April 25—On April 25, 1945, the Soviet and U.S. armies linked up on the Elbe River, marking the success of the allied effort to defeat fascism. In April 1955, The Spirit of the Elbe memorial was unveiled at the Arlington National Cemetery near Washington, D.C., and every year since then, the occasion has been celebrated as a symbol of cooperation between the two nations to achieve victory in a just cause.

Not this year. Russia’s Ambassador to the U.S. Anatoly Antonov reported yesterday that this year’s ceremony at the memorial had to be cancelled. “Sadly, this year we have been denied permission to hold such events. Formally, the decision was made by the Arlington Cemetery, but we have been told quite clearly that they followed instructions from the Department of State. We are well aware of the reasons in the light of the Russophobia that has been unfolded in the United States,” he reported.

Tragedy Need Not Be Destiny

June 22, 2025 (EIRNS)—With the initiation by the United States of war on Iran this weekend, the final military objective of the 2001 “seven countries in five years” plan revealed on March 2, 2007 by Gen. Wesley Clark in an interview with Amy Goodman, the War Party is on the move once again. Journalist Glenn Greenwald pointed out yesterday that “Iran just became the eighth Muslim-majority country that the U.S. has bombed in the last 15 years, from Obama to Trump to Biden to Trump.” The list comprises Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Somalia, Pakistan, Yemen, and now Iran.

TLO Mass Leaflet: Will There Be Thermonuclear Fireworks by the Fourth of July?

Your life, in as little as a few days or weeks, could end in an “accidental thermonuclear war,” triggered by the dropping of a tactical nuclear device on Iran, either by a renegade Israel, or by the United States, or by Israel with the agreement of the United States. What happens next, will be determined by the reports regarding the successful, or unsuccessful, destruction of the sites.
