"Both sides have committed atrocities."

This sentence is used to achieve one thing: equivalence.

If both sides have committed atrocities, then there is no aggressor.

If there is no aggressor, there is no victim.

If there is no victim, there is no crime.

If there is no crime, there is no accountability.

"Both sides" takes a situation with a history, with a power differential, with a military budget on one side that exceeds the GDP of the other, with an occupying power and an occupied population, and flattens it into a symmetric conflict between two equally culpable parties.

It sounds like balance.

It is the elimination of context presented as fairness.

The person who breaks into your home and the person defending their home have not both committed equivalent acts by the fact of violence being present on both sides.

"Both sides" is what you say when you know who the aggressor is and have decided that saying so would be inconvenient.

CIA Director John Ratcliffe called China “our greatest threat.”

But this is not really about a “China threat.”

It is about American decline meeting a civilization it cannot break.

China has spent decades trying to surpass its own previous stage:
build better industry, better infrastructure, better science, better education, better technology.

America has spent decades trying to prevent others from catching up.

It sanctioned the Soviet Union.
It disciplined Germany.
It crushed Japan’s rise.
It bends Europe into strategic obedience.
It blocks, bans, tariffs, blacklists, and weaponizes every system it controls.

So when Washington says China is a threat, what it really means is:

China is the first rival we cannot easily destroy.

That is the wound.

America grew up believing history ended with itself.
That it was the final empire.
The permanent winner.
The author of rules.
The judge of legitimacy.
The only power allowed to rise without permission.

Yet America has no civilizational memory of humiliation.

It was not colonized.
It was not carved up by foreign powers.
It was not burned, invaded, occupied, sanctioned into weakness, and forced to rebuild from national trauma.

China was.

China understands rise and fall.
Dynasties. Collapse. Humiliation. Revival.
The long rhythm of history.

America understands victory.

So when it finally faces a civilization that grows stronger under pressure, it panics.

Not because China wants to destroy America.
But because America knows what it has done to every weaker country it could dominate.

And now it is terrified by one question:

If we lose our monopoly, will China treat us the way we treated the world?

Neil Oliver compares voting to a toy steering wheel given to a child—it provides the illusion of control while the real direction of travel is controlled elsewhere.

"The beginning of the solution is just to realise that you're inside a car that you're not driving, and the pedals and wheels—that you're invited to think have any bearing on the direction—are just plastic."

"It's humiliating and embarrassing to admit that you've been gulled by a fiction. But once enough people realise it, then effectively the lights in the theatre—to mix the metaphor—come on, and you realise that you're just looking at actors on a stage... and you can see the strings, and the trap doors, and the badly painted sets."

"And then you look for the brightly illuminated exits and you walk out the door."

The ICC was intended by the West to facilitate a hegemonic system of sovereign inequality by putting other leaders on trial. Between 2002 and 2015, almost 100% of ICC indictments were against Africans. The arrest warrant against Putin to legitimise the proxy war and undermine diplomacy fit the same objective. But the arrest warrant on Netanyahu could be a death sentence for the ICC, as it was not designed to target allies of the US and the Political West.

[Marta Havryshko @HavryshkoMarta]

Videos like this make me sick.

A bunch of warmongers and war profiteers cheering for an endless war against Russia—fought with Ukrainian blood and tears—while pretending they actually care.

At the very same time, they're announcing the creation of de facto "blocking detachments" to stop Ukrainian draft-age men from leaving the kill zone, ensuring there will always be more names added to the lists of the dead, the maimed, and the missing.

Lists to which these cynical vultures will later bring flowers, accompanied by mournful music.

The EU Parliament REJECTED Chat Control, but now they are forcing us to vote it AGAIN to revive it. What kind of democracy is this if we're forced to vote on the same issue over and over until they get the result they want?

Julian Assange to John Pilger on the reasons behind the US’ endless wars:

‘What I see is a vast sprawling estate, what we would traditionally call the military-intelligence complex or military-industrial complex…which is becoming more and more secretive, becoming more and more uncontrolled.

This is not a sophisticated conspiracy controlled at the top. This is a vast movement of self-interest by thousands and thousands of players all working together, and against each other to produce an end result. Which is Iraq and Afghanistan…’

NATO CAN'T WIN WAR WITH RUSSIA: RETIRED COMMODORE WARNS EUROPE FACES TOTAL DEFEAT

Retired Royal Navy Commodore Steve Jeremy commanded warships in the Fifth Destroyer Squadron and Britain's Fleet Air Arm. He later served as strategy director in the British embassy in Afghanistan. He has just delivered a devastating warning that European leaders are sleepwalking into catastrophe. They assume Russia will wait quietly until 2030 while Europe arms Ukraine to strike deep inside Russian territory. That assumption is pure fantasy.

