The Ukraine-Russia Negotiations Are Effectively Dead:
Eric Zuesse On March 18th, I headlined “How the Western Press Handles the Ukrainian Government’s Nazism,” but didn’t, at the time, know that what is blocking a peace settlement between Ukraine and Russia, is, in fact, Russia’s demand, and Ukraine’s refusal, for Ukraine’s government to ‘denazify’. In other words: the Western press’s handling of that […] read more

Creative Lies, Banal Truths
To be really creative, you need to be a liar. Truth is dull, because it consists of simple and straightforward depictions of reality; it does not require imagination, because it is an exposition of things that should be obvious to all; it is banal, because it is observable and verifiable. But a lie is enmeshed in twists and turns, because it is antithetical to reality; it is interesting to read, because it is expressed through very well-written and well-argued essays, stories, and treatises; it is seldom banal, because it is motivated by imagination, rationalizations, and hidden age... read more

Warmonger profile: Biden was just 'suggesting'
At the time of Bill Clinton's US-NATO bombing of Belgrade and the break-up of Yugoslavia into smaller nations in 1999, it became quite clear to Russia that they were on the list for the same treatment at some point. Thus what is happening today in Ukraine is just one more step in the US-NATO foolhardy plan for regime change in Moscow and the balkanization of Russia into smaller nations. This would enable the western fossil fuel corporations to have access and control of the vast resource base of the Russian Federation. Nuclear war is now a distinct possibility as the US-NATO m... read more

Those who foisted Biden on us should be held to account

Diversity vs. merit in the military
Brig. Gen. Chris Petty: Diversity sounds great. That's part of the problem. Today's "diversity," however, isn't what it used to be. Rather than diverse experiences, backgrounds, and perspectives — that promote healthy group decisions and outcomes — "diversity" has come to mean only race, ethnicity, and sex. Unfortunately, today's "diversity" is replacing our long, and largely successful, journey toward equal opportunity. We have moved the goalposts to the end of a new field — a field where equal racial and sex-based outcomes determine the score. In this new world, "diversit... read more
