Dr. Eberhard König Dresden I was born in Saxony in 1945. Until 1989, my homeland, the GDR [East Germany] , in the form of the Hallstein Doctrine, was under sanctions of the U.S.-minded Western world for its entire existence until 1989. Sanctions are for me always and everywhere "economic war". If the sanctioned party is not brought to its knees in this way, the next stage follows, the war with weapons. This is also the case in the Ukraine conflict. All international customs of cooperation and trade are kicked into the dustbin in order to delay the economic crash of the USA... read more

The Trumpification Of Canadian Politics
Canadian politics have become Trumpified. Michael Harris writes: The same distemper abroad in the U.S. has already made an appearance here. No one talks much about the Freedom Convoy’s purpose in occupying Ottawa for three painful weeks. They wanted to change the government. They wanted a weird configuration of a truckers’ committee, opposition parties, and the governor general to run the show— without the untidy necessity of getting elected. They wanted to depose Justin Trudeau. And the new leader of the Conservative Party of Canada took up at least part of their cause. As Jean C... read more
