"How the West Brought War to Ukraine", by Benjamin Abelow is a concise but useful history to NATO's implementation war with Russia. It provides much of the background necessary to understand why this war was very much avoidable but made inescapable by the political actions of the NATO collective. While its brevity prevents it from going into details or considerations for all sources on the madder, it is a very readable work that quickly delivers the most important arguments about the many Western provocations against Russia.

Today I’m talking again to Dr. Dr. Alfred de Zayas, a Professor at the Geneva School of Diplomacy, who used to work as a senior lawyer in the Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights and later became the first UN Independent Expert on International Order, serving in that capacity from 2012 to 2018. Two years ago, Alfred wrote an important scholarly article entitled “Who will guards over the guardians” about the weaponization of human rights and how the west is transforming the entire discourse into a geopolitical tool.

Israel's Terrorist Origin: What The Media Won't Tell You | Dr. Dr. Alfred de Zayas
War is not a choice. War is a system—a self-perpetuating process. And in the US we have a deadly principe of mass-slaughter and violence baked into the logic of the economic organisation of the nation. Listen to Professor Radhika Desai dismantling the core of the imperial logic with her Geopolitical Economy approach to Marxist theory. Many of you will know her since she is a prolific writer and guest on many YouTube shows.

[Part 1 of 2] ANNOUNCEMENT: SUBSCRIBE to Harrison Berger's new page on Rumble, "No Tribe" for more content. Thanks to Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, the US may soon sign a nuclear deal with Iran. But sinister forces in Washington are working overtime to prevent that from happening, mainly Israel and their lobbyists who have long wanted a regime change war in Iran. Meanwhile, national security officials like Sebastian Gorka want to send even more US soldiers to Somalia, risking yet another American war. And as the prospect of even more Middle East warns grows, US support for Israel's campaign in Gaza deepens. All this despite Trump's promise to end the wars. To explain why all of this is happening, independent journalist Harrison Berger is joined by CIA Whistleblower John Kiriakou.

The emperor is naked by now in so many areas that it is difficult to still find even just a shred of fabric somewhere. Even financially, there is no more sweet talking the situation. The US economy is only weeks away from a real supply shock that the bond marked it not playing ball with Trump's trade wars. Today I’m talking to Sean Foo. Many of you will probably know Sean because he is the host of a very successful and useful YouTube channel on geoeconomics on which he posts daily analysis about the global economy and the impact of political events on various markets. I find his analysis always insightful and realistic, so I am very happy he agreed to answer some of my questions. Sean, welcome!
