Excellent analysis here. Consistency is not required when you control the media and your citizens are mostly unthinking zombies.

Excellent indeed.

Perhaps one of the most profound statements since the US levered Ukraine on to a path of no return was the one mentioned today by Caitlin on Adam Schiff.....

"the US aids Ukraine and her people so that we can fight Russia over there and we don't have to fight Russia here."

Just think on it for a moment. Right now, the world has to deal with one feeble US President. He is the spokesman, the (apparent) decision-maker along with the weapons makers and the BlackRock / Vanguards and his Israeli policy director, Netanyahu, (through both houses of government.) That is the way it is.

He can handle that as he has a tribe of Israeli stooges called Neocons to do all the heavy work. BUT.....

.....instead, if he had all the US people living on the east coast of the USA mainland, pivoting around New York city, with mounting concerns as to their safety as a pressure group, all of a sudden he has to explain to these new short term 'policy makers' why they could all be dead if the Chinese and Russian submarines, nuclear-powered and nuclear-armed, decided to sit off the coast as an equalising factor, something like the NATO puppets surrounding Russia. They may only get one to two missiles into the air but what a wonderful target the city of New York would make. Spectacular!

Puts a different slant on the ball game. No proxy available there....just the voters, all of a sudden with lots of horsepower screaming "save me, Mr. President". The January so-called Trump attempt at a coup would would look like a 5 year olds kindergarten party by comparison.

As a finale, can anyone think of a better way to even out the cards, to bring the US back into the real world of living together with others, to kill off, once and for all, their arrogant desire for total power at any price and to force them through voter awareness and action, perhaps for the first time since WWII, into understanding that a vote for a good man to represent them in government is what the writing of the Constitution was all about, so long ago. If it takes a short term scary chapter in their lives to make that one point, along with giving Israel's control of both houses (and the puppet politicians) the cold shoulder forever, just to get your own government back in the hands of the majority of people of the USA……. come on, Russia and China.....show the people of the USA that they could have their wonderful country back in their own hands, 858 billion defence dollars giving free education, health on the free list in a country eventually respected and admired by the world.

Not too much to ask, is it? Just a couple of submarines?

An important point that I had overlooked in the above comment was that the US knows better than anyone else that their 1945 attack, unnecessary as it was at that time, resulted in a very swift end to World War II following the atomic bomb attacks on BOTH Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

The presence of submarines capable of mounting a similar attack would immediate end this proxy Ukraine war that the US is trying to develop into a major war to eliminate Russia, and then, when time allows, China as well.

The primary objectives of the 2022 USA, sadly.

This is the thinking of the warmongers and their backers. They have been supported by a majority of politicians in both houses, in so many cases occupying positions of power through the total sponsorship by corrupting foreign controlled organisations, known to all, tolerated by the media and accepted by the people as the new norm,. They engage in their corrupt activities while hiding under the banner of fighting Anti-Semitism propaganda, dining out on the 'holocaust' and as a result, controlling a once great democratic country. Democratic no more. Democrat now a dirty word.

Until this recently expanded, 50 years in the making 'non-American' activity is decreed as illegal, it will continue and expand. They "own" America as everyone knows and getting stronger every day. America to them being an easily controlled target. Something of a joke.

Proof. See your local representative at the next AIPAC meeting following a joint house welcome for Netanyahu, with the obligatory standing ovations, of course. They will need to be there just to get elected.

It is hard now to see the need that the US thought existed during the 1950’s McCarthy era during the failed investigations into “Communism”. Yet today, we tolerate the bribery and corruption from Israel and its US-based politically active Neocons in 2022, aided and abetted by the BlackRocks, Vanguards and the militarists, currently creaming off billions of taxpayer dollars weekly in a proxy war for US hegemony.

Such organisations are the current danger, behind all the dangers in the world today.

"If it weren't for the imperial spin machine, nobody would believe the US just coincidentally stumbled its way into a lucky proxy war that happens to help it advance its agendas of global domination."

Alas, too many are falling for that spin. An old school friend of mine--with a PhD, no less--posted online today how much he admired Zelensky's performance in front of Congress and ended his post with "Slava ukraini!!" When you can trick well-educated people into falling for this "convenient war" and make them put their morality aside long enough to think war is preferable over peace, then you know the bastards in the Ministry of Truth are doing their job well.

My brother has a PhD and buys everything Biden and the democrats say. Education means nothing if all you tune into is the mainstream media, especially if you tune into MSNBC like my brother. Many are supporting Biden and don't see through his agenda, a neocon agenda, especially since the democrats spent 4 years vilifying and negating Trump with the lies of Russia-gate, which prepared many in America to easily, and unthinkingly lend their support to the democrat's anti-Russia stance. Not to say the Republicans are not also culpable.

