Billions from Russia's frozen assets will go to help Ukraine's military

“Under the plan, the European Union will send as much as $3.25 billion in profits from frozen Russian assets to Ukraine to help finance its military...”

So, seized and frozen Russian assets are being diverted to military support instead of reconstruction.  This doesn't have anything to do with Russia paying for its war damages; that's a flagrant lie with the fragrance of manure.  European countries are trying to weasel out of obligations and...

Biden is losing World War III

“Biden, seemingly caught in the vice grip of November electoral calculus, is refusing to acknowledge that World War III is already upon us, let...”

Pay close attention to the tone and tenor of Toth's and Sweet's opinion.  It is an opinion steeped in the conventional wisdom of neoliberal policymaking, introduced by Ronald Reagan, where US influence was expanded using economic weapons without regard for damage caused to the American people....

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  30 Comments  •  6 Likes  •  9 months ago

“Cohen has acknowledged he was able to pull in the lucrative contracts thanks to his position at the time as the president's personal attorney....”

So, after all the salacious and sordid tidbits the unbiased liberal press thrives on, Michael Cohen makes the most stunning revelation of all.  Michael Cohen admits he was given a seat at the grifter trough and handed a YUGE spoon.  But Cohen couldn't control his own ego.  Does Michael Avenatti...

“Police broke up an apparent party dubbed a "satanist gathering" outside the Iranian capital and arrested some 260 people, including three Europeans.”

News from inside Palestine's main benefactor.  Are the protesters in the United States telling us that Jews are doing it wrong?

NATO risks World War III in Ukraine — while lining the defense industry's pockets

“... for those trying to "save the people and infrastructure of Ukraine," I am truly sad to report that you have failed”

Ukraine cannot win this war against Russia -- without nuclear weapons.  All the advanced technology in the US arsenal will not win against Russia.  That is the unspoken truth of the situation.  These prognostications about a Russian nuclear threat are as much wishful thinking as warning.  Europe...

America's biggest energy scam is happening now

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  1 Comments  •  3 Likes  •  10 months ago

“The unholy alliance between America's governments and the fossil fuel industry has been going on for decades, undeterred and unpunished.”

Environmental scapegoating of oil will not avoid the coming collapse of the petrodollar.  Neoliberal shysters still blow a lot smoke about Bretton Woods establishing the US dollar as the reserve currency for the world.  But that ended in 1971 when the value of the dollar was allowed to float...

Clinton adviser says Biden campaign 'doing it all wrong'

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  8 Comments  •  6 Likes  •  10 months ago

“If Mr. Biden wants to serve another four years, he has to stop being dragged to the left”

Could George McGovern beat Joe Biden?  Voters of a certain vintage understands the implications of that question.  But the growing ranks of young and ignorant voters won't understand and that opens the door for any number of possibilities.  By the same token, advice from a former Clinton adviser...

US Jamming Tech Is Worse Than Russia's: Ex-Pentagon Officials

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  2 Comments  •  3 Likes  •  10 months ago

“The US appears to have been outclassed by its rivals, such as Russia, in its capacity to remotely take out enemy weapons using jamming technology.”

Isn't there an app for that?  We have apps to fix ovens.  Apps to drive our cars.  Apps to steal our personal info.  Apps that protect us from terrorists.  We just have to buy the hardware from Apple, in China, and wait for an eastern European to code the software.

Questions swirl about Nikki Haley’s next move

“Speculation is swirling over the role Nikki Haley will play in the run-up to November as she racks up primary votes against former President Trump...”

If not Trump then who?  The point really isn't about Nikki Haley.  Even though Trump has won more than enough delegates, the nomination really is still up in the air.  The objective liberal courts could throw a 'hail Mary' and still toss Trump in jail.  Democrats may well open the Pandora's box...

Corporate America Is Going Un-Woke: Reversing DEI, Sustainability Plan

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  14 Comments  •  3 Likes  •  10 months ago

“Companies were eager to undertake ESG and DEI efforts a few years ago. Now, their talk and actions are changing.”

The value of anything, including woke hype, depends upon someone buying it.  With Joe Biden's inflation eating away at the dollar, people don't want to spend money on warm, fuzzy, feel-good promises.  The commercial exploitation of 'woke' only resulted in identity creep and increasing competition...
