Zelensky Told Americans That His Country Should Be More Important To Them Than Their Own

In April 1965, U.S. President Lyndon Baines Johnson (LBJ) explained why he was escalating US involvement in Vietnam. With an Orwellian touch, LBJ titled the speech “Peace without Conquest” as he announced the beginning of US air attacks on Vietnam. He explained that “We must fight if we are to […]
Post-American World, Post-Ukrainian Geopolitics (I)

The Ukrainian crisis and its impending outcome suggest a new quality of geopolitics since the indirect participation of the United States in this conflict leads to a defeat for Kiev, a defeat for the United […]
Chaff Candidates: The Race For The UK Tory Leadership

Russia Teaches Europe ABC Of Gas Trade

All Mainstream ‘News’-Media In U.S. Are Propaganda-Agencies
America’s CIA was created in 1947; and, then, in 1948, the CIA’s “Operation Mockingbird” was started, to control, within the United States, all ‘news’-reporting about international matters.
