larry johnson covers the week that was, including a video with judge napolitano and ray mcgovern;

It has been a busy day. Ray and I did our usual Friday chat with the Judge. We focused, initially, on the Russian/Chinese alliance. Putin and Xi are fast friends and, together, they represent a powerful alliance that is going to re-shape the old world order controlled by the United States. I am not arguing that Russia and China are perfect societies, but the United States is no longer in a position to hector the rest of the world and dictate what is appropriate policy.

The poverty and violence that are the hallmarks of most of America’s formerly great cities, along with the rampant corruption among U.S. politicians at all levels of society, disqualifies any American leader from criticizing the actions of any other politician. What is troubling is that leading political figures, like Lindsay Graham and Joe Biden, are so utterly clueless in their rants about what the United States should do overseas. The Biden team, for example, disgraced itself when it criticized India for allegedly persecuting minorities, while Biden’s Department of Justice ruthlessly prosecutes people who oppose Biden. Russia and China have had their fill of America’s hypocrisy and are not going to submit to bullying by Uncle Sam.

It is noteworthy that Biden and Blinken declare Russia is committing genocide, when the actual number of civilian casualties inflicted by Russia in the war in Ukraine are scant, while Israel inflicts genuine slaughter on defenseless Palestinian civilians. This level of hypocrisy has a tangible consequence — it has destroyed whatever vestige of U.S. moral credibility remained.

There is no doubt that the United States will continue to try to use sanctions, especially against weaker countries, in order to compel them to adhere to U.S. political and economic interests. But the emergence of a vibrant Russian/Chinese partnership is creating an alternative economic and political platform that is attracting more nations with each passing week............more........
