AMERICAN DUPLICITY

DAVID W PEAR—Threats such as “all options are on the table”, economic sanctions, seizing oil tankers on the high seas, and naval blockades are violations of international law. They are all acts of a war of aggression. The Nuremburg Tribunal defined wars of aggression to be the worst of war crimes, because it leads to all the other war crimes. These are properly regarded—and classified—as capital offences. Distinguished US jurists took a major role in formulating and enacting these principles.

Jimmy Dore and Aaron Maté dissect the numerous major (glaring) contradictions and information gaps in Mueller’s report.  Russiagate emerges as a huge waste od time and effort and a dangerous hoax designed to intensify russophobia and provide excuses for the utter ineptitude and corruption of the Democrats.

CAiTLIN JOHNSTONE—it turns out that endless war is an absolutely essential component of the globe-spanning alliance between oligarchs and government agencies which is sometimes referred to as the “deep state”. Exerting more and more control over world affairs is how the largest power structures on earth continue to expand their power, and this is impossible to do without using the carrot of US military/economic alliance and the stick of US military/economic punishment.

MAX PARRY—Through all its many significant faults, the People’s Republic has lifted nearly a billion people out of poverty since 1949 and while it is true there are still tens of millions who are poor, the Communist Party continues to organize the economy to eventually raise those remaining to a higher standard of living under the guide of its self-professed ‘socialism with Chinese characteristics.’
