Mothers NEVER forget children killed on the battlefield. At the EU Parliament in 2015 I recited a poem by Nikolay Alekseyevich Nekrasov, citing mothers as unique in this respect (see minutes 10:40-13:40 of pandoratv.it/?p=5176). For more on my talk see raymcgovern.com/?s=Brussels+fo….

SOLEMN REMEMBRANCE as Moscow marks May 5, 1945 Victory in Europe. 27 million Soviets killed, as Russia bore brunt of Nazi attack (compared with less than half-million US troops). ForMin Sergey Lavrov has warned two oceans will not protect the US this time. youtube.com/watch?v=JUfbaK…

Gaza: including how Israel made war for Lebensraum in 1967 and then thumbed its nose at unanimous UNSC resolution #242 to withdraw. China & Russia each hosting Palestinians. US students defend 1st amendment; some little-known history on how it came to be. youtu.be/4xQGEJfF9w8

Lloyd Austin has distinguished record of “fixing” intelligence. In 2015, over 50 military analysts in formal complaint to Pentagon IG accused him of changing their intel to fit US claims of progress against ISIS. Biden tin-eared warning of this on Ukraine: original.antiwar.com/Veteran-Intell…

As US & Russia near open war in Ukraine, recall that on Apr. 25, 1945 US & Soviet allied troops finally met on the Elbe River just before final WWII victory. Happy VE Day! SPIRIT OF THE ELBE, AND OF STUDEBAKER. How did Allies become Enemies? (6 min video).

Washington Post's “Fact Checker” Glenn Kessler (of chequered reputation) cannot leave RFK Jr’s stating true facts on Ukraine unchallenged. Well versed in adducing 'alternative facts' Kessler now outdoes himself - no doubt with 'research support' from CIA. washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/…

COURAGEOUS DEMOS MAKE BIDEN LISTEN! Beat up enough students and professors and you get this: 'US has suspended shipment of weapons to Israel,” Lloyd Austin, just told the Senate. “We are currently examining the short-term security support in the context of the events in Rafah.'

“President Scheer” is convinced that Putin is a warmongering madman dead set on taking all of Ukraine and Europe with it. I tried dissuading him from the “intelligence” of his advisors to inform him of the actual reality in Ukraine; Putin wants and has wanted negotiations,…

During my weekly brief with “President Scheer” this week, I tried explaining to him the concerns and perspectives the of anti-genocide student protesters. Unfortunately, President Scheer was quite puzzled at the concept of…empathy, and was more convinced the students were…

Let’s see:
- Blinken says the ceasefire deal is extraordinarily generous & says it’s up to Hamas to accept
- Hamas accepts
- Israel rejects. Orders Palestinians to leave eastern Rafah & then proceeds to bomb western Rafah
- bombing Rafah was the US “redline”
- US blames Hamas

July 2023 - Biden: “Putin has lost in Ukraine”; CIA's Burns: “Putin's strategic failure, military weakness laid bare.” It somehow seemed time for an update last Saturday. No-fly Zone in the Black Sea? Putting a “beneficial fear” in enemy minds and hearts.

Unrepentant Michael Isikoff, co-author of Russian Roulette fairytale, is still claiming RUSSIA HACKED THE DNC spytalk.co/p/dmitri-alper…, 8 and a half yrs after sworn testimony disproving that charge intelligence.house.gov/UploadedFiles/… and, oddly, on 6th anniversary of release of that testimony

TACTICAL NUKES: In rare move Moscow announces preparation for air and naval exercise of tactical missile formations' to ensure “combat readiness of non-strategic nuclear forces”. Specifically, reaction to “threats of Western officials” like Macron, Cameron youtube.com/watch?v=k5lhQ-…

Incredible historical document here: Blinken says Israel’s PR is failing because social media allows people a direct look at what’s happening, shorn of the ability to mediate it, and it lands with emotional resonance. Romney then says yes, that’s why we moved to ban TikTok

The President’s Daily Brief briefing to ‘President Scheer’ May 3 found him thoroughly frustrated; kept pleading for some good news on Gaza, Ukraine, campus ferment. I tried to expose some of the lies he's been told; unable to promise better news next week.youtu.be/H9V2I5HjDgA?si…

Everyone in the world needs to see this.

Note that this footage permits no room for 'it was a mistake,' showing repeated, specifically-targeted strikes on the unarmed and even wounded. The sort of behavior the ICJ explicitly forbid in the genocide ruling against Israel.

Witness on university campuses a hopeful sign that a keen sense of justice is alive and well among students willing to put their body, and their future, on the line against US support for Israel genocide. Tough Tom Cotton, though, decries the inconvenience youtube.com/watch?v=ceNTs2…

Mr. Netanyahu, antisemitism is a vile and disgusting form of bigotry that has done unspeakable harm to millions.

Do not insult the intelligence of the American people by attempting to distract us from the immoral and illegal war policies of your extremist and racist government.

Have we arrived at what Ed Snowden termed ‘Turnkey Tyranny’? “No Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause”, the founders wrote in the 4th amendment. I trust I’m not the only one to memorize the whole amendment. Stephen Gardner & I do a tour d’horizon. youtu.be/-P78u2zs3mA

🇺🇦🇷🇺 .@RayMcGovern debunks the State Dept. narrative that just $60 billion more in weapons for Ukraine will allow them to finally beat Russia...using President Obama's and Antony Blinken's OWN WORDS against them.
