Oh, no! Simon Tisdall has once again referred to 'the international rules-based order’...

"Oh, no! Simon Tisdall has once again referred to 'the international rules-based order’."

-It's all the rage. Ursula von Warmonger- the one woman European economic wrecking ball puffs it as s "security architecture" - oh how very cultured it all sounds:

"It must be free, open, interconnected, prosperous, with a rules-based security architecture that serves all interests..."

US Secretary for War Blinken of course never saw a "Military Intervention" he didn't approve of until the Russians with great reluctance followed the US lead in Ukraine, tells us with China : "We are seeking, resolutely so, to uphold the rules-based International order..."

They don't of course tell you what the glib reasonable-sounding phrase actually means. The idea is to let people mistakenly infer they are talking about "International Law" which they aren't as the US doesn't recognise such a thing.
Because it wouldn't sound reasonable at all if expressed clearly:

"You must follow US Rules... which apply to everyone in the world but not to the US..."

Moral Authority

This mafia-esque insistence on an 'international rules-based order' supposedly independent of the hegemony and militarist imperialism of the US reminds me of Pinter's proposed speech for George W Bush:

'God is good. God is great. God is good. My God is good. Bin Laden’s God is bad. His is a bad God. Saddam’s God was bad, except he didn’t have one. He was a barbarian. We are not barbarians. We don’t chop people’s heads off. We believe in freedom. So does God. I am not a barbarian. I am the democratically elected leader of a freedom-loving democracy. We are a compassionate society. We give compassionate electrocution and compassionate lethal injection. We are a great nation. I am not a dictator. He is. I am not a barbarian. He is. And he is. They all are. I possess moral authority. You see this fist? This is my moral authority. And don’t you forget it.’ - https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/literature/2005/pinter/25621-harold-pinter-nobel-lecture-2005/

(Near the end) Gives me the chills every time...

..and Selective Outrage, Selective Amnesia, Selective Research Aversion. US biolabs for instance

Medialens et al - still ignoring the many US lab-leak, safety-violation warnings in 2014-2019.

Selectively blind to their own hypocrisy...

All "alternative" media sources and voices of note remain outrageously, unforgivably "inattentive", research-averse - and worse still - often rancidly contemptuous - MSM-style - of those of us who genuinely and consistently seek full-spectrum - not selective - awareness, attentiveness, investigative dedication.

By definition that includes diabolical ticking time-bomb biolabs like Fort Detrick.

So lead by example? Do the investigating and reporting and then publish it instead of just basically adding "What about Fort Detrick?" to the end of every thread.

...no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party...So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.

“World on track to be unlivable - story relegated to page 3”. Does this mean ..

..that relegation is no longer de jure and we can finally change our name back to “Media Lens MessageBoard”?
