You have to admit that Hillary Clinton hosting a Future of Diplomacy symposium is darkly hilarious. These people don't really have many moves, do they?

'Future of Diplomacy' symposium?

I think you will find, Riff, that Clinton could easily be the leader of the team arguing against any Future in Diplomacy using the US destruction of Libya as the theme for the symposium.

I am also sure that within the audience we will find whatever remaining for the neocons who promoted the Iraq War, and a guest speaker could be a previous Vice President or senior ex-public servant who could talk on how to fool the UN that a country has WMD’s, as an example.

The symposium team could be sponsored by AIPAC but the major funding would come from Israel, as the controller of both houses of US government but donated through various Casino owners in Las Vegas, together with sponsorship for any questionable potential second-time-around contender for high office from BlackRock, Vanguard Pfizer and the generosity of Bill Gates.

It will probably get its media coverage from the New York Times, the so-called "newspaper of record”, the word "record “ in this case though referring to the record number of shares held by BlackRock and Vanguard in the New York Times.

So it could be a great function. Diplomacy, who needs it. Was it used in Libya?

My word, you should be flattered. You are Hillary Clinton repellent without the spray can. This drone Kelly has obviously been too close to the queen of warmongers, who just this morning was invited to write a column praising no-group-of-dead-children-too-large unmitigated warmonger, Madeleine Albright. Made me quite digestively queasy shall we say. Kelly's brain was clearly affected by the physical and psychological proximity to his queen, what I'd expect to be a presence as corrosive as nitric acid. With a theatrical smile of course.

Let us hope for the sake of truth and in support of the good people who need to know there is a Caitlin Johnstone on the web telling it how it is, (not restructured to suit the current political climate) that Substack, the platform used by Caitlin, can survive the pressures that must be applied to such organisations by the criminal establishment, as it has become in 2022.

Hang in there, Caitlin and don't let the bastards grind you down. You're much more than an awesome and respected writer to us.

You've established a standard.

I have reposted her material because I have been pushing back on the insanity, and I went from 1300 followers to 183 during these last three weeks. And those were mostly left wing Bernie Sanders supporters.

If it’s words of truth they fear, their reign is based on mountains of lies.

I agree...you should feel flattered! Obviously you're getting their attention and under their skin. Screw 'em, and keep up the good work!

Sickening. Of course the war was provoked for regime change. What voters were consulted to harass a nuclear power? No one? Of course not!

Caitlin, this means you are doing everything right.

These people DO NOT have control of the narrative anymore.

The only way our Western civilization does get preserved is if people do have a serious awakening and finally feel confident enough to walk away from the narrative matrix. You’re helping people do that in a fun and original way, and the evil Borg Cube hates that. It’s actually what threatens them most.

Thanks for always speaking up. Keep it up.

Of course he doesn't say "follow the money" when it comes to the leaders of the tribe that he belongs to. That's the way the leaders and mid level chieftains in his tribe operate --- accuse or incinuate that those who are critical of the party line -- are guilty of what the tribe actually does a gazillion times over. It is the very height of hypocrisy and Machiavelian 'the ends justifies the means' type moral and ethical bankruptcy.

Sluggo slime trails ALWAYS lead back to K, J & C Street, Madison Ave or Hollywood? Slime's slippy & sticky all over Manhattan right now as these critters slither out Long Island & skedaddle back upstate to "vacation cottages" to live with our COVID deaths, AGAIN?

The ultimate projection case. That's how they do things - only when they get paid. And if they are it doesn't matter what they say. Their convictions and morals are measured in dollars.

I can't shake the feeling that it's a frat house & sorority running our government. Just when I think it can't get more adolescent... It would be almost funny if it weren't deadly serious.

It's not even adolescent, it's straight up infantile. Since the population is sufficiently dumbed down to stay at that level it accepts the treatment readily. There are no longer adults out there.

I thought about using the word infantile, but then felt infants had more sense. Yes, it's totally true there's a complete absence of adult supervision. Egos run amuck.

everyone who knows Ian Kelly should cancel him and his entire spawns, and boycott everyone and everything associated with Ian kelly.

When you startle vermin, they will often attack, even when there is no chance of them getting away with it.

You are directly over the target, or they wouldn't be so knee-jerk reactionary to you.

Death by one thousand cuts, keep on cutting.

Even if they don't bleed out fast, they'll likely get a nasty infection in one or more of those openings made. :-)

Disgusting. Billary showcases everything that is wrong with American interventionism, and classism. Get out of my country, already, out of "my" government--all of you!
