And Happy impending International Workers' Day! All over the World, (outside of North America) May 1st is the day for those who toil to rest and recognize without their labours civilization stops. It's a simple and obvious truth the powers that be - which shouldn't be - spend enormous amounts of time and fortunes obscuring from the public's cognition. Obviated too is the parallel purpose of the original May Day; Peace. The robot intelligence informs: "In 1889, the Second Socialist International designated May 1st as a day of international workers' struggle, including calls for an eight-hour work day, universal suffrage, and world peace..."
One hundred and thirty-six years later the need for peace has never been greater.
Meanwhile, opposite sides of the Russo-American War are talking peace; though how seriously remains a matter of conjecture. What is certain however, as the principles posture the little people, those whose work maintains the World, are paying the price of this protracted conflict.
John Helmer’s a journalist and author who’s spent decades living in and reporting from Russia. He’s the principle behind the web news site, Dances with Bears and has - as well as serving as advisor to governments at the highest level - too been a professor of political science, sociology, and journalism. Among Helmer's many book titles are: ‘The Man Who Knows Too Much About Russia,’ ‘The Lie That Shot Down MH-17, ‘Skripal in Prison,’ and now the freshly released Skripal sequel, 'LONG LIVE NOVICHOK! The British Poison that Fooled the World'.
Today, John Helmer writing, 'Russia Is Ready for a Bad Deal with Trump for Good Russian Reasons' and more insight on the backroom maneouvrings between the erstwhile rivals to remake the post-Cold War World.
