In a historic interview with Oksana Boyko on RT just a month after the US-backed coup, the late former Australian prime minister Malcolm Fraser offered his opinion and advice on NATO’s plans to “capture” Crimea and Ukraine. Eleven years later we may lament that his advice was ignored by European and US leaders, with deadly… Continue reading Malcolm Fraser talks to RT on NATO and Ukraine, March 2014

Framing Russia as a Terrorist State; SBS plays midwife.
The SBS news broadcast on August 10th covered two related events – an Israeli missile strike on a school beside a mosque in Gaza city which was sheltering hundreds of displaced people, and an alleged Russian strike on a Kostantinivka supermarket in Donetsk. The presentation of these two lethal strikes was quite different – giving… Continue reading Framing Russia as a Terrorist State; SBS plays midwife.
Whose Missile?
Above is a comparison between the video shot of the missile that hit part of the Okhmatdyt children’s hospital in Kiev on Monday 8th July, with a view from Google Earth looking in the same direction – NORTH. This shows that the missile descended steeply towards its intended target following launch from somewhere WEST of… Continue reading Whose Missile?
Russia’s Gauntlet
We seem finally to have reached the point of rupture and of no return – in WB Yeats’ words: “the falcon cannot hear the falconer – things fall apart, the centre cannot hold..” Things have also outpaced me, failing to finish and post this piece till now, when its message has been overlaid by a… Continue reading Russia’s Gauntlet
Time to Choose a Side
Never have the words of South Africa’s Archbishop Desmond Tutu been more appropriate: “To remain neutral in a situation of injustice is to choose the side of the oppressor”. Following the ICJ’s unanimous decision to accept South Africa’s case that Israel is committing a genocide in Gaza, those who support international law and human rights… Continue reading Time to Choose a Side
A Tale of Two Sieges.
Two cities, Mariupol and Gaza, have been under siege, but only one is liberated. The besiegers, Kiev and Tel Aviv found common cause, as the Western coalition gave them money and weapons to fight for this cause against any comer. Both are colonial enterprises, set up to further the interests of the Empire, and constructed… Continue reading A Tale of Two Sieges.
NYT – evidence Ukrainian missile killed civilians in Kostantinivka
I reviewed the evidence provided by the New York Times that the missile which killed or injured dozens in the town of Kostantinivka on September 6th was fired by Ukrainian forces in my previous article – “The Fragmentation of Ukraine”, concluding that the town was intentionally targeted by Kiev as a false flag attack, and… Continue reading NYT – evidence Ukrainian missile killed civilians in Kostantinivka
The Fragmentation of Ukraine.
Kiev’s use of a fragmentation warhead to kill and injure civilians in a busy market-place is a metaphor for the destruction of the country under its rotten and corrupt leadership. Both are so far invisible to the leaders and publics of NATO countries, and those others obliged to shelter under the simmering nuclear umbrella of… Continue reading The Fragmentation of Ukraine.
NATO’s Nuclear Terrorism
Just say these words Mr Grossi – “UKRAINE has to stop the shelling” around the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant and the town of Ernohodar. “The shelling has to stop” is not enough; the AFU’s shelling has to stop. Just tell them to stop endangering us all with their nuclear terrorism, and let everyone hear it.… Continue reading NATO’s Nuclear Terrorism
