Month: February 2022

Democrats have rushed to declare Ukraine’s borders sacred while destroying our own borders, former President Donald Trump said Saturday. He said under Joe Biden’s leadership, “we’re losing our country,” while the Biden administration “spent months obsessing over how to stop an invasion of a foreign country, thousands of miles away.” “You can’t defend western civilization if […]

My opening music on Radio Derb this week was a snippet of the great Vladimir Horowitz playing the last movement of Mussorgsky’s piano suite “Pictures at an Exhibition.” Horowitz, generally regarded as the greatest concert pianist of the last century, was born in Kiev, capital of Ukraine. It was inspired by, duh, pictures the composer saw at an exhibition in […]

I’ll be honest. I don’t know what’s happening in Ukraine. I don’t understand it either. I ignore most of the mainstream media because I don’t trust it. In the Wild West world of online, where I graze widely, it feels like there are as many different assessments and explanations of the situation in Ukraine as […]

As the eponymous title of our podcast promises, my partner David Vance and I dish out the “Hard Truth” about the emergency situation unraveling—or, is it wrapping up?—in Canada. Although our side won the first round – Canadian dicktator Justine Trudeau having suddenly caved and revoked the unconstitutional emergency powers seized for no good reason shortly after extending them—the […]

The transition of India’s foreign policy mindset during the post-Cold War period from an international outlook to a national one, and then its colossal drop to provincial thinking, is a tragic phenomenon. One outcome has been the tendency to reduce foreign policy to a single theme – India’s relations with the United States – which […]

“Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes… known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few.… No nation could preserve its freedom […]

Russian airborne troops have taken control of the Antonov Airport, which is about 30 kilometers away from Kiev, Ukraine. CNN’s Matthew Chance reported Thursday: “We are here at the Antonov airport, which is about 25 kilometers, 15 miles or so out of the center. These troops you can see over here, they are Russian airborne forces,” […]

Are there are no more regular army soldiers left in the USA so Biden has to send to Poland (and to do what?) the already small number of border guards from the porous southern border? President Joe Biden’s administration is looking to divert United States Border Patrol agents from their mission at the U.S.-Mexico border […]

The Fox News host could face prosecution if Russia invades Ukraine, a Harvard law professor has claimed. Harvard law professor and author Laurence Tribe suggested that Fox News’ most popular host, Tucker Carlson, could be guilty of “treason” should Russia “wage war” on Ukraine. Tribe has since deleted the tweets, backpedaling on the accusation, however. “Led by Fox […]

The incursion into Kharkov, reported by the regional governor, suggested the city could soon fall, allowing Russian forces to push south. Citizens on social network reported sporadic gunfire and street fighting. Earlier, Sputnik news reported that Ukraine’s 302nd Anti-Aircraft Missile Regiment surrendered in Kharkov Region. Russian troops entered Kharkov in Ukraine’s north-east at about 8am on Sunday, an […]

It’s only through these means – encouraging their audience to use proxies to access Western-censored Russian media, offering generous and comprehensive packages for incentivizing qualified professionals to migrate to Russia, and working closely with those who are already deeply rooted here and considered to be reliable – that publicly financed Russian international media can survive […]

Former President Donald Trump hinted at a 2024 presidential run, saying, “We’re going to be doing it again,” on Saturday during his speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). Former President Donald Trump once again praised the Freedom Convoy trucker movement and said, “a line has been crossed. You’re either with the peaceful truckers […]

Philip Giraldi has a nice column on the continuing power of the neocons, particularly in the Ukraine situation (“Diplomacy is a Four-Letter Word“). The vitriol unloaded on Russia since the rise of Vladimir Putin and most recently to ridicule almost every aspect of the Olympic Games is astonishing. … The sustained pressure on the Ukraine […]

President Putin’s appeal to the Ukrainian Armed Forces was noble, humanitarian, and showed the profound level of respect that he has for the Ukrainian people. The US-led West will do everything in its power to paint him as a ‘bloody ethno-supremacist dictator’ but anyone who reads his own words knows that’s just a lie. Russian […]

A Saudi-led coalition attack on a residential area near the border with Saudi Arabia in Saada province on 9 March left two civilians dead and several others injured. The Saudi-led coalition has been accused of causing the ‘world’s worst humanitarian crisis’ in the Arab world’s poorest country. The Saudi-led coalition has continued with its aggression […]

In my days as a Moscow correspondent, during the collapse of the Soviet Union at the end of the 1980s, there was no more haunting sight than the memorials to the dead of another age outside Leningrad, as St Petersburg was then called. It’s hard to digest the numbers. As many people died in Hitler’s […]

This is the sort of move that gives “Pyrrhic victory” a bad name. Washington has backed Putin into a corner, forcing him to take drastic measures to protect Russian minorities in Ukraine. That in turn forced Europe’s leaders into Washington’s camp, and within 48 hours, the European discourse has shifted away from economic cooperation with […]

In the early hours of Thursday morning, in what will perhaps finally result in the COVID-19 mainstream media narrative being permanently banished from the headlines, almost nine years of Western provocations via its Eastern European proxy state Ukraine would culminate in Russia launching a military intervention into its Western neighbour – with attempts to peacefully […]

It is the history of Asia that when white men with guns show up professing good intentions, Asians suffer. The Asia Pacific region has come in for much attention in recent years. Most of it a transparent attempt to contain China and its spectacular rise, remember Obama’s pivot to Asia? The dominant narrative is that […]

Despite the US’ success in its Hybrid War on Ukraine, its failures in Syria, Belarus, and Kazakhstan afforded Russia the breathing space to remain focused on counteracting the threats to its nuclear second-strike capabilities that lie at the true heart of this crisis. Russia’s special operation in Ukraine was commenced with the grand goal of restoring global strategic […]

In Turkey, convicted ISIS members roam free and their weapons easily cross borders. Even Turkish intelligence admits Turkey has become the nerve center of ISIS activity. Two reports have recently created an awkward situation for Turkey. The first one, an official report by Turkey’s Financial Crimes Investigation Board (MASAK), revealed that the ISIS weapons supply […]

  Ukraine is part of a far bigger geopolitical picture. Russia and China want US hegemonic influence in the Eurasian continent marginalised. Following defeats for US foreign policy in Syria and Afghanistan and following Brexit, Putin is driving a wedge between America and the non-Anglo-Saxon EU. Due to global monetary expansion, rising energy prices are benefiting […]

