Israel’s Increasing Isolation – Redux
Almost exactly a year ago, we reported on the procession of nation states recognise the independent state of Palestine.
In the space 48 hours last September, the governments of France, San Marino, Luxembourg, Monaco, Andorra, Malta, the UK, Canada, Portugal and Australia have all announced their recognition of the State of Palestine.
It was the greatest number of countries to recognise Palestine in the same year since 1988, and they all did it the same weekend.
Two days later we updated the story, noting the increased talk of Israel’s “isolation” on the world stage. Noting that even the…...

Andy Burnham’s Trojan Manchesterism – Part 1
UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham is not the first to have achieved the UK’s highest political office without any kind of public (electoral) mandate. He is the first, however, to represent the Labour and Co-operative Party.
The media keeps calling him the Labour prime minister, but that’s not strictly true.
Burnham is the Labour Party leader, but he is listed on Parliament’s website as a member of the Labour and Co-operative Party. In fact, Burnham represents a dizzying number of public sector but predominantly private sector interests.

If you want to be scared (and it seems like a sizeable number of people always do), start thinking about why your TV, radio, newspapers, politicians and favourite oligarchs are ALL pushing the same absolute fairytale BS about the 'threat' from AI.
They're probably not doing this by coincidence, and they're definitely not doing it because they know AI is coming to get them.
They're all following a script.
And we know that when that happens the results are not usually very good.
Last time we had focused fear porn of this magnitude the 'covid' lie happened and tore your life apart.
So, just reflect before you start screaming along with the world's media.

Some people are suggesting this whole AI panic narrative is just a seedy mindfuck riding on the back of the average person's total ignorance of how computer tech, software and coding actually works, and their concomitant willingness to believe it's basically magic.
A sort of gotcha by the technocrats at the masses they despise, who can be herded like sheep and believe any old crap their TV tells them
But we'd never suggest anything as baldly cynical as that...
I mean does this look like lowest common denominator fear porn to you?

“Human Extinction by 2030″…Remember that major AI psy-op we talked about?
I’ve been documenting the increasingly hysterical coverage of ‘rogue AI’ for the last six weeks, predicting a major psy-op or false flag.
Well, kids it looks like the psy-op part is here. So far no false flag…but with the greatest level of hysteria since the early days of Covid circulating, maybe they won’t need to DO anything.
Maybe insane claims about a phantom threat will be enough.
Oh yes, did you know Artificial Intelligence has a “10% chance of wiping out humanity before the end of the decade”?
That’s the headline on every single mainstream paper, the trending topic…...

9/11: 40 phone-calls that changed the world – but were they real?
an extract from the book VOICES: The US Govt’s 9/11 Phone Call Evidence by Rowland Morgan, Investigative Journalist
On March 22nd, 2006, U.S. high-court judges handed down a decision that allowed the release of all 1 the evidence presented in the trial of a hereditarily paranoid-schizophrenic Moroccan named Zacarias Moussaoui. He had been in U.S. custody at the time of 9/11, but U.S. prosecutors claimed he had been an accessory to the plot and threw the book at him, demanding the death sentence. Much of the trial had been held behind closed doors, and…...

Now Everyone Has a Voice
That’s a good thing, right? Isn’t that what we’ve been fighting for all along? Isn’t that what Norman Rockwell meant when he painted Freedom of Speech—the guy standing up to speak, with some folded-up paper in his pocket? That’s what free speech is all about, isn’t it?
“Every man has a voice to be heard.”
Yeah, I thought that was the whole point, too. Now I’m not so sure. I remember when the Internet was first coming into mass awareness, and I read an article commenting on it as a forum for every thought every person ever had.…...

Why I Still Don’t Talk About 9/11 While Talk of Trump Using Nukes Increases
With the twenty-fifth anniversary of “9/11” this week, it is important to remember all the warning signs that were evident in the months leading up to the events of that terrible day and the anthrax attacks that followed. Despite their obviousness, the Bush administration, after the fact, denied that they were aware of them. They claimed they were taken by surprise by Al Qaeda terrorists led by Osama bin Laden.
They were lying.

These excerpts of the radio communications between firefighters in the South Tower (WTC2) minutes before collapse were withheld by the Port Authority of New York for several months before finally being released in 2002.
It's pretty clear from these that the men sent in to deal with the fires did not foresee any imminent collapse and indeed seem to be viewing the situation as well within their control.

The Enemy of My Enemy
Chalk another one up for the ethno-nationalists!
That’s right, as I’m sure you’ve heard by now, the Alternativ für Deutschland party (AfD) won an election last Sunday in Saxony-Anhalt, one of Germany’s sixteen federal states. They won it convincingly, overwhelmingly, despite (or maybe due to) the fact that the establishment parties have been maintaining a “firewall” of total non-cooperation with them, Germany’s federal domestic intelligence agency has designated them a “confirmed right-wing extremist endeavor,” and the mainstream media have been calling them “Nazis.”
Which they are, kind of…or, okay, not literally. There are no literal Nazis these days.…...

This Week in the New Normal – 9/11 Anniversary Edition
It was a busy weekend of 9/11 talking points – both for truthers and “debunkers”, and quite a revealing one. As someone that has covered 9/11 informally for nearly 20 years, and formally for the last ten, I don’t recall this much clear pro-official story propaganda in long, long time.
This manifested as clear, planned disinformation campaigns hitting the same talking points over and over again.
The pattern is quite telling. So much so it merits a special edition of our This Week series.

‘Rogue AI’ is Covid.2.0
The AI panic is not going away, in fact it’s gathering the kind of fevered hysterical momentum we have not seen since the birth of Covid.
Nothing about it is organic, it is all 100% cultivated and steered in a direction. The final aim of this manufactured, fear-based social programming is new regulation. That has become undeniably obvious.
All that remains to be discovered is how bad it’s going to be.
But before we get into where we are right now, or where we might be heading, I want to look back and reflect at how we got here,…...

So it’s been ten years since I started writing these essays. I don’t know how many I’ve written at this point, probably over two hundred. I’m not going to count. I started out publishing them on my blog, Consent Factory, and submitting them to CounterPunchback in 2016.
Since then, they’ve been published (with and without permission) by outlets all across the political spectrum. Four collections of them have been published as books. They’ve been censored, “visibility filtered,” banned, made the subject of a criminal prosecution, and have otherwise amused, confused, informed, and infuriated readers throughout…...