It may well be that the education system in the West has both succeeded and failed simultaneously. Succeeding in creating obedient subjects with no curiosity, closed mindedness, and overinflated egos. Great for "governing " fraudsters. Failed at instilling critical discernment skills, comprehending consequences, or grasping the simple math of opportunity costs. Terrible for literally everyone. A populace prone to being fomented by an incestuously small media celebrity edutainment ecosystem that describes everything according to the predetermined narrative regardless of truth or facts in furthering fascist (political/financial) interests which manifest as this very disturbing war, covid mania, etc. Just wondering if season 2 or 3 ends with the nuclear annihilation cliff hanger.

It has nothing to do with a degree or no degree. I have degrees and I didn't buy the lies of the democrats when they very obviously tried to remove Trump from office. They listen to MSNBC only, which is where he gets his stupidity.

There is no difference between the Democrats and the Republicans at the top of the pyramid and the difference at the mid to bottom is sophmoronic. The proof of any weak through line thinking is always in the pudding. We are all waking up to the truth that USA is the leader of the globalist agenda. We are the best at playing the sides against the middle. Puppeteers extraordinaire. I for one am sickened by my guvs behavior... and now the corporations and churches too. WHO's fault is all this? We all permit all the atrocities in the name of convenience and fear.

I woke up to what you call a globalist agenda, and I call a neocon one, a couple of decades ago. It explains our many middle eastern wars, and the one that brought us to the brink of what may become a nuclear one with Russia,. It was Obama who supported a Nazi driven coup in Ukraine which will ultimately result in hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian deaths, and it could be worse since their is always the possibility that it could go nuclear. I don't much like our politicians since few are honest, and even those who are must find it hard to stay that way since it is the corporate world that will ultimately get to own them. Term limits would really help and you could get rid of old SOB'S like McConnell, and Pelosi. She was confronted today by someone with some decency that was upset by the passage of the huge spending bill even though most never read it. What did that old, false tooth, skinny wonder say, well, she brought up January 6. Too bad those that pushed the lie of Russia-gate were never held accountable for there under handed BS.

Education is indoctrination we happen to like. The difference is purely emotional.

The professional-managerial class, styling themselves as priests, undertakes a historical mission to create what Barbara Ehrenreich described as a "'rational', reproducible social order". I don't think they're being deceived inadvertently. I think they're developing the mythological lore and creating the material conditions to become a class for themselves. Unless we daamge their ability to do so, and soon.

what ever happened to Kushner signing away the Western Sahara to Morocco? (It was all fake, international relations is full of "MOU" signings that are non-binding non-enforceable, but it doesn't take away from the fact that the US did sign such a paper!). More shysterism.

The US have given billions to Zelensky, a neo-Nazi proxy leader in Ukraine to defeat Russia, but that's not likely to be the case. 'Joke' Biden is giving away all this money to support Ukraine when it could be used to fix many problems in the US, like his insane 'open border' policies and cooperation with the Chinese communists to bring down the US as a nation. None of this is advancing US interests, particularly a nuclear war with Russia over Ukraine (that means Armageddon!). I am amazed to say Putin and the Russians are willing to agree to peace talks but the stubborn US is not. that serves no one's interests!

When considering the warmonger claims, it's usually instructive to conclude the exact opposite is the reality. Example:

"Putin's war was a massive blunder that has strengthened the US global position, degrading Russian capabilities (which frees up resources for other threats) and strengthening our alliances."

The massive blunder was the US and NATO. Russia and China are consolidating the multipolar challenge to US global hegemony. It is accelerating the realization of an alternative currency to the US dollar. The "freed up resources" are being diverted to an even more catastrophic war in the Pacific. The US alliance with Europe and the EU are fracturing over obvious US greed, profit seeking in gas LNG exports, and destruction of the European industrial base. International cooperation required to address climate chaos has collapsed, accelerating the climate catastrophe. Food and fertilizer and energy prices are destroying the US and EU economy and driving inflation. This is the Rubicon for US Empire.

"It is in America's interests to help Ukraine defeat one of our most powerful foes," tweeted The Atlantic's David French.

Just once I'd like to see anyone in the media ask just how Russia came to be our enemy. I remember Putin and the second Bush off-roading around his Texas ranch. Then later Shrub mentioned that he wanted Ukraine and Georgia into NATO, and things chilled. In 2014, the US supported the overthrow of the Ukrainian government spearheaded by virulently anti-Russian ideologues with a lineage that traced back to the Nazi collaborators of WW2, as part of a larger chess game to tear down Russia. If you want a person or a country to be your enemy, it's easy. All you have to do is treat them like an enemy, and there you go, your wish is fulfilled.

