Revenge of the Putin-Nazis!

by CJ Hopkins via Consent Factory And they’re back! It’s like one of those 1960s Hammer Film Productions horror-movie series with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee … Return of the Putin-Nazis! Revenge of the Putin-Nazis! Return of the Revenge of the Bride of the Putin-Nazis! And this time they are not horsing around with stealing elections from Hillary Clinton […]

“The Empire of Lies”

by Paul Craig Roberts via Institute for Political Economy In the past two years we have seen that the Western peoples are more badly and more corruptly led than any people in previous history.  The peoples were deceived about a “Covid pandemic” that was entirely an orchestration. Yes, the virus existed, but the “pandemic” was […]

Is Putin the New Coronavirus?

by Ron Paul via Ron Paul Institute President Biden’s “maskless” State of the Union signifies the near-end of the COVID tyranny we have lived under for the past two years. Fortunately for Congress, the President, and the Federal Reserve, the Ukraine-Russia conflict is replacing COVID as a ready-made excuse for their failures and a justification […]

UFC Fighter Bryce Mitchell Drops a Truth Bomb

Wow! This is excellent. During a pre-fight interview, UFC rising star Bryce Mitchell gives an honest and unfiltered opinion on the Ukraine-Russia conflict that is more informed than most corporate media pundits. Bryce, an Arkansas native, knows something doesn’t smell right, and he ain’t taking our politicians’ bait. Smart young man. Respect. From Glenn Greenwald, […]

Paul Craig Roberts: Ukrainian Update #5

by Paul Craig Roberts via Institute for Political Economy This morning I am going to play Armchair General.  I will say upfront that I have little doubt, unless the Kremlin changes its mind, the Russian military operation in Ukraine will be successful, but not the success it could have been.  I also admit upfront that whereas I […]

Is a Russia-NATO Clash Over Ukraine Ahead?

by Patrick J. Buchanan via Buchanan.org Ukraine’s independence is not vital to the United States. While a desirable goal, it is not worth our fighting a war with Russia to preserve…. Indeed, had we given Putin assurances that NATO was closed to Kyiv, we might have prevented what has happened, because that was the first […]

Focus on What Matters. It Is Not in the Ukraine

By Allan Stevo via LewRockwell.com I have never said to you “Pay attention to Sacramento, Springfield, Lansing, or Harrisburg, without first taking care of your face, your home, and your community.” And you know what, I can promise you this much — your face, your home, and your community are not all being well handled. […]

Hypocrisy – Is the West the Pot Calling the Kettle Black?

How malleable, ignorant, clueless, and downright hypocritical are the Western masses? If US government is interested in defending any border, perhaps it should start with its own. After the endless lies and propaganda used to manufacture consent for our disastrous pursuits in Afghanistan, Iraq, Kosovo, Libya, and Syria, why would anyone now believe the drivel […]

It All Comes Back to NATO

by Ron Paul via Ron Paul Institute When the Bush Administration announced in 2008 that Ukraine and Georgia would be eligible for NATO membership, I knew it was a terrible idea. Nearly two decades after the end of both the Warsaw Pact and the Cold War, expanding NATO made no sense. NATO itself made no […]

Paul Craig Roberts: Ukraine Update #3

by Paul Craig Roberts via Institute for Political Economy Begin by reading Michael Hudson’s explanation that the sanctions actually fall on Germany and serve the interests of the three interest groups who rule in Washington. https://www.unz.com/mhudson/america-defeats-germany-for-the-third-time-in-a-century/   The sanctions do far more to serve Washington’s interest than to hurt Russia’s.  For Russia the main burden […]

Keep US Out of War

by Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr. via LewRockwell.com Events in Ukraine are happening very fast, and if I tried to predict what will happen there, my prediction would soon be overtaken by events. But one thing is certain. We need to understand the background of the crisis, and we also need to remember the basic principles […]

Paul Craig Roberts: Ukraine Update #2

by Paul Craig Roberts via Institute for Political Economy The function of the Western media is to turn fiction into fact and lie into truth. Once the narrative is established, it is repeated endlessly.  I worked hard yesterday to give my readers a true account of the situation.  Today I will update the military situation […]

Map Explainer: Key Facts About Ukraine

by Bruno Venditti and Nick Routley via Visual Capitalist Map Explainer: Key Facts About Ukraine The modern state of Ukraine was formed nearly 30 years ago after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Since then, the country has often made headlines due to political instability and the looming threat of a Russian invasion. […]

Ukraine: The Propaganda Wars

by Daniel McAdams via Ron Paul Institute The media and the war machine (or do I repeat myself?) want us to take sides in the Russo/Ukraine war. To those of us with long histories in military conflicts in which the US foreign policy establishment, media, and military have an interest, the terms are always framed […]
