How will China and Russia deal with the U.S. bribing officials from countries? Case in point: "Why does CHINA want to build another CANAL in CENTRAL AMERICA?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTa1XjfYOp0

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

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.

Paul Craig Roberts: It May Well Be the End of the World #254

On this week’s Global Research News Hour, we focus on the growing friction between the United States and Russia over the fate of Ukraine with three great guests;
In our first half hour, commentator and columnist Scott Ritter expresses his thoughts about NATO’s inability to thwart the Russians and opens up a possible face saver for all forces involved.
In our second half hour, commentator Paul Craig Roberts opens up about the West’s involvement in the popular movement that overthrew President Yanukovych and about the choice by Crimeans to actually rejoin the Russian Federation. Finally in our second half hour, we will hear from a journalist, activist and observer actually living in Kiev named Dmitriy Kovalevich about the racist groups that sprung up after the Maidan and how all politics, journalism and policing in Ukraine has been affected for the worse.

Countdown to Apocalypse Part 2: A Dark Future for Ukraine

Professor Kees van der Pijl discusses his new book which explains how the virus crisis is a fraud and cover for political seizure of power. The medical emergency is just a pretext for digital identity passport systems. He discusses the players behind this ruling oligarchy whose concentration is unprecedented in history. Elites are using a strategy of tension to subjugate an otherwise unruly global populace which has been on the verge of 1848-style revolution. The medical phase of the coup can turn toward war (e.g. Russia) as another means of consolidating rule. The ruling class believes they have a small window of time to cement their power on the heels of the historic AI revolution. He explains the mechanisms by which the oligarchy is able to impose worldwide regulatory processes on entire continents and how China is cooperating in this 'ultra-imperialism' with the West. He's optimistic that the political project that is Covid can't go on for much longer, will fall apart, and that they do not yet possess the technology required to roll out a total digital control system. A core group of society is also increasingly rejecting their insane vision of the future.

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.
