A majority of Americans agree that the US government is “corrupt and rigged against everyday people like me,” including 73% of voters who describe themselves as a “strong Republican,” 71% who called themselves “very conservative,” and 68% of rural voters. More than a quarter of Americans – 28% – said that it might “soon be […]

The Washington Post recently published an op-ed purportedly written by President Joe Biden that tried to justify his visit with Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the psychopath who ordered the murder, dismemberment and dissolution in acid of Jamal Khashoggi, a columnist for — wait for it — The Washington Post. Let’s hope MbS […]

This July 4th, a larger-than-usual shadow is cast upon America which has come face-to-face with some serious historic reckonings. While the existence of an oligarchy and international “deep state” should not be ignored as a political force of history- arranging wars, assassinations and promoting economic enslavement of people and nations throughout the centuries, the guilt […]

Discontent against the illegal presence of US troops in Syria is growing, as the US continues to steal Syria’s natural resources and provide training for extremist armed groups. The Syrian Arab Army (SAA), along with local citizens from the village of Al-Mujaibara, have expelled a US army convoy that tried to break into an area […]

The emerging pattern is that Russian-Vietnamese relations represent a model for cooperation between big and medium countries wherein the first-mentioned helps the second relieve pressure upon it from one or the other superpower, in this case China. Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov visited Vietnam en route to Bali to attend a G20 Summit, during which time […]

The EU has facilitated grain deliveries from Ukraine using alternative logistics routes, according to the bloc’s foreign-policy chief. Brussels has facilitated the export flows via its so-called “solidarity lanes,” top diplomat says. The European Union has accelerated the export of Ukrainian grain, almost doubling the volume of shipments in June, the EU’s foreign policy chief […]

The power of the people is unbeatable whenever the people are truly united behind a cause greater than themselves such as their country’s sovereignty and anything related to its existential defense. Pakistanis both present and past have suffered so much to preserve their hard-earned independence and won’t let it be stolen from them by elite […]

When it comes to fact-based analysis, I’ll take so-called ‘Russian propaganda’ over ‘Ukrainian truth’ every day. Ukraine’s ‘Center for Countering Disinformation’ has put me, and a host of other honest analysts, on a blacklist of ‘Russian propagandists’. In 1997 I flew into Kiev, on-mission with the United Nations Special Commission to seek the assistance of […]

Today is July 4th, Independence Day. And, in the world of the New Normal, maybe that’s something we should all celebrate. The United States of America has become a corrupt Imperial juggernaut, chewing up the world and spitting out bones. We have all seen warmongers and tyrants prop up the corpses of Jefferson and Washington and […]

How much gold will you trade for a few eggs? It depends on how hungry you are. Two ideas will help us understand the rest of this tumultuous decade: core-periphery and the revaluation of what’s truly important: systemic adaptability, transparency, accountability, risk, capital and resources. I recently discussed the core-periphery model in a blog post, Crash Is […]

Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto says his government has contingency plans for military action in Ukraine. Budapest needs to protect ethnic Hungarians living in the western part of the bordering country, FM Peter Szijjarto has said. Hungary has military plans on how to protect ethnic Hungarians living in western Ukraine, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto has […]

The West, in its intention to hurt Russia with sanctions, has shot itself in the foot, many media outlets have been writing for a while now. The result is high inflation, energy and food shortages, recession, and many political and social problems that Europeans don’t know how to deal with. The IMF itself admits that […]

Germany’s new leadership has gone “all in” on its alliance with the US, overturning a strategy that had underpinned its success What was known as the “memory culture” was an essential element of the foreign policy strategy of post-war Germany. Wise leaders were able to gradually restore the importance of the country on the international […]

When one thinks about liberation, the first thing that comes to the minds of many is Africa’s decolonization cause, which regrettably hasn’t yet been completed in full. It therefore naturally follows that if Russia wants to obtain credibility for its global revolutionary manifesto, then it must actively support Africa in finally finishing this process, ergo […]

China is again conducting major military exercises in waters around Taiwan, according to state media reports, which further decried US support to Taiwan separatist forces as “futile”.   China’s Defense Ministry was cited in Reuters as describing the drills as a warning aimed at the visit of a US senator. It said “China firmly opposes the visit […]

Since the late 1970s, Noam Chomsky and Edward S. Herman have written a series of books about the United States’ involvement in so-called “state terrorism.” Chomsky and Herman, in their publications, concluded that the global rise in state terror was the result of US foreign policy. The fact that the United States and its allies sponsored […]

After calling on all member states to reduce gas consumption by 15% in the face of the threat of a complete Russian gas cutoff, the IEA says the European Union will need to cut even more in order to get through the winter.  “Even if there is no single accident… #Europe still needs to reduce its gas […]

The Democrat and Republican parties have been wielding social movements as weapons in a culture war. Is it time the Libertarian Party wields the Bitcoin hammer in the battle against the Federal Reserve? In the cypherpunk mailing list, Satoshi Nakamoto had a back-and-forth exchange with an unknown cryptographer: “You will not find a solution to political problems […]

The former leader appeared to be unresponsive at the scene, according to Kyodo News. Shinzo Abe, former prime minister of Japan, collapsed during a speech after gunshots were reportedly heard, according to Japanese public broadcasting agency NHK. Japan’s ex-Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has been rushed to the hospital after apparently being shot while giving a speech, […]

The European energy crunch is set to worsen this week after Norwegian offshore oil and gas workers went on strike, threatening to sever the Scandinavian country’s energy supplies to the UK and Europe, according to Reuters.  As much as 1,117,000 barrels of oil equivalent, or 56% of daily natural gas exports, while 341,000 barrels of oil […]

On 27 September 2021, the brilliant geostrategic analyst Brian Berletic headlined “US War Plans with China Taking Shape”. He linked to and analyzed the then-latest draft of the U.S. Government’s detailed plans to conquer China. (The plan had been drawn-up in 2016, but sounds like today.) The objective of these plans is for the U.S. Government […]

At present the world is divided into two major camps on the principle of global redistribution of resources. One of these two groups consists of the BRICS group, with a population of 3.2 billion people, dominated by such giants as China, India and Russia, plus their allies around the world. The other group consists of […]

The White House keeps insisting that it will not directly involve American soldiers in the war in Ukraine, but it keeps taking steps that will inevitably lead to a large-scale open combat role for the US against Russia. Among the most recent moves to increase the pressure on the Kremlin, Biden revealed at a NATO summit meeting […]

