What happens when reality hits delusion? U.S. mythology and fantasy will remain resilient. Denial, doubling-down, scapegoating, recrimination and more audacious adventures are the instinctive responses, writes Michael Brenner Americans discount the past. They live in the present and imagine the future. Events are assimilated into a mythologized pageant of progress that leads to an ever fuller realization of a more perfect union — liberty and justice at home, goodwill and good works abroad. Happenings of an unseemly nature are sanitized so as to conform to the self-image of destiny’s child born in a state of original virtue; or they are encapsulated…

July 11 every year is the Srebrenica commemoration day. That vastly exaggerated and hugely falsified story is far from the most horrific event of that genre that history has recorded. During World War II in Nazi-occupied Eastern Europe Ukrainian collaborationist para-militaries pledging allegiance to Stepan Bandera, whose allegiance was in turn pledged to Adolph Hitler. slaughtered tens of thousands of innocent Polish peasants for all the usual reasons, wrong ethnicity being the foremost. Today, Stepan Bandera is the national hero of Ukraine, the iconic patron of the Western backed and armed neo-Nazi regime presided by a low-life character whose ethnicity…
Way back in the 1970s, the far-seeing genius Henry Kissinger identified food (in addition to energy) as a major mechanism that could be used to subdue recalcitrant mankind: “Who controls the food supply controls the people; who controls the energy can control whole continents; who controls money can control the world.” Control of money seems to be slipping out of the hands of Dr. Henry’s cabal, and their dominion over the global energy supply seems to be evaporating as well, but they are not giving up on their trump card. That is the capacity to control and, most importantly, to…
We consider this a well-argued and conclusive assessment . The Kakhovka dam was a massive two-mile-long structure that dammed the Dnieper River which bisects Ukraine. It was built by the Soviet Union in 1956 and raised the Dnieper by 16 meters (52 feet), creating the Kakhovka Reservoir. The dam was destroyed on 6 June 2023, resulting in massive flooding downstream on both sides of the river which created a social and environmental disaster. The city of Kherson, located near the river’s mouth with the Black Sea, was also flooded. Both Ukraine and Russia deny blowing up the dam and blame…
Saakashvili was jailed because he abused his power under the US’ orders, lost the proxy war with Russia that he initiated at his patrons’ bidding, and then returned to Georgia after a comparatively more sovereign government came to office and made good on its pledge to bring him to justice. Zelensky has also done the exact same and might thus befall a similar fate if he stays in Ukraine or returns there later. Zelensky accused Russia on Monday of trying to kill former Georgian President Saakashvili after images of him looking emaciated in prison began virally circulating across the Mainstream Media following his latest…
Iurie Rosca is a Moldovan political figure and a leader of the country’s Christian Democratic People’s Party. At one time he served as Vice President of the Government. Rosca is not well known outside Moldova, but he should be. His insights into current affairs and their background are extraordinarily perspicacious. By comparison to Rosca’s sober assessments in the text which we present below, what Western politicians have to say on most subjects sounds like cowardly drivel. One may agree or disagree with parts of what Rosca has to say, but his courage and the maturity of his vision are indisputable.…
We are sharing with our readers “Big Serge’s” reflections on the Wagner mutiny affair not because it is long and tedious (which it is) but because it incidentally makes many good points and stimulates critical reflection while sifting through the leading explanatory theories that have been advanced. The commentariat’s need to impress with quick-witted explanations is understandable, but it should always be restrained, at least until there is sufficient data to justify venturing a unified field theory. We would offer the same advice to Pepe Escobar. But with all the attractions of his analysis, Big Serge circumvents what we consider…
A week later, it is still not possible to draw definite conclusions or even to advance credible hypotheses. The word maskirovka comes persistently to mind, as well as Winston Churchill’s famous adage about Russia, that it is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma. What we tentatively can say is that if the Wagner affair is indeed something other than what at first blush it appears to be – call it maskirovka, riddle, mystery or enigma – from a technical standpoint it was executed brilliantly. First off, there are incoherencies of the account that rapidly is being established…
For a less ebullient and perhaps more sober assessment of the Wagner affair than Pepe Escobar’s, we go to Andrei Martyanov. https://youtu.be/0rpi3ibN0o4 Andrei Martyanov ANDREI MARTYANOV is an expert on Russian military and naval issues. He was born in Baku, USSR in 1963. He graduated from the Kirov Naval Red Banner Academy and served as an officer on the ships and staff position of Soviet Coast Guard through 1990. He took part in the events in the Caucasus which led to the collapse of the Soviet Union. In mid-1990s he moved to the United States where he currently works as…
The jury is still not in on Pepe Escobar’s triumphalist assessment. However, evidence is accumulating of a colossal maskirovka operation. Pepe’s exposition of recent events and their aftermath should be read carefully and sympathetically, but final judgment should still be held in reserve. When the lightning of History strikes, better cut to the chase in our first draft. Here we go. After the extraordinary events in Russia during The Longest Day, President Putin wins on all counts. Among other feats, he has made an absolute, inter-galactic ass of the whole collective West MSM – all over again. He rallied…
