The new deputy prime minister, Oleksandr Sych, is from Svoboda; National Security Secretary Andriy Parubiy is a co-founder of the neo-Nazi Social-National Party, Svoboda’s earlier incarnation; the deputy secretary for National Security is Dmytro Yarosh, the head of Right Sector. Chief prosecutor Oleh Makhnitsky is another Svoboda member, as are the ministers for Agriculture and Ecology (Channel 4, 3/5/14). In short, if the prospect of fascists taking power again in Europe worries you, you should be very worried about Ukraine.
Milano is right at the heart of the Military-Indusrial-ENTERTAINMENT Complex, being married to a Creative Artists Agency agent (Dave Bugliari). CAA has organized the Hollywood propaganda offensives of the past few years. They are central to the Democratic Party strnaglehold on politics that excludes independents and third parties. They arrange for celebrity pundits to appear around the media demonizing whomever the Dem establishment wants demonized and shilling for war and corruption. They are the enemies of peace, justice, and humanity.
Additionally, that fraud hack Milano is the person who got Twitter to suspend the Political Film Blog Twitter account permanently. I hope she is laughed out of the media a la Alex Jones.
I’ve had to correct the mindless sheeple today who love Ellen, even when she’s immoral and despicable.
There are many valid reasons why a huge number of Americans–and global citizens–consider George W. Bush a war criminal, despite Hollywood liberals trying to resuscitate his image.
The war on Iraq killed over a million people by some very credible estimates
The war on Iraq was an illegal breach of the UN Charter
The UN Charter is based on the Nuremberg Principles, for which the Nazis were hanged in 1946 for Crimes Against the Peace
Bush and company lied to the UN and to the Congress and to the American people about bogus Iraqi “ties to Al Qaeda” and “Weapons of Mass Destruction” they knew did not exist
Ellen wants to know nothing about this reality and instead spins George W. as someone with a different “political opinion.” In Ellen / Hollywood Neoliberal land there are no crimes from politicians–unless your name is Trump, apparently, and all is forgiven after enough of the audience forgets about it. It’s not a matter of right and wrong, but a matter of demographics.
Ellen DeGeneres is an apologist for war crimes, empire, and “American Exceptionalism.” Like other comedians who are allowed into the big money club, she has shown her true colors. Morality be damned, like those million dead and 4 million refugees displaced in that one war crime: one of many.
Ellen has become complicit now actively selling Bush and therefore legitimizing his crimes in the minds of her ignorant audience. She has willingly taken on the role of apologist. She helps turn America into a new Reich where the laws against attacking other countries do not apply and the people mindlessly cheer the next bloodletting.
PS
Ellen’s false-equivalence spin gets the Dore treatment…
But Beijing contends that the demanded reforms amount to “economic regime change.” As Michael Hudson puts it:
This is the fight that Trump has against China. He wants to tell it to let the banks run China and have a free market. He says that China has grown rich over the last fifty years by unfair means, with government help and public enterprise. In effect, he wants the Chinese to be as threatened and insecure as American workers. They should get rid of their public transportation. They should get rid of their subsidies. They should let a lot of their companies go bankrupt so that Americans can buy them. They should have the same kind of free market that has wrecked the US economy. [Emphasis added.]
Hero of the empire for shutting his mouth about material aid to terrorists.
This video should end his career as a Democrat, anyway. Watch the short video.

Wow. Cruise missile liberal Bill Maher went full-on neocolonialist in his latest interview with white-nationalist Ann Coulter: Maher praised the US-backed right-wing coup in Venezuela and declared "This is our backyard!", citing the imperialist Monroe Doctrine of 1823 pic.twitter.com/7iLFU5nwQp
Retired senior US military pilots are increasingly alarmed that Hillary Clinton’s proposal for “no-fly zones” in Syria could lead to a military confrontation with Russia that could escalate to levels that were previously unthinkable in the post-cold war world.
From the State Department’s website the $330 million in support for the Syrian opposition includes training for networks of citizen journalists, bloggers and cyber-activists to support their documentation and dissemination of information on developments in Syria.
…Libya, which had the highest GDP per capita and life expectancy on the continent, is now a failed state; Western intervention transformed Iraq from an emerging country with moderate prosperity into an impoverished country with a starving population.
Will have more on this in the coming days. Another anti-Iran exercise, as Israel and the US push for war against Iran, as they have done for over a decade. Imperial court jester Stewart apparently finds something funny about further demonizing the Iranians, and has bought the rights to this:
“Stewart has adapted [Maziar] Bahari’s 2011 book “Then They Came For Me: A Family’s Story Of Love, Captivity And Survival,” a fascinating and suspenseful true story about the journalist’s 2009 arrest during the Iranian election protests, which led to him spending 118 days in jail.
I caught several problems with Bahari’s Daily Show interview, which I’ll comment on shortly.
Stewart evidently couldn’t find any stories in the United States itself worthy of his directorial debut.
