FOLLOW THE MONEY
US funds will follow the interests of the American oligarchs….AKA American interests overseas…..Americans are reminded “we are not a democracy, we are a constitutional republic. Jobs have been sent overseas where manufacturing is controlled by foreigners, resulting in empty shelves and high prices in the USA. Demands for a 1-payer comprehensive public health care system by a majority of Americans are ignored by political recipients of industrial big-money campaign contributions. Most deadly is the Climate Change caused by abuse of nature and our environment. The USA feels like the engine of worldwide military aggression and oligarchical models.

It’s about the ratings. RT’s ratings were excellent…..due to content……We need radio-free USA…..
C-Span callers shared diverse views today.7:09–caller–paraphrase–spoke of reactivating Radio Free Europe—In response the guest alluded to Russian oligarchs and the role they play in said tension—C-Span host showed a clip of Joe Biden going after Russian oligarchs who Biden says line their pockets with the money of the Russian people. (Intellectual honesty demands a statement that coinciding with actions of Russian oligarchs, US oligarchs also line their pockets with the money of the US people. State-run-corporate-owned media in both of the USA and Russia enforce the indoctrination by oligarchs)(Perhaps a Radio Free USA is required. Be aware of censorship of RT that has been excluded from the ability of Americans to access)(Russian oligarchs are indeed the problem as significantly as are US oligarchs)

Timothy Frye on Putin and Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine
Timothy Frye, a professor of post-Soviet foreign policy at Columbia University, talked about President Putin and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.–end of c-span info–
8:30AM–caller–paraphrase–The guest explained the reasons for the tension between Russia and the Ukraine except for the expansion of NATO toward Russia. The same style of reporting happened toward Assad, Hussein, and Qaddafi.
(Intellectual honesty seems to be ignored by corporate-owned-state-run media and the Democratic/Republican duopoly that finally seem synchronized against Russia, and in particular Russian oligarchs, when the Republican/Democratic duopoly is in power due to American oligarchs)

The US participated in the negotiations that led to the creation of the court. However, in 1998 the US was one of only seven countries – along with China, Iraq, Israel, Libya, Qatar, and Yemen – that voted against the Rome Statute. US President Bill Clinton signed the Rome Statute in 2000 but did not submit the treaty to the Senate for ratification. In 2002, President George W. Bush effectively “unsigned” the treaty, sending a note to the United Nations secretary-general that the US no longer intended to ratify the treaty and that it did not have any obligations toward it. However, since then, US relations with the court have been complicated but often positive (see question 7 below).

https://popularresistance.org/ukraine-exposes-white-supremacist-foreign-policy/ –A Watson Institute of Brown University study showed that more than 37 million people in North Africa, Western and Central Asia, and the Horn of Africa have been displaced by the US and its allies since 2001. The humanitarian disasters begun years ago are ongoing, as refugees use the Mediterranean and even the US border with Mexico as points of escape. After experiencing wars of aggression these nations are then subjected to punishment as the United States steals Afghanistan’s assets and keeps Syria under the thumb of Caesar Sanctions. These thefts cause more suffering and even death as nations are robbed of the ability to care for their people. Who is civilized and who is not?–end of popularresistance info–

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1H0rCqaGtJw –US/NATO Provoked Ukraine War Say Most Experts On Russia
The USA is obsessed with economic globalism to the extent of Administrations wishing to “fast track” TPP that includes language that gives preference to multi-national corporations over local-community environmental and human rights. The USA like Russia is also not a member of ICC that is contemplating war crimes against Putin. It is said this would be difficult because the ICC can only regulate members.
8:58AM–guest–paraphrase–The ICC is viewed suspiciously by the USA because the USA can be exposed to allegations of war crimes and our so-called leadership can be called to accountability.
How can this not raise questions about American oligarchs who insist we “spread democracy around the globe” by military action, especially when democracy is highly questionable in the USA, and American oligarchs are impinging on territories of other nations, and so as to avoid innuendo one refers to Russia, when military action to “spread democracy around the globe” includes American war crime allegations?
If it looks like fascism and walks like fascism and quacks like fascism……..
In a nutshell, as they say, censorship is used indiscriminately by oligarchs regardless of nation of residence—-https://www.govexec.com/oversight/2022/03/watchdog-report-interior-foia-trump-zinke/362731/ –ACabinet agency under the Trump administration implemented an additional review process for public records requests that lacked clarity, which led to perceptions of “political considerations” in some instances, according to a new report. Adam Marshall, senior staff attorney at the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press who is an expert in government transparency, told Government Executive on Thursday, “the findings of the inspector general report were deeply disturbing.”–end of pogo into–

The soundbite of of promoting fossil fuel use and drilling in the USA is loudest and overshadowing the need for a change away from the Climate Change that is harming humanity and nature for profiteering for world oligarchs.
Harm by some corporations in pursuit of profits is real and the response is impotent. For example—*https://nida.nih.gov/drug-topics/trends-statistics/overdose-death-rates*https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/opioid-manufacturer-purdue-pharma-pleads-guilty-fraud-and-kickback-conspiracies –Opioid manufacturer Purdue Pharma LP (Purdue) pleaded guilty today in federal court in Newark, New Jersey, to conspiracies to defraud the United States and violate the anti-kickback statute.Purdue pleaded guilty to an information charging it with three felony offenses: one count of dual-object conspiracy to defraud the United States and to violate the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, and two counts of conspiracy to violate the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute. “The abuse and diversion of prescription opioids has contributed to a national tragedy of addiction and deaths, in addition to those caused by illicit street opioids,” said Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey A. Rosen. “Today’s guilty pleas to three felony charges send a strong message to the pharmaceutical industry that illegal behavior will have serious consequences. Further, today’s convictions underscore the department’s commitment to its multi-pronged strategy for defeating the opioid crisis.”—end of justice.gov info–
The health and welfare of Americans is handled cheaply by the US government, in order to underpin worldwide oligarchs.
