This week’s instalment of the Global Research News Hour focuses on the last of four assassination deaths: Robert F. Kennedy. Not only is it the most visibly provable crime committed by someone other than Sirhan Sirhan, but the individual in question is facing a parole hearing at the end of August 2021.

The investigator who will be playing a role directing us through the 60s assassinations is a remarkable chronicler of every single one of these cases. He has even been referred to as the guru of the probers into the assassinations. His name is James DiEugenio.

A Conversation With Catherine Austin Fitts - Money Finance Under Covid Tyranny

Marxist ideology is one of the most potent weapons the working and oppressed classes have, a weapon that our class can and has used to not only win reforms but to build revolutionary societies where the people, and not profits, are in control. As the PSL identified at our 3rd Party Congress in 2016, one of our primary tasks is to mend the “break in ideological continuity” that emerged after the overthrow of the Soviet Union by reestablishing “the theory of revolutionary Marxism and the entire vision of workers’ power” as a dominant guiding pole in people’s struggles [1].
To correct for the ideological break, it’s helpful to have a concrete understanding of ideology and the different forms it takes. Although the word ideology is used frequently, it’s commonly used in a pejorative sense to refer to something that’s not factual, that’s unscientific, or that’s devoid of substance. It’s also used by those hostile to socialism to present a distorted view of Marxism. What exactly is ideology? What is the difference between bourgeois and Marxist ideology? What significance does this have for organizing today?
To address these questions and help repair the break in the ideological continuity of revolutionary socialism in U.S. social movements, this article outlines Marx’s understanding of ideology. It traces his historical-materialist approach to investigating the relationship between ideas, material reality, and modes of production through several of his works. This allows us to take in the theory’s nuances about life and consciousness, as well as to draw out examples that are still relevant and applicable today. In particular, we focus on the theory of commodity fetishism and the function of the wage in producing the bourgeois ideological conception of the atomized individual. Proposing a move from “true/false” to “correct/incorrect,” the end of the article returns to the importance of popularizing and promoting Marxist ideology to understand and transform the world today, as revolutionaries have done throughout the socialist struggle to break the chains of exploitation and oppression.

What is ideology? An introduction to the Marxist theory of ideology

This week on the global research news hour, as we approach the 20th anniversary of the massive attacks believed to be the work of Al Qaeda terrorists, we will have a discussion on this program with the unique perspectives of two individuals who have challenged the official explanation in their own ways. In our first half hour, we talk to Matt Campbell, a British national whose brother was a victim and who is trying to get a new inquest into his death. Then in our second half hour, we’ll have a talk with journalist Lesley Hughes whose run for federal politics in 2008 was derailed by her advocating a truther position.

Investigating the truth of 9/11. Healing the Wound and Paying the Price

This week on the Global Research News Hour, we continue the discussion surrounding the 9/11 attacks and examine what’s been gained and  what’s been lost after 20 years of research, promotion, and legal actions

In our first half hour we are joined by the Architects and Engineers for 911 Truth president and CEO Roland Angle to discuss the results for their group, and talk about efforts to defray and disqualify the campaign for truth. In our second half hour, film maker and podcaster James Corbett  reflects on his views about the state of the movement and how it guides us to respond to crimes threatening a new generation of 'conspiracy theorists.'

As the Biden administration continues to seek the extradition of Julian Assange, new details have emerged about the Trump administration's secret war against Assange and his organization, Wikileaks. Michael Isikoff of Yahoo News discusses his team's explosive reporting on the CIA plot to surveil, kidnap, and even kill Assange -- all overseen by Michael Pompeo. 

Isikoff and Aaron Maté also debate Russia's role in the Assange controversy, particularly the allegation that Russia stole Democratic Party emails in 2016 and gave them to Wikileaks.

Guest: Michael Isikoff, chief investigative correspondent for Yahoo News.

Inside the CIA plot to kidnap, kill Julian Assange

This week on the global research News Hour, as the world gears up for the historic COP26 summit happening Oct 31 to Nov 12, we examine the negative sides of the elites and their non profit industrial complex and where the mechanisms put in place for decades will lead us in the age of COVID. For the bulk of the show, we are joined by the independent writer, journalist and environmental activist Cory Morningstar to describe the world’s fate in the face of the capitalist menace that continues its onslaught.

