By snubbing Zelensky, Africa set several very important examples for the rest of the world. Zelensky was utterly humiliated after only four African leaders out of the continent’s 55 nations tuned in to his virtual meeting with the African Union, one of whom was the group’s chairman and thus had to do so due to protocol. This […]

Ankara and Moscow have put forward potential solutions to briefly reopen three Ukraine’s Black Sea ports, with Russia offering safe passage to ships while Turkey said it could help guide vessels around Ukrainian naval mines deployed to stall the Russian advance. Russia’s UN Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia told reporters on Wednesday that the Kremlin is open to creating […]

Let’s get the 900 U.S. troops out of Syria and away from any war with Russia or Iran. Memorial Day or Decoration Day (referring to the decoration of the graves of soldiers killed in combat) began after the Civil War and has been commemorated since 1868. It is no wonder that the mourning began then. Historian […]

The fact of the matter is that African countries are more sovereign than Central & Eastern European ones nowadays, the first of which bravely snubbed Zelensky and refused to sanction Russia while the second dutifully comply with whatever their American overlord demands. The Washington Post (WaPo) published a piece over the weekend titled “In Africa, […]

Is it possible that the war we thought we won in 1945 was merely a battle within a larger war for civilization whose outcome yet remains to be seen? The decision recently expressed by the Finnish and Swedish governments to join NATO’s collective suicide pact shouldn’t come as a huge surprise to anyone who has […]

By calling a spade a spade and publicly discussing the open secret that all countries are primarily driven by the pursuit of what their leaderships sincerely regard as their objective national interests, MEA Jaishankar is doing a global service by removing the taboo that’s informally surrounded any talk about this fact. Minister of External Affairs […]

The Guardian has put out a smear piece on critics of the imperial Syria narrative that reads like propaganda made by seven year-olds without adult supervision. The article was initially released under the headline “Russia-backed network of Syria conspiracy theorists identified,” which was then hastily edited to “Network of Syria conspiracy theorists identified,” because the […]

It has become easier over the last month for governments to kill or imprison journalists whom they want to silence. But the most sinister aspect of this assault on freedom of speech is that it is facing such limited resistance from the very media that is under attack. US intelligence agencies concluded in a report […]

During 212 years of Colombia’s national independence, the propertied and wealthy classes, with military backing, have held the reins of power. Gustavo Petro and Francia Marquez, presidential and vice-presidential candidates of the Historical Pact coalition, scored a first-round victory in elections held on May 29. They are forerunners of a new kind of government for […]

Ukraine and Syria are of premier national security importance for Russia and Turkey respectively, which is why it’s important for both Great Powers to not directly interfere with the other’s operations there even if they sincerely regard them as illegitimate and don’t shy away from publicly saying so. Turkish President Erdogan recently revealed that his […]

The world watched in varying states of mind as the Davos set enjoyed its annual turn on the world stage, supping on sumptuous Atlantic crab and fresh Iberian pork, sustainable Norweigian cod, and the best Italian coffee. When not tucking into a lavish feast, they bandied about their ideas for how the world ought to […]

Shane Quinn During president George W. Bush’s two terms in office (2001-2009), his administration’s policies typically favoured America’s richest, and whose wealth had already increased greatly since the early 1980s under neoliberal policies. The Bush administration reduced taxes without proper justification, while many ordinary American families could no longer guarantee a college education for their […]

Shane Quinn The US-NATO military intervention against Libya, which began on 19 March 2011, served to discredit American power further and that of its military arm NATO. Between 31 March and 22 October 2011, NATO aircraft carried out 26,281 sorties over Libyan territory, with the principal intention of toppling the government of Muammar Gaddafi, who […]

An investigation found that many Saudi-led airstrikes were “carried out by jets developed, maintained, and sold by U.S. companies, and by pilots who were trained by the U.S. military.” A leading peace group on Monday said a new report detailing the depth of U.S. support for Saudi-led airstrikes in Yemen—hundreds of which have been called […]

Franco-Mali relations have been feverish for the past two years, following the August (2020) coup in Mali, when President Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta was replaced by the military. And for an outside observer it looks like a bout of split personality in Paris. France has announced, since June 2021, through the mouth of its President E. Macron, […]

“Rejection of Russian energy resources means that Europe will become the region with the highest energy costs in the world. This will seriously undermine the competitiveness of European industry which is already losing the competition to companies in other parts of the world…. Our Western colleagues seem to have forgotten the elementary laws of economics, […]

In October 2020 Damascus hosted the grand opening of the Embassy of the Republic of Abkhazia in the Syrian Arab Republic.

