- The War in Ukraine: Understanding and Resisting the Global Elite’s Deeper Agenda by Robert J. Burrowes from Global Research. (Note: See this post that explains what "1500CE" means.) My reaction: I can only agree with his conclusion:
The war in Ukraine is a tragedy for those immediately impacted but for all of us as well. Particularly if we do not recognise the threat it conceals and act powerfully in response to this deeper threat.
For 5,000 years elites have been pitting us against each other – at work, on the battlefield, in life generally – by drawing attention to, and magnifying, superficial differences (based on gender, race, religion, class, nationality….), exacerbating conflicts and convincing us that they are acting in our own best interests when we do what they tell us via their agents in government, the corporate media and elsewhere, and that human solidarity is worth nothing.
Well, one day very soon now, we would do well to realize that in the end only three things matter: Human solidarity is essential if we are to survive this existential crisis, our true enemy is not each other but the insane Global Elite, and we must act powerfully and nonviolently if we are to defeat it.
A human future worth living will be short otherwise.

- More sanctions against Russia would further harm Europe, ‘keep crisis from ending’ by By Yang Sheng and Chi Jingyi from the Global Times, a Chinese major publication reputedly the voice of the Chinese Communist Party. My reaction: Ordinary Europeans will wake up sooner or later to the fact that their well-being is dependent on trade with Russia. That will spell the end (def.) of a unilateral world dominated by the de-facto US/British/Zionist Empire.

- The Kremlin Never Learns by Paul Craig Roberts from his weblog. My reaction: The invasion of Ukraine by Russian forces did not "win" the propaganda war as seen by Roberts. However, the propaganda war did not influence Pres. Putin's decision to invade Ukraine. It was to de-Nazify Ukraine and to eliminate a threat to Russia if NATO established bases in their nation. The propaganda war will take care of itself in the next few years as populations (especially Europeans) wake up to the real facts.

- Solomon Islands and China's Security Pact: Why is the West Complaining? features a video by Brian Berletic, an independent blogger and ex-Marine who currently resides in Thailand with his family, describing recent events with China in the Solomon Islands--from his channel (The New Atlas) on Rumble (19:37).
The Solomon Islands is in the process of working out a security pact with China which would allow Chinese police and soldiers to help maintain order in the country upon request. The West has decried this deal as a sign of growing Chinese influence, but fail to point out the context within which this pact is necessary for both the Solomon Islands and China.
It has been the US, Australia, and Taiwan who have undermined the peace, stability, and security of the Solomon Islands for years, forcing Honiara to find a more reliable security partner. China is already a reliable and important economic partner, thus Honiara believes China will make a suitable security partner.

- Yemen: Cheap Demagoguery and Huge Profits for London by Viktor Mikhin from New Eastern Outlook. My reaction: Read this post to see how the author reaches this comparison with Yemen and Ukraine:
It is quite understandable that the West has always preferred to fight only with foreign hands, and it is now supplying Ukrainian neo-Nazis with huge quantities of high-tech weapons, as UK and US planes deliver weapons to Kiev in a race against time. Weapons, including US-made Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, are arriving in Ukraine, yet Western governments claim at every corner that the West is supposedly not directly engaged in conflict with Russia. Why? This time they have found cheap cannon fodder on Ukrainian territory, who will now die by the thousands and then by the tens of thousands and millions in the name of the West who commands them.
The same is happening in far away Yemen, where Western rulers have waged a fratricidal war with the hands of the Saudis in the name of their mercenary financial interests.

- What You Need To Know About The Great Reset features Joe Martino from The Pulse (based in Canada). My reaction: It seems so obvious that the solutions put forth by the rich and powerful only serve themselves as a tiny socioeconomic class. In other words, the Great Reset is wrapped up in clumsy propaganda designed to serve the tiny classes of the capitalist rich and powerful in order fool, once again, ordinary people in the working classes of the world. The core belief associated with the Great Reset, "You will own nothing and be happy", is a recipe for the rich and powerful to own everything and be gloriously happy because they will have us "by the short hairs" (def.).
