America’s “Game-Changing” HIMARS: The Rest of the Story
Monday, 6 June 2022 — NEO
Author: Brian Berletic
The United States has announced that it will be sending yet another heavy weapon system to Ukraine amid its ongoing proxy war with Russia. After sending thousands of Javelin anti-tank missiles and Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, and over 100 M777 howitzers (including several sent by US allies Australia and Canada), the US is preparing to send the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS), America’s latest multiple-launch rocket system (MLRS).

The World Doesn’t Work That Way Anymore
Monday, 6 June 2022 — Strategic Culture Foundation
Alastair Crooke
The fixation with Ukraine essentially is but a gloss pasted over the realities of a global order in decomposition.
The First World War signalled the end to a mercantilist order that had evolved under the aegis of European powers. One hundred years later, a very different economic order was in place (neoliberal cosmopolitanism). Believed by its architects to be universal and everlasting, globalisation transfixed the world for an extended moment, but then started the subsidence from its zenith – precisely at the moment the West was giving vent to its triumphalism at the fall of the Berlin Wall. NATO – as the order’s regulatory system – addressed its attendant ‘identity crisis’ by pushing for eastward expansion toward Russia’s western borders, disregarding the guarantees it had given, and Moscow’s virulent objections.

How Russia Can (And Will?) De-NATO-ize Europe
Mnoday, 6 June 2022 — Moon of Alabama
In a video published yesterday Gonzalo Lire, currently under house arrest in Karkov, is asking a very interesting question:
What Happens To Europe When Russia Wins? (vid)
Lira states, and I agree with him, that Russia will win the war in the Ukraine, take the south and east to likely create a new country and leave the rest of the cadaver for Poland, Hungary, Romania, Lithuania and others to feast on.
But then what?

Has Ukraine attained only virtual victory?
Sunday, 5 June 2022 — Quid Est Veritas
Let’s consider where the actual tide is
As the Western corporate media communicate reports of Ukrainian counterattacks, they speak about “turning” tides and Ukrainian forces recapturing territory. They ensure that you know all of Ukraine’s successes and none of their defeats. You would not be blamed if you thought that Ukrainian chances of victory or survival were improving. You may find the bravery of Ukrainian forces on the ground inspiring and that no one could beat Western hegemony no matter how much they tried. Yet are these thoughts supported by the context and the facts on the ground? Let’s investigate to find out.

UK: Is dissent now illegal? How worried should we be?
Monday, 6 June 2022 — Goodlaw Project
Join me for a special Good Law Project live event: “Is the UK shutting down dissent? Protest in the new age of policing powers” on Wednesday 15 June at 5pm.
The Government has changed the law to make it easier for the police to restrict where and how we protest, and it’s set to do so again in the coming months. For many, freedom of
assembly is essential to a healthy democracy. Just how worried should we be about the new powers the Government has given the police, and itself, to limit protest?

Ukraine Beyond Day 100 – Breaking Resistance, Deep Operation, A New Country
Saturday, 4 June 2022 — Moon of Alabama
Colonel Markus Reisner of the Austrian Army presents the current state (vid) of the war.
Two of the facts he mentions were new to me.
biggerThe Ukrainian army has moved seven brigades of its Territorial Defense Forces from the west into the area east of the Dnieper. If these were fully maned each will have had some 3,000 soldiers. That are a lot of troops but they are pure infantry without heavy weapons and with extremely little training. Col. Reisner also showed a collection of 15 videos in which members of such and other units describe hopeless situations, declare a retreat or call out their commanders for neglect.

This week the Biden administration green-lighted delivery of long-range rocket systems to Ukraine capable of hitting Russian territory. Russia condemned it as a “direct provocation” and warned that the U.S. move was widening the war.

Why is Everything Broken?
Thursday, 2 June, 2022 — Edward Curtin
“Begin then with a fracture, a cesura, a rent; opening a crack in this fallen world, a shaft of light.” Norman O. Brown, Love’s Body
Being sick for the past few weeks has had its advantages. It has forced me to take a break from writing since I could not concentrate enough to do so. It has gifted me with a deeper sympathy for the vast numbers of the seriously ill around the world, those suffering souls without succor except for desperate prayers for relief. And it has allowed thoughts to think me as I relinquished all efforts at control for a few miserable weeks of “doing nothing” except napping, reading short paragraphs in books, watching some sports and a documentary, and being receptive to the light coming through the cracks in my consciousness.

Bilderberg does China
Friday, 3 June 2022 — Strategic Culture Foundation
By Pepe Escobar
Photo: Flickr/barnyzWhen Davos and Bilderberg messenger boys look at The Grand Chessboard, they realize that their era of perpetual free lunch is over.
Discreetly, as under the radar as a looming virus, the 68th Bilderberg meeting is currently underway in Washington, D.C. Nothing to see here. No conspiracy theories about a “secret cabal”, please. This is just a docile, “diverse group of political leaders and experts” having a chat, a laugh, and a bubbly.

Moon of Alabama earlier explored how Russia was weaponizing everything. This after Donald Trump had done so many good things for Russia. Then Putin lost everything he ever might have had.
It has been getting worse since.
Now Russia, and Putin himself, are ‘running out’ of whatever may have been left.
