BATIUSHKA—Let us be honest. Either Russia is victorious in this Very Special Operation or else we shall enter a Dark Age, from which there will be no end because it will be an Orwellian One World Government. Such One World Dictatorship will brook no opposition, all who challenge it will be repressed. This is our last chance to resist and strike back against the aggression that began in 1914, aggression that was military, political, economic and cultural, a totalitarian aggression that leads to total death, the death of body and soul. But according to all the military reports, let alone the prophecies, Russia will be victorious.

IAN KUMMER—I’m not an expert on geopolitics by any stretch of the imagination, but I know how to do basic fact checking. Apparently, a large percentage of the American population has forgotten how to do that (assuming they knew how to begin with). But seriously, remember all that sanctimonious noise we were subjected to over the past several years about only accepting information from “credible” sources? Well, nowadays, the western world’s largest media outlets will copy/paste “news” from Ukraine’s defense ministry, or even random .ru blogs, without any attempt to verify it. That said, BBC seems to have gone into James Bond territory. They apparently weren’t content with just being stenographers of war propaganda, but actually go out of their way to synthesize fake news.

Precis: This is the kerfuffle that took place in Zula state (Veneuzela) when Voluntad Popular (see below for more details), a party created by a notorious US-allied reactionary cataloged by the Venezuelan government as a terrorist, Leopoldo Lopez,  tried to stage a rally in support of Juan Guaidó (a partner of Lopez in subversion and tool f the Americans).

From the time of Genghis Khan’s Empire of the Blue Sky, which at one point encompassed Russia, China, Korea, India and Persia (and featured the familiar Russian themes of collective security and obligatory mutual aid) and until the present time Russia has stood alone in its perennial conflict with the West. But now Putin, standing alone, stands a chance of cementing a gigantic international alliance of non-Western nations, comprising the vast majority of the world’s population, an independent and plentiful resource base and well over half of all the economic power.

Even though the prosecution of Clinton attorney Michael Sussman on charges of lying to the FBI resulted in an acquittal, the trial itself brought a great deal of additional information to light about the Clinton campaign’s detailed and intimate involvement in pushing the Trump-Russia hoax and, in many cases, themselves colluding with the FBI in pushing alleged “evidence” of a connection between Russia and Donald Trump. Jimmy and The Grayzone’s Aaron Maté discuss the real story behind the Sussman acquittal that the rest of the media will not tell you.