FBI set to launch new “crypto crimes unit” as more people turn to virtual currency to escape govt. control of personal finances. Because the FBI no longer serves the American people and has, over the years, been transformed into an agency that creates more crimes through entrapment than it solves, the bureau is set to […]

Getting your priorities right while the population suffers economic hardship caused by inequality imposed by Western corrupt elites and unjustified lockdowns and introduction of tyrannical police state is obviously something he/she/it is doing well since he/she/it is probably spending ‘sleepless night getting it right’. “LGBT+ rights” are the most important “values and hard won freedoms” […]

While China is still trying not to fully alienate the US while effectively siding with Putin in Ukraine (see “China Calls US ‘Culprit’ For Ukraine Tensions” yet “China State Banks Restrict Purchases Of Russian Commodities, Pause Buying Russian Seaborne Crude“), Asia’s other superpower, India, has no such qualms and according to Nikkei Asia, India is […]

If Kiev was really so confident in its military capabilities, not only would it not be calling up reservists and militarizing civilians, but it wouldn’t be urgently requesting foreign mercenary assistance nor ridiculously comparing President Putin to Hitler. Its forces also wouldn’t deploy heavy weapons in residential areas in order to essentially exploit the civilians […]

In his article the forensic investigator Bob Bishop is documenting the Ukrainian Blood Money trail that leads to the Obama-Biden Administration that helped create instability in Ukraine, leading to a Mafia-like climate where excuse of potential Russian aggression leads to Ukraine demanding ‘protection’. Protection money is easily extorted, benefiting Hunter Biden and indirectly Joe Biden. The ultimate […]

China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi told US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken in a phone conversation that took place on February 22 about China’s concerns over the worsening of China-US relations that in his opinion was a direct result of Washington’s actions. According to the Chinese foreign minister, Beijing is ready to build relations with the […]

A Ukrainian military airplane went down near Kiev, Ukraine’s State Service for Emergency Situations has stated publishing a photo from the site of the incident.

Donetsk People’s Republic Head Denis Pushilin has urged employees of the enterprises in the areas temporarily occupied by Kiev not to allow terrorist attacks to happen, Donbass News Agency reports. “Regrettably, we have received information that the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) planned to blast two enterprises –  Ilych Iron and Steel Works and Azovstal […]

A much larger war that could dangerously escalate into World War III was averted by Russia’s preemptive special operation in Ukraine aimed at neutralizing the US and NATO’s latent, imminent, and hot threats emanating from that country. This makes Moscow’s military mission truly a peacemaking one since the Eurasian Great Power responsibly sought to prevent […]

As Charles Kennedy writes at OilPrice.com, U.S. gasoline prices are rising after the Russian invasion in Ukraine and could hit $4 per gallon, according to data from the AAA. The average price per gallon of gasoline reached $3.57 as of Friday, according to GasBuddy data, after starting the week at $3.51. A year ago, the […]

We now have a war that the vast majority of us never wanted.  All of our lives are going to be turned upside down, the global economy is going to be absolutely eviscerated, and countless numbers of people are going to die.  I am very angry with Vladimir Putin and the Russians for launching a full-blown […]

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, as it replenishes the body’s supply of glucose to boost energy until lunch while providing other essential nutrients. The first meal of the day usually consists of eggs, bacon, toast, fresh-squeezed orange juice, coffee, and milk. Today, breakfast foods are becoming expensive as food inflation soars to a […]

“People think nothing could have been done to prevent Russia from taking Ukraine, but that’s absurd,” bravely writes outspoken realist Michael Shellenberger in a Twitter thread that is bound to get him accused of being ‘treasonous’ or promoting ‘Russian propaganda’, instead of merely opening the forum for discussion of other opinions than the one driven into the […]

With Ukraine suffering defeat at the hands of Vladimir Putin’s military, John Kerry shared his true concern about the conflict: climate. To state the obvious, John Kerry is an unserious person. That’s not a reference to his wind-surfing or flip-flops or other classic campaign faux pas from days gone by. With Ukraine suffering death and destruction at the hands […]

Will far-right Ukrainian militias play the same role as the mujahedeen did in Afghanistan? For almost three months, the Western mainstream media, in a move not dissimilar to its previous assertions that Saddam Hussein had the capability to launch WMDs within 45 minutes, or that Iran was building a nuclear bomb, has repeatedly claimed that Russia is […]

The Kenyan Ambassador to the UN very strongly implied that Russia was pursuing an outdated ‘colonial’ policy influenced by ‘dangerous nostalgia’. He rejected what he described as Russia’s alleged ‘irredentism and expansionism’, which the diplomat said might have been driven by ‘racial, ethnic, religious, or cultural factors.’ These remarks prompted concern among some that Kenya […]

The events that took place in Kazakhstan’s in early January still loom large. Kazakhstan is still tracing the instigators and participants of the January unrest, as law enforcement officers find arms caches in the cities and countryside almost every day. Deputy Foreign Minister of Kazakhstan Marat Syzdykov has recently confirmed that the country’s authorities are […]

In the West, media outlets are claiming that Russia’s agenda to “denazify” Ukraine is unfounded. At the same time, public opinion in Western countries is totally alienated from the Ukrainian reality, tending to believe only what is reported by the hegemonic media. The result of this is strong disapproval of the Russian attitude based on […]

“Fiddle-dee-dee! War, war, war, This war talk’s spoiling all the fun at every party this spring. I get so bored I could scream. Besides, there isn’t going to be any war.” – Gone With the Wind For whatever reason, French players are in “spectator only” mode. War.  It’s one way we find out the difference […]

For the first time throughout the current two-month long standoff between NATO and Russia over Ukraine, the specter of nuclear war has been directly raised, with Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko on Thursday warning that his country stands ready to deploy nuclear weapons if under threat. Citing external threats coming from the West, and at a moment […]

The EU’s top court rejected actions brought by Hungary and Poland and said the bloc’s funding may be denied to nations violating rule of law. The European Court of Justice has ruled that the EU may cut funding to member states that violate its ‘rule of law’ standards The EU’s top court has dismissed a […]

OneWorld is publishing the full English version of the interview that Andrew Korybko recently gave to Cesar Calejon from Brazil’s Universo Online, excerpts of which were included in his article titled ‘Manobras dos EUA levaram à guerra Rússia-Ucrânia, diz analista em Moscou’. 1. How does the Russian population support the current special military operation? Is […]

