The Hitlerite Lie That Drove U.S.-&-Allied ‘News’-Reporting Throughout 2025

 

31 December 2025, by Eric Zuesse. (All of my recent articles can be seen here.)

Nazi — that is, racist-supremacist-imperialistic — lies demonize domestic populations that they crave to eliminate (such as in Gaza), and especially demonize foreign Governments that they crave to add to their empire; and, so, in 2025, the U.S. empire’s ‘news’-media ceaslessly focused upon the war in Ukraine as being aggression by Russia against Ukraine that had started on 24 February 2022 when Russia invaded Ukraine, instead of as being what it was: aggression by the U.S. against Russia that had started during 20-27 February 2014 when the Obama regime in Washington DC perpetrated its coup in Ukraine against Russia, which very bloody coup replaced Ukraine’s existing committedly neutralist democratically ellected Government and installed there a rabidly anti-Russian government that promptly started slaughtering supporters of the Government that the U.S. regime had just overthrown. The objective has been to position U.S. nuclear-armed missiles on Ukraine’s border with Russia a mere 300 miles (500 km.) five minutes away from blitz-annihilating Russia’s central command in The Kremlin. That is the U.S. regime’s goal; and, on 24 February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine in order to prevent it from ever being achieved.

A typical example of this Hitlerite lie is the ‘news’-report on 18 December 2025 “Who are the Westerners sanctioned by the EU for spreading Russian propaganda?” at EuroNews, which opened:

 

One American and two Europeans have gained legitimacy spreading propaganda off the back of their former careers in Western police forces, military or intelligence.

A former sheriff from Florida, a member of the French military and a Swiss intelligence officer were among 12 individuals sanctioned by the European Union on 15 December.

The measures initiated by France also led a host of Russian nationals to be sanctioned, in light of Russia’s continued hybrid warfare targeting the EU’s member states and its partners.

The three Westerners have used their former careers in Western police forces, military or intelligence to gain credibility, according to experts.

“Their past careers in intelligence and the military conjure up ideas of secrecy, as well as the notion of the ‘deep state’ for the public,” Hervé Letoqueux, CEO at Check First, a company which monitors disinformation, told Euronews’ fact-checking team, The Cube.

“The fact these individuals have these past professions ultimately allows them to say pretty much anything, meaning that they don’t need to prove anything; it gives them a form of authority, so they can say whatever they want,” added Letoqueux, who previously headed France’s agency for foreign digital interference, Viginum.

Xavier Moreau

Xavier Moreau is a French-born former military officer and businessman, described as a disseminator of “Kremlin propaganda” in Europe by France’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Jean-Noël Barrot.

Moreau, who acquired Russian citizenship in 2013, has lived in Russia since 2000.

He has spread a host of disproven pro-Kremlin narratives, for instance, claiming that Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine was orchestrated by [NO: that it was a response to NATO’s trying to bring Ukraine into] NATO, and that Kyiv was responsible for shooting down Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 in 2014.

In 2014, Moreau participated in Russia’s so-called referendums on the annexation of Crimea and later of the Donbas region — which were not recognised by the international community — as a “foreign observer”.

 

As regards the allegation that “Kyiv [Ukraine’s U.S.-installed government] was responsible for shooting down Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 [the “MH17” airliner] in 2014,” I had fully documented (with links to all sources, each one of which is available online) that that allegation is true, headlining on 7 October 2019, “Update on the MH17 Case”. You can see right there the entire case, and directly access each item of evidence in the case. The EU, even more than the U.S. regime, is censoring-out ALL presentations of the banned-by-them evidences on this matter, that “Obama was, at that time, in early July 2014, desperate for there to be a pretext on which the European Union would join the U.S. in greatly hiking sanctions against Russia regarding Ukraine. What the most-recent information will show is this: Obama and his NATO were intending to use this false accusation against Russia as a pretext not only to hike anti-Russia sanctions but ultimately to invade both Donetsk and Crimea.” (Obama finally decided not to invade.) Even earlier, on 27 February 2015, I had headlined “The Entire Case for Sanctions Against Russia Is Pure Lies”; and, even then, the evidences regarding the MH17 shoot-down were already overwhelming:

 

Regarding the shoot-down of the MH17 Malaysian airliner (the pretext for Obama’s getting the EU to support increased anti-Russian sanctions): the U.S.-Ukrainian account of the downing is that pro-Russian rebels shot it down by mistake, with a missile. For this, Obama blamed Russia, and his agents who run European governments and the EU went along with that and hiked their economic sanctions against Russia; but, nobody in power believed it, because the postulated scenario is absurd to anyone who knows anything. However, even if that scenario had been true, yet still, Obama definitely caused the Malaysian airliner to be downed. Furthermore, the reason why the official ‘investigation’ into the downing is not being made public is that Obama’s own Ukrainian Government was given veto-power over everything that will be in it, and they won’t allow the additional evidence, above and beyond the already dispositive evidence that has been revealed but not publicized, to be included in it; so, the report is not issued. The Ukrainian Government weren’t able to prevent the decisive proof that their own Air Force plane had intentionally shot it down from leaking out; but the Western press have cooperated with Obama to suppress that information. More information keeps leaking out supporting that earlier proof; but, actually, additional proof isn’t even needed. Publication of the existing damning evidence is. However, no one will be able to suppress the ‘findings’ by the official ‘investigation.’ So: it doesn’t yet exist, and maybe it never will.

