AN APPEAL TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE: DO NOT RESTORE NATO! END THE “RUSSIAGATE” HOAX!

By David Hungerford

Pres. Trump’s “pay up or else” demand at the recent NATO summit in Brussels scuttles NATO’s Article 5: the principal that an attack on one is an attack on all. Now the approach is “If you pull some stupid stuff with Russia and get yourself in trouble the United States will think about what to do.”

An Appeal to the American People: Do Not Restore NATO! End the “Russiagate” Hoax!

An alliance is either an alliance, or is it not. NATO is no longer an alliance. It is something else. Hopefully it will not exist much longer. German Chancellor Angela Merkel understands that. She is looking around to rearrange Germany’s international relations. She has a lot of options. Already it seems too late to go back.

The NY Times is furious. It is retaliating with an attack on Trump advisor Jared Kushner for setting up backchannel diplomatic communications with Russia. That is standard operating procedure for governments. The NYT wants to prevent normalization of relations with Russia.

Discussion between the Trump administration and Russia also involves establishment of international conditions for an enduring peace in Syria. The Israel lobby does not want that – it wants all Arab countries broken up into sectarian mini-states. The defeat of the outside-organized and funded terrorist mercenaries in Syria would be a historic setback to Israeli policy.

Hence the NYT has a lot of company, most of it liberal: publications like the Atlantic, also the Soros operations, the Israel lobby, the Democratic Party, and Joseph Goebbels. Their main instrument is the hoax that “Russia hacked the election.”

These things happen because the United States is too rich, too developed, and too productive for its capitalist economy to function coherently any longer. The capitalists are fighting each other tooth and nail, economic “Globalists” versus “America First.”

We need an end to the war in Syria and the policy of “regime change.” We do not need a war with Russia. We do not need NATO. We do not need parties like the Democrats that specialize in demagogy and lies. Liberalism has become obsolete. We need an Independent Workers Party based on the economic, political, and ideological needs of the working class. That is the crucial step forward at the time.

Why States Still Use Barrel Bombs

Smoke ascends after a Syrian military helicopter allegedly dropped a barrel bomb over the city of Daraya on Jan. 31.(FADI DIRANI/AFP/Getty Images) Summary Barrel bombs are not especially effective weapons. They are often poorly constructed; they fail to detonate more often than other devices constructed for a similar purpose; and their lack of precision means they can have a disproportionate effect on civilian populations. However, combatants continue to use barrel bombs in conflicts, including in recent and ongoing conflicts in Africa and the Middle East, and they are ideally suited to the requirements of resource-poor states. Analysis Barrel bombs are improvised devices that contain explosive filling and shrapnel packed into a container, often in a cylindrical shape such as a barrel. The devices continue to be dropped on towns all over Syria . Indeed, there have been several documented cases of their use in Iraq over the past months, and residents of the city of Mosul, which was re

Russia Looks East for New Oil Markets

Click to Enlarge In the final years of the Soviet Union, Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev began orienting his foreign policy toward Asia in response to a rising Japan. Putin has also piloted a much-touted pivot to Asia, coinciding with renewed U.S. interest in the area. A good expression of intent was Russia's hosting of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in 2012 in Vladivostok, near Russia's borders with China and North Korea. Although its efforts in Asia have been limited by more direct interests in Russia's periphery and in Europe, Moscow recently has been able to look more to the east. Part of this renewed interest involves finding new export markets for Russian hydrocarbons. Russia's economy relies on energy exports, particularly crude oil and natural gas exported via pipeline to the West. However, Western Europe is diversifying its energy sources as new supplies come online out of a desire to reduce its dependence on Russian energy supplies . This has

LONDON POLICE INDIRECTLY ENCOURAGE CRIMINALS TO ATTACK RUSSIAN DIPLOMATIC PROPERTY

The diplomat revealed the response by the London police was discouraging. Police told that the case does not have any prospects and is likely to be closed. This was made despite the fact that the British law enforcement was provided with video surveillance tapes and detailed information shedding light on the incident. By this byehavior, British law inforcements indirectly encourage criminals to continue attacks on Russian diplomatic property in the UK.