Every human life is precious and every preventable death a tragedy. But unborn babies’ abortion deaths all too frequently are ignored or, worse, celebrated because so many people refuse to recognize them as valuable human beings. Deaths from guns, meanwhile, receive a lot of attention. A new study found that firearm deaths in the U.S. […]

Whichever way the U.S.-Russian tensions pan out — or, get protracted — Germany hopes to be the net winner. Prima facie, it may seem German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s inexperience in world politics showed in his first appearance at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday when he was dismissive about a remark by Russian leader earlier […]

The special military operation will be aimed at “the defense of” the newly-recognized republics of Donetsk and Lugansk Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced he ordered his country’s military to conduct a special operation in the Donbass region after the leaders of the breakaway republics asked Moscow for military assistance in response to what they claim is […]

The debt addicted nations of today must hit rock bottom before they can see the incorruptible recovery guidelines of Bitcoin… The life of an addict is characterized by three stages: active addiction, rock bottom and recovery. These stages can overlap, reverse, repeat and do not necessarily occur sequentially. Generally speaking, however, every recovering addict walks […]

In this presentation delivered to the Day 6 proceedings of the Coronavirus Grand Jury hearing organized by Dr. Reiner Fullmich and his team of international lawyers, Canadian Patriot Review Editor-in-Chief Matthew Ehret was asked to deliver remarks elucidating the origins of the quasi-science of eugenics, and its role in mis-shaping the 20th century. This exercise […]

In a recent interview with the German newspaper Die Welt, Turkish presidential spokesman İbrahim Kalın admitted that at the moment Turkey’s relations with Germany are not at the desired level. Indeed, the two partners, Berlin and Ankara, have had a lot of grievances against each other in recent years. Although Germany had been the main “defender” […]

I haven’t had much truck with the Democratic Party since 1965 or ’66, when I was expelled from my college chapter of the Young Democrats because I said out loud that I was rooting for the Viet Cong to win the war the US government was waging against them. The only Democratic presidential candidate I’ve ever […]

President Biden announced Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson as his nominee to replace retiring Justice Stephen Breyer on the U.S. Supreme Court. Jackson, who donated to and worked with former President Barack Obama’s presidential campaign, has a record of rulings that seemingly favor Democrats. In a 2015 ruling, for example, she declined to force former Hillary […]

By Michael Every, Hugo Erken, Michiel van der Veen, Ryan Fitzmaurice and Stefan Voge of Rabobank Summary Fears of a Russian invasion of Ukraine linger despite recent possible de-escalation We build on our recent ‘Ukraine metacrisis’ to model three macroeconomic war scenarios Scenario A assumes a short disruptive war; scenario B a war and effective […]

When it was shared yesterday that all interested observers should be very wary of the information from media sources around Ukraine, there was a reason for that.  Question everything. Take nothing at face value. If you have never experienced the propaganda push surrounding war, the totality of the inbound bullsh*t can be destabilizing, overwhelming and unnerving.  It’s one […]

The percentage of wealth owned by the top 1% keeps rising over time. Who’s to credit or blame?   This data series compiled by the Fed started in the third quarter of 1989. The most recent data is from the third quarter of 2021. If you have not seen charts of this series before, the […]

President Joe Biden has announced the first round of economic sanctions on Russia as tensions in Ukraine continue to mount. The sanctions came in response to an announcement by Russian President Vladimir Putin recognizing two breakaway republics in Ukraine and his decision to send troops into those regions. Sanctions are meant to punish Russia, but […]

The US State Department said on Friday that it’s been directly reaching out to every American inside Ukraine that it can possibly contact. This after the US Embassy in past weeks had issued dire alerts that they should make plans to leave – however, which angered Ukraine officials themselves on up to President Zelensky, given […]

Bolsonaro vows to remain neutral in the clash between “brother nations”. Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro said Brazil refuses to pick sides in the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine, pledging to remain neutral as the US, EU, UK, and allies continue to impose sweeping sanctions on Russia, accusing it of “unprovoked” aggression. In a press […]

Russia is going for basically a zero civilian casualty approach, even as they are being accused of “genocide” and all kinds of other lunacy. The media is saying “why is it taking them 4 days??? Russian army meets no resistance and the Ukraine Nazi Army has dissolved! The only possible reason I can think that […]

The WEF’s newest release “The Great Narrative” with its fixation on ‘fake news’ is as much an admission of guilt as it is recognition of failure. A funny thing happens when corporate culture becomes indistinguishable from government culture. Corporatized governments promote and grant authority to those ‘ambitious’ individuals who can best over-sell and over-promise results. […]

“A classic problem in environmental economics is the tragedy of the commons. The solution to it lies in property rights and supply management,” said Mark Carney, governor of the Bank of England, in a speech at Lloyd’s of London in London, UK, on Sept. 29, 2015. “Climate change is the Tragedy of the Horizon,” he continued. “We don’t […]

Her information warfare narrative is designed solely to scare the Western public into blindly supporting their leaders’ aggressive actions aimed at ‘containing’ Russia and ultimately eroding its nuclear second-strike capabilities so as to place Moscow in a perpetual position of nuclear blackmail, which President Putin would never accept. British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss is lying through […]

NATO might want to draw its own red line in the remnants of the increasingly crumbling Ukrainian state by reviving the so-called “West Ukrainian People’s Republic”, whether as a self-declared independent state that immediately joins the military alliance in order to come under its nuclear umbrella or by having it (re-)’unify’ with Poland and achieving […]

Ottawa follows the US lead with sanctions against Russia and sending more soldiers to Latvia. Canada has joined the US in putting sanctions on Moscow and sending troops, ships and planes to the Russian border over the Ukraine crisis  Canada is boosting its military presence at Russia’s border and sanctioning Russian sovereign debt, parliamentarians and […]

In his slow, deliberate but deadly way, John Durham is exposing a scandal infinitely worse than Watergate. Once again Donald Trump has been proven right. When Donald Trump claimed that he and his campaign had been spied upon by Democrat operatives, the corporate media mocked him as either a delusional paranoid or an outright liar. […]

Donetsk People’s Republic residents celebrate the decision of Russian President Vladimir Putin to recognize both Donbass Republics as independent states, launching fireworks in the centre of Donetsk.

