THE SAKER—An analysis of the infiltration of Western cultural ideas into Russia with the object of subverting its hard-won sovereignty. Many youths and intellectuals have played a role in this dangerous project in which the West’s pop culture “soft power” is used to create centers of resistance and “anomie”, and political destabilisation, against the Russian government.

MATT TAIBBI—MSNBC opinion columnist Zeesham Aleem just penned the latest in what’s become a parade of hit pieces from mainstream outlets directed at me and other independent journalists. Even by the low standards of the genre, “How the populist left has become vulnerable to the populist right” is a humorous standout. It argues that after I spent a month detailing how the FBI, DHS, DOD, CIA and other agencies built a system for mass delivery of censorship requests to firms like Twitter and Facebook, I helped fuel a subculture that “could funnel people from leftism to authoritarianism.”

JIM KAVANAGH—The Jesuits were formed as the vanguard of the Counter-Reformation and have historically been attached to reactionary politics, but the order is also highly adaptable to the changes in social ideology, while maintaining a consistent commitment to educating the future elite. By the time I was in high school, some good men like Daniel Berrigan, were teaching smart students to see the world through lenses of intellectual and moral honesty, helping them lapse to the left. Like Fidel, who said the Jesuits who ran the high school he attended, “influenced me with their strict organization, their discipline and their values. … They influenced my sense of justice.”

The Long String of U.S./UK/EU Lies Against Russia
19 minutes readERIC ZUESSE—The U.S.-and-allied regimes display a contempt of their own ‘citizens’ (or “subjects”) by lying to us constantly, in order to pump up still further the international sales-volumes of America’s international mega-corporations such as Lockheed Martin and ExxonMobil. The aristocracies are playing a dangerous game, with everyone’s lives. (The British aristocracy has long called it “The Great Game”; or, now, “the Anglosphere alliances”; but, really, it’s Rhodesism, which started in 1877 and pits U.S. and UK against Europe and especially against Russia, so that the UK/U.S. “Special Relationship” will ultimately control the entire world. UK/U.S. target all of Europe to be their colonies, to exploit.

THORSTEN J PATTBERG—Privileged Western Expats, be they government officials, cultural representatives, or business leaders, must be earning a fortune to be able to relocate their entire family to Japan; so if they do, they usually enjoy generous Expat packages that include bonuses and perks, luxurious living, business travel, and private schools for the kids. And because there is more supply than demand, those private schools for foreign Expats also accept Japanese locals with enough money to burn, because the American school or the British school or the French or German schools are offensively over-prized.
