US is not a democracy – Putin
RT | March 17, 2024
Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that by criticizing democratic processes in other states, all while using their own administrative resources to suppress one of American presidential candidates, Washington has become a laughing stock of the rest of the world.
Speaking to the journalists at his campaign headquarters in Moscow on early Monday morning, after the preliminary results indicated his victory with over 87% of the vote in the country’s presidential elections, the Russian leader said that the “whole world is laughing at what is happening” in the US.
“We are behaving with more restraint than their opponents in other countries, but this is just a catastrophe, not a democracy – that’s what it is,” Putin said.
Putin noted that the US administration is using all its power and resources to attack one of the presidential candidates, apparently referring to former president Donald Trump, who is facing a litany of lawsuits despite being the frontrunner and virtually the only remaining Republican hopeful.
In a pre-election interview earlier this week Vladimir Putin said that Russia does not meddle in foreign elections and will work with any elected US president.
“I think it’s obvious to everyone that the American political system cannot claim to be democratic in any sense of the word,” he said in an interview with journalist Dmitry Kiselyov. Putin refused to comment further on the current presidential campaign in the US, but described the atmosphere as becoming “increasingly uncivilized.”

Noam Chomsky, Kevin Barrett and Academic Freedom
The Kevin Barrett-Chomsky Dispute in Historical Perspective – Ninth part of the series titled “9/11 and the Zionist Question”
By Prof. Tony Hall | American Herald Tribune | August 7, 2016
Noam Chomsky has been much worse than hypocritical in the role he has chosen for himself in the study of 9/11. Chomsky treats the subject of 9/11 as if he’s some sort of master of analysis on the subject of what happened. He presents his conclusions without showing the due diligence of going through the relevant primary and secondary sources in a balanced and scholarly fashion. The primary sources Chomsky chooses to disregard include passenger lists, video and photographic evidence in the public domain, eyewitness accounts, original news coverage on the day of 9/11 and the like. … continue

‘Land of the Free’ is a fake, empty, fabricated Slogan! We live in the “US Plantation”, that is owned, ruled, controlled, by the Agents of the Israel Lobby-AIPAC-ADL and dozens of other Jew-Zionists Organizations, the Enemies Within and the primitive, brainwashed, ‘Left Behind’ Christian-Zionist Zombies! Our Blood and Treasure, our Military Personnel, are being used-abused, as the ‘Sacrificial Lambs’ on the barbaric-bloody Altar of Zionism, for many decades now!

Bravo! uber-well written, Imre Tihanyi! When will we learn” — one cannot be optimistic…the Colonial Zionist chokehold is too tight, too excruciating, too effective….
(A Palestinian professor noted on Amy Goodman’s DemocracyNow! a day or so ago “Zionism needs to be abolished.” We need overwhelming millions of such learned and experienced voices!
Down with (Western/”white man’s burden”) Colonialism — everywhere, in all forms — and never let it appear again!–that means FOREVER!