Ukrainian border guards are not resisting the […]

China’s Cross-Border International Payments System could give Russia a lifeline and accelerate de-dollarization. China’s currency is developing into a safe haven. But there is more work to do. Washington’s new sanctions against Russia were no match for President Biden’s rhetoric, leaving out the most obvious measure that the United States might take to hurt Moscow, […]

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has dubbed European organizations “meaningless almshouses”. Deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council considers Western sanctions “an excellent reason for a final review” of Russia-West relations.  Western sanctions could be an “excellent reason for a final review” of Russia’s relations with the nations that have imposed the restrictions, the deputy chairman […]

Russia accuses German chancellor of ‘making fun of genocide’ after Scholz had dismissed Moscow’s claims that 8 years of bloodshed in eastern Ukraine is genocide.

In talks with Sergei Lavrov this week, Secretary Blinken certainly has diplomatic options. The question is, will he pursue the right ones?

Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Nebenzya: the task of demilitarizing Ukraine will be completed soon “We are not at war with Ukraine and the Ukrainian people. We are conducting a special military operation against the nationalists and to protect the inhabitants of Donbass – denazification and demilitarization. These tasks will be completed soon enough […]

Ukrainian military facilities are being hit by Russian precision weapons, to disable Ukrainian military infrastructure, the Russian defense ministry said.

Just before Russian President Vladimir Putin launched his full-scale military assault on Ukraine, which has drawn accusations of potential war crimes and received global condemnation, the United States hit Somalia with the latest drone attack in its 15-year war against the impoverished nation. “The ongoing horrors of a protracted war matter as much as the fresh horrors of a new one.” In a […]

If they could flood the West with the defeated by Russia ISIS head-choppers and their supporters, they could also evacuate the defeated Ukrainian Nazis to the West as well, it is anyway part of the ongoing plan to ruin the western nations from inside. The mass migration lobby, with financial ties to billionaire George Soros, […]

Russian forces continue to invade Ukraine for the second day, causing mass panic in neighboring countries. Poland, which has a 326-mile border with Ukraine, is bracing for a wave of refugees. The spillover of chaos is also causing Polish people to panic hoard cash on Friday as bank ATMs run out of money, according to Bloomberg. The […]

When warmongers want a war they do everything possible to get and instigate one. Heavy fire and explosions have been reported on the contact line in Ukraine’s war-torn Donbass region, with Kiev’s forces and those loyal to the two breakaway self-declared republics accusing each other of aggression hours after the Kremlin warned fresh fighting could […]

A Review of Project Day Lily, An American Biowarfare Tragedy, by Garth L. Nicolson, Ph.D. and Nancy L. Nicolson, Ph.D., Xlibris Corporation, 2004 (568 pages).

A well-orchestrated campaign of defamation has assailed proponents of early treatment […]

In America, “democracy” or “democratic” are among the most common words used to justify or endorse positions or policies. “Democratic” is attached as an adjective whenever something is considered good politically (e.g., “our democratic way of life”), and “undemocratic” is attached to things being criticized (including almost everything that represents a loss for just about […]

“American colleagues at the Pentagon told me, unequivocally, that the US and UK never would allow European-Soviet (re: EU-Russia) relations to develop to such a degree that they would challenge the US-UK’s political, economic or military primacy and hegemony on the European continent. Such a development will be prevented by all necessary means, if necessary […]

The head of Hezbollah’s Executive Council, Hashem Safieddine, announced on 20 February that the Lebanese will take it upon themselves to build a “new Lebanon” if the external pressure on the country continues.

The coronavirus may go but, from cancer to AIDS, the mRNA vaccines are here to stay. The Covid19 narrative is broken, that battle is over. Yes, there are still pockets of token resistance, little embattled squares who aren’t ready to give up the ghost just yet, but for the most part the establishment are letting […]

A growing number of experts are urging the U.S. government to formally recognize natural immunity, or the protection given by recovering from COVID-19. More experts are arguing that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) recommended vaccination schedule should feature fewer doses—or none at all—for people who have contracted COVID-19 and survived. “Natural infection should count […]

Jens Stoltenberg, the secretary general of NATO who answers to Washington declared today (Feb 19) at the Munich Security Conference that “if the Kremlin’s aim is to have less NATO on its borders, it will only get more NATO.” He says NATO is beefing up its forces “across the alliance,” that is, in the NATO […]

The decision comes amid fears of a worsening conflict in Ukraine’s war-torn east Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced that Moscow has recognized the two self-declared breakaway Donbass republics in Ukraine’s east as sovereign nations, as a military standoff across the contact line continues to escalate. Speaking as part of a televised address to the nation […]

Here is an adapted version of my foreword to the book. It is impossible to overstate Alain Soral’s importance in France’s intellectual landscape for the last twenty years. Arguably, there are two kinds of French people today: those who think that “Soral a raison” (“Soral is right”) most of the time, and those who believe what they […]

As I sit down to write Tass has not yet announced Putin’s decision about Russia’s recognization of the Donetsk and Luhansk republics, formerly Russian territory that the Soviet government attached to Ukraine. However, as the decision of the Russian Security Council was unanimous, supported even by the pro-American Atlanticist Integrationist member, Putin will not go […]

 Fourth Super Bubble     For almost a half-century, value-investing icon Jeremy Grantham has been calling market bubbles. Now, he says U.S. stocks are in a “super bubble,” only the fourth in history, and poised to collapse. Please do yourself a big favor and play the above interview in entirety. It’s not a fluff interview. Bloomberg’s […]

Incompetent politicians and diplomats are on the level with ill-prepared generals fighting current wars with dated methods.  They err, they stumble, and they may well be responsible for the next idiotic slander, misfire or misunderstanding.  UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss is synonymous with Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s idea of groping diplomacy.  Graceless, all confusion, and much ignorance besides, […]

NEW YORK – Russian forces are driving the Ukraine army into pockets of envelopment, well-informed European military sources told Asia Times. “The Russians are in no hurry,” a European military intelligence analyst wrote in a text message. “They will engage and drive the Ukrainians into several pockets. Russia appears to be trying to minimize casualties—a […]

Blistering economic sanctions that threaten to ruin the ruble may leave Putin with little choice but to ally himself further with China and challenge the dollar head-on. The war being waged by Russia in Ukraine shows no signs of coming to any type of peaceful end. Meanwhile, it appears to me that a separate war […]

Leonid Savin The current confrontation between Russia and the West is not the result of a sudden confluence of circumstances: the contradictions have accumulated over the years and the issue is no longer just Ukraine, where in 2014 a coup d’état took place with the support of the United States, but rather presents opposing views […]

