At This Time in the World There Is Only One Important Decision Waiting to be Made
World War III is about to happen unless Putin stands down
Paul Craig Roberts
Except for the neoconservatives whose agenda it is, I sometimes wonder if I am the only other person who understands what the Ukraine conflict is about. While we await Washington’s decision about firing missiles into Russia, I will explain how we reached the current crisis.
In 2007 Washington declared war on Russia without announcing it. Putin provoked Washington’s secret declaration of war when he rejected Washington’s uni-polar hegemony at the Munich Security Conference.
Washington’s first attack was a year later when, while Putin was distracted at the Beijing Olympics, Washington sent a US trained and equipped Georgian army into South Ossetia. The purpose was not to defeat Russia militarily. Instead, it was a calculated risk that Putin might stand down and to avoid a military conflict that the West could misrepresent as restoring the Soviet Empire, and allow the Russian protectorate to be absorbed into Georgia. The American neoconservatives were gambling with lives not their own that Putin and thereby Russia would be weakened by giving in, thus opening more paths of aggression against Russia.
The neoconservatives’ plot against Putin might have worked except the Georgian invaders killed Russian peace-keepers. In 2008 Putin was trying to resurrect Russian pride, which was lost with the Soviet collapse 1991, and could not turn his back on dead Russian soldiers in South Ossetia. He returned from China, sent in an army, and smashed the US trained and equipped Georgian army in 5 days.
Corruption in the Judiciary: A Critical Look at Kamala Harris's Role in Femi-Justice
By Chris Spencer
Every Father in America Risks He and his Wealth Becoming Rabbit Food for Judges, Lawyers, Commissioners and Pscho-Babble Spokes "persons" all freeloading off of the work of others. The Family Parasite Court System, Now Overseen by Her Lordess, Kamala Harris...
In theory, integrity in the judiciary should be the bedrock of the rule of law and a fully functioning democracy. In practice, this noble ideal is far from the truth. Under leaders such as Kamala Harris—who tout their experience in the law while overseeing a judiciary thoroughly corrupted and riddled with ethical breaches—the foundation of our system of justice has been gravely and irreversibly undermined. Her tenure as Attorney General of California has been marred by a disturbing trend of failing to uphold standards of integrity, especially when it comes to the rights of men within the justice system. How does Harris tout a judicial system that has on her watch, ground innumerable men into grist?
High-Profile Cases of Judicial Corruption
One glaring case of judicial corruption was the impeachment of Judge Thomas Porteous in 2010 for bribery and perjury. He accepted money from lawyers and subsequently lied about it to federal investigators. This case illustrates that federal judges can indeed be corrupt, highlighting the larger problem: leadership, such as Harris, does nothing to stem the endemic corruption in the judiciary; corrupt activity continues with impunity.
Money Speaks: Justice for Sale
The alarming trend today is shaped by judicial campaign contributions, termed "justice for sale." For instance, former Pennsylvania Supreme Parasitic Court Justice Michael Eakin drew criticism for salacious emails he sent. His lack of impartiality when attorneys from his online network appeared in front of him raises red flags over the disproportionate impact financial interests have on judicial decisions. On Harris's watch, this system has degraded into an elitist playground wherein the ordinary citizen, particularly men seeking justice, has been left behind.
Whatever Perversion of Life They Desire
When people are convinced of the normalcy of abominations, they will
submit to any cruelty desired by the State.

The Biden-Harris administration's 'America Last' policies have intentionally left the country vulnerable. Biden and Harris drained the strategic petroleum reserve and sent hundreds of billions in cash and weapons to Ukraine. The regime sent vital electrical transformers to Ukraine that had been stored away for exactly such disasters as Hurricane Helene.
Biden and Harris spent $640 million dollars, nearly all the FEMA funds intended for emergency preparedness on their precious illegal immigrant voters. Now when the American people desperately need assistance with Hurricane Helene, FEMA is 'broke.' FEMA doesn't have any money left for hurricane season, which typically lasts through November.
In a shocking firsthand account, a SpaceX engineer in storm-battered North Carolina reveals that Biden and Harris blocked shipments by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), of critical goods for relief efforts into the storm-battered region. It appears to be the intention of Biden and Harris to destroy American communities, infrastructure, and the American people.
