💸 The Growth of U.S. Public Debt: From George W. Bush to Joe Biden

The total debt of the U.S. government has increased from $5.7 trillion to $33.1 trillion over the past 22 years and keeps growing. The U.S. Treasury explains: “Simply put, the national debt is similar to a person using a credit card for purchases and not paying off the full balance each month. The cost of purchases exceeding the amount paid off represents a deficit, while accumulated deficits over time represents a person’s overall debt.”

It fails to add that an average person is not allowed to print their own money… 💸

🛑 The horrific missile strike on a Ukrainian village in which 52 people, including a young boy, were killed in a cafe was widely reported by Western media with strident condemnations of a Russian “war crime”.

All the American and European media reports relied solely on Ukrainian security sources for their immediate attribution of the massacre to Russian forces. It was claimed that a Russian Iskander missile hit the village of Hroza (Groza).

Russia did not make any comment on the specific accusations, simply repeating that its military does not deliberately target civilian centers.

The false-flag provocation carried out by the Kiev regime has precedent, albeit not reported by the Western media

EUROPEAN "VALUES"! Punish all Palestinians. Men, women, children. Even those who haven't been born yet. ▪️ The EU could have joined the long list of international organizations and countries that are calling for an immediate ceasefire and the respect of UN resolutions. Instead it chose collective punishment. Again. @LauraRuHK
⚠️ Embora com atraso, ainda é tempo de os europeus pensarem seriamente numa nova arquitetura de segurança na Europa, que integre e concilie os legítimos interesses securitários de todos os atores.

🦅 U.S. President Joe Biden was last week making desperate appeals for more funds to fuel the futile, heinous war in Ukraine. By contrast, Russia’s President Vladimir Putin delivered a keynote speech calling for a world based on equality and peace.

Comparing the substance of the two is instructive. Biden rambles with scripted scraps of ideological stereotypes and belligerence that increasingly sound ho-hum nonsense. By contrast, Putin gave an intellectually passionate and eloquent survey of world history to an audience of international scholars and serious thinkers. Putin summed up his speech with a sincere appeal for peace and goodwill to all humanity.

One cannot contemplate Biden or any other Western so-called leader having the intellectual capability or moral fibre to articulate a comparable speech promoting world peace and progress.

🗽 On both sides of the Atlantic, there is now discernible fatigue and anger among citizens over the bottomless money pit that is NATO’s proxy war in Ukraine against Russia.

The only wonder is that it has taken so long for the Western public to get wise to the scam.
The disgraceful adulation of a Nazi war criminal by the whole Canadian parliament in a perverse show of solidarity with Ukraine against Russia has helped focus public attention on the obscenity of the NATO proxy war.

All told, since the NATO-induced conflict blew up in February last year, the American and European establishments have thrown up to €200 billion into Ukraine to prop up an odious Nazi-infested regime.

All that largesse that is billed to U.S. and European taxpayers has resulted in a slaughter in Europe not seen since the Second World War – and a failed Ukrainian state. And of course huge profits for the NATO military-industrial complex that bankrolls the elite politicians.

Times are changing though 🚧

🇺🇸 Though the bookies now have Donald Trump a clear favourite to win next year’s U.S. Presidential election race against incumbent Creepy Joe Biden, Camelot’s Robert Kennedy Jnr is the dark horse to watch in what is currently a two-horse race between Biden on the Beltway’s inside track and Trump, who is the most boisterous of fillies.

🇵🇸 The attacks and subsequent war are nearly all from the West’s goading of Israelis to do whatever they want to Palestinians to get what they need. And now watch how western media portray Israel as a victim needing to “defend” itself.

It was simply inevitable. How much longer did Israel and the West in general think they had in Palestine with the daily slaughter of its citizens, unlawful arrests, land and property grabs and the general dehumanisation of the people? While western observers seemed to be shocked by the scale and seriousness of the attacks, many in the Arab world are shrugging their shoulders and saying “we told you so” to the Israeli government and Benjamin Netanyahu.

Do the people in Gaza have no legal pretext to defend their rights being stripped away while the West increasingly gives Israel its tacit approval to a new holocaust which Palestinians wake up to every day since 75 years?

Killing them softly with an "unprovoked" song.
🇺🇦 A massacre in a Ukrainian village last week that was roundly blamed on the Russian military in Western media reports has taken a new twist that further shows the incident was actually a false-flag provocation by the Kiev regime.

Western media last week reported that 52 people were killed when a cafe was allegedly hit by a Russian precision missile on Thursday, October 5. All Western media reports cited Ukrainian officials as their source for attributing blame on the Russian military firing an Iskander missile.

Zelensky needed a propaganda punch for his appeal and Western media obliged as usual to paint Russia as evil barbarians.

🟤 We all remember the standing ovation in the Canadian parliament for Yaroslav Hunka, a 98-year-old Ukrainian-Canadian World War II veteran of the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS. In Ukraine, which the Germans invaded during Operation Barbarossa, they found many Ukrainians sympathetic to the German Empire and/or Nazi ideology.

They were hostile to Soviet communism and wanted an independent Ukraine. So many Ukrainians decided to join what later became known as the most brutal killing squad in World War II.

After the Second World War, many of these SS battalion members were interned in what was then called Camp Rimini in Italy by the British. In 1948, the British allowed approximately 8,500 internees to emigrate to the UK, after which many of them emigrated further to Canada.

While the Western media focused on the Nazi problem in Canada, the United Kingdom remained out of the picture. But this is precisely the place where these SS Galicia members first emigrated to in 1948 🇬🇧

Now, let's assume you don't like the contours of the new, multipolar world order that is emerging because it would accelerate your decline as a global hegemon. Let's add that your expertise is destabilization and that you thrive on chaos and permanent war, both extremely profitable for your military-industrial complex. Also, you need not worry about your financial elites, they are fully on board because they know how to exploit chaos to their advantage. You are good at starting wars not so much at fighting them. Actually you'd rather have someone else fight for you. It takes time, money and energy to persuade the leadership of a country to wage war against its neighbour, but that's not enough, it requires an army fit for the purpose. Terrorist organizations proved useful but nothing beats a traditional war when it comes to selling top of the range weapons and weakening your adversaries. Ukraine is a real cash cow because the collective West is footing the bill, so you will milk it as long as you can. But things are not going as planned, you are not weakening Russia, its GDP is growing and it turns out it has more and better friends than you suspected. It's increasingly difficult to persuade Congress and your allies to keep funding a hare-brained scheme that has backfired. Next year presidential elections will be held in your country and you need to distract public opinion from the inevitable defeat of your proxy army in Eastern Europe, you need to show some success. What do you do? Do you happen to know an allied country that can mobilize hundreds of thousands of military trained citizens at the drop of a hat and can be easily persuaded to use force to complete its nation-building project once it's conveniently framed as "self-defense"? @LauraRuHK