THE CORE PROBLEM: LEADERS MISREAD THE NATURE OF THE WAR
➡️ Russia sees this as an existential defensive war against NATO expansion right up to its borders.
➡️ European elites wrongly call it Russian imperialism and refuse to accept decades of clear Russian warnings.
➡️ Without understanding the true nature of the war Europe has no chance of planning for it.

THE DEADLY TIMELINE MISCALCULATION
➡️ European leaders think Russia will sit still until they finish preparing in 2030.
➡️ Retired Commodore Steve Jeremy says Russia will strike early to stop future attacks.
➡️ The same calculation that pushed Russia into Donbas in 2022 applies right now.

THE OPENING RUSSIAN RESPONSE
➡️ Russia hits the exact factories in Germany, France and Britain that build drones and cruise missiles for Ukraine.
➡️ Europe invokes Article Five but quickly learns it guarantees nothing and nations can simply opt out.
➡️ The United States steps back after its defeat in Iran and refuses to send American soldiers to die in Europe.

THE MILITARY REALITY CHECK
➡️ Europe's missiles and aircraft face Russia's highly effective S-400 and S-500 air defense systems.
➡️ Russia destroys most incoming attacks and takes a heavy toll on Western aircraft.
➡️ European land bases remain almost naked against hypersonic missiles.

THE ECONOMIC KNOCKOUT BLOW
➡️ Russia destroys Europe's energy infrastructure exactly as it did in Ukraine.
➡️ With Russian oil and gas already cut off by self-defeating sanctions the continent faces instant crisis.
➡️ Lorries stop running, farms shut down and industry collapses within days.

THE NUCLEAR DETERRENCE DILEMMA
➡️ The only truly open question left is what Britain and France will do with their nuclear deterrents.
➡️ Using them would be suicidal — that is the end of Britain, the end of France and probably the end of a lot of Europe.
➡️ After the irrational actions European leaders have already taken, this possibility cannot be dismissed.

THE BOTTOM LINE
European leaders are leading their people into a war they have never properly thought through, cannot win and cannot even define victory against a nuclear power fighting for survival. The only rational escape is urgent diplomacy before the first missiles are fired.

This is what happens when slogans replace strategy.

[Crypto Tice @CryptoTice_]

BREAKING:

The EU is planning to require a passport to access the internet.

And they want to block VPNs to enforce it.

"The new age verification system cannot be bypassed via VPN."

Read that again.

A digital passport. For the internet.
Enforced by blocking the tools that protect your privacy.

This is what the trajectory looks like.
- Cash banned above €10,000.
- Bitcoin requires ID above €1,000.
- Privacy coins banned.
- MiCA eliminating 90% of crypto firms.

And now internet access tied to your identity.

With VPN circumvention specifically blocked.

Every layer of digital privacy.
Being dismantled one regulation at a time.

While America debates zero capital gains on Bitcoin.
Europe is building a system where every click, every transaction, every website visit.

Is tied to your passport.

This is not consumer protection.
This is digital authoritarianism.

And they're not hiding it anymore.

You won’t find a better explanation for why China is rising & the US is declining:

“In America, you can change parties but you can’t change policies. Billionaires control all policy. In China capital doesn’t have enshrined rights. In America, capital has risen above the nation.”

@kashishparpiani The real reason India hasn't kept pace with China has little to do with any 'trade-offs' from their democracy, as from the generalised, dysfunctional chaos and corruption that makes up the majority of Indian society.

Color revolution is a technology.

It has components: a grievance, real or amplified. A media infrastructure to distribute the narrative. Funded civil society organizations to provide organizational capacity. An opposition figure positioned as the democratic alternative. International recognition timed to delegitimize the target government at maximum vulnerability.

It has been deployed in China, Serbia, Georgia, Ukraine, Kyrgyzstan, Belarus, Moldova, Armenia, Lebanon, Iran, Tunisia, Egypt, Venezuela, Bolivia, and elsewhere.

The same political consultants. The same NGO infrastructure. The same NED and USAID funding pipelines. The same CNN chyrons.

Now look at domestic American politics.

The grievance, real or amplified. The media infrastructure distributing the narrative. The funded organizations providing organizational capacity. The figures positioned as the democratic alternative. The timed revelations designed to delegitimize targets at maximum vulnerability.

The technology developed abroad has the same architecture as the technology running at home.

The difference is the target.

Abroad, the target is a government that won't cooperate.

At home, the target is you.

Your attention. Your anger. Your vote. Your identity.

The hands are the same.

The stages are different.

Once you see the hands, neither stage looks the same.

🇺🇸 12 U.S. senators sent a letter saying 'Go after 🇮🇱 Israel and we go after you and your family.

Then came sanctions, frozen accounts, travel bans. It is deeply dangerous for states to bully international justice."

🚨Zelensky is a DANGER to the World

🚨He will go down in history as the person who destroyed his own country for fame and fortune.

