Sorry about the Mystery Religion around the “truth” about Jimmy Dore and Max Blumenthal. Great analysis as usual from Caitlin. It’s been very enlightening to see the leftist progressive try to rationalize inaction and perpetuation of the status quo.
Our western "global" (capitalist-royalist) ruling class is LOYAL, COMMITTED, ORGANISED, UNITED, DISCIPLINED, (unimaginably) WEALTHY AND POWERFUL, EDUCATED (well-conditioned), AMBITIOUS, SCHEMING, INNOVATIVE, SECRETIVE, MANIPULATIVE, EXPLOITATIVE, IMMORAL, RUTHLESSLY AGGRESSIVE, (murderously) RAPACIOUS, ARROGANT and RESILIENT (unsurprisingly - given their elitist heritage and limitless material resources).
They've been that way for millennia - every generation of them studying and furthering the documented historical efforts of their predecessors to widen their "sphere of influence" (to use a modern nicety) and to "watch their backs".
We, the so-called "people", have been "serving" them since the first "leading warrior" (and his sidekick, the witch-doctor / propagandist / thought controller) whipped us into submission 10,000 or 30,000 years ago. Some of us have also been rebelling against them - probably from the time they began whipping us.
The "class war" is as old as the hills. It has a history - a heritage. We too can study and further the documented historical efforts of our predecessors (to widen their "sphere of influence" and to "watch their backs"). Every generation thinks that it - and its problems - are unique, but they're not. It's all been said and done before - just at a different stage in the everchanging (material) development of civilisation.
Much as we need great people like Caitlin to penetrate capitalism's ideological bubble, we also need to read serious revolutionary classics in order to understand that, e.g. (if it wants to attract supporters) a revolution needs to have specified aims and workable plans and procedures for a "new society"; the army, police, and other agencies of physical coercion are MATERIAL forces that have to be "won over" - or overcome - before the ruling class will be prepared to negotiate (or forced to accept) any substantial changes to their systems. The struggle has many faces and facets (and there is always hope in the underground).
Along with the less prolific (lately) Helen B., Caitlin is the most compelling voice in RT's op-ed feed, which is comparable to Jimmy Dore being the go-to commenter of YouTube. In each case there's little reason to waste much time on lesser opiners. May both get the recognition they deserve, and may infamy come to their detractors. A lot of their progressiveism amounts to reiterations from the centrist sensibility of Bill Moyers and others who were perfectly normal before the right-shifting of post-Reagan life. Ultra-reactionary and Luddite (two separate things) describe the powers that be, not the voices of protest. Obviously.
With $4 trillion spent on medical treatments in the U.S. this year, and the poorest health outcomes in the industrialized world, it is more than twice as expensive as our military budget, including their socialized medicine. There's a lot of ways to keep us poor, besides divisions around which source to use. I like your prose poems.
Press TV was one of the rare journalist outfits that regularly interviewed Guy McPherson on abrupt climate change, and they did so objectively without disparaging him for the science he shared. OF COURSE the USA wants them shut down. The truth cannot be televised.
This has been the MOST important question all along. All this other stuff has just been noise. What Covid has done is expose our system for what it is, one based on predatory opportunism.
Once you understand that The Plan is to reduce the amount of families, it all makes sense. The past 40 years of making housing prices, cars, healthcare, college tuition, etc., out of reach, pushing transgenderism in schools and now this dangerously stupid attempt to play God with humanity's DNA, with the possibility of creating weakened placental walls (thus inducing more miscarriages) cannot be more apparent.
Pseudo-scientific atheism has arisen in the US and the goal is to rid the world of those who cultivate a spiritual connection (which EXPANDS consciousness and is the REAL evolution of the species). Why? Because they believe that it is non-evolutionary thinking, and everyone who they deem UNevolved must be removed from the planet. This is one of many disturbing examples of how they rationalize depopulation.
Rockefeller medicine has ignored obvious cures like O3, ozone therapy and proper nutrition. Petrochemical pharmaceuticals have yet to cure anything. A century of damage.
If people knew that the father of mass inoculations was a complete psychopath, we wouldn't be subjecting our children to 70+ vaccines or any of these new, experimental mRNA injectables.
I encourage everyone to watch this analysis of Jonas Salk's book from 1972, Survival of the Wisest, to see that the zealous ideology driving today's thrust into this technocratic nightmare should be exposed as the pseudo-scientific nonsense that it is.
True evolution is the infusing of spirit and science, of doing REAL scientific work that scientists are doing. Dr. Masaru Emoto left behind ground-breaking work on the proven effect of consciousness on water molecules!
Tesla, who patented the first ozone generator, said “The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.”
It could also just be that the real reason why they want to gene-edit the soul-belief out of us with their FunVax is that they don't want it interfering with their vaccine passport agenda to inject the world multiple times a year with whatever they choose just so we can live our digitally manipulated lives. There are current court cases against the vaccine program based on religious beliefs.
