When Biden left for the day, Corn Pop was waiting for him, with three gang members, and holding a straight razor… Whatever the reality of that event, 60 years ago, Biden has issued, in his 18 months in office, a remarkable number of warnings and threats as to what he would do as commander in […]

What makes this modus operandi so amusing is that “NAFO” received their avatar after donating to the “Georgian Legion”, so a NATO-backed mercenary group has ironically crafted the same images that will in turn be exploited to maximally amplify so-called “Russian propaganda” via their donors’ inadvertent triggering of the algorithm to that end. The West’s […]

The US Air Force grounded its fleet of fifth-generation F-35 Joint Strike Fighter jets due to new concerns over ejection seat safety just days after the Navy grounded planes for the same reason.  Air Combat Command (ACC) spokeswoman Alexi Worley confirmed to Breaking Defense that ACC-controlled F-35s are in temporary stand-down while explosive cartridges used inside ejection […]

Every day, we hear stories about racial double standards, hypocrisy, and progressives’ absurd positions. Many of our opponents are not just sincere but fanatical. Evidence can’t compete with moral fervor. Those who rule the West, and many of those they rule, truly believe in a creed that is blind. Dr. Paul Gottfried’s Antifascism: The Course […]

The Biden administration seeks to liberate “trans youth” from their “non-affirming” family members. In The Progressive Era, Murray Rothbard described a fight between Protestants and Catholics for control of San Francisco public schools. John Swett, one of the leading figures in California public education in the middle of the 19th century, believed that “children arrived at […]

Alienating half the country is not a wise strategy of military recruitment. The U.S. Army has met only 40 percent of its 2022 recruiting goals.   In fact, all branches of the military are facing historic resistance to their current recruiting efforts. If some solution is not found quickly, the armed forces will radically shrink or be […]

A cardiovascular surgeon at Okamura Memorial Hospital’s Center for Varicose Veins (Japan) authored a study published in the Virology Journal that reiterates the fact that Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) “vaccines” are an immune destroyer.

UK High Court rejects the demand by the Venezuelan government to return the country’s gold stored in the Bank of England, media reports. The UK High Court rebuffed a demand by the Venezuelan government to be granted access to some […]

It’s understandable why people would be offended by a foreign leader telling them to place his country’s interests above their own and to not care about inflation. It’s beyond disrespectful after they’ve already suffered enough to help him. Zelensky isn’t ever happy, however, unless he hears about more wealth being redistributed from Americans to Ukrainians. […]

The narrative of “Turkish trouble” isn’t new since it’s been circulating around the West for the past half-decade already at least since the failed summer 2016 coup against President Erdogan that he blames on a radical US-based cleric who his government officially designated as a terrorist. The New York Times published a provocative piece over […]

US President Joe Biden is acting out the script written for the so-called “Obama Doctrine” perfectly. Which is no small feat considering the man seems narcoleptic. The truly sad part of all this is that the people of the countries involved do not want war. The world does not want more war. We are sick […]

Deep state rulers ban people from discussing online yet another important social issue. Abortion has been added to topics YouTube will police under its “misinformation” banner. The Google-owned service will tag searches and videos mentioning abortion with a banner promoting “authoritative” sources.

It is an uncomfortable job for anyone trying to draw the line between “harmful content and protecting freedom of speech. It’s a balance”, Aaron says. In this official Facebook video, Aaron identifies himself as the manager of “the team that writes the rules for Facebook”, determining “what is acceptable and what is not.” Thus, he […]

The ECB’s announcement on Thursday July 21 of a “new instrument” for tackling “fragmentation risk” is ominous for the future of the euro. The idea is to pre-empt the emergence of serious break-up risk for the euro-zone as the policy interest rate continues to move higher in coming quarters towards “neutral.” Chief Lagarde and her […]

“If the indigenes had advanced beyond the state of nature only so far as to have developed language and the community of the family, but no further; if they had not yet mixed their labour with the earth in any permanent way; or if the region were literally uninhabited, then Europeans considered it to be […]

The Hungarian leader said his citizens want Brussels to stay out of the country’s energy policy. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has lambasted an EU plan to reduce gas consumption by 15%. Unless the bloc […]

Gogoi’s game is to gaslight the public into forgetting everything they’ve learned about the complex intricacies of defense and foreign policy formulation, especially regarding China, and instead accept his innuendo that decades-long disputes can be resolved within days if only Delhi were to exert maximum pressure on the People’s Republic. Outsider observers have fallen under […]

Think tanks across Australia, tanked with cash from US sources and keen to think in furious agreement, are all showing how delighted they are with the AUKUS security pact and what potential it has for local, if subordinated industry.  The United States Studies Centre, a loudspeaker for Washington’s opinions based at the University of Sydney, […]

Developments in recent months clearly show that Saudi Arabia is steadily moving beyond being only a religious Mecca, becoming more and more also a center of political and innovative global gravity. This is not only evidenced by the attempt by Washington, which is losing more and more of its hegemonic position every day, to secure […]

Corporate media are ignoring the stark implications of Russia’s stated intention to take control of more Ukrainian territory than just Donetsk and Luhansk. I discussed this on The Critical Hour yesterday and supplement those thoughts in the paragraphs below. On Wednesday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announced Moscow’s broadened aims, explaining, “Now the geography is different. It’s […]

The assassination of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on July 8, 2022 is the first murder of a politician of this rank in the history of post-war Japan.