Not since Wile E Coyote’s repeated failures to nab the Road Runner have we seen debacles like the ones now unfolding in the UK and Europe as a consequence of their misguided effort to destroy Russia. Germany’s economy is on the precipice. With an economy dependent of the import of oil and gas from Russia, German […]

The irony is that the suppression of dissent is the suppression of competing ideas that generate systemic stability via rapid adaptation. Nations that appear stable may fail once they’re under pressure. What do I mean by “under pressure”? Pressure can come from many sources: invasion, civil war, prolonged scarcities of essentials, natural disasters, financial crises, droughts, […]

So, Joe Biden, the alleged President of America, was supposed to go to this meeting with the Arabs and beg them for oil. Instead, the wacky sonovabitch strapped a bomb to his chest and ran into a crowd of sheiks, yelling “Ukrainia Akbar!” before clicking the detonator. Reuters: President Joe Biden told Arab leaders on Saturday […]

There’s a passage in Ernest Hemingway’s 1926 novel The Sun Also Rises in which a character named Mike is asked how he went bankrupt. “Two ways,” he said. “Gradually, then suddenly.” It reveals a lot when it comes to success and failure. It’s the way states go bankrupt, banks collapse, currencies implode, and prime ministers […]

One of the outcomes of the alleged new SARS Covid virus that publicly emerged in 2019 is that the medical specialization of virology has been raised to a stature almost Godlike in the media. Few understand the origins of virology and its elevation into a leading role in today’s medicine practice. For this we need […]

The US has been accused of recruiting hundreds of ISIS, HTS, and Al-Qaeda militants to fight on the side of Kiev. The CIA is actively working to recruit ISIS militants imprisoned by the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in northeast Syria to join the fight against the Russian army in Ukraine. According to an informed […]

When Donald Trump first got into office, it became apparent that his political instincts were good. He certainly proved that by beating 16 other seasoned Republican politicians by knowing exactly how to appeal to ordinary Americans who had long been ignored by the Washington elite in both parties. But what Trump could never overcome was the massive […]

In the recent Wall Street Journal article “Inflation Surge Earns Monetarism Another Look,” Greg Ip writes that a recent surge in inflation is not likely to bring authorities to reembrace monetarism. According to Ip, money supply had a poor record of predicting US inflation because of conceptual and definitional problems that haven’t gone away. The head of […]

The Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov announced in Moscow on Tuesday that President Vladimir Putin will travel to Tehran on July 19, to take part in a tripartite meeting with his Iranian and Turkish counterparts as part of the Astana peace process to end the war in Syria as well as hold a bilateral meeting with […]

The entire country is at risk of blackouts this summer, say analysts. And the independent media is pointing to green energy as one of the culprits. On July 4, Power the Future founder and executive director Daniel Turner told Fox News that a “huge energy shortage” is underway and that there is no place “that is truly […]

Defense minister is offering Western manufacturers “a good chance” to test arms on Ukrainian battlefield inviting foreign arms manufacturers to use it as a polygon-like site for testing new weapons in battlefield conditions. Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov on Tuesday openly offered Ukraine as a venue to test NATO weapons against Russia in an online conversation with the director […]

The top U.S. general asserted Sunday that the Chinese regime’s military has become more “aggressive” and dangerous over the past five years. Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters that the United States and its allies have conducted more and more intercepts of Chinese aircraft and ships in the Pacific. The […]

Katehon Think Tank   Developments in the field of security in the Baltic Sea area show a strong trend towards the regionalization of European security.

In the coming days, the world will witness the development of a very interesting chess game in the Middle East between the presidents of the US and Russia – Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin, who are going to make significant for both states trips to this region. According to the White House, the very demonstration […]

Its genuine popularity at the grassroots level shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone, neither those in the country nor observers who’ve objectively followed events there from afar. What took everyone off guard, however, was that PTI was “allowed” to win by those same stakeholders who are suspected of having at the very least “passively facilitated” […]

When historians look back on this chaotic and turbulent period, they will find that few individuals inflicted as much damage on the environment and promoted the interests of the “dirty fossil fuel” lobby as Greta Tunberg, who by shaming and forcing “serious” politicians to pivot toward green energy at a time when there was nowhere […]

All free nation states across the continents can learn from history to move more wisely into the future.  Prior to the time of Ertugrul and the 13th century, there was an alliance formed 500 years earlier between Frankish-Christian King Charlemagne (742-814), Arab-Muslim ruler Haroun Al-Rashid (763-809), and the Turkish-Jewish King Bulan (???-786) of the Khazar […]

There is no sign of intelligence anywhere in the Western world California Democrat Governor Newsom intends to phase out gasoline powered cars by 2035 and replace them with battery powered cars that have to be continually recharged with electricity.  Currently, there is insufficient electricity available to California to safeguard California from brownouts at current usage.  In the […]

The military is facing its most severe staffing crisis since the advent of the all-volunteer force in 1973. Amid the first conventional war in Europe since 1945 and China’s massive military buildup — including nuclear weapons — the U.S. military is experiencing a dangerous drop in its warfighting capability. The U.S. Army, the largest service, […]

Dutch police were seen shooting at farmers protesting new environmental reforms, with officers firing on a tractor as it tried to flee.

The island nation of Sri Lanka, located south-southeast of India in the Indian Ocean has suffered economic and now political chaos that has grabbed international headlines. The Western media has floated narratives ranging from “debt trap diplomacy” perpetrated by China and its Belt and Road Initiative to food shortages spurred by Russia’s “blockade” of the […]

Marinate those ribs, ice the beer, and get the fireworks ready so we can revel in the red, white, and blue. Let’s raise our collective glasses today to the bold few who spoke on our behalf more than 200 years ago. Thomas Jefferson’s inspired words live on: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that […]

The worship of the “heroes of Mariupol”, i.e. bandits from Azov, cowardly hiding behind the backs of civilians imprisoned in Azovstal, is another example of the progressive nazification of political consciousness in contemporary Poland. In Gdańsk one of the the squares was officially named in honour of “heroic Mariupol”. Well, although it is hard to […]

