'Karl Rove snickers at the childish delusions of the “reality-based community,” and brags:

“We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors…and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.”

Creating new realities, legally or otherwise. They don't care!

One of the reasons the power structure has turned on journalists and photographers is because they witness and report their observations of the motivations underlying operations.

Photojournalist Philip Jones Griffiths foresaw a future of permanent automated war from his experiences in Vietnam. R.I.P. John Pilger and Philip Jones Griffiths

I still am a huge fan of Philip Jones Griffiths, whose book: Vietnam Inc had a huge influence on me as a teenager.

by the way, I traveled to Cambodia in 1999, and lived in Laos in 2000 and when I picked up an unpublished book about Kissinger's secret war on Cambodia, the whole world started opening up. imagine even 25 years after the war had ended there, it took 8 hours riding on the back of a truck over every still-broken, bombed out bridge to get to the capital from the Thai border. still 25 years later they had to warn us where to relieve ourselves on the breaks from the truck ride, in case of mines. there was a whole business of limb-makers and prosthetics aid organizations in Laos still nursing the children who's legs were blown off 3 generations later. there is no end to the blood and the greed of this empire...

I too feel deeply saddened at the passing of John Pilger. what a bright light of truth he was. do you have any insight into why he didn't see through the con of the last 3 years? same with Chris Hedges. I think I remember both of them arguing for "equality of jab distribution"... (?) so sad...still he was an amazing human.

I sincerely don't know why so many went along with the Genocide by Jab. In the case of Aaron Mate I think it was a lack of research/curiosity and the baneful influence of his father. He no longer mentions the errors of his ways! I suspect it was an attachment to "collectivism", the successful manipulation of the tribe identifying as "liberal/left" and such-like essentially "irrational" factors.

yes, and it is only you and CJ Hopkins that I know of who seem to comment on this rationally. still I find it difficult to see the conservative so called patriots talking about "freedom" when ....where were they all these years that the west was bombing the Middle East into oblivion? the truth is they were voting for and cheering on the wars...this makes me sick....they didn't care a whit about the freedom of those their government was bombing...the Gaza conflict has made the freedom community "split" back into their old camps, with the Christian Zionist conservative patriots taking the side of whitewashing genocide...

I know no one who refused the jab for the primary principle of freedom. Those who refused it were intelligent and skeptical enough to realize it was experimental, never used before in humans nor had it been adequately tested on animals or humans for any reasonable amount of time. Additionally, that it was being demanded for the whole world was outrageous for something that was obviously not a threat to most of the population. It was an intelligence test. Coupled with coercion, threats, real consequences such as loss of livelihood and shunning, it was a gigantic social experiment. “Freedom” was way down in the list. I think ascribing the of motivation of freedom as the primary factor was a gigantic diversion to avoid talking about the real concerns of those who refused, and served to clearly divide the brainwashed, fearful jabbers from the informed and justifiably dissident non-jabbers.

I watched a YT video yesterday with JP featured on FilmisNow Media entited Governments and Media roles in War Propaganda | THE WAR YOU DON'T SEE ... I fell on it by accident, it was on the right hand column on YT site. At the time of watching, I was not aware of his death and only learned the news from Azra Dale Substack article who has linked his videos on Palestine and Azra is looking for help to find his first one, so I believe. Please check it out. Mainstream journalists, or their Editors, sold out a long time ago and remaining independents, deliberately targetted, as we are seeing in Gaza. Julian Asssange another travesty.
