A Different World Order

The daylong protests that erupted in various Cuban cities on July 11 had a strange reek about them even in mainstream news reports. The crowd counts were exaggerated, pro-government, counter-demonstrations ignored. CNN ran pictures of supporters of the revolution and blurred their placards to cast them as dissidents; one photograph shot in Miami’s conservative Cuban community was captioned to suggest it was in Cuba.

At this point, anyone who still takes the American press and broadcasters as other than propaganda operations is possessed of some childlike need to believe the things we all heard in our fifth-grade civics classes.

Have I mentioned anything about a delusional reality yet?

{There were no clarion calls, as was quickly evident. This was a regime-change op of the perfectly typical kind since the CIA handed the coup function over to Boy Scouty civil society organizations and what’s-not-to-like NGOs. No more exploding cigars and Bay of Pigs disasters in the Keystone Kops mode. It is subterfuge from within the social fabric now. See Ukraine. See Nicaragua. See Venezuela.}

All which should have disqualified Biden from running for president. Of course his collaborate peers in DC and the ruling class owned forth estate would remain mostly silent of his disastrous involvements in these places. But a well informed society on these issues, especially with the amount of murderous actions and corrupt business dealings in Ukraine, Biden, should have never been anywhere close to winning the democratic primary. He should have been shamed out far worse than that of which Andrew Cuomo recently went through.

{See what I mean by “reek?” Here is Blumenthal’s take-home insight, not to be missed:

“The strategy implemented by the U.S. in Cuba is a real-life version of the fantasies anti–Trump Democrats entertained when they fretted that Russia was covertly sponsoring Black Lives Matter and Antifa to spread chaos through North American society.”

Remember, “We are the people our parents warned us against”? Turn this old thought inside-out and you have Max’s point.}

What Happened Next

{“The proposal is to build something similar to the European Union, but attached to our history, reality, and identities,” AMLO explained in a July 26 speech marking Símon Bólivar’s birthday.

Something is happening here, Mr. Jones, and it is not too difficult to know what it is. Context is in order — the kind our corporate press assiduously avoids.}

{It has been evident for some time that China and Russia, the non–West’s most powerful nations, have grown impatient with the U.S. regime of sanctions against them and others, as well as interventions, subterfuge (of the kind we have just witnessed in Cuba), propaganda ops and all the rest that causes one to think, as they must in Moscow and Beijing, that subversion is not merely an adjunct of U.S. foreign policy: For nations determined to live beyond Washington’s imperial hegemony, subversion is U.S. policy.

The trend I describe gathers momentum very steadily. The only way one can miss it at this point is to confine one’s reading to the mainstream dailies, which rarely report any of it.}

Don't concentrate on the finger, or you'll miss all the heavenly glory. That's what MSCM keeps from us. The content of the heavenly glory while keeping us fixated on repetitive useless false rhetoric. All the while we are constantly being diverted from sources who will provide all sides of an issue.

{López Obrador said something interesting when he was making his case for a new Latin American organization that puts the OAS, thoroughly mangled by the policy cliques in Washington, in the past: “What is proposed here may seem utopian. However, it must be considered that without the horizon of ideals, we get nowhere, and therefore it is worth trying.”

Pertinent the world over, I would say.}