The Russian economy has withstood the pressure of unprecedented sanctions, Russian President Vladimir Putin said, praising the government for its decisive response to Western sanctions. Western nations have failed in their attempts to destabilize the Russian economy with sanctions, President Vladimir Putin said at a government meeting on economic issues on Friday. “As a result […]

The World Economic Forum (WEF) released a position paper Monday that inexorably links two claimed global crises as one – “climate change” and the “decline of democracy.” It says fighting the former can save the latter as long as consumers stop burning coal, oil, and gas in exchange for green renewables. The WEF paper argues for […]

The United States wants to turn Taiwan into an Asian Ukraine. The goal is to use it as a weapon against a China, a country that has been declared an adversary. These are amended remarks given by the author at an event held by the Canadian Foreign Policy Institute titled “NATO and Global Empire.” The event […]

By the time you read this, the U.S. economy will likely be officially mired in what could be a long and deep recession. Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood said Tuesday we’re already there: We think we are in a recession. We were wrong on one thing and that was inflation being as sustained as it […]

Post-Soviet Russia hadn’t ever intended to, but it’s now following in the global revolutionary footsteps of its communist predecessor, which speaks to an intriguing trend connected to this civilization-state’s historical role in International Relations. President Putin shared his global revolutionary manifesto on Wednesday while speaking at the plenary session of the “Strong Ideas for a […]

“The following is an excerpt from Michael Walsh’s forthcoming book, Against the Great Reset: Eighteen Theses Contra the New World Order, which will be published by Bombardier Books and be available October 18, 2022.

‼️ We Are Z The Schloss Elmau, ‘a Luxury Spa Retreat and Cultural Hideaway’ was a very suitable location at the end of June 2022 for the G7 elitists, ‘hiding away’ from the anger of their exploited peoples. Holed up in a castle in Bavaria (sounds familiar?), protected by thousands of paramilitaries, the neo-feudal Gang […]

Governments of many countries have recently been talking more and more about a possible food crisis in the near future, actively involving representatives from the UN and other international organizations, and numerous media platforms in this information campaign. Yet, in addition to drawing everyone’s attention to the issue of combating hunger, which is especially threatening […]

Boris Johnson resigns as Conservative leader but will push to stay on as prime minister until the autumn, prompting a backlash from some Tory MPs who say he has to go now. Johnson today told The Queen he plans to resign after a brutal Cabinet coup and flood of Tory resignations imploded his premiership. The PM […]

The destruction of ‘phantom wealth’ via default has always been the only way to clear the financial system of unpayable debt burdens and extremes of rentier / wealth dominance. The notion that the world could always borrow more money as long as interest rates were near-zero was never sustainable. It was always an unsustainable artifice that […]

July 8 was a muggy day in the ancient capital of Japan. Shinzo Abe, the most powerful figure in Japanese politics, was delivering a stump speech for a local Liberal Democratic Party candidate in front of the Nara Kintetsu railway station when suddenly a loud bang rang out, followed by an odd cloud of smoke. […]

Far more radiation was released across the world after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant disaster than the Japanese government has claimed, new global data conclude. The study on the post-earthquake disaster combines radioactivity data from around the world to estimate the scale and fate of emissions from the plant, that has reached across the world. (Read […]

The longer they remain in control of our government, the closer Democrats move our country toward a full-blown dictatorship, as evidenced by a provision added to the annual Pentagon spending bill by a top Democrat. The provision, offered by Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), head of the House Intelligence Committee, and approved by the Democrat majority, […]

Today’s world is faced with two possible future systems. On the one hand, there is a multipolar approach in defense of sovereign nation states premised on long-term thinking, scientific optimism and win-win cooperation stands as one possible outcome; on the other, there is a unipolar paradigm of world government, depopulation and zero-sum thinking. Gaining insight into […]

That is Bank of America’s latest forecast for the growth of the U.S. economy in the second quarter. The second largest American bank by assets on Friday revised down its estimate for GDP growth in the April through June period from 1.5 percent to 0.0 percent, citing weaker than expected consumer spending reported by the Department […]

When will this nonsense on familial connection between Australia and the Pacific end?  In 2018, Australia’s then Pentecostal Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, drew upon a term that his predecessors had not.  On November 8 that year, he announced that Australia’s engagement with the region would be taken to another level, launching a “new chapter in relations with our […]

Either one ascribes to the oversimplified and arguably inaccurate assessment propagated by many in the Alt-Media Community for reasons of “narrative/political convenience” or they aspire to obtain a more nuanced understanding of the complex socio-political processes (soft security) connected to Color Revolutions in general and to the Nukus Incident in particular. The first will result […]

Subscribers have noticed that it’s been quiet on this site for a while. This is because I spent much of the last month researching the #CryptoCrash, and the last week and a half engaged in an increasingly maddening search for a civilized and respectful way to write about one particular actor: Circle Internet Financial, makers […]

Looking forward, it’s expected that Russia will double down on educating its policymaking elite about the significance of China, India, Iran, and Turkiye for their country’s grand strategy in the context of the Greater Eurasian Partnership. From there, focus will gradually evolve to Southeast and West Asia as well as Africa and Latin America, with […]

Things grew more serious on the third consecutive day of protests at the Port of Oakland, as truckers opposed to a new California labor law blocked gates and triggered a total shutdown of operations on Wednesday.  Per The Associated Press:  The protest that began Monday involves hundreds of independent big-rig truckers that have blocked the […]

And once again, as happens often with consequential news in the United States and the West, no one has noticed and no one seems to care. If you’ve blinked over the last month, you may have missed it… China and Russia are taking their shot at the U.S. dollar. And as often happens with consequential news […]

These civilization-states have always had leading roles in their parts of the world all throughout history, and they’re once again taking up the mantle of leadership when everyone needs their guidance the most. The chaotic transition to multipolarity has prompted plenty of confusion among many across Afro-Eurasia, hence the importance of Russia and Ethiopia clarifying […]

The internationalization of the rupee aligns with one of the top five trends connected with the global systemic transition to multipolarity, particularly the one predicting that non-Western alternative platforms will become increasingly popular across the Global South. 11 July will be seen in hindsight as a milestone event for the economic-financial dimension of multipolarity after […]

“The decisions we have taken in Madrid,” North Atlantic Treaty Organization Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said as a summit of the alliance’s members closed in Madrid on June 30, “will ensure that our Alliance continues to preserve peace, prevent conflict, and protect our people and our values.” Decisions taken at the summit include inviting Sweden and Finland […]

