ERIC ZUESSE—The U.S. and its allies — in this case mainly the Saud family who own Saudi Arabia — are systematically blocking food from reaching tens of millions of people, Houthis, who live in Yemen and are surrounded by the U.S. alliance’s engines of death.

The French Revolution – Part 1 – English subtitles (La Révolution française – Les Années Lumières)
3 minutes readAn ambitious pan-European/Canadian production involving Germany, France, Britain, Canada, etc., spanning the most dramatic decades of the French revolution, from the convening of the Etats Generaux due to the munting national debt, to the years of turmoil and terror for royalists and revolutionists alike. Reputed by all critics to be highly accurate and fair to all political viewpoints. Definitely worth viddying at home, as the 2 parts span more than 5 hours, and could thus be regarded as a mini-series.
