The sun is setting in the West The West's misjudgement also applies to the course of the war, where the Russian army is advancing again after the failed counter-offensive in Ukraine. There is a shortage of weapons, ammunition and soldiers. The strategy of wearing down the West seems to be working. In the US, the Biden administration is already encountering difficulties in mobilizing further war credits....

We don't have to be enemies We demand a ceasefire. The release of the hostages. An end to the military occupation of Palestine. We stand side by side with our Palestinian friends.There is no alternative to peace in Israel and Palestine. Not for Jews, not for Palestinians and not for the other people who live there. This is not naïve, but realistic and pragmatic. It is not radical, but the only option to end the suffering...

On the Ukraine war: "The end result will be a frozen conflict" The West, primarily the USA, will not accept a final peace agreement in which Russia retains a substantial part of Ukrainian territory. Even if it is a frozen conflict, the West and the Ukrainians will go to great lengths to subtly undermine Russia's position in the areas of Ukraine it has conquered. The Russians will go to great lengths to ensure that the Ukrainian rump state remains weak....

Words on war and peace "Every cannon that is built, every warship that is launched, every missile that is fired is ultimately a theft from those who are hungry and have nothing to eat, those who are cold and have no clothes. A world under arms not only squanders money. It also squanders the sweat of its workers, the spirit of its scientists and the hope of its children." (45) former President Dwight D. Eisenhower...

USA delivered a pre-emptive strike to Russia prior to the terror attack on Moscow The White house said it sent Moscow a "warning" prior to the massacre at Crocus concert hall last week. However, it appears the message was a non-specific, boiler-plate that contained no actionable intelligence. Thus, the useless alert could only serve a diversionary tactic; indeed, only as a "pre-emptive" informational warfare strike designed solely for the purpose of "plausible deniability" for the USA...

NATO and the new Cold War In the period between 1999 and 2023, 14 states of the former Warsaw Pact were admitted to NATO in several stages: an increasing threat to the Russian Federation due to the ongoing shift of NATO's eastern borders to Russian territory.

The disease of concealment: An open letter to future historians We are afflicted with what I would call the disease of silence. We are confronted with the results of decades of propaganda, and with the insidious power of language when it is cynically misused. We look, but we don't recognize it. We hear, but we don't listen. The effectiveness of propaganda is so great that most of us are not even aware of our complicity in the genocide of a people....

US Air drop to Gaza a cynical PR stunt In the face of incontrovertible graphic evidence of Israel "Defense" Force using lethal force to cause over 100 Palestinian deaths, amidst a starving crowd that was trying desperately to get to aid supply trucks, the Biden administration was forced to belatedly organize a single plane flight to drop off 60 tons of aid supplies on a south Gaza beach....

US veto #5 at UN vote to protect Israel from global condemnation in genocidal war. For the fifth time since the war between Israel and the ruling Hamas group in Gaza that started on October 7, the US has once again been the lone voice in sheltering the Israeli government from widespread global rebuke. While making a few milquetoast statements that "regret" the massive indiscriminate bombings and killings of 30,000+ unarmed civilians, the tone-deaf Biden regime(poll after poll show the American public wants a ceasefire in Gaza) has continued sending thousands of bombs, miss...

American Media Keep Citing "Zaka" — Though Its October 7 Atrocity Stories Are Discredited Given its prominence, Zaka has been scrutinized by the Israeli press but not the U.S. media. A blockbuster Haaretz report found after October 7, senior military leaders sidelined Israel Defense Forces soldiers specializing in recovering bodies and preserving evidence and sent in untrained Zaka volunteers instead. Zaka reportedly turned massacre sites into a “war room for donations,” used corpses as fundraising props, “spread accounts of atrocities that never happened,” and botched forensics t...
