No One Really Knows Where the Ukraine Money Is Going

December 13, 2022 By The Editors

Whether or not you support the involvement of NATO/USA in the war in Ukraine, one thing is certain, no one really knows where all the money American taxpayers are sending to Ukraine is going. On his blog, Mercola.com, Dr. Joseph Mercola discusses the lack of accountability for the billions of dollars America is sending to what has long been one of the world’s most corrupt countries. He writes:


As we know, “the U.S. lies for a living,”1 says Jeffrey Sachs, the former director of The Earth Institute at Columbia.2 Sachs is also an adviser to the United Nations and a professor of economics who’s been involved in diplomacy in more than 100 countries for decades.3 He made this comment to Russell Brand, an English comedian and actor, in their interview above, which covers media lies, including about the Ukraine War.

“The mainstream media do nothing about [the lies],” Sachs continued, “just amplifies them. And it’s getting pretty dangerous. That’s the real problem. It’s a very dangerous time right now because we seem not to be able to have an adult conversation about almost anything, in the mainstream.”4

Over the past several months, the U.S. has poured billions of tax dollars into Ukraine, ostensibly to help Ukraine fight for freedom and preserve democracy. This despite the fact that Ukraine has long been deemed one of the most corrupt countries in the world, and no one knows where all this money is actually going.

America’s meddling in the Ukraine conflict also reveals that it is not willing to relinquish its imperialistic tendencies. But extreme censorship has silenced any open discussion that goes against the official narrative on the war in Ukraine.

Extreme Censorship Is Shaping Reality

Sachs tells Brand that when he grew up, newspapers enjoyed dissing on political figures. But now, “these papers don’t do anything but repeat the lies. And it’s extremely strange to me.”5 Due to his experience, Sachs knows a lot of reporters, and they actually tell him that they’re unable to report freely:6

“They tell me privately, ‘Yeah, what you’re saying is right, but our editor is not so interested in it’ … Corporate ownership, yes, it’s definitely part of it. But the complete collapse of professionalism in journalism in these mainstream media — not everywhere, because there are some really brave people out there — but in, what we call the mainstream, it’s pathetic and very dangerous.”

Even as the war grows increasingly dangerous, there is no open discussion — only a one-sided dictate that’s spread over the airwaves. Sachs explained:7

“We’re deep into a war that is escalating and we can’t even have a decent discussion about what the sources of this war are and how to end it. I’ve had the experience. I wrote for one project syndicate for 20 years. I was their most-published writer. But they wouldn’t print the pieces that I wrote that were contrary to the official line about this war. It was pretty amazing to me after 20 years. I couldn’t post a piece. And that’s not good, in my view.”

What does this level of censorship and control suggest? The clues can be found in our heavily militarized government, which is the overarching theme across party lines:8

“I’ve been involved with dozens of governments across the world for 40 years now. Basically, the neocons took over U.S. foreign policy 30 years ago. And it hasn’t really mattered whether it’s democrats or republicans … the mainstream of our political system in both parties is militarized, and our foreign policy is largely based on secrecy. So we don’t even see what our government is doing.

Nothing is explained, nothing is debated anymore, and that’s been true for a long time. It’s been true across the administration, so it’s not a partisan thing.”
