For those who don’t know, I publish a print version of my work once a month called JOHNSTONE magazine. The new edition is called “Biden’s Bloodlust”, and is now available to order in print or download in pay-what-you-want digital. As November gets closer and the Biden administration gets more murderous and tyrannical by the day, liberal spinmeisters are falling all over themselves to portray the president as some kind of passive witness to the atrocities we’re witnessing in Gaza and the authoritarian suppression of dissent we’re seeing in the US. No no, he’s completely powerless to stop the government that’s completely dependent on US military support from conducting a military operation. No no, he’s completely powerless to stop the violent police crackdowns he’s openly supporting and encouraging on protesters against his genocide.
I have just heard the Chris Hedges Report has been shut down by its sponsor The Real News under pressure from its donor.
This intensifies the war for the freedom of speech and we all must respond by supporting the independent media more than ever.
It has always amazed me how the independent media does such a great job on shoe string budgets constantly struggling with fund raising to get the job done. Many of the best are on Substack. If I had surplus funds it would be pouring out to the sources I use to write my own blog.
We must also go to the global journalists like Pepe Escabar, George Galloway, Alistair Crooke and so many others. As the despicable MSM dies a dynamic new global media network is emerging.
It is only a matter of time before Stackstack, like Tic Toc, is targeted.
We must more than ever support the journalists worldwide willing to speak the truth, Caitlin is one of them.
There is no doubt this is a part of that ‘smoke rising from the bottomless pit’ as spoken of in the Revelations (NT Bible).
Oppression, coercion, extortion — lawfare to the point of total extermination of all opposition, ‘protected’ by 1st Amendment rights, or not as designated ‘misinformation.’
Rights, and Truth, and legitimate debate over language and narrative defining the free exchange of ideas is really —
TOO MUCH FOR THEM.
They must crush all dissent, difference, digression from that long winding path they call their ‘march’ through our institutions, our society, our way of life. They have tasted the wine of their newfound ‘wrath’ with western civilization, become drunk w the power and enabling Treasury, open to them.
Damn the will of the people. There was once a teetering balance in the congressional budget, (long ago), but the 4th Branch, the Bureaucracy moved the fulcrum of that balance to itself. Away from Congress, and depending on the Executive, to the pleasure of the President. So now —What a crock! What a bloody crock!
Given the seditious ongoing coup against Americans, ‘We the People’, now disparaged as ‘White Nationalists’, or worse, ‘Christian Nationalists’, the only thing almost indescribably worse ( in their twisted ideology) is that amorphous ‘populism’ denying the Leftist version of democracy, meaning ‘the tyranny of pure, mob majority — mass psychosis.
It’s the classic example of mob mentality overwhelming an orderly republican representative government, one w actual power to effect law and order, benefits to all as opposed to the few.
An Empire drunk w its own power and importance to the Elite and their bought plantation slaves has presumed upon the legitimacy of the Constitutional Republic, and is now crashing miserably into a demise too swift and terrible to imagine. How long have you heard the same refrain?
Great Reset - Fundamental Change - New World Order - Build back Better?
Through this 4th Branch, now effecting a 4th turning: they have tasted what they believe to be the wine of their presumptive victory, the total collapse of a Constitutional system they declare to be ‘racist’, systemically racist, incorrigible, beyond redemption (by any civil measure), and essentially down for burial, totally dead or barely alive.
BTW — pure, direct, doctrinaire Leninist, Maoist, Marxist communist propaganda, tailored for the American people. Any doubts? Just take a look back at the mandates, the censorship, the lawfare, the de-humanizing of political opponents (especially DJT), the denial of basic rights ( based on specious and vicious allegations) to normal Americans, J6 to ongoing! — And there is no resolution because there is no transparency, or balance, or humanity in the prosecution of the ‘designated villains’! — There is more humanity shown on an order of magnitude in any of the protests currently perpetrated by professional (paid) agitators than at the worst moments of the confrontations initiated by the professional agitators instigating at the Capitol on J6. (Witness the unrestrained, brutal beating of demonstrators, and particularly one who was already down, and dying), Over and over it has been overwhelmingly clear that the citizens who showed up as a statement in lawful demonstration of their Constitutional right to protest, secured by permit, were abused with unprofessional and unlawful discharge of weapons designed to disperse and neutralize (kill) people who would be otherwise arrested and booked only if they refused to obey the orders of the Capitol Police. Key fact: it is well known that the organization and preparation for the extent and degree of the demonstration explicitly permitted was dereliction of duty by design, purposely leading to chaos and violence against Trump supporters.
