caitlin has more to say about the empire's ukraine game;

Turkey’s President Erdoğan has officially withdrawn Ankara’s objection to the addition of Finland and Sweden to NATO membership, with the three countries signing a trilateral memorandum at a NATO summit in Madrid.

The removal of Erdoğan’s objection was reportedly obtained via significant natsec concessions from the other two nations largely geared toward facilitating Turkey’s ongoing conflict with regional Kurdish factions, and it removes the final obstacle to Finland and Sweden beginning the process of becoming NATO members. Finland’s addition will more than double the size of NATO’s direct border with Russia, a major national security concern for Moscow.

“Sweden and Finland moved rapidly to apply to NATO in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, reversing decades of security policy and opening the door to the alliance’s ninth expansion since 1949,” Axios reports.

So the western empire will be expanding NATO again in response to a war that was predominantly caused by NATO expansion. Brilliant...........more........

 julian assange was doing a better job than his peers and is being persecuted for that, with no notice being given by those 'peers';

It has become easier over the last month for governments to kill or imprison journalists whom they want to silence. But the most sinister aspect of this assault on freedom of speech is that it is facing such limited resistance from the very media that is under attack.

US intelligence agencies concluded in a report declassified by President Joe Biden that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had ordered the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in 2018. Biden began by treating him as a pariah, but is now reversing this policy in the run-up to his visit to Saudi Arabia next month which is aimed at persuading MBS to pump more crude to replace Russian exports and bring down the oil price.

In other words, the murderers of Khashoggi have got what they wanted and shown with grisly brutality that no Saudi dissident journalist is safe, a precedent that will be taken to heart in Turkey, where MBS has been visiting this week. All is now forgiven by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, newly allied to Saudi Arabia, while the trial in absentia of the 26 alleged murderers of Khashoggi had already been transferred from Ankara to Riyadh...........more..........

 the most evil government in history is the theme and you can tell us how this ain't so if you think you can;

The final straw that breaks the camels back must surely have been piled on this week. Lithuania has announced that it will close the treaty travel corridor between Belarus and Kaliningrad that has existed between the Russian allied countries to the east and their only Baltic Sea port for the past three decades. It is a move designed to enhance the power of the sanctions imposed by Europe and the West on Russia, following the conflict in Ukraine. This Lithuanian stance is of course advanced by the United States of America, who offer support following entry of Lithuania into the NATO alliance. Even Canada has stationed troops in Lithuania as have Germany and the USA , all part of their role in the proposed deterrence against further Russian military action on the continent of Europe.

Here’s the problem with this idea of added deterrence aimed at Russia. We in the West are the belligerent nations in the current setting. No white hat this time I’m afraid. As a vassal state Lithuania, Canada and the rest of the western alliance are all being led methodically and undeniably toward utter destruction by the most belligerent country in the history of mankind. Who you ask? The United States of America of course. Since the second world war ended in 1945, the US government has admitted to over 70 violent acts against nations and political opponents, coups and invasions, killing millions of innocents in every corner of the earth. Never before in history has a government sowed so much destruction, death and despair in its wake. Citizens of the vassal states of Europe and the Western alliance should take a moment to realize the consequences of hitching their wagon to this beast of death and destruction that is the US government as that evil group drags us toward the end of civilization.

We can read how Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III of National Defence, recently outlined the plan the government of the United States is employing in Ukraine to defeat Russia. This plan calls for the war in that puppet state to continue until Russia is bled dry, until the last Ukrainian is sacrificed on the alter of US governmental ambition to create ‘one world government’ ruled from Washington, controlling the entire Eurasian super continent. It is not about protecting democracy in Ukraine, it is about gaining control of the modern world, and Russia stands in the way of this ambition. Russia believes in national sovereignty, contrasted to an idea of domination by the US government over the whole of mankind. What is the big export product or service offered by the government of the US to the world anyway? It is death and destruction and the drunken madness that is the lust for war. The US government is the largest purveyor of military hardware in the history of mankind. The vassal states are compelled to buy equipment from the US military industrial complex of companies that manufacture stinger missiles, and F35 Lightning advanced jet fighter planes, howitzers, and bioweapons all available from Uncle Sam for a fee............more........
