CIA Admits Feeding Americans False Info About Ukraine
Late last year, a Gallup poll showed that Americans’ trust in the mainstream media has fallen to its second lowest level on record. Only seven percent of Americans responded that they have a “great deal” of trust in the media.That loss of trust has been well-earned by the mainstream media, and it explains the massive growth of independent...
NATO Planning Massive Military Buildup Along Russia’s Border
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization is in the middle of a “fundamental transformation” and planning a massive military buildup along Russian borders. Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said NATO will undergo a major “reset” and plans to put enough troops in states that border Russia to repel an invasion. The alliance currently has 40,000...
The ‘Rules-Based International Order’ Is Dead. Washington Killed It.
The lack of self-awareness among the many American officials who are striking a moralistic pose in opposition to the Russian invasion of Ukraine is striking. For example, Foreign Policy has published a column by Col. Yevgeny Vindman, asking how the world can tolerate a country like Russia on the United Nations Security Council. His specific point...
US Officials Admit They’re Literally Just Lying To The Public About Russia
NBC News has a new report out citing multiple anonymous US officials, humorously titled “In a break with the past, U.S. is using intel to fight an info war with Russia, even when the intel isn’t rock solid”. The officials say the Biden administration has been rapidly pushing out “intelligence” about Russia’s...
Ukraine War Frenzy Proves: It’s Still John McCain’s GOP
“The senator from Kentucky is now working for Vladimir Putin,” fumed John McCain back in March 2017. His target: Rand Paul, who had committed the unforgivable offense of momentarily delaying the latest round of NATO expansion. Montenegro, a tiny country in southeastern Europe that most Americans have never heard of, was about to join the...
The Military Situation In The Ukraine
Part One: The Road To WarFor years, from Mali to Afghanistan, I have worked for peace and risked my life for it. It is therefore not a question of justifying war, but of understanding what led us to it. I notice that the “experts” who take turns on television analyze the situation on the basis of dubious information, most often hypotheses erected...
Will the Populist Right Change Foreign Policy Discussions in America?
Since Donald Trump was elected in 2016, populist currents have swept across the American Right. The failed nation-building enterprises launched by the Bush administration and continued by the succeeding Obama administration sowed the seeds for a non-interventionist reaction on the Right. Throughout modern American political history there has...
Top US General: Build More Permanent Bases In Europe!
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Gen. Milley, told Congress that NATO needs to build more permanent bases on Russia’s border in response to the Ukraine conflict and that the conflict will last years. More US troops on Russia’s borders will act as a “deterrent.” The military-industrial-Congressional complex is no-doubt...
The Warfare State’s Infinitely Mendacious Echo Chamber
It all starts with the number $813 billion, the Biden national defense budget for FY 2023. That number is so hideously—nay, grotesquely—large that it is the inherent fount of the war fevers, Russophobia and sweeping disinformation that now gushes from the Washington war machine and its auxiliaries in the mainstream media. The fact is, never...
Biden Wants All the Points Due a Wartime President without Actually Going to War
The view that war is politics by other means, the realist idea nations pursue strategic goals with some sort of calculation behind them, is not for us. Americans must reduce everything to good versus evil, democracy versus autocracy, light versus dark. Leaders throughout history have sold wars with this B.S.; America’s problem is we seem to...
