{The New York Times}, the self-proclaimed newspaper of record of the Anglo-American establishment has on its masthead, the pompous statement: All the news that's fit to print. It should read: All the news that fits what we want you to know, we print.
In this fast-changing world, it is not just what you know that can do you great harm if it is false, but also what you don't know, or more precisely, what the ruling establishment does not want you to know or even consider. What we publish here is precisely that—what the Anglo-American establishment does not what you to consider, because it runs contrary to their scripts for reality. Such "news" might cause you to think for yourself, and that is dangerous to an establishment that clings to power on the basis of its ability to manipulate people's perceptions.
So what we present here you are not likely to see anywhere else, at least not all in one place. It is not the news that is "fit" (what does that even mean, and who determines it?), or what fits into Pidgeon-holed views of reality. For these troubled times, it is we believe, what you need to know, but which no one wants you to know. Then, we let you draw your own conclusions and make your own informed choices about what you think. We don't tell you what or how to think but merely urge you to think, for yourself. So, check it out. It is often raw and unfiltered, but it is, we believe: The World, As It Really Is...
Feel free to send us your comments, suggestions of what you want to find out that we have not covered. Stay engaged.
Sept. 11—Some in the Atlanticist centers of power appear to be worried that the Schiller Institute’s campaign for a new international security and development architecture is becoming a powerful threat to their dying unipolar order.
The Paris-based intelligence leak sheet, Intelligence Online, published a piece on the front page of its website Sept. 9, blaring: “Washington-Based Non-Profit Continues Spreading Kremlin Message.” A kicker identified the target of its slander: “The Schiller Institute has continued to cooperate with Russian media outlets, even while the U.S. cracks down on foreign influence.[…]” The attack was not unexpected, as journalists associated with the outfit had been sniffing around the Schiller Institute since the beginning of the month.
The article itself is behind a (very expensive) paywall, but its intent is clear. Coming just six days after the U.S. Department of Justice announced a new series of drastic actions to shut down agencies and individuals accused of running Russian “Foreign Malign Influence Operations” into the U.S. elections, the Intelligence Online product is a direct call for FBI and other action to silence Schiller Institute operations in the United States. The article makes sure to reference the FBI’s raid on former UN weapons inspector and Marine intelligence officer Scott Ritter’s home as part of its argument. Ritter is frequent speaker and participant Schiller events, and vcoal critic NAT's war against Russia in the Ukraine.
As for Intelligence Online, only a silly fool would look at its profile and believe that it is the “100% independent” intelligence news agency it claims to be. Its track record for 40 years has been as an outlet for French and Anglo-American intelligence agencies, publishing purported “scoops” from the underworld of the intelligence services, which target those whom the “powers that be” such as NATO choose to hit at that time. In fact, as far back as 2002, an Intelligence Online journalist co-authored a book with a scurrilous attack on Lyndon LaRouche and his French associate and former French Presidential candidate, Jacques Cheminade.
Sept. 10, 2024 (EIRNS)—The Sept. 10 Sputnik, in an article, “Ex-U.S. Ambassador to U.S.S.R.: ‘Dangerous’ for U.S. To Attempt Undeclared War with Russia” reports on former Ambassador to the Soviet Union Jack Matlock’s Sept. 3 interview with the Schiller Institute.
Sputnik quotes Matlock: “It seems to me that it is extremely dangerous to attempt what is, in effect, an undeclared war against a nuclear armed power, which perceives, rightly or wrongly, that its sovereignty and even its political existence are being threatened.” Such a situation, Matlock said, could result in a nuclear exchange between the United States and Russia, because of mistakes.
U.S. efforts to conduct diplomacy with Russia have disappeared, and turned into feeding the conflict in Ukraine, Matlock said. Ukraine is on a “suicide course” by continuing hostilities with Russia. Matlock added, Sputnik reports, that the United States has “grossly overcommitted” internationally by fueling de facto economic and military war against Russia, supporting Israel’s actions in the Middle East and preparing the U.S. military for a war with China. The situation is sustainable neither economically, nor militarily.
Sputnik reports Matlock as saying that, after the fall of the Soviet Union, the U.S. had proposed a Partnership for Peace with the countries in Eastern Europe, including Russia and the successor states of the Soviet Union, only then to abandon that strategy for an expansion of NATO. The publication focuses on Matlock’s comments about sanctions against Russia, “I would say the economic sanctions against Russia are failing to do what they were intended to do. They were aimed to destroy the Russian economy, but they have not.” Instead, Matlock asserted, the sanctions have only served to make the Russian economy more autonomous and to assist in building its relationships with China and Iran.
