EXCLUSIVE: "Since 1945 US destroyed 73 countries and has been directly involved in the deaths of 26 million people"
For many Australians it is
embarrassing the way the Australian Government blindly obeys whatever
the US tells it to do. Even joining in the US’ illegal wars. The
scorched earth policy of divide and conquer, decimate and destroy,
destabilize and control is in stark contrast to the efforts of the
Russian Federation, the BRICS and SCO countries.

Why US bullies Nigeria, but not China and Saudi Arabia - Must Read
The Igbo have a saying – popularised by
the acclaimed novelist, Chinua Achebe – that he who brings home
ant-infested faggots should not complain if he is visited by lizards.
That proverb is apt in describing the type of treatment Nigeria receives
from the Western world, led by the United States of America.
Last year, President Barack Obama made
his second “ward round” to Africa. Again, he excluded Nigeria from his
“patients’ list.” The official excuse was that Nigeria’s democracy was
not commendable. Also, since President Goodluck Jonathan signed the
anti-gay bill into law early this year, the Western world, led by the
US, has not allowed us to drink water and drop the cup, as the saying
goes. Presidential visits have been allegedly cancelled; threats of
cancellation of aids have been issued; patronising and condescending
comments have been directed at us.
