Russian military expert Andrei Martyanov discusses the dangers of American exceptionalism, globalism, and how our societies have become totalitarian. He explains how American military might was lost years ago and how Russia has not only become a peer competitor, but is decades ahead of the U.S. with a missile gap that has become a "technological abyss," possessing hypersonic weapons against which there is no defense (and which the U.S. does not have), air defense complexes (e.g. S-500s), and so on. True strength lies in possessing both an advanced physical economy together with first-rate military power. Russia has moved to a completely different tactical and operational paradigm. Conventionally, NATO and the U.S. can do nothing, Russia doesn't sweat them at all. The only war possible would be escalation to the nuclear threshold, but he believes there are enough smart people in Washington to prevent that. He comments on the disintegration of America culturally, and economically, which includes possibilities of hyperinflation and civil war. He believes the pandemic is a leverage points for the changeover of the old guard.

Andrei Martyanov: It's Game Over for the West #249

Scientist Denis Rancourt returns to discuss his new paper which demonstrates that a pandemic did not occur. Whereas in some countries there was little to no excess mortality, in others like the USA, the 1 million excess deaths can be attributed directly to the government health measures and pandemic-response policies. He sees no evidence for a virulent respiratory disease. The U.S. is decoupling from China with whom it is in an economic war. As a result, there's going to be huge inflation which will wipe out the savings of ordinary people. He sees "COVID19" as being war measures applied to completely control domestic populations in the shadow of the U.S.-China geopolitical and geoeconomic conflict that will last at least a decade and even risk hot war. A totalitarian system is being put into place to get rid of democracy, and it has the potential to last a really long time. All countries must apply these measures in the context of this global war to ensure stability against unrest among their own populations. He thinks Western elites want an e-currency that will take over the world and gobble up any completing digital currencies, and which also cannot be circumvented. We also discuss resistance and non-compliance.

Denis Rancourt: COVID19 is a War Measure for Population Control in Shadow of US-China Conflict #251

This week on the Global Research News Hour, as the world witnesses in horror the real consequences of the first super-powers confrontation since the fall of the Berlin Wall, we try to take a closer look at the truth behind the scenes, the source of the conflict and whether or not the situation can and will be peacefully resolved. In our first half hour, Glenn Michalchuk of Peace Alliance Winnipeg drops by to articulate the demands of his and similar groups across the country relating to Canada’s role in restoration of peace. We also play part of an interview recorded last week with geopolitical analyst and investigative journalist Pepe Escobar about the direction this stand-off was headed and about the role of Kazakhstan as playing a sneaky behind the scenes role in the chaos. Finally in our second half hour we have a talk with the long time foreign correspondent in Russia John Helmer about the larger context and the factors giving Russia an edge.

Count-Down to Apocalypse: Are the US and Russia finally on course toward World War 3?

Dr. Paul Craig Roberts discusses US-Russia tensions and corona tyranny. He doesn't see how events in Kazakhstan could've been anything else but an attempted color revolution. While prior U.S. administrations in the 20th century worked to defuse tensions with Russia, Washington today is removing safeguards, not taking security talks seriously, and is expanding NATO and military installations. Russians feel they are threatened and are taking actions to ensure their security. These developments are extremely discouraging. At the start of the pandemic, he had no reason to question the CDC and NIH. However, over time he began to see holes in the narrative. He fears many people will be injured as a result of mass experimental vaccination and we may see social collapse. He believes there must be some sort of conspiracy and can't fathom the level of global coordination going on. The lockdowns have created inflation which has created serious problems for the U.S. dollar. We don't know what else they may release. There's a tremendous amount of evil at play. If things don't clear up this year, it may very well be the end of the world.

Medical Marvel or the Second Coming of Al Capone? The Sins of Pfizer

On this week’s global Research News Hour, as much of the tragedy playing out in Ukraine is making for big news, there is relatively little being said about the major disaster of nuclear activity being released both through meltdowns of the factories targeted by Russia in Ukraine and by the final nuclear showdown between Russia and US that could bring an end to all life on this planet. We will speak to broadcaster of Nuclear Hotseat (NuclearHotseat.com) Libbe LaHavy and with the legendary anti-nuclear doctor Helen Caldicott about the severe new nuclear situation we are facing, both in Ukraine and in Japan on the 11th anniversary of the Fukusihima Daiichi disaster.

The Start of World War III part 2: Closer than Ever to Nuclear Annihilation

This week on the Global Research News Hour we take a look at what this war with Ukraine will look like in a few weeks time and of the ramifications for the world beyond as the various trade sanctions take their toll. In our first half hour, Marine Corps intelligence officer Scott Ritter weighs in with his beliefs that in spite of appearances, Russia is doing brilliantly and will be finished soon. He will also offer thoughts about the role of President Zelenskyy and about the impact of the sanctions. In our second half hour we will talk about the acceleration of America’s decline brought about by the war and the demise of the us dollar on the world scene with the great economic thinker Michael Hudson.

NATO-Russia Proxy War: Revealing Signs of a Fading America

NBC News has a new report out citing multiple anonymous US officials, humorously titled "In a break with the past, U.S. is using intel to fight an info war with Russia, even when the intel isn't rock solid". 

The officials say the Biden administration has been rapidly pushing out "intelligence" about Russia's plans in Ukraine that is "low-confidence" or "based more on analysis than hard evidence", or even just plain false, in order to fight an information war against Putin.

The report says that toward this end the US government has deliberately circulated false or poorly evidenced claims about impending chemical weapons attacks, about Russian plans to orchestrate a false flag attack in the Donbass to justify an invasion, about Putin's advisors misinforming him, and about Russia seeking arms supplies from China.

US Officials Admit They're Literally Just Lying To The Public About Russia

This week, on the Global Research News Hour, with the imminent shortage of world supplies of fossil fuels due to sanctions against Russia which includes its energy exports, we take a close look at how economies and even whole societies in the US and Europe could be disrupted by sudden price increases and even shortages of this vital resource. IN our first half hour, we speak to Earth Scientist David Hughes about his latest study on the Shale reality in the US and what it suggests about the future of natural gas supplies to Europe to replace Russian shortages. Then we get hold of the author of the book The Long emergency James Howard Kunstler to talk more broadly about the immediate reality of peak oil and gas, and how it would play out in our lives. He also touches on COVID19 and the compromised presidency of Joe Biden

Suddenly, Peak Oil and Gas! The Cataclysmic Result of Sanctions against Russia

US, EU sacrificing Ukraine to 'weaken Russia': fmr. NATO adviser

"China is a strange, backwards nation ruled by tyrants," said the nation founded by Puritans who used to execute women for witchcraft and just killed reproductive rights protections because they think Jesus told them to.

The world is dominated culturally, economically and militarily by a regime that just killed women's reproductive rights because they make Jesus mad.