Sept. 10—NATO, using its lunatic Nazi assets in Ukraine’s government, hurled more than 140 drones at Russia today, targeting multiple regions, including Moscow, in a desperate effort to alter public perception of a war that NATO has lost on the battlefield. Russian civilian and military authorities report that while the majority of these long-range, low flying drones were destroyed, some managed to make it through, including reaching the Moscow Region, causing damage to several high-rise apartment buildings. There are reports of fires from explosions in the Moscow region and other regions, and at this time government authorities report only one dead and four inured.
With Ukraine suffering more than 700,000 since the beginning of Russia’s Special Military Operation Feb. 24, 2022, and its front lines crumbling in the Donbass regions along its eastern border; and its terrorist assault on civilians in the Kursk Region, covered by its military, being crushed, with a loss of over 50% in personnel and equipment, sources report that pressure is growing in the leadership of the Ukraine Armed Forces (UAF) to call for a ceasefire and for direct negotiations toward a peace deal with the Russians. These sources say that there have been contacts as recently as last week between Ukrainian military leaders and their Russian counterparts, and an end to the continuing senseless slaughter of Ukrainian soldiers could come as soon as the end of September. Volodymyr Zelenskyy, NATO’s sock-puppet dictator of Ukraine, has reportedly thrown rug-chewing fits over what is happening but appears powerless to arrest the process.
Last week Zelenskyy reshuffled his cabinet after having done this in the Spring. Sources report that the key victim of the purge was the Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba who is said to favor ending the war in Ukraine, and who had conveyed to some foreign diplomats and others that Ukraine should be willing to start negotiations directly with the Russians around the June 14 proposal offered by Russian President Vladimir Putin. Putin’s proposal would trade land for peace—with Russia holding the four eastern oblasts (Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhya) with majority Russian speaking populations, who by plebiscite, along with the Crimeans, elected to join the Russian Federation. Other areas which have been taken by the Russian Armed Forces in their “Special Military Operation,” which began Feb. 23, 2022, would be returned to Ukraine and Russia would guarantee Ukraine’s sovereignty, with Ukraine retaining its own military but would remain “neutral” and would not be allowed to join NATO. Putin, sources report, was agreeable to adjustments in the borders of the new Russian states but was adamant about a demand that all Nazi formations and militias be disbanded, and its leaders made available for possible trials for war crimes (These sources say that the Russians might be amenable to the creation of some Reconciliation Commission that would hear evidence of war crimes committed by both sides.) This demand presents problems for Zelenskyy, whose last remaining backers are these Nazis, who he has funneled money to from the large cash payments that have flowed in from the U.S. and NATO to sustain his corrupt rule.
As he met with students Sept. 3 at School No. 20 in Kyzyl, the capital of Russia’s Siberian region of Tuva, Putin delivered a signal about the impending end to the war. He forecast that the Ukrainian provocation (in Kursk) was doomed to fail, and after it, Russia’s opponents “will have a desire to really—not in words, but in deeds—move to peaceful negotiations and settle these issues peacefully.” Up until this time, the official Russian policy on negotiations, is that they had no reason to negotiate and no one to negotiate with. “This was a signal that both those conditions were about to change,” said a source. “Putin knows that not-so-secret preparatory discussions were underway between the two militaries, and that there were back-channel discussions with the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry.
“We have never given up on this,” Putin said, “I have always said that we want to solve all controversial issues by peaceful means.”
These remarks, sources report, sent NATO and their puppet Zelenskyy into frantic action. Seeing his days numbered, the Ukrainian dictator fired Kubela, and made even more shrill, loud, and often hysterical demands for NATO allies and especially the Biden administration to allow him to use NATO-provided weapons to strike deeply into Russia. On the surface, the U.S. and other allies dismissed his request for new authorizations. “But that was all a lie,” said an analyst with knowledge of what was taking place. “They simply told Zelenskyy that they would help use what he already had and was authorized to use to make deep strikes into Russia. The U.S. Defense Department people were not going to allow him to use advanced missile systems, as that would be too risky a provocation to the Russians. They are taking very seriously Putin’s warnings about a non-linear, asymmetrical response to attacks on the Russian homeland.
There is almost no one left that believes that Ukraine can win this war [on the battlefield], no matter what NATO does. But they don’t want Russia to claim victory and dictate the terms of peace, either. So, they are prepared to help the Ukrainians run terror strikes against Russian civilians, to demonstrate that the government in Moscow can’t protect them. The entire Kursk operation, which ultimately weakened the UAF front lines in the east, was in fact nothing but a terror operation. The UAF’s insane, but still limited efforts to blow up the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant, is of a similar character; if they really wanted to do this—which would provoke a hellacious response from the Russians—they could do it. These attacks merely show the risk and [and are meant to] terrify people.
