The single-celled cowboy George [5] was not even this lazy in searching for pretexts for the war in Iraq; but what can you do when the disguise of a “war on drugs” immediately peels off the moment you recall that with those same tiny hands, he literally amnestied a proven Latin American drug trafficker the day before—the former right-authoritarian president of Honduras, whom they had imprisoned in an American jail for life because of the mountains of cocaine he and his brother pumped into the USA [6], perhaps even directly to Casa Paella [7]—in order to help his party cronies, ahem, “win” the elections and build yet another concentration camp in another Central American state, following the model of Bukele’s El Salvador [8]. It looks like the embodiment of fears about a global deal between two imperialisms: “you leave us the Western Hemisphere, we leave you Ukraine.”

Britain’s Secret Role in Yugoslavia’s Destruction
Ljubljana’s triumph left an enduring impression upon the British too. In multiple proxy conflicts since then, London has taken the lead on psychological warfare, in particular, atrocity propaganda, vilifying official enemies and justifying intervention and regime change.
Since February 2022, a secret Ministry of Defense-created military and intelligence cell, Project Alchemy, has endeavored to “keep Ukraine fighting at all costs.” Fundamental to this effort are “information operations” designed to convince Western citizens, and Ukrainians themselves, that Kyiv can somehow defeat Russia, by grossly distorting reality on the ground.
[…]
Ljubljana “needed a bloody, dramatic conflict to ensure the world did not lose interest” in their independence crusade. Thus, “they showered the media with details of battles that had often never taken place,” frequently “enlivening the day” with lurid, often unfalsifiable assertions, such as Belgrade landing “squads of special troops in plain clothes” across the country “to terrorise the population,” or plotting to target a local nuclear power plant and create a Chernobyl-style disaster. Journalists dutifully amplified these dubious claims as fact internationally.
Such was the deluge that “it was possible to report the war without ever venturing above ground”—“but, for those who did venture into the sunlight, the bunker war often seemed a fantasy.” For example, Western news outlets widely covered a purportedly “major battle” at Jezersko, a municipality near Austria. When The European visited the area subsequently, “greatly surprised” local Slovenian militiamen instead described a brief tussle with a few Yugoslav soldiers over a border post in which “no one had been hurt.”
Throughout the Ten-Day War, the Western-backed separatist government of neighboring Croatia was “carefully analyzing” Ljubljana’s informational offensive. They concluded the conflict’s “decisive engagements, which virtually guaranteed Slovenia’s independence, took place in the pages of the foreign media and, even more important, in the news bulletins of the major television networks.” Zagreb duly launched its own “propaganda blitz.” Croatian officials were instructed “to hold twice-daily press conferences, which should be as colorful and dramatic as possible,” while Western journalists were given tours by soldiers:
John Birch Society Tries to Bring Back Cold War Culture
Emphasizing the Rockefeller family’s scheming against American interests in his editor’s note, Newman quoted John F. Kennedy warning in a 1961 speech about a “monolithic and ruthless conspiracy” driven by the Soviet Union that “relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence—on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day.”
Today, Newman said, the conspiracy is even more virulent with former FBI Director James Comey, a key ringleader in Russia Gate, allegedly admitting that he was a communist, and former CIA boss John Brennan, another key figure in Russia Gate, admitting that he supported Communist Party USA presidential candidate Gus Hall in 1976.[3]
The ridiculous charges that Comey and Brennan are communist agents mimic the Cold War-era John Birch Society’s efforts to brand hawkish figures in the U.S. national security establishment, like Walt W. Rostow, Dwight Eisenhower and Henry Kissinger, as communist agents.
In Brennan’s case, he said he voted for Hall as a youth because of his then displeasure with the two-party system. However, in 1980, after being recruited as a graduate student at the University of Texas at Austin, he began his CIA career and became known for championing drone strikes and other aggressive measures in the Global War on Terror and an aggressive anti-Russia foreign policy.
The September 2025 issue of The New American, characteristically, featured an article by General Michael Flynn warning of a “deep-state” coup in Trump’s second term and another that referred to prospective New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani as a “Marxist worm.”
