Teaser for tomorrow's episode of Radical Liberation.
Michael Rectenwald gets the term "governmentality" as in "govern-mentality" from Foucault. But he amends the term to refer to "the distribution of state power to extragovernmental agents—in particular to the extension and transfer of state power to supposedly private enterprises."

It's not enough for injustice to be done.
Injustice must be *seen* to be done.

I recently met a journalist who had been working for the Financial Times for many years. She wrote an article last fall in which she used my name in an article that was positive towards me. She was told by her editors that they wouldn't print the article unless my name was removed. She wouldn't do it. They printed the paper without the article and put in filler - because they didn't have anything to fill that space. This was the last straw for her and she quit the Financial Times. She is now working independently.
This is where Main Stream Media is. Complete censorship. Completely bought into advocacy journalism.
Old school journalists everywhere are having to resign and quit - rather than give up on their principles and morals. Advocacy journalism IS propaganda.

If you watch the YouTube videos of the named "person of interest" in the Brooklyn subway shooting, you will be astonished at the huge gap between his actual dominant ideology and political worldview and how liberal corporate media outlets are describing it. Or maybe you won't be.

"Content moderation" is the Orwellian euphemism which corporate journalists and liberals (excuse the redundancy) have created for the term "censorship."
Political correctness, woke politics, censorship… A whirlwind of cultural changes. Where is it all coming from?
The state.
I’ll explain how by drawing on Paul Gottfried, Academic Agent and Michael Rectenwald.

Those familiar with Academic Agent from his show Unpopular Opinions may think of him as a funny guy. And that is true.
As editor of his previous scholarly book I can tell you that he is also a top-notch scholar who can actually write (a rarity).
You will enjoy this book. And you will learn.

NEW BOOK: https://www.imperiumpress.org/product-page/the-populist-delusion
The 2016 presidential campaign of Donald Trump unleashed a wave of populism not seen in America since the Nixon era, which carried him into the presidency. Seen widely as a vindication of the people over elites, his failure to bring about any meaningful change was then seen as an aberration, a departure from a natural state where the people are sovereign and their representatives govern by their consent. This is the populist delusion.
This book by Academic Agent explodes that delusion. Beginning with the Italian elite school, he shows the top-down and elite driven nature of politics by explicating one thinker per chapter: Mosca, Pareto, Michels, Schmitt, Jouvenel, Burnham, Francis, and Gottfried. The sobering picture that emerges is that the interests of the people have only ever been advanced by a tightly organized minority. Just as fire drives out fire, so an elite is only ever driven out by another elite.
The Populist Delusion is the remedy for a self-defeating folk politics that has done the people a great disservice.

Let me make this simple for you…
Do you really think the Lord supports the folks that are encouraging people, even children, to destroy their sexuality and mutilate their sexual organs?

Indeed, whether it be the gods or God, we are on the side of truth, beauty and goodness. The Powers That Be must push against all this to shape their ungodly, unnatural and mutant vision of 'order' on the world.
Even if we don't have institutional power on our side, we know our cause to be right. I know that doesn't help a lot as the situation appears more dire, but I hope it means something at least.

Remarkably honest passage from Neocon Robert Kagan here acknowledging the role of the US in provoking Pearl Harbor, 9/11 and the invasion of Ukraine.
He basically says, “yes, it’s all blowback. But it’s worth it.”

“Germans have moved beyond the double standard that we complain about in this country. There is only one standard among them. Violence & terrorism are fine, providing they come from self-described antifascists.”

“to entertain the prospect of Reverse Gramsci is to believe the lies that liberal democracy tells about itself (its mask) rather than its true face, which is that it is an absolute system that can brook no dissent.”

Assessing the Alternatives to 'Clear Them Out'
In this article I will explore my reasons for seeing no alternative to ‘Clear Them Out’ as a strategy for dissidents. This is not some random position; it is one to which I have come after adopting and then coming to see the futility of the alternatives.…

How Much Are We Prepared To Sacrifice To Help The US Win A Propaganda War Against Putin?

Who knows if any of this is actually true. All I know is Nato and the UN have a habit of perpetuating conflicts into a (inter)national crisis, for *checks notes* humanitarian reasons.
