European Leviathans Censoring RT
Why would a rational person believe a government?

Comparing real UA refugees to the fake Muslim ones
Especially in 2015, the German Chancellor Angela Merkel shocked all sensible people in the West with her "we can do that" – meaning "we can just screw Europe by inviting and importing millions of Muslims into Europe, in order to give everyone a hard time". Virtually all these people were economic migrants, they have affected the societies largely negatively because most of them never had the intent to integrate (and the sometimes spectacular extra terrorist attacks were just a tip of an iceberg!), and there has been a huge campaign to force all EU member countries to swallow their f... read more

Biden alienates US allies in Middle East with his goofy energy policies
Glenn Beaton: Joe Biden canceled the Keystone Pipeline on his first day in office. Since then, he’s put a moratorium on numerous American oil and gas projects. The result, naturally, has been less production of inexpensive American oil and gas, more importation of expensive foreign oil and gas, and less abundance of both. This has produced ever-increasing prices at the pump and in your utility bills.

It's almost as if they don't want us to know the truth about Ukraine
I've said several times in these pages that both Russia and Ukraine are far from blameless in the current war.

We know a lot about Russian corruption and criminality through various investigations and exposés over the years, but there hasn't been as much publicity about Ukraine - largely, I suspect, because the USA helped overthrow one corrupt regime there and replaced it with another. However, in 2016 Oliver Stone... read more