Love the magnanimous “concession” that the Nordstream sabotage might not have been Russia. Who does that leave? It might not have been Lesotho either. The video of Biden saying he was going to destroy it was on Faux last night. When you lie as a matter of course it does get challenging to keep the storyline straight.

While I agree with you Caitlin, it does appear that fewer and fewer people are listening to what you have to say. I have no idea why that might be.

I'm just glad I'm so old it won't much matter to me.

I'm also sad that all the movies like 1984 or whatever "collapse" show you want to reference are all coming true at the same time.

I mourn the extinction of Humanity. Yet I see that is what humanity really seems to want.

Nazi in Ukraine are used the same way as BLM in the US - both groups are used to target the scumbags' two major opposition groups: white conservatives in the US and Russians. Both BLM and Nazis are allowed to commit any crimes against the targeted groups.

Their delusional views about the war also includes how its in America’s best interests.

War is a destructor of wealth plain and simple, inflationary., and unimaginative in creating anything worthwhile for humanity except improved ways of killing each other.

They parade this myth about War and enjoy their delusions as a valuable and necessary drug for their minds.

Thank you Caitlin. It seems you will have a very long list of topics during End Stage Capitalism.

I still think the number one reason this proxy war on Russia was not about ukraine as much as it was

about destroying Europe's industrial and financial business. Every depression destroys value to be purchased for 10% or less of value. To me this make sense over anything patriotic or even military hardware sales, the sales are a bonus. Getting to the core of evil deeds is not always easy, with so many motives.

The obvious strategy of the US is to force Europe to purchase LNG from the U.S. at 4 to 10 times the cost of cheap Russian pipeline gas, which will drive European industries either into bankruptcy or to relocate to North America. Also, EU self-imposed environmental rules against using petrochemical fertilizers will bankrupt European farmers and make Europe dependent on North American agriculture. If those things happen, that would likely trigger a mass exodus of educated Europeans to North America, which will create a European brain drain. The end result will be a Second European Dark Age.

On the other hand, what if U.S. strategic plans go sideways (as they almost always do) and the Europeans turn on their imperial masters? What if Germany and Russia repair the Nordstream pipelines and resume their energy partnership and European businesses stay put? What if NATO—already proven to be a dysfunctional paper tiger being defeated by a “gas station masquerading as a country”—disintegrates? What if more (or all) countries exit the EU and reassert their national sovereignty?

So, while EU leaders are now obviously imperial stooges, that can change overnight as cold and hunger drive the the European working class into the streets.

While it is hard to underestimate the subservience of the sheeple—whether European or otherwise—there is something about watching your kids go hungry that just might, at last, wake up the Europeans.

A few thoughts that, to my mind, seem obvious.

1. The invasion was not unprovoked. One wouldn’t need more than 60 seconds to explain that point.

2. Zelensky was referencing “peace talks” after four weeks of the war. It didn’t happen and I can only assume outside pressure.

3. Nord stream pipeline blown up resulting in Europe being desperately needy. No more talk of Putin turning the tap, on or off. I live in Germany and that was a constant reference.

4. America is now the largest supplier, to Europe (UK included) of LPG.

5. C. Rice talked 8 years ago, with disdain, of the pipeline and mentioned the possible need of tougher sanctions.

Trump disliked the idea of so much business going Russia’s way (which shows Dems & Rep on the same page with this) (which shows the US empire is the existing political paradigm and differences between R & D are ideological not geo political)

Biden literally threatened to stop the pipeline in front of camera.

6. The recent windfall in the energy supply business to Europe will cause the $’s given in military aid to Ukraine to seem insignificant in the short or long term.

7. No one in the Biden admin was appalled at this war. It was an early Xmas present. An opportunity to put something right which had troubled them for a long while.

8. Wouldn’t it be wiser to get along with Russia rather than make them the eternal foe.

I'm a lifelong conservative, and I am absolutely disgusted by Cocaine Mitch (it's a nickname; you can look up why if you care) and Senator Gram-nasty, and Eyepatch McCain (Dan Crenshaw). The first two are warmongers, vote for every inflationary bill they can, change sides with the wind, and are are greasy, slimy, slick liars. If we had a functioning democracy, the first two would be out of office, and Crenshaw would not have been incentivized to be a warmonger, either.

But we don't have a democracy. See Whitney Webb's books, "One Nation Under Blackmail."

Btw, if you hate me for being a conservative, I hope you understand that I will make common cause with anyone who wants to end the war in Ukraine, and the fake U.S. democracy's needless warmongering provocation of it.

God bless you.
