Europe’s energy crisis and Russia’s readiness to alleviate vividly demonstrates a fundamental win-win partnership.

Тhe UK/US deep state talking points about Syria are familiar. The President is a “tyrant”, the state is “authoritarian”, “political prisoners” abound and the nation is a “police state”. These reductionist labels stick. They stick because regime change-pushing media outlets repeat them ad nauseam until they are absorbed into our psyche as truths. “The interventionist […]

What’s happening is that foreign forces aim to instrumentalize this issue so as to manufacture doubts among the international community about Ethiopia’s commitment to ensuring food security for its people, especially those in Tigray.

Only one in seven respondents in a recent US Army survey said they’d be ready to deploy and fight immediately, with generals far more confident of readiness than warrant officers.

Per Bylund via The Mises Institute. The state strives for power, and what grants power is fear and dependence.

The accession of Ukraine to NATO is a “worst-case scenario” that would cross a “red line” for Moscow’s interests and, if Kiev were accepted as a member, Russia would be forced to take measures to protect its national security. That’s according to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, who told Parisian TV channel France 5 about the […]
It’s hardly a secret that we were happier consumers before the big boys in America propped up the most mediocre of emerging video channels.

President Putin wrote in an article on Russian-Ukraine relations over the summer that his country’s neighbor was under “direct external control”, which was echoed by former leader and incumbent Deputy Chairman of the Security Council Medvedev earlier this week.

It’s “the ability to disregard fear.” That’s how the Oxford Dictionary defines courage. There are many things of which we’re fearful, and whether or not we face most of them is unimportant. Disregarding a fear of spiders to kill one doesn’t constitute courage. The Oxford Dictionary places the definition in context by further stating “the courage […]

Daniel R. Mandell’s The Lost Tradition of Economic Equality in America, 1600-1870 adds to the historical literature exploring American interventionism in the colonial and antebellum periods. Restrictions on prices, incomes, and ownership were not introduced as wartime measures or invented during the New Deal. Instead, as Mandell explains, they have been with us since the […]
Only the most self-interested and irresponsible forces would want to replicate the Syrian scenario anywhere else in the world, let alone in Africa’s second most populous country that’s among one of the most diverse on the planet, which is why Ethiopia’s resistance to these American-led destabilization efforts is so inspirational for Africans and others. The […]

By Jacob Hornberger via The Mises Institute.

Jordan is reopening its border crossing with Syria and resuming flights to Damascus. In Syria, more armed groups are laying down their weapons.

The withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan in August 2021 demonstrated to the international community that Washington’s sphere of influence is shrinking and that the US army is not as all-powerful as it pretends to be.

New Hampshire, like many other states, is deeply penetrated by military culture, funding, and institutions. Yet its presence is hardly visible to many people.

The far-left New York Times is continuing in its attempts to effectively erase accurate American history following its controversial 1619 Project, advancing a handful of redesigns of the American flag.

In some ways, we sympathize with Neel Kashkari’s fake “concern” about the unprecedented wealth inequality that has emerged in the US in recent years and which has resulted in a slow, methodical and relentless destruction of the US middle class … or rather make that precedented because there was another time when the top 0.1% had amassed as […]
The Toxic Policy Twins This October 20 headline in the New York Times is worth a ponder: “Where Are the Workers? How can so many Americans afford not to work? And will it last?” Good questions! As we all can see, the economy is running short of workers in high-visibility sectors, and it’s an open question as to whether this shortage is a […]
A large-scale military exercise carried out by member countries of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) has concluded in Tajikistan.

For Iran to turn to the EU, once again, as a main partner in negotiating a future deal with the West, we should not expect too much any time soon.

Alasdair Crooke via The Strategic Culture Foundation. Does Europe possess the energy and the humility to look itself in the mirror, and re-position itself diplomatically?

Another serious warning sign of Washington’s interest in expanding its campaign of global interference was sounded during a hearing in front of the US Congress featuring Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen.

The world is a mess, and conservative politicians talk about increasing “defense spending.” This has obvious appeal. After all, who can be against defending the country? The problem is that most of America’s military outlays have nothing to do with defense. From 1789 to 1947, the U.S. had a Department of War. So when Washington […]
Much to President Biden’s relief, the US-led effort to reform the international corporate tax code appears to be moving along even more quickly than some critics had anticipated, although there’s still room for the deal to fail. After Ireland told the FT yesterday that it had signed on to the OECD tax plan by agreeing […]
The brazen daytime murder of 69-year-old Tory MP David Amess yesterday in Essex has brought worldwide attention to the epidemic of black knife crime.

US-backed activists and regime-change operatives convened the Uyghur Tribunal to ramp up conflict with China, but wound up exposing major inconsistencies in their narrative.

CNN political analyst Carl Bernstein said Friday on CNN’s “New Day” that former President Donald Trump helped transform the Republican Party into a “secessionist movement” causing a “civil war.” Bernstein said, “Democracy is in peril because the Republican Party has become the party of Trumpism and the party of disenfranchisement.

If you really, really miss Donald Trump, MSNBC may just be for you!

But the establishment media can’t stop talking about TRUMP. So for […]
The U.S. wars lost in Iraq and Afghanistan showed imperial overreach beyond what even 20 years of war could manage. That the defeats were drawn out for so many years shows that domestic politics and the funding of the domestic military-industrial complex were, more than geopolitics, the key drivers of these wars. Empires can die […]
Via International Man. The toxic effects of the Fed’s relentless interest rate repression are many, but among the worst has been the absolute savaging of bank depositors. Interest rates on 12-month CDs (under $100,000) dropped below the inflation rate in October 2009 and have been pinned there ever since. There is no other word for this […]
Simply denouncing them but declining to take any tangible action would have made President Erdogan look weak in everyone’s eyes unless they recanted their joint statement and apologized.

Britain’s competition watchdog fined Facebook 50.5 million pounds ($69.4 million) on Wednesday for violating rules during the U.K. investigation into the social media giant’s purchase of Giphy.

By Thierry Meyssan In the global imagination, Facebook would be a responsible social network that allows everyone to connect confidentially while censoring messages contrary to local laws.
