However, according […]
In truth, Russian and Israeli state meddling in the 2016 US elections doesn’t hold a candle to all the actual coups and “regime changes” perpetrated by our own intelligence agencies all over the world since 1947. The USA staged coups against virtually every progressive government that emerged since WWII. The list is long and growing, […]

The Russians got their hooks into tRump when he tried to screw his financial backers after his casinos went belly-up in the ’90s. the New York banks wouldn’t loan tRump any more money […]

Kennedy, U.S. Steel and seven other major steel manufacturers over their blatant violation of an agreement which he had personally negotiated between U.S. Steel and the United Steel Workers’ Union.
