EDITOR—Garland carefully examines Russia’s options in the face of unrelenting hostility and aggression by the West through its Ukraine proxy, and now directly through NATO assets in a new phase of the Ukraine conflict involving the firing of long-range missiles on Russian cities and sensitive strategic infrastructure. Garland does not believe that, even at this dangerous juncture, Moscow will resort to nuclear weapons or other drastic forms of military retaliation but, instead, will simply use its enormous economic clout to seriously wound the NATO alliance by denying the West a large number of sensitive resources its requires for its normal economic and strategic functioning. Things like oil, heavy petroleum, titanium, etc., all of which are essential for the production of advanced aviation, computers, electricity generation (via nuclear plants), domestic fuel for heating, and so on. If Russia does this, there will not be a nuclear war, but the Western populations will experience first-hand the huge problems created by the betrayal of their ruling circles as a consequence of their slavish alliance with Washington and support for its criminal and idiotic wars.

MARK TAYLOR—As bad as the recent home invasion and arrest of British Journalist and human rights activist Sarah Wilkinson was, it is clear something extremely insidious is happening. In this interview with British former Member of Parliament George Galloway, Wilkinson describes the brutality and wanton destructiveness of the home invasion, Gestapo-like (Mossad-like) interrogation and clearly intended state terrorism.

EDITOR—Garland and Laith discuss the latest developments in the Middle East, and Israel’s outrages, now working feverishly to convert the West Bank into another Gaza, a genocide writ large, none of which attracts the criticism of Western “leaders”, who may have hitched their wagon to a vehicle —Zionism—that may eventually accelerate their historical demise. Laith comments that in the current confrontation, the Empire’s navy is no match for the stubborn commitment of the Houthis, Hezbollah, and other members of the Resistance Axis, and that the US and other members of the alliance may have to withdraw from the region or face a severe military and financial setback. Equally interesting, the Zionist fanaticism of Israel may be condemning Jews, in general, to an ugly backlash around the globe, including in the West itself, since, contrary to protestations, it was the millennia-old brutal persecution of Jews in the “West”, culminating in the Nazi horror, that made the idea of a “Jewish haven” an ideal worth pursuing in Palestine.

RAINER SHEA—It’s always been obvious that trying to overthrow Iran’s government the same way Washington overthrew Hussein wouldn’t work, since Iran’s mountainous geography makes a ground invasion completely impractical. And with the shift towards multipolarity, Iran has risen to economic prominence, giving it too much stability for Washington’s color revolution attempts to be effective. Additionally, Iran’s rise has put it in place to threaten the U.S. with economic doom should full war break out, making Washington at risk of experiencing the same crises it subjects others to through its sanctions. Over the last two decades, Iran has also indirectly gained much more military power, since its anti-Zionist resistance partner Hezbollah has become an immensely strong armed force.
