Two clear signs that Western elites are willing to gamble with the life of the planet to prevent Russia from winning in Ukraine
The first sign was when NATO allowed Ukraine to strike the nuclear shield at Armavir. The second is the massive naval presence around Kaliningrad. They know these are Russian red lines.
They also know that the only way Russia could stop an offensive on Kaliningrad is with nukes. They have zero regard for our lives and the life of the planet.
After all, your vote means nothing to them. They are 100% focused on pleasing their arms manufacturing donors, and another lost war will make these deep pockets lose sales. Plus Neocons’ irrational Russophobia is part of our military doctrine.
The Neocons MUST be stopped.

“THE RESPONSE WILL BE VERY HARD”: 50 NATO WAR SHIPS OFF THE SHORE OF KALININGRAD. A "NUCLEAR" SIGNAL SOUNDED
Fifty NATO warships are going to conduct exercises off the coast of Kaliningrad. But some experts believe that we are not talking about “exercises” at all. There was a “nuclear” signal from Russia: better stay away.
Offensive on Kaliningrad?
NATO's Baltops 24 naval exercise, the alliance's largest event in the Baltic Sea, kicked off in Lithuania on Wednesday. In total, more than 50 ships of various classes, 45 helicopters and airplanes, as well as 9 thousand military personnel will take part in it. During the exercises, NATO members are going to practice combat raids, convoys, amphibious landings, air defense, mine search, fire support and other military operations.
For Russia, this is not just an unnerving event, but a direct military threat, since the exercises will take place just 136 kilometers from the coast of Kaliningrad. Western military experts and even politicians have repeatedly said that if there is ever a direct clash between NATO forces and Russia, the first thing NATO forces will do is attack Kaliningrad, the westernmost outpost of our country. This will allow Western forces to break through to Russia and lock down the Russian fleet. NATO has long dreamed of making the Baltic Sea its own.
These plans are not hidden. As Lithuanian Ambassador to Sweden Linkevicius said, “if Russia dares to challenge NATO, Kaliningrad will be the first to be neutralized.” He also confirmed what Moscow has been saying over the past decades - the aggressive North Atlantic Alliance is indeed encircling Russia on all sides.
The British newspaper The Times, in turn, notes that Sweden's accession to NATO greatly simplifies the task of a naval blockade of Kaliningrad. The Swedish island of Gotland, located south of Stockholm, which the British call “Putin’s geopolitical nightmare,” could become a springboard for the Western military bloc.
Let us remind you that in recent days information about the West’s preparations for a big war with Russia has been increasingly leaking to the press. First there was talk about the possible transfer of French troops to Ukraine, then 13 Western countries allowed the Armed Forces of Ukraine to fire their weapons deep into Russia, after which information appeared that Poland was preparing to mobilize 200-300 thousand soldiers, and just the other day the media reported that NATO was developing land corridors for the transfer of American forces to Ukraine.
Taking all this into account, the unexpected large-scale NATO exercises near Kaliningrad really look like preparations for a naval blockade of Kaliningrad.
The aggressiveness of the US and Europe is truly discouraging. The West is seriously committed to a clash with Russia, although Moscow has long made it clear that if such a war happens, the Russians will fight not with conventional weapons, but with nuclear weapons, since the forces of the parties are unequal (NATO now includes 30 countries) and they can win with conventional weapons in such a situation. impossible in the scenario. And Russia's military doctrine prescribes the use of nuclear weapons if the existence of the state is threatened. But it seems that the West is ready to risk starting a third world war rather than surrender Ukraine.
"It's not a bluff"
It is already being said openly that Russia is ready to use nuclear weapons. Deputy head of the Security Council Dmitry Medvedev said that the conflict with NATO is now proceeding according to the worst case scenario. Literally every day, Western countries increase the degree of military tension, as if specifically setting out to arrange an exchange of nuclear strikes. Medvedev believes that the United States and Europe are confident that the Russians will not have the courage to use nuclear weapons, but they are mistaken.
