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.

The War on Consciousness: Manufacturing Stupidity
51 minutes readERIC ARNOW—Seems like Blinken has a selective or defective memory. Blinken told his stepfather’s story as a tale of one-sided U.S. beneficence, but Samuel Pisar remembers it differently: “I was saved by the Battle of Stalingrad, which was the turning point of the war, and the Red Army offensive,” he said in a 2010 interview with Russian media outlet RIA Novosti. “For me, during the Second World War, Russia was a savior. I consider my saviors to be the Russian and American armies. You can criticize Stalin, the Gulag, and other things that happened in Russia from 1920 to 1930, but the heroism, sacrifice, and victory of Russia in the war against Fascism cannot be questioned. It’s sacred.”

OLIVER BOYD-BARRETT—The effete leaders of the Western World stubbornly persist in repeating all their mistakes. So, knowing that their obsessive craving for a sanctions regime that might work the way they think it should work is actually a rather pathetic delusion which only makes Russia more independent and more prosperous than ever, and which diminishes Western trade and profitability and pushes up the cost of energy for Western industry and is right now pushing Europe into recession and deindustrialization, what do they do? Even the IMF has told Washington and Europe that its sanctions packages are counterproductive.

CAITLIN JOHNSTONE—Highlighting the depravity and murderousness of the empire. Use any and all media and forums you find to be effective.
Everything you do on this front makes a difference, and don’t ever let anyone tell you otherwise. The propaganda machine is the linchpin of their power. It’s what holds the empire together. Without the ability to manipulate the public at mass scale, our rulers cannot rule.
