The American Media Is A CIA Front
The American Media Is A CIA Front I reported honestly the facts of the US coup that overthrew the elected Ukrainian government in 2014 (see my columns in February and March 2014). However, the US print and TV media, led by the New York Times, lied through their teeth. Indeed, the “mainstream” US media functioned […]

As Ukraine Collapses, Europeans Tire of US Interventions On Sunday Ukrainian prime minister Yatsenyuk resigned, just four days after the Dutch voted against Ukraine joining the European Union.

NATO as a War-Racket
NATO as a War-Racket NATO Causes Refugees, Then Uses Them As Excuse for More Invasions NATO is the anti-Russia military club of nations, even after the communist Soviet Union and its military club against the U.S., the Warsaw Pact, ended in 1991 — NATO didn’t reciprocate that by ending itself, as it should have done […]
Trans-Atlantic & Trans-Pacific “Partnerships” Complete Corporate World Takeover
Trans-Atlantic & Trans-Pacific “Partnerships” Complete Corporate World Takeover As I have emphasized since these “partnerships” were first announced, their purpose is to give corporations immunity from the laws in the countries in which they do business. The principle mechanism of this immunity is the granting of the right to corporations to sue governments and agencies […]
