The US propaganda machine has just confirmed what establishment's worst nightmare would be: a great coalition of Bernie Sanders with the Greens


Another story of alleged 'Russian interference' in the 2016 US presidential election came on surface after Robert Mueller charged 13 Russian nationals and three Russian entities that assisted Kremlin's efforts to interfere in the election through an information warfare.

The report reveals the names of the alleged conspirators, but still, we should be very skeptical with any 'proof' about any case, coming from US agencies, as their capability to construct false evidence to promote certain agendas is recorded and well-known for decades.

But even if we accept these findings, the report actually clarifies three basic facts:

1st, that Russia did not actually 'hacked' the election, that is, did not altered the result through any kind of direct voting fraud, as previous 'Russiagate' stories were indirectly implied. These individuals were trying to reinforce support for certain candidates though information campaigns in social media and elsewhere. Well, the United States are doing much worse things in foreign countries when they want regime change. It's good that this has been clarified.

2nd, the report states that these campaigns were in favor of Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders and Jill Stein, but there is absolutely no evidence that these individuals were connected with those candidates in any way.


3rd, after the election, the individuals were organizing both pro-Trump and anti-Trump events! For example, as described in a paragraph, “After the election of Donald Trump in or around November 2016, Defendants and their co-conspirators used false U.S. personas to organize and coordinate U.S. political rallies in support of then president-elect Trump, while simultaneously using other false U.S. personas to organize and coordinate U.S. political rallies protesting the results of the 2016 U.S. presidential election. For example, in or around November 2016, Defendants and their co-conspirators organized a rally in New York through one ORGANIZATION-controlled group designed to “show your support for President-Elect Donald Trump” held on or about November 12, 2016. At the same time, Defendants and their co-conspirators, through another ORGANIZATION-controlled group, organized a rally in New York called “Trump is NOT my President” held on or about November 12, 2016. Similarly, Defendants and their co-conspirators organized a rally entitled “Charlotte Against Trump” in Charlotte, North Carolina, held on or about November 19, 2016.

The above practice resembles Vladislav Surkov's method of 'non-linear' war that was expanded in the political and economical field and was tested inside Russia, but adopted also by Western politicians to manipulate the masses in their countries, as you can see in the following short video by Adam Curtis:


In essence, the concept of non-linear war has been adopted long before Surkov by the US war machine after WWII. The ultimate goal was not to win any war, but to fulfill specific targets. Similar methods of public control and manipulation were adopted by the metropolitan centers of modern propaganda and neoliberalism: the United States and the United Kingdom.

Yet, the most interesting outcome of the story is the reaction by many of the big media, part of the US propaganda machine. They rushed to create big headlines putting – in many cases - Trump, Sanders and Stein together, giving the impression (again) that they directly colluded with Russia.

This is a classic tactic that have been analyzed in the blog, on the occasion of 2016 US elections. The establishment attempts to smear real progressives by equalizing them with Trump through false accusations, while at the same time completely erases their huge ideological and political differences. The ultimate goal: to lead voters back to the neoliberal political center, expressed by mainstream politicians like Hillary Clinton, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, who have been portrayed as the key 'victims' of this case.

Of course, beyond the impressive headlines, the big media didn't bother to mention that Bernie Sanders endorsed Hillary Clinton, even after the dirty war against him by the DNC, and that he fully and openly aligned with the 'Russiagate' establishment narratives, through various statements.

Yet, we should thank the US propaganda machine because through its anxiety to grab another chance to smear both Bernie Sanders and Jill Stein, confirmed what establishment's worst nightmare would be: a great coalition of Bernie with the Greens.

Israel’s Descent Into Madness & the Holocaust Comparison

BreakThrough News   Rania Khalek was joined by Tarik Cyril Amar, a historian from Germany and associate professor at Koc University in Istanbul, to discuss Israel’s descent into genocidal fascism. Prof. Amar addresses whether it’s useful to make Holocaust and Nazi comparisons and the real reason behind the West’s unshakeable loyalty attitude when it comes to Israel’s barbarism.   

Zionist and US imperialist criminals are about to grab the natural gas off shore Gaza

globinfo freexchange   As the genocide against Palestinians of Gaza is about to be completed with an act of unprecedented brutality by the Zionists and butcher Netanyahu through the bombardment of about 1.4 million civilians in Rafah, it seems that they have already set their next primary goal. Which, in short, is to grab the natural gas resources off shore Gaza, together with their US imperialist buddies whose contribution to the genocide has been undoubtedly critical.     As already reported , in 2007, Hamas came to power and Israel launched an offensive on Gaza Strip, leaving behind 1,400 dead Palestinians, but taking with it the gas fields. Within a year, Israel announced the discovery of the Leviathan natural gas field, which did include Gaza's riches, valued at 453 billion dollars. But Gazans have been denied around 47 billion dollars in revenue. As for Tel Aviv, it's gunning to become a new hub. At that moment in time, that is 2022, Russian oil and gas were sanctioned.

Σταματάει έτσι και η όποια σε βάθος διερεύνηση για την τσιμεντοποίηση του χώρου και την απόπειρα συγκάλυψης της τραγωδίας.

Αυτό όμως που φαίνεται να αιφνιδίασε ακόμα και το συστημικό κατεστημένο, είναι η είσοδος των δύο υπερσυντηρητικών, ακροδεξιών κομμάτων Νίκη και Σπαρτιάτες, με το τελευταίο να έχει ξεκάθαρες διασυνδέσεις με τον πρώην Χρυσαυγίτη, Ηλία Κασιδιάρη. Παρά τη μεγάλη νίκη Μητσοτάκη, οι μιντιακοί ινστρούχτορες της καθεστωτικής προπαγάνδας εμφανίστηκαν σε γενικές γραμμές "μουδιασμένοι" και αυτό οφείλεται στο γεγονός ότι το συστημικό κατεστημένο (δηλαδή τα μεγάλα οικονομικά συμφέροντα που ελέγχουν και το σύνολο των μεγάλων ΜΜΕ πανελλαδικής εμβέλειας), πέτυχε μόνο έναν από τους τέσσερις μεγάλους στόχους που είχε θέσει εξ'αρχής.

The Shadowy, Intelligence-Linked Group Driving the US Towards War With Iran

"United Against Nuclear Iran does not miss an opportunity to try to bring the United States closer to a military conflict with Iran. And on the other side of the equation, they also have worked very hard to oppose efforts to de-escalate the U.S.-Iran relationship."   by Alan Macleod   Part 7 - A Lesson From History   The history of Iran has been intimately intertwined with the United States since at least 1953 when Washington orchestrated a successful coup against Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh. Mosaddegh had refused U.S. demands to stamp out Communist influences in his country and had nationalized the nation’s oil. The U.S. installed Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi as a puppet ruler. An unpopular and authoritarian ruler, the Shah was overthrown in the Revolution of 1979. Since then, it has become a target for regime change, and its nuclear program is something of an obsession in the West. Often orchestrated by UANI officials while they were in government, the U.S. has carried
