#USA - The American Oligarchy: How corrupt is US politics? | ENDEVR Documentary

2 March 2025

Democracy for Sale | ENDEVR Documentary Watch 'Who Rules America? ' here:    • Who Rules America? | Complete Series ...   In America, lobby groups, corporations, and billionaires invest millions of dollars to ensure that the ‘right’ candidate wins elections. It affects everything from the selection of local officials to presidential elections and creates countless conflicts of interest, undermining what used to be a model democracy. And it has a serious impact on people’s daily lives. Drug prices are the highest in the world. Tax rates for the wealthy have fallen. Climate change is being denied. The impunity and extent of this are staggering. For many, this is nothing less than “legal corruption”. Today, America “is just an oligarchy with unlimited political bribery”, said former president Jimmy Carter himself. Rules seem to have been designed to be bypassed; supposedly impartial judges are elected with the help of hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars. We follow candidates on the field during the electoral process and hear from people whose lives have been directly affected.

At the conclusion of the 2010 national census, congressional seats will be reapportioned to each state.  The states with a shrinking population will lose congressional seats and states with a population boom will gain seats.  A massive effort to redraw state legislative and congressional lines will take place according to each state’s laws. The party controlling that effort controls the drawing of the maps – shaping the political landscape for the next 10 years.  In 38 states, governors and state legislators play a determining role in the redistricting process.

#Russia #Putin - The Future of Putin and Russia: A Conversation and Performance: The 92nd Street Y, New York

5 March 2025

Russia’s war in Ukraine has resulted in staggering human and financial costs — over 600,000 Russian casualties according to Pentagon estimates, and war-related expenditures exceeding $211 billion as of early 2024. With economic losses projected to reach $1.3 trillion by 2026, and the Kremlin under intensifying scrutiny, the future of Vladimir Putin’s regime hangs in the balance. Will Putin retain his grip on power? Can the military sustain its support? What role can the West play, and what lies ahead for Ukraine and its NATO aspirations amid shifting US leadership? Join two of Putin’s most prominent critics for a compelling and timely discussion. Vladimir Kara-Murza, twice poisoned by Kremlin operatives and recently released from imprisonment in a landmark East-West prisoner exchange, brings firsthand insights into Putin’s inner workings. Sir Bill Browder, the CEO of Hermitage Capital Management and leader of the Global Magnitsky Justice Campaign, has been a relentless advocate for human rights and anti-corruption measures, earning him the distinction of being named Putin’s “#1 enemy” by the Russian president himself. Moderating the discussion is Richard Salomon, a Senior Fellow at the Raoul Wallenberg Centre and co-founder of the Illinois Holocaust Museum. The evening concludes with a powerful recital by acclaimed pianist Mikhail Voskresensky, who fled Russia with his family in 2022 in protest of the war. Voskresensky’s artistry will underscore the enduring spirit of resistance and hope.


Vladimir Vladimirovich Kara-Murza is a Russian-British political activist, journalist, author, filmmaker, and former political prisoner.

Sir William Felix Browder, KCMG (born 23 April 1964) is an American-born British financier and political activist. He is the CEO and co-founder of Hermitage ...

Mikhail Voskresensky is a Russian pianist and music pedagogue who left Russia for the United States in 2022 protesting against Russian invasion of Ukraine.

#Ukraine - Bully diplomacy: Is Trump forcing Ukraine into a peace deal with Russia? | DW News Desk

5 March 2025

With US support to Ukraine in question, can Europe fill the gap, and how long can Kyiv hold out? The Trump administration has paused military aid to Ukraine, ramping up pressure on President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to negotiate peace with Russia.

The move follows a tense Oval Office meeting where Trump and Vice President JD Vance scolded Zelenskyy for lacking gratitude after receiving $180 billion in US aid.

Trump insists Ukraine must show a “commitment” to ending the war before funding resumes. Critics see the freeze as political extortion that could embolden Russia. #newsdesk #DonaldTrump #Ukraine
