A wide-ranging discussion of the political situation in the US, the deepening crisis and corruption, outrageous inequality, alarming paralysis and ineptitude, the options for true challengers to the status quo, and the efforts of the establishment to put out the fires by all the usual methods, from censorship and disinformation to outright repression.
This is a very special documentary by a gifted filmmaker, recounting the origins of the war in Ukraine, its Nazi infestation, NATO’s intrigues, and other subjects normally avoided or distorted by Western commentators.
Brian Berletic discusses the most recent developments in the Ukraine war, especially the Donbass front, noting that the Western disinformation on Russia’s achievements, morale and intentions continues, albeit a somewhat more realistic tone has appeared, probably to prepare the Western public for the reality of a major defeat in the near future.
RUSSELL BENTLEY—To be silent about these crimes is to be complicit in them, to encourage them. And Western silence did encourage them, because less than a week later, on the evening of June 4th, 2022, ukrop nazi bombers struck Donetsk again, this time at six schools – the same 3 schools they had attacked on May 30th, plus three more, again, with pinpoint accuracy, again, with the heaviest artillery in their arsenals, again, specifically targeting schools. And again, not a peep from the Western mainstream press or the millions of US and EU idiots and assholes with Ukrainian flags and slogans on their social media. So, again with their complicity and encouragement…
DIANA JOHNSTONE—In former Yugoslavia, and especially in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Western NGOs have found a justifying role for themselves alongside NATO. They gain funding and prestige from the situation. Local employees of Western NGOs gain political and financial advantages over other local people, and “democracy” is not the people’s choice but whatever meets with the approval of outside donors. This breeds arrogance among the outside benefactors, and cynicism among local people, who have the choice between opposing the outsiders or seeking to manipulate them. It is an unhealthy situation, and some of the most self-critical are aware of the dangers.
Perhaps the most effectively arrogant NGO in regard to former Yugoslavia is the Vienna office of Human Rights Watch/Helsinki. On September 18, 1997, that organization issued a long statement announcing in advance that the Serbian elections to be held three days later “will be neither free nor fair.”
