Why Russia vetoed at the U.N. the U.S.-proposed inclusion of climate-change as a ‘National Security’ issue
17 minutes readERIC ZUESSE—he United States Government wants to persuade the gullible global public that it actually takes seriously the global-warming threat. The only way actually to stop global warming — if it still can be stopped — is to outlaw, even if in only one major country (such as the U.S.), purchases of stocks and bonds in fossil-fuels-extraction companies, such as ExxonMobil, but the U.S. Government isn’t doing that; and, so, obviously, it has no real intention to prevent global burnout. Instead, it has proposed many measures, for PR purposes, in order to advance its real objectives. The latest such measure is one that is actually aimed at expanding yet further its global empire of ‘allied’ (or vassal) countries, so as ultimately to take control over the entire world, as being its empire — the very first all-encompassing global empire, such as Nazi Germany was trying (but failed) to establish.

Free Assange! Marianne Williamson, Krystal Ball, Katie Halper, Kyle Kulinski, Glenn Greenwald + More
8 minutes readKatie Halper organizes a livestream to free Julian Assange, and we’re grateful for her effort, even if the roster encompasses many establishmentarians and dubious leftists who have remained silent or played duplicitous roles in the Assange saga. Still, the more voices that join the choir on behalf of Julian Assange, especially (I hope) enlightened establishmentarians, the better.

Assessing the outcome of the Biden Putin summit
23 minutes readTHE SAKER—Sadly, I don’t see the Biden White House capable of riding out the hysterics of the War Party, if only because the War Party fully compensates what it lacks in common sense with a maniacal determination to prevail, if only because should “peace break out” they would lose their incomes. I sure hope that I am wrong here, but it would take a quite charismatic leader to dare to openly take on the War Party (we all remember how the swamp quickly drained Trump rather than the other way around).

Any discussion of the ABM treaty is likely to remain obtuse and confusing unless its strategic/historical context is explained. Such contextual analysis is indeed attached to the Martyanov article, and you can read it in the Appendix. The gist of the analysis is that the US, by finally disavowing the ABM Treaty, and continuing its longstanding push to perfect its anti-missile defences, is looking for ways to free its hands to obtain, once again, a survivable first-strike nuclear capability. The US is the only major nuclear power that has never renounced this criminal posture, and, of course, the only nation in history to have used atomic weapons against a civilian population.
