage in the piece we reproduce below attests:
Companies like Facebook and Google, which owns YouTube, have hardened their defenses to prevent another Russian-style influence campaign. But they have been more lenient with publishers based in the United States, out of concern that they will appear to be taking sides and stepping on the First Amendment. ...That reluctance has set off worries about a rise in so-called domestic disinformation, and left a loophole for American organizations to push partisan messages with relative impunity. The New York Times reported last monththat Russian trolls were already trying to exploit this loophole by buying Facebook pages from Americans in an attempt to influence the 2020 election.
As any fair-minded person can surmise, it takes some galactic-size gall or sociopathic hypocrisy to fret about the putative menace of relatively minuscule Russian disinformation or their largely imaginary meddling in our sacrosanct but virtually desiccated democracy (especially when compared to the meddling openly indulged by other "friendly" countries) while you are yourself a gigantic fount of lies literally driving the main misleading or defective narratives consumed by 99% of the US population.
What's more, public media are hardly any better. They are contaminated, too. Thus, when it comes to anything even slightly related to political news, NPR and PBS are now reliably partisan territory, mostly shilling for the Democrat POV, which is of course as far from reality as anyone can decently expect, albeit a tad less coarse than the Republican version. Just a few hours of exposure to the fare distributed by Frontline these days, or the fabled Newshour, suffice to prove this point. Equally hidden in this and other regular reports by the NYTimes—which continues to pretend we inhabit a democracy with a vibrant free press and a rational well meaning foreign policy—is the paper's complicity in gradually helping to suffocate actual free speech in America (something in which the vile Democrats have been especially aggressive, even promoting the jawboning of the social media crowd) and which the NYT has been doing almost in cahoots with the Washington Post, the Times' main partner in this crime. Consistent with this risible assumption, the Times and its staff routinely treat companies like Facebook and Google, behemoths in their own right, extensively involved in the algorithmic murder of dissident voices, as if they were above reproach, exemplary citizens of the civic/corporate community of imagined shared interests. I would like you to bear such things in mind when you read this report on The Epoch Times, which, ironically, reminds us how valuable good journalism can be as demonstrated by this somewhat damaged piece which still manages to be highly informative on a topic not easily accessed elsewhere. —P.

Final nail in Russiagate coffin: CrowdStrike Admits No Evidence
12 May 2020
EDITOR'S NOTE
[dropcap]R[/dropcap]ussiagate was born of vile parentage between abject Hillary Democrat operatives and a CIA/FBI establishment that thought they could bring a president down by a huge disinformation campaign tantamount to a soft/slow mo coup. They figured that Trump's own and clear despicable sociopathic personality would make the job easy. Now the whole house of cards built on the old expedient of nonstop lies disseminated practically unchallenged for several years, is now finally crumbling under its own weight. Being partners in crime with Trump when he attacks the interests of ordinary Americans or pushes for war against nations large and small across the planet in the service of the global plutocracy, the Democrats chose to tackle Trump from the right, whereas his true vulnerabilities are and remain when attacked from the left. Schiff and his cabal led the parade. Now his downfall is finally at hand. It could not come too soon, but remember that scum has more than nine lives in a system that rewards scummy behavior. —PG
[dropcap]A[/dropcap]nd here we have confirmation of the same story by none other than Tucker Carlson, who sits on a high perch on Fox News, a Trump friendly platform. (Tucker is often refreshingly and articulately on target when denouncing many aspects of the rotten US establishment, especially the severely and malodorously rotten Democrat wing, but he mars his overall performance by his sinophobic obsession, something really unworthy he should stop). On this topic—Russiagate—he has been unusually helpful. As they say, when even your enemies admit it, it's probably true.
CAVEAT: The character assassination of Russia (and China) are not likely to go away anytime soon, despite these incontrovertible revelations. Why? Because while the two main wings of the US ruling class may be at times at loggerheads in their priorities, they are still very much unified on the Neocon dream of maintaining and expanding US global hegemony—at any cost. A telltale sign that this is so is the little or no coverage given these revelations which, considering the deafening noise for 3 years in which literally every major organ of the US media system participated, should have by logic (and simple professional integrity) been assigned top coverage across the entire journalistic landscape. It is up to us, the people, aided by citizen journalists, to get the story out. Don't wait for media worms like Rachel Maddow to do it.
Rep. Adam Schiff and the entire apparatus of official Washington has been exposed by these transcripts, as well as by the documents just released in the Michael Flynn case. #FoxNews #Tucker

thegreanvillepostbiasrating--2020-05-12--Stirrings of “#DemExit” among Bernie followers—Is a third party possible?

Please make sure these dispatches reach as many readers as possible. Share with kin, friends and workmates and ask them to do likewise.

Bernie's "Our Revolution" Votes to DemExit & start 3rd Party!
"#DemExit" is being debated among many Bernie followers—a hopeful sign if it matures and avoids getting co-opted.
Fool me once...well, he did it twice, so the jig should be up. No more trusting smooth Democrat-embedded demagogs like Bernie Sanders. And, contrary to what Jerry Perez says, when the people lead, they won't need failed leaders like Sanders in their ranks.

In retaliation for suggesting health measures to avoid the pandemic spreading, Bolsonaro fired Health Minister Luis Henrique Mandetta and replaced him with Nelson Teich, whose views are closer to Bolsonaro in terms of prioritising economics over health. Away from the humanitarian concerns which the Brazilian people are now facing, Bolsonaro is strengthening military ties with the U.S., building upon U.S. President Donald Trump’s designation of Brazil as a non-NATO ally in 2019. With the same period, NATO’s Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg had spoken about having more partners from Latin America for the alliance.

The U.S. may now speak of an allegedly democratic government in terms of elections. However, Bolsonaro’s intent to replicate the 1964 dictatorship under democratic guise, as well as the U.S.-Brazilian efforts to interfere in Venezuela, speak of a repetition of history. With Venezuela part of the U.S. military agenda, in collaboration with allies Colombia and Brazil, Bolsonaro has facilitated U.S. infiltration in the region and adopted the role of a country that has turned away from the regional unity which fuelled the quest for social change in Latin America. Now in the role of one of the U.S.’s major allies in the region, Bolsonaro will be able to take actions which leave the rhetorical glorification of military dictatorships in the background, given the opportunity to collaborate as an equal against his Latin American counterparts.
