Alfred de Zayas: The West Has Become a Totalitarian Dystopia, The World Has Become Multipolar
Alfred de Zayas discusses how democracy and media and institutions in the West have become fake and are morphing into Orwellian totalitarianism. However, the world is changing, we are no longer the unipolar world of Washington and Brussels, we are a multipolar world…the global majority is not anymore with the West. NATO is a criminal organization with a history of violence and violation of the UN Charter. The EU is a scam. We are living the totalitarian dystopia that George Orwell predicted. He explains the true history behind the Russia-Ukraine War. With the support of the U.S., Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Julian Assange’s fate does not look good. He doesn’t think the West has it in them to start WW3. He never gives up hope and is optimistic in the long-term.
