Two were injured in a rocket attack targeting Baghdad’s ‘Green Zone’ that houses the US embassy and Iraqi government Two civilians were injured during a rocket attack that targeted the US embassy inside Baghdad’s ‘Green Zone,’ the Iraqi military told reporters. At least four missiles were launched, and one reportedly struck a nearby school. Videos […]

Proved oil reserves in the country reportedly slipped by 8.4 billion barrels last year Proved oil reserves in the United States slipped 19% over the course of 2020, from 44.2 billion barrels to 35.8 billion barrels, according to fresh data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA). The new EIA data shows that throughout 2020, just three […]

On the surface, casual observers might be forgiven for thinking that Russia’s security guarantee requests do indeed amount to an undeclared sphere of influence that’s occurring at the expense of the Central & Eastern European countries’ sovereignty, but that’s actually not the case if one takes the time to think more deeply about it. The […]

“Political correctness is fascism pretending to be manners.” George Carlin Cancel culture—political correctness amped up on steroids, the self-righteousness of a narcissistic age, and a mass-marketed pseudo-morality that is little more than fascism disguised as tolerance—has shifted us into an Age of Intolerance, policed by techno-censors, social media bullies, and government watchdogs. Everything is now […]

Washington’s role in the world is diminishing. What comes next? Has American dominance across global foreign policy, finance, and military affairs been a source of stability or conflict? Some believe Washington’s status as the last great power has been a force for good. Others disagree. Maintaining its hegemony has demanded that Washington divide the world […]

The results are in from the world’s largest study of ivermectin for COVID-19. Researchers in Brazil found that regular use of ivermectin as a prophylactic agent was associated with significantly reduced COVID-19 infection, hospitalization and mortality rates. The study was conducted in Itajaí, a port city in the state of Santa Catarina, between July and December […]

A fresh report and analysis at the non-interventionist think tank, Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, traces the roots of today’s US-Russia deteriorated relations and showdown over Ukraine back to the Bill Clinton administration in the 1990’s. So much of current “debate” in public and media discourse is woefully lacking in even basic recent historical knowledge and context of […]

The Ukrainian-born MSNBC favorite Alexander Vindman, best known for his role in the Trump impeachment, has informed the network’s viewership that we are almost certainly on the cusp of a war with Russia comparable to World War II. “I think we’re basically just on the cusp of war,” the retired lieutenant colonel told MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace on Friday. […]

In 2020 the dominant faction of the faceless ruling class was leery about a second Trump term. This was principally due to his handling of trade relations with China and Europe, and the threat he posed to its own precarious position, if not to world peace. Trump was certainly a representative of the ruling class—along […]

The former president unloaded on Joe Biden at a packed rally in Arizona Former President Donald Trump held his first campaign-style rally of 2022 in Arizona, lashing out at President Joe Biden’s “destructive” economic policies, his vaccine mandates, and the alleged persecution of Trump’s supporters. Citing soaring inflation, rising gas prices, and shortages of food […]

Russia and China are two powerful countries, and their relations are essential for the entire world. Despite some hiccups and incidents between the two powers that took place in the second half of the 20th century, Russia and China have been engaged in close and fruitful cooperation in various fields, including defense, for several decades. […]

If it were possible to choose ethnic affiliation before being born, I think it would be wise to avoid being born into a small nation located right up against a big, proud empire: Tibet or Turkestan, Armenia in Ottoman days or Serbia when Austria was great. Nationalities like that are liable to have histories much unhappier than the average. That’s the context in which I think of Ukraine, For many […]

The Turkmenistan–Afghanistan–Pakistan–India (TAPI) natural gas pipeline has been long aborning, but its prospects recently got a shot in the arm. The 1100-mile, $10 billion project has seen numerous delays since the pipeline consortium was announced in late 2014, though the project was first mooted in 1991. Construction started in early 2018 with a projected in-service date of […]

Lack of certification demonstrates that Berlin can’t perform ordinary commercial activities, says Moscow The ongoing saga with the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline and its long wait for approval and certification shows that Germany has no freedom to pursue its own economic interests, Russia’s foreign minister has claimed. Speaking to the Russian First Channel on […]

  International Man: By now, most people have heard about the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) “Great Reset” agenda led by Klaus Schwab. The WEF sees the COVID pandemic as an opportunity to reshape the economic and social structures of the world. With the unpleasantness of 2020 and 2021 behind us, what do you think will […]

What is the reason for the increasing American and NATO military threats against  Russia?  NATO military exercises are conducted in countries bordering Russia, offensive arms are shipped to Ukraine which bombards  the neighboring Donets Basin breakaway republics that adjoin Russia, and  naval and air operations continue at the borders of Russia. The Atlanticists (America/NATO) are  […]

Pepe Escobar A specter haunts the collective West: total zombification, courtesy of an across-the-board 24/7 psy ops imprinting the inevitability of “Russian aggression”. Let’s pierce the fog of hysteria by asking Ukrainian Defense Minister Reznikov what’s going on: “I can absolutely say that to date, the Russian armed forces have not created a strike group […]

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) cleared a large portion of the U.S. commercial plane fleet for ultra-low visibility landing at half of the U.S. airports affected by the upcoming rollout of 5G. However, a top airline lobbying group warned the 5G rollout could unleash severe economic consequences for commercial and cargo airlines. An FAA statement, released […]

Andrew Torba, the CEO of alternative free speech platform Gab, sent an early morning message on Wednesday, detailing the increasing strength of his platform and decrying forced vaccination requirements that have left record numbers of Americans out-of-work. A record number of Americans “quit their jobs” this November, or that is to say they were either […]

After nearly seven years of conflict, the bloody war in Yemen, waged by Saudi Arabia at the instigation of the United States, now is threatening security and stability in important areas of the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf. For the first time, Abu Dhabi airport and the Adnoc oil refinery were the targets of […]

The two recent telephonic conversations between Presidents Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin over the simmering situation in Ukraine were, by all accounts, sedate. Contrary to the projected polemics, the occasion turned out to be an insipid proclamation by each leader, ending with an agreement on face-to-face talks. To those desirous of peace in the world […]

Last week, the Federal Reserve released a “discussion paper” examing the pros and cons of a potential US central bank digital dollar. According to the Federal Reserve press release, the central bank hopes to get public feedback on the idea. “We look forward to engaging with the public, elected representatives, and a broad range of stakeholders […]

