BRIAN BERLETIC—US meddling is far from confined to Ukraine as part of its proxy war with Russia. The US pursues a similar policy against China by targeting nations all across China’s periphery. The US government through the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and its subsidiaries has sponsored opposition parties and organizations in Cambodia for years including Kem Sokha’s Cambodian National Rescue Party. In 2017 Kem Sokha openly admitted to working with the US to overthrow the Cambodian government in a Washington-sponsored Serbia-style color revolution. Cambodia has now jailed Kem Sokha for 27 years for treason.

GEORGE BURCHETT—Karl Rove’s “we” – history’s actors – no doubt include those G.W. Bush called “the crazies in the basement”: the neo-cons, who scripted, produced and staged the disasters that are Iraq and Afghanistan. Under Obama, they morphed into “humanitarian interventionists” (under the R2P label – Responsibility To Protect) and added Libya, Syria, Ukraine, Yemen, to the list of neo-con wars and ‘interventions’. As Rove says, “we’re history’s actors and you” – that is the rest of us – can “study what we do.”
The question is then: are we content to just study the reality the ‘reality creators’ create for us, or can we do something about it and perhaps create another reality? -
What China Should Do if Taiwan Declares Independence From China
24 minutes readERIC ZUESSE—That is why the U.S. Government is so alarmed. Whether a world-annihilating nuclear war — or else a global dictatorship — can be avoided is the question, and the only possibility for hope would be for the existing U.S. regime to become replaced by a decent Government that has some concern for the public, which is a concern that hasn’t dominated in the U.S. Government ever since 25 July 1945, when the empire took control of the country.

The Beginning of Democracy or The End of Humanity
15 minutes readFRANK SCOTT—The present war in the Ukraine regularly charged to Russia owes its existence exclusively to America and its Nato lapdogs and their endless pursuit of the destruction of Russia. The insane policies created by homicidal degeneracy that labels murder as democracy goes on while those who pay for it are endlessly told that evil Putin is bent on taking over all of Europe and possibly parts of California and New York in his blind lust for blood and empire. This is while America spends more on warfare than Russia and China combined – many many times over.

JIM KAVANAGH—Per Chomsky, “the China threat is that China exists.” It’s just too big—~20% of the world’s population—and too economically and, now, militarily powerful, it is building too many strong relations with countries on every continent, and it will soon overtake the U.S. as the dominant force in the world’s political economy. All the sooner if allied with other countries—like, you know, Russia.
