Private WhatsApp messages shared with The Telegraph reveal how U.K. health officials, including former health secretary Matt Hancock, made COVID-19 policy decisions based on political expediency rather than science, as health officials claimed publicly.
Former President Jimmy Carter, who had won the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize, shakes hands with President George W. Bush (Bush Archives)March 8, 2003: In an op-ed for the New York Times, former President Jimmy Carter opposes going to war in Iraq.
“As a Christian and as a president who was severely provoked by international crises, I became thoroughly familiar with the principles of a just war, and it is clear that a substantially unilateral attack on Iraq does not meet these standards,” Carter declares. “This is an almost universal conviction of religious leaders, with the most notable exception of a few spokesmen of the Southern Baptist Convention who are greatly influenced by their commitment to Israel based on eschatological, or final days, theology.”
“[W]ith our own national security not directly threatened and despite the overwhelming opposition of most people and governments in the world, the United States seems determined to carry out military and diplomatic action that is almost unprecedented in the history of civilized nations.”
Ah, That’s What It Is.

When even ‘Jihadi’ Julian Röpcke begins to doubt Zelenskiy, it becomes obvious that the Ukrainian leader is losing international support as fast as his troops are giving up ground.As covered in this article, the fall of Artemovsk (Bakhmut) is imminent, Russian forces now closing in on the center of the town. Notwithstanding the blatantly obvious, Ukrainian president Zelenskiy is demanding that his troops not retreat, this causing amazement and the shaking heads from observers around the globe. This piece will examine how obstinacy on the part of Kiev will lead to further suffering.
US Joint Chiefs Chair, General Mark Milley (L) paid an unannounced visit to a US military base in Northeast Syria, March 3, 2023The sudden unannounced arrival of the top US military officer General Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, at a dusty American base in Syria’s remote northeast on Friday may call to mind a famous quote by Dick Cheney, vice-president in the George W Bush presidency: “The good Lord didn’t see fit to put oil and gas only where there are democratically elected regimes friendly to the United States. Occasionally we have to operate in places where, all considered, one would not normally choose to go. But we go where the business is.”

In the latest instance of the Australian media’s deluge of propaganda geared toward manufacturing consent for war with China, Nine Entertainment-owned newspapers The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age have brought together a panel of “experts” to assess how well-prepared Australia is for a hot war with its primary trading partner. The question of if that war is necessary or should be prepared for is left completely unexamined.
I will be discussing the latest reaction to Russia’s progress in Bakhmut, US and German talks at the White House, and the China Spy Crane Scandal that broke yesterday. Danny Haiphong
The House voted 414-2 last week to maintain US sanctions on Syria despite the earthquakes that have killed thousands of Syrians in the last few weeks.
AOC and the Squad voted for the measure. The only opposition came from two Republicans including Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia.
US President Joe Biden (L) and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz at the White House, Washington, DC, March 3, 2023The dash for the White House in Washington on Friday by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz remains a riddle wrapped in a mystery. Scholz landed in DC, drove to the White House and was received by President Biden in Oval Office for a conversation that lasted over an hour. No aides were present. And he flew back to Berlin.
The glib talk of people dying for no good cause, but rather only for a clique of clowns and their imperial circus, is the ultimate sick joke.

‘Western’ media can not decide if Bakhmut is a strategic city or has little strategic value. They claim both is the case.
Bakhmut is of course of strategic value. It is covering the crossing of three major train lines and four major roads (M-03, M-32, T-13-02, T-05-13). As such it is the linchpin of the whole Donbas region. Besides that it also has some valuable mineral mines.

Stavroula Pabst, a writer in Greece, has published an interesting piece on the nefarious purpose of fact-checking and ‘dis-information’ debunking.
The piece explains this by going back to the writings of the French philosopher Guy Debord and his musings about ‘spectacles’.
