THE SAKER—The West, which despises and hates the Ukrainians almost as much as it hates the Russians was delighted to see the hated Ukrainians and the hated Russians killing each other (well, mostly Russians doing the killing). Furthermore, being military incompetent, the leaders of the West apparently believed that supplying weapons, money, instructors, and special forces to the Ukrainians could, if not turn the tide, slow down Russia enough to create fear, uncertainty, and doubts in the Russian public opinion.

NATHAN RICH—Where did the “Two Chinas” idea come from, and why did the US threaten China with nuclear war over Taiwan? And is the US really interested in protecting Taiwan and securing democracy? In this video, Nathan Rich, a recognised independent China expert, delves deeply into the history of the US-Taiwan relationship and the usually obfuscated motives Washington has to keep meddling in the island affairs.

ERIC ZUESSE—After World War II ended, the U.S. regime slaughtered or assisted in slaughtering, between 1945 and 2007 (and not even counting more recently, such as in Syria and Yemen), “between 20 and 30 million people in wars and conflicts scattered over the world”. (This count also doesn’t include the numbers, such as in Iraq after the 1990 war, which died as a result of U.S.-initiated sanctions against countries that America’s billionaires wanted to bring under their control that weren’t yet under their control.)
There is every indication that the U.S. regime is even planning to ‘win’ a nuclear war against Russia if America’s preparation of a U.S.-led NATO Operation Barbarossa II (successor to Hitler’s plan) against Russia fails to materialize like they hope it will.

Several people who served with the special force unit said that SAS squadrons were competing with each other to get the most kills. Wang cited statistics as saying that between 2003 and 2008, thousands of Iraqi civilians were abused by British soldiers in ways such as detention, beating, humiliation, sexual assaults and even murder.
The US’ track record was even more abhorrent. Over the past 20 years, the US launched more than 90,000 air strikes on countries including Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria, claiming as many as 48,000 civilian lives. Farmers harvesting in the fields, children playing on the streets, families fleeing from wars and villagers hiding inside buildings all became US troops’ targets. (This does not include the massive crimes committed in Vietnam, Korea and other parts of Asia, Africa and Latin America).

The Online Safety Bill, described as an “Orwellian censorship machine” by the Open Rights Group, would grant powers to ministers to censor legal content. It requires all online communications – public and private — to be monitored for “harmful content” and undermines encryption of private messenger apps like WhatsApp and Signal.
MOHAMED ELMAAZI—“The Online Safety Bill creates a carve-out for news media organizations (defined as ‘news publishers’) who are registered with the Independent Press Standards Organisation or IMPRESS or Ofcom in the case of broadcasters,” said Monica Horten, policy manager for freedom of expression at the Open Rights Group.