Alas, this is not intimidation or bluff. The current military conflict with the West is developing according to the worst possible scenario. There is a constant escalation in the power of NATO weapons. Therefore, it is impossible to rule out the transition of the conflict to its final stage, noted the politician.
He said that Russia can indeed use tactical nuclear weapons on countries that are within its zone of action, and for those who are outside its borders, there are strategic nuclear weapons.
Russia's military doctrine says that its nuclear arsenal can be used if the country is attacked with nuclear weapons, if the enemy attacks Russia's critical military installations that are part of its nuclear shield [this already happened!], or if the country's existence is threatened. The enemy has already violated one of these points when the Ukrainians attacked radar stations used for early warning of a nuclear strike with Western weapons. That is, Russia already has the legal right to use its nuclear arsenal. [Clearly the Neocons in Washington have ZERO regard for the lives of their own compatriots.]
Moreover, as military expert, head of the Center for the Study of Military and Political Conflicts Andrei Klintsevich told Tsargrad, Russia has already warned NATO through closed channels that if there is an attempt to blockade Kaliningrad during “exercises” or attempts to invade the region, Moscow will give a tough and immediate response .
To protect Kalinungrad
Military political scientist, associate professor of the department of political analysis and socio-psychological processes of the Russian University of Economics. G.V. Plekhanov Alexander Perendzhiev, in a conversation with Tsargrad, put forward the assumption that the withdrawal of the NATO fleet into the Baltic Sea is an attempt to stop Russia’s offensive in the Kharkov region. The West specifically creates threats on Russian borders in order to force Moscow to transfer part of its forces from Ukraine to the defense of Kaliningrad.
They hope that Russia will be forced to use its resources and stop the offensive. Now summer is the most favorable period for exercises, and NATO is taking advantage of this. And summer is always the peak of armed confrontation in Ukraine, noted the expert.
Perendzhiev believes that Russia will deploy its ships and use naval aviation to prevent aggressive actions by NATO.
Somewhere we will stop their impulses, as we did before, long before the special operation, he explained.
But military political scientist, head of the department of political analysis and socio-psychological processes of the Plekhanov Russian University of Economics, Andrei Koshkin, believes that both the permission to hit Russia with Western weapons and the sudden NATO exercises in the Baltic Sea are all just “scarecrows.” Thus, NATO wants to stop the further advance of Russian troops in this way.
They are trying to escalate the situation in order, if necessary, to force Russia to compromise if its successes on the battlefield are too obvious, the political scientist suggested.
Conclusion
Whether NATO is trying to scare Russia or is actually preparing for war with our country - the difference is not that big when the escalation is going on at such a frantic pace. Even if this is just a bluff, no one can guarantee that during the exercises in Kaliningrad some kind of provocation will not occur, which will serve as a pretext for declaring a full-scale war.
Many years ago, Russia and the United States were already on the verge of exchanging nuclear strikes. Then, as now, the West began to worsen the situation. The Americans placed their missiles in Turkey, and the Soviet Union responded by placing missiles in Cuba. Realizing that the world was one step away from nuclear war, the American leadership urgently held negotiations with Moscow, and the Cuban missile crisis was resolved.
However, today the Western elites have greatly degraded. For the most part, these are infantile, poorly educated people who live in their own separate liberal-globalist bubble and are as divorced from reality as possible. In addition, for some reason they are obsessed with the paranoid idea that if Russia defeats Ukraine today, then tomorrow it will attack Europe (although Putin directly said that Moscow has no interests in Europe). The West, which itself started the Ukrainian conflict, now believes that its survival depends on it, which means that it cannot rely on the prudence of its former partners. It is not at all true that they will show the same wisdom as Kennedy, who realized how dangerous it is to play with fire.