Those Democrats and globalists sure want a new war! It looks like Joe Biden is provoking the Russians this morning. This is making the rounds this morning. If you go to flight radar, you can see TYSON11 circling over central Poland. A current flight tracker shows a US B52 bomber circling over Poland on Monday.   […]

Western media are complicit in selling war propaganda by distorting the danger and falsely attributing the aggression to Russia.  Well, there it is for the whole to see. Great expectations and theatrical predictions that Russia would invade Ukraine this week failed spectacularly to materialize. But the situation is far from funny nor far from the […]

Early Wednesday, the President of Taiwan, Tsai Ing-wen, tweeted in support of Ukraine – while making clear that any attempts by China to ‘take’ Taiwan, now or later, will be met with force. “Taiwan condemns Russia’s infringement on Ukrainian sovereignty & encourages all parties involved to resolve their disputes rationally & peacefully,” she wrote. “Meanwhile, […]

Back in 2007, Jim Cramer famously screamed at Erin Burnett that the Fed “has no idea how bad it is out there… They know Nothing!” Today’s market would agree with Cramer, ZeroHedge reports. While stocks have been hammered by a relentless, furious pounding for much of 2022 which culminated today with the S&P officially entering a 10% […]

Pouring more weapons into Ukraine is not how you save lives; you save lives by negotiating a ceasefire. Pouring more weapons into Ukraine is how you create a long and expensive military quagmire for Russia at the cost of many thousands of lives to advance US strategic interests. While making a vast fortune for the […]

The entire world is filled with big governments and out of control central banks. Since the US fell for the Siren Song of big government in the 1910s, many other countries have followed suit. Now, against the backdrop of the pandemic, debt has exploded due to the profligate spending measures used to keep economies afloat […]

Introduction Kelly Denton-Borhaug, Planting a Million Seeds of Violence In her new piece, Kelly Denton-Borhaug discusses the eerie psychology of America’s elected representatives as they continue, using ever more staggering numbers of taxpayer dollars, to plant the seeds of future violence around the planet. And what a time for it when, from Ukraine to Asia, Syria to Africa, this country continues to play tag with […]

Shortly before 1am Kiev time Ukraine’s President Zelensky announced: “The enemy’s sabotage forces have entered the capital. Me and my family are remaining.”  “We need to talk about a ceasefire with Russia,” he added in the video message. Then what followed suggests the brutal reality is finally sinking in that despite years of ‘promises’ from Washington […]

Iran and the United States used to be the closest allies before the 1979 Iranian revolution, but now they are uncompromising enemies. Quite a peculiar political metamorphosis.  Makes one wonder how former close friends turned into such enemies in just over forty years? And why it is the US who is still full of such violent […]

President Putin’s pragmatic proposals should be seen as a public attempt to resolve the US-provoked crisis in Russian-Ukrainian relations that’s occurring within the context of the much more significant US-provoked missile crisis in Europe. Russian President Vladimir Putin shared several pragmatic proposals for improving relations with Ukraine during a press conference on Tuesday. These are that country’s […]

On Thursday’s broadcast of “CBS Evening News,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken responded to a question on whether the United States will cut off purchases of oil and gas from Russia over its invasion of Ukraine by stating that we’re trying to ensure “that we inflict maximum pain on Russia” while at the same time, […]

Genuine ‘grassroots revolution’ or NATO-backed coup? Here are the facts to help you decide. As Russia actually do launch an invasion or “special operation” in Ukraine, we thought now was a good time to recap on how we got here. The historical, political and ethnic divisions in Ukraine go back decades, if not centuries, but […]

Few are listening any more to the clueless Justin Trudeaus and bumbling Joe Bidens and all the toxic hypocrisies they embody… Canada is now governed by absurdism, and it is symptomatic of an ailing Western elite. Liberal Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau last week invoked martial law to arrest and financially destroy truckers on the […]

Pavel Kiselev The provocation of war on the territory of Ukraine was planned by the United States for a long time, and this seems to them the right step towards the destruction of Russia. In 2019, the US think tank RAND Corporation released a report on Russia’s weakening and demoralizing program called Overextending and Unbalancing […]

The Western countries will suffer every bit as much as Russia will, and quite possibly more considering that Russia has proven its ability to weather sanctions due to the growth of its domestic production base. Despite all the hysterical talk about a ‘Russian invasion’ of Ukrainian territory, Russian President Vladimir Putin, using nothing more dangerous […]

The energy sector is facing shortages on all sides, with commodity prices soaring around the world and very little hope that it will be solved in the near term. Frac sand is the latest vital material that the energy industry can’t get enough of, a shortage that will hinder the ability of U.S. shale producers […]

Is President Joe Biden responsible for today’s 40-year-high inflation? While it is politically expedient for opponents to lay the blame on the White House, there are many factors contributing to this inflationary environment, such as the Federal Reserve printing one-third of all U.S. dollars ever created in the nation’s history, the global supply chain crisis, and output […]

The U.S. military called it routine activity, but China called it “provocative” as a warship sailed through the Taiwan Strait on Saturday. According to the 7th Fleet, the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Ralph Johnson was transiting international waters on a “routine” basis. “The ship’s transit through the Taiwan Strait demonstrates the United States’ commitment […]

The move comes in response to hostile rhetoric by top NATO officials, Russia’s president has explained. President Vladimir Putin placed the country’s strategic deterrence forces on “special” alert on Sunday, announcing the move during a meeting with Russia’s Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu and Chief of Staff Valery Gerasimov. “Western countries are not only taking unfriendly actions against […]

When I was a kid – and the same with my parents when they were young – you could count on certain fundamentals in politics. The Chamber of Commerce represented business, and business generally favored free enterprise. Not always, but mostly. Small businesses could become big and big could become small, but they generally opposed […]

If Russia doesn’t invade Ukraine, there will be a lot of disappointed Progressives in this country.  The Left has been using Russia as the “bad guy” for years now.  Russia served well for a while to keep Trump preoccupied and prevent him from doing too much damage to their programs.  Now that Covid is winding […]

Prishtina says it is in an ‘immediate need’ of US military base (it already has a large US military base – Bondstil) to “maintain peace” in the Balkans. Back in 1999, NATO launched a 78-day illegal bombing campaign in former Yugoslavia committing war crimes against civilians, ostensibly to ‘protect civilians’ during an insurgency of ethnic […]

Western governments are increasingly using their power to decide what is ‘real’ or ‘fake’ news, and what is right or wrong. They are depriving citizens of the possibilities to decide for themselves, and to look into other opinions and alternative sources. If you, like me, were born in the late 20th century, you must have read […]

