JEREMY KUZMAROV—Analysts in Washington and Europe are of the belief that the explosion may offer a glimpse of technological weaknesses in Russia’s new arms program. The deeper concern, however, should be of the perilous consequences of the new Cold War and arms race that is developing between the United States and Russia.

Violent Protests In Hong Kong Reach Their Last Stage
42 minutes readMoA—The protesters now use the same violent methods that were used in the Maidan protests in the Ukraine. The U.S. seems to hope that China will intervene and create a second Tianamen scene. That U.S. color revolution attempt failed but was an excellent instrument to demonize China. A repeat in Hong Kong would allow [the US] to declare a “clash of civilization” and increase ‘western’ hostility against China.

The CIA effort to give China a second “Tienanmen” continue unabated. Months of instractable and carefully managed violent protests are finally yielding the images coveted by the Western media to “prove” Beijing’s brutality.

Heroic Chelsea Manning continues to languish in jail, while accumulating a ludicrous amount of debt, imposed by a fascist judge clearly abusing the intent of the law, and with the ignoble motive to force Chealsea to turn on Julian Assange. Meanwhile, the Democratic party—from “leaders” to rank and file—remains silent and largely absent from this battle. Shame!

ERIC ZUESSE—The U.S. regime’s sanctions against Venezuelans were aimed at producing such distress amongst the population so as to cause them not to vote for Maduro. It didn’t work. The sanctions had the intended effect of distressing Venezuelans, but this deprivation drove so many of the most anti-Maduro Venezuelans to leave the country so that the sanctions failed to force the expected “regime change.” It drove too many of his enemies out. The U.S. regime is therefore trying even-stronger measures to grab the country. Trump is dictating to Venezuela that “the dictatorship must end.” He has even chosen the person, Guaido, who is to replace the current nationally elected President, whom the U.S. regime has long been trying to oust.
