Azov Battalion – with Nazi flags
Ukraine – what you’re not told
One of the lessons from the last three weeks is that what ‘we’, liberal capitalist ‘democracies’ say is ‘the truth’, what ‘they’ (that is, anyone those same liberal capitalist ‘democracies’ disagree with) say is not the truth, is in fact ‘fake news’.
And one of those liberal capitalist ‘democratic’ truths is that the issue around Ukraine is all about the ‘good guys’ and the ‘bad guys’.
Obviously the ‘good guys’ are the capitalist and imperialist nations that have been acting in a rapacious manner against (and strangling the well being of) their own populations for centuries. For those who have had the misfortune to come into contact with these thieves, murderers and rapists in the (mainly) southern hemisphere the consequences have been even worse.
This is especially so if those people stand up and demand that they should be able to determine their own futures. Such insolence will not be tolerated and the list of countries who have attempted this, in whatever small way, since the end of the Second World War that have had to be taught a lesson is almost innumerable. Often puppets have been used to carry out the wishes of their masters but when the biggest bully of the lot (USA imperialism) has got itself involved it has shown itself to be totally incapable of achieving its aims – what ever amount of resources it throws at the problem. In fact, the US hasn’t won any war it has taken part in for more than a century.
But any such defeats don’t stop the imperialists from continuing to follow their destructive path. They will break every rule in the book and any and all treaties if it suits their purpose. For example, the United Nations is ‘correct’ if it lets them invade Korea but is ‘irrelevant’ if it seeks to prevent them from invading Iraq.
But just because the ‘good guys’ follow such a policy it doesn’t mean that this is open to all. If any pretender seeks to learn the lessons from the biggest bullies then they are branded as the ‘bad guys’. The fact they are good pupils means nothing, especially if it goes against the wishes and interests of the perpetual ‘good guys’.
Following the same illegal actions carried out from Korea to Vietnam to Iraq to Libya is met with a level of hypocrisy that beggars belief. Added to that they lie though their back teeth about any agreements that might have been made in the past.
The actions of the Russians of going into the Ukraine is a crime but no more nor less a one than has been committed in all parts of the world on numerous occasions in the last couple of hundred years by those who are now attempting to hold the moral high ground. Whatever is happening in the Ukraine now it is important to remember that the principle danger to the peoples of the world is still United States imperialism.
But even the now ‘bad guys’ weren’t always that bad. Capitalism didn’t see it as a crime against the people when the so-called Russian ‘oligarchs’ looted the wealth created in the years of socialism of the Soviet Union. The fact that many (if not all) of those gains were achieved through a level of criminality wasn’t really important. If in countries like Britain (at the time of Thatcher and with the disgraceful and ultimately self-defeating ‘agreement’ of a substantial proportion of the population) and throughout the world (through the demands of the World Bank and the International Monetery Fund) privatisation was the core of the new liberal economic system then what was different with the looting of public wealth in the erstwhile Soviet Union?
The money those oligarchs spent was welcomed in the capitalist countries and the City of London (at one time the most important financial centre in the world but now starting to fade somewhat) has probably been kept afloat by the amount of money laundering that has been going on for the best part of twenty years. If these oligarchs start to get ‘penalised’ (in whatever small and ineffectual manner by present day plans to challenge the roots of their wealth) and take umbrage and decide to launder their ill-gotten gains elsewhere then the City of London is in for a bumpy ride.
The US (ably assisted by the UK ‘poodle’) seeks to maintain/regain world hegemony thorough this present crisis and are prepared to defend the Ukraine ‘to the last Ukrainian’. Also, in a manner and with a completeness that surprises us, they have been able to maintain hegemony of the information that has been getting out to the populations of the northern hemisphere. (Those who live in the poorer countries of the south have more important and immediate issue to consider than the fate of a country caught in the middle of a European spat.)
The aim here is to provide a source of news and views from other outlets which are not so slavish to the acceptance of the views propounded by the servants of the world’s most vicious and hypocritical imperialist masters.

US, UK, France promised USSR not to expand NATO east of Germany, newly discovered document proves.
Notes from a 1991 meeting prove that the US, UK, France, and Germany assured the Soviet Union that NATO would not expand east. It’s part of a growing body of evidence that the West broke its promise to Russia. Even though the US, the UK and other countries deny the existence of the ‘promise’. But then who would be foolish enough to belive a promise from this bunch of liars?

Another version of the bombing of the Mariupol maternity hospital.
Machine translation of text:
” Fake: Vladimir Zelensky on Instagram called Russia’s strike on the Mariupol maternity hospital an atrocity and said that children, their mothers and doctors are under the rubble.
True: The maternity hospital has not worked since the beginning of Russia’s special operation in Ukraine. The doctors were dispersed by the militants of the nationalist battalion “Azov”.
On the eighth of March in an interview with Lenta.ru, the son of one of the maternity hospital employees said that “in the last days of February, people in uniform came to the maternity hospital where his mother works. The military dispersed the maternity hospital staff, and set up firing points in the building.”

The American Empire self-destructs.
Empires often follow the course of a Greek tragedy, bringing about precisely the fate that they sought to avoid. That certainly is the case with the American Empire as it dismantles itself in not-so-slow motion. The basic assumption of economic and diplomatic forecasting is that every country will act in its own self-interest. Such reasoning is of no help in today’s world. Observers across the political spectrum are using phrases like ‘shooting themselves in their own foot’ to describe U.S. diplomatic confrontation with Russia and allies alike.

It’s also necessary to ignore some of the contradictions of some his statements towards the end – as his eulogy about Trump being a ‘nice guy’. Even though this was originally aired on 5th April 2022 the arguments he uses are still valid five weeks later. [Only made aware of this video in recent days.]