“No matter who tries to stand in our way… they must know that Russia will respond immediately, and the consequences will be such as you have never seen in your entire history…. I hope that my words will be heard.” Vladimir Putin issues warning to any country that tries to stop Russia’s “Special Operation” in […]

Dmitry Medvedev has called for tit-for-tat measures over the freezing of Russian assets abroad. Former President and Deputy Chairman of the Security Council Dmitry Medvedev says Moscow may nationalize foreign assets if Russians’ funds are seized by West. The former Russian president, Dmitry Medvedev, hasn’t ruled out nationalizing the Russian-based assets of foreigners registered in […]

Recognizing the Donbass Republics might be considered a so-called ‘escalation’ among some foreign observers who don’t have a proper understanding of the grand strategic dynamics at play but it’s actually a clever attempt to change the local military-political calculations. This is meant to encourage the US-led West and especially the increasingly independent French to enter […]

Ukrainian troops are leaving their positions and there is no threat to civilians, the Russian armed forces has said. Moscow insists its forces are not attacking cities. DPR, LPR militias conducting joint operation with Russian forces to liberate Donbass areas – DPR People’s Militia deputy commander Eduard Basurin said on Thursday. Ukrainian soldiers are abandoning their […]

Yesterday, President Trump proposed a full forensic audit of the Zuckerbucks used to buy the 2020 election while speaking at CPAC in Florida: “A Republican Congress should launch a select committee, as opposed to an unselect committee, to get to the bottom of big tech’s 2020 interference. Lets find out who made the decision to […]

On February 24, the Syrian Arab news agency SANA reported that the United States was sending another military escort to Syria, which again acknowledged Washington’s ongoing occupation policy in this Middle Eastern country. It has been continued since 2014 without any UN sanctions and without any permission from official Damascus authorities. The US military convoy […]

An American truckers convoy, reprising the hugely successful campaign in Canada in which drivers crossed most of the nation, ended up in Ottawa and convinced multiple provinces to drop COVID demands, has launched in California. It’s destination? Washington, D.C., where politicians already are fearing the sight of hundreds of drivers at the Capitol, and so […]

By Ye Xie, Bloomberg markets live commentator and analyst The U.S. expanded sanctions against Russia on Wednesday after President Vladimir Putin moved to recognize breakaway territories in Ukraine as independent states. The standoff may further Moscow’s de-dollarization movement and see the Chinese yuan play a more-important role in Russia’s trade and finance. The initial global implications from […]

The purpose of this piece is to debunk the top ten infowar narratives about this conflict in order to enlighten readers about the truth of what’s really happening and why. What comes next is a list of false narratives followed by the motivation behind them and then their concise debunking. Russia’s special operation to demilitarize […]

Nepali police fired tear gas and water cannons at protesters objecting to a U.S.-funded infrastructure program presented to parliament on Sunday for ratification, witnesses and officials in the capital told CNN. The protesters said the grant would undermine Nepal’s laws and sovereignty, and they said it wouldn’t provide enough oversight power to lawmakers with regard […]

The illegal Turkish military presence in Iraq is a blatant violation of that country’s territorial integrity. While Ankara claims it is a national security priority, it actually uses this military cover to influence and manage Iraqi and regional affairs. Almost 100 years after the Treaty of Ankara (1926), Iraq-Turkey relations remain fraught. Despite various disputes […]

Protesters forming a Freedom Convoy to converge on Paris and rally against national coronavirus restrictions will be blocked from entry, the French capital’s police authority said on Thursday. Paris and Brussels have been targeted by those demanding an end to social restrictions, inspired by demonstrators who have taken to the streets of the Canadian capital Ottawa and elsewhere. The […]

Moscow’s announcement that some troops are withdrawing from near the border with Ukraine has sparked a media storm. Does Russia’s order to pull back some troops from the Ukrainian border mean there will be no invasion as many predicted?  As Western leaders and pundits issued fresh warnings that a Russian invasion of Ukraine could take […]

“De-escalation and diplomacy are the only way to secure peace,” said British MP Jeremy Corbyn. The urgency of diplomatic steps to avert a war in Eastern Europe reached new heights Tuesday following Russian President Vladimir Putin’s move to recognize two breakaway regions in Ukraine as independent and deploy troops—described as peacekeeping forces—to the Donbas, heightening fears of […]

What I am writing here I have been warned against. As we move toward the last full week of February 2022, we are told that the world is at the brink of a war. But who believes this? Certainly, anyone reading the Western media, you know the ones, CNN, the BBC, the Guardian, all but […]

The Central Intelligence Agency has been collecting American’s private data without any oversight or even the minimal legal safeguards that apply to the NSA and FBI, an unconstitutional affront to our civil liberties. According to a declassified report released last week by the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (PCLOB), the CIA’s surveillance program is […]

President Donald Trump spoke where he said “it all started,” alongside the “great patriots of CPAC.” Donald Trump’s annual CPAC talks — no doubt allowed by organizers because of The Donald’s celebrity status — built his credibility in the years before his campaign. The last time he didn’t speak at CPAC was in 2016, when Conservatism Inc. […]

Every useful or pleasing claim about the war, no matter how unverified or subsequently debunked, rapidly spreads, while dissenters are vilified as traitors or Kremlin agents. In the weeks leading up to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, those warning of the possible dangers of U.S. involvement were assured that such concerns were baseless. The prevailing line […]

The Ukraine crisis bewilders Russians. And Europeans, too. Putin says he does not want to invade Ukraine. NATO has no proof Russia prepares invasion. If Ukraine prepares an attack, it will lose its statehood, Putin says. NATO demands Russia withdraw its 100,000 troops from Ukraine’s vicinity. Russia says the troops are stationed on its territory. […]

About those truckers… Like many, I have spent the last couple of weeks a bit entranced by the trucker protests happening in Canada (and now around the world, from Paris to Wellington). I initially tried to document here every twist and turn of the Freedom Convoy drama, but found it nearly impossible. Events continue to […]

The Biden administration may believe otherwise, but the truth is that the days when the United States could dictate how everyone else in the world is going to behave have come to an end.  Russia is demonstrating how weak the U.S. has become by moving troops into Donetsk and Luhansk.  And China keeps talking about […]

For the past 4 years – especially since the US ‘trade war’ on China started by the Trump administration in 2017 – Washington has been seeking ways to contain, roll-back on its gains and encircle China. The US ‘trade war’ was not something entirely new; in fact, it was a continuation of the Obama administration’s […]

