28 Oct 2024
24 Oct 2024 – If she wins on Nov. 5 and a Harris administration comes to be next Jan. 20, there will be no deviation whatsoever from the Biden regime’s limitless, unconditional support for Zionist Israel’s expanding campaigns of terror in West Asia.

4 Dec 2023
28 Nov 2023 – The practice of “embedding” struck me as a repellent compromise with power. It is no longer enough to tether correspondents to the perspective of the military from whose side they report. We are on the way to huge, bloody, consequential wars fought without any witnesses.

14 Nov 2023 – Palestine and the New World Order – Bombing hospitals was, just a few days ago, a red line the IDF dared not cross without provoking international condemnation.

31 Oct 2023 – The video provokes a disgust as profound as any I have ever felt. It features Israelis recording themselves sadistically ridiculing Palestinians in the most cruel manner.

The Real Threat from China: They’re Better at Capitalism Than We Are
Patrick Lawrence | ScheerPost - TRANSCEND Media Service,
4 Sep 2023
30 Aug 2023 – The Biden administration’s China strategy comes down to parrying, in a word. All the pointless talk is to obscure an effort to undermine China’s economy because we cannot compete with it, while—part two—buying time to move maximum U.S. military hardware as close to China as possible under the Pacific Defense Initiative.

14 Aug 2023
8 Aug 2023 – Lisbon, following the revolution, was the author’s classroom. As Washington made another nation one of its experiments in altered reality, the U.S. press played POLO — “the power of leaving out” — with abandon.

Patrick Lawrence | Consortium News - TRANSCEND Media Service,
26 Jun 2023
20 Jun 2023 – The bitter truth is that the leaders of Biden’s foreign policy are too paralyzed by the ideology of American primacy to come up with a single, solitary new thought as to how to address other great powers as we enter an historically new era.

29 May 2023
17 May 2023 – Farewell to the Welfare State? Not Just Yet. Let’s see how Europeans respond when they are told their peace dividend is to be spent on the machinery of war — when it’s “howitzers instead of hospitals” now, as a New York Times article puts it.

Media: Objectivity and Its Discontents
Patrick Lawrence | ScheerPost - TRANSCEND Media Service,
20 Feb 2023
14 Feb 2023 – It is one thing for reporters and editors to abandon the principle of objectivity as they hurl their hatchets at those who provoke their prejudices—Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump, whomever. It is another for the retired coots now posing as the profession’s wise men to elevate these derelictions to the principle of there-are-no-principles. How far down the crater of corruption are those running US media’s newsrooms going to cascade?

23 Jan 2023
21 Jan 2023 – It is always the same when Japanese premiers travel to Washington to summit [submit?] at the White House. Nothing seems to happen and nobody pays much attention even when important things happen, when we should all pay attention.

Europe and the Legitimization of Deception
Patrick Lawrence | ScheerPost - TRANSCEND Media Service,
16 Jan 2023
8 Jan 2023 – The U.S. has long practiced the diplomacy of no diplomacy. You can’t expect much from bimbos such as Antony Blinken or Wendy Sherman, his No. 2 at the State Department. All they can do is roar, even if they are mice next to any serious diplomat.

28 Nov 2022
27 Nov 2022 – Events in the U.S. and in Israel indicate that the Biden administration has decided to drop all notion of reviving the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action-JCPOA. Biden will hold to Trump’s position when he pulled the U.S. out of the pact in 2018.

7 Nov 2022
1 Nov 2022 – This is what our public discourse has come to. We in the USA have made a nonsense of ourselves. Our troubled republic sounds like an indecipherable cacophony amid which anything we say can be turned to mean other than what we mean. When we come across anyone who thinks differently than we do, we simply call him or her a disseminator of disinformation, a liar, and nothing more need be said.

Patrick Lawrence | ScheerPost - TRANSCEND Media Service,
22 Aug 2022
19 Aug 2022 – I have long wondered why our mainstream journalists, correspondents and commentators give so similar accounts of things. This has been especially so in the Ukraine crisis: Keeping readers and viewers a safe distance from reality is a touchy matter. One slip and the shroud shreds.

27 Sep 2021
20 Sep 2021 – The origins of the first Cold War have been hopelessly blurred in the histories. We can watch this time. It is occurring before our eyes. I venture a prediction.
