US GOVERNMENT CRIMES

PETER KOENIG—The Saudis from day one – in October 2015 – were just launching a proxy war for the US against Yemen – Yemen has a key strategic location in the Gulf and Middle East, and also off-shore deep hydrocarbon deposits – and god forbid, may not be ruled by a people-friendly – a socialist leaning government.

China is rapidly replacing—or matching—Russia’s demonisation campaigns. In the usual US propaganda playbook mode of facilitating the injection of mental venoms, a whole country deemed an adversary by the US elites summed up in a singly evil leader.
