Western Europe is predisposed to tyranny and "global conflicts," Moscow's Foreign Intelligence Service says

The US and Russia are natural allies against "Eurofascism" and the tyrannical tendencies prevalent in Western European countries, Moscow's Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) has said.

The spy agency published a text on its website on Wednesday titled 'Eurofascism, just as 80 years ago, is the common enemy for Moscow and Washington.'

Comment:
"situational rapprochement of Washington and Moscow."
One can find instances, many, where the US has worked against Russia, but in the present circumstances it can be of value to find common ground and a platform for that can be a dive into history.

European Union bans commemorating the defeat of Nazi Germany

The European Union is warning European leaders not to attend the 80th anniversary of Victory Day in Moscow on May 9.

Ostensibly, the rationale for such a ban is that Russia is allegedly waging a war against Ukraine and threatening the rest of Europe, according to the EU. That's one way of seeing it.

Another way of seeing the matter is that the conflict in Ukraine is a proxy war sponsored by the EU and NATO to defeat Russia, eight decades after Nazi Germany failed to do it. The Euro elites who have come to dominate policymaking share the same fascist mentality. No wonder, then, that they are against attending the 80th anniversary event in Moscow next month. They need to sully that event by way of covering up their despicable politics.

The event marking the defeat of Nazi Germany and fascism in Europe is a massively important historical date for the entire world. Eighty years ago, on May 9, 1945, the Soviet Red Army crushed the Nazi regime in Berlin thereby ending the most horrific war in human history.

Up to 27 million Soviet citizens - perhaps more - gave their lives in the epic struggle to defeat Nazi Germany and its fascist European allies, including Vichy France, Italy, Hungary, Finland and the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.

Russia holds the honor of liberating Europe from the evil of fascism. By comparison, the other anti-fascist allies of the United States and Britain lost less than 5 per cent of the casualties that the Soviet citizens endured.

It is fitting that many international leaders are attending the Victory Day parade in Moscow this year. They include China's Xi Jinping and India's Narendra Modi.

Many others, however, will not be in Moscow, which is lamentable. The American President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer should be present to pay respects to the soldiers and civilians who sacrificed their lives. Deplorably, the toxic politics that have poisoned relations between Western states and Russia have rendered such participation impossible.

What is all the more appalling, however, is the explicit ban on European leaders attending the celebrations in Moscow.

Cascade of petitions from Israeli soldiers and top brass against the war in Gaza

In the space of a week, a cascade of petitions from the military has suddenly demonstrated the realization by Israeli society that the Netanyahu government's strategy in Gaza would neither bring back the hostages nor defeat Hamas.

The Israelis are beginning to become aware of the horrors experienced by the Palestinians, but they are currently having great difficulty talking about these crimes committed by some of their fellow citizens and fail to take into account the 50,000 people murdered in Gaza.

Some prominent figures, such as former chief of staff General Dan Halutz now openly describe the prime minister as the enemy of the Jewish people and call for his arrest. However, these public figures refrain from recalling that the revisionist Zionists were the allies of Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler against the Jewish people. It is still too early for Israelis to analyze what they have experienced in recent years.

This movement of ideas has its roots in the criticism that Benjamin Netanyahu has maintained for years against the military establishment. It suddenly developed with the post-October 7 war in Gaza. It is therefore both a revolt against the populism of the "revisionist Zionists" and against the project of an endless war that they carry along.

Comment: The awakening of Israel? Will it call off the rabid dog and posit a change in trajectory or will pathological Netanyahu silence his own people?

Trump axes a stricken world order - but there's opportunity amidst the turmoil

The Trump Sweep
© UnknownThe Trump Sweep
Trump's actions were neither 'spur of the moment', nor whimsical. The 'tariff solution' had been pre-prepared by his team over years.

The Trump 'shock' - his 'de-centring' of America from serving as pivot to the post-war 'order' via the dollar - has triggered a deep cleavage between those who gained huge benefit from the status quo, on the one hand; and on the other, the MAGA faction who have come to regard the status quo as inimical - even an existential threat - to U.S. interests. The sides have descended into bitter, accusatory polarisation.

It is one of the ironies of the moment that President Trump and right-wing Republicans have insisted on decrying - as a "resource curse" - the benefits of the Reserve Currency status that precisely brought the U.S. the wave of inward global savings that has permitted the U.S. to enjoy the unique privilege of printing money, without adverse consequence: Until now that is! Debt levels finally matter, it seems, even for the Leviathan.

Vice-President Vance now likens the Reserve Currency to a "parasite" that has eaten away the substance of its 'host' - the U.S. economy - by forcing an overvalued dollar.

Did the IDF kill more Israelis on October 7, 2023, than the Palestinian resistance?

Former Israeli Defense Minister General Yoav Gallant acknowledged on 7 February on Channel 12 that he had ordered the IDF on 7 October 2023 to apply the "Hannibal Directive". According to him, it was implemented in some places, but not in others [1]. In extreme situations, this protocol provides for killing Israelis rather than letting them fall into the hands of the Palestinian resistance.

In January 2024, The Cradle claimed that at least half of those killed at the SuperNova festival were killed by the IDF and not by Hamas [2].

