BRIAN BERLETIC—US use of terrorism to advance foreign policy objectives is based on decades of evidence and includes support for militants in Afghanistan against the Soviet Union, Chechen separatists inside Russia in the 1990s and 2000s, and Al Qaeda and ISIS in Syria from against Syrian, Iranian, and Russian forces. More recently, US foreign policymakers have laid out plans to use listed terrorist organizations as proxies to carry out attacks in targeted nations like Iran and Pakistan. Ukraine has already carried out an extensive terror campaign aimed at Russian civilians deep within Russian territory including in Belgorod, St. Petersburg, and Moscow. US media admits collaboration between US intelligence and Ukrainian intelligence from 2014 onward while also admitting Ukraine has carried out a number of attacks on civilians inside Russia including Darya Dugina and Vladen Tatarsky. US media also admits that despite the US claiming to have warned Russia of an impending terrorist attack, information was withheld due to the “adversarial relationship” between the US and Russia.

THE SEE-SAW OF WORLD EVENTS IS BRINGING A NEW DAWN FOR ALL OF US
43 minutes readAEARNUR—What has led to this is a series of both enormous errors and egregious crimes by the collective west by which I mean the USA, UK and their allies/proxies and puppet nations.
The desire to obtain hegemonic global rule and oversight by those above have brought them to venture over the brink of disaster and we find them now plunging helpless into the abyss, their own self-created abyss.
The hubris of the USA has been a continual feature of its totally arrogant and misplaced pride as it has proceeded to bully all those who presented a challenge to its demanded authority.

“It’s Not About Trump”: American CJ Hopkins, Charged Again in Germany, Describes Global Censorship Effort
by Matt Taibbi40 minutes readMATT TAIBBI—Though the judge was clearly not a fan of Hopkins — a courtroom account by Aya Velázquez, which I recommend reading, described how the judge said CJ’s statements were “ideological drivel,” just “not punishable by law” — he won on the law.
After acquittal, he was made aware that technically the case wasn’t over, because thanks to a quirk of German jurisprudence, the prosecutor had a week to file an appeal. Hopkins was unconcerned. “I doubt he will [re-file]. He made a total fool of himself in front of a large audience yesterday,” he wrote. “I can’t imagine that he will want to do that again.” Bzzt! Wrong. The prosecutor re-filed charges.

KARL SANCHEZ—The most common violation is interference in the internal/domestic affairs of member nations. Most grievous is violation of Article 4. Upon the Charter’s entering into legal force on 24 October 1945, the USA was in the process of interfering in the domestic affairs of the USSR and numerous other member nations. It was also providing aid to known Nazi elements in Soviet Ukraine and aiding known Nazi War Criminals to escape justice for the crimes they committed. As such, the USA was also in violation of Articles 2, 3, 4, and 5. Those violations continued unabated and others were added as time moved forward.

KARL SANCHEZ—The nature of our situation as citizens of an Outlaw Empire is detailed in many books that discuss the nature of the political system but never go to its cause or how it became that way. That whole story is what I’ve been attempting to compile in my work as a historian over the decades, and I probably finally have enough material to write a major essay on the topic, although new facts are always being uncovered that further prove some facet of the whole story. The problem is to know when to stop compiling facts and start writing. And then there’re contemporary events that I continue to cover that take me away from that project. Writing a long essay is sort of like building a house: you need to make a blueprint to know how to proceed.