The Russian Defense Ministry says its missiles hit depots of US-made ammunition for HIMARS rocket launchers in Ukraine. Depots packed with US-made shells and rockets in Ukraine have been hit by missile strikes, Russia says. Russian warships have destroyed stocks of US-supplied ammunition, by striking arms depots in Ukraine’s central Dnepropetrovsk Region with Kalibr cruise […]

On July 7, 2022, Bloomberg ran a story with the headline “Pakistan’s $1 Billion Gas Tender Flop to Worsen Energy Crisis”. The author, citing traders, writes that state-owned Pakistan LNG received not a single offer in a $1 billion liquefied natural gas purchase tender. That indicates both the extent of the global fuel shortage, and also the […]

When Russia was arbitrarily excluded from the ‘Group of eight’ (G8) in 2014, many in the West saw this as a step toward a more cohesive western bloc – the so-called G7 – that could collectively – and effectively – counter Russia through a homogenous response combining economic and military means. The response the West […]

Have you ever watched the Netflix series „The Umbrella Academy”? No worries, who has watched then knows, and who has not we are not to summarise the story. This is not about it. What is important, however, that is like the Netflix, always the first in the front of progress, evolves on (trans)gender issue. Let’s […]

The SEC has just proposed a new ESG rule that could spell disaster for some American farms and ranches. The rule will force farms and ranches to adopt more rigorous reporting regimes which could weigh on their bottom line. A 2018 survey of nearly 1,500 farmers found 69 percent still use non-computerized tools for their day-to-day […]

Boris Johnson resigning would only be interesting in an alternate universe where there was some remote chance that he won’t be replaced by another depraved sociopath. ❖ Remember when rich people were so worried about Jeremy Corbyn raising their taxes that they spent months pretending to believe he was a closet Nazi? They really committed to the […]

Moscow warned the five UK and US citizens to turn back instead of joining Ukrainian forces. The Russian Defense Ministry claims to know the identities of foreign fighters going to join the Ukrainian troops. The Russian military has published the names of five people who it identified as British and American citizens on their way […]

“But I don’t want to go among mad people,” Alice remarked.“Oh, you can’t help that,” said the Cat: “we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad.”“How do you know I’m mad?” said Alice.“You must be,” said the Cat, “or you wouldn’t have come here.” – Lewis Carroll’s “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” We are living in […]

Nevertheless, no one should fall under the false assumption that this development implies a trans-Atlantic rift between the EU and the US since nothing of the sort is unfolding. Rather, what happened was that the EU unexpectedly pushed back against the US after the latter overstepped by provoking a major crisis between Russia and the […]

It may be premature, but one suspects that there is a fundamental shift taking place in the balance of power throughout the world. This is manifesting itself in a variety of different ways. One such clue was the recent meeting of the Foreign Ministers of the G20 group of nations. An attempt to isolate the […]

Two powerful leaders met beneath the hot Jeddah sun to discuss oil and killing and friendship. One of the leaders rules a tyrannical regime which funds terrorists, murders journalists, suppresses civil rights and commits war crimes. The other, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, is no better. They greeted not with the traditional handshake, nor with […]

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and the arms industry that depends on it for billions in profits, has become the most aggressive and dangerous military alliance on the planet. Created in 1949 to thwart Soviet expansion into Eastern and Central Europe, it has evolved into a global war machine in Europe, the Middle East, […]

TEHRAN (Iran News) – Iran and Russia signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on road transportation cooperation, at the end of the two countries’ Road Transportation Joint Committee meeting in Moscow on Wednesday. The MOU, inked by Iranian deputy transport and urban development minister and Russian deputy transport minister, is a step toward strengthening the […]

A report published earlier this week provides fresh evidence that the U.S. Deep State is heavily invested in Ukraine and is going all-out to prevent the country from falling into Russian hands. Readers likely recall that despite the fact that the U.S. and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) knew months in advance that Russia […]

Waste is not growth, and neither are the unlimited expansion of debt and speculative bubbles. The financial punditry is whipping itself into a frenzy about a Federal Reserve “policy error,” which is code for “if the music finally stops, we’re doomed!” In other words, any policy which reduces the flow of juice sluicing through the sewage […]

At present, Cuba has relations with the three most famous and internationally recognized nations as part of the BRICS among multipolar projects: Russia, China and India. Therein lies part of the motivation for Cuba and India’s joint efforts to continue to expand their bilateral relations by building on the legacy and the future of a […]

On July 10 Japan held elections for 125 of the 248 seats (i.e. 50%+1) in the House of Councilors, the upper house of the Japanese Parliament. The results of these elections have attracted special interest owing to a number of different factors. These factors include both immediate and long-term issues, and relate to both domestic […]

Russia and China, by holding firm, may be enough to push the U.S. axis into the grave it deserves. Finally, the United States-led military alliance called NATO has made its global cold war ambitions explicit. At last, the warmongering organization has come clean out of the deceptive closet it has been hiding in for many […]

For years, the West has made every effort to predict the fall of Russia-China ties. The frenzy reached its climax when Russia began its military operation in Ukraine in late February 2022. Many in the West – both politicians and the media – saw this war as the beginning of the end of Sino-Russia ties. […]

In April 2022, the world learned that China and the Solomon Islands had concluded a framework security treaty allowing China to deploy its naval forces in a small but strategically important nation in Oceania, just 2,000 km off the coast of the largest state in the South Pacific, Australia. At this point, however, the Chinese […]

Under normal circumstances inflation occurs, when too many monetary units (US dollars, Euros, Chinese Yuan) chase too few goods. But we are not living in normal times. To the contrary. We are living in an increasingly divided world, not only in political terms – West vs. East / Global North vs. Global South – but […]

The long secret war might escalate into direct confrontation. Iran’s nuclear talks are back on track. There are not very high expectations though and some experts in fact believe that deal or no deal, an Iranian-Israeli future war is almost inevitable for a number of reasons. For years, the Islamic Republic and the Jewish state […]

László Bogár   In a tragicomic way, the United States of America itself is the “end product” of a series of revenges There is an English saying that if you want revenge, you dig two graves at the same time. One was obviously for your enemy, who destroyed it in revenge, and the other for […]