Promoting a New Tyranny under the Guise of Saving the Planet: A Conversation with Cory Morningstar

Dr. Piers Robinson returns to discuss being targeted by the MSM for accurately calling out truths surrounding Covid-19 from the beginning, analysis which has since proven to be right on the money. He believes the smear campaign tactic is greatly waning in efficacy and that more people are waking up. He gives an update on COVID9/11 including the propaganda, censorship, and how this event is being used for a very major political and economic restructuring towards Central Bank Digital Currency and total control over money. Vaccine Passports are sold as a moral imperative in order to get people onto the Digital ID which is the stepping stone to CBDCs and neo-feudal technocracy. You have to be profoundly naive to think this is just about a public health crisis. He sees people taking grassroots concerted action and hopes that the Great Reset begins to unravel, though admits the risk is clearly there that we could end up in a very bad place as in history past.

Piers Robinson: You Have to be Profoundly Naive to Think This is Just About Public Health #233

Steve St. Angelo of the SRSrocco Report returns to continue our conversation on how the world is going off the Energy Cliff and how we are never going back to normal. We are seeing the peak and decline of this global hi-tech complex economy. He believes the elite are powerless to stop the falling Energy Return On Investment (EROI) and that a lot of their wealth is going to be wiped out, just as in past history (e.g. late Bronze Age). He sees us hitting the energy peak at 2025 and the likelihood of military conflicts as a consequence. Russia is looking to the Arctic and China is in serious trouble. We don't have enough energy to make the transition to the Green Economy and therefore things like the metaverse, cryptocurrencies, and EVs won't be possible at scale due to the lack of energy and an electric grid already at capacity. This would make maintaining a global digital technocracy difficult.

About Steve St. Angelo
Independent researcher Steve St. Angelo (SRSrocco) started to invest in precious metals in 2002. Later on in 2008, he began researching areas of the gold and silver market that, curiously, the majority of the precious metal analyst community have left unexplored. These areas include how energy and the falling EROI – Energy Returned On Invested – stand to impact the mining industry, precious metals, paper assets, and the overall economy.

Steve considers studying the impacts of EROI one of the most important aspects of his energy research. For the past several years, he has written scholarly articles in some of the top precious metals and financial websites.

You can find many of Steve’s articles on noteworthy sites, such as GoldSeek-SilverSeek, Market Oracle, Financial Sense, GoldSilver.com, SilverDoctors, TFMetals Report, Outsiderclub, SGTreport, BrotherJohnF, Hartgeld, Der-klare-blick, PeakProsperity, SilverStrategies, DollarCollapse, FurtureMoneyTrends, Sharpspixley, FinancialSurvivalNetwork, Pmbull, Deviantinvestor, PmBug, Wealthwire, and ZeroHedge.

Steve St. Angelo: There Won't Be Enough Energy for the Elite's Great Reset & Metaverse #243

Writer David Dayen on his article "The Great Escape" for The American Prospect, and in a Moment of Truth, Jeff Dorchen picks egg over chicken.

Why workers quit working / David Dayen

Jim Jatras returns to discuss how things are changing at an accelerating pace and his expectation that there will be an event or series of events of world historic proportions further on up the road. The Great Reset is something elites have been wanting to do for decades (e.g. turn the majority of the world into serfs). He doesn't see the dam breaking anytime soon (e.g. protests are irrelevant) as governments continue escalating their draconian policies. He doesn't see any political solution because, even if Republicans win, they'll just carry water for their real constituents, the corporations. We discuss civil war, Rainbow Fascism, crowd psychology, and the move from soft to hard totalitarianism. He touches on NATO-Russia tensions, how Moscow's ultimatum sounds like a pretext for war and how D.C. pushing Ukraine to act would lead to a definitive break in Russian relations with the West, leaving the EU under American control. We ponder whether we could be living through what John the Revelator on Patmos once wrote about. He's worried the American republic may in fact go gentle into the woke quiet night.
