Not sure people are getting the real importance of the Russians fooling Trump about the Ukrainians attacking Putin's house. It was to demonstrate just how much they control his thinking--how much he is in their pocket. And it worked.

John Kaspar was also a close associate of Asa Carter, the guy who wrote George Wallace's 1963 "Segregation Now" speech. Dan Carter's chapter on the Clinton, TN episode is well worth reading. www.google.com/books/editio...

Unmasking the Klansman may read like a work of fiction but is actually a biography of Asa Carter, one of the South's most notorious white supremacists (and secret Klansman). During the 1950s, the Nort...

Jo Ann Allen Boyce's life was disrupted not only by standard-issue US white supremacy, but also by a particularly virulent strain of American fascism. School integration in Clinton, TN began fairly peaceably, until a neo-Nazi associate of George Lincoln Rockwell named John Kaspar showed up.

Vergewaltigung in der Ehe: Der lange Kampf der Frauen
Erst 1997 wurde Vergewaltigung in der Ehe strafbar. Hannah Davies hat den zwanzig Jahre langen Kampf um den Paragraphen 177 dokumentiert – und die kruden Argumente gesammelt, mit denen er verteidigt wurde.

U.S. companies kissing Trump's ass should take note: Their own considerably larger business interests in Europe are at stake here.
I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.
It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

I feel sick every time I hear the U.S. president conflating Ukraine’s gradual loss of land with its overall strategic position. Is his team really so ignorant? Or is this yet another instance of their favoring the interests and nihilism of the few over the interests and values of the many?

Ein sich entfesselnder Kapitalismus hat die Demokratie in den USA faktisch pulverisiert. Auch hier wird alles, was nicht unmittelbar Gewinne für Kapitalisten verspricht geschliffen. Die Kabinette verstehen sich nicht mehr als Schirm und Diener des Volkes, sondern als dienstbare Büttel des Kapitals.
