BRIAN BERLETIC—Long before headline grabbing protests, color revolutions, armed conflicts and even war, the US spends years laying the groundwork to politically capture a targeted nation. Part of this process involved building up cadres of indoctrinated young people through fellowships and scholarships who eventually work their way into a targeted nation’s media, political system, and academia. The US maintains a large number of programs including its various “Young Leaders Initiatives” folding young people into Western personal and professional networks as well as providing funding for starting pro Western political, media, and educational organizations. These cadres eagerly serve Western interests at the expense of their own nation’s sovereignty and best interests as a means of maintaining their place within the personal and professional networks they were included in through such “exchanges.” Nations can combat this interference by creating their own pipelines through sovereign educational systems, producing journalists, political leaders, administrators and professors who work for their own nation’s best interests, culture, and values.

Cambodia Does Not Owe US Explanation Over Chinese Ties / Russian Forces Return to Kharkov
44 minutes readBRIAN BERLETIC—As is the case with so much regarding Western policy analysis, the conclusion that a Chinese military presence in Cambodia equates to plans to wield military power against other nations in the region is pure projection of what Washington itself is doing across Asia, and would like to do with Cambodia specifically. Washington openly seeks to place military bases across the region, having already signed agreements with the Philippines to do so and already having tens of thousands of US troops stationed in South Korea and Japan. There is also the semi-covert and growing US military presence on the rogue Chinese island province of Taiwan. This military presence is openly being expanded for the purpose of encircling, containing, and even directly confronting and fighting China militarily.

BRIAN BERLETIC—This startling admission exposes the US government as deeply involved in interfering in and subverting the political independence of not one, but multiple, nations in Eastern Europe. The same article admits that the US government achieves this through funds distributed by the National Endowment for Democracy’s (NED) many subsidiaries, (NED is a CIA-created and controlled “NGO”), including the International Republican Institute (IRI), National Democratic Institute (NDI), and Freedom House. It also mentions adjacent private foundations like George Soros’ Open Society Foundation.

New Atlas LIVE: Iran Strikes Back – Tehran Steps into US Trap, is it Prepared? The New Atlas
8 minutes readTHE NEW ATLAS—Brian and Angelo are cautious regarding recent events in the Middle East. They believe the US Hegemon (with Israel’s conscious or objective assist) may be playing intricate and highly devious games to detonate a regionwide conflagration. Hamas, for one thing, may have been chosen by Israel and the US to play a divisive role among Palestinian factions, while maintaining the image of a fanatical anti-Israeli threat, eventually even allowing Oct. 7 attacks to permit Israel and the US to flatten Gaza, and provoke Iran and other members of the anti-Zionist/imperialist alliance to step in, thereby justifying, again a reasonable “response” that would destroy Iran and the forces resisting Western hegemony. In that sense, Oct 7 would be analogous to 9/11, a pretext to launch a vast imperialist campaign.

US Artillery Capabilities Fall Victim to “Profit Over Purpose,” No Solution in Sight
17 minutes readBRIAN BERLETIC—Washington’s problems continue to stem from its private industry-dominated military industrial base, which favors profits over purpose and performance, preferring small numbers of expensive weapon systems over large volumes of simple but effective equipment.
After abandoning the US Army’s own ERCA prototype, it is now investigating existing systems like Israel’s Elbit Systems Autonomous Truck Mounted Ordnance System (ATMOS) Iron Sabre, as well as systems produced by the UK’s BAE, France’s Nexter, and others.
