    “The ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas, i.e. the class which is the ruling material force of society, is at the same time its ruling intellectual force. The class which has the means of material production at its disposal, has control at the same time over the means of mental production, so that thereby, generally speaking, the ideas of those who lack the means of mental production are subject to it. The ruling ideas are nothing more than the ideal expression of the dominant material relationships, the dominant material relationships grasped as ideas.”Kar Marx

    The more I learn about the enemies of America and her allays the more sympathetic I grow towards them. This is what correct journalism looks like. It tells me the facts on the ground from each side with no hidden agenda.

    Growing alliance of Russia and China is clearly reversing the current world order. One of the major factors behind such reversal is the power of superior quality human resource of Russia and China which is the product of their indigenous schooling. Imported government- “Leaders” - of third world, dutifully transfer tax money of common people to the banks of USA and the West. As we are seeing in Pakistan. They (USA and West) make sure that third world masses are thoroughly conditioned to accept and even justify one way traffic of national wealth from third world under the façade of “Democracy, freedom, and human rights”. I urge Vijay to initiate discussion on “Mechanism of “How third world population are conditioned to serve the interest of US & West at the expense of their pauperization”.

    It is somehow funny to me as an Ethiopian to hear something like “déjà -vu” or “déjà-entendu”. Things you said about journalists reporting on fabricated information have happened in the Tigray conflict in Ethiopia not long ago. Western journalists based in Nairobi, Kenya are “wise” enough to report an “eye-witness” account of the conflict in Northern Tigray telling the world a “definite” number of Tigray civilians killed in a conflict that happened maybe hours ago. When one of these ignorant and insensitive “omnipresent” journalists was confronted on how he got the information, he shamelessly replied, “I heard it on “Demtse Woyane”, a terrorist controlled media outlet. Surprisingly, he added the fact that no Western people let alone journalists are allowed in the conflict zone. Vijay, I am beginning to believe David Ike’s theory of the shape-shifting nature of the ruling class anywhere in the world.

    To reach the ultimate conclusion of people wanting to hoard wealth even though it causes others to be hungry, by intelligent design the vast majority are born with a desire to be rich, which causes them to worship the rich. And so, we the few who desire to feed the hungry, in no way should we fantasize our inner goodness, as this would make us most despicable.

    Calling trump and Nixon madmen mad erratic without giving any pretext and analysis and asking to understand north korea (that's good imo) isn't that hypocritical?? And the Libyan example which he is using to justify the North Korean nuclear proliferation priority happend just 4-5 years before this video and proliferation is happening way before that...

      I dont think he meant it. What I was seeing is that he said a coin has two sides. Likewise for any country there any many perspectives like 1.how they view about their own country 2.How the country who hates them view them 3.How a neutral country view them and 4.How a country favouring them view them etc.., Obviously he is not talking about normal people but about state medias who should never take sides and should remain neutral while making their articles.
