America’s “War against Communism” Was Really a War against Advocates for the Poor

Two examples — Korea and Indonesia — will be documented here in order to display that America’s Cold War against communism was/is a cover-story, or deceptive cloak, for a war actually against the poor (and the political Left) in all nations: in other words, a fascist war, meaning that America’s Government became fascist-imperialist as soon […]

Why the  “greatest threat to world peace” needs to be isolated, and abandoned by Europe

Eric Zuesse In different eras of history, different nations have posed the greatest threat to world peace. Back in the 1930s, it was Nazi Germany, which its leader Adolf Hitler planned for a “Thousand-Year Reich” in which “Aryans” (or “pureblooded” descendants of Adam & Eve from Genesis 3) would take control, ultimately, over the entire […]

America’s SECRET Wars

Eric Zuesse An excerpt will be published here from a study recently published by a mainstream U.S. nonprofit-charity-thinktank, about the U.S. regime’s many recent and ongoing secret wars. First, however, that charity’s relationship to the study’s topic should be mentioned here: The Brennan Center for Justice was founded and is mainly financed by the Carnegie […]

How U.S.-&-Allied ‘News’-Media Knowingly Deceive Their Publics

Eric Zuesse The essence of ANY imperialistic country is dictatorship, because no colonial nation (or “vassal” country) actually wants to be required to do what its imperial master (the imperial one) demands it to do — which demand is for that vassal-nation’s Government to impose upon the vassal-nation’s public the laws that the imperial nation’s […]

The Multipolaristas’ Theory of Ultra-Imperialism Doesn’t Fit a Multipolar World

The Basic Lie

Eric Zuesse Though the public in every country believe that domestic affairs are more basic than, and thus more important than, international affairs, the aristocracy (or super-rich) in every country feel that the opposite is true, because their investments are overwhelmingly international, in international corporations and think tanks and universities that employ from and serve […]

Foreign affairs are of virtually no interest to American voters.

Eric Zuesse Foreign affairs, including national security, don’t show among the 14 types of issues in the recent Gallup article, “Government Remains Americans’ Top Problem in 2022”: all of the 14 issue-areas that did show were the top issue for at least 3% of Gallup’s respondents in 2022, and all of them were domestic issues, […]

Picking a Side

Nearly 200 years in, the Monroe Doctrine has had a devastating track record in the Western hemisphere. This bloody history of gringo imperialism has produced strains of left-wing populism, which have become strong political forces in the region. Unfortunately for anarchists and other revolutionaries, these leftist political regimes have tended towards either resisting the US […]
