"The Trans-Pacific Partnership is perhaps the most ambitious trade negotiation underway in the world. It will break new ground on important issues from the challenges of state-owned enterprises, to ensuring the free flow of data across borders, to enhancing regional supply chains, to ensuring transparency in cutting red tape. We’re also working to strengthen protections for labor and the environment… Our goal is for high standards for the Trans-Pacific Partnership to enter the bloodstream of the global system and improve the rules and norms."            —Vice Pres ident Joseph P. Biden, April 5, 2013 Click here to see original

Trudeau is full of BS, as are Biden, Schumer, McConnell and the whole "Slava Ukraina" crowd. They know that Nazis are their proxies in Ukraine, just as they used jihadis as proxies in Libya, Syria and across Africa and the Middle East. This has been going on for a long time. This piece by Christopher C. Black, a defense lawyer at the ICC, was written four years ago. It deals with the steady whitewashing of Nazism by the West over a period of many years, with the same manufactured history that was spewed in Zelensky's honor by Canada's Parliament last week - a history, BTW, that is now taught in Ukraine as part of the regular curriculum.

"Forced collectivization" - Vanguard style Here, Vanguard, et al are doing for real what Stalin and the USSR were accused of doing. Except it is all of Ukraine that is being "liquidated" - physically, and before the eyes of the world. When people talk about "Ukrainian grain" they're actually talking about grain that is now owned by US and EU mega-corporations such as Vanguard Group, Kopernik Global Investors, BNP Asset Management Holding, Goldman Sachs-owned NN Investment Partners Holdings, and Norges Bank Investment Management, which manages Norway’s sovereign wealth fund. Several large US pension funds, foundations, and university endowments are also invested in Ukrainian land through NCH Capital – a US-based private equity fund, which is the fifth largest landholder in the country. How is the takeover of agricultural land happening? Whereas at least 4.3 million hectares are (as of March of last year) already controlled by agribusinesses in Ukraine,

Some background: While he was playing keys for Miles, et al in the studio, he was using his computer keyboard to assist the campaigns of Hillary Clinton and John Kerry (as well as the Clinton Global Initiative and Ted Turner's $1 Billion brainchild the United Nations Foundation).

More from "Thirteen Days" by Robert F. Kennedy, Sr.: During the so-called Cuban Missile Crisis, President John F. Kennedy was, in RFK's words, "distressed" that the Joint Chiefs, "with the notable exception of General (Maxwell) Taylor, seemed to give so little consideration to the implications of the steps they suggested (air strikes on Soviet missile sites and personnel, followed by invasion)..." or assumed "...that a (nuclear) war was in our national interest." In essence, the President "was disturbed by this inability to look beyond the limited military field...this experience pointed out for us all the importance of civilian direction and control (of the military and intelligence apparatus) and the importance of raising probing questions to military recommendations."   And this: "Barbara Tuchman's 'The Guns of August (1914)' had made a great impression on the President (JFK). 'I am not going to follow a c

"Above all, while defending our own vital interests, nuclear powers must avert those confrontations which bring an adversary to the choice of either a humiliating defeat or a nuclear war." Those words were delivered in June, 1963 by then-President John F. Kennedy at American University in Washington, DC. It was the conclusory lesson he drew from the so-called Cuban Missile Crisis the previous year. An entirely different dynamic exists now between the White House, the Pentagon and the CIA than existed in October, 1962 "Listen. You tell them those chains of command end at one place - me!" - President John F. Kennedy to Kenneth O'Donnell regarding Joint Chiefs of Staff during the Cuban Missile Crisis, per Thirteen Days by Robert F. Kennedy, Sr. And for those who believe that the US can continue to give Ukraine bombs to drop on Russia without Russia holding the US culpable, there's this from that same book: "A missile is a missile...it makes no great differ

Oh, boy. I guess I'll need to update my piece from February, 2022 . From the PSL's 'Liberation' website : "Like the other three indictments, the facts of this case are clear. The effort to overturn the 2020 election result was carried out in plain sight. Trump and his allies concocted a fake story about massive fraud swaying the race in Biden’s favor, and then sought to pressure officials who had a role in the counting and certification of the vote total. This plot had an obviously racist character, focusing on predominantly Black parts of the state and attempting to disqualify large numbers of votes. A particularly disgusting element was the targeting of two Black women who were involved in routine ballot counting in Atlanta, exposing them to vile harassment and death threats." The "facts of the case" are that a candidate raised a claim of illegality that went to the heart of the legitimacy of the election. One such allegation - that the changes in

Last week, US Defense Secretary Austin issued a press release purporting to be a joint statement with the Defense Minister of Indonesia condemning China and Russia. One week later, Indonesia's Defense Minister issued a statement denying the claims made by Austin. "There is no joint statement and no press conference. What is important for me to underline is that our relationship with China is very good. We respect each other, we already have mutual understanding. I conveyed that in the US,” Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto said to reporters Thursday, adding “We are close friends with China, we respect America, and we seek friendship with Russia.” In essence, Austin lied. https://www.defense.gov/News/Releases/Release/Article/3504476/united-states-dod-and-indonesia-mod-joint-press-statement/
