Only Adult Children Still Believe U.S. Propaganda →

EDWARD J CURTIN—Many good writers – all of whom are banned from mainstream media – have made clear why the corporate media propaganda about the US/NATO war against Russia via Ukraine is false and egregiously dangerous. The government of the U.S.A. is led by morons in the demonic grip of the “The U.S. Should Rule the World” ideology. It is nothing new. I don’t wish to debate the facts, for that is a fool’s game created to suggest there is something to debate. For the evidence is clear, except to the public in the grip of propaganda-induced ignorance or those elites who never learned from the ancient Greek goddess Nemesis that dark Furies will destroy those who in their hubris push the limits.

Land of False Idols: Ben Bradlee’s Not Such ‘A Good Life’ (Part 2) →

JAMES DiEUGENIO—Broder was so much of an insider that he began collecting hefty lecture fees from industry groups and then lobbied Congress on behalf of at least one of those groups, even though this was a clear violation of the Post’s editorial policy. He then appears to have lied about it by saying it was cleared in advance. (Harper’s, June 12, 2008). By hiring Broder and then maintaining the columnist as a fixture at the Post for over four decades, Bradlee not only showed what kind of protect-the-Establishment journalism he valued but that he was blind to the media future that was just over the horizon.

PATRICK LAWRENCE: The Strong, and the Merely Powerful →

PATRICK LAWRENCE—The rampant, perverse corporatization of every aspect of life in unduly powerful nations represents the institutionalization of these characteristics. When everything is measured according to its potential to turn profit, we have to say that Margaret Thatcher was horribly right when she asserted, “There is no society. There are only individuals.” This is a key feature of nations that are merely powerful. They are gatherings of survivors in constant struggle against one another. Read more…
The Narrative That This War Was “Unprovoked” Prevents Peace →

CAITLIN JOHNSTONE—But what does it mean if the war is “unprovoked”? It means Putin didn’t invade Ukraine because of anything the western empire was doing, so it couldn’t have been prevented by the western empire behaving less aggressively on Russia’s borders. It means Putin necessarily invaded because he is some kind of evil lunatic who loves to commit war crimes, or a megalomaniacal tyrant who wants to conquer the world because he hates freedom and democracy. Which means he will keep attacking and invading other countries unless he can be stopped. Which means the only answer to the Putin problem is more war. Read more…
OPEN LETTER TO CONGRESS CONCERNING UKRAINE NUCLEAR RISK — SEN. RICHARD BLACK (RET.) →

Col. RICHARD BLACK—Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, and Clinton all approached nuclear confrontation with utmost caution. But the Obama administration changed course when it recklessly overthrew the Ukrainian government in 2014 and flooded Ukraine with weapons aimed at Russia. It did so knowing that it was threatening Russia’s most vital national interest: the defense of its territory against nuclear aggression. Read more…
Germany and EU have been handed over a declaration of war →

PEPE ESCOBAR—Now it’s painfully clear the imperial velvet gloves are off when it comes to the vassals. EU independence: verboten. Cooperation with China: verboten. Independent trade connectivity with Asia: verboten. The only place for the EU is to be economically subjugated to the US: a tawdry remix of 1945-1955. With a perverse neoliberal twist: we will own your industrial capacity, and you will have nothing. Read more…
SEARCHLIGHT: The World on the Brink of War / A Roundup of Insightful Commentary →

MoA, so far, provides the most comprehensive and impressive overview of this entire sordid affair, so if you want to learn all the pertinent facts, which are, indeed, sensational, as befits an act liable to go down in history as a turning point, pay a visit. Nothing like this is liable to appear now or in the near future in the whore Western mainstream press, busily selling you cynical US disinformation. Read more…
The US Empire Is Accelerating Toward Global Conflict On Two Fronts →

CAITLIN JOHNSTONE—“In the last 50 days, the executive and legislative branches in Washington have done more than in the last 50 years to convince China that America’s imperial policy is simply relentless, and must be met with force,” Corbley writes. “That’s not to say it’s by any means a given that the People’s Republic of China will invade its cross-straits neighbor of Taiwan, but that is to say that if strategic planners in Washington sat down and created a bulleted list of how to facilitate such an invasion, they would have probably gone through all the bullets by now.” Read more…
By Gonzalo Lira (Coach Red Pill): Who Is Zelensky? A Puppet Of Jewish Oligarch Ihor Valeriyovych Kolomoyskyi →

EDITOR—The State Dept. was apparently forced to ban Ihor Kolomoyskyy from America's shores, since the man is so outrageously corrupt he even gives a bad name to Ukraine, which Washington is trying to sell as an exemplary democracy. A State Department press release signed by ANTONY J. BLINKEN, SECRETARY OF STATE, and dated March 5, 2021, confirms it. So Lira is certainly not blowing bubbles here. Read more…
Empire of Lies Christens the New World Order. Part I of II: Overthrow Russia →

RON RIDENOUR—In October, soldiers and civilians demonstrated and collided on the streets. Pro-Yeltsin demonstrators removed police cordons around the parliament, took over the mayor’s offices and tried to storm the Ostankino television center. Initially, most of the army declared neutrality. Some backed the parliament, but most generals did not want to take chances. On the morning of October 4, under Yeltsin’s orders, generals instructed soldiers to storm the Supreme Soviet building. By noon, troops occupied the White House, and arrested the leaders of the legal resistance. The “second October Revolution”, as some called it, was much more deadly than in October 1917. According to government estimates, 187 people were killed and 437 wounded. Non-governmental sources put the death toll as high as 2,000. Many of the deaths, including legislators, occurred when Yeltsin ordered the parliament bombed. Read more…
Establishment smear merchants The Daily Beast, Rolling Stone and their perceptible intelligence ties →

Somehow, the powers that run The Daily Beast decided to recruit, as its editor-in-chief, this oddball with his admiration for covert activities, electronic surveillance, killer drones, high-tech weaponry, celebrity generals and cloak-and-dagger cyber ops. Before long, the news site was receiving acclaim for breaking key stories that supported the CIA’s pet narratives, including Russia’s involvement with planting “fake news” during the 2016 election process.

Chris Hedges: Monarchs Belong in the Dustbin of History →

CHRIS HEDGES—Monarchy obscures the crimes of empire and wraps them in nostalgia. It exalts white supremacy and racial hierarchy. It justifies class rule. It buttresses an economic and social system that callously discards and often consigns to death those considered the lesser breeds, most of whom are people of color. The queen’s husband Prince Phillip, who died in 2021, was notorious for making racist and sexist remarks, politely explained away in the British press as “gaffes.” He described Beijing, for example, as “ghastly” during a 1986 visit and told British students: “If you stay here much longer you’ll all be slitty-eyed.” Read more…