The strike of Russian missiles destroyed the elite pilots of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and their commander: 05 June, 2024 Yulia Sokolova
Finally, the first details of Russia’s large-scale attack on a former recreation center in the village of Dachny, Kharkov oblast, have been revealed. According to Telegram channels, the base served as a shelter for the elite 414th separate battalion of attack unmanned aerial systems of the Ukrainian Marine Corps (OBUBAS), known as the “Birds of Magyar”. Next to them were foreign instructors and mercenaries from NATO countries. There is nothing left of the base except ruins and numerous casualties, writes aif.ru.

A Symbol of Struggle and Defeat: The 414th OBUBAS, named after Commander Robert Browdy, call sign "Magyar", has long been a symbol of Ukrainian tenacity and innovative approach to warfare. Under his leadership, the battalion acted on the front lines of the Ukrainian defense, especially near Kherson, where their task was to cover the Marines. After the loss of the bridgehead at Krynki and the complete liquidation of Ukrainian forces there, the issue of transferring “birds” [drones] to the Kharkov direction became relevant.

The strategic importance of Kharkov: The transfer of a unit to Kharkov emphasizes the strategic importance of this sector for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, notes military expert Alexander Ivanovsky. Ukrainian troops suffer significant losses here and are forced to retreat. The presence of experienced UAV operators could seriously strengthen the Ukrainian position, especially given the massive use of drones. However, Russian missile attacks “showered” enemy positions, significantly weakening the defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, pronedra.ru clarifies.

New air strikes on Ukraine: the cities where explosions occurred on June 5, 2024 are named
In Ukraine, explosions occurred in several cities on the night of June 5, 2024. Local residents reported bright flashes in the sky, which were visible and heard from different areas. Previously, military targets were hit.
Several explosions occurred at once on the territory of Ukrainian Poltava. Explosions were also heard in Kharkov, local media noted.
Explosions occurred in the area of Kherson controlled by the Ukrainian army, the Ukrainian publication Strana reported on June 5.
“Explosions are reported in Kherson,” the message says.
At the same time, according to the online map of the country’s Ministry of Digital Transformation, there is currently a missile danger warning in Poltava, Kharkov, and in Sumy Kirovograd, Dnepropetrovsk and Nikolaev oblasts.
Before this, it was reported that explosions were heard in Kiev and the Sumy oblast, writes Gazeta.Ru.
In addition, according to the coordinator of the Nikolaev underground, Sergei Lebedev, Russian troops hit a military facility in Dnepropetrovsk.

Blown to bits. The strike of Russian missiles destroyed the elite pilots of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and their commander
Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation
Finally, the first details of a combined Russian strike on a former recreation center in the village of Dachny, Kharkov oblast, have become known. Telegram channels write that there, along with instructors and mercenaries from NATO countries, were the personnel of the elite 414th Separate Battalion of Attack Unmanned Aircraft Systems of the Marine Corps (414th OBUBAS), known as the “Ptakhi Magyar” (“Birds of Magyar”) "). They say that all that remains of the Ukrainian Armed Forces base are firebrands, and the territory is strewn with the bodies of hundreds of dead.
"Birds" were kept warm, but sent to hell
The 414th OBUBAS received its proper name from its commander Robert Browdy with the call sign “Magyar”. He is a well-known personality and, to some extent, significant for the Armed Forces of Ukraine and Ukraine. It is worth noting that it was Browdy who was at the origins of the formation of special unmanned aircraft units in the Ukrainian army.
Until recently, the “Birds of Magyar” were located near Kherson, in the Krynki region. Their tasks included covering and supporting Ukrainian marines entrenched on the left bank of the Dnieper. After the bridgehead was liquidated, and not a single living Ukrainian soldier remained in Krynki, the question arose about the advisability of OBUBAS operators being here. The other day information appeared that the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces had transferred “birds” to the Kharkov area.
Volchansk.
Choked in blood. Zelensky threw the survivors of Krynoki to die in Volchansk
More details
“Such a rapid movement of the unit speaks of the extreme importance of the direction to which it is being transferred,” military expert Alexander Ivanovsky expresses his opinion. — Near Kharkov, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are suffering heavy losses and retreating. Of course, from a military point of view, saturating forward positions with experienced UAV operators with a large number of strike-type drones will create Russian attacking units. All military officers note that the sky in both Volchansk and Liptsy is literally filled with enemy drones. Add in The Birds of Magyar, and things could really get complicated. But our missiles plucked them thoroughly.”
"Magyar" is more dead than alive
Before the “birds” had time to arrive and settle down, they were immediately hit. It seems like they were just waiting for them: instructors, mercenaries and drone operators. The target is finger-licking good.
The munition arrived and exploded in the most praiseworthy fashion. Judging by the photographs of the destroyed buildings, there were complete seams. Arms and legs flew in different directions. That same morning, information began to arrive that more than three hundred NATO mercenaries and instructors were being handed out “carrots.” NATO troops were transported by car towards Kiev, and from there by plane to Poland and Germany. [Sounds gruesome, but Russia has been worried about how to deal with the Western policy allowing Ukraine to fire western munitions deep into Russin territory. From this report it appears that Russia is retaliating quite effectively. Putin had warned that if NATO personnel were sent to Ukraine, they would be killed. They can’t complain now. Why the Western elites fail to listen to Putin is a big mystery to me. I think what the West fails to realize is that there are now resistance agents (underground workers) all over Ukraine, even in areas that are not traditionally Russian-speaking, and they are relaying the coordinates of buildings housing NATO personnel to the Russian Ministry of Defense. This may be a case of Western officials believing their own propaganda that Ukrainians are all on Zelensky’s side when in fact, most hate him for dragging their men to the front to die]
But information about the “Birds of Magyar” began to leak out a few hours ago. Most likely, Kiev tried to keep information about the destruction of its unmanned elite secret. But what kind of secrets are there in Ukraine, even if, according to Zelensky himself, the top-secret date of last year’s summer offensive was leaked to the right place.
Ukrainian Nazi of Hungarian origin Robert Browdy, nicknamed Magyar [means Hungarian in Hungarian], is at risk of being liquidated.
"Birds" in a cage. The commander of the drone squad of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Magyar may have been destroyed
More details
The exact number of destroyed [drone] “pilots” of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is kept secret, as is the location and condition of Browdy (“Magyar”) himself. Before this, he managed to survive, although several of his best students had already been destroyed. What happened to “Magyar” is still unknown for certain. But, judging by the wailing of the Ukrainian ambulances, it can be assumed that “Magyar” was either killed or seriously wounded. Both are excellent results, especially taking into account the destroyed NATO members and experienced Ukrainian UAV operators.
The birds flew the coop.
[This report is good news if it signals that Russia has found its solution to the new Western policy of allowing deep strikes into Russian turf with Western arms - a non-nuclear solution. Good news for the world if true]