Offering his mediation, France’s president said that Zelensky ‘is going to have to negotiate with Russia’ in the future. Kiev will have to negotiate with Moscow at some point, French President Emmanuel Macron has said.  French President Emmanuel Macron said on Wednesday that his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky will have to restart negotiations with Russia […]

For the past two years, the US has been actively trying to rally the Arab world around Israel, to solve the “Palestinian issue” in American terms and to force Palestine to resolve the conflict with Israel through Donald Trump’s “deal of the century,” which has a clear bias in favor of the Jewish state. Washington […]

Beijing influence has been hard to curb partly because of a lack of alignment between the political and military leadership of the west, on the one hand, and Western business elites engaging in trade with China, on the other, said panelists at a hearing held by the American Enterprise Institute think tank on June 14. […]

A few weeks back, at the World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting in Davos, Bill Gates said some surprising things. In the course of a 56-minute panel discussion the vaccine pusher extraordinaire admitted (starting at the 18:22 mark) that the Covid vaccines do not block infection and that the duration of whatever protection they bring to the […]

This week I had a chance to interview my friend Andy Schectman, President & Owner of Miles Franklin Precious Metals, a company that has done more than $5 billion in sales.

  Alexander Dugin The number one news story in the world today is not Russia’s SMO or the collapse of the western economy, but the US Supreme Court’s decision to revise the 1973 Roe Wade ruling and overturn the constitutional guarantees of the right to terminate a pregnancy. Now the issue of abortion has been […]

Another food processing plant went up in flames. According to local news Stevens Point Journal, a fire ripped through a pizza-making plant in Wisconsin on Monday.  More than 70 firefighters from multiple fire departments battled a massive fire at Festive Foods in eastern Portage County that began around 0900 local time. The American Red Cross arrived on […]

I know you probably get tired of me saying this but the Euro-zone is headed for a massive crisis.  On Thursday, June 9th, the ECB came out with its policy statement, less than one week before the next FOMC meeting statement (June 14th). It was a doozy.  Christine Lagarde attempted early on to project that […]

When McDonald’s shuttered operations in Russia as part of the western corporate war on Vladimir Putin’s country, my family began a boycott of the fast-food chain. It’s been a little painful, but not for the reasons you might think. None of us miss the McBurps (greasy belches) McDonald’s food always causes. We do, however, miss […]

NATO will enlarge, because it only wants to threaten and in the end defeat Russia. A lot has happened in the past months, but one thing has not been given sufficient attention: we need to talk about NATO. And I don’t mean NATO as one of the main causes of the Ukraine crisis, we all […]

There’s a lesson to be learned from Sri Lanka’s experience, which is that the pursuit of strategic autonomy and the enhanced sovereignty that it leads to enables countries to keep the largest number of options open during times of crisis. The Indian Ocean island nation of Sri Lanka is being crushed by the worst economic […]

Europe’s natural gas prices jumped Thursday after one of the US’ largest liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminals experienced an explosion on Wednesday and has been shut down. A large share of the terminal’s LNG has been destined for Europe as the continent weens off Russian supplies. Been in the Freeport area all day for an “incident” […]

An Iranian shipping company, the Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Line Group (IRISL), has started a pilot transit of cargo between Russia and India, through the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC), a major international shipping route for the Indo-Russian trade. Iranian officials have said that the move will help boost Iran’s transit revenue This comes […]

At the end of the day, while the bifurcation of the world into sovereign states and colonies isn’t as clear-cut as some might think, President Putin’s observation is nonetheless an extremely accurate albeit simplified way of understanding the global systemic transition to multipolarity. Countries will either voluntarily remain colonies of the US-led West or will […]

The Liberals are intent on funneling ever more of our collective resources to bolster the US Empire, spending lavishly to “modernize” Canada’s chief bi-national military accord. Early this week, Canada’s Defense Minister Anita Anand announced the government would spend $4.9 billion to upgrade the North American Aerospace Defense Command. The federal government said it will […]

It’s called Bilderberg, & not a single major media outlet has reported on it. The CEO of Pfizer, the head of the CIA, the Director of the NSC, the VP of Facebook, the King of Holland and the Secretary General of NATO are all secretly meeting right now behind closed doors in DC.  Every year, […]

The foreign currency reserves generated by Iranian exports of oil, gas, and petrochemicals went up by more than 60% between 21 March and 21 May, as reported by the Iranian oil ministry’s news agency Shana.