Realistically, however, we must assume that even if, according to long-term forecasts, we have already reached the peak of the trend, and the prices of factors influencing the increase in electricity prices will now decline until they stabilise in 2023 at a level similar to 2018 – it still does not change the fundamental paradigm […]

Brussels will not impose pre-emptive measures in attempt to stop invasion of Ukraine The EU’s most senior diplomat Josep Borrell has ruled out the introduction of “preventive sanctions” against Russia over the situation in Ukraine, clarifying that any measures would only be implemented in case of an actual attack. Borrell’s comments come as tensions on […]

New evidence shows Belgium turned a blind eye as its officials plotted the assassination of Burundian PM Prince Louis Rwagasore in 1961 Belgium has “overwhelming responsibility” for the killing of Prince Louis Rwagasore, the popular Burundian leader who sought to unite the country’s ethnic groups as it gained freedom from the colonial power, new evidence […]

Here’s “politics” in America now: come with mega-millions or don’t even bother to show up. Representational democracy–a.k.a. politics as a solution to social and economic problems–has passed away. It did not die a natural death. Politics developed a cancer very early in life (circa the early 1800s), caused by wealth outweighing public opinion. This cancer spread slowly […]

The Collective Security Treaty Organization has agreed to send a joint peacekeeping force to help contain violent unrest gripping Kazakhstan that has killed at least 12 policemen. President Joe Biden’s spokeswoman has denied that the US government is behind the violent protests that have rocked Kazakhstan this week, claiming that unnamed “Russians” have falsely accused […]

I’m now looking again at the polls of Biden’s popularity. They are shocking, even devastating. We are looking at nearly a 12-point split between approval and disapproval. I’m assuming that the reality is much worse, given that everyone knows what one is supposed to tell the pollsters. They are not looking for disapproval. They are […]

Ken Kutaragi said tech giants should focus on blending the real and virtual worlds instead PlayStation inventor Ken Kutaragi has dismissed the idea of the virtual ‘metaverse’ as the next big frontier in the tech industry, leveling particular criticism at the need for “annoying” headgear displays to transport consumers between the real world and cyber […]

  Defense One published an advocacy piece masquerading as an analysis on January 11 by Evelyn Farkas, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Russia, Ukraine and Eurasia and senior advisor to the Supreme Allied Commander Europe, NATO’s top military commander. She flouted the first credential in her article, brinkmanship and modesty rarely coexisting. The title […]

The politics and dynamics of today are a menacing echo of former times when Western powers engaged fascism to do their dirty geopolitical work, Finian Cunningham writes. Western powers are playing with fire by ignoring Russia’s urgent appeals for security guarantees in Europe. In a series of high-level meetings last week with Russian officials, the […]

In Kurt Vonnegut’s classic novel Cat’s Cradle, the deadpan realist from the Midwest–the 20th century’s Mark Twain–delivers an instructive review of the way in which Americans hold scientists in exceedingly high esteem—and the perils therein. One of his characters is scientist Felix Hoenikker. Hoenikker is a partial reflection of Robert Oppenheimer, who led the team that […]

This is a serious issue, perhaps the most serious of issues in Europe, but coming as it does immediately on the heels of Russia’s prior list of demands being resolutely rejected by the U.S. and NATO yesterday, the prospects of Washington and Brussels positively responding to this one either don’t appear good. See: Stoltenberg address and […]

How did Germany manage to exist for more than 70 years without a queer commissioner? Many may be forgiven for not having pondered this question, especially during a pandemic which has decimated the civil rights of a third of the population. Sven Lehmann, Member of the Green Party, has announced that he wants to make […]

Government’s CPI says the cost of shelter rose 4% in the past year but home prices and rents are up nearly 20% Shelter accounts for about a third of American household expenditure, and the cost of buying or renting shelter is up nearly 20% over the past year. Yet the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for […]

The opposition figure also insisted there is a need for friendly relations with Moscow France should work towards improving its ties with Russia by removing sanctions and pivoting away from American influence, a candidate in the country’s presidential race has declared, as tensions flare across eastern Europe. Speaking as part of an interview with the […]

This latest maximum pressure campaign against Mali prompted thousands of its citizens to throng the streets over the weekend in an unprecedented display of anti-imperialist activism aimed at showing the world that they won’t stand idly by as the West collectively punishes them. The Economic Community Of West African States (ECOWAS) recently imposed a land, air, and […]

The first hints of a Coronavirus policy sea change appear to be underway in Europe, as both Ireland and France look set to follow England in easing restrictions. Both France and Ireland look set to begin easing COVID restrictions, with officials in both countries outlining plans for an escape from lockdown rules in the wake […]

The COVID tyranny is on the retreat! The UK Office for National Statistics admits just 6,000 people died of Covid-19 in England and Wales between Feb 2020 and Dec 2021. This is less than the rate of those killed in car accidents. And for that the Government closed down the entire economy with catastrophic bankruptcies, […]

The Black Alliance for Peace (BAP) concludes that the full responsibility for the dangerous crisis unfolding in Ukraine has its genesis in the illegal policies of the U.S./EU/NATO “Axis of Domination” beginning in 2014. As the corporate press presents a one-sided presentation of event in Ukraine as part of a massive propaganda effort to mobilize […]

Enough is enough. It is time to stop wearing masks, or at the very least to eliminate mask mandates in all settings. This is especially urgent for children in schools and universities, who suffer the effects of masks for long hours each day despite being at exceedingly low risk for death or serious illness from covid. We have […]

Waqar K. Kauravi Adeela Naureen Umar Waqar Our syndicate had done a paper in 2014 with the title ‘Tectonic shift along the Dnieper River’, which had projected some scenarios arising out of the situation in Ukraine at the time; some of the projections of the article have proven to be quite close to the current […]

University of London professor Angus Dalgleish, who co-authored a paper in summer 2020 after spotting “unique fingerprints” in Covid-19 samples that point to genetic manipulation, says that he’s been the victim of a “disgusting whitewash,” and that anyone suggesting a non-natural origin for Covid-19 has been silenced by peers. “This goes back to the days […]

While the immediate implications of Guantanamo with regard to the U.S. violations at the base are of paramount importance, the focus on this relic of the U.S. war on terror must not be dissociated from Guantanamo’s earlier history. Since the aftermath of September 11, 2001, the U.S. has used its base at Guantanamo, Cuba, to […]