"We can see what can be, unburdened by what has been." The Marxist phrase often quoted by Harris, highlights a common theme in revolutionary thought: The necessity of destroying the existing socio-economic infrastructure in order to build a new communist Marxist state. They intend total physical, economic, psychological and ideological change.
The little democrat communist crony capitalist hypocrite AOC was a poor bartender in a New York dive before being selected to office. Now suddenly worth thirty million dollars, she frequently uses the Carl Marx quote: "We have a world to win", meaning, 'a world to subvert'. Their corrupt vision won't be constrained by historical, traditional, or moral American values.
The democrats and their Marxist school teachers are removing all reference to the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and Pledge of Allegiance from the American education curriculum. Constitutional laws and rights are an anathema to Communism. The minds of American youths must be unburdened and cleansed of these traditional concepts.
Chain of Fools: A World on the Brink via Bush, Obama, Trump, Harris, and Netanyahu
By Tracy Turner
U.S. administrations, Israel, global conflict, misinformation, free speech, AIPAC, ADL, public opinion, Middle East, Iran, oil revenue, civil liberties, censorship, political erosion, economic decline, cultural fragmentation, corporate interests, propaganda, war likelihood, geopolitical tensions, democracy, authoritarianism.
The policy decisions of former and active U.S. administrations, in concert with those taken by Israel, have significantly destabilized world politics and weakened America against foreign threats as it turns its guns on misinformation and battles to suppress freedom of speech.
AIPAC, the ADL, and their tightly-knit mafia of media outlets have worked increasingly to shape global narratives in ways that may get us closer to global conflict. This 'coalition' comes with a story that frequently browbeats debate and feeds an acid-division environment ripe for escalation. As geopolitical flashpoints around the world heat up, their impact on public opinion and policy is all but more pronounced.
The Danger Dance of Global Politics
Living in the shadow of influential leaders like George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Donald Trump, Kamala Harris, and Benjamin Netanyahu, the world is condemned to a tragic opera of folly. Each has contributed to a narrative of distrust and aggression, binding nations in a noose of hate. The U.S. and Israel, as two of the most influential players, maintain contentious policies that draw the world nearer to conflict and prolong tensions in the Middle East.
Kievan Russia (882−1242): The Original National State of Russians
In fact, the first national state of Russians – Kievan Russia, originated in
the Viking’s attempt to impose trade control over the territories around
the main watersheds from the Baltic to the Black Sea.
by Dr. Vladislav B. Sotirović
In the years from 882 to 1242 the first and original national state organization of the Russians– the Kievan Russia (not Kyivan Rusia or Kyiv Rus’!) became directly and indirectly subject to external political influences by several external political units of the time. According to the official historiographical traditions (mainly of Western origin), Kievan Russia was established and governed by the Nordic Vikings (“Varyagi/Varangians/Rus’”) with the Dnieper as its axis with Kiev as capital and later received Christianity of the Eastern (Greek)type from the Byzantium in the south and was finally conquered by the barbaric Mongol Tartars from the east.
The origin of the term “rus’” is, actually, still not scientifically investigated and, therefore, clear (due to the lack of proper historical sources). However, in the early period of the state’s emergence, the Eastern Slavs did not use the term “rus’” to refer to themselves. The term is, in fact, related to the Old Norse word “rōþr”, which means a rower or a campaign by boatspropelled by oars. In the 9th and 10th centuries, “rus’” referred to the ducal inner circle and his confidants, the army – an elite social group. In Byzantine written historical sources circulating until the 11th century, “rus’” (“Rhōs”) referred to the Scandinavians or the NordiVikings. Around that time another name, “Varangians” (“Varangoi”), also appeared. Varangians were primarily Nordic-Scandinavian mercenaries in the Byzantine Imperial army. They were elite warriors valued for their valor and loyalty and even formed the Emperor’s personal bodyguard. The terms “rus’” and “Varangians” have been used synonymously since the 11th century.
“Welcome to Hell”: U.S. Silence on Israel’s Network of Torture Camps
By Amy Goodman & Denis Moynihan
“When we got off the bus, a soldier said to us: ‘Welcome to hell.’” Those are the words of 45 year-old Fouad Hassan, a father of five from Nablus in the occupied West Bank, who was recently held in Israel’s Megiddo Prison. His words open a devastating report from the Israeli human rights group B’Tselem, exposing Israel’s rapid conversion of Megiddo and eleven other prisons into a network of “torture camps” following Hamas’ October 7, 2023 attack on southern Israel.
