2025 – A Year of Lies & War.

Tübingen, Germany, Dec. 31, 2025. By S.G. Kazolias.

2025 was a very bad year. 2026 doesn’t promise to be much better. There are signs of hope, but it may be too little, too late.

How Europeans see the USA’s march to Authoritarianism

Every now and then I have to put my rage on paper, or in this case on my blog. I know it doesn’t make a difference. Those who want to see have already looked up. There is nothing you can do about stupid, except stop him.

It is always like walking on eggs to express opinions which go against the Lobbies and powers-that-be in the EU. The march to repress freedom of speech and of thought, especially in denouncing genocide and war-mongering, has gone much further and much faster than I thought possible.

Zionists Kill not only Palestinians.

By S.G. Kazolias, Paris.

Zionism is the greatest threat to our freedom of speech and assembly in the West today. Zionism is also the number one vector and promoter of antisemitism on which it thrives.

Zionism is not only threatening world peace and social cohesion. It is also tearing families and friends apart. It has overwhelming control and influence over the media. Its promoters, as mainstream pundits, have confused many well-meaning people, leading to ruptures in family and friendship relations.

Russia-Elections: Why Putin?

Western criticism of Russia’s presidential election is false-hearted at best. But coming from the United States with its recent history of election fiascos it is astounding. There are very good reasons why Russians would want Putin, even if they did have a ‘Western’ style electoral rodeo.

Americans are given the illusion of choice with a Pepsi-Cola/Coca-Cola two-party circus where the AIPAC financed politicians (The Grayzone here and Al Jazeera here) agree on everything except who should run the show in America’s imperial interests. What doesn’t change is the 1% in whose interests the 9% of the cream work.

It appears harder for a third-party candidate to get into a US presidential election debate than it does in Russia. Only Ross Perot in 1994 comes to mind. The Oligarchs and their scribes in the two major American parties get to pick and choose who gets into the televised debates.

Don’t Just Stand By & Watch.

A journalist who exposes Israel’s Apartheid regime is labeled an anti-semite. When he calls Israel’s intent “Genocide,” the reporter might as well change professions if he ever wants to work again. They will make sure your reputation is ruined.

I have not been creative since Biden lied to the world by saying he saw the photos of an event which never happened: the beheading of 40 Israeli babies in the daring and successful Palestinian military operation on October 7. This was the first of many Israeli lies to come to justify the unbearable.

French Bill Disparages Genocide Victims

Paris, April 4, 2023, by Socrates George Kazolias

On March 28, the French National Assembly enacted a law recognizing the 1931-1932 famine that hit the Soviet Union as a “Genocide” against the Ukrainians through a “planned famine” known as “Holodomor.”  The law means anybody who denies it was a genocide against the Ukrainians, or excuses it in any form, now faces up to one year in prison and €45,000 in fines.

Similar legislation had been voted on the genocides of the Jews by the Nazis in 1990 and of the Armenians by the Turks in 2001.

Qualifying the Soviet famine as a genocide against Ukraine is very problematic on several fronts and guts the word “Genocide” of its true meaning. Jewish Frenchmen and Armenian descendants who support the anti-negationism law, known as ‘Loi Gayssot,’ should be outraged. Or has the definition of “Genocide” changed? More on the famine below but first the law itself.

30-Years of Bad Journalism– the Un-credible Press

By Socrates George Kazolias–Paris, March 14, 2023:

The New York Times has used anonymous sources to discredit Seymour Hersh for using anonymous sources when he blamed the US for blowing up the Nord Stream pipelines. The question is who has a better track record: Hersh or the Gray Lady of WMD fame? (1) I have come under criticism for my previous article insisting that the press fulfill its role of filtering the spin, or even worse, I am accused of encouraging the censorship of those in power.

“If his lips are moving you know he is fibbing.”

Separating fact from fiction and sifting through the fluff to bring out the important, is the very definition of journalism. That journalists have lost their honor and professionalism may be true, but it is none-the-less their job. They are not paid to just hold an open microphone for spin-doctors.

Russo-Ukrainian War–When the Pot Calls the Kettle ‘Black’

Paris, January 17, 2023, by Socrates George Kazolias

This is an abstract from a long and on-going discussion I am having with an American friend on the ‘misconceptions’ of what is happening in Ukraine and on Putin and Russia. I am convinced Russia is on the right side of history here.

Alex Jones Verdict: Serious Attack on Free Speech

Socrates George Kazolias, Paris France: I know it is hard to accept but the $1 billion verdict against Alex Jones is a very serious attack on free speech. Yes, what he said in his Sandy Hook Massacre denial was untrue, hideous, and hurtful. But the First Amendment allows us to lie and hurt people’s feelings. What we are not allowed to do is slander and libel. (more on this below).

Freedom of Speech & Private Enterprise

Houston, April 11, 2022. This is a response to a dear and sincere friend who believes Twitter, being a private company, has the right to censor whoever it wants based on its own rules; rules which you are “forced” to agree to when you sign up. It is a follow-up to a debate we have been having since I quit Twitter after they banned me for a second time.

The first time based on the simple denunciation by someone who didn’t like what I wrote (although it was factual), and the second time because of a tongue-in-cheek comment which algorithms and bots don’t understand but people do.

Twitter-Censorship: Quit Twitter to Impose Free Speech!

Tübingen, Germany, January 6, 2022 by Kazolias.com:

Online platforms (Twitter, Facebook, & al.) with monopolies over the public arena are imposing censorship based on algorithms; machines are deciding what people can and cannot say. This must end!