Five-time Emmy award-winning journalist Sharyl Attkisson said she has seen an increased effort to manipulate the public to appreciate censorship and disapprove of journalism. One of the strategies that has been employed is the use of third-party fact-checkers, she said. “Nearly every mode of information has been co-opted, if it can be co-opted by some […]

The EU’s dependence on a Washington in decline is looking increasingly precarious The president of France, Emmanuel Macron, has started off his country’s presidency of the EU with a bold provocation. Speaking to the European Parliament in Strasbourg he has put his head above the growing anti-Moscow rhetoric and called for a dialogue about a […]

The following article entitled: US promises ‘robust response’ to Russia if it invades Ukraine – White House NATO will work to put Moscow in a “weaker strategic position,” senior official warns, confirms that that the CIA rules America. If Russia invades Ukraine, the US will move strongly to damage Moscow’s strategic position and employ measures that take aim at […]

This isn’t wishful thinking speculation either but premised on recent reports about what Iran’s Minister of Petroleum Javad Owji expected to discuss with his Russian counterpart Nikolay Shulginov on Tuesday in Moscow the day before President Ebrahim Raisi’s trip there. The Pakistan Stream Gas Pipeline (PSGP) that serves as Russia’s flagship investment in this South Asian state […]

Our host on numerous occasions makes a strong case in labeling today’s zeitgeist as “The Age of Rage”. It would certainly seem to be so if one focuses on what stereotypically comes out of the news media and political figures we lend our ears to. Yet I would go a step further and suggest the […]

  An NHS doctor told Health Secretary Sajid Javid on Friday that he’s not happy with the government’s Covid-19 vaccination mandate for health workers that is due to take effect in April. The vaccination mandate has already come into effect for care home staff, volunteers, and visitors from Nov. 11. Parliament approved the mandate for […]

Instead of offering to mediate between the Russian and Ukrainian leaders, ‘Israel’ and Turkey would do well to gently nudge Kiev in the direction of fulfilling its international obligations. Turkish President Erdogan earlier this week repeated his prior offer to mediate between Russia and Ukraine, which prompted Moscow to once again politely decline his proposal but encourage Ankara to […]

Belgium has been criticised for its radical euthanasia law during a meeting of the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHCR) in Geneva, Switzerland. The UNHCR is undergoing a “Universal Periodic Review”, in which member states’ human rights records are scrutinised and they may be called to consider reforms. Several states urged Belgium’s government to improve […]

For any person with a minimum of political awareness, it has become clear that our expression and thoughts, even our very existence today is caught in an inextricable net of prohibitions that ends up being an attack on life itself, and, in fine, on the inner life. The destruction of the inner life, as the French […]

  The recent developments in Kazakhstan and the role of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) in assisting that country’s authorities in establishing order and security have particularly brought into sharp focus the importance of this regional interstate organization. The CSTO was established in 2002 on the basis of the Collective Security Treaty of May […]

  Cervantes famous classic novel Don Quixote can in simple terms be described as a fight for liberty and freedom against oppression and against the state. This book is from 1605 and considered to be one of the best books ever written. In the midst of market madness, risk doesn’t exist because lunatics neither see, […]

The comedian, an outspoken skeptic of vaccination, shared his thoughts on Russia’s flagship jab Popular American podcaster Joe Rogan, who has stirred controversy with his criticism of Covid-19 vaccines and advocacy of alternative treatments, was asked for his opinion on Russia’s Sputnik V jab in an interview this week. In an appearance on comedian Tim […]

Repeat child sex offenders in Russia could be sent to hard labor penal colonies in the Arctic, where they would be forced to work in Siberian mines, according a plan floated by Parliamentary Speaker, Vyacheslav Volodin. The new legislation was presented after the horrific murder of a five-year-old girl, who was abducted by a serial […]

A recent Washington Post/University of Maryland poll found that 34 percent of Americans think violent action against the government can be justifiable. This view is held by 40 percent of Republicans and 23 percent of Democrats. The result may seem surprising since leftists have been responsible for much of the recent politically-motivated violence, and many […]

Have yall learned absolutely nothing? The U.S. government’s internal memos said that the only way to get Iraq to use its weapons if it even had any would be to attack it. The U.S. government’s public statements were that Iraq certainly had weapons and therefore must be attacked. The U.S. government itself had every single […]

A Review of The Plot to Kill King by William Pepper We bring to your attention this important article by Edward Curtin first published on Global Research in January 2017. ** Very few Americans are aware of the truth behind the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Few books have been written about it, unlike […]

How warmongers are trying to influence the outcome of talks between Russia and NATO. While US State Department officials look for possible compromises with Moscow on European security (an issue that really is difficult for them since they need to save face), the Russophobe lobby from various institutions are actively calling for a tough stance. […]

There has been a marked shift in the balance of power in the world as the US has recently intensified its attempts to regain world domination, including through sanctions against countries trying to demonstrate their independence from Washington. And in this respect, Beijing’s attempt to create a multipolar world based on an alliance with countries […]

As the west continues to slide inexorably towards a dystopian economic and societal abyss, its people still fail to recognise the true enemy, Eamon McKinney writes. The concept of Oligarchy is not new, it dates back to the days of Aristotle and before. Rule by a wealthy rich and powerful minority goes back to the […]

The word “encirclement” does not appear in the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), signed into law by President Joe Biden on December 27th, or in other recent administration statements about its foreign and military policies. Nor does that classic Cold War era term “containment” ever come up. Still, America’s top leaders have reached a consensus on […]

The German government is seriously “concerned” over the sheer number of protests against COVID restrictions in recent weeks, which are the most widespread in the country’s history. Influential German broadsheet Die Welt reveals that on the same day, protests took place in over 1,000 locations across the country. “The government is concerned about the decentralized actions,” reports the […]

According to Western so-called ‘experts’, China ‘dominates’ this relationship and Russia is the ‘junior partner’. This false narrative is pushed for purely self-interested reasons related to meddling in their unbreakable partnership. US Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland, better known for her infamous role in encouraging Ukraine’s 2013-2014 EuroMaidan Color Revolution, made […]

The military then dismissed reports of the bombing as “crazy” and preemptively blamed ISIS In 2017, the US bombed a piece of strategic infrastructure in Syria, the Tabqa Dam on the Euphrates River, despite it being on a no-strike list, the New York Times reported. A B-52 bomber dropped some of the heaviest weapons in […]

