German MEP and veteran politician Michael von der Schulenburg explains it all: “If we were to negotiate now, we would first have to recognize that the reason for the war was NATO expansion. And if we recognize that, then we also recognize that the war is our fault…

And if we re can be no other result except for Ukraine to become neutral. So it will not be part of NATO, and as a neutral country, it will not be part of the European Union either.”

🚨Professor Marandi: The United States is not behaving like a normal country.
It is destroying country after country, and in every case, it has an excuse for this.
It, tries to crush Iran.
It's been doing it for 47 years, yet it says Iran is a bad guy.

🚨Who gave those chemicals regime?
It was the West.

🚨The United States encouraged Saddam Hussein to invade Iran in 1980.
And as I said, the West gave him chemical weapons,
all sorts of support, including these very same countries, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and so on.

🚨The United States is supporting, supporting a racist and apartheid regime in Palestine.

🚨So the people of Venezuela have to hand everything over to Trump because he's the victor?
🚨And do you think people in Iran are going to allow him to defeat the country to take the spoils?
🚨It's not gonna happen.

📑So what do you expect people across the world to think
about Western governments when they're seeing Yemen strangulated for a decade, and then the people in Yemen defeat the Saudis?
Who, where do you think popular opinion lies?
Forget the governments.
People across the world don't sympathize with the Saudis, and they don't sympathize with the Israeli regime, and they don't sympathize with the United States.
Whether you like it or not, that's a reality.
There is a reason for this.

🚨It's because the United States is not behaving like a normal country.
It is destroying country after country, and in every case, it has an excuse for this.
It, tries to crush Iran.
It's been doing it for 47 years, yet it says Iran is a bad guy.

Our, our cemeteries are full of dead people thanks to wars imposed on us by the United States.
I survived two chemical attacks.

🚨Who gave those chemicals to the, the, the Saddam regime?
It was the West.
Yet the West presents itself as the good guys and everyone else as the bad guys.
This works in US schools with the school books that kids there have. It works, for Americans who watch CNN or Fox News, it really doesn't matter, or CNN or Sky News.
But in the rest of the world, people are seeing reality, and the reality is very different from the narrative coming from the West.
Let me play you a clip from President Trump about, Iran.
This is what he said.
I say, "You guys are freaking crazy."
They are.
They speak, "We will kill. We will kill everyone. Everyone. We will kill everyone."
And I hear, like, 20 guys behind him.
He's talking, "We will kill everyone."

This is-- They don't talk that way anymore, by the way.
"We will kill everyone," and behind, like, uh, 20 guys,
"Praise be to Allah. Praise be to Allah. Praise be to Allah."
And I say, I do, I say, "Man, you guys, you're really, you're crazy."

🚨What's your response, Professor Marandi?
That's ... That, those are the words of a lunatic.
First of all, who has he spoken to?
What is he talking about?
Who said this?
Who spoke like this?
Who in Iran says that he's the one who's been saying time after time that he'll take Iran back to the Stone Age,
that he'll wipe out a civilization, that he...
So who's the one talking about killing everyone?
Is it him or the Iranians?
Who's the one that's waging the wars?
🚨The United States encouraged Saddam Hussein to invade Iran in 1980.
And as I said, the West gave him chemical weapons,
all sorts of support, including these very same countries, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and so on.
They gave him a couple of hundred billion dollars to wage war against Iran.
They were in the, a US camp, just like now.
Then last year, they waged a 12-day war, unprovoked.
This year, they waged another war, which started with the slaughter of kids in an, in an elementary school.
And then it's the Iranians who are going to, who are saying, "We'll kill, kill everyone"?
And then he has the audacity to say that the Iranians
may wipe out San Diego or Los Angeles, and then he sort of, he seems to be ambivalent whether it's okay to do it or not.
So the problem is not in Iran.
This is all projection.
It is the United States.
🚨The United States is supporting, supporting a racist and apartheid regime in Palestine.
The, Trump himself says, "To the victor goes the spoils,"
and then his MAGA crowd cheer.
Is that what Christ would say?
🚨So the people of Venezuela have to hand everything over to Trump because he's the victor?
🚨And do you think people in Iran are going to allow him to defeat the country to take the spoils?
🚨It's not gonna happen.

‘Alternative media SCARES THE HELL out of the US empire. We will see more billionaires buying and controlling the media, and MORE CENSORSHIP.’

—Matthew Hoh, former Defence Dept. & State Dept. Official who resigned over the Afghanistan war.

‘Programs like yours scare the hell out he establishment, out of the elites.

In the United States, this idea that we have seen this shift in public understanding of what Israel actually is, of what lives for Palestinians are like, of what the genocide has been, the apartheid, the occupation, the reality of it.

That shift in understanding by the American public came not because the New York Times told them about it or CNN told them about it or NBC News told them about it. The legacy mainstream corporate media remained loyal to the United States and to Israel, to their narratives, their talking points, to their requests for censorship.

I don’t think there were requests. I think that was by the American corporate media mostly self-censorship.

So why did the American public shift its opinion, its understanding on Israel, on the American empire, on the reality of what the Palestinian people are enduring? It’s because of this technology.

It’s because of independent journalists. It’s because of alternative media. Again, it’s because of programs like yours that have allowed the American people to truly understand what its government is doing around the world, and that scares the hell out of them.

So what I think, it will get harder. It will get tougher. You will see more censorship. You’ll see more, what we’ve seen already, this consolidation of media.

Larry Ellison and other billionaires trying to buy as much media operations as they can to control it. Pressure by the US government and other governments on the big tech firms to censor. We’ve seen that, we saw that under the Biden administration during the COVID years.

But then also too, if that doesn’t work, if they can’t buy this danger, if they can’t censor this danger to them, then what they will do is simply make it illegal. And you’ve seen that as well in the United States.

You have Presidential Security Directive No. 7 published last year by the Trump administration, which I think of the 20 different things that qualify as being characteristics of anti-Americanism, I think we’ve probably hit on five or six already.

So the idea that being that you then have the threat of federal action against you, and whether that federal action means you’re in prison, or that you’re enduring a legal affair that bankrupts you, I think it’s that power that they have that they will turn to in order to try and protect themselves.

Because again, the idea of what we have been able to do in terms of educating people, informing people, getting people to cooperate, to coordinate, to mobilise, to organise through this technology, that 20 years ago, when Julian Assange started WikiLeaks, was just in its infancy.

This scares the hell out of them, and that’s why I think it’s going to get harder, because this is this technology and the information it allows us to bring to people that threatens their power.’

Putin argues that while machines may surpass humans in analytical ability, people retain an advantage machines cannot easily replicate: the ability to think outside the box.

He recalls the 1983 incident when the world came close to a U.S.-Soviet nuclear war.

Soviet Lt. Col. ed an early-warning alert reporting five incoming American ICBMs. He recognized the alarm as a computer malfunction rather than a genuine attack.

“If instead of Colonel Petrov, there had been an artificial intelligence, everything could have turned out completely differently.”
