Biden Announces New Alliance Against China (‘North Korea’)

Eric Zuesse (blogs at https://theduran.com/author/eric-zuesse/) Just as the U.S. Government under Obama had installed missiles into Poland and Romania near to Moscow, by using the phony excuse that doing this would defend the EU against (the non-existent) ‘threat from Iran’ (instead of for America to be able to use those missiles to blitz-attack Russia’s central […]

From Press Room Raids to Indictments, Anything Goes When the Government Piles On

When players are piled on top of each other after a mad scramble for a loose ball, it’s a free-for-all. There are no rules.  Anything goes. That’s because there’s nobody in the pile to monitor what’s going on. — Mike Thomas, sports editor, Sportscasting, November 9, 2020 What is playing out before our eyes right […]

Eric Zuesse (blogs at https://theduran.com/author/eric-zuesse/) On August 14th, one of the Democratic Party mainstream ‘news’-media, NBC, deigned to do an on-air interview of RFK Jr., who is running in the Democratic Party’s primaries to be the 2024 Presidential nominee instead of Biden, and this occasion offered the best presentation I’ve yet seen of how radically […]

U.S. Government & Media to Blame for Many Lies That Americans Believe

Eric Zuesse (blogs at https://theduran.com/author/eric-zuesse/) The highly respected and non-partisan retired CIA analyst Larry Johnson, in a recent youtube titled “Will Biden Start WW3 Over Ukraine?”, said (at 6:21) “It’s frightening, the level of the ignorance, in the United States, particularly, about Russia, and its technological might.” His interviewer promptly deflected onto whether the war […]

U.S. Government On Wrong Side of Ukraine’s War

Eric Zuesse (blogs at https://theduran.com/author/eric-zuesse/) Ukraine’s war started in February 2014, not in 2022. As NATO’s Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said on 9 May 2023, “The war started in 2014.” He even was explicit that “You have to remember that the war didn’t start in 2022” (which was when Russia responded on 24 February 2022 […]

Building for War: The US Imperium’s Top End Spend

The AUSMIN 2023 talks held between the US Secretaries of State and Defense and their Australian counterparts, confirmed the increasing, unaccountable militarisation of the Australian north and its preparation for a future conflict with Beijing.  Details were skimpy, the rhetoric aspirational.  But the Australian performance from Defence Minister Richard Marles, and Foreign Minister Penny Wong, […]

Beware the anti-democratic liberal centreby Ian SinclairMorning Star24 July 2023 If you have read the seemingly endless work of US dissident Noam Chomsky you’ll know he regularly cites twentieth century US intellectuals to highlight the elitist, anti-democratic thinking of the so-called liberal centre. The public are “ignorant and meddlesome outsiders” who should be “spectators, not […]

The Fraudulent Global-Warming ‘Debate’

Eric Zuesse (blogs at https://theduran.com/author/eric-zuesse/) The so-called ‘debate’ about global warming is between two sides, both fraudulent. On one side are right-wing-billionaires-funded climate ’scientists’ such as Bjorn Lomborg who was exposed as being no climate scientist at all in Howard Friel’s excellent 2011 The Lomborg Deception (and in many subsequent attacks such as the Grantham […]
