Over 70 years ago, in June 1954, the United States overthrew the first democratically elected president in Guatemala’s history, Jacobo Arbenz, and Washington’s protégé, Colonel Castillo Armas, seized power in Central America’s most populated country. Armas established a military dictatorship, which sparked a civil war that lasted for 36 years and caused genocide of the […]

“…two men went up into the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus within himself, ‘God, I thank you that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast twice a week, I give tithes of […]

Soviet intelligence officer, Hero of Russia Colonel Alexander Semenovich Feklisov can be counted among the most important witnesses of our atomic age without any exaggeration. He was a participant in Operation Enormous, an operation of the NKVD foreign intelligence service to obtain American atomic secrets. It was to him that the outstanding physicist Klaus Fuchs […]

Of course, I am not a historian of Trump impeachment proceedings, but from what I remember, they were mostly about the so-called “Ukraine-gate.” That is, Trump knew that Zelensky had plenty of dirt on Biden and his coke-head son. So he told Zelensky to give him some goods before he released another billion dollar packet […]

Friends, I want to talk today about the media’s coverage of the Trump-Vance-Musk coup. I’m not referring to coverage by the bonkers right-wing media of Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News and its imitators. I’m referring to the U.S. mainstream media — The New York Times, The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, The Atlantic, The New […]

50th Vice President of the United States James David Vance is Trolling Europeans into Trance. On the surface of it, they just don’t know how to react to the speech that asks them to look at themselves, rather than repeating the usual mantra: Russia—Russia—Ukraine—Money, Money—Russia—Russia. But there is something deeper, obviously. Russophobia had always been […]

I often think about what it is like to create something with full effort, being on the threshold of death. We are all doomed to it, of course, but we drown out thoughts about it with the vanity of life, work and idleness, feelings and entertainment. But when it has already knocked on the door, […]

Donald Trump Jr. reposted WikiLeaks file on X network, which pertained to both USAID and 1990s Russia. USAID funneled nearly half a billion dollars ($472.6 million) through the secretive, US government-funded NGO Internews Network (IN), which “worked” with 4,291 media outlets around the world, producing 4,799 hours of broadcasts in 2023 alone, reaching up to […]

“Never in the history of the world was one people as completely dominated intellectually and morally, by another as the people of the United States were by the people of Russia in the four years from 1946-to 1949,” observed Archibald MacLeish, a well known poet and the top official at State Department. Well, recently we’ve […]

Friends, Musk’s rats continue to burrow into sensitive government payment systems. According to the best source I’ve found on this (Nathan Tankus’s Crises Notes), Musk and his rats have now gained unrestricted access to your Social Security number, your confidential bank information, your confidential medical information, and much more. Musk boasts that his team is […]
