Eric Zuesse The U.S. war against Russia is based not only on lies by the U.S. government and its ‘news’ media about how the war in Ukraine started, but also on lies by the U.S. Government and its ‘news’ media about actually non-existent Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. Presidential election between Trump and Hillary.

Much needless fuss has been generated by President Joe Biden’s cancellation of his visit to Australia for the Quad meeting, a now regular gathering of leaders from the US, Japan, India and Australia. He had other things on his mind: dealing with fractious debt ceiling negotiations taking place back in the United States. Students of […]
Todd Hayen There is so much going on we don’t know about. Like I’ve said before, we definitely have reached that critical point of being a “closed system.” The mainstream media are all in on it, so they control the flow of information.

Julian Assange is in prison, indefinitely and in blatant contravention of humanitarian norms.

Tomorrow marks one year since veteran journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was murdered by the Israeli military while covering an Israeli invasion of Jenin refugee camp. The brutal silencing of her voice, and the images of Israeli riot police beating mourners at her funeral, will be remembered as defining moments exposing the cruelty of Israeli apartheid. […]
Eric Zuesse It’s the extreme concentration of wealth in the hands of just a tiny fraction of the richest 1% of the richest 1% of the richest 1% of wealth-holders that makes the country be an aristocracy instead of a democracy. This extreme inequality of wealth does that, by distorting Government-expenditures in the directions that […]
