Vladimir Zhirinovsky and the Art of Political Predictions
Strategic Culture Foundation (RSS)

Zhirinovsky’s last prophesy has probably perked up some ears in the Washington Beltway, Robert Bridge writes.

Most people know the colorful leader of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR) as something of a court jester who for year has got away with saying the things nobody else would dare. At the same time, however, he has a lesser known track record for predicting events, and his latest one should give the United States tremendous pause.

Born in Almaty, then the capital of the Soviet Socialist Republic of Kazakhstan, on April 25, 1946, Zhirinovsky moved to Moscow in 1964 where he went...

Daily Lies of Our Times
Strategic Culture Foundation (RSS)

By Stephen LENDMAN

Employment at the self-styled newspaper of record NYT requires a commitment to support imperial rampaging and corporate plunder.

It requires abandonment of support for peace, equity, justice and the rule of law.

It requires a willingness to demonize and otherwise misreport on US invented enemies.

It requires a commitment to fake news over truth and full disclosure, especially on major domestic and geopolitical issues.

The Times is to journalism as night is to day, as wrong is to right, as fakery is to truth-telling.