🚨Andriy Bohdan, Zelensky's former chief of staff, revealed that in 2019 Putin offered him peace in exchange for special protection of the Donbas population, with the aim of ending the massacres of Russian-speaking Ukrainians by Ukrainian Nazis.

🚨Zelensky refused.

🚨In fact, Zelensky decides nothing.

🚨He is merely a pathetic puppet of the Americans and Brits

🚨In exchange for his work destroying his country and exterminating its people, he receives hundreds of millions of dollars in salaries.

🚨He's the stooge, and he's earned his right to maintain that from his EU handlers, from his globalist handlers, and from his ... he's got American handlers too, the neocons.

🚨Who is Zelensky?

Banned Elections
Pocketed Millions
Attacked his own people.
Banned Peace negotiations
Imprisoned journalists
Enforced conscription
Banned the opposition
Opressed the free Media
Banned a language
Banned a Church

Prof. Jeffrey Sachs: Zelensky is a danger to the world.

Candace Owens: “I think Zelensky is a criminal”

George Galloway: I'd call him a thief, I'd call him a fraud, I'd say that he fooled the Ukrainian people, that he was going to make peace.

Colonel Douglas Macgregor: Zelensky is a pathological liar.

Zelensky tries to pull NATO in war with Russia .

The only way for Volodymyr Zelensky to remain in power and avoid prison is to continue the war.

This man will go down in history as first-class crook, of which there have been many in history.

In 2019, Zelensky was elected on an overwhelming mandate to make peace with Russia.

Zelensky committed too many crimes and betrayed his people. He deserved Hitler's fate.

„Es gibt keine Gesellschaft mehr. Was es gibt, ist eine transnationale Sicherheitselite, die damit beschäftigt ist, die Welt mit Ihren Steuergeldern unter sich (und ihresgleichen) aufzuteilen. Die Kriegstreiber in diesem Land und anderen Ländern haben ein Bündnis geschlossen, um Geld aus den USA, der EU, aus jedem NATO-Staat heraus- und zu den eigenen (Finanz-)Eliten zurückzuschleusen, indem sie es im Blut der Menschen waschen, das in den Kriegen in Afghanistan, dem Irak, Somalia, dem Jemen, Pakistan vergossen wird.“

Jüngere werden vielleicht erschrecken, und vielleicht auch Vergessliche unter den Älteren, weil die Sätze, die Julian Assange 2011 auf der Antikriegsdemonstration in London gesagt hat, Sätze sind, die er gestern gesagt haben könnte. Sie beschreiben nämlich ein Muster: das Muster westlicher Wertekriege und ihrer drei wiederkehrenden Wesensmerkmale: Die Werte, mit denen sie legitimiert werden, gibt es nämlich nicht - jedenfalls nicht bei denen, die vorgeben, sie mit vorgehaltener Waffe zu vertreten. Und: Sie - ausnahmslos Angriffs- & Profitkriege - werden von der als „Verteidigungsbündnis“ vermarkteten NATO „antizipiert“, orchestriert & exekutiert und ziehen die weitere Vermögenskonzentration in den Händen Weniger nach sich, womit sie - ausnahmslos, aber nicht ausschließlich - der Profitmehrung professioneller Kriegsprofiteure dienen.

Immer dasselbe - in zeitlichen Schleifen, auratischen Wellen, historischen Episoden. Dasselbe eine Muster, wieder und wieder: dieselben knarzenden Argumentationsschemata & Narrationsabsolutismen. Dieselben Behauptungen, Tatsachenverdrehungen, Selbstvergewisserungen.

Dazu der immer selbe Raub an der Gesellschaft und den Menschen, die sie tragen. Dieselbe soziale Verarmung, dieselbe geistige Leere und dieselbe ethische Verelendung. Und immer dasselbe Elitenbereicherungs-, „Sicherheits“-, „Feindes“- & Tötungsmuster. Wieder und wieder und wieder.

Wir, die wir alt genug sind, uns (mit Assange) an die letzte Welle westlicher Wertekriege zu erinnern, können den erinnerungslosen Jüngeren heute nur eines sagen, nämlich: dass sie sich einmal erinnern werden. Wenn sie, nachdem (in 15 Jahren) die nächste Welle westlicher Wertekriege losgebrochen sein wird, ihrerseits auf erinnerungslose Junge treffen.

Assange hatte schon damals und hat noch heute recht. Wir müssen eigene Netzwerke und Bündnisse schließen, um unsere Werte gegen den eigennützigen Zynismus der Kriegstreiber zu behaupten. In diesem Land und anderen Ländern.

Heute vor 2 Jahren war Julian Assange nach 14jähriger politischer Verfolgung & Haft endlich wieder frei.

And the most lawyers explaining why none of this is a crime.

And somehow, it still manages to be the world’s moral lecturer.
