AMERICAN PROPAGANDA

Vladimir Orlov, a military analyst and expert at the Center for Political and Military Journalism, told PolitRussia about two modern anti-missile systems that the Americans could transfer to Ukraine. First of all he is talking about Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems, which Americans sell to the whole world. Their effectiveness has been repeatedly questioned, especially after the incident with the Yemeni Houthis’ missile strike on the oil rigs of Saudi Arabia.

“If the U.S. places such systems in Ukraine, it won’t make much difference,” the expert opined.

Another thing is if the Americans decide to send the THAAD system to Ukraine.

GODFREE ROBERTS—The Party’s fundamental responsibility is creating policies and mobilizing public support for them.

Those who did not like China had plenty of ‘ammunition’ when criticizing it then. The country was moving forward, but the task to make it prosperous, clean, and healthy appeared to by Sisyphean.

What followed was an absolute miracle, unprecedented in human history. Only the Soviet Union before the WWII registered greater growth and improvement of the standards of living of its people, than China did in the two last decades.

GIRALDI—The possible role of Israel in 9/11 was first explored in book form in 2003 by Antiwar.com editorial director Justin Raimondo in his The Terror Enigma, a short book focusing on Israeli spying and inconsistencies in the narrative that bore the provocative subtitle “9/11 and the Israeli Connection.”
