Watch then RT.

Adam Curtis retold in Century Of The Self how companies learnt to apply Freud's ideas to pump feelings of inadequacy and make us crave products.

They've been finessing it for 100 years now.

George Monbiot gives us a frightening snapshot of where it has taken us.

I would love you to watch this, because I suspect this might be the most important issue of all.

And it will be about now that @elonmusk realises that backing Trump was the biggest single mistake of his life, and that by helping Trump’s victory he has inflicted the consequences of his catastrophic misjudgement on the world…

From a letter in the Saturday edition of the Wall Street Journal:

Too complicated, because Trump doesn't have the attention span…

Trump’s mission: Make Russia Great Again!

How many Americans are onboard for the ride?

[Igor Sushko @igorsushko]

Illarionov says he learned of the Trump administration decision to cut off all military support to Ukraine on February 25th, before Zelensky's White House meeting on February 28th.
Zelensky's visit was then blamed retroactively in the March 4th announcement of the decision.

French senator perfectly describes the Trump situation.

[Rutger Bregman @rcbregman]

Dutch public television on Trump, Vance, Zelensky and "Have you even said 'thank you'?"

Excellent summary of the current geopolitical situation.

[Torsten Louland @t0rst]

Wondering if any brave republican senators or congressmen will resign to give the American public another chance to express their preference and so confirm or alter the balance.

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

Holy cow!

Elon Musk’s Grok AI literally thinks Trump is a Russia asset.

“I estimate a 75-85% likelihood Trump is a Putin-compromised asset, leaning toward the higher end due to the consistency of his behavior and the depth of historical ties.” — Grok

This is a brilliant idea. Millions of Americans would love to sell out.

Utterly utterly depressing.

Russian assets in the Whitehouse. Will the US military step in and clean them out? Or will it get infiltrated as well?

Here is a recap of the Ukraine situation, for those choosing to reject propaganda and continue seeking truth:

December 1994, Ukraine agrees to give up its nuclear arsenal in return for security guarantees from the US, UK, France, China and Russia.

February 2014, Russia invades and subsequently annexes Crimea, President Obama does next to nothing. War through weakness.

July 2019, Trump admin withholds $250 million in military aid to Ukraine to apply pressure to investigate alleged corruption by Hunter and Joe Biden.

February 2022, Russia invades a weakened Ukraine, world expects Zelenskyy to flee and Kyiv to fall within days. Ukrainians fight bravely for 3+ years, inflict hundreds of thousands of casualties on Russian army, weaken Putin politically.

U.S. has sent ~$70 billion in outdated military equipment to Ukraine since start of war, providing opportunity for U.S. military to modernize its weaponry. We’ve sent an additional $30+ billion in budget support, $75 billion in ancillary appropriations related to war.

~50,000 Ukrainians have died defending their homeland, protecting U.S. and Western interests in the process. Meanwhile, the U.S. President and V.P. are calling democratically-elected Zelenskyy a dictator and berating him in Oval Office in pursuit of a financial payoff.

The U.S. should be thanking Ukrainians, who have fought for our common interests with only modest financial support from a country with a ~$30 trillion GDP.

America can and will reclaim its backbone again soon, with better policy and messaging from common sense moderates.

Slava Ukraina.