This source reported that today’s large drone attack was worked out and approved at last weekend’s Ukraine Contact Group meeting at NATO’s Ramstein Air Base in Germany. “They gave the approval and worked out targets, behind the scenes,” said the source, “while Zelenskyy provided the theater, screeching like a clownish Winston Churchill, about “giving him the tools,” so Ukraine can “finish the job,” while his NATO elders told him to calm down.
The attack is pure terrorism, but also demonstrates, as have previous drone attacks, including the one featuring a drone being shot down in view of Putin’s office in the Kremlin, that Russia has some big holes in its air defense system. These drones were not targeted so as to hit military base targets; instead, they were aimed to hit more vulnerable civilian targets, with great embarrassment to the Russians. If they had tried to hit a military base, they probably would have all gotten shot down, because those bases and Moscow itself, have multi-layer defenses, including anti-ballistic missile systems.
“These NATO jerks now can say to themselves that they again got some less-sophisticated drones through the Russian air defense system,” said a source. “What if these drones were nuclear tipped? Putin can’t be very happy about this. But none of this will topple Putin, despite the silly ravings about a simmering opposition building against his conduct of the war, which they say is costing too much. They keep thinking that Putin is as stupid as they are; they want him to escalate, so they can, and keep this war going. But he always fools the fools; he sits in the driver’s seat, and does whatever he does. He is going to stay there, forcing NATO to end this war, more or less on his terms.”
After the drone attacks, and before tonight's Presidential debate, Putin withdrew his offer of a ceasefire and negotiations for a peace deal, stating Russia is the victim of attacks by the terrorist Kyiv regime, which also continues to threaten the Kursk Nuclear power Plant. Russia will not negotiate with terrorists, he said. But intelligence sources say they believe the earlier offer is still on the table, since Putin attributes the attacks to NATO and their puppet, Zelenskyy. "There are likely to be other negotiating partners available," said a source.
The source said that the Biden White House was fully engaged in this strike, and that NATO whore Vice President Kamila Harris was in full approval. "Harris needs something like the drone attack to give some credence for her inane claims the Ukraine can still win, and therefore we must continue our support. The issue of the Ukraine war came up in the debate, with Harris charging that Trump prefers dictators like his "friend" Putin to supporting the Ukraine. Trump, held his ground and question why the U.S. has spent so much more on the war than our NATO allies, which it directly effects. He said that war could have been prevented, but that the weak and inept White House, of which Harris was a part, did not properly handle the Ukraine/Russian dispute, and now has no plans but the keep a war going that he claimed has cost more than a million lives> He repeated the only solution now is to end the war, which he would end "before I even take office." Despite repeated requests by the ABC moderator David Muir to elaborate on his plan, he would not do so; an interview last week, Trump explained his reluctance make details of his peace plan public, stating to do so would make his task much harder.
This and other sources report on a recent secret CIA assessment that says that there is no possibility of a [Western military] victory in Ukraine, and now, no longer even a possibility of a stalemate. The report concludes that the U.S. needs to figure out an end-game policy that would reach a brokered, negotiated settlement. “There are still fools who reject this,” said the source, “But they do so at their own peril, perhaps the world’s peril, if their escalations and provocations go too far.”
Sept. 10—On the sidelines of the Sept. 3-6 Eastern Economic Forum (EEF) in Vladivostok, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim emphasized the importance of BRICS and its chairman ,Russia, this year in an interview with RT and RIA Novosti. According to coverage Sept. 5 in Sputnik, Anwar said: “Well, we are very appreciative of the fact that [Russian] President Putin officially invited me to attend the BRICS meeting in Kazan next month. Our policy is of course to strengthen the Global South. BRICS is a very important vehicle to strengthen that sort of collaboration among countries in the Global South. Not necessarily in antagonism, but at least to contain the onslaught of other richer industrialized countries and to be able to at least withstand the pressure and together build up the force.” Russia holds the chairmanship of BRICS in 2024.
Prime Minister Anwar spoke about using local currencies in international trade as an important tool to increase his country’s independence from the dollar. “We are still quite dependent on the dollar, but at least to reduce the impact, we need to do that. And BRICS is of course another vehicle to do that,” Anwar said. “We also have to then organize ourselves to be stronger, to be able to contain the pressures not within our control. So that is, to me, the wisdom."
Anwar stressed that Malaysia was going to work and trade with Russia, reminding people that Malaysia never joined the Western sanctions against Russia. “Russians should not in any way feel that we are influenced by others’ opinion…. There is … this special relationship that Malaysia wants to offer to Russia,” Anwar said. At the same time, Malaysia will maintain its independence, and will work with all countries equally. “This issue of centrality and engaging with the United States, which is still a major player in terms of investments and trade with Malaysia, with Europe, particularly Germany, and more so now with China, India, and Russia, it will benefit us."
