IMPERATIVE

EDITOR—Dmitry evaluates the situation in Ukraine and its global implications for Russia, the collective West, and how this extremely dangerous, entirely manufactured conflict by the US and its accomplices in NATO is pushing the world closer to a nuclear Armageddon. 
Dmitry Orlov was born in Leningrad, USSR, into an academic family, and emigrated to the US in the mid-1970s. He holds degrees in Computer Engineering and Linguistics, and has worked in a variety of fields, including high-energy physics, Internet commerce, network security and advertising. He is the author of several previous books, including Reinventing Collapse and The Five Stages of Collapse.

BILLY BOB—Another thing that came up in the interview this morning with Scott was the issue with China kicking the US in the ass, economically speaking. A viewer made a comment that got Scott a little riled up regarding the US “still being the dominant economy” or something to that affect.

Scott called the comment out and said that it was absolutely false and he used a comparison of high speed rail to illustrate just how far behind the US was when it comes to modern infrastructure.

LUCIANA BOHNE—Can we face it in this election season? America is a weapons factory, the White House a war room, and the president the manager of the Neoliberal conspiracy to recolonize the planet. It exports war and mass poverty. On the economic front, usurious Neoliberalism; on the military front, illegal wars. These are the trenches of America’s battle for world domination in the 21st century. If not stopped, it will be a short century.

LUCIANA BOHNE—The key event in the history of the dissolution of the Soviet Union was 25 February 1956, when Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev attacked Joseph Stalin in his infamous “secret report” to the 20th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, “On the Cult of Personality and Its Consequences.” The Chinese Communist Party, led by Mao Zedong, reacted severely by pointing out that the “struggle against the personality cult” was in reality a struggle to discredit the leadership of the Soviet Communist Party up to the death of Stalin in 1953.

EDITOR—In his uniquely engaging and outspoken manner, George Galloway maps the road to the breathtaking bubble of corruption and criminality inhabited by most US politicians, along with their Western vassals and accomplices, live, including the current president and the revered Obama, whom GG accuses of being no better than a very smooth mafia don. This is a comprehensive and largely irrefutable indictment of the whole Western ruling class.