 

As regards “Russia’s so-called referendums on the annexation of Crimea and later of the Donbas region — which were not recognised by the international community,” I headlined on 23 March 2017 “Are U.S. Economic Sanctions Against Russia Based on an Obama Lie?” and presented multiple evidences that the answer to that is yes. And on 20 February 2015, I had headlined “Crimea: Was It Seized by Russia, or Did Russia Block Its Seizure by the U.S.?”, and presented (and linked to) the findings from U.S.-Government-sponsored polls in Crimea taken both before the coup and after the referendum there, and that what both showed was that over 90% of Crimeans wanted Crimea again to be a part of Russia as it had been before 1954, and that 96% of them after the referendum who had an opinion on its result said that they believed that the published result honestly represented the public’s preferences there.

In short: the U.S. and its colonies (‘allies’), and their ‘news’-media, lie when reporting about Russia and about Ukraine. The billionaires who control firms such as Lockheed Martin, that profit from wars, control also the ‘news’-media. And this is the reason why the Hitlerite lie that drove U.S.-and-‘allied’ ‘news’-reporting throughout 2025 was that the aggressor in the war in Ukraine is Russia, instead of the truth, that it is America, and that Russia is doing what it must do in order to protect its national security against that aggressor and its slave-states or ‘allies’.

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s latest book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.

Conscription, pensions and AfD on Germany's 2026 agenda
 BY Jens Thurau

Pensions, migration and conscription will continue to dominate domestic politics in Germany this year. Above all, the focus will be on how the far-right AfD fares in upcoming state elections in the former East Germany.

 

The German government, a coalition of the conservative Christian Democrats (CDU); its Bavarian sister party, the Christian Social Union (CSU); and the center-left Social Democrats (SPD), will have to deal with difficult domestic policy issues in 2026.

After grueling debates, the government passed its reform package for the state pension system through the Bundestag in December. The pension level is to remain stable until 2031, a commission will develop fundamental reforms to the system and submit proposals by mid-2026.

Financial security in old age, in a society where people are living longer and the number of elderly people is rising, will remain a key concern for the country and its government.

In the 2026 budget, the government subsidy to compensate for pension losses amounts to a hefty €128 billion ($150 billion) — around a quarter of the total budget. The pension commission is under pressure to develop truly practical proposals on an extremely complex issue.

Raising the retirement age from 67 is on the cards. But some, like economics professor Jens Südekum, suggest doing away with a fixed retirement age for everyone. Südekum has said the size of the pension a person receives should depend solely on the number of years they have worked and paid into the system.

In December, Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) said the idea was "certainly worth considering," adding, "I want us to implement a comprehensive reform."

 

A new form of military service

At the beginning of 2026, young people in Germany aged 18 and over will receive mail from the government. Men must then complete the enclosed questionnaire, while women can do so voluntarily.

The questions will focus on personal details, educational qualifications and other competences, as well as willingness to perform military service. Participation in a medical examination to assess their overall health and fitness will be mandatory.

The government is counting on finding enough volunteers to increase the number of Bundeswehr soldiers from approximately 184,000 now to between 255,000 and 270,000 over the next decade, and to increase the number of reservists to 200,000.

If all this does not work on a voluntary basis, the government will move to reinstate conscription, which has been suspended since 2011.

Far-right AfD poised for regional election victories

The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), a party with extremist elements, is already the strongest opposition party in the Bundestag. With several regional elections scheduled for 2026, it's expected to do well. In the eastern German states of Saxony-Anhalt and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the AfD is currently polling around 40%.

Will the democratic centrist parties be able to take on the far right? And if the AfD becomes the strongest party by a wide margin in both states, will the promise made by the conservative CDU to never cooperate with the AfD hold true?

Both elections are not until September, but they will dominate the debates about how to deal with the AfD until then. State elections in the western states in Baden-Württemberg and Rhineland-Palatinate will kick off an exciting election year in March.

Immigration and border controls

The issue of migration will continue to be high on the agenda in 2026. Since the current government took office in May 2025, Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt (CSU) has made it clear that Germany is now pursuing a tough policy toward irregular immigrants with more people being turned back at the border.

In mid-December, the interior ministers of the European Union also agreed on a significant tightening of the common asylum policy. So-called "return centers" are now planned again in countries outside the European Union, even though previous attempts, such as the one by the Italian government in Albania, have not been successful. 

With the common asylum policy, "...we will also manage to shift border controls to the European external borders," said Chancellor Merz in early December. This would spell the end of the time-consuming checks at all of Germany's external borders in 2026. Whether this will actually happen remains to be seen. The initiative of the EU interior ministers still needs approval by the European Parliament.

 Climate policy challenges

In December, the EU laid out its latest climate targets: Greenhouse gas emissions are to be reduced by 90% by 2040 compared with 1990 levels, as the European Union aims to be climate neutral by 2050.

German Environment Minister Carsten Schneider (SPD) was delighted. "The new EU climate target is probably the most important climate policy decision of this legislative period," he said on December 10.

In March, Schneider plans to present a new climate protection plan and explain how Germany can contribute to achieving its target. However, Economy Minister Katherina Reiche of the CDU is focusing on gas-fired power plants and has shown less interest in expanding wind and solar power.

Martin Kaiser, climate expert at the environmental group Greenpeace, told DW that "unlike under the previous coalition government, the dramatic shortcomings in the transport and housing sectors must be countered with adequate and socially acceptable immediate measures. A fossil fuel rollback in industrial and energy policy, as planned by Reiche, must not be allowed."