Still doubting? Take one moment of silence to consider the threat that Ashley Babbitt manifested to Ofc. M Byrd, while he took more than a moment to assess her circumstances. In any other than Pelosi’s vicious universe, he would be doing time for pure d murder. MURDER! No one that simple, stupid, and scary should EVER wear a badge, much less have a weapon except for the purpose of ‘bearing arms against an oppressive state’, as provided in the originally great Constitution. ( If you think this might be an over dramatized version of events — check out how many other law enforcement personnel were in the immediate area of the ‘murder.’
BTW: Does it bother you at all to realize that according to the certified report of the Coroner, George Floyd died from fentanyl poisoning, NOT from the restraining actions of Ofc Derek Chauvin? Follow-up: Floyd’s death led to his family being awarded well over $20million, and Chauvin sentenced to a lifetime in prison, where he is now serving a second lifetime after surviving an assassination attempt.
So at this point, Floyd’s family is up over $20 million for an overdose; Chauvin and Babbitt’s families down $1000’s for a clean veteran being willfully shot by a scary cop. Not to speak of the billions lost to commerce, and the economy, in the summer of F—ing love, mostly peaceful . . .
Only in the DNC/Soros sponsored America.
So yeah. For sure. Biden deserves the cover of a tyrant licking a frosted bloody cone — billions in blood and treasure make it a picture of reality. What a loser. Full 🛑
"Biden has always been a murderous swamp monster. That’s the only reason he got the job," writes Johnstone. This can be backed up by how Biden said if Israel as an imperial outpost didn't exist it would have to be invented
Yeah love the Biden painting with the toddler President eating an ice cream-cone while commenting on a cease-fire. This is one of my favorite all time Genocide Joe images….
So begins (in the US) eight days of Holocaust Remembrance.
There are clearly those that have learned from the Holocaust and pour into the streets to protest the
ongoing Genocide.
There are others that have learned a different lesson and have learned how to turn their back on Genocide. These can be heard identifying themselves by their phony and misdirected use of The Slur of "antisemitism". They hypocritically use The Slur to try and intimidate and silence those that have actually learned the right and decent lesson of the Holocaust.
So begins (in the US) eight days of Holocaust Remembrance.
They are going to 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝘂𝗽 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘁 for the next several days and will use every angle of The Slur
There must be an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Pope Francis has said what is needed, now he must do what is needed by going to Gaza and standing for peace, justice and freedom.
Let us also support UNRWA. If our governments won’t act in accordance with humanity, then we will. https://www.unrwausa.org/donate Let us do it to honor Aaron Bushnell, or in memory of Hind Rajab.
Let us call for a No Fly-Zone over Gaza!
These are a few small things we can do. If we can do more, let us do more.
Members of the Biden administration should be made to consider 18 U.S. Code § 1091 the law that brought the genocide convention into US law. Put this statute in their faces, up front and center at every protest at every meeting, press conference, briefing, and trips home and abroad.
They may feel they are immune now, but let's get them considering what is possible when they leave office, given they have set the precedent of charging former presidents. They should have visions of prison all the days of their lives.
The propagandists in the Mainstream Media need to be encouraged to think about their culpability as well.
Yes. Also I keep wondering why I never hear anyone talk about impeaching Biden for flagrant and illegal participation in genocide, by sending weapons. It's reasonable to assume Congress is nothing but tools of empire, who would never impeach a loyal empire gore-licker, unless his name was Trump. Still, "impeach Biden" should fit on a protest sign. Highlight the hypocrisy of ignoring major Biden crimes, while prosecuting minor or imaginary Trump crimes.
If the US Senate passes bill H.R. 6090, which makes it a criminal offense to express "antisemitism" as defined by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance, nearly every word written on this platform could be deemed a violation in the US, including criticisms of Israeli policy. The bill has already passed the House of Representatives by a 320 to 91 vote. Flagrantly unconstitutional, it will no doubt be struck down by the US Supreme Court at some point if passed, which looks likely.