It’s Italy which will fire the starter’s gun on a turnaround on the EU’s policy on Russia and the Ukraine war. It might well be Italy which marks the starting point of a demise of sorts of the EU, as the coalition government collapses. Mario Draghi, who might be remembering interest rate hikes like the […]

In a piece of news that shocked the mainstream media, but which shocked no one familiar with the academic industry writ large, retired US Army general John Allen was forced to resign as president of the Brookings Institution after it was revealed the FBI was investigating him for lobbying on behalf of the Qatari monarchy. Of course, […]

Russia’s defense minister, Sergey Shoigu, has visited troops in the liberated Donbass, met with Russian commanding officers, discussing ways and means to stop Kiev’s attacks on Donbass civilians. Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu has inspected Russian troops involved in the ongoing military operation in neighboring Ukraine, the ministry revealed on Saturday. Shoigu met the commanding […]

The problem is that the authorities who replaced him following the post-modern coup in early April comprise members of the pro-American school of thought instead of the multipolar one whose representatives they deposed through superficially “democratic” means. Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan expressed the belief during a recent interview with Deutsche Welle that his country’s future […]

Alexander Dugin The country [Ed. note: Russia] is in a very peculiar state today. It is like being poised between a past that has already ended and a future that has not yet begun, or rather has begun but has not yet been realised or accepted. These are fundamental questions: Russia’s attitude to global processes and, above all, to […]

One June 29-30, 2022, a NATO summit was held in Madrid that was attended for the first time by the President of South Korea Yoon Seok-yeol. South Korea is not a member of the military alliance, but was invited as a partner country along with Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. For Yoon, this was his […]

The American policymakers, when wanting to isolate and antagonise Russia, must have asked, “What ‘redline’ would have to be crossed for Putin to act?” In retrospect, in light of Putin’s Victory Day Speech which coincided with Russian successes in the Donbass region and the East of Ukraine as a whole, the answer is clear. Did […]

Wait, so is this some kind of hoax, or is QAnon doing bombings now? RT: A mystery-shrouded monument in the US state of Georgia was severely damaged in an explosion early on Wednesday. It was later demolished entirely, for safety reasons. State and local authorities are investigating the incident as a bombing. The granite Georgia Guidestones […]

On July 1 at the White House, US President Joe Biden made a startling disclosure that “the idea we’re going to be able to click a switch, bring down the cost of gasoline, is not likely in the near term.” American gas exporters have positioned themselves accordingly to fill the gap as Europe turns away […]

Have you become numb to all the bad news yet?  Almost every single day, something really horrible seems to happen in the United States.  It is just one thing after another and it has been that way for months.  It is as if we are in the midst of some sort of a “perfect storm” […]

Peter Navarro, 73 years old, was Assistant to the President for Trade and Manufacturing Policy during the Trump administration. I do not know him.   Last February the Democrats subpoenaed him to appear before the Democrats’ “Select Committee on the January 6 Attack,” a show trial operation trying to invent an “insurrection” by people who took […]

US forces are regularly subjected to attacks as well as protests by locals against their illegal presence on Syrian soil. Several reports from Syria’s Deir Ezzor governorate claim that a US military base came under a large-scale missile attack on the evening of 4 July. Breaking News: Missile attack on US base in Deir Ezzor, […]

As has been repeatedly pointed out by many media, the United States has long shown the world its disregard for international norms and its willingness to wage war with weapons of mass destruction anywhere in the world. This fact was further documented during the Russian special operation in Ukraine, which resulted in the Russian Ministry […]

A note in Lisa Daftari’s The Foreign Desk newsletter reads of the latest on the Ukraine war and Washington efforts: “$54 Billion Dollars… and Russia Controls an Area the Size of Mississippi”. In terms of geography and land mass, this represents about one-fifth of Ukraine. Much of the Donbas region and the south is effectively under Russian […]

The emerging trend is that the Polish-Prussian alliance is giving way to a Polish-German rivalry, albeit one that Warsaw won’t be able to beat Berlin in. This aspiring regional leader went all-in by doing too much for Ukraine too fast, and now it’s unable to reverse course, thus fating it to continue doing Germany’s bidding […]

An Australian bank that collapsed has urged its 6000 customers to withdraw $100 million worth of deposits before it starts closing accounts from next Tuesday. Volt, a digital bank called a neobank which was launched in 2017, announced it was handing back its banking licence to the regulator on Wednesday. It was the first start […]

A translated version of an article by Aleksandr Dugin has appeared on KATEHON, an anti-globalist, pro-Russian website. (When I tried to post a link to the article on Twitter, they said that “the link has been identified by Twitter and its partners as harmful” and they blocked it.)   Dugin’s article indicates that he has […]

Russian President Vladimir Putin is proving to be a masterful geopolitical player with ever move he implements to counter tired, predictable and toothless sanction efforts imposed on him by corrupt and morally bankrupt Western countries. For more than a decade, Putin allowed Europe to become heavily dependent on food, energy and other vital commodities supplied […]

When Joe Biden abruptly withdrew all American troops from Afghanistan last year, he left behind billions of dollars worth of American war machinery for the Taliban – the terror organization then taking over the country – to have and to use. He also left behind hundreds of Americans, despite his promise that he would see […]

The federal government of Switzerland has warned that it may ration energy in the event of natural gas shortages. Switzerland gets most of its gas through trading hubs in neighboring countries in the European Union, which means that disruptions affecting the rest of the continent also make their way to landlocked Switzerland, even though the country […]

It is bad business to engage in a hybrid war crusade against a nation-civilization state like Russia, which is capable of bringing so much good business to Latin American and Caribbean countries, not to mention the ability to purchase goods, energy and resources critical for production. This article compares the differences between the approaches taken […]

Russia’s certainly right with respect to Brazil and India deserving permanent UNSC seats but it’s unrealistic to expect the Golden Billion’s three permanent members to agree to this, not to mention without also possibly bestowing the same privilege to their German and Japanese allies. Russian Ambassador to China Andrey Denisov reaffirmed his country’s support for the permanent […]

Perhaps one of the more astute observers of Russian foreign policy in recent decades has been John Mearsheimer at the University of Chicago. He has spent years warning against US-led NATO enlargement as a tactic that would provoke conflict with the Russian regime. Moreover, Mearsheimer has sought to explain why this conflict exists at all. […]

