Chris Hedges “The Greatest Evil is War”

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

Chris Hedges returned to The Sanctuary for Independent Media in Troy NY on October 21, 2022 to speak on the subject of his latest book, titled “The Greatest Evil is War” (Seven Stories Press). This unflinching indictment of the horror and obscenity of war draws from experience and interviews for a book that looks at the hidden costs of war, what it does to individuals, families, communities, and nations.

I’m surprised that he agrees with sanctions, even though they only hurt civilians?!

10/22/22 Patrick MacFarlane on the Populist Right’s Taiwan Hypocrisy

Disclaimer: The views expressed herein are solely those of the author and may or may not reflect those of Ms. Cat’s Chronicles.

Scott is joined by Patrick MacFarlane, the Justin Raimondo Fellow at the Libertarian Institute, to discuss an article he wrote recently as well as the new direction he’s taking his podcast Vital Dissent. Scott and MacFarlane first dig into the growing tension between Washington and Beijing over Taiwan’s sovereignty. MacFarlane points out that some of the best opposition to both the policies that provoked Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and NATO’s subsequent response is from populist right-wingers. But those very same people throw all their logic out the window when the topic turns from Russia to China.

The US declared Iran a participant in the war in Ukraine

The declaration of Iran as a country that participates in the war in Ukraine, of course, is a reflection of the double standards of the US, because in fact the US accuses Iran of supplying weapons to Russia, and Russia uses them. Moreover, accusations are brought by a country that openly supplies weapons to Ukraine, and these weapons are also used for strikes on the territory of the Russian Federation. We do not even consider the very fact of participation of the US military and intelligence services in the fighting in Ukraine. The Americans declare that they are not a party to the conflict, do not participate and do not want to participate in hostilities on the territory of Ukraine.

Biden Is Running U.S. Energy Security Into The Ground

The White House divulged late on Tuesday its plan to release 15 million barrels of crude oil from the strategic petroleum reserve to be delivered in December, as the last tranche of the emergency 180 million barrel release that the Biden Administration announced in March.

Since its inauguration the Biden administration has sold more than 220 million barrels from the 650+ reserve. Refilling it at $70/bl, nearly $50 per barrel more than Trump was going to pay, will be quite costly.

Nuclear High Noon in Europe

Now is the time for Biden to clarify U.S. nuclear doctrine. But he remains silent.

by Scott Ritter

On Monday, Oct. 17, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization kicked off Operation STEADFAST NOON, its annual exercise of its ability to wage nuclear conflict. Given that NATO’s nuclear umbrella extends exclusively over Europe, the indisputable fact is that STEADFAST NOON is nothing more than NATO training to wage nuclear war against Russia.

EU foreign ministers pledge to train 15,000 Ukrainian troops for war with Russia

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

Yesterday, European Union (EU) foreign ministers met at a summit in Luxembourg and pledged a massive escalation of their participation in the NATO war on Russia in Ukraine. This decision confirms that EU countries are at war with Russia and, by the admission of top EU officials, raises the danger of direct military conflict between EU states and Russia.
