Glenn Greenwald continues down the path of post-partisan brilliance.
Does Endless Spending in Ukraine Cause Deprivations at Home? | SYSTEM UPDATE #68
As it turns out–yes it does. The endless war machine grows fatter and uglier until it physically and spiritually resembles Jabba the Hutt, while we the People have no health care and live in cities and towns bereft of life’s necessities, deliberately.
The new House speaker Kevin McCarthy ran against sending a hundred billion dollars to Biden’s latest war, and then as soon as he was elected did a complete 180, fell to his knees, and starting sucking the appendage of the defense contractors and the military-industrial complex. Repubs … Dems … there is literally no one worth wasting your vote on when it comes to this most central of all imperialist issues.
As MLK points out, hings have been like this your whole life. They’re getting markedly worse than they were in 1967.
The candidates we so very democratically elect are literally taking years off of our lives, as measured by declining life expectancy, and it’s not just the quantity of life either: “The quality of our lives is degrading.”
I don’t need to explain every angle of it–you know it in your heart. And if you really don’t, or forgot, then just go watch.

Elon/BBC Conflict Shows Fraud of “Disinformation, + Lee Fang Exposes MSNBC | SYSTEM UPDATE #69
During an interview with the BBC, Elon Musk, love him or hate him, accurately calls the interviewer a liar. GG dives deeper than either of them to prove why lies are the least of it.
I share the belief that–just like the word ‘fascist’–the terms ‘hate speech’ and ‘disinformation’ are essentially devoid of meaning at this point, and just serve as props to try and libel any view that the speaker wants to demonize, without reference or regard to the First Amendment or the neglected concept of free speech.
If you just want the heart of the interview without analysis, you can get it in five minutes here.
The second segment is Glenn’s interview with Lee Fang, who recently jumped ship from the farce that is The Intercept just as GG did over the Hunter-Biden-laptop story a few years back. Mr. Fang’s first free piece is about another mainstream media liar, Medhi Hassan, and MH’s attempted and botched smear job of Matt Taibbi.

Dems Urge Biden to Ignore Court Rulings | SYSTEM UPDATE #67
from 53:17-1:14:51
(a slightly different edit of the same content at YT)
Speaking of liars and tools, here are a couple of Dem Senators a few days back calling for the Biden administration to unconstitutionally ignore the rulings of federal courts. One of the most famous court cases in early American judicial history, Marbury vs. Madison, specifically forbids this, but … whatever, right?
If you let it play past the 1:15:00 mark you get a bonus segment about Republicans being equally venal and dumb.
