Ron Unz, Two Years After Covid, Eyes Remain Firmly Shut

James Fetzerblog

Ron Unz With attention so heavily focused on the Russia-Ukraine war, the second anniversary of the outbreak of the Covid epidemic in the West passed without much public notice. The geopolitical consequences of the global rupture between America’s NATO alliance and Russia may be enormous, perhaps heralding the end of the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency. But most of this still lies in the realm of mere possibility, while for two years Covid has already disrupted the daily lives of many billions around the world and reshaped economies. Total…

500,000 FAKE DEATHS! Rebuttal by The Anti-New York Times

James Fetzerblog

The Anti-NewYork Times It began with a single dot. Oh the bloody front-page drama! 500,000 little dots to keep the normies frightened and compliant. About 9 months ago, the “Editorial Board” of The Anti-New York Times warned its readership that because there is a constant fresh supply of dead bodies from various causes — 2.9 million per year in the United States to be precise — “deaths” attributed to phony “flares-ups,” ™ “second waves” ™ and “variants” ™ of Stupid-19 would be about as easy to conjure up as the opening or closing of a water spigot. Now,…

Edward Curtin, Opening the CIA’s Can of Worms

James Fetzerblog

Edward Curtin “The CIA and the media are part of the same criminal conspiracy,” wrote Douglas Valentine in his important book, The CIA As Organized Crime. This is true.  The corporate mainstream media are stenographers for the national security state’s ongoing psychological operations aimed at the American people, just as they have done the same for an international audience. We have long been subjected to this “information warfare,” whose purpose is to win the hearts and minds of the American people and pacify them into victims of their own complicity, just…

New York Times, Rioters Followed a Long Conspiratorial Road to the Capitol

James Fetzerblog

By Elizabeth Williamson [Editor’s note: The New York Times has become more of a tabloid than a responsible news source, as the following article displays. For those who lack the background to appraise what it reports, check out Brian Wright’s Review of NOBODY DIED AT SANDY HOOK (2015); Mike Adam’s discussion of its ban by amazon.com and review of my role, “The Most Dangerous Mind in America”‘; and Kevin Barrett’s brilliant review of the trial, “The Legal Lynching of a Truth-Seeker: Jim Fetzer’s Stalinist-Style Show Trial”.] When Brendan Hunt was arrested and…

Sanders tells New York Times he would consider a preemptive strike against Iran or North Korea

James Fetzerblog

By Jacob Crosse and Barry Grey Valentine’s Day 2020 Bernie Sanders has won the popular vote in both the New Hampshire and Iowa presidential primary contests in considerable part by presenting himself as an opponent of war. Following the criminal assassination of Iranian General Qassem Suleimani last month, Sanders was the most vocal of the Democratic presidential aspirants in criticizing Trump’s action. His poll numbers have risen in tandem with his stepped-up anti-war rhetoric. He has repeatedly stressed his vote against the 2003 invasion of Iraq, reminding voters in the…

Matt Taibbi, Baghdadi Story Reveals Divided – and Broken – News Media

James Fetzerblog

By Matt Taibbi, Rolling Stone America received two almost completely different versions of the story of al-Baghdadi’s pursuit and suicide. If you have two sets of news media, you have none wo sets of headlines over the weekend described the suicide of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. From the Washington Post Sunday morning: Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, austere religious scholar at helm of Islamic State, dies at 48 The Post has since rewritten that, though the description of an “austere religious scholar with wire-rimmed glasses” remains in the lead paragraph. Meanwhile, the headline on Foxnews.com: Al-Baghdadi kill:…

Jim Fetzer, More Propaganda from The New York Times: What else would we expect?

James Fetzerblog

Jim Fetzer For good reasons have I described The New York Times as “The Langley Newsletter”, which has been powerfully confirmed by their most recent story about the Sandy Hook “Pozner v. Fetzer” lawsuit, where they claim that Mike Palecek and I asserted that “Lenny” had faked his son’s death certificate, when what we asserted instead was that the death certificate was fake, not that he had faked it. Were you to read The Times story, however, it would appear that we committed the stronger offense, which makes for more…

From Putin and Ukraine to Trump and Russiagate. He just wrote “Anti-Trump Frenzy Threatens to End Superpower Diplomacy” for The Nation:”Why the frenzy now?