Amid surging tensions over Ukraine, the head of Germany’s navy had the courage to voice Europe’s fears over this totally unnecessary, contrived crisis. In a speech to an Indian think tank, Vice-admiral Kay-Achim Schonbach proposed the Western powers ‘respect’ Russian leader Vladimir Putin and accept that Crimea would remain in Moscow’s hands. The German admiral’s […]

Geopolitical commentator Clint Ehrlich has reported while on the ground in Moscow that “the situation in Kazakhstan is a much bigger deal than Western media is letting on.” He further argues that the mayhem unleashed this past week and ongoing violent destabilization significantly increases the risk of NATO-Russia conflict.  He asks the key question: what really is happening in Kazakhstan? […]

Americans who cherish our country’s legacy are horrified by our headlong rush to war. America at its best was the very motor of world progress, higher living standards and peace. George Washington (Image by W Kennedy on wikimedia commons) That is our true national identity. We betray “the better angels of our nature” by making […]

The path forward is clear, and it’s that the military and intelligence services of the CSTO countries will build upon this success in order to more closely coordinate their activities and hopefully prevent any similar such Hybrid War of Terror from happening against any of them ever again. To this end, it would be a […]

Bringing Sanity to the Omicron chaos Talking to three doctors who have been islands of reason in a sea of confusion… I have hit a wall with Covid.   I’ve done every stage of this pandemic: The “Tiger King” stage, the 10,000 steps a day phase, the adopting a dog phase, the regret of having adopted […]

The Biden administration is pulling the trigger on sending anti-tank weapons and air defense systems into Ukraine in order assist in repelling any potential Russian invasion. Further the White House has “notified Congress it intends to send five Mi-17 Transport Helicopters to Ukraine, officials Say,” according to The Wall Street Journal. But this weapons transfer will […]

An American Russia expert recently observed that diplomacy is not a reward for good behavior. Rather diplomacy is a necessary activity required for averting war. Skilled diplomacy requires one to understand the perceived interests of the other side and what shapes those perceptions. This helps both sides to arrive at a mutually agreeable resolution that […]

Those who support what happened in Kazakhstan on January 5th yet are against what happened in the US on January 6th are therefore shamelessly hypocritical and driven by explicitly ideological double standards. The Hybrid War of Terror on Kazakhstan that was unleashed on January 5th, possibly by the US’ subversive anti-Russian “deep state” faction in a desperate attempt to […]

Moscow is expected to remain the ‘first among equals’ in Nur-Sultan’s multi-alignment matrix though it’ll do well to keep an eye on Ankara’s comprehensive gains across the coming decade. The success of the Russian-led CSTO’s limited peacekeeping mission in Kazakhstan has led to widespread speculation about that host country’s foreign policy in the coming future. Some Alt-Media Community gatekeepers […]

Buckminster Fuller called the CIA Capitalism’s Invisible Army. Since its creation, it has been doing coups d’état and assassinations as part of its work. It has been deeply involved in creating war game scenarios, weaponizing diseases, conducting mind control operations such as that with Covid, creating havoc at home and abroad, etc. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., through his […]

(Natural News) Any non-corporate, non-mainstream media news outlet in recent years has been hit with a so-called “fact check” from the social media behemoths that now serve as info-gatekeepers for the globalists, including the esteemed British Medical Journal. In print since 1840, The BMJ, as it is now known, is one of the civilized world’s… […]

We’ve been saying from the beginning that if the US is going to start a war with Russia or China, it will start with a false flag, as that is just the standard method for starting wars. It may have seemed weird when US intelligence came out a couple of weeks ago and said that Russia […]

Fierce clashes between protesters and police in Brussels saw damage dealt to the European External Action Service building Chaotic scenes unfolded on the streets of the Belgian capital, Brussels, on Sunday, as thousands of protesters joined a mass march against Covid-19 health passes and other restrictions introduced by European governments in the name of combating […]

On Monday, at a time when Shia groups in Iraq and Iran are staging large anti-American rallies to commemorate the Jan.3rd 2020 killing of IRGC General Qassem Soleimani, a pair of armed drones were sent against a military base in Iraq which hosts US forces. “Two armed drones were shot down as they approached an […]

Officials say the proposed legislation is not suited to the current coronavirus situation Russian lawmakers have postponed consideration of a bill that would introduce a nationwide system of QR-code vaccine passes, saying that the law needs to be adapted to deal with the new Omicron variant of Covid-19. Tatyana Golikova, the deputy prime minister for […]

“What do we mean by the Revolution? The war? That was no part of the revolution; it was only an effect and consequence of it. The revolution was in the minds of the people.” What did John Adams mean when he wrote this to Thomas Jefferson in 1815, after both had served as president? Adams […]

In 1956 Allen Dulles, the then Director of the CIA was addressing a meeting in Asia of the newly formed Non-Aligned Nations. The NAN was comprised almost entirely of countries which had previously been colonies of the Western powers. After what was in many cases centuries of Western oppression, they were intent to achieve independence […]

I did not tune in for a nanosecond to the predictably boring, empty, wrong, and hyperventilating media coverage of the first anniversary of January 6th.  For one, I have an actual job and a family. That darn real life gets in the way again. For another, I could have written every article and broadcast speech […]

Recent developments in Kazakhstan have attracted widespread attention. For a while they have been the main discussion point of the entire global community. This is understandable, since Kazakhstan is the largest country in Central Asia, a region that has a significant impact on the developments in the larger Indo-Pacific region, that has already overtaken the […]

The doctor who first discovered the B11529 omicron strain of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) revealed she was told to label it as a “serious” variant. Dr. Angelique Coetzee, the chairwoman of the South African Medical Association (SAMA), recently made this revelation. According to the physician, she explained that the panic surrounding omicron was “a storm in […]

The cracking sound of ice breaking on the frozen lake of India-China relations will trigger a new wave of US-backed media campaign to instigate the hawks. Armed with satellite imageries made available from the US and peppered with random, free-wheeling remarks by garrulous Indian ex-generals and academics, the Washington Post has drawn attention to the […]

Coalition attacks across Yemen have killed more than 200 people during the past seven days UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has strongly condemned a Saudi-led coalition airstrike that killed dozens of civilians at a prison in the Yemeni city of Saada in the early hours of 21 January. In a statement issued through his spokesperson Stephane […]

American politics over the last half decade has become immersed in a series of conspiracy charges leveled by Democrats against their opponents that, in fact, are happening because of them and through them. The consequences of these conspiracies becoming reality and reality revealing itself as conspiracy have been costly to American prestige, honor, and security. […]

Extremists of all stripes see the power grid as a target for attacks, the US government warns in a new report. “Domestic” extremists increasingly see the US power grid as a target, according to the Department of Homeland Security. The US Department of Homeland Security has claimed that American “extremists” have designed concrete plans to […]

Elite schools in the UK have been found to drop various pro-LGBT guidelines present in their British operations from their franchises active in the Middle East.