Russian troops destroyed warehouses with weapons and military equipment of militants of the Foreign Legion of the Ukrainian Armed Forces
Over the past 24 hours, operational-tactical aviation, unmanned aerial vehicles, missile forces and artillery from groupings of troops of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation destroyed warehouses with weapons and military equipment of the “Khortitsa” operational-strategic group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and militants of the “Foreign Legion”. As stated in the report of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation on the progress of the special military operation, the storage area for unmanned boats and the accumulation of enemy manpower and military equipment in 118 regions was also hit.

In particular, units of the North group of troops improved the situation along the front line and struck manpower and equipment in the areas of the settlements of Veseloye, Grafskoe and Volchansk in the Kharkov oblast. Seven counterattacks of assault groups were repelled. Enemy losses in this direction amounted to up to 290 military personnel, two tanks, two US-made M113 armored personnel carriers and three vehicles.
Units of the West group of troops occupied more advantageous positions, and also defeated the formations of the Ukrainian Armed Forces near Stelmakhovka, Novoselovsky, Chervona Dibrova and Makeevka in the Lugansk People’s Republic, as well as near Petropavlovka in the Kharkov oblast, Torskoye and Yampolovka in the Donetsk People’s Republic.

Mask Off Maersk: Demand logistics giant Maersk cut ties with genocide
A new international campaign aims to end Maersk’s pervasive role in the transportation and supply of weapons used by Israel in its genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza.
BY PALESTINIAN YOUTH MOVEMENT JUNE 4, 2024 3
(IMAGE: PALESTINIAN YOUTH MOVEMENT)
Editor’s Note: The Palestinian Youth Movement issued the following statement on June 3, 2024. To learn more, visit maskoffmaersk.com.
Today, the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM) announced the new transnational arms embargo campaign, ‘Mask Off Maersk’, targeting Maersk, the world’s largest integrated logistics and shipping company. Organisers aim to end Maersk’s pervasive role in the transportation and supply of weapons and weapons components used by Israel in its genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza.
Since October, the Danish shipping and logistics giant has transported over $300 million in weapons components from around the world, including Europe, to U.S. arms manufacturers. This accounts for a full quarter of known U.S. shipments to Northrup Gruman, Woodward, RTX/Raytheon, and Lockheed Martin since the beginning of the current genocide in Gaza. With 68% of weapon sales to Israel coming from the U.S., Maersk is integral to the global flow of arms that sustains the Israeli occupation forces’ current bombardment of and ground operations in Gaza.
‘Although 68% of weapon sales to Israel come from the U.S., we know that the UK Government is complicit, with over £448 million worth of arms licenced to Israel since 2015. In addition, we know that critical components of the F-35 fighter jet that is currently being used to massacre Palestinians in Gaza are manufactured here in Britain,’ said PYM’s Nadya Tannous. She added that, ‘Maersk ships weapons and weapons components, meaning Maersk actively facilitates the flow of weapons to Israel. Maersk subsequently guarantees the consistent supply necessary for the destruction of Gaza’.
In the campaign announcement at the People’s Conference for Palestine in Detroit, Michigan, PYM highlighted the International Court of Justice (ICJ)’s injunction for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, which raises the issue of Maersk’s liability in flouting the order of a court that has binding jurisdiction over Denmark, the country where Maersk is headquartered. The legal consensus reached by the court, as well as the injunction itself, is binding upon all ICJ members, including Copenhagen: By continuing to circumvent the ICJ’s ruling through its shipment of weapons to Israel, Maersk is guilty under international law of aiding and abetting an occupying power that has been found to be actively engaged in the indiscriminate targeting of a besieged civilian population.
‘Arms manufacturers outsource the production of weapons components, like the wings for fighter jets, ammunition, and engines. These components are then placed on a shipping container and brought to weapons manufacturing facilities, where they are assembled then shipped to Israel to conduct the genocide of Palestinians. Logistics companies play an invisible but insidious and central role in making and profiting off the weapons that Israel uses to kill Palestinians. The mask is off. The people must demonstrate what the true cost is of supporting genocide’, said Tannous.
