The Siege of Sevastopol during the Second World War is almost unknown in the West.  If most educated Westerners have some knowledge of the battles of Moscow and Stalingrad and of the siege of Leningrad, scarcely any know of the passionate eight-month defence of Sevastopol against overwhelming odds in what was for the Russians the darkest period of the war. 

There are times when this ignorance appears to be the product less of indifference and more of deliberate historical suppression.

For historically-minded Britons words like “Siege of Sevastopol” and “Crimean War” conjure up memories not of the Second World War but of the war the British and French fought in the Crimea against the Russians from 1854 to 1856.

KIM PETERSEN—To a critical viewer, the instigator is obviously the American cat’s paw, Australia. China has not been at war with any country for over 40 years and pledges itself to peace. China is not launching missiles into Afghanistan; it is not occupying Syria and stealing its oil; it is not trying to cripple the economies in Cuba, Iran, and the Democratic Republic of Korea; it is not trying to topple elected governments as the US has done in Haiti and Honduras and is now doing in Venezuela and Nicaragua; it is not siding against legitimate Palestinian resistance to Jewish war crimes; it is not aligned with a Saudi genocide in Yemen; it did not destroy Libya. No, this “meddling” in the affairs of other countries is by the United States — supported by its ally, Australia.

CHRISTOPHER BLACK—Those who are interested in democracy will be hard-pressed to find anywhere on the US State Department website any definition of what “democracy” means to them. It is just a word, a symbol, used to veil the real purpose of the meeting, which is to confirm and support the US Will To World Power against the peoples’ need for a Will To Peace.

Their propaganda is replete with code words for hegemony under the guise of “fighting corruption” –for is not the American government one of the most corrupt, or “fighting authoritarianism”-is not the American system with its heavily armed police that shoot down citizens on the slightest pretext, especially if the citizen is dark-skinned or poor, elections controlled by the ruling elite, its controlled media, economic and social policies that benefit only the capitalists while reducing the working population to penury and desperation-one of the most authoritarian states? What is “democracy” to them? It is nothing more than the worship of form over content. Joe Biden and his Democratic Party are proof of it.

CALEB MAUPIN—Many important facts about China, which the US media (and its mendacious allies in the rest of the Western world) hide and distort, are laid out in this highly interesting and timely conversation between Caleb Maupin and Li JingJing. An hour well spent!  Defeat the empire’s criminal objectives and lies by simply obtaining the truth about these crucial subjects. And be sure to pass it on!

JEFF J. BROWN—The following analysis is an interesting look at a recent event off the shores of China. In any case, the level of Chinese military prowess is so much more advanced than what you see in the West’s Big Lie Propaganda Machine (BLPM), where it is critical for imperial Uncle Sam to project an image of superiority and total global dominance.
