Near Dark


The era of U.S. vampire capitalism (born from the election of Ronnie Raygun in 1980) destroying all traditions, memories, hopes, romance, honor, communion, and love is over. That's the silver lining of this over-blown COVID-19 fear porn: how obvious to the rest of the planet how incompetent, sheeplike, stupid, and selfish just about all of U.S. society has become.

So the question is: will the U.S. corporate totalitarians go gently into that good night, as did Britain and France after World War II, as did the Soviet Union under traitors Gorbachev/Yeltsin in the late-80s into the 90s; or will they try to take down the rest of humanity in their death throws?

John Pilger -- our bravest 21st-century journalist not currently locked-down in Belmarsh Prison -- thinks he has the answer: a coming war against the People's Republic of China.
