US Congress ‘happy to be lied to’ in service of American imperialism – analyst

Journalists Dan Lazare and Robert Fantina joined Sputnik’s The Critical Hour program to discuss a report by ProPublica that suggested US Secretary of State Antony Blinken willfully misled Congress to keep US military aid flowing to Israel.

“This is business as usual,” said Fantina. “The United States doesn't respect international law and doesn't respect its own laws if those laws somehow get in the way of its quest for power and profits… So, the fact that Blinken is lying should really surprise no one. Other international organizations that aren't affiliated with any nation have said repeatedly for months that Israel is blocking humanitarian aid. And yet the United States denies this, or at least Blinken did.”


The human rights organization Amnesty International affirmed Israel was stemming the flow of humanitarian assistance earlier this year, characterizing Tel Aviv’s actions as a “tightening” of its “16-year-long suffocating blockade” of Gaza. Analysis by the investigative reporting nonprofit ProPublica revealed that Blinken defied the findings of multiple government bodies that concluded Israel was deliberately blocking humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.

Blinken ignored the advice of multiple officials with the State Department and US Agency for International Development (USAID), testifying before lawmakers that Tel Aviv was not interfering with the flow of aid. US law forbids the provision of military equipment to any country obstructing American humanitarian assistance.

“If you're acting on behalf of the [US] government or any kind of imperialism, you are free to lie to Congress at will,” posited host Garland Nixon.


“Congress does not mind being lied to if it thinks it benefits the empire,” Lazare agreed.

‘The way Brussels is behaving is a serious breach of our security’ - Hungarian FM

The European Union is seriously violating Hungary’s sovereignty by compelling them to let migrants into the country, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto told RIA Novosti on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly session.

“The way Brussels is behaving now is a serious breach of our security and sovereignty, because they want us to let in people whom we don’t want to let in. We don’t need people who attack our police. We don’t need people in our country who attack our border guards, who cannot comply with our regulations, and who show no respect for our people, our way of life, or our laws,” Szijjarto said.


The ability for a country to protect its own borders and decide who is granted entry is a matter of sovereignty that no organization has the right to take away, Szijjarto emphasized.

Earlier this year, the EU’s top court fined Hungary 200 million euros ($216 million) and imposed a daily one-million-euro penalty for "failing to follow the bloc’s asylum laws". Hungarian PM Viktor Orban described the court’s decision as “outrageous and unacceptable”.

Key statements by the Chairman of the Russian State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin:

💬The US and Biden personally are behind the explosion of the Nord Streams 
 
💬Initiators and perpetrators of sabotage on the Nord Streams must be held accountable. There is no statute of limitations here.
 
💬It was not Washington that answered for the terrorist attack on the Nord Streams, but the residents of Germany, whose pockets were dipped into by Biden and Scholz.
 
💬It was advantageous for Biden to deprive Western Europe of cheap Russian gas by forcing it to buy from the United States at exorbitant prices.
 
💬Biden and Scholz lost the trust of the population in their countries due to the terrorist attack on the Nord Streams.

‘Germany suffered the most’ — Volodin on the Nord Stream sabotage

“[German] economy fell into recession, GDP declined, the production model broke, industrial production decreased, and the number of bankruptcies in the country became a record over the past decade. Gas costs the citizens of Germany 84% more today than before,” Chairman of the Russian State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin said.

The US, the EU, Saudi Arabia and the UAE have called for an immediate 21-day ceasefire across the Israel-Lebanon border to allow the warring parties to negotiate towards a potential diplomatic resolution of the conflict, which shows no sign of ceasing. 

In other developments: 

🔶Israel and Lebanon are reportedly expected to decide “within hours” whether to support the joint truce call.

🔶At the same time, the adviser for Netanyahu's office, Dmitri Gendelman, said that Tel Aviv is not holding talks on de-escalation on the border with Lebanon.
 
🔶Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has left Israel for a UN General Assembly session in New York. Foreign Minister Israel Katz is officially Netanyahu’s stand-in during the trip and has the power to convene the security cabinet.

🔶The Israel Defense Forces say they have opened fire after identifying “suspicious movements in the area of the Lebanese border.” 

🔶Israel’s military is calling up two reserve brigades “for operational missions in the northern sector.”

🔶At least 70 people have been killed and 400 more injured as a result of Israeli air strikes in Lebanon over the past 24 hours, the Lebanese Health Ministry said. The death toll from the Israeli attacks currently stands at 630.

Key statements by the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service concerning the Nord Streams explosions: 

💬Since 2022, the US and the UK have been systematically trying to remove the topic of sabotage on the Nord Streams from the international information bulletin.

💬In addition, there is information that before the second anniversary of the terrorist attack, Washington and London decided to implement a disinformation campaign to cover up the true purpose of the sabotage and its organizers.

💬It is for this reason that the Western media conduct an information campaign, pinning the execution of attacks exclusively on Ukrainian extremists.

💬New information confirming the involvement of the Anglo-Saxons in the explosions of the Nord Streams is emerging.

💬Intelligence information clearly indicates that the attacks on the Nord Streams were an act of economic war of the Anglo-Saxons against Europe, primarily Germany, the Russian Intelligence Service said. 

💬The Anglo-Saxons set Germany the task of completing the investigation of the Nord Streams by the end of the year, to write off the sabotage as a terrorist attack by Ukrainian adventurers, the agency added.
