AMERICAN DUPLICITY

ANDREI MARTYANOV—Today, America’s actions represent increasingly pronounced symptoms of a declining power, one which cannot face reality without going mad. And she is going mad, domestically, as well as internationally, and the only force which is capable of keeping this increasingly irrational and dangerous power from committing suicide while taking everyone else with her is the threat of a massive military defeat. Russia has this force to do so, and so far it works. But I do have my own question: do orderlies in the asylum get offended when overpowering the violent patient and restraining it to the bed, by the patient’s insults and resistance?

THE SAKER—What I tried to show in these articles is that, in total contrast with the “bad old Soviet propaganda,” the modern Russian counter-propaganda does the exact opposite of what most people in the West believe it does: far from suppressing western propaganda, the Kremlin tries its very best to make sure that as many Russians as possible become aware of what the West is saying about them, their country and their values.  The Kremlin even  PAYS anti-Russian pundits to go on Russian national TV!!!

Why?  Simply, because considering the nature of what the western media outlets, and even entire specialized entities, write and say about Russia, the best thing the Kremlin can do is to make darn sure that everybody in Russia becomes aware of it.

During the Cold War, the Soviets had a strict censorship system, entire segments of literature was banned, you could not take certain books across the border and radios like RFE/RL, the BBC or DW were jammed. Now the opposite is happening.

THE SAKER—The US wants to trigger a war in Europe, but a war limited to its most useless and subservient colonies, especially Ukraine.  In order to not risk being nuked, sunk or hypersonically decapitated, the US is now showing Russia that it still has (some) teeth left, so “don’t mess with us”.  The implication is exactly what April Glaspie said to the Iraqis before the Gulf War: “don’t touch the KSA, but we don’t care about Kuwait“.  We all know how this ended.

This is probably what Victoria Nuland offered Putin during her trip to Moscow: take eastern Ukraine, leave the rest and we won’t interfere beyond verbal protests.

The delusional US colonies in the Black Sea region are now dreaming of a triangle “Georgia, the Ukraine, Romania” but only they, not the Russians, take that nonsense that seriously (the Russians know they can swat down these pretend states’ armed forces in 24 hours).  But the point is that these colonies do buy it all, especially the Ukrainians (watching their TV shows is hilarious).

ANDRE VLTCHEK—Anti North Korean propaganda is so pervasive, so vicious, and so obsessive that it easily outstrips the anticommunist vitriol dispensed to other nations designated as “enemies” by the perennially sanctimonious “indispensable nation”.  Such unrelenting hybrid war by the empire’s minions is designed not only to keep the victimised nation isolated and in penury, but to serve notice to other nations that anyone defying Uncle Sam’s diktats is also liable to find itself in similar sorry circumstances. In any case, here’s perhaps the best and most lucid denunciation and rebuttal of the arch-hypocritical effluvia emanating from the US disinformation machine and that of its vassal states. It was penned by our editor emeritus André Vltchek.

MATT EHRET—As I laid out in my recent article ‘Guterres and the Great Reset: How our Economy Became a Time Bomb’, those figures preparing to pull the plug on the bubble known as the western financial system tend to orbit one particular organization called the World Economic Forum, with names such as Klaus Schwab, Henry Kissinger and George Soros.

And while consumers of anti-Chinese propaganda might here exclaim that these individuals have all spoken well of China at different times, the only thing which Schwab, Soros or Kissinger admire is China’s centralized power structures and social credit systems. Everything that China is actually doing as far as building the New Silk Road, unleashing long-term credit for development, empowering sovereign nation states to stand on their two feet and ending global poverty are despised.
