RON UNZ—As everyone knows, the Western mainstream media has spent more than two years demonizing Russia and its president following the February 2022 outbreak of the Ukraine war, with Putin having become the most reviled world leader since Adolf Hitler more than three generations ago. And although Russia’s military attack only came after many years of the most extreme military and political provocations by America and its NATO allies, our astonishingly dishonest media outlets have uniformly plastered the word “unprovoked” on all their accounts of the conflict.

Hanging Out With Sabby Sabs – Talking Foreign Policy
7 minutes readEDITOR—Garland, and RBN’s Jaybefount and Sabby Sabs discuss the US Empire’s rapid unravelling as a result of its imprudent and arrogant over-reach, not to mention ghastly authoritarian nature (while blaming others of this cardinal sin!). America’s devious and often heavy-handed way of “doing business” has finally turned most of the world, except for its vassals in Europe (and even there we are beginning to see cracks in fealty) away from Washington, many nations now gravitating toward the BRICS bloc, led by China and Russia, Eurasia’s two biggest powers. Much of the attraction lies in the fact that BRICS is a multinodal network of independent nations operating on egalitarian, sovereignist and non-interventionist, democratic principles. The era of US dictating sanctions, “containment” or “deterrence” (such postures grounded in a moral judgment) toward various nations, is thankfully coming to an end.

Modern American Imperialism Part 2: Building Eager Armies Helping Colonize their own Nations
15 minutes readBRIAN 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.

Greenwald SHUTS DOWN Dershowitz’ WARMONGERING in NYC Debate
7 minutes readEDITOR—The topic is Iran and Hamas, and Glenn Greenwald effectively and conclusively shuts down Alan Dershowitz’ big mouth in this amazing encounter. The clip illustrates the reason why powerful truthtellers capable of easily destroying the official Orwellian narrative such as Glenn Greenwald, Norman Finkelstein, Garland Nixon, Max Blumenthal, et al, are largely banned by the mainstream media. A system of psychotic criminals has no decency and no sense of fair play.

ALEX CHRISTOFOROU: Trump, No CBDC. Drone hits Russia nuclear radar. $320M pier breaks. Elensky, victim dictates terms
8 minutes readEDITOR—Alex analyses the reckless escalation pushed by NATO, as a Russophobic war psychosis continues to hold most Western politicians while a few stilll pretend the collective West is not really at war with Russia. Putin expresses his openness to negotiations, although under the proper qualifications. Given the nonstop lies and the criminal quality of Western leadership, the World is inching inexorably to a major conflagration.
