Despite the US, France, and Germany - hand-in-hand - lecturing the world about “democracy,” as Syrian elections approach, they have worked together to undermine the elections. Not because they truly believe the elections aren’t “free and fair,” but simply because there is no possibility for their client regime of choice to come to power. While the UN implores regional states to respect Syrians and their choice whether to vote or not, the UN has been silent about France and Germany in particular, specifically banning Syrians from casting votes at their embassies in both countries. These daily videos (Monday to Friday) are published first for Platinum Sponsors and above first, then made public later on in the week. Thank you for your support and making this work possible!

Week of July 12-16, 2021 Inflection is a weekly show featuring Angelo Giuliano and Brian Berletic, discussing recent headlines and in-depth discussion of topics shaping the shift from West to East and unipolarism to multipolarism. This week we talk about the US strategy of containing China, how the Western media attempts to deny this, and the undeniable evidence of this strategy stretching back decades. We also discuss news topics including a UK government-funded “monitoring” group focused on Myanmar, the US “withdrawal” from Afghanistan, the assassination of Haiti’s president, and the stabbing of a Hong Kong police officer by opposition extremists.
