The Corporatist, Statist distortions of economy and democracy I identified in this paper are as relevant today as they were in 1984. Monetarism has now fallen out of fashion and the exact opposite (“quantitative easing”) is deemed both wise and without consequences. But there are serious consequences; inflation, capital erosion, business failures, a sclerotic economy and another era of misallocated investment, unjustified rewards and a massive democratic deficit. The monopoly coal and steel industries have been replaced by exploitative utilities, health, rail and postal “services” while the p ..read more

It is too early to judge the obscene Crocus City massacre as evidence has still to be collected from the captured perpetrators, their enablers and captured phones but it does not look like a typical Islamic State operation. Freenations will cover it soon. In the Russian elections Vladimir Putin got 87% of the vote on a 77.44% turnout (UK general elections since 2001 have averaged 64%).  The main opposition in Russia to Putin are the communists, who got 4.31% of the vote – about the same level achieved in opinion polls by the late western sponsored Navalny. Although electorally weak the C ..read more

Rodney Atkinson and Dmitry Babich While the US publication Foreign Policy accepts Putin’s case on non NATO Ukraine and concedes that Russia cares more for Ukraine than the West there is great dissension within the western alliance. Jens Stoltenberg speaking at Sweden’s NATO membership ceremony continues the war rhetoric: Surrender is not a peaceful solution. We need to keep making Ukraine strong. We need to show Putin that he won’t get what he wants on the battlefield.  But a French military report leaked to the French media claims the opposite: “ the most serious error of analysis and j ..read more

The TUCKER CARLSON interview with MIKE BENZ (here summarised with commentary) is probably the greatest expose of the activities of that globalist corporatism which is destroying democratic nations, provoking war abroad and a totalitarian war against their own people at home – hand in glove with the modern high tech industries and the old “legacy” media. The link to the full interview is at the bottom of this article. Mike Benz had the cyber portfolio at the US State Department. He’s now executive director of the Foundation for Freedom Online. Benz points out that three developments were criti ..read more

One of the many overt attacks on Russia and eastern Europe by the forces of NATO and the EU has been the plethora of plans to break up Russia by instigating regional and ethnic rebellion. (see recent post on UK war with Russia) But it is now the USA which is confronted by a constitutional crisis and States’ secession. To the US led conflicts in Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, Yemen and Iran can be added a civil war in America. Like the other conflicts each side sees it as an existential war (41% of Democrats and 38% of Republicans see violence justified in frustrating the aims of the other party – a ..read more

The conflict between the Commander of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Zaluzhny and President Zelensky is coming to a head with the latter showing extreme weakness after weeks of claims that Zaluzhny had been sacked but with Zaluzhny still in place. Zaluzhny has the support of political figures like the former president Poroshenko and the Kiev mayor Klitschko, the army itself and in particular Zelensky’s potentially most dangerous enemies, the openly Nazi militants like Azov, Right Sector, AIDAR etc. Zaluzhny’s Nazi sympathies are displayed here: http://freenations.net/nato-tanks-for-ukrainian-naz ..read more

In a letter to my MP (in answer to my question) the UK Department of Defence could not confirm that the UK was at war with Russia. But in international law war is recognised as existing between two countries if there is a condition marked by armed conflict between or among states, whether or not war has been declared formally by any of the belligerents.  This is unquestionably the case between the UK and Russia with the British public slowly recognising the fact, having been jolted by the recent words of General Sir Patrick Sanders who said the UK should be prepared to “mobilise the nati ..read more

The Ukraine war, or rather the use of Ukraine as a proxy in the NATO/EU 20 year aggression against Russia and Eastern Europe, has been critical as a catalyst for the military, geopolitical, financial and trading losses for the West in general but it is perhaps slightly more controllable than war in the Middle East where Israel is a kind of US proxy and Iran, Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthi in Yemen, Hamas in Gaza and potentially Islamic radical Turkey (already threatening Israel) form a potent mix and the threat of a war in which Russia and China could be drawn in.  Western oil and othe ..read more

In Ukraine Russia is advancing on nearly all fronts, the West’s armament deliveries have fallen 87% in 2023 compared to 2022, with a fall in the supply of artillery shells of 30% as the USA diverted supplies to Israel. In Congress Biden’s Democrat party cannot get a $61bn package for Ukraine passed since the Republicans demand, as part of the total, sums for the existential crisis on the USA’s southern border (where some 2m migrants are crossing yearly) and because Biden cannot say what the war aim in Ukraine is. The Ukrainian losses now amount to about 400,000 troops killed or missing while ..read more

Weapons found in the possession of Hamas have been shown to be from NATO stocks – sold by Ukrainians to Gaza. In one post Hamas publicly thanked Zelensky for them**! Now we find that Hitler’s Mein Kampf is also common to both Ukrainians and Hamas soldiers while adverts have appeared in Ukraine advertising Jewish addresses for sale! We have already shown the addiction of Ukrainian troops to Nazism – to the extent that some, in addition to open displays of the swastika, took copies of Hitler’s Mein Kampf with them to war: https://freenations.net/nato-tanks-for-ukrainian-nazism/ Now the Israeli ..read more
