EDITOR—This video has quite a story, albeit, a typical story for a film that exposes the Empire in all its perfidy. It was first posted about a decade ago, on Cyrano’s Journal, when we first encountered this resource. It was soon the object of sabotage by technical means: the page mysteriously vanished and our server went down—for almost a full week. Further attempts met the same fate, so we gave up until circumstances became favorable to our side. Lately, we decided to try again and looked for the video all over the place, to no avail. It was certainly not on YouTube, a platform notorious for its aggressive participation in imperialist censorship of free speech exposés. But, we eventually found it on YouTube, again, of all places, although after posting it here a few days, it again vanished (see the black box below). Clicking on the link provided to supposedly see it on YouTube itself, as they promise, leads nowhere. So we conducted a new wide search and located an independent depot that had preserved this film.
WAR CRIMES & CRIMINALS

ALEKS—To be clear, I’m not from the military. Nevertheless, I know a lot of people personally who have served. Considering the interest of many people about how villages or towns are usually taken, I’ve decided to write what I’ve learned from people who were intensively involved in assault operations.
As we all know from Carl von Clausewitz: “War is a continuation of politics by other means.”
What does it have to do with storming a town? A lot. There are many ways to capture a town held by the enemy, like siege, destruction, invasion, political pressure, etc.
The chosen method is determined by the available means and political objectives. This leads us back to Clausewitz’s quote.

RON UNZ—Although unknown to almost all present-day Americans, Emperor Henry IV was one of the most powerful European monarchs of his day. Under his twenty-year reign, the Holy Roman Empire of the High Middle Ages governed Germany, the Low Countries, much of Italy, and other important lands, with many considering him heir to the fabled Charlemagne.
With the arrogance that came from holding such enormous temporal power and commanding large armies, he challenged the authority of Pope Gregory VII, but the Pontiff quickly brought him low, excommunicating him from the Catholic Church and declaring that Henry’s powerful feudal vassal lords no longer owed him any allegiance.

Billy Bob’s Dispatches: Dmitry Medvedev’s Unvarnished Truths. Disregard at your own peril.
10 minutes readDMITRY MEDVEDEV—To protect the territorial integrity of our country, ballistic and cruise missiles with special warheads will be used. This is based on our doctrinal military documents and is well known to everyone. And this is the very notorious Apocalypse. The end of everything. Therefore, Western politicians should tell their voters the bitter truth, and not treat them as brainless idiots.

ANDRAJIT—The reason the war questions are emerging now is that Americans are dying. This nominally raises the stakes. But which Americans? Three Black soldiers have just died in Syria/Jordan and the ‘volunteer’ army is primarily made up of debt slaves. Rich people’s children don’t get drafted so, fundamentally, what do they care, besides thanking these people for their ‘service’ while gutting their veterans services? Do these deaths count as war if the ruling class doesn’t actually give a shit?