Fouad is one of 55 Palestinians interviewed by B’Tselem for the report, 30 from the West Bank, 21 from the Gaza Strip, and four who are Israeli citizens. Their searing testimonies are supplemented by news accounts and official reports, creating a shocking mosaic of systemic neglect, abuse, torture, and killings inside the Israeli prison system that have intensified since October 7th, all at the direction of Israel’s far-right Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir.
The accounts B’Tselem has brought to light are shocking. Sari Huriyyah, a 53-year-old real estate lawyer and an Israeli citizen, was arrested over a Facebook post on November 4th. He described what happened to Abd a-Rahman Mar’i, a 23-year-old man held in an isolation cell next to him:
“He screamed in pain constantly, begging for a doctor. The guard would come now and then and swear: ‘Eat Shit! Shut up!’ In the morning, the guards came to count us. One said, ‘Get up, you animal. Get up, you dog.’ They checked him and the whole place went silent. Finally, the doctor said, ’There’s nothing to be done.’ One of the guards said to them, ‘My condolences,’ and they all started laughing. They put him in a black body bag, and carried him out like trash.”
The Kamala Harris Security Obsession: A Critical Look
Harris's record displays a troubling callousness towards those
entangled in the criminal justice system
Gary Smith, PhD.
Kamala Harris Security Criminal Justice Reform National Security Policies Law and Order vs. Justice Criminalization of Poverty Police Misconduct Immigration Policies Surveillance and Privacy Civil Rights and Freedoms Community Safety Initiatives Three Strikes Law Impact California Attorney General Digital Age Security Environmental Justice Policies Post-9/11 Political Climate Kamala Harris
Security is the pillar that has most supported Kamala Harris' political career. It's not just a matter of rhetoric but a philosophical stance that shapes policies and public discourse. Since her swearing-in, Vice-President Harris has expressed views on security from national defense to criminal justice reform Her obsession with security often drowns out discussions around freedom and liberty along with the broad implications of her policies.
A Consistent Theme
From her time as District Attorney in San Francisco to the Vice Presidency, Harris frequently employs the term "security." This term is nearly habitual in her speeches, interviews, and policy memos. She linked national security to cybersecurity and foreign relations in the Senate, claiming that a secure nation equals prosperity. Her emphasis on community safety often translates into an endorsement of law enforcement initiatives aimed at creating a veneer of safety (often referred to as the Nanny State).
Yet, her obsession with ‘security’ raises critical questions. The pervasive notion of security may suggest a motive of control —either through government means or at the expense of individual freedoms. Harris's rhetoric frequently conveys a desire to "lock it down," whether in discussions on strict iimmigration policies or the promotion of high-tech surveillance systems. Her delivery during speeches smacks of a phobic woman trying to quell her inner tremors with a police state.
The Israeli Government Must Be Stopped
By David Swanson, World BEYOND War
The Israeli government has been dragging Western weapons and militaries into wars for far too long, putting all of the world — and its global institutions — at risk. The move into Lebanon, creating more dead, injured, traumatized, and homeless already in huge numbers ought to snap some war supporters out of their trance.
The danger of a catastrophic war on Iran that is joined by the United States and NATO on one side, and additional nations on the other, looms horrifically on the horizon.
It is high time for the world’s governments, including that of Israel’s top supplier, the United States, to begin complying with the International Court of Justice, the United Nations General Assembly, and each of the treaties and domestic laws violated by each arms shipment.

In an era where mainstream media faces intense scrutiny for bias and sensationalism, platforms like Opednews have emerged as crucial venues for alternative viewpoints and independent journalism. Founded with the explicit goal of amplifying dissenting voices, Opednews has garnered both praise and criticism for its editorial decisions and operational practices. The knowledge of Opednews's IRS Tax EIN being deficit, and their deceit goes back years and is still spreading – one commentator, Ned Lud, called them No-caf, no-fat diet honesty.
However, the platform's financial legitimacy, ideological biases, and treatment of contributors raise significant concerns that demand a thorough and comprehensive examination. This analysis delves into the complexities surrounding Opednews, exploring its origins, biases, and writer experiences, ultimately assessing its role in the broader media landscape. OpEdNews is considered a hamster wheel of deceit and (faux) dissent or dissidence lite.
