EDITOR—Jill Stein promises to stop Israel’s genocide on day one as president-elect.
No other candidate dares to make such a promise.
Dr. Jill Stein – 2024 Presidential Candidate: I’m running for president with the Green Party to offer a choice for the people outside the failed two-party system. We’ll put a pro-worker, anti-war, climate action agenda front and center in this election and on the ballot in November. -
My dear friend and senior contributing editor to this publication, Paul Edwards, has just alerted me to Tom Feeley’s struggle to stay alive. For those in the genuinely progressive, anti-imperialist community, who, for some reason, never heard of Tom, let me just put it simply: Tom Feeley is editor at Information Clearing House, which he correctly describes as, “A fiercely, independent source of news and information.” Yes, ICH is a key link in the ridiculously thin line of grotesquely underfunded websites still devoted to truth, truth when it matters most. ICH is a massive archive of genuine independent leftist analysis, and an invaluable tool in the contest with the forces working to impose an Orwellian world of fake democracy, constant war, widespread oppression and exploitation, and capitalogenic ecocide. Indeed, ICH would not be around without Tom’s unwavering dedication. This is why Paul’s fraternal words resonate so much in this quarter:

EDITOR—Garland carefully examines Russia’s options in the face of unrelenting hostility and aggression by the West through its Ukraine proxy, and now directly through NATO assets in a new phase of the Ukraine conflict involving the firing of long-range missiles on Russian cities and sensitive strategic infrastructure. Garland does not believe that, even at this dangerous juncture, Moscow will resort to nuclear weapons or other drastic forms of military retaliation but, instead, will simply use its enormous economic clout to seriously wound the NATO alliance by denying the West a large number of sensitive resources its requires for its normal economic and strategic functioning. Things like oil, heavy petroleum, titanium, etc., all of which are essential for the production of advanced aviation, computers, electricity generation (via nuclear plants), domestic fuel for heating, and so on. If Russia does this, there will not be a nuclear war, but the Western populations will experience first-hand the huge problems created by the betrayal of their ruling circles as a consequence of their slavish alliance with Washington and support for its criminal and idiotic wars.

SCOTT RITTER—In writing How the Chechen miracle kick-started the Russian ‘Path of Redemption’, Helping Crimea recover from decades of Ukrainian misrule is a tough but necessary challenge, We are witnessing the bittersweet birth of a new Russia, and Why did it take Russia so long to realize Donbass was worth fighting for?, I provided unique reporting that was unavailable anywhere else in the world – Western media outlets would never allow such reporting to be published on their pages or websites, and Russian news outlets had never seen such reporting from an independent Western perspective.
This is exactly what journalism is supposed to be – hard-hitting, probing analysis based upon first-hand observations derived from access to high-level sourcing.
I picked RT as the publisher of these articles because I wanted this reporting to be available not only to a global English-speaking audience, but also to a Russian audience.