The international campaign will bring together labour unions, student movements, community-based organisations, legal organisations, and other pro-Palestinian and progressive organisations, to exert pressure on Maersk to end their complicity in the arms trade supply chain to Israel, which represent a small portion of their overall business portfolio. The campaign will take up a multi-tiered strategy against Maersk, including pension and endowment divestment, labour action, pickets and direct action, legal campaigns, and cancellation of existing city and campus collaborations.
The PYM invites organisations to endorse the Mask Off Maersk campaign, and individuals to sign the petition in support of the campaign’s demands:
1. Ending the transportation of weapons and weapons components.
2. Cutting all contracts that fuel the genocide of the Palestinian people.
3. The implementation of an arms embargo to end the genocide.

BEFORE YOU GO – The mainstream media has reached a new low as it uncritically repeats government lies to justify the Israeli assault on Gaza. Mondoweiss has been there from the start, pushing back against this campaign to manufacture consent for genocide.
We are fighting the biased reporting and dehumanizing rhetoric by building a platform for Palestinians to tell their stories in their own words.
We need to do more. All of us. Will you join us in the fight against media bias and help us report the truth about Palestine?

Jeffrey Sachs explains how the Ukraine war got started in 2014
How did the CIA operate to trigger the coup d'état in Ukraine in 2014? American economist Jeffrey Sachs explained in his recent interview to renowned US journalist Tucker Carlson.
Our thanks to award-winning film maker Regis Tremblay for this:
Scott Ritter is not the only one calling out the US, and you know that. All of the alt-media and critics have exposed all of the lies and myths of the US, but who is listening? I don't see the vast majority of Americans listening, and if they were listening, why are there not a hundred million of them marching on Washington? I've come to the conclusion we are listening to a giant echo chamber; preaching to the "choir" so to speak. Revolution is not going to happen in the USA.
Russia, China and the ever-expanding BRICS is the best indication of a global strategy to dethrone the hegemon. Read through this carefully:
https://brics-russia2024.ru/en/
The collapse of the US/UK colonial hegemons is coming to an end. That much is clear. The ONLY question is, will the psychopaths in Washington and London, realizing they have lost this epic battle for the future order of the world, take the whole world down with them in a nuclear Armageddon. I foresaw where we are today in my 2017 film, Thirty Seconds to Midnight - The Final Wakeup Call. Those were my closing remarks in that film.
My real fear is that a nuclear war could happen because of a serious mistake or human error. If there are Dr. Strangeloves in Washington and London who would push the button, they surely are evil incarnate.
This was my commentary the other night on the View from Crimea:
I wish more people in the US were aware of how Russians are responding to this nuclear gaslighting.
My comments on what happened to Scott Ritter. "They" were never going to let him have that enormous platform at the St. P Economic Forum. He should not have broadcast his intention beforehand. Scott became a public enemy in the US when he quite his job as a weapons inspector in Iraq, criticized his superiors, Bush, Cheney, and others, and testified to Congress. "They" entrapped him and sent him to prison. Since that time he has been a high profile critic of the US government's foreign policy. He's made at least two high profile trips to Russia. He was lucky this time that he was not permitted to go to Russia and only lost his passport. They could still make him a Julian Assange, or a Gonzalo Lira.
Regis
Me,
Thanks again for commenting. The lackadaisical attitude of Joe Sixpack is precisely why I wrote America cannot be made great again. The illegitimate officials who represent ONLY their donors and never their constituents would not be able to steam-roll over you throughout their careers if enough of us stood up to the bastards.
What will it take to wake up the sleeping public? Maybe if the Feds came after not only the truth tellers but also the news consumers who read alt.news? Would that do the trick perhaps?