The “Big Short” of 2008, the housing market, got its name because it looked too big to be a possible idea to short. The idea that the housing market would collapse was literally laughed off the air on financial media and there was nary a mainstream anchor or news contributor who admitted the housing market was in […]

Hypercapnia occurs when CO2 levels become elevated in the body. This happens when we rebreathe the gaseous waste air coming out of our mouths and noses, imposing harmful and dangerous effects on the mind and body. Rebreathing CO2 increases your blood pressure and leads to rapid heart rate, chest pain, confusion, twitches, headaches, fatigue, panic attacks and mass formation psychosis. […]

A US-based cardiologist termed Omicron variant as nothing more than a “seasonal cold virus”, and has warned against “overreaction and over-reach” by government agencies. He claimed that Omicron is “literally” the vaccine that vaccine companies could not make. He also said that the actions of government agencies are causing panic and providing misinformation. Medical Director at Los […]

In a recent interview, a former CIA agent reported that his country is opening a military base in Albania in order to contain China. A unit of American special forces in the Balkan country has as its main objective to stop any form of rapprochement between Tirana and Beijing, turning Albania into a mere regional […]

If the killing was meant to push Iran back, it has failed abysmally. Soleimani’s ability to maintain a modicum of stability outweighed any benefits that his death could have brought Two years have passed since Qassem Soleimani, commander of the Quds Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), was killed by a US drone strike on the tarmac of Baghdad airport. Soleimani was the brain […]

The problem is that the prophets of World War 3 were right. Only, as in the poem by the Polish-Lithuanian poet Czesław Miłosz about the end of the World that no one noticed – perhaps there will be no more global war other than a permanently hybrid war. And the inhabitants of not infected parts […]

The West’s propaganda campaign against China is attempting to convince the world that Beijing and its policies pose a global threat. China is accused of everything from presenting an outright military threat to its neighbors and the world, to sinisterly trapping nations in debt for infrastructure projects the West insists are unnecessary in the first […]

Security talks saw the US and NATO make some important concessions, but not on core issues A diplomatic marathon that saw Russia hold talks with the US and NATO on European security guarantees, this week, ended with the bloc offering to address a range of issues it had previously refused to even discuss with Moscow. […]

Russian-Pakistani ties aren’t strengthening at the expense of American, Chinese, or Indian interests, but complement each side’s respective balancing acts in the bi-multipolar world order while also standing to deliver tangible benefits to their people, both directly and also in terms of how they’re slated to reshape the regional geo-economic and geostrategic equations. Pakistan released […]

As part of its strategy to develop a global coalition against China in and around the Indo-Pacific, the US has been, for past many years, paying very close attention to what can be called ‘territorial flashpoints’ surrounding China – Taiwan, Hong Kong, Tibet and Xinjiang – to demonise and delegitimise China as a global power. […]

Restrictions including COVID-19 passes, mask mandates, and work-from-home requirements will be removed in England, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced on Wednesday. Johnson also suggested that self-isolation rules may also be thrown out at the end of March as the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic becomes endemic. Effective immediately, the UK government is no longer […]

Days before Biden’s inauguration as president on January 20 last year, instigating Russian dissident and Putin’s longtime foe Alexei Navalny to return to Russia on January 17 from his sojourn in Germany for no apparent political advantage, after being allegedly poisoned in August 2020, was clearly the job of the US deep state that wanted […]

Canadian (They/them/theirs) Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that up to 400 soldiers could be deployed to Ukraine amid “invasion” concerns. Ottawa further expands its military presence on Ukrainian soil citing alleged “Russian aggression”, Canada announced on Wednesday that it would extend its mission to support the Ukrainian Armed Forces by three years and would provide […]

The last article on the Taiwan issue in NEO focused on the referendum held on December 18 2021, on four questions. Of those four questions, only one has any real foreign policy implications, touching as it does on the relations between Taiwan’s current leadership and Washington, its main supporter in the international community. The referendum […]

To Moscow, Ukraine is not the problem, Washington is. Or, as Putin might put it: Tabaqui does what Shere Khan tells him to and there is no point in dealing with him, go straight to Shere Khan. That is what Moscow is trying to do with its treaty proposals. For the same reason, Moscow is […]

  Days ahead of the planned Russia-NATO talks in Geneva set to start Jan.9-10, the United States has sent several F-16 fighter jets to Poland, as part of a NATO training mission to assist with Polish and Belgian F-16 “policing missions”. The US fighters were deployed from Spangdahlem Air Base in Germany in order to rehearse […]

Yemen’s Information Minister, Daifullah al-Shami, said on 18 January that the recent drone operation on Emirati soil is a “legitimate and legal retaliation,” warning UAE officials that the entire country is within range of the Yemeni army. “The attack by the Yemeni armed forces against the UAE was part of a legal and legitimate response […]

Speaking at a press conference, Yoshimasa […]

With some countries considering a fourth booster shot amid the waning effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines, the European Union’s top health agency is warning that getting boosted ever four months could harm the immune system’s ability to fight off the disease. The European Medicines Agency advised countries instead to mirror the seasonal influenza vaccination strategy tied […]

US foreign policy endangers Americans without delivering any benefits Sometimes it seems that when it comes to international relations Russian president Vladimir Putin might be the only head of state who is capable of any rational proposals. His recent negotiating positions conveyed initially by Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Rybakov to step back from the brink […]

  With consumer interest in electric vehicles increasing, the global market for EV batteries has grown to the size of $27 billion in 2021 and is expected to continue expanding. In addition to having become a major hub for the manufacture of automotive parts, Statista’s Katharian Buchholz details below that Asia is also a pioneer […]

So far this month, the European Union has received (much more expensive) U.S. natural gas volumes five times higher than cheaper Russia’s pipeline deliveries, according to Polish outlet rp.pl, the first time in history in which American LNG has surpassed Russian gas deliveries. Last month, at least 30 tankers with liquefied natural gas from the […]