I have been writing about the concept of decentralization since around 2006, well before the threat of the woke takeover and the culture war became obvious. The idea is a rather simple one (most ideas that work are simple): If the corrupt system does not or will not provide what the public needs or wants […]

Faina Savenkova, Lugansk, Two events have recently occurred in the world. In America – in the suburbs of Chicago – people died during the celebration of Independence Day.

French president is cultivating a military image. Will transforming into a pro-American version of the fiercely independent Charles De Gaulle wash with the public?

This year marks exactly 50 years since the establishment of ties between the United States and the People’s Republic of China.

It will hardly be a revelation for anyone that the United States, being historically the “stepchild” of Europe from where the mass-scale population of the New World began, has always manifested a jealous attitude towards their Alma Mater. This process has especially aggravated in the recent decades when America entered the path of severe competitive […]

Greed is good until all the vulnerabilities and fragilities of systemic risk asymmetries manifest. When you put too many eggs in one basket, you create systemic fragility: if anything knocks that basket over, the loss is so overweighted that the entire system unravels. Why do we put too many eggs in one basket? because it’s […]

It looks like we are going to get official confirmation that a recession has already begun when the GDP number for the second quarter comes out later this week.  But that isn’t what we should be focusing on.  Yes, things weren’t great during the first half of 2022, but they are going to be significantly […]

On May 9, the Philippines held presidential and vice presidential elections, which were a significant event in the development of the situation in the Indo-Pacific region.

The Russians are readying a major offensive. I am not a military expert, nor am I an intelligence analyst by trade, but on the other hand, I’m not a windbag nor is my keyboard for hire under any circumstances. The latter has made me a lot of enemies over the past eight years, as any of […]

While Western governments and the Western media continue clinging to the hope of an eventual “victory” for Kiev’s forces in Ukraine, the “frontline” is quietly being moved back to western Ukraine and even Poland just across the border.

The “loss” of China in 1949 was perhaps the heaviest blow to strike American hegemony in the post-World War II era, and it is felt increasingly to this day.

Only “truly sovereign” states will succeed after “enormous” geopolitical transformations, the Russian leader claimed. The Western-dominated “unipolar” world will give way to a “fairer” order, Russian President Vladimir Putin said. Vladimir Putin asserted that the “globalist” world order is “totalitarian” and is “holding back creative pursuit.” Putin claimed that the west had only achieved its […]

The insistence that there is a noble way of fighting war, one less bloody and brutal, has always been the hallmark of forces self-described as civilised. Restraint characterises their behaviour; codes of laws follow in their wake, rather than genocidal impulses. Killing, in short, is a highly regulated, disciplined affair. The failed wars and efforts […]

Ukraine corrupt puppet “president” Volodymyr Zelensky was eviscerated by social media users over his Vogue photoshoot with his wife, First Lady Olena Zelenska, which transpired while Kiev continues to lose the war with Russia liberating more and more territories.

For months, the West has been projecting a geopolitics of “isolating” Russia, both economically via sanctions and diplomatically via creating anti-Russia counter alliances around the world.

The trio of the Sanctions War, Green Energy Crusade and the Virus Patrol is a mortal threat to capitalist prosperity.

The real growth rate in the […]

I pose this question because I am genuinely puzzled and shocked by the anti-Russian bigotry, not only with respect to U.S. policy, but also the irrational prejudice evident among so many Americans. The hatred might make sense if Russia had attacked the United States and killed millions. Anger over such bloodshed would be rational and […]

In a way Hitler won WW II. Jewish cultural Marxists fled Germany and brought their “march through the institutions” to America.

A crisis is brewing on the streets of Europe. Mario Draghi’s defenestration has left the Italian — and indeed international — establishment reeling in horror. This is not surprising.

I know, you’re probably sick and tired of hearing about the Rise of the New Normal Reich. You want it to be over. So do I. It isn’t over … not by a long shot. It might seem like it’s over where you are. I imagine it does if you live in Florida, or in Texas, […]

Tectonic shifts continue to rage through the world system with nation-states quickly recognizing that the “great game” as it has been played since the establishment of the Bretton Woods monetary system in the wake of the second World War, is over.

Recently we discussed why the masses adopt redistribution/egalitarianism — because it means more status and money for them. This week we’re going to discuss why the elites adopt redistribution/egalitarianism, since, after all, aren’t they the ones losing something by redistributing? Why then, do they unequivocally endorse giving away money and status? What’s in it for […]

I hate to snuff out any post-Independence Day fervor that you still might be enjoying. Oh, well. “Wet Blanket” is my middle name.

In Stephen Vincent Benet’s “The Devil and Daniel Webster,” the tale is told that if you approached Webster’s grave and called out his name, a voice would boom in reply, “Neighbor, how stands the Union?” “Then you better answer the Union stands as she stood, rock-bottomed and copper-sheathed, one and indivisible, or he’s liable to […]

When the corrupt installed warmongering puppet gets into the last stage of paranoia and sees even his own appointee and childhood friend Bakanov as “suddenly pro-Russian”, then it seems that truth may be that a large majority of the Ukrainian population is pro-Russian or Russian too.

Systemic corruption on this vast scale optimizes failure and collapse. Debating which nations will “win” as the global economy unravels is a popular but pointless parlor game. Since the status quo in every nation is deeply, profoundly, systemically corrupt, there won’t be any “winners,” there will only be losers. Apologists love to say that corruption has […]