Russia’s stock market dropped by 10% and the cost of insurance on Russian sovereign risk soared after President Vladimir Putin recognized the independence of Donetsk and Luhansk, the regions of East Ukraine controlled by pro-Russian separatists since 2014. Putin’s maneuver parallels the 1993 recognition of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, two breakaway districts of Georgia, after […]

Had Russia submitted to the US’ attempted nuclear blackmail, Washington would have immediately set its sights on China, after which it would have restored its declining unipolar hegemony over the planet if it subsequently succeeded in strategically neutralizing that country too. The author warned earlier this week that “Kiev Must Withdraw From Donetsk & Lugansk […]

An alleged Israeli airstrike near Syria’s capital of Damascus reportedly led to the deaths of three Syrian soldiers. Several Syrian military servicemen have been killed after missiles targeted an area in the vicinity of Damascus, Syria’s state media reported. The country’s anti-missile defenses shot down most of the projectiles that have also inflicted material damage, […]

If a decentralised, federal and, above all, denazified Ukraine is created – ethnic minorities will regain their language rights, Nazi symbols will disappear from the public space, and poverty and hopelessness could someday stop to be everyday challenge for Ukrainians First of all, in the current situation, let’s demand seriousness, not cabaret.  This is not […]

When our so-called western leaders tell you that Russia will invade the Ukraine and that they know exactly what day Russia will invade the Ukraine, without providing any evidence, you know that the western powers are up to something very sinister. The latest chapter in the American propaganda show went to a new level of […]

NATO has moved its staff in Ukraine, the representative of the bloc’s Information and Documentation Center says. The move comes amid clashes in the war-torn Donbass region. Amid an increasingly tense standoff in eastern Ukraine, NATO has sent personnel stationed at its Kiev mission to a city around 500km away to the west, as well […]

The US occupation of Syria is a violation of international law. Syria’s Envoy to the United Nations Bassam al-Sabbagh accused the United States and other NATO members, on 25 February, of hindering the efforts by the Syrian government to put an end to the 11 year-long and rebuild the country. In an address to the […]

The fact that Kiev received at least $200 million in U.S. “lethal aid” as well as other Western-made weapons over the past two months, means that Kiev rejects a peaceful solution. And Russian President Vladimir Putin has been offering this peaceful solution for years. Ukraine has been firmly in the U.S. geopolitical orbit since violent […]

Australia-China relations have soured in recent years as decoupling continues. Last week, the latest rumblings between the two nations occurred when a Chinese warship targeted an Australian spy plane with a laser, according to CNN. Economically, Australia has supplied China’s industries with commodities for decades. However, when the Australian government led an international call for the inquiry into […]

A lot of ink has been spilled lately on whether or not the USA and its NATO alliance promised the USSR that NATO would not expand into the space evacuated by the withdrawal of the Red Army from Europe. It is clear those promises were repeatedly made and clear they were repeatedly broken. There is […]

The UAE announced this month plans to buy a dozen L15 light trainer-attack aircraft from China and unveiled its first swarming drones with AI technology, the Gulf state’s latest effort to diversify its arms providers and bolster its defense industries. The UAE defense ministry announced it would sign a contract with the China National Aero-Technology […]

Over the last decade, Russia has been successfully strengthening its influence in different parts of the world: first and foremost, in the countries of Asia and Africa.  The trade turnover with them has been growing every year, including the countries of South-East Asia, where Indonesia – the most populous state in the region (274 million […]

The American truckers are gearing up for a massive protest in Washington DC in opposition to tyrannical COVID mandates. On Saturday, one of the largest groups that’s making its way to Washington – The Peoples Convoy – swelled to over 1,500 vehicles as it made its way through Texas, according to reports on the ground. In just […]

The Joe Biden administration’s ‘new’ Indo-Pacific strategy document contains nothing ‘new’ insofar as the cardinal objective of this strategy is concerned i.e., ‘encircling China.’ Interestingly enough, the strategy has been revealed despite the Biden administration’s various rhetorical claims that the administration is not seeking to build up a global coalition against China, or that they […]

The Kremlin has been very clear about its intentions in Ukraine since Russia initially invaded Crimea in 2014 and annexed it: President Vladimir Putin wants to return Russian-speaking regions of the former Soviet Union, notably those closest to Russia’s borders, to the Russian Federation. Putin will not abandon this quest. For him, it is an […]

Behind the battle to convince everyone that price inflation is not a lasting problem is the necessity to keep interest rates and bond yields suppressed. In the past, the interest rate cycle was entirely due to the expansion and contraction of commercial bank credit. But that was before central banks built up bond portfolios through […]

DONETSK, Ukraine Feb 24 (Reuters) – At least five explosions were heard in the separatist-held eastern Ukraine city of Donetsk early on Thursday, a Reuters witness said. Following the blasts, four military trucks could be seen heading for the scene. Hours earlier, the Kremlin said two separatist breakaway regions in Ukraine had asked for Russian […]

The prospect of a “high intensity” armed conflict involving major military powers has been a subject of reflection and concern in expert circles and the media for some years now, and as Statista’s Martin Armstrong notes, this issue has become even more topical with the recent rise in geopolitical tensions in Eastern Europe. According to a […]

India’s dilemma over humanitarian intervention is revisiting it, with Russia’s recognition of the two self-proclaimed Donbass republics of Donetsk and Lugansk as independent states. India is certainly not going to follow the Russian footfalls. The heart of the matter is that India has adopted a consistent position on issues involving genocide, human rights and self-determination. In 2008, […]

The world-acclaimed journalist, John Pilger, based in the UK, took to Twitter to voice his view of the West’s condemnation of Russia’s special military operation aiming to defend the people of Donbass as well as “demilitarise and denazify” Ukraine. The European and US leaderships have been called out on their “hypocrisy” by a veteran investigative […]

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has indicated Australia won’t send troops to Ukraine in the event of an invasion by Russia but will provide practical assistance to allies. U.S. President Joe Biden believes Russia’s Vladimir Putin has made a decision to invade Ukraine and will do so within weeks or days. Morrison said an invasion is “regrettably inevitable,” with intelligence […]

Turkey has recently been receiving a considerable amount of attention in the publications of various media outlets. However, much of the reporting revolves around the attitude of Ankara and the Turkish president himself towards various armed conflicts, where Turkey still plays a major role. One example of this is the Turkish leader’s offer to mediate […]

Considering Mauritius’ comparatively very limited capabilities in the face of the British Navy, it’ll likely have to remain content with symbolic acts of sovereignty for the time being. Be that as it is, the country can still generate significant attention for its cause if it manages to convince influential multipolar countries like Russia, China, and […]

Anti-vaccine demonstrators have ignored a warning from the authorities to leave voluntarily. New Zealand’s anti-vaccine mandate protest has continued to grow despite police telling demonstrators to leave voluntarily or be towed away.