With Paul Manafort’s explosive new book, Political Prisoner, we finally have a full and honest detailed account of how the U.S. government, the not-so-special Special Counsel Robert Mueller, and particularly the FBI treated anyone and everyone connected to Donald Trump. The plain truth is they were after him—and would stop at nothing in their quest […]

  When it comes to broad investing themes that I noticed in 2021, that I plan on being invested in for years to come, two sectors come to mind: marijuana and uranium. I laid out my case for getting long marijuana stocks/ETFs in this comprehensive writeup from November 2021 and detailed my case further in my 22 Stocks […]

This is actually an incipient U-turn on America’s part and by no means on PM Abiy’s. The “Controversial” Phone Call There’s a lot of talk about the phone call between Prime Minister Abiy and US President Biden, with some speculating that it took place purely because the former supposedly submitted to the latter. This interpretation […]

Creators were they who created peoples, and hung a faith and a love over them: thus they served life. Destroyers, are they who lay snares for many, they hang a sword and a hundred cravings over them. Where there is still a people, there the state is not understood, but hated as the evil eye, […]

Lately, we keep hearing about this or that “threat to the republic,” ironically mostly involving something Republicans are doing or purporting to do, but I’m starting to think maybe (stop me if you’ve heard this before) the real threat is a cabal of powerful people who don’t want to give up power. My recent column about the parallels […]

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and other members of the Biden Cabinet are fond of proclaiming the “rules-based international order” (RBIO) or “rules-based order” every chance they get: in press conferences, on interviews, in articles, at international fora, for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and cocktails. Along with the terms “human rights” and “democracy,” the RBIO is routinely used […]

The Biden administration sanctioned two opposition politicians in Ukraine The US Treasury Department on Thursday sanctioned two Ukrainian MPs – Taras Kozak and Oleg Voloshyn – and two former officials – Volodymyr Oliynyk and Vladimir Sivkovich, accusing them of participating in a Moscow-backed conspiracy to destabilize the pro-Western government of Volodymyr Zelensky “Russia has directed […]

China’s decisive advantage, Professor Wen Yang of Fudan University wrote in a recent essay for The Observer (guancha.cn), is its lack of ambition for global hegemony. The Observer website often acts as a sounding board for the State Council. The Soviet Union fell, Wen argued, precisely because it attempted to become a hegemon, a concept […]

Reflecting the Pentagon’s new focus on China, US aircraft carrier strike groups almost doubled deployments to the South China Sea in 2021 compared to the year before. According to the Beijing-based South China Sea Probing Initiative (SCSPI), US carrier strike groups entered the South China Sea 10 times in 2021, compared with six times in 2020, and five […]

Last month, Italy imposed new restrictions on the unvaxxed amid concern over the Omicron variant that only seems to be infecting fully vaccinated individuals. Most public activities will be banned for people without a Covid “Super Green Pass.” The Super Green Pass will be needed to enter theaters, sporting events, restaurants, and bars. Violators will be charged… […]

The Hybrid War on Kazakhstan is ongoing, very fluid, and everything might thus change unexpectedly, but the present analysis’ purpose is to prove that the latest events are indeed a Hybrid War coup attempt by anti-state terrorists, even if it’s unclear at this moment exactly which networks they’re associated with. What were initially apolitical but nevertheless unauthorized […]

Troops from a number of former Soviet republics have been deployed in the wake of violent and bloody clashes in Kazakhstan that are a form of aggression leveled against the country, Russian President Vladimir Putin has said, claiming the same tactics used in Ukraine in 2014 were deployed to coordinate protests. Speaking as part of […]

Moscow HAS blasted the story as a “sensation” whipped up in the press Russia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has responded to recent reports that Moscow has partly evacuated its embassy in Ukraine, by claiming that foreign media is unfairly spinning realty in order to paint the country as insidious. Diplomatic spokesperson Maria Zakharova issued the […]

Disgraced pedo billionaire had ex-employees sign papers stating they never saw Bill Clinton at ‘orgy island’ Jeffrey Epstein reportedly had ex-managers of his ‘orgy island’ sign an affidavit affirming they never saw Bill Clinton visiting the place. Miles and Cathy Alexander were employed by Epstein between 1999 to 2007. According to the Daily Mail, in […]

Some compare corona times to the novel 1984, but I thought that perhaps Terry Gilliam’s Brazil could be an even more apt comparison. In that movie, the totalitarian nightmare is coordinated by bumbling and incompetent bureaucrats, who nevertheless never give up in their indefatigable pursuit of more paperwork. If there was one thing that this damn pandemic sure […]

Bobana M. Andjelkovic In the Reuters article in the section “Business” from a few days ago, Americans (and Reuters) admitted they consider that war is a business. Reuters news agency is a part of Thomson Reuters Corporation – where Thomson part is well known for taking part in Transatlantic military-industrial complex. Reuters, the news part […]

The ridiculous nature of the West’s latest claims suggests a desperation on the part of its anti-Russian ‘deep state’ faction to preemptively blame Moscow if any of this comes to pass. That’s precisely for the two naturally occurring reasons that were earlier explained: the opposition’s genuine desire to avert a catastrophic war with Russia that […]

  In recent years, the United States and Europe began to actively use unfair competition by announcing all kinds of unilateral sanctions that violate international law in a frantic desire to achieve some advantage over Russia and China. Washington and its Western allies will take any step they can come up with against China, only […]

Being a “swing state” may have tactical advantages but when life gets tough and the tough gets going, there could be consequences. Turkey once faced such a moment of truth a hundred years ago. It faces a similar predicament today. At a meeting on Thursday in Ankara with the European Union ambassadors, Turkish President called for […]

My paper “The Default Hypothesis Fails to Explain Jewish Influence” has generated considerable controversy. Springer Nature has put up the following statement at the beginning of the article: 04 January 2022 Editor’s Note: The Editor-in-Chief and publisher are aware of concerns raised with the content of this article and are investigating. Editorial action will be taken […]

At a moment both sides are firmly rejecting the other’s position in ongoing Russia-NATO talks, and as the Kremlin could stage fresh naval drills in the Black Sea if the West continues to “provoke” Russia, there’s also set to be a military building in the far north, within the Arctic Circle. The maritime monitoring site Barents Observer reports that […]

It’s an honest question. I’ve been looking at it for a while now, and I can’t find an honest answer. Maybe someone out there can help me with that. There are a number of issues: we know that for two years, deaths have been labeled as “Covid” when they were not, or at least that […]