On the conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza, Prime Minister Anwar was critical of the response by leading Western powers: “No, we are for peaceful resolution, whether you regard Ukraine or most of Gaza, now with these atrocities inflicted on the Palestinian people in Gaza and the inability, the complete abandonment of principles from the Western powers, that’s to me shocking,” the Prime Minister said.
Sept. 10—The ninth annual Eastern Economic Forum, held over Sept. 3-6 in Vladivostok, featured over 7,000 guests from 75 countries, primarily high-level officials and business people. Russian President Vladimir Putin keynoted the plenary session on Sept. 5.
A total of 258 agreements were signed, amounting to 5.4 trillion rubles ($59.7 billion), and with a special emphasis on building a large new chemical complex in Komi Republic and a new timber processing complex in Sakhalin, Sputnik reported.
The Komi Republic, an autonomous republic within the Russian Federation, is located in the far northeastern portion of European Russia, directly south of Severny Island (which divides the Barent Sea on the west from the Kara Sea on the east). It is rich in mineral resources, oil, natural gas, bauxite, gold and diamonds; wood and wood products are major industries.
Sakhalin Island is off the Pacific coast of Russia, and is also rich in oil and gas reserves, coal, timber, gold and ferrous metals.
Sputnik also reported on the impressions of President Putin’s speech by Indonesian military and security expert Dr. Connie Rahakundini Bakrie, who commented: “President Putin emphasized global cooperation, [that] Russia is ready to cooperate to establish a multipolar world order which reflects justice for a majority of countries.” Bakrie further said, “the most important thing for the Asia-Pacific is technology and science, because we are a little bit weak on that position. In President Putin’s speech yesterday, he really underlined that Russia will play a very big part in building science and technology together [with Asian countries], especially in the nuclear aspect of energy security.”
Sputnik concluded with Chinese Vice President Han Zheng’s comments at the event, “We are ready, together with the Russian side and guided by key agreements reached at the highest level, to accelerate interconnectedness, both in cross-border infrastructure and the harmonization of rules and standards, to increase the scale and quality of cooperation, to strengthen the foundation for the long-term sustainable development of Sino-Russian relations in the new era, to contribute to ensuring prosperity and stability in the region and around the world.”
Sept. 10—The U.S. is not only ratcheting up tensions against Russia, but increasingly now with China as well.. A Sept. 5 article in Nikkei Asia has revealed that the U.S. has deployed medium-range missiles to the Philippines as part of an extended stay following a military drill earlier this year and is now planning on deploying them to Japan for six months or more as well. According to Nikkei, the Philippines deployment “is the first time elements of the ‘multi-domain task force,’ the U.S. Army’s new unit that operates long-range precision weapons, has been deployed to the Indo-Pacific.”
The system deployed is the Typhon missile launcher, and can fire Tomahawk cruise missiles (1,600+ km range), and the Standard Missile-6 multipurpose interceptor (370 km range). The Tomahawks are in the medium-range category—previously banned by the INF Treaty until the U.S. withdrew in 2019. In early April, the launcher was deployed to Luzon, Philippines to take part in Exercise Salaknib 24, and it was agreed they would remain in the Philippines for as long as six months.
Now, according to Nikkei, the U.S. has asked Japan to allow the stationing of these for a short time—as long as six months.. Even more startling, the U.S. has proposed that they be placed in Japan’s Southwest Islands, which are only a couple hundred miles away from Taiwan and would put much of China’s eastern seaboard within their range. Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth said at a Defense News Conference Virginia Sept. 4 that the U.S. is “very interested” in deploying the Typhon system to Japan, and that “We’ve made our interest in this clear with the Japanese.” “Our goal … in the Army has been to really try to have as much combat-credible capability forward” in the Indo-Pacific, for “six months a year or more. Demonstrating those kinds of combat capabilities strengthens deterrence in the region. I do think it’s gotten the attention of China. … It’s an impressive capability."
According to an Aug. 3 article in Nikkei Asia, the decision to station the hardware in the Philippines “has caused unease in Beijing.” An anonymous Chinese defense official, referencing the U.S. narrative that it seeks to stabilize its relations with China, said: “It’s like bringing a dagger to a lunch in which you are supposed to talk about improving relations.”
Liu Pengyu, the Chinese Embassy in Washington, told Nikkei: “China strongly opposes the U.S. deploying medium-range ballistic missiles in the Asia-Pacific to seek unilateral military advantage” and urged the Philippines to “quickly pull out the missile system as publicly pledged.” By letting the U.S. deploy the missile system on Philippine soil, “the Philippines is enabling a country outside the region to fuel tensions and antagonism in this region, and incite geopolitical confrontation and arms race."