I was thinking to title this article “Why There Will Be No Red Wave in November” but decided against it.  While I think there is a high probability that the Red Wave will not materialize, I felt that I needed to spend some time building a case first. For 250 years, nearly as long as […]

Legislation aims to make “digital courtroom” a permanent fixture of UK justice. Some of the UK’s “temporary” measures intended to help “deal with the pandemic” are going to be added to future legislation and made permament laws by the spring of this year. Of course, the truth is that many of the “temporary” Covid measures […]

The big wildcard in today’s dramatic escalation in tensions over east Ukraine, is how and when Beijing will react to Putin’s announcement recognizing the Donbass region as independent and immediately deploying “peacekeeping” forces to Donetsk and Lugansk. A hint as to what may be coming, came earlier on Monday when China said it would impose […]

President Vladimir Putin has ordered the Russian military to “secure the peace” in the newly recognized Donetsk and Lugansk republics, which were formerly considered to be part of Ukraine..

Former President Donald Trump has praised Russia’s Vladimir Putin for his strategy in eastern Ukraine, arguing that the Russian leader outmaneuvered Joe […]

Whatever we may think of Putin, he is no Stalin. He has not murdered millions or created a gulag archipelago. Nor is he “irrational,” as some pundits rail. He does not want a war with us, which would be worse than ruinous to us both. Putin is a Russian nationalist, patriot, traditionalist and a cold […]

What is the Purpose of the United Nations? The UN was created after WWII’ to replace the ineffective League of Nations.   It was based on the Four Major allies of the globe; Soviet Union, the US, China, and the UK under New Deal aspirations magistrate – FDR. The UN Charter which was signed by 50 countries was […]

When Klaus Schwab – whose oppressive dictatorial tyranny implemented by the corrupt governments he boasted “he penetrated” we endure and fight against in the last two years – sides with someone then it obviously must be someone who is also for “freedom, welfare and bright future for all of us”, isn’t it so? Hence we […]

When NBC’s Lester Holt asked President Joe Biden what might prompt him to send U.S. troops to rescue Americans fleeing Ukraine, Biden replied: “There’s not. That’s a world war when Americans and Russia start shooting at one another.” “It’s not like we’re dealing with a terrorist organization. We’re dealing with one of the largest armies […]

According to numbers released by the US government, consumer prices have increased by 7.5 percent in the past year, the steepest increase since 1982. The actual price increases are even worse than the government numbers suggest, given that the “official” statistics are manipulated to understate the real rate of price increases. According to John Williams […]

Washington has gotten so big and filled with far too many unelected people drunk on power who want to control the American people. We all agree that Washington is broken. It is one of the few things that people on both sides can agree. Washington has gotten so big and filled with far too many […]

The UK government is planning to re-work its human rights law to put an increased emphasis on “personal responsibility” and “duties to the wider society”, as well as preventing people “abusing” their rights. Sounds pretty awful, doesn’t it? But let’s go back to the beginning. In December 2020 the UK government announced they would be looking into […]

The undeclared US-provoked missile crisis in Europe is practically a modern-day version of the Cuban Missile Crisis, albeit with the roles reversed. This is the objectively existing and easily verifiable truth of what’s now the worst strategic security crisis in history considering the fact that this one just went hot whereas its precursor remained cold…Hopefully […]

Tensions between the United States and China exist across a wide spectrum of areas, from economics to geopolitics. Among the many flashpoint issues defining this growing confrontation is the “Taiwan question.” Officially, the United States recognizes what is known as the “One China Policy.” The US State Department’s own webpage regarding US-Taiwan relations explicitly states: […]

Within the next couple of months it is likely that there will be direct US military involvement in Ukraine, with Russia now openly supporting and recognizing separatist groups in the Donbass region on the eastern edge of the country and apparently moving to aid them militarily in separation. This is not the first time Russia […]

Global outrage has continued to grow since the Biden administration stole Afghanistan’s foreign reserves with nearly 23 million Afghans facing acute hunger.

In […]

In perhaps the most predictable column of the year, the Wall Street Journal last week featured a column by Walter Russell Mead declaring it’s “Time to Increase Defense Spending.” Using the Beijing Olympics and the potential Ukraine war to push for funneling ever more taxpayer dollars into military spending, Mead outlines how military spending ought to […]

Ottawa police put an end to the “Freedom Convoy” protest in the downtown district that lasted for three weeks. On Friday and Saturday, officers arrested demonstrators and seized their vehicles.

  Here’s a quick quiz: How do we know the new developments in special counsel John Durham’s investigation are important? Answer: Because the New York Times and Washington Post claim they aren’t important.  Big Media’s messengers for the Deep State are nothing if not consistent. For years they sold the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax as the greatest story […]

Those who most flamboyantly proclaim that they are fighting fascists continue to embrace and wield the defining weapons of despotism – Glenn Greenwald When it comes to distant and adversarial countries, we are taught to recognize tyranny through the use of telltale tactics of repression.

Sergey Karaganov argues Moscow is taking a new tack with the West, and is increasingly resistant to sanctions and political pressure  Moscow’s confrontation with NATO is just the start It seems like Russia has entered a new era of its foreign policy – a ‘constructive destruction’, let’s call it, of the previous model of relations […]

Russia has for a couple months insisted that it has no plans to invade Ukraine, even as positioned extra forces in the south near the border, but the Kremlin is now issuing fresh warnings on its ‘red lines’ after reports emerged that Ukraine has requested THAAD missile systems from the US military. The missiles – to […]

The situation at the southern border has been so bad that it can’t wait three more years for a new administration to step in, and border states have the constitutional authority to defend themselves, according to Russ Vought, former director of the Office of Management and Budget under the Trump administration. “We have a real crisis along […]

It’s hard to exaggerate just how energized the Washington elite has been by the outbreak of war in Europe. The resurgent Russian menace clearly portends a prosperous future of ever larger defense budgets, not to mention offering a much-needed reprieve from the domestic tumult of a fraying political system. Of course, it all very well […]