Below is a video of Dr. Stanley Plotkin, considered a leading authority on vaccinology, who only received ONE vaccine in his life, explaining matter-of-factly that it's okay to inject the average US child with over 70 vaccines during his/her life, filled with aborted fetal tissue, among many other harmful adjuvants.
I tried to send you $5 worth of bitcoin, via Bread Wallet, as a small thank you for your article. Bread Wallet didn't allow me to send the money because "Transaction fees are greater than the amount being sent". Transaction fees were between $9-$18, depending on the speed with which I wanted it sent. Are you able to explain how I can more conveniently send you a bitcoin payment?
Sorry Caitlin, but if you want credibility in an article then you need to learn and understand why quoting ultra reactionary Luddite hypocrites Max Blumenthal and Jimmy Dore is unacceptable.
Caitlin, you apparently don't understand that Max Blumenthal is to be condemned because of his tardy conversion on Syria and because his father, Sindney Blumenthal, is an advisor to Hillary Clinton. People are not allowed to learn and grow, and their current reporting, no matter how truthful on for example Venezuela or the need for the US to GTF out of Syria, must be condemned ad hominem based on their past mistakes.
I have no idea what you're writing about or why. My comment was a sarcastic response to MR HOWARD S MARKS's gratuitous attack on Max Bluenthal, Jimmy Dore and Caitlin's quotes of them. I have no idea why MR HOWARD S MARKS dislikes them, as he never really explained, so I explained to Caitlin why some people don't like Max. At one time, Max bought the imperial cool aid of the "evil Assad," but he changed his mind about Syria and has remained pretty consistent since then. We should not judge people for mistakes they made years ago and have learned from.
Not sure why you bring up Aaron Mate, other than the fact he once worked for DemocracyNow! when it was still anti-imperialist and remains personally loyal to Amy Goodman even though DemocracyNow! has adopted a more standard NPR/PBS liberal interventionist viewpoint with which he disagrees.
Fair enough. We can also mention Rania Khalek, another founder of Grayzone, who displays the right on one thing, blind to another syndrome. She understands MIC incentives but seems to think people with white lab coats are always honest. Then there's Abby Martin, who's been great on Latin America, but Middle East and Ukraine? Not so much. That doesn't mean Rania and Abby don't provide a lot of good, useful information. Nobody's perfect, including me. I promoted masks until I was informed of actual studies that showed they are ineffective. Always think critically and be open to new information. As Carl Schurz said, "When right, to keep right; when wrong, to set right."
I am not being ridiculous. You are being blind to their hypocrisy and ignorance especially Blumenthal. Instead of calling me a Cartoon Character try enquiring in to what regard I am saying it. I am speaking solid truth backed up by a solid case. They hang themselves by their own words and actions. I would be very willing to illustrate the issues but if I am going to be called a Cartoon Character just because you have failed to observe that conduct or are not bothered by what they do and do not care about it, is it really worth my time to go to effort just to be insulted ?
That is not the point. The point is the time effort to write an indepth response with links etc. Yes, for such effort I or anyone warrants respect not insult as courtesy. Notice you too are apparently blinded by the same con artists whom apparently I am forbidden to even insult in absentia. The sign of cult leaders to be sure. No curiosity for my reason or purpose instead you defend them blindly.
Gee, Howard. Why didn't you just say: "Member of the Oligarchy worship cult here and as per usual, I'll tell you what and what not are legitimate and appropriate ideas and sources? Also, I will employ any number of shaming and gaslighting techniques on you if you do not immediately comply with what I tell you is the correct way to think about things? All the while insulting your intelligence while claiming that it is you that is insulting my intelligence." That would at least take you out of Toon Town and into the realm of actual discussion.
Howard - if you understood anything about and the origins of the Luddites you would know it doesn't mean what you think. Ned Ludd was protesting the fact that when ever new technologies were implemented it translated to less jobs that paid much less too. Kinda sounds reasonable eh? Sounds exactly like what is happening NOW! Only brainless sheep think that it means hating all new technology. What good is tech if it only serves to make the rich richer and the poor poorer?
Then again, most new technology *is* suspect because it *does* primarily serve to make the rich richer... it usually abuses the Earth, speeds up our lives and takes autonomy out of our hands... one of the lies of our culture is that technology = good, recommend "In the Absence of the Sacred: The Failure of Technology and the Survival of the Indian Nations" by Jerry Mander (funny name, but great writer) for the downsides of technology that we rarely acknowledge in our society. Really great book, four parts: Questions We Should Have Asked About Technology, The Inevitable Direction of Megatechnology, Suppression of the Native Alternative, and World War Against the Indians.
Sorry for you, Howard, but if YOU want credibility in a comment, then you need to learn and understand why posting uncivil logical fallacy attacks is unacceptable.