However meanwhile, I am wondering how its passage would affect platforms like this. Will Caitlin's website be blocked for American viewers? Will American commenters be subject to prosecution? What about other platforms critical of Israel, especially those based in the US, like Mike Adams' Natural News? I notice Al Jazeera has been kicked out of Israel as of today and all of its operations there confiscated. Will we Americans cease to have any news of Gaza at all?
Not only has Joe Biden always been a jerk, but he's always been a right-wing jerk. He took credit for the 1994 crime bill that put an order of magnitude more black men in prison. He took credit for the Patriot Act, in which we lost habeas corpus (and never got it back).
Back when Old White Joe was elected -- before I abandoned social media in disgust -- I posted something to the effect, "I'm so glad we have a right-wing Democrat in office instead of a right-wing Republican." Some AWFL screeched at me, something about queer and trans rights because Orange Man Bad. I didn't know what to say to that... so I said something like, "I wonder how many victims of our wars were gay or trans?"
It still amazes me that some who consider themselves "liberal" and "empathic" care more about the domestic culture war than mass murder.
People should take the time to study who are the people who run the private equity firms that have strip mined business and infrastructure the United States. Then they will know who is largely responsible for country’s rapid decline over the past fifty years. Study where they have put the money and what they support. They know people are beginning to do that and are making laws to protect themselves. Trump is no saviour, he was surrounded by them. They are his people too.
Maybe you're going a little bit too hard on Biden; after all he's only human isn't he? It's not his fault that he was born that way is it? I used to hear it all the time that one's sexual preferences weren't their fault, so how can we go around blaming other people just because their preferences include killing unarmed civilians? I don't make it a preference to go around all day killing dogs, but I did have to injure one once because it left toward my head, how an arrow could possibly have stopped it mid air just inches from my face I have no idea, but humans it seems have something like rabies at pandemic proportions.

You are so right
Now Al Jazeera in Israel!
Jenny, have you heard this? It's American Radio by Current Affairs magazine - hilarious!
https://youtu.be/4bRZ6xdS6tE
Jimmy Dore discusses that along with ways to do it his way offering help and advice too: https://rumble.com/v4t5yn3-chris-hedgess-show-shut-down-by-real-news-network.html
Thanks, to know Jimmy Dore is to love him!
He should be let know.

"Passive witness" my eye!
He will be sucking on more gore soon as the USA/SA/UK start bombing the shit out of Yemen which I believe is about to happen.
But the brave Yemeni's will not back down.
Good picture Caitlin.

Hello Isaiah.
I agree with you.
All this 'mish-mash' rights of people was only the beginning. It was a 'testing' point in my opinion.
Public opinion was found lacking which urged on the Facist Govt.
The beginning of the decline in the US
1. The Govt. telling people what they can do and cannot do in their private lives. This has NOTHING to do with Govt.
2. The 'liberal" intelligentsia (DNC) deciding for YOU who will run for POTUS in the USA.
3. YOUR vote is meaningless. Has been for a long time.
4. Your propaganda machine for the last 80yrs or so.........dumbed down even the dumbest Americans.
5. Along comes Trump the 'catalyst' who is just a symptom of uneducated people.
6. IF you believe Trump has NO backing from moneyed elites you are sorely wrong.
7. What are you going to do in the event of a Civil War?
8. Instead of fighting the 'proverbial enemy' of the US. Russia/China why is it that all administrations will not work with them?
9. I read the other day that the USA will not import electric cars from China. WHY? They are cheap and will help with restoring the planet.
10. END OF THE USA. People in other countries have realised that making war is NOT the answer.
While the US prepares to bomb the shit out of Yemen the Chinese/Russians keep building their infrastructure.
FOR heavens sake America get a grip and get your moneyed elite out of office.
People should take the time to study who are the people who run the private equity firms that have strip mined business and infrastructure the United States. Then they will know who is largely responsible for country’s rapid decline over the past fifty years. Study where they have put the money and what they support. They know people are beginning to do that and are making laws to protect themselves. Trump is no saviour, he was surrounded by them. They are his people too.

Al Jazeera shut down in Israel..............no one to report further atrocities!
I saw it. This is a real loss. AlJazeera is my main source of factual information.
Al Jazeera has just been chucked out of Israel!
Perfectly in line with Israel being the most democratic state in the ME. If not the whole world.
Thank You Caitlin
