Jackson covers a topic of massive interest that has been almost entirely swept under the rug by the American media: the growing unrest in Europe as a result of the sanctions blowback triggered by Western proxy war on Russia. The few exceptions include Bloomberg and the Wall Sreet Journal, as the business press is obligated to present the world’s news, and as much truth as possible, to the business class. Notably, the VoA (Voice of America), which aims its news to foreign publics, including Europeans, reported on this, as it presumed they already knew about it, or would know soon, since their own media would not miss such a development without losing total credibility. Another exception to the blatant blackout and downplay on this event was provided by online news channel CRUX, owned and staffed by Indian nationals.

CAITLIN JOHNSTONE—China’s response to Pelosi’s provocation has thankfully been relatively measured, though we’re about to see Taiwan fully encircled by the Chinese navy for a show of force unlike anything we’ve seen in decades, and Chinese sanctions upon Taiwanese commerce are still being announced. There will be political pressure in Beijing to escalate tensions with the US so as not to look weak, and the intensity of the new cold war has certainly been ratcheted up a notch, but when it comes to hot war it looks like humanity’s better angels have prevailed for now.

The US-NATO war in Ukraine must be stopped!
13 minutes readANDRE DAMON—Not one of the crisis-ridden and despised governments leading the war effort, whether that of Biden, Johnson, Scholz or Macron, campaigned on the basis of starting a new world war. In the torrent of propaganda aiming to demonize Russia, the public has never been provided with a serious explanation as to its causes, aims and implications.
The war is justified with lies, because its aims are indefensible. -
It’s elementary common sense for Finland to AVOID joining the NATO bloc, says the Finnish Bolshevik. You don;t have to be a Marxist or an anti-imperialist to arrive at that conclusion. First NATO can’t protect inland in an all-out war with Russia. And EVEN if NATO were to prevail in that war—a big IF—Finland would likely be destroyed.

MSNBC Host: “Higher Gas Prices Save Ukrainian Lives!”
8 minutes readMSNBC host [and professional presstitute] Ali Velshi claims he’s anti-war, but you wouldn’t know it to hear what he says about the Ukraine conflict. During a recent show Velshi insisted that Russian oil is laced with blood (unlike oil from, says, Saudi Arabia), and that Americans should be willing to pay higher prices at the pump if it means keeping money out of Vladimir Putin’s blood-soaked hands. Jimmy and American comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the various problems with Velshi’s line of thinking.