Israel received a boost in aid, with appropriators adding $80 million for US-Israeli anti-tunneling cooperation and $55 million for counter-UAS [unmanned aircraft systems] development and directed energy cooperation.
But all funding for Ukraine was stripped from the bill — a fact highlighted by Democrats on the committee, who also slammed proposed provisions on culture war issues such as abortion and climate change.
“Once again, the Republican majority has written a Defense Appropriations bill that prioritizes extremist social policy views [So supporting extremist Israel is good?] over the well-being of our service members and the security of our nation,” said Minnesota Rep. Betty McCollum, the top Democrat on the defense subcommittee, who added that she was “disturbed” by the cuts to Ukraine aid.

The death of truth is at hand
https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2024/06/05/the-death-of-truth-is-at-hand/
The death of truth at the hands of the Establishment Elites is not what bothers me the most. Of course these power hungry vultures want to control us and will do whatever it takes.
What chills me to the bone is the public, which sits back and does nothing to defend our freedom.
I often wonder where all the hordes are that should be screaming for Assange’s freedom. He broke no laws and had a Constitutional right to tell the truth – the Constitution was not written JUST for Americans. We have the right to “KNOW the truth, and that right is by extension, protected by the First Amendment too.
This was my point when I wrote “We need a new America.” From the ground up. If the grassroots refuses to change, to defend our Constitution, no one will. Government starts here.
Don’t let it end here!
All of NATO's 30 so-called Countries are under the same Zionist command & control of governments, corporations, finance, media, religion, education, military-industrial, legislative, judicial, pharma-med & agri-business COMPLEX, just as the US is controlled by the same in AIPAC. Zionist goal is recentering of western empire in Palestine-Israel as the LAND-BRIDGE between the Mega-Continents of Eurasia & Africa, for permanent transit control of trade, resources, goods, services, energy & people. USA, Canada & all NATO are being trashed, just as all Israel's Islamic & Christian Neighbours are being trashed. Unable to cultivate higher values, Zionist cowards as despondent schizophrenics, have used US-Canada & NATO bull-dogs to diminish their neighbours, in order to so-called 'get-ahead'.
OLIGARCH SUBMISSIVE NEO-CONS AS INTELLECTUAL COWARDS
The human story & transformative loving logic come from engaging perceived adversaries in scheduled, timed, Both-sided, Equal-time, Recorded & Published Dialogue. All humanity's worldwide 'indigenous' (Latin 'self-generating') ancestors & First Nations cultivated COUNCIL PROCESS. Healthy societies prioritize Dialogue to raise issues positive for understanding, working-agreement, contracting or for Conflict Resolution. https://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/d-participatory-structure/1-both-sides-now-equal-time-recorded-dialogues
War itself represents an intellectual MONOLOGUE cowardice on the part of our western Oligarch owned & controlled fake 'money' (Greek 'mnemosis' = 'memory') amnesic governments, corporations & media.
Mohandas Gandhi describes DIALOGUE as part of India's 'Swadeshi' (Hindi 'indigenous' aka 'self-sufficiency') program of 'Satyagraha' (H. 'Truth-search'). "Non-violence springs from love, cowardice from hate. Non-violence always suffers, cowardice would always inflict suffering. Non-violence & cowardice go ill together. I can imagine a fully armed man to be at heart a COWARD." Gandhi is speaking here to the intelligent mind of the soldier as a potential active contributor to his or her community, society & ultimately to the international conversation of war & peace. Social Media might afford peace today if converted from Mono to Dialogue? Every Web-page Comment section can have a 'DEBATE' (French 'de' = 'undo' + 'bate' = 'the-fight') button for organizing challenges to authors & other commenters according to formal protocols.
Eg. Western genocide & moral failure in refusing to engage in the open public dialogues which Muammar Gaddafi offered before & during western murder destruction in Libya?
