ABOMINATIONS

AEARNUR—As the Neocons see things they are in a race against time to destroy America’s “enemies” before they become too powerful. So they have adopted a ‘wrecking ball’ policy globally to take advantage of the chaos. Every disruption to normality for them is a plus, stability a negative.

China will consider its reaction to Pelosi’s visit carefully so as not to fall into the trap laid for it by America’s dominant Neocon majority. China ought to look to Russia’s long-term response over the years where the ‘revenge is a dish best served cold’ policy was very effective.

Ray McGovern and Scott Ritter in an in-depth, detailed, and passionate discussion about Ukraine. Why Russia cannot stop, and US reckless threats to China. This was an amazing and insightful discussion that must be absorbed and shared.

ANDREI MARTYANOV—The Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia reports that the West will never supply Ukraine with US Patriot AD complexes “to not provoke Russia”. For lay observers this rationale seems sound, but, of course, in matters of politics in the West which is primarily smoke and mirrors and virtual reality, the main reason is completely different. It is here (in Russian) where Russian MoD demonstrates annihilation of the two launchers of the US-supplied HIMARS and also a radar unit of one of the Ukie S-300. 

The Patriot has a troubled history, but apart from its “effectiveness” being questioned from the times of the First Gulf War, one inevitably is forced to recall a global FUBAR in Saudi Arabia in 2019. The failure against “homemade” drones and missiles was so spectacular that one inevitably has to ask the question of how those Patriots will fare against a salvo of 3M14 Kalibr, let alone supersonic P-800 Onyx which also maneuvers if need be.

ANDRE DAMON—Not one of the crisis-ridden and despised governments leading the war effort, whether that of Biden, Johnson, Scholz or Macron, campaigned on the basis of starting a new world war. In the torrent of propaganda aiming to demonize Russia, the public has never been provided with a serious explanation as to its causes, aims and implications.
The war is justified with lies, because its aims are indefensible.

JORDAN SHILTON—The logical conclusion to be drawn from the government’s action and this chilling statement is that any job action or protest by workers that threatens the imperialist powers’ war will be declared illegal and prohibited by using the full force of the state apparatus. A regime that resorts to “everything in its power” to crush popular opposition and “maintain … cohesion” ought to by rights be called a dictatorship.

The oil workers’ union rushed to give its stamp of approval to the government’s draconian action. Audun Ingvartsen, leader of the Lederne union, vowed that workers would return to their jobs as soon as possible. Asked if the strike was over, he told Reuters, “Yes.”