Mr Mark's, your either with the people or with the elites, which i h is it?
Never mind your judgemental smears of others your clearly jealous of.
Another good one Caitlyn!

They are War criminal scum, they aren't as talented, smart, or powerful as you think. They are Nothing and we are everything.

HI Catilin, good work. How about posting a clearly labeled link for the peitition Jimmy and co-sponsors have started?

And the website for their party

Thank you.

Our main enemy at the moment is Mitch McConnell.
Don't try to use just one man as the scapegoat for all of our problems.
Our main enemy at all times is the Democratic-Republican Duopoly Party and their fascist, sociopathic oligarchy overlords.
He won because GW GOP Republicrat Amy was bankrolled to take out Booker, who would have won against Mitch.
Beautiful writing, Caitlin.
Tonya
Yeah. Spread the wealth. That will activate the grassroots.
Sorry Caitlin, but if you want credibility in an article then you need to learn and understand why quoting ultra reactionary Luddite hypocrites Max Blumenthal and Jimmy Dore is unacceptable.
Don't be a ridiculous cartoon character.

His partner, Aaron Mate is not. Maybe we need to talk about Gabor Mate?

Then I guess I am just adding to the sarcasm!

I do not care what some random stranger on the internet's beef is with Dore and Blumenthal. They do good work, and when they do I'll cite it. End of.
I guess not. It isn't worth it. You might be insulted, heaven forbid.
That is not the point. The point is the time effort to write an indepth response with links etc. Yes, for such effort I or anyone warrants respect not insult as courtesy. Notice you too are apparently blinded by the same con artists whom apparently I am forbidden to even insult in absentia. The sign of cult leaders to be sure. No curiosity for my reason or purpose instead you defend them blindly.
Maybe we all need to just go back to TYT for good honest journalism. Russiagate anyone??
So you write several replies, in which you refuse to include links to evidence supporting your claim. Why?
Enough. Your word salad is a waste of space
Gee, Howard. Why didn't you just say: "Member of the Oligarchy worship cult here and as per usual, I'll tell you what and what not are legitimate and appropriate ideas and sources?
