ERIC ZUESSE—If Russia wins in Ukraine, then only RFK Jr. could beat any Republican nominee. However, if America wins in Ukraine (which Russia won’t allow, because that would pose a severe existential threat to Russia’s national security — it would mean the end of Russia as an independent sovereign nation), then Biden (or another neoconservative Democrat) will (tragically for the entire world) win in 2024.

14 minutes readERIC ZUESSE—On September 20th, the unelected President of the anti-democratic bureaucracy that runs the EU, the European Commission, who is the German aristocrat (of silk merchant’s origin) Ursula von der Leyen (pronounced like Lyin’, so that her name can be simplified, in English, to Mrs. Lyin’) introduced with high praise the extremely unpopular-in-Japan leader of America’s vassal-nation Japan, Fumio Kishida.

Scott Ritter: “Stupidity on a Massive Scale”
7 minutes readEDITOR—A Scott Ritter interview packed with straightforward truths about the cynicism and immorality of our foreign policy, based, as unfortunately too few people realise or accept, on naked imperialism, by a witness with a front-row seat. The picture is not pretty, what we are doing in Ukraine—what we have been doing in Ukraine for now almost 80 years, if not longer—would turn the stomach of any decent person or genuine US patriot. It’s clear, suggests Scott Ritter, that the US ruling elites do not practice at all the values they profess to honor, and that in their current course, to maintain world hegemony by any means necessary, they are engaging in a new global Cold War that targets China, Russia, and Iran, among the main recipients of US aggression and treachery, plus a policy riddled with sociopathic short-term thinking aimed at quick enrichment that seeks impossible objectives, such as the weakening and destruction of Russia, even at the risk of a terminal nuclear war. Normal people may wonder why the US is ruled by psychopaths.

40 minutes readLUCIANA BOHNE—The key event in the history of the dissolution of the Soviet Union was 25 February 1956, when Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev attacked Joseph Stalin in his infamous “secret report” to the 20th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, “On the Cult of Personality and Its Consequences.” The Chinese Communist Party, led by Mao Zedong, reacted severely by pointing out that the “struggle against the personality cult” was in reality a struggle to discredit the leadership of the Soviet Communist Party up to the death of Stalin in 1953.
