John Wright says it is the media - which is owned by the ruling elite - which controls our politicians. He says how the British ruling elite are schooled at Eton, Cambridge, and Oxford which are hotbeds of extremism, where they are indoctrinated with white Western supremacy. The same thing happens in the US, he says.
In the past we had some measured and responsible politicians, says, John Wright, like JFK, but now we only have arrogant crazy people (cowboys, I might add) which makes the situation very dangerous.
Russia and China are going to have to be very careful in how they handle the fall of Western power, he says, and so far they done extremely well, adding that China and Russia are well aware of what is needed to be done. I found that to be a bit reassuring
John Wright says that the US has a very violent culture which brutally oppresses its poor, but it does the same thing to most other countries in the world. It's about exploitation and keeping the masses down.
When the Soviet Union broke up 70 million Russians were driven into poverty. I even read how most Russians lost their pensions overnight. How would you feel if you lost your pension while Western backed neoliberal fat cats stole all the money? So, now that most Russians know what being a vassal state of the US really means, they don't want anything more to do with it.
Anyway, if John Ashcroft had asked me those questions I would have given him the same answers.
I put 5 stars on this video.
The barrage of scaremongering by the British press before the football World Cup painted Russia as a tyrannical country unsafe for tourists and football fans alike… but the reality has been very different. So, was this Western media onslaught a mistake, or just the latest instalment of post-Cold-War rhetoric to malign Russia? Host Ross Ashcroft is joined by writer and broadcaster John Wight to discuss why both sides are locked in a frozen conflict.

Conservatives would label the video “Marxist.” That’s how well they have been programmed by politicians and the corporate media outlets.
Anything other than war is “appeasement.”
Anything other than neoliberalism is “Marxist.”
Anything other than a perpetually widening gap between the rich and the rest is “Communist.”
That’s Idiot Camp #1. I’ll call it the Franko camp.
Idiot Camp #2 consists of liberals who are obsessed with attacking straight white non-Jewish males. They spend all day hunting for “homophobes” and “transphobes” and “male privilege.” The champion “diversity” (meaning only their opinions are valid).
Each side is as stupid as the other. Trump’s supporters are as mindless as are his detractors. This is all by design of the oligarchs that own the politicians and the corporate media outlets.
Keep the peasants bickering and helpless. Keep them clamoring for war with Russia or with whoever. Keep them cheering their own slavery.
