 David DeGerolamo has some thoughts about the 'debate';

I want to talk about the debate last night. I will let others pontificate concerning the moderators or who won. My point is that the American people lost. A debate by definition is to bring clarity concerning the issues that impact people’s lives, future and security.

Consider:

Donald Trump was asked if he wanted Ukraine to win this war? Muir should have asked him if he still beats his wife. There is no way to answer that question without losing. I am not running for office so I can speak the truth. I do not want Ukraine to win the war but this is a moot point since they lost the war already. The taxpayers have also lost the war as more money was laundered to Zelensky and his lackey oligarchs. The Ukrainian people lost an entire generation of men. As we all know, Russia will not lose the war. Trump could have done a better job but the truth once again is that Russia has and will use tactical nuclear weapons against the West.

Which brings me to my next point. We provoked Russia. Anyone who would do a cursory search on the Maidan Revolution, Victoria Nuland, the Ukrainian attacks on the Donbass for eight plus years and the Biden Crime Family money laundering would be cheering for Russia. But this is just another diversion to make us pick sides to divide us. Does anyone remember this quote:........more............

 larry johnson has been banned by youtube;

Well, the thought police came for me today and deleted my You Tube channel. I logged on and all of my content disappeared. POOF!! My crime? HATE SPEECH? No specifics. Just the general charge of being a hater. I think the only thing or group of people I hate are the folks running Google/YouTube. Yeah, I hate them. Actually, not them personally. I hate what they do.

I suspect there was an organized effort to submit several complaints to get me shut down. I am sure it must have been either the Russians or the Palestinians or the Iranians. Could not have been the Zionists or the US Department of Just-Us. They’re my chums.

Fortunately, all of my videos of recent vintage are posted at my Bitchute channel. Please subscribe there..........https://sonar21.com/my-youtube-channel-deleted-for-hate-speech/

 larry johnson with lots of developments including his being banned, blocked and beat up by google/youtube;

Before I delve into the substance of the day, one more comment about the banning of my You Tube channel, (https://www.youtube.com/@former_CIA_larryjohnson). In a reasonably free country, one should be presented with charges before a punishment is enacted. Not so with Google. They are fascists, in the purest sense of the word. I stand accused of “hate speech.” The cowards at YouTube refuse to identify the “hateful content.” So, going forward, I will try to limit the use and links to YouTube. Remains to be seen if the people who interview me, such as Ania K and Stephen Gardner, will be punished for allowing me to speak.

I will continue to post at Counter Currents. Fortunately, that channel is backed up on Bitchute. I will strive to use Bitchute exclusively and request that you subscribe to that channel. I had 10,000+ subscribers on YouTube. C’est la vie. I wonder if Google can be sued as part of a class action lawsuit by accusing me, and others, of hate speech for the crime of simply stating objective truth, e.g., there is a strong neo-Nazi contingent in Ukraine.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Scott Ritter and I did a roundtable with our mutual friend, Ania K, today. We discussed the continued vilification of Vladimir Putin by the US political class, the war in Ukraine and the genocide in Palestine..........more..........

the empire is getting caught in its own tarbaby; 

Are Washington’s Voting Rights on the UN Security Council at Risk? “…a party to a dispute shall abstain from voting.”

The main obstacle to a ceasefire in Gaza is not Israel or Hamas. It’s the United States. Here’s what you need to know: The Security Council approved the Biden-authored ceasefire deal on June 10, 2024. (Three months ago) US diplomats assured the other members of the Security Council that Israel supported the agreement. That claim turned out to be false. Israel does not back the deal and refuses to implement its provisions. Even so, the so-called Biden Plan passed the Council in the form of Resolution 2735. Here’s a summary of the agreement:

By resolution 2735 … the 15-member organ noted that the implementation of this proposal would enable the following outcomes to spread over three phases, the first of which would include an immediate, full and complete ceasefire with the release of hostages; the return of the remains of some hostages who have been killed; the exchange of Palestinian prisoners; withdrawal of Israeli forces from the populated areas in Gaza; the return of Palestinian civilians to their homes; and the safe and effective distribution of humanitarian assistance at scale throughout Gaza. Adopting Resolution 273 5, United Nations

There’s no ambiguity here, the Council’s demands are clear. Both parties to the conflict are required to implement the provisions of the resolution that are “binding” under international law.

