The Brass Checkers: Fact-Checkers ‘R’ the ‘New Age Censors and Parody for Brilliance. Part 1
Thursday, 24 July 2025 — New Eastern Outlook
A century after Upton Sinclair exposed journalism as a racket in The Brass Check, today’s media landscape has evolved into something even more dangerous: sanitized censorship disguised as fact-checking.
In 1919, Upton Sinclair wrote a scathing exposé of American journalism as a racket, a system where truth is sold like a body in a brothel. Today’s pimps of public opinion aren’t just corporate editors or advertisers. They wear press badges labelled “Fact Checker” and claim neutrality. But scratch the surface, and many are professional liars—laundering narratives for the very powers they claim to oversee.

Wednesday, 23 July 2025 — Sonar 21
I know there is a lot of interest in the Jeffrey Epstein story and the new revelations from Tulsi Gabbard about Barack Obama and his team’s efforts to fan the flames of Russiagate. I have been all over the Russiagate matter since 2017. Here is the link to a piece I published on December 18, 2018 with the nifty title, The Trump Coup Is a Threat to Our Republic. I am glad the information is finally coming out, but I knew this seven years ago. What took them so long? While Tulsi’s revelations are legit, I think she is releasing this information now to distract attention away from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. Trump is getting killed in the polls — reportedly he is down 40% points on this issue.

To Dodge Epstein Trump Declares Intra-Elite War
Thursday, 24 July 2025 — Geopolitics And Climate Change
Offers Obama To The MAGA Masses
The US ruling bourgeois oligarchy can have its differences, but when push comes to shove the interests of the oligarchic class as a whole will trump any differences. Members of the oligarchy and bought-and-paid-for political tools may attack each other, but they will never get so vicious as to expose the overall class interests. It is very obvious that the full publication of all of the Epstein evidence would cause serious harm to the oligarchy as a whole as it would expose the widespread levels of disgusting wrong doing that pervade an oligarch class that assumes that it is above the law.

‘Israel’s war against the starved: The slow killing of Gaza
Wednesday, 23 July 2025 — Al Mayadeen English
Gaza is not starving, it is being starved by “Israel”. This is deliberate. An Israeli siege that weaponizes food. A blockade that turns bread into bait. An inhumane Israeli policy that forces children to die slowly, from hunger, not just bombs.
For over a year, the UN has warned: famine in Gaza is imminent. But now, Gaza is collapsing. Aid is blocked by “Israel” and is used as a trap. Those who rush to collect it are met not with relief, but with bullets.
What’s happening in Gaza is not a crisis. It’s a war crime. It’s starvation as policy. Genocide in slow motion.

HART’s Pick of the Week 20th July
Monday, 21 July 2025 — HART
SSRIs; WHO; Pushback on Assisted dying and late-stage abortion; No2digitalID
Antidepressant withdrawal – why do researchers keep downplaying it? Maryanne Demasi, 10th July 2025
Another insightful analysis of a JAMA systematic review, in which Maryanne picks numerous holes in their methodology, undermining their conclusion that withdrawal symptoms are ‘mild’ and generally short-lived and potentially enhanced by the nocebo effect. The authors do point to the important role of the media in giving balanced information, rather implying that the bad press around SSRIs may be enhancing nocebo withdrawal effects.

Russian Arms Overwhelm Ukraine as War Escalates Following False US “Peace” Offers
Sunday, 20 July 2025 — The New Atlas
- The US proxy war in Ukraine predictably escalates following false US “peace” offers (Minsk 3.0) Russia has ignored;
- While Russia’s military industrial production is overwhelming Ukraine and its Western sponsors, the US continues seeking a means to freeze the conflict and pivot toward Iran, China;
- Australia’s sending of 49 M1 Abrams will not impact its possible role in a US proxy war against China, since land systems are unlikely to be used in any Asia-Pacific conflict;
