American presidents can easily reshape the world for the worse with destructive and mercenary foreign policy. It makes no sense to consider hopefuls for president, like Ron Desantis, who have no clear record, clear opinion, or clear theology on foreign policy.
Pilger accurately critiqued Obama early in Obama’s political adventures. Pilger remembers the Ukrainian game Obama played, which was part of an international reset, and the opening of doors to American money laundering in Europe’s most corrupt nation, Ukraine.
Writes Pilger,
“In the year NATO invaded Libya, 2011, Obama announced what became known as the ‘pivot to Asia’. Almost two-thirds of U.S. naval forces would be transferred to the Asia–Pacific to ‘confront the threat from China’, in the words of his defence secretary.
“There was no threat from China; there was a threat to China from the United States; some 400 American military bases and assorted installations formed an arc along the rim of China's industrial heartlands, which a Pentagon official described approvingly as a ‘noose’.
“At the same time, Obama placed missiles in Eastern Europe aimed at Russia. It was the beatified recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize who increased spending on nuclear warheads to a level higher than that of any U.S. administration since the Cold War—having promised, in an emotional speech in the centre of Prague in 2009, to ‘help rid the world of nuclear weapons’.
“Obama and his administration knew full well that the coup his assistant secretary of state, Victoria Nuland, was sent to oversee against the government of Ukraine in 2014 would provoke a Russian response and probably lead to war. And so it has.”
Somebody typed a prompt, and a virus came out.
Sixteen of them. Genomes written by artificial intelligence, ordered as synthetic DNA, assembled on a bench, and grown into stocks that replicated and threw off offspring. Thirteen carried mutations that match no known natural sequence. The scientific paper ran in the publication Science, and its senior author disclosed funding from the Gates Foundation.
Six years ago, on April 6, 2020, Bill Gates sat with Trevor Noah and said a vaccine was the only thing that would let us return to normal — and announced that his foundation would start building the factories before anyone had seen efficacy data. Scale during testing, he said, rather than waiting for results. A great many people heard optimism. Some of us heard a schedule.

"There are times when a people tolerate an evil for so long that they cease to recognize its enormity. The evil acquires procedures, professional language, political constituencies, legal protections and respectable explanations. Eventually bloodshed receives a clinical name, partiality becomes public policy, and injustice—once sufficiently regulated—begins to look almost ordinary."

The @EU_Commission met today with Meta & TikTok on the situation in Ceuta.
"Platforms must act decisively in keeping the integrity of the digital space, in particular during crisis situations. Monitoring must increase, cooperation with fact-checkers to be strengthened."
What has social media been commanded to do? Cover up the fact that 72,000 military aged males invaded Spain over a two day period? Spin the story? Hire fact checkers who say, "Don't believe the misinformation. It was only 72 migrants." What were the orders given to social media regarding the Hungarian election of 2026? What orders are being given to the new puppet government of Hungary by the EU?