The Biden administration has worked hard to keep Russia from treating America as a co-combatant in Ukraine. But that doesn’t mean NATO isn’t deeply embroiled in the fight. The level of support is extraordinary and increasing, including sanctions, intelligence sharing, weapons transfers, and money. Add to that the ever-heightening political rhetoric: “The United States is in this to […]

A recent incident involving a MiG-29 fighter aircraft from Myanmar which flew into Thai airspace triggered political fallout particularly instructive in understanding the current dynamics in both countries as well as across wider Asia. It also gives a glimpse into the dynamics of the ongoing US-Chinese tensions that are the driving force behind much of […]

All hail our globalist overlords. “The following is an excerpt from Michael Walsh’s forthcoming book, Against the Great Reset: Eighteen Theses Contra the New World Order, which will be published by Bombardier Books and be available October 18, 2022. Walsh has gathered a series of essays from among eighteen of the most eminent thinkers, writers, and journalists—including the […]

Russia’s ex-president has issued an apocalyptic warning to those seeking to “judge” the country. Those seeking to “judge” Russia might face the “wrath” of God, the country’s ex-president Dmitry Medvedev has cautioned. Russia’s former president, Dmitry Medvedev, has warned against any attempt to establish an international tribunal of sorts over the ongoing conflict between Moscow […]

The world’s largest crude oil exporter, Saudi Arabia, continues to keep close ties with Russia while the top oil consumer, the United States, pleads with major producers—including the Kingdom—to boost supply to the market and help ease consumers’ pain at the pump.  While the U.S. and its Western allies are sanctioning Moscow and banning oil […]

Despite its resounding defeat, NATO is not quite done with inflicting misery on the land of the Afghans. Once upon a time, in a galaxy not far away, the Empire of Chaos launched the so-called “War on Terror” against an impoverished cemetery of empires at the crossroads of Central and South Asia. In the name of national […]

It seems a short leap from Robinhood or Coinbase to a Ponzi scheme. “Investing is simple here,” Robinhood’s website leads. “Start building your portfolio with just $1.” Scroll down a bit on coinbase.com, and it says, “Take control of your money.” Charles Ponzi himself, called “a wizard of finance” in 1920, was “the discoverer of […]

The Walt Disney Company, which recently sparked controversy for inserting radical sex and gender ideology into its children’s programs, has come under scrutiny again after a clip from the new series “Baymax!” showed the namesake nurse robot taking advice on menstrual products from a transgender person. The video was obtained and shared by conservative author […]

Western taxpayers’ money in time of existential economic and social crisis are used for “good causes” abroad, lining the pockets of Kiev’s corrupt installed puppets, just before they run away to seek exile in that same west. Western weapons supplied to Kiev amid the conflict with Russia are being actively sold on the dark web, […]

The massive money creation in the 2000s has led to a debt and asset bubble, which is about to burst. Investors will be shocked by the speed of the decline and won’t react before it is too late. The massive money creation by central and commercial banks in this century has resulted in a growth […]

The Kiev regime will accept anyone willing to fight in its suicidal confrontation with Russia. Western mercenaries are often considered the mainstay of all foreign personnel fighting for the Kiev regime. However, although they’re the ones with the most media exposure, the truth is, there are mercenaries from all around the world fighting for the […]

It’s perhaps hard to believe now, but only eight years ago, Russia was a full member of the former G8. Since then, there have been dramatic changes. Just before the G7 leaders met at Elmau Castle in Bavaria, last week, their counterparts from the five BRICS countries held an online summit under the Chinese Presidency. […]

Warmongering Ukraine Rhetoric And The Dangers Of A Nuclear World War III. On Tuesday Russian First Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations Dmitry Polyansky addressed the UN Security Council: “We started a special military operation in order to put an end to bombardments of Donbas by Ukraine, and also to make sure that this country (that […]

While we notice the closest integration among emerging countries, we notice a certain disparity among the richest, first-world countries, because they may not seem like it, but they also have internal problems that cannot always be fought. And the most recent of these is inflation, with an unprecedented rise in prices. The middle class, the […]

Western Europe is on suicide watch as virtue signaling nations tore down their fossil fuel infrastructure (and nuclear power plants) to appease the “greenies.” Now, countries like Germany, France and the UK are facing an energy catastrophe as Russia steadily reduces natural gas outflows from pipelines like Nord Stream 1, which is also scheduled to […]

After a month after Russia began offering passports to citizens of the republics in the Donbas region, Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree ordering that “all citizens of Ukraine” be given “the right to apply for admission to the citizenship of the Russian Federation in a simplified manner.” The new citizenship for Ukrainians […]

In a master stroke of military diplomacy, Russian Foreign Ministry announced today that it is “withdrawing” the garrison in Snake Island, the hotly contested Black Sea property from where Ukrainian forces were evicted in March in the early days of Moscow’s special military operation. This decision comes a day after Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and […]

Now, if you are comfortable endorsing the pro-Ukraine, fight to the death of Russia messages those folks are repeating ad nausea then we are not friends. The people I named above epitomize the evil and corruption that infest Washington. They oppose vehemently the idea of America first. And they do not believe the Democrats stole […]

Today’s elites are caught in a dilemma: nobody wants what they’re selling. They promised a world where under their expert management, the economy would function unfailingly, there would be peace in our time, and when the pandemic hit they had it all under control (anybody remember “Two weeks to flatten the curve?”). They even tease […]

Americans’ pride in their country has steadily fallen since Gallup started conducting a survey on the subject in 2001. You will find more infographics at Statista Now, as Statista’s Katharian Buchholz reports, national pride in the U.S. has plummeted to an all-time low, as the fewest respondents in the history of the poll said they were extremely proud to be an […]

Narendra Modi urges ditching British legacy to reform Indian education. India needs education that can help its people prosper, not the legacy British systems designed to create a “servant class,” said PM Modi. Speaking at an educational policy summit on Thursday, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi denounced the education system inherited from British colonial days […]

The American Consulate in Mumbai has no place whatsoever at all in demanding that India ban Russian vessels, and it’s only as a result of Delhi’s goodwill that there hasn’t (yet?) been an official condemnation of this. ThePrint, one of India’s reputable online media outlets, reported on Saturday that the American Consulate in Mumbai demanded a fortnight […]

The strike on Novaya Kakhovka was carried out with American weapons, local administration says. Victims reported as a result of Ukrainian strike on a city in the Kherson region, controlled by Russian forces. The Ukrainian attack on Novaya Kakhovka – a city in the Kherson region controlled by the Russian forces – with American weapons […]

