“In our make-believe politics, the strings pulled by the super-rich are all too visible: Biden wanders offstage or walks like a geriatric robot. Yet we are meant to believe he's carefully navigating us through the nuclear tripwires of the West's serial wars”
by Jonathan Cook on Substack substack (npub16uh…lsxe)
“In western political systems, unlike those of its enemies, there is supposedly a meaningful democratic choice between candidates representing opposing worldviews and values.
We are supposed to believe in a western political model of openness, pluralism and accountability even when in the US and UK the public are offered an electoral scrap between two candidates and parties that, to stand a chance of winning, need to win favour with the corporate media representing the interests of its billionaire owners, need to keep happy billionaire donors who fund their campaigns, and need to win over Big Business by demonstrating their unwavering commitment to a model of endless growth that is completely unsustainable.”
