In 2022, as the U.S. was ramping up its support for war in Ukraine and interfering with settlement efforts, there was a coordinated effort to keep you in the dark on this history of U.S. interference in Ukrainian politics, every bit of it true and well-documented. Now 450,000 Russian and Ukrainian soldiers are dead. None of this carnage was necessary. More than $100B of U.S. tax $ spent, much of it to line the pockets of U.S. weapons manufacturers. Joe Biden and his Iraq-failure architects, neocon advisors Victoria Nuland and Antony Blinken, have this blood on their hands, as do the U.S. corporate media on the left and right. The following video is short<\/a> (less than 5 minutes) and it should be required viewing most Americans.<\/p>\n

Biden’s simplistic story about the Ukraine war is “Bad Putin.” Now compare that fairy tale with the sprawling nefarious corrupt involvement of Blackrock, as discussed by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.<\/a>\u00a0 Corporate greed is also working non-stop to keep Blackrock completely out of the corporate media headlines so you can continue to believe the story about “Bad Putin.”<\/p>\n

Excerpt from article by John Leake,<\/a> in which he cites to part of an essay by Columbia University Professor Jeffrey Sachs:<\/p>\n

The $1.5 trillion in military outlays each year is the scam that keeps on giving\u2014to the military-industrial complex and the Washington insiders\u2014even as it impoverishes and endangers America and the world.<\/p>\n

On the surface, US foreign policy seems to be utterly irrational. The US gets into one disastrous war after another — Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Ukraine, and Gaza. In recent days, the US stands globally isolated in its support of Israel\u2019s genocidal actions against the Palestinians, voting against a UN General Assembly resolution for a Gaza ceasefire backed by 153 countries with 89% of the world population, and opposed by just the US and 9 small countries with less than 1% of the world population.<\/p>\n

In the past 20 years, every major US foreign policy objective has failed. The Taliban returned to power after 20 years of US occupation of Afghanistan. Post-Saddam Iraq became dependent on Iran. Syria\u2019s President Bashar al-Assad stayed in power despite a CIA effort to overthrow him. Libya fell into a protracted civil war after a US-led NATO mission overthrew Muammar Gaddafi. Ukraine was bludgeoned on the battlefield by Russia in 2023 after the US secretly scuttled a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine in 2022.<\/p>\n

To understand the foreign-policy scam, think of today\u2019s federal government as a multi-division racket controlled by the highest bidders.<\/p>\n

Despite these remarkable and costly debacles, one following the other, the same cast of characters has remained at the helm of US foreign policy for decades, including Joe Biden, Victoria Nuland, Jake Sullivan, Chuck Schumer, Mitch McConnell, and Hillary Clinton.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
