ERIC ZUESSE—[Quoting}—The United States is now the only Government that continues to donate weapons to Israel’s Government. The extermination-program is being carried out by the troops, who come from Israel, and by the bombs, bullets, tanks, and planes, which come from America. Though U.S. President Biden has recently threatened to stop supplying this equipment, it still hasn’t happened; and a retired Israeli general said “All of our missiles, the ammunition, the precision-guided bombs, all the airplanes and bombs, it’s all from the U.S. The minute they turn off the tap, you can’t keep fighting. You have no capability. … Everyone understands that we can’t fight this war without the United States. Period.”

ERIC ZUESSE—n May 11th, CNN published a harrowing report based on satellite photos, courageous Israeli whistleblowers, and some surviving Gazans, describing various forms of torture by Israel’s Government, against captured Gazans. Since the report was badly written and edited, it failed to say anything about why they had been selected for torture, but, even if all of them were from the 20 thousand or so members of the strictly Palestinian organization Hamas (though some of these torture-victims were doctors from Indonesia and other Muslim countries and were otherwise not credible to have been members of Hamas), Israel here is committing international-war crimes.

ERIC ZUESSE—So: a person’s circumstances tend to determine which club that person belongs to. The Democratic National Committee and the Republican National Committee both are clubs, and they both pretend to represent their voters, but actually they do not and never have. They represent the mega-donors who fund it. The billionaires who fund the Republican Party put up candidates who pretend to represent the self-interest of their voters, whereas the billionaires who fund the Democratic Party put up candidates who pretend to represent the nation’s interest.

ERIC ZUESSE—A major proponent of imperialism has been the U.S. mega-billionaire George Soros, whose Open Society Foundations had 226 (out of the 751) “Reliable allies in the European Parliament (2014 – 2019)”. In March 2022, the EU Parliament issued a 75-page statement, “The role of values in the EU’s external policies”, allying itself with America’s Government, and opposing itself to “autocracies” such as Russia and China; so, reinforcing the bifurcation between, on the one hand, the U.S.-and-‘allied’ bloc, of ‘democracies’, and, on the other, Russia, China, and other ‘autocracies’. Soros also has virtually owned, ever since 2 June 1994, the CIA-created Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL), but started, on 4 September 2023, divesting himself of it.

ERIC ZUESSE—Immediately after Obama’s coup that grabbed Ukraine, his installed new government there began its ethnic-cleansing so as to get rid of enough millions of Ukrainians who had voted for the neutralist (neither pro-American nor pro-Russian) Ukrainian President whom Obama had overthrown, in order to enable the new, pro-U.S.-Government regime in Ukraine to be able to continue on, through ‘democratic’ elections, in which all candidates would be anti-Russian. And that has brought us to today in Ukraine. Russia finally invaded Ukraine on 24 February 2022, in order to prevent that Cuban-Missile-Crisis-in-reverse (an enemy’s nuclear missile being positioned only 5 minutes away from decapitating Russia’s central command) from happening.
