Putin selects Steven Seagal as specialist Kremlin diplomat to US

Putin has announced he hoped Seagal’s appointment would serve as a symbol of improving relations between Moscow and Washington.

The 66-year-old Under Siege star has been a Russian citizen since 2016, with the president personally gifting the star his new dual citizenship passport at a ceremony in Moscow.

The two men are said to have bonded over a a mutual love of martial arts, and displeasure at the way in which Russia is portrayed in the West.

According to The Washington Post, Seagal once described Putin as “one of the greatest world leaders if not the greatest world leader alive today”.

In an interview on Good Morning Britain last September, the actor, who also supported Donald Trump’s successful bid for the White House, defended the two presidents against claims they had colluded.

“For anyone to think Vladimir Putin had anything to do with fixing the elections, or even that the Russians have that kind of technology, is stupid,” the Today You Die leading man said.

He called the notion of Russian interference “propaganda” and a “diversion” to the American people.

The actor, who has previously claimed to have worked for the CIA fighting the Yakuza, and who believes he’s a reincarnated 17th-century Tibetan monk, will not be paid for the Russian role.

The Foreign ministry described it as “folk diplomacy meets diplomacy traditional”.

Kremlin-backed Russian television station RT, reported Seagal as saying: “I’ve always had a very strong desire to do all I can to help improve Russian-American relations. I have worked tirelessly in this direction for many years unofficially and I am now very grateful for the opportunity to do the same thing officially.”

The Belly of the Beast star was last year banned from entering Ukraine after voicing support for the annexation of Crimea."

Rob Larson - Capitalism Vs Freedom: The Toll Road to Serfdom

LegaliseFreedom1

Rob Larson discusses his book 'Capitalism Vs. Freedom – The Toll Road to Serfdom'. For years, we’ve been taught that capitalism is good for freedom. Dominant right-wing commentators claim that markets free us, and this view still dominates education and politics. However, in 'Capitalism vs. Freedom', Larson puts big business under a microscope, debunking libertarian economics while demonstrating that the marketplace has its own great centres of power, which the libertarian tradition itself claims is a limit to freedom. Larson illustrates how capitalism fails both this and other concepts of human liberty, not just failing to establish a right to a share of society’s production, but also leaving us subject to the power plays of political and corporate elites which are increasingly becoming one and the same.

That global economic, political, social, and environmental systems are disintegrating is scarcely in doubt. Inequality is on the rise as resources are concentrated in fewer and fewer hands. Even in the West, children now born can expect to be poorer than their parents. The era of ever-increasing prosperity is coming to an end. Conventional energy sources are running out while renewables fail to plug the gap. Climate change is making vast swathes of the Earth – such as the Middle East – increasingly uninhabitable for millions who have two choices – move somewhere else or die. Mass migration continues to drive social conflict. Fundamentalism is resurgent. Donald Trump and Brexit are just two of the most obvious signs of cascading collapse. The kaleidoscope has been shaken, the pieces are in flux, a new world is coming. The question simply remains – what, if anything, can we do about it?
