JOHN RACHEL—I’m pro-choice, alright. In the much broader sense of having a choice as a citizen about what is done in my name with the tax dollars and immense resources of the United States. I’m talking about America’s decisions to go around the world killing people, destroying nations, imposing its imperial agenda on other allegedly sovereign nations. I’m talking about the heavy hand of our government deciding what version of the “truth” citizens get in the news and from their elected officials. I’m talking about critical choices made about America’s place in the world, our relationships with every other nation, who is our friend, who is designated as our enemy; deciding the kind of country we now live in and will hand off to future generations.

European Union pretends to debunk “Russian lies” by publishing document listing Moscow’s “disinformation”
23 minutes readThe material below appeared in March, 2022 on an official European Union website. In perfect Orwellian mode, what they claim is Russian lies is actually all true. We have observed this posture long before there was a Russo-Ukraine war, in fact malicious Russophobia and false flag accusations have been hurled at Moscow for decades as part of the Western establishment’s effort to demonise an ascendant Russia. Today, even on the brink of World War III, the colossal hypocrisy of the West’s ruling elites prevents any kind of honest dialog. When will reality finally begin to make a dent in their contemptible behaviour? That we cannot tell at this point, but for the sake of humanity we hope it will be soon. Facts on the ground, after all, carry their own eloquence.

Oligarchy Wins Big As Democrats Pretend Losses Are Victories
8 minutes readAs the final counting takes place in the 2022 midterm elections, Democrats are already crowing about holding off a supposed “red wave” even though they may yet lose the House and Senate.

Jimmy and his panel of Revolutionary Blackout Network host Nick Cruse and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger break down the results of the midterm elections and how fascism and oligarchy managed to eke out yet another electoral victory.

The Subtleties of Anti-Russia Leftist Rhetoric
18 minutes readEDWARD CURTIN—While ostensibly about European anti-war and anti-NATO activists caught on the horns of a dilemma, the piece goes on to assert that although US/NATO was guilty of wrongful expansion over many years, Russia has been an aggressor in Ukraine and Georgia and is guilty of terrible war crimes, etc.
There is not a word about the U.S. engineered coup in 2014, the CIA and Pentagon backed mercenaries in Ukraine, or its support for the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion and Ukraine’s years of attacks on the Donbass where many thousands have been killed. It is assumed these actions are not criminal or provocations.

Praising Warmonger Albright Reveals Brain-Dead Western Media
11 minutes readFINIAN CUNNINGHAM—The widespread Western public ignorance over what is happening in Ukraine – the violent background to the present conflict, the CIA coup in 2014, the Nazi paramilitaries attacking Russian-speaking people in the Donbass, the relentless NATO weaponizing of the Russophobic regime, training of its Nazi paramilitaries by NATO troops and so on – is largely due to the Western media’s systematic lying, omission, and distortion.
However, the brain-dead function of the Western media is especially highlighted this week by the death of Madeleine Albright and the total silence about how her career is tightly entwined with today’s conflict. The war in Ukraine is but the front line of a wider proxy war between the United States, NATO and Russia.