The Jewish state's communication services later presented a video montage to Western parliamentarians, but refused to make it public. Those who saw it in a private screening, were overwhelmed by emotion and conveyed the official version of the "greatest pogrom in history". However, when they saw the photos afterwards, some of them started to express doubts.

The Hannibal Directive is an Israeli military doctrine developed in 1986 by commander of the Northern Forces General Yossi Peled.

Comment: Death by whose hand...does it matter?
The Hannibal Directive was introduced in 1986, after a number of abductions of IDF soldiers in Lebanon and subsequent controversial prisoner exchanges. The full text of the directive was never published, and until 2003, Israeli military censorship forbade any discussion of the subject in the press. The directive has been changed several times, and in 2016 Gadi Eizenkot ordered the formal revocation of the standing directive and the reformulation of the protocol.

In 2011, then IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz stated the directive does not permit killing IDF soldiers to prevent abduction.

Best of the Web: Vladislav Sourkov, the wizard of the Kremlin: "Russia influence will expand in all directions, as far as God wills"

putin putinism Vladislav Surkov
© Alexei Nikolsky / RIA Novosti / AFPRussia's Prime Minister Vladimir Putin confers with his deputy Vladislav Surkov during a meeting on the modernization of the secondary education in the Urals city of Kurgan, on February 13, 2012.
The inventor of Putinism had not spoken since the start of the war in Ukraine. L'Express spoke to him.

Never since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine has he given a political interview. Nor has he made the slightest public comment on this war that is ravaging the heart of Europe. Vladislav Sourkov, arguably Russia's most mysterious figure, has remained silent. Yet the man who 'made' Vladimir Putin, the shadowy adviser who inspired novelist Giuliano da Empoli to write The Wizard of the Kremlin, has a lot to say about Russia and the man who runs it. It took us some time to approach him - and convince him. This politician, who can be considered the 'architect' of the Russian political system, has distanced himself from the man he served for two decades, Vladimir Putin. No one knows what Sourkov is doing today. In the interview he gave us, he avoided the question.

Why interview Vladislav Sourkov, who represents the exact antithesis of our democratic ideal ? Was it necessary to devote a cover of L'Express to a man who considers Ukraine to be an "artificial political entity" that can only be taken over "by force", as he declared in an interview with the Russian Telegram channel WarGonzo a few months before the start of the war? Yes, precisely. Giving the floor to the wizard of the Kremlin means, in a way, getting inside Vladimir Putin's head. Although he is no longer in power, Sourkov has no less mastered all the workings of Putinism. And that is how this interview should be understood: a rare document that shows us how Russian power, at a time of high international tension, pursues its agenda and thinks long term, a far cry from the erratic Donald Trump.

SOTT Focus: What Would Jesus Do?

And is there anything particularly Christian about Christian Zionism?
gaza destruction ruins
When did Jesus say it was acceptable to starve the poor, slaughter women and children while turning a blind eye to the suffering of the weak? The answer, of course, is never. Yet for years, a vocal strain of American Christian Zionist leaders have supported policies that do precisely that — enabling the starvation and slaughter of Palestinians while underwriting broader wars that have decimated ancient Christian communities across the Middle East. How did we arrive at a place where those who claim to follow the Prince of Peace justify such unchristian horrors?

The Biblical call for compassion is clear: Leviticus 23:22 commands, "When you harvest the crops of your land, do not harvest the grain along the edges of your fields, and do not pick up what the harvesters drop. Leave it for the poor and the foreigners living among you." This is a divine directive to care for the vulnerable, not an optional gesture. James, the brother of Jesus, is yet more emphatic: "Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you" (James 1:27). What kind of religious leaders cheer the bombing of Gaza's widows and orphans, left destitute by policies supported by American and Israeli leaders? Decades of war propaganda have numbed many Americans to the atrocities committed in their name. Yet a growing awareness is stirring both here and abroad.

Biden engineered a border crisis to secure Democrat Party's political power

The Biden administration, activist judges, and the propaganda press formed a three-pronged machine... to dismantle the system's ability to deport en masse.

Between 2021 and 2024, the Biden administration allowed the U.S. southern border to spiral into an unprecedented crisis. But this wasn't merely bureaucratic failure or negligence — it was a calculated political strategy to overwhelm the immigration system in order to bolster Democrats political power.

Data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shows more than 10.8 million encounters nationwide between fiscal year 2021 through fiscal year 2024. In response, the Biden administration didn't move to secure the border or enforce the law. Instead, the administration did things like create — out of thin air — a new parole program to funnel in approximately 530,000 foreign nationals from nations like Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela. The CHNV parole program was temporarily halted following fraud. As reported by Fox News, "several recipients were also arrested for high-profile crimes, including multiple child rapes." Trump moved to cancel the program.

Judge rules Google is operating illegal ad monopolies that 'substantially harmed' customers

Google operates illegal monopolies over two separate markets related to digital advertising technology, a federal judge ruled on Thursday - dealing the Big Tech giant another historic antitrust loss that could result in a breakup of its online empire.

The bombshell ruling by US Judge Leonie Brinkema in the Eastern District of Virginia determined that Google violated the Sherman Act by dominating the online publisher ad server market and the ad-exchange market that connects ad buyers to sellers.

"Google further entrenched its monopoly power by imposing anticompetitive practices on its customers and eliminating desirable product features," Brinkema wrote.
