2022-05-11 22:45:17 The City of London’s shock blitzkrieg against Chelsea FC, who are currently the reigning European and world champions, will totally transform English football into a shadow of its former self.

Red-carding Chelsea’s owner, Israeli citizen Roman Abramovich, because of his alleged Russian links, has destroyed the Football Association’s current business model.

If anti-Semites can confiscate an Israeli citizen’s assets because Russian peace-keeping forces have entered Ukraine, what of clubs like Newcastle Utd and Manchester City, that are owned by Middle Eastern despots?

What of Liverpool FC and Manchester Utd that are owned by American clubs?

Should they too be sanctioned over America’s endless litany of war crimes, its illegal invasions of Syria and Iraq in particular?

2022-05-11 22:21:08 Is Europe’s ‘totalitarianism’ of today of a more refined type – not so-violent, and therefore deserving of a ‘pass’?

2022-05-10 12:16:19 77 years ago Germany surrendered to allied forces finally ending the ravages of the Second World War.

Today, as the world celebrates the 77th anniversary of this victory, why not think very seriously about finally winning that war once and for all?

If you’re confused by this statement, then you might want to sit down and take a deep breath before reading on. Within the next 12 minutes, you will likely discover a disturbing fact which may frighten you a little bit: The allies never actually won World War II…

Now please don’t get me wrong. I am eternally thankful for the immortal souls who gave their lives to put down the fascist machine during those bleak years… but the fact is that a certain something wasn’t resolved on the 9th of May, 1945 which has a lot to do with the slow re-emergence of a new form of fascism during the second half of the 20th century and the renewed danger of a global dictatorship which the world faces again today.

It is my contention that it is only when we find the courage to really look at this problem with sober eyes, that we will be able to truly honor our courageous forebears who devoted their lives to winning a peace for their children, grandchildren and humanity more broadly. https://canadianpatriot.org/2022/05/08/for-victory-day-its-time-to-think-about-finally-winning-wwii-2/ Open / Comment

2022-05-09 19:45:12 A Baloch suicide bombing targeting Chinese workers in Karachi comes a mere month after the US-backed ousting of PM Imran Khan.

Pakistan is a critical BRI hub in Beijing’s vast Eurasian connectivity project, and it looks like CPEC is the ultimate target of this disruption.

2022-05-09 19:08:14 Russia should ignore Zelensky and the Finnish biker and let the EU know what its choices are.

Although Satan 11, Russia’s latest super‐heavy RS-28 Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), packs a lethal punch, it is not of itself a game changer. Because leopards don’t change their spots, NATO won’t stop its war mongering until it is defanged, disarmed and demobbed. Though Satan 11 is necessary to deter NATO’s aggression, it is not nearly sufficient to alter the NATO jingoistic mind set that now has middle aged Swedish and Finnish women clambering to kick start Armageddon.

If these Swedish and Finnish mamasans want Santa’s Lapland to be nuked, fair enough. On the positive side, pre-emptive nuclear strikes would end Sweden’s rampant urban terrorism and enable future entrepreneurs to build back better after Assa Abloy, Electrolux, Ericcson, Essity, H&M, Ikea, Skanska, Spotify, Vattenfall, Volvo, Abba and Greta Thunberg dissolve in palls of nuclear smoke, with Finnish firms Nordia, Nokia, Neste and UPM tagging along for the one-way ride.

Though all sane Swedes and Finns, like all sane Norwegians and Danes, don’t want to be NATO’s sacrificial lambs, they don’t have a vote in this. Scandinavia is not Switzerland. And they are certainly not democracies which are dependent upon large and well-informed electorates which would quickly discern that Sweden’s pretty Prime Minister and Finland’s prettier Prime Minister are just tools of Empire, lipstick on the war pig that is NATO.

2022-05-04 19:15:30 The NYT and other MSM pushed the fabricated official narrative above earlier and recently.

According to Times propaganda days after the Obama/Biden regime’s 2014 Maidan coup in Kiev:

No “armed mutiny” against Ukraine’s elected government occurred (sic).

“Ukrainians believe their future is with the values and practices of the West (sic).”

“Ukrainian protesters (sic) achieved their goal.”

Indeed! The Obama/Biden regime’s coup replaced democracy in Ukraine with Nazi-infested tyranny.

The worst lay ahead — notably 8 years of Kiev aggression on Donbass.

After years of diplomacy failed to achieve conflict resolution, Russia’s SMO began to demilitarize and deNazify Ukraine, along with liberating Donbass entirely from Nazified occupation.

No Nazis in Ukraine?

2022-05-04 18:31:17 The US-centralized empire’s use of propaganda, censorship and Silicon Valley algorithm manipulation is the single most urgent issue of our time, because it’s what prevents attention from being drawn to all other issues. And all signs indicate it’s set to get much, much worse.

2022-05-04 17:58:32 No citizen journalist, who values their life, should go anywhere near Ukraine’s Nazi psychotics, Declan Hayes writes.

After first citing the Armenian Holocaust and the Rape of Nanking to gain historical context, this article examines the recent Ukrainian arrest of citizen journalist Gonzalo Lira López and the smear campaigns against Patrick Lancaster and Graham Philips to explore the role of citizen journalists in NATO’s ongoing wars, Ukraine’s included.

In concluding by examining the matrix NATO uses to weaponize their work, the article allows readers to evaluate the charges NATO lays against this website and its other citizen journalist targets in Ukraine, Yemen, Syria and domestically as well.

2022-05-03 18:33:37 On all things Russia and Ukraine, it’s hard finding anything resembling truth and full disclosure from US/Western regimes and their MSM echo chamber.

Sticking to the fabricated official narrative is how they operate on virtually all major domestic and geopolitical issues — especially on all things related to flu/covid kill shots and invented US enemies like Russia.

2022-05-03 18:10:51 The answer is one failed in Ukraine, one has kept the peace.

The question, going forward, is the model the strategic clarity of NATO’s Article 5 or the strategic ambiguity of the 1979 Taiwan Relations Act?
