Skillful manipulators make frequent use of a cognitive bias known as the illusory truth effect, a glitch in the way human minds tend to operate which makes it hard for us to differentiate between the experience of hearing a well-evidenced fact and the experience of hearing something that they’ve heard repeated multiple times. By Caitlin Johnstone We’re seeing the western political/media class bleating the word “unprovoked” in unison again, this time in reference to the massive multi-pronged operation launched by Hamas against Israel on Saturday morning which reportedly killed hundreds of Israelis. “The United States unequivocally condemns the unprovoked attacks by Hamas terrorists against Israeli…

The peace movement in various parts of the world has emphasized in various contexts that if the huge amounts spent on various wars had been spent instead on meeting essential civilian needs, then apart from avoiding the loss of lives caused in actual fighting and bombing or due to the loss of health infra-structure destroyed by bombs, many lives could have been saved also by diverting war expenditure to essential civilian needs presently unmet. In the context of the 22 year war on terror launched by the USA and some of its close allies in 2001, it is estimated here…

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the U.N. General Assembly on Friday that Israel is “at the cusp” of a historic breakthrough leading to a peace agreement with Saudi Arabia, without outlining a clear path over the significant obstacles facing such an accord. He struck an optimistic tone throughout his roughly 25-minute address — and, once again, used a visual aid. He displayed contrasting maps showing Israel’s isolation at the time of its creation in 1948 and the six countries that have normalized relations with it, including four that did so in 2020 in the so-called…

Covid and Its Variants are Laboratory Creations On September 4, I reported that Japanese scientists had examined Covid and its variants and found that all are Laboratory creations. https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2023/09/04/japanese-scientists-find-that-covid-19-and-all-of-the-variants-are-laboratory-creations/  This discovery raises the dangerous and disturbing question why a laboratory is producing viruses with which to infect humans. I contacted a scientist who had been involved in the study of the original SARS for his evaluation and explanation of the Japanese scientists’ report.  His explanation is below.  It is challenging for non-professionals to follow, but less so than the Japanese study itself. As I understand the findings, it is the absence of synonymous mutations…

‘Many interesting projects’ are open for Moscow and Pyongyang despite UN sanctions, the Russian leader has said. North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is making a rare foreign visit this week, as he tours several military and civilian locations in Russia’s Far East. Russian President Vladimir Putin, who met with his guest on Wednesday, has touted opportunities for cooperation between the two nations, despite sanctions imposed on Pyongyang by the UN. Here’s how the first day of Kim’s visit went. Talks at cosmodrome Kim arrived in Russia in his personal train, a mode of transportation that both his father and grandfather used…

The Insouciant Russians Paul Craig Roberts Armenia, despite being a member of Russia’s Collective Security Treaty Organization, began last Monday joint military exercises with the United States that will conclude September 20.   This would appear to be Armenia’s finger in Russia’s eye.  Clearly, Big Bucks Washington bribed someone in Armenia. The Russians are yet to learn that Putin’s idealism exists nowhere else and that they must out-bribe the Americans. About a year ago Washington organized “Regional Cooperation 2022,” an  exercise of the US armed forces with the former Soviet Central Asian Republics of Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Kryrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan.  As Washington’s cover…

Tony Blinken, the top U.S. diplomat, just made comments about U.S.-supplied long-range missiles that further raise the risks of a direct confrontation between the world’s two nuclear superpowers, writes Caitlin Johnstone.  During an appearance on ABC’s This Week with Jonathan Karl, U.S. Secretary of State Tony Blinken explicitly said that the U.S. would not oppose Ukraine using U.S.-supplied longer-range missiles to attack deep inside Russian territory, a move that Moscow has previously called a “red line” which would make the United States a direct party to the conflict. “We understand that the United States is considering sending those long-range missiles that Ukraine has been asking for for…