The Austrian government’s plan to make vaccination against Covid-19 mandatory has sparked mass protests Thousands of Austrians took to the streets of Vienna in protest of an upcoming parliamentary vote to make Covid-19 vaccines mandatory, with protesters calling for the government to be replaced. Protesters carried Austrian flags through the streets on Saturday as police […]

Former US congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard is once again calling out the US hawks’ rush to escalate toward military confrontation with Russia over Ukraine. The Iraq War veteran and reserve officer who also became well-known for exposing the dirty war on Syria said in a Thursday video message posted to Twitter that confrontation between “two nuclear […]

On the occasion of new German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock’s visit to Moscow, OneWorld is publishing the full text of the interview on Russian-German relations that Andrew Korybko gave last month to Parth Satam, some excerpts of which were published in Financial Express’ article earlier this month titled “Scholz’s Outreach Shows Germany’s Russia-Friendly ‘Russlandversteher’ still […]

The recent talks held in Geneva and Brussels between the Russian delegates and their American and European equivalents have been completed without any agreement being reached. The Russians have given a one-week deadline for the United States and NATO’s response to their demands. The chances of the Americans agreeing to the Russian demand that not […]

Jack Turner As we have all heard, many double-standards are commonly adopted and implemented around the world. Like the actions that take place with the issue of global terrorism, and in many cases these policies are simply ignored and rejected by the international community and the media. In general, the behavior of Western countries in […]

In a recent interview with Geopolitics & Empire — https://guadalajarageopolitics.com/2022/01/18/paul-craig-roberts-it-may-well-be-the-end-of-the-world/ — Hrvoje Moric asked me if there was an explanation for the uniformity of countries’ Covid policies with even the “free world” shutting down civil liberties with tyrannical lockdowns, mask, vaccine, and passport mandates, and falsified pandemic and death data. I said it looked very much like […]

There is a certain level of madness required to reach the state our country is in today. I think most of us feel this and know this but I want to dissect the situation a little so that we can see the guts of the thing and understand the mechanics of it. Insanity has a […]

One of the alleged main conspirators in the attempted overthrow of the Kazakhstan Government turns out to have been a “good friend” of the Bidens who participated in several shady business meetings with both Hunter and Joe. Once again, the Biden family’s corrupt dealings have directly impacted another MAJOR geopolitical issue. Kazakhstan’s intelligence chief Karim […]

The Agency has a long and largely unsuccessful track record when it comes to dueling with Moscow Reports that the CIA is running training programs to prepare Ukrainian forces for unconventional warfare bear an uncanny similarity to a long-exposed Cold War-era project. If history is any judge, it is likely to end the same way. […]

Draghi hasn’t even begun to fight Bitcoin, but he’s thinking about it. Italian politics is nothing if not entertaining. Unfortunately, given current circumstances that entertainment value is more akin to watching a slowly unfolding horror show rather than a good time at the circus. Last week was dominated by the machinations for the election of […]

In advance of the January 10 meeting, Secretary of State Blinken and NATO functionary Stoltenberg stupidly reduced Russia’s Options to Two: Surrender or Use Force. https://www.globalresearch.ca/blinken-stoltenberg-unleash-unprecedented-diktat-ultimatum-russia-following-nato-fm-meeting/5766645 If these idiotic accusations were not enough, Blinken accused Putin of intending to restore the Soviet Union. It is impossible to understand how a person this stupid was confirmed […]

Taiwanese military scrambled fighter jets and prepared air defense missile systems after a group of 39 Chinese planes, including a bomber, were allegedly spotted entering its Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ). Taiwan’s Ministry of Defense claimed that dozens of Chinese planes had crossed its southwest ADIZ, prompting the island to activate its military resources “to […]

The conservative French-Jewish pundit Éric Zemmour may well become France’s next president. The centerpiece of his campaign is opposition to the Great Replacement. The latter means the ongoing trend of substitution of the indigenous populations of France and Europe by non-European immigrants, in particular by Africans and Muslims. In his most recent book, Zemmour writes […]

It’s important for observers to acknowledge that Kazakhstan, like most countries, has preexisting socio-economic and political issues that internal forces organically attempt to take advantage of from time to time with or without any foreign connections or encouragement. The Central Asian nation of Kazakhstan has been rocked by increasingly violent protests since the beginning of the year […]

In a quiet response to the Senate Judiciary Committee three days before Christmas, the Biden DOJ says it won’t withdraw a controversial memo used to activate the FBI Counterterrorism Division to investigate parents voicing their opposition to a variety of topics – primarily mask and vaccine mandates, and teaching critical race theory. Last week, Sen. […]

The southwest border during President Joe Biden’s first year in office reached historic levels of illegal crossings, pulling agents off the front line and leaving large swaths of the border unpatrolled. Drugs, especially fentanyl, flowed in, and overdose deaths are at an all-time high. “What we’re experiencing now on the southwest border is a complete, […]

Costantino Ceoldo An interview with Matthew Ehret Green New Deal are three words that have acquired great notoriety in recent times and seem to finally be the answer to the increasingly pressing requests coming from the variegated environmental world. The fear that our planet will undergo an ecological collapse that makes it an uninhabitable hell […]

Propaganda is most impactful when people don’t think it’s propaganda, and most decisive when it’s censorship you never knew happened. When we imagine that the U.S. military only occasionally and slightly influences U.S. movies, we are extremely badly deceived. The actual impact is on thousands of movies made, and thousands of others never made. And […]

When I’ve talked in the past about the patchwork tyranny post COVID-9/11, I had more mundane things in mind than the fate of a major tennis star. Novak Djokovic was deported from Australia on Sunday after his appeal to reinstate his visa failed. And it failed not for health reasons but for political ones. To […]

Costantino Ceoldo Interview with Augusto Sinagra The latest Decree-Law of the Draghi government introduced a strengthened version of the Nazi laissez-passer already introduced in the previous months, a vaccination mandate for all Italian public employees and a mandatory vaccination for all over-50s residing in the Italian territory, under penalty of a 100 euros fine, “one-off”. […]

Washington will not consider Russian proposals on no expansion of NATO, and has no intention of even discussing the idea. So much for “dialogue”. It was the first high-level Russia-NATO meeting since 2019 – coming immediately after the non sequitur of the U.S.-Russia “security guarantee” non-dialogue dialogue earlier in the week in Geneva. So what […]

