Aug. 7-Whereas it is no longer possible to ignore the signs that the U.S. Administration and NATO are preparing a military confrontation with Russia and China, perhaps even during this or next month, more and more leading personalities have found the courage, virtually at the last minute before the catastrophe, to break through the orchestrated charade (theater), which is aimed at using black propaganda to prepare the population for the coming war. The "Guns of August," the build-up toward the third, and, as Speaker of the Duma Sergei Naryshkin put it, humanity's last world war, is in full swing. But the way out is also within reach. It is most remarkable that a former NATO Commander should express himself as follows. The Italian Lt. General Fabio Mini, formerly Chief of the General Staff for NATO's Southern Command and the Commander of KFOR in Kosovo, on the web-site "Critica Scientifica," issued a clear warning Aug. 6 that the current "world war" was escalating into a nuclear confrontation, and he linked this dynamic with the control of the financial markets over national states. He warned that today, limited wars are no longer possible, even theoretically, and that all the present conflicts- from the Cold War against Russia in the Baltic states, to Ukraine, to Syria and Yemen, including the socalled "low intensity conflicts"-indicate that we must not expect a totally new conflict, but that we are already in it up to our necks.