Hamas has agreed to comply with resolution 2735 while Israel has refused. In short, the United States and Hamas are on the same side of the ceasefire issue.

In order to confuse the public about Israel’s refusal, the Biden administration has continued to oversee negotiations in Cairo and Doha (with Israel, Egypt, Qatar and the US) to create the impression that negotiations are ongoing. But they’re not ongoing. This is a farce that is being used to conceal Israel’s rejection of the UN-backed ceasefire. The US is an accomplice in that deception.

Presently, the public is convinced that if Israel and Hamas could hammer out a compromise on the Philedephi corridor, then a settlement would be possible. But this too is misleading because the ceasefire resolution has already been thoroughly debated and approved by the Council. Besides, the Philedephi corridor appears nowhere in the text of resolution 2735 which makes it a moot point. Russia’s envoy to the UN Security Council summed it up like this last week:.........more........

 the mockingbird media revealed itself 'biggly' during the 'debate';

The real losers of the first debate between former president Donald Trump and vice president Kamala Harris were the American people.

ABC News moderators, David Muir and Linsey Davis, violated one of the most sacred commandments of journalism: they allowed their personal feelings toward Trump to interfere with their roles as journalists who, unless writing an editorial like this one, are tasked with pursuing the truth through impartiality.

They were not impartial, as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was quick to point out.

“Unfortunately, we had moderators who were clearly biased, who were constantly fact checking Donald Trump,” Kennedy told Newsmax. Kennedy further noted that the moderators “simply sat on the sidelines” while Kamala ignored vital questions.

Kennedy knows a lot about media bias. As The Kennedy Beacon has written, his run for the White House was incessantly hampered by journalists denying him air time, free speech, and the chance to defend himself against an onslaught of DNC-planted hit pieces. Early in the election cycle, ABC News itself did not trust the American people to form an opinion of the candidate based on what he said on air, instead interrupting his interview by commenting on its substance – much as Muir and Davis did with Trump.

Following the debate, former Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy similarly stated, “It was a poor performance by the moderators,” adding that the event was a “three-on-one debate.”

Last night’s debate was a real-time demonstration of how the media can create a politics of division. Division is not created by a public where there is broad consensus on the major issues of the day – ranging from the economy and jobs, to immigration and crime. Division is not even created by political candidates themselves. Division is created by a biased, dishonest and partisan media. Last night’s debate was historic because we all got to witness how this is accomplished in real time.........more........

 seems like a case of the pot calling the kettle black;

As I have written in my last two blog posts (here and here), the U.S. government is prosecuting members of a small political group named the African People’s Socialist Party and its related “Uhuru” movement. The trial is taking place in U.S. District Court in Tampa. The group has been advocating socialism and opposing U.S. imperialism for around 50 years. The feds are prosecuting them as part of their anti-Russia crusade that U.S. officials have been waging since even before the end of World War II. Specifically, the defendants are being prosecuted for failing to register themselves as agents of the Russian government and “sowing discord and conflict” within American voters, especially by opposing the U.S. government’s foreign policy of interventionism, including in Ukraine.

On Day 3 of the trial last week, the feds presented an “expert witness” to establish Russia’s history of disinformation. That’s rich, given that the U.S. government has long been one of the leaders of disinformation.

How about that 20-year war that the national-security establishment waged in Afghanistan? Most everyone now acknowledges that U.S. officials were lying about about the war during the entire time they were waging it. See this article from the Intercept entitled “A War’s Epitaph,” whose subtitle is “For Two Decades, Americans Told One Lie After Another About What They Were Doing in Afghanistan.”

And what about those infamous WMDs in Iraq? They were used to initiate a vicious, deadly, and destructive war that killed, injured, incarcerated, and tortured tens of thousands of Iraqi people and destroyed their entire country. How’s that for a good example of U.S. disinformation?

In fact, let’s not forget the propaganda that was emanating from U.S. officials after the 9/11 attacks — that the terrorists attacked America because of hatred for our “freedom and values.” More disinformation. Assuming that the attacks were not an “inside job,” the motivation was retaliatory anger over the continuous killing spree that was being inflicted on the Iraqi people with the brutal U.S. sanctions, which succeeded in killing countless Iraqi children.........more.......