More Democrats denied that former President Donald Trump won the 2016 election than the people who claimed President Joe Biden wasn’t legitimately elected in 2020, but the Democrat and corporate media didn’t bother lying that American democracy was crumbling then. A new poll from The Washington Post asked respondents, “Regardless of whom you supported in the 2020 […]

Just as the covid narrative is slowly disintegrating even as its MSM propaganda powers “cancel” anyone who dares to speak out against the lies  – so the “Russia is about to invade Ukraine” plotline just suffered a major blow after the chief of Germany’s navy, vice-admiral Kay-Achim Schönbach , said on Friday that Crimea “will […]

In all the hysteria over the latest strain of the Coronavirus virus, the frenzied ideological (and essentially authoritarian and anti-constitutional) activities of the House January 6 “Investigatory” Committee, and the frenetic lead up to this recent Christmas, one significant anniversary was missed, or rather ignored, by our media, including the so-called “conservative” media: the birth […]

How many American soldiers will die in the battle for Luhansk? Or Kerch? Not 1 in 1,000 Americans could find these drab Ukrainian (formerly Russian) industrial cities on a map. How many Americans are aware that a unit of the Florida National Guard is stationed in western Ukraine, of all places? It’s just a training […]

  If we no longer have the capacity to distinguish between moral legitimacy and self-serving corruption, then we might as well eliminate the Middleman and vote directly for Pfizer or Merck. There’s a fancy word for cutting out the Middleman: disintermediation. Removing intermediaries who take a cut but neither produce nor add value makes perfect sense, reducing […]

When talking about Germany’s Fourth Reich, it’s crucial to issue the clarification that Kaczynski did that this neo-imperialist model isn’t the same as its World War II-era genocidal predecessor lest one’s genuine criticisms of that country be dismissed as a ‘conspiracy theory’. Polish Deputy Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski, who functions as his country’s “grey cardinal”, accused Germany […]

Protests over the rise in liquified petroleum gas prices have escalated in Kazakhstan. For metals markets, the riots raised anxiety over supply but offered no more than modest support to prices. Because Kazakhstan is such a large ore and refined metal producer, metals prices could react further if the riots spread to become a national […]

This isn’t going to be pretty, folks. The downfall of a death cult rarely is. There is going to be wailing and gnashing of teeth, incoherent fanatical jabbering, mass deleting of embarrassing tweets. There’s going to be a veritable tsunami of desperate rationalizing, strenuous denying, shameless blame-shifting, and other forms of ass-covering, as suddenly former […]

While you are lockdown, forcefully vaccinated, poorer and not free: If there is anyone still confused why ESG, and the entire “green” movement is one giant, boiling cauldron of lies, hypocrisy and fraud, read on. Last summer, it was reported that the European Commission – that murder of career bureaucrats – has proposed exempting private […]

Under the cover of pre-dawn darkness, Native Hawaiians surprised the gates of the US Navy Command with a civil disobedience action over the #RedHill fuel leak. Empire Files producer Mike Prysner was on the ground. See Also:  – Navy Abandons Victims of Red Hill Fuel Leak The US Navy’s Red Hill disaster has left thousands […]

As the U.S. moves nuclear forces closer and closer to the border of Russia, and as our corporate media bang their war drums louder and louder, does anyone remember the Cuban missile crisis? In June of 1961, just three months after the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba was defeated,  the United States began the […]

Gas pipeline and the political conflict are separate issues, top official insists The controversial Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which will bring gas from Russia to Germany under the Baltic Sea, should not be tangled up with ongoing political disputes between Ukraine and Russia, a senior official in Berlin has said. In an interview with broadcaster […]

As readers are aware, I regard Washington’s refusal to accommodate Russia’s security concerns as totally irresponsible. By denying security guarantees to Russia, Washington essentially told the Kremlin that Washington intends to locate nuclear missiles on Russia’s borders and to use color revolutions among former Russian provinces to destabilize the Russian Federation. In other words, Washington […]

Jordan Peterson has left his professorial post at the University of Toronto. He announced his departure with characteristic blunt honesty in Canada’s National Post. Peterson first came to my attention in 2016, as he did for many, for his refusal to bow to demands to use novel pronouns preferred by the transgendered. For this, he was […]

Founded after the end of the Second World War, the United Nations Organization set itself a primary goal of defending peace and justice in all countries. In furtherance of this goal the UN has sent troops to armed conflicts of all kinds, mounting some 70 peacekeeping missions since 1945. Known as Blue Helmets, some 100,000 […]

  In a fervor of cross-partisan struggle and in pursuit of a bombshell, the New York Times was forced to publish hundreds of secret Pentagon records on innocent civilians that died due to reckless airstrikes conducted by the US military in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan. Flawed and handicapped US intelligence is a notion that the rest […]

Italy is set to expand its mandate to require all residents 50 and older to be inoculated against Covid-19 or potentially face monthly penalties Italy’s government has issued a decree requiring that everyone 50 years old and up be vaccinated against Covid-19, exempting only those who have recently recovered from the virus or who can’t […]

In this week’s episode of the Great Game, V and Matt explore the history of color revolutions from the French Revolution, to the Bolshevik Revolution, to the rise of the age of Open Society and the National Endowment for Democracy that have lit the world on fire during the last 40 years. We took some […]

With Syria still embroiled in its own war, Israel has been actively rewriting the rule book regarding its conduct in this Arab country. Gone are the days of a potential return of the illegally occupied Golan Heights to Syrian sovereignty in exchange for peace, per the language of yesteryears. Now, Israel is set to double […]

  After the disgraceful flight of United States troops from Afghanistan, when the whole world watched with surprise and horror the nightmarish scenes at the airport, the rate at which the once-US-friendly government collapsed, giving way to the Taliban (banned in Russia), and experienced the tragic human stories of those Afghans who remained in the […]

“Looking at the present, I see a more probable future: a new despotism creeping slowly across America. Faceless oligarchs sit at command posts of a corporate-government complex that has been slowly evolving over many decades. In efforts to enlarge their own powers and privileges, they are willing to have others suffer the intended or unintended consequences […]

Inflationary forces and strong demand for industrial metals and oil have lifted commodity prices in 2021 After years of being shunned on Wall Street and by traditional financial markets, bitcoin and cryptocurrencies finally enjoyed their moment in the sun last year After years of playing laggards, commodities outperformed most other asset classes in 2021 and […]
