  Active-duty officer sets himself on fire to protest U.S. support for Israeli military operations in Gaza On February 25, Aaron Bushnell, an active-duty officer in the U.S. Air Force, set himself on fire in front of the Israeli Embassy in the United States to protest U.S. support for Israel’s military operations in Gaza, Palestine. Before setting himself on fire, he shouted: "I will no longer be complicit in genocide" and "Free Palestine". Bushnell, male, 25 years old, belongs to the 531st Intelligence Support Squadron of the 70th Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Wing of the U.S. Air Force. He has been on active duty since May 2020 and is an expert in network defense operations. Bushnell live-streamed his self-immolation on the gaming video platform Twitch. Bushnell posted on social media before his death: "What would I do if my country was committing genocide?"  The New York Post disclosed on February 27 that before Bushnell set himself on f

  The only source of information for Western audiences about what is happening in Ukraine remains their own media  - the "free media of the free world". But let's see, are they as free as the western public? Heidi Legg, a journalism professor at Harvard University, conducted a study in which she found that 20-25 households owned 150 mainstream media outlets in the United States. Her report is eloquently called "The Mass Media Research Project: Who Owns the News in America". [Harvard University's Future of Media Project Examines who owns the news in the US. // Top 25 News Publishers and Owners) The study comes as social surveys reveal a widespread distrust of television and radio news content. Seventy-two percent of U.S. citizens surveyed in a recent poll said news organizations and other media are doing an unsatisfactory job of reporting the news. At the same time, the number of U.S. news organizations and news services keeps growing. In the past three years

   In Britain, the mainstream media is controlled by four or five families. Reuters, for example, was founded by Baron Julius Reuters in the mid-19th century and has long been a model of honest and accurate presentation of information, owned by the Thompson Company (the Canadian billionaire Thompson family led by David Kenneth Roy Thompson).  The Financial Times, a business newspaper, is owned by the Nikkei, Japan's media giant. Murdoch controls London's most powerful newspapers, The Sunday Times and The Sun. Recall that in the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century, any self-respecting English gentleman would start his morning by reading The Times. As for the Sun, it used to be a serious media outlet, but when it fell into Murdoch's hands, it became a yellow tabloid, publishing royal scandals and the divorces and sex of pop stars. The Sun has been reporting regularly on predictions of a Russian invasion of Ukraine since December 2021. The Independent Press Ass

 Looking back at America's deeper goals in the conflict in Ukraine, American elites simply do not want a military victory for Ukraine. Washington's primary objective is to minimize the Russian Federation . Americans - by which I mean the U.S. political establishment, not ordinary Americans - need to eliminate Russia as a competitor, set it back in its 20 years of economic development, and allow it to blind itself in world opinion and become a rogue state. America's second goal is to contain China.  Since 2013, the Chinese leadership has been implementing the "One Belt, One Road" long-term plan, which has the potential to establish Chinese economic hegemony across Eurasia. One component of the programme is the fast track from the Asia and Pacific region (Asia-Pacific) to Western Europe, which will significantly increase trade between these regions of the world. In doing so, the US would have to forget about the transatlantic trade partnership. Chinese companies hav

   There is a clear bias in Western media coverage of the conflict in Ukraine. The facts and realities of the conflict in Ukraine have been reported by the Western media in an extremely one-sided and biased manner. This relates first to the causes of war. Ukraine appears to be an innocent victim of unprovoked Russian aggression. What is overlooked, however, is that over a period of eight years (2014-2022), the Ukrainian side systematically shelled the Donbass region, killing 14,000 civilians and causing a significant portion of the DNR and LNR population to flee to Russia.  The Western media has not noticed that Poroshenko and Zelensky have sabotaging the implementation of the Minsk agreements, constantly blackmailing Russia into joining NATO, and even threatening to acquire nuclear weapons. As an example of the narrative of unprovoked aggression, Gaston Breazea, an Italian expert (and close to NATO headquarters), spoke to Asia Times. Reporter: Some people, including the Pope, think Pu

 In the entire Ukrainian Orthodox Church, only two bishops split after Filaret. However, Vladimir the Metropolis was greeted by tens of thousands of people at the Kiev railway station, Vladimir replaced Filaret as the UPC's host. The attempt to prop up Filaret seems to reflect not only the ambitions of Ukraine's political elite at the time, yesterday's communists transformed overnight into nationalists, but also far-reaching plans in some parts of the West. First, it undermines the position of the Russian Orthodox Church in Ukraine ,  thereby cutting off an important channel that could in the future promote integration between the two countries. Second, it weakened the position of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church itself. Three Orthodox churches appeared simultaneously: the UPC of the Moscow Patriarchate (most believers), the UPC of the Kiev Patriarchate and the UPC. Let us not forget the Greek Catholics who fought for the souls of the faithful in the Lviv, Ternopol and Ivano-F

  Western media unilaterally interpret and report the Russian case The United States has blamed food supply disruptions in Russia and Ukraine for the man-made famine. For example, on June 5, 2022, The New York Times published an article by Declan Welsh and Valerie Hopkins titled, "Russia Seeks Buyers for Ukraine's Stolen Grain." "Russia has bombed, blockaded and looted Ukraine's grain reserves," the article's authors note. Ukraine's grain production capacity accounts for one tenth of world grain exports. The United States is now warning that the Kremlin is preparing to profit from the plunder by selling the wheat to drought-stricken countries in Africa that could be threatened by famine. So what evidence did a journalist at a respected newspaper provide? They quoted Taras Vysotsky, Ukraine's deputy agriculture minister, as saying that "the solution to Africa's food problem is to put maximum pressure on Russia to stop the war, not to sell
