On April 21, Russian President Putin warned that certain "red lines" are being crossed by actions of western forces, which threaten Russia's security and sovereignty.  If this continues, it will force Russia to respond in an "asymmetrical, swift and tough" way.  Yet, as he stated, as such hostile actions toward Russia have become commonplace, "Everyone pretends nothing is happening."  Fortunately, there are some voices in the West speaking out, including Tulsi Gabbard, Dr. Lyle Goldstein, and Helga Zepp LaRouche.  A Schiller Institute online conference will be held on May 8, to bring you up-to-date on the strategic crisis, and give you an opportunity to join our mobilization to break out of the present trajectory, which is shaped by City of London and Wall Street geopoliticians and neoliberals.  Sign up to participate here:  https://schillerinstitute.nationbuilder.com/20210508-conference

The Belarus State TV station reported that a top Biden adviser, Michael Carpenter, was involved in the plans for a regime change coup in Belarus, including the assassination of President Lukashenko.  At the same time, leading mouthpieces of British intelligence call for "raising the cost" imposed on Russia for its alleged continued "malign behavior," arguing that failure to do so "convinces Russia it is free to carry out attacks across Europe with impunity."  Now they are blaming Russia for a 2014 explosion in the Czech Republic, despite Czech President Zeman saying state security found no evidence of Russian involvement.  The anti-Russia cabal responded by introducing impeachment proceedings in the Czech Senate.  Sound familiar?

On April 23, I interviewed Col. Richard Black (ret.), on his view of the inhuman sanctions the U.S. has imposed on Syria, to provoke a change in regime there. Col. Black, the former chief of the U.S. Army's Criminal Law Division at the Pentagon, was blunt in his condemnation of this policy, which he described as "brutal" to the extent it makes him ashamed of what the U.S. is doing. He called on all citizens, especially leaders of religious institutions, to join with the Schiller Institute's mobilization to end the sanctions. Today's Update is of the last exchange we had. You can see the full video here.

The devastation unleashed throughout central Europe by the Thirty Years War (1618-1648) was ended by an agreement, called the Peace of Westphalia.  This treaty included a declaration of non-interference in the domestic affairs of sovereign states.  In 1999 and for the next five years, British PM Tony Blair ran an aggressive campaign to move into a "post-Westphalian world", based on a doctrine of the "Responsibility to Protect", to justify regime change against sovereign nations which don't accept "our values."  Iraq, Libya, Ukraine and Syria have already been subjected to mass murder, and Russia and China are targeted.  Why? -- Because they don't share Mr Blair's "values", especially when those values include support for assassination of leaders (Libya), support of neo-Nazi militias committed to ethnic cleansing (Ukraine), and the arming and training of Jihadists, followed by famine-inducing sanctions, as in Syria.

April 23, 2021 -- As tensions increase dramatically due to the targeting of Russia, China and other nations which refuse to submit to the unipolar, "rules-based order" enforced by the U.S., U.K. and NATO, President Putin delivered a "stern warning", in his 17th annual State of the Nation address on April 21. While addressing Russian concerns over the state of the economy, his remarks were pointed regarding the strategic crisis stemming from ongoing geopolitical provocations in Ukraine, against Belarus and elsewhere, even as he reiterated his desire for more cooperation, renewing his call for a summit of the Permanent 5 members of the United Nations Security Council.

In the face of an overall frenzy of flight forward provocations coming from Washington, London and NATO, Russia's President Putin addressed the Russian people -- and the world -- on April 21, in a speech described accurately in the western press as conveying a "stern warning." However, the Fake News media did not present the whole picture, and provided nothing of the context for the speech: the sanctions policy, which is disrupting economies, causing famine and death in targeted countries; western sponsorship of regime change coups and Color Revolutions; and continuing wars, and military exercises, aimed at especially containing Russia and China. It is essential that Biden's team take this speech seriously, and accept Putin's offer to convene a summit of the Permanent 5 Members of the U.N. Security Council, before the world is plunged into catastrophe.

While Biden's Secretary of State Blinken is echoing the talking points of the Prophetess of Doom, Greta Thunberg, much of the rest of the world is orienting toward economic development, fueled by the kinds of higher energy-flux density power systems rejected by the Davos billionaire's Green New Deal.  Long-term psy-ops run against the U.S. population by the brainwashing think tanks of the British Empire are designed to make you "indifferent" to "other people's" suffering, but we can smash their evil intentions by building an anti-Malthusian movement.  Join us on May 8, when the Schiller Institute will present a conference, "The Moral Collapse of the TransAtlantic World Cries Out for a New Paradigm." 

Unbeknownst to most Americans, resistance is growing internationally to the scientific fraud and economic disaster known as the "Green New Deal" (GND).  Furthermore, few are aware that the movement behind it was launched by a rabid opponent of human civilization, Sen. Gaylord Nelson, whose passion -- like that of those oligarchs who rushed in to support him -- was population reduction.  In 2002, Nelson lamented that the environmentalist movement did not speak openly about reducing the world's population, which he said was the result of "McCarthyism" and "demagogic contrivance."  Nelson, like most of those in power today trying to impose the GND globally, would prefer to cover up the British roots of Malthusian genocide, and its successful implementation of population reduction based on eugenics and British "race science", in Nazi Germany.
