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.

Tucker Carlson & other rightwingers are now drawing the line against the DHS push to criminalise thought
4 minutes readWhile the fake left applauds and cheers the establishment of a truly Orwellian department to police thought crimes, it is rightwingers like Tucker Carlson and even the despicable jingo-exceptionalist Sean Hannity, or, hard to believe, Ron DeSantis, who step forth to defend the First Amendment. The real left of course still has some powerful voices—Jimmy Dore, Max Blumenthal, Caleb Maupin, Caitlin Johnstone, Fiorella Isabel, Margaret Kimberley, Danny Haiphong, Jeff J. Brown, Jay Janson, Ed Curtin—to name a few in that distinguished and brave handful— but they lack the heavy-duty megaphones the enemies of humanity enjoy.

EDWARD J CURTIN—The Russian President Vladimir Putin and its Foreign Secretary Sergei Lavrov have just warned the U.S. that such involvement has made nuclear war a “serious” and “real” risk, in Lavrov’s words “we must not underestimate it,” which is a mild form of diplomatic speech. Putin said that Russia has made all the preparations to respond if it senses a strategic threat to Russia and that response will be “instant, it will be quick.” The U.S. response is to shrug these statements off, just as it has done so for many years with Putin’s complaints about NATO forces moving up to its border. Incredibly, Biden has said, “For God’s sake, this man (Putin) cannot remain in power.”