Ultimately, it was Iran and not Pakistan that ended up being the global pivot state after the latter abandoned this role upon the successful US-orchestrated regime change against former Prime Minister Khan, thus ceding it entirely to the neighboring Islamic Republic that’s now closely cooperating with Islamabad’s Indian rivals to create a third pole of […]

Currently the world is on a fiat money standard—a government-issued currency that is not backed by a commodity such as gold. The fiat standard is the primary cause behind the present economic instability, and is tempted to suggest that a gold standard would reduce instability. The majority of experts however, oppose this idea on the […]

While Sri Lanka’s bankruptcy is certainly a catastrophe for its people, the silver lining of sorts is that it could also become a turning point for the economic-financial dimension of the emerging Multipolar World Order if the RIC countries pool their efforts to support it. Sri Lankan Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe declared on Tuesday that […]

China is taking advantage of cheap Russian oil and coal. Russia is looking to Asia to offload coal and oil at steep discounts. China’s industrial power is being fueled by U.S. adversaries in Russia and Iran, Hudson Institute’s Duesterberg notes. China is the main beneficiary of the biggest change in energy trade flows in recent […]

On take-up-arms question, one-in-three Republicans, compared to one-in-five Democrats thought it’s soon perhaps time, since they see no other “democratic” or “my-vote-counts” way to change the oppressive totalitarian government that steals elections and robs them of their basic freedoms and of their economic prosperity. More than one-in-four U.S. voters are so alienated from their government […]

Farmers‘ protests against globalist Great Reset food policies spread to Germany, Italy, Poland  and Spain. 16-year-old farmer’s son Jouke Hospes, who was shot at by police Tuesday evening despite having turned his tractor away from the police roadblock said: “I  can’t believe they shot at me!“ 'Farming'#boerenprotest pic.twitter.com/P3Fg9c1POA — Jaap Jan de Vries – Twîtterpersoonlijkheid […]

These humanitarian rich feel just terrible about the sins of America, but not terrible enough to sacrifice any element of their privileged lifestyles—the just deserts they feel for being so righteous. Marie Antoinette, the beheaded wife of the beheaded French Bourbon King Charles Louis XVI, did not really say “Let them eat cake.”  But in […]

With the resignation of Boris Johnson for his constant, almost habitual, lying, Britain’s Conservative a.k.a. “Tory” Party is currently electing its new leader. After two rounds of balloting, the contestants have been cut down to five; the third round is on Monday, July 18. The chance that the new leader will be a white British male […]

Throughout the 19th century, Americans generally had a much better understanding of their anti-colonial origins than is the case today. Even though the last official war fought between Britain and the USA occured between 1812 and 1815, the British failure to destroy the United States militarily caused British foreign policy to re-focus its efforts on undermining […]

Author and historian Douglas MacKinnon joined Rachel Campos-Duffy on FOX and Friends Weekend on Saturday to discuss the current crisis facing our nation. MacKinnon penned “The 56” on the 56 who risked all to sign the Declaration of Independence. In the book, MacKinnon honors those 56 men and the story behind the 4th of July. […]

Russia would need to go beyond its traditional rhetoric of Soviet assistance rendered to Africa. Are there concrete success stories and policy achievements, at least, during the past decade in Africa. The young generation and the middle class, aged between 25 to 45 that make the bulk of the 1.3 billion population, hardly see the […]

On June 5 Corriere della Sera, one of Italy’s oldest and most influential newspapers, splashed the pictures and names of 9 people, including mine, above the headline “Putin’s network in Italy: the influencers and opinion leaders who produce propaganda for Moscow”. According to the clumsy article that accompanied this sensationalist title a “secret Russian disinformation […]

China likely imported another 2 million barrels per day (bpd) of discounted Russian crude oil in June after bringing in around the same amount in May, keeping Russia as its top oil supplier ahead of Saudi Arabia for a second consecutive month. Russian crude is estimated to have squeezed out some supply from Saudi Arabia […]

America is lagging behind its international competitors in the hypersonic weapons race. This week’s test provided more insight into just how badly the U.S. is behind.  Bloomberg was the first to report the Common Hypersonic Glide Body atop a two-stage missile booster that failed after an “anomaly” occurred during launch at the Missile Range Facility in […]

On June 24th, at the think tank, the Hudson Institute, U.S. President Trump’s CIA chief and Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, delivered a 5,000+-word speech, suggesting that America has an essentially God-assigned mission to control the world, so as to preserve freedom and democracy for everybody, and that victory against Russia and China is therefore obligatory for the […]

The amount of Russian fuel oil imported by Saudi Arabia between April and June of this year more than doubled compared to last year, Reuters reported Friday. “Data obtained by Reuters through Refinitiv Eikon ship tracking showed Saudi Arabia imported 647,000 tonnes (48,000 barrels per day) of fuel oil from Russia via Russian and Estonian ports in […]

Serbia is one of the key battleground countries in the New Cold War that is being cajoled into the Western orbit. During the 1990s, the Clinton administration orchestated a regime change in Serbia targeting the socialist Slobodan Milošević, first by bombing and military attack, and then by sponsoring a “color revolution” and having Milošević arrested […]

The UK has confirmed the start of a new program to train thousands Ukrainian soldiers on its soil, which is to last at least several weeks for each batch of recruits. Though Britain was among the earliest to begin large weapons shipments to Kiev within days and weeks after the Feb.24 Russian invasion of the […]

On July 7th, Bloomberg News headlined “EU Bureaucracy Seen Blocking 1.5 Billion-Euro Loan to Ukraine”, and reported that, “The executive arm of the European Union is blocking a 1.5 billion-euro ($1.5 billion) loan for Ukraine as caution prevails over the country’s urgent needs, according to officials.” America alone has donated and loaned, during this year, $54 […]

Fast but not furious, the Global South is revving up. The key takeaway of the BRICS+ summit in Beijing,  held in sharp contrast with the G7 in the Bavarian Alps, is that both West Asia’s Iran and South America’s Argentina officially applied for BRICS membership. The Iranian Foreign Ministry has highlighted how BRICS has “a very creative […]

The recent NATO summit held in Spain included as guests the nations of Australia, New Zealand and Japan. By expanding the invited countries, NATO was signaling that it was the longer confined to the North Atlantic, as its name consistently represents, but instead was expanding its sphere of influence to the Asia and Pacific region. […]

