The truth will out.
by Ryan McMaken via Mises.org The US Army reports it is having some serious problems when it comes to recruiting new soldiers. Last month, according to the AP: “Army officials … said the service will fall about 10,000 soldiers short of its planned end strength for this fiscal year, and prospects for next year are grimmer.” The […]
by Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr. via LewRockwell.com All rational Americans agree that we shouldn’t get involved in the Russia-Ukraine War. The neocon warmongers with brain dead Biden as their figurehead want to destroy Russia, and they are willing to risk nuclear war to do it. But this doesn’t negate what I’ve just said. These monsters […]
by Dr. Joseph Mercola STORY AT-A-GLANCE According to Russian officials, the U.S. government has been financing and helping Ukraine develop a secret bioweapons program According to the U.S. government, they’ve been working with Ukraine to “eliminate” bioweapons left over from the Soviet era. This was then changed to: The U.S. is helping “secure” former Soviet […]
by Dr. Joseph Mercola STORY AT-A-GLANCE Ukraine’s rich land has historically been used as a pathway for Western powers as they attempted to conquer the East As a result, Ukraine, being surrounded by greater powers on all sides, had to master the art of changing sides The Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN), founded in 1929, […]
by Ryan McMaken via Mises.org American policy makers have shown a surprising about of sanity so far in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. While some war enthusiasts among the American punditry have certainly been agitating for World War III, the leadership in both the White House and Congress has repeatedly and straightforwardly refused most calls […]
by Ron Paul via Ron Paul Institute Previewing President Biden’s trip to Europe last week, US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said that, “the president is traveling to Europe to make sure we stay united.” That sure didn’t go as planned. This may have been the most disastrous – and dangerous – Presidential overseas trip […]
by Dr. Joseph Mercola STORY AT-A-GLANCE We’re being hit with one crisis after another, but there’s nothing “organic” or natural about these crises. They seem manufactured and intentional because they all strengthen, support and further the technocratic plan for a Great Reset Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, has relaxed its hate speech […]
by Vasko Kohlmayer via LewRockwell.com On Thursday, March 24, the Russian government held a press conference in which it presented evidence that Hunter Biden, the disgraced son of American president Joe Biden, helped to finance bioweapons research in Ukraine. Hunter’s untoward activity took place in 2014. The proof comes from emails and other forms of […]
by Ryan McMaken via Mises.org It is becoming increasingly apparent that isolating Russia and totally cutting it off from the global economy is not going to be easy. As I discussed last week, from Mexico to Brazil to China to India and much of Africa, the world is resisting Washington’s call to treat Russia as a pariah […]
by CJ Hopkins via Consent Factory Warm up the Wagnerian orchestra and call in the goose-stepping chorus girls, because … yes, that’s right, it’s Springtime for GloboCap! “The Winter of Severe Illness and Death” is over! The big Black Sun is shining again! God’s in his heaven, all’s right with the world! OK, sure, the […]
by Ryan McMaken via Mises.org President Biden on Thursday made two big admissions about the US-led economic sanctions on Russia. The first is that the sanctions will lead to food shortages for many countries other than Russia, and that this is simply the price that Americans ought to be forced to pay. The second admission […]
by Vasko Kohlmayer via LewRockwell.com In his recent appearance on Face the Nation, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell told Margaret Brennan: “The Ukrainians have killed more Russians in three weeks than we lost in Afghanistan and Iraq in 20 years. I think we ought to go into this believing the Ukrainians can actually win. And […]
by Llewellyn H. Rockwell Jr. via Mises.org Few people today ask the most important question about the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Many people want America to stay out of the fight, but even they don’t ask the vital question. Why does the world face a crisis today? Why has a border dispute between Russia […]
by Ryan McMaken via Mises.org There is an active, influential, and well-paid minority of pundits and politicians in America who apparently believe that escalating conflict between nuclear powers—and even nuclear war itself—is not really that big a deal. These, of course, are the sorts of people who fancy themselves “the adults in the room,” while […]
by Ryan McMaken via Mises.org With proponents of military intervention and war, it’s always 1938, and every attempt to substitute diplomacy for escalation and war is “appeasement.” Last week, for example, Ukrainian legislator Lesia Vasylenko accused Western leaders of appeasement during Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, stating, “This is the same as 1938 when also the world and […]
Russian economic sanctions are by no means as surgical or precise as the Biden Administration would hope. Sanctions on Russia will negatively impact the United States. There will be blowback. Brace yourself. From Zero Hedge, Several weeks ago, when Biden instituted a wholesale ban on Russian energy exports, he explicitly carved out Russian uranium suppliers […]
by Adam Dick via Ron Paul Institute Many Congress members in Washington, DC are loudly proclaiming their support for the United States government continuing and even increasing its support for the Ukraine government’s fight against Russia. In contrast, former US House of Representatives member Ron Paul is arguing, as he did when he was a […]
In this interview Ukrainian-American Veronika Kyrlenko provides some excellent insights on Ukraine and its relationship with Russia. Veronika is a journalist with The New American and holds a PhD in Political Science. She also professes a strong passion for personal freedom and individual responsibility. From The New American, Most Americans know very little about Ukraine. […]
If you are searching for an excellent non-corporate media perspective on what led to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, I highly recommend Oliver Stone’s 2016 documentary Ukraine on Fire. You are simply not going to find this kind of historical information on the mainstream media outlets. It doesn’t fit inside the Overton Window. Curiously, Stone’s documentary sat […]
by Doug Casey via International Man International Man: Prior to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, we discussed the rising tensions between the US and Russia over Ukraine. What is your take on what has transpired since then? Doug Casey: I think it makes sense first to recount the genesis of this war. It started when an American-backed […]
by Paul Craig Roberts via Institute for Political Economy Is it Washington or the Kremlin which is the most confused about sanctions and their impact? Washington and Europe have made it very clear that sanctions do not apply to payments for Russian energy and minerals. Only the US has banned the import of Russian gas […]
via GEFIRA.org The collective post-West has been running amok for the last two weeks. The powers that be make believe that they did not expect that events would unfold the way they are unfolding now (though they did their best to make things happen as they are happening) and they make a show imposing sanctions […]
by Eric Margolis via Ron Paul Institute The brazenly biased western media is giving us the impression that the Ukraine fighting is some sort of sports competition. Russia’s media, now shamefully silenced in the west by the banning of Russia Today and Sputnik News, portrays the so far modest war in Ukraine as a renewed […]
by Ron Paul via Ron Paul Institute As the Russian invasion of Ukraine moves past its third week, there are slight hopes that negotiations between the two sides may soon produce a ceasefire. But with the shrill warmongering talk in Washington, it almost seems like the US government would hate to see that happen. Congress […]
by Tyler Durden via Zero Hedge A surprising op-ed in MSNBC arguing that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was likely “preventable” if the US and NATO had merely tried to take a path of muscular diplomacy and potential compromise appears to have slipped passed the mainstream media censors and gate-keepers. Since the start of the Thursday Feb.24 invasion, […]