Today, politicians and common people in all countries expressly say that the United States is losing its influence on the global stage. Even The Washington Times, by publishing the results of the new survey conducted by Pew Research Center, acknowledges that the prevailing opinion among the US nationals is that America is definitely a loser […]

By sanctioning Russia, Germany has destroyed its business model. Now it faces an possible economic catastrophe Germany just posted its first monthly trade deficit in three decades, and the head of the German Federation of Trade Unions has warned that key industries in the country may collapse permanently as a result of high energy prices […]

Imagine living in a country where armed soldiers crash through doors to arrest and imprison citizens merely for criticizing government officials. Imagine that in this very same country, you’re watched all the time, and if you look even a little bit suspicious, the police stop and frisk you or pull you over to search you […]

This should be undertaken in full consultation with the Indian diaspora in Vladivostok, that country’s consulate there, a range of economic and political experts from both countries, and of course their related government departments. A pipeline of talent should be created for funneling interested Indians into the Russian Far East, where they can get educated, […]

Strategic forecasters must always aspire to reflect reality as accurately as they can, understanding that this is impossible to perfectly do in practice but nevertheless continually moving in this direction and regularly improving their work to this end. President Putin spoke to current staff and veterans of his Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) on the centenary of their […]

Despite the economic and political burdens hindering Hezbollah, the growing strength of its naval assets is challenging Israel’s supremacy at sea. The Israeli army censor has allowed the publication of a previously unreported maritime incursion by Hezbollah into Israel in 2016. According to an article published by Walla News, an elite unit from Hezbollah’s naval […]

Professor Mattias Desmet, a Belgian psychologist with a master’s degree in statistics, gained worldwide recognition toward the end of 2021, when he presented the concept of “mass formation” as an explanation for the absurd and irrational behavior we were seeing with regard to the COVID pandemic and its countermeasures. He also warned that mass formation […]

Gazprom is proposing to extend the rubles-for-gas scheme to liquified natural gas (LNG), a senior executive said on Monday, days after Russia moved to take full control over the Sakhalin-2 LNG project. The proposal for demanding payments in rubles for LNG came from Kiril Polous, who is in charge of Gazprom’s long-term development programs, during […]

Forgive the grim opening to this, but children are now taught about masturbation at school aged 3-6. And parents are being told these lessons are compulsory. Not “grooming”. Not “sexualising children”. Not “insanely creepy & inappropriate”. Compulsory. Call it a conspiracy all you want, there is a very dark, heavy agenda at play & this […]

As proxy conflicts around the world rage on, America is poised to continue proliferating further instability across the globe, particularly in the vicinity of near-peer adversaries, Russia and China, neither of which want escalation, as they need peace and stability to fulfill their development goals. Washington DC (and lately Brussels as well) is determined to […]

The Coming Panic Will Be Too Late At some point, the Fed will react and in panic lower rates and inject fake money into the system. But that will be much too late. No amount of fake money can save a system which is morally and financially bankrupt… The Big Picture Is Disastrous For Equities […]

An attorney for Elon Musk sent a letter to the Twitter board Friday informing them of Musk’s intention to terminate his $44 billion buyout of Twitter due to alleged lies about the number of bots, spam accounts and other issues. Musk has not as yet directly commented on the termination as of publication of this article. […]

In Washington’s ongoing efforts to confront and contain China’s rise on the global stage, it has announced yet another bloc, the “Partnership in Blue Pacific.” The Financial Times in a recent article titled, “US and allies launch initiative to help Pacific Island nations,” would claim, regarding the stated objective of the new bloc, that: The scheme aims […]

The density of foreign policy activities by Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida cannot but attract attention. At the end of April, he received German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in Tokyo. Immediately after that, he went on a week-long tour to three countries in Southeast Asia and a subsequent flight to Europe. There, he held talks with […]

Two tweets about American on this Independence Day. The first is from a drag restaurant in Miami, which is in Florida, a state that has a sane governor and a department of child protective services, from which we should be hearing soon: These people belong in jail. This is a hill I’m willing to die […]

The main message of the neocons is that the US must predominate in military power in every region of the world, and must confront rising regional powers that could someday challenge US global or regional dominance, most important Russia and China. The war in Ukraine is the culmination of a 30-year project of the American neoconservative […]

Alexander Bovdunov The deployment of a Russian military base in the CAR, arms baron Jean-Yves Drian, imperial decolonization and the future African conquest of Europe-these and other topics were discussed by diplomats and experts in Moscow. On June 27, the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation hosted a conference entitled “Russia and the African ‘Awakening’: […]

Things are a tad wonky. The problem that market participants are not thinking about is this. When combining the most levered global and US economy in the history of our planet, record low interest rates (lowest in recorded history), the greatest disruption to world’s energy supplies as well as direct and indirect attacks on our […]

Candidates for Johnson’s successor have been prepared for months because that is how long it has taken to grill the Prime Minister. In the oldest liberal democracy in the World you can win elections with an unparalleled majority of votes and have the strong support of the MPs and the party members.  You can survive […]

What the research shows. I’m going to start with some passages from one of the most eye-opening mainstream articles I have read in a long time. It’s called “The Assault on Children’s Psyches,” and it’s in the June 20 issue of City Journal, which is published by the Manhattan Institute. The article is by Leor Sapir, […]

All Empires end in ignominy. The United Kingdom is drawing to a close, not with a bang but with a fart. A century from now, the dominant historical narrative will be Chinese, and Chinese historians will puzzle over how Boris Johnson fell over a lie about what he knew of sexual harassment by a very […]

Banana Republics in Western ClothingMore Inflation & More Clueless QE “Guidance”, writes Egon von Greyerz, Founder of Matterhorn Asset Management (based in Switzerland):  What the U.S. in particular, and the West in general, are failing to confess is that today’s so-called “Developed Economies” are in fact more like yesterday’s debt-straddled Emerging Market economies, and like all […]

Given the growing importance of the Caspian Sea in recent times, the summits of the Caspian basin states, along with the EAEU and the SCO, are becoming essential platforms for strengthening ties within Eurasia. Whereas major oil and gas fields previously generated the bulk of interest in such forums, now it is time for the […]

A gunman on a rooftop opened fire on the participants of an Independence Day parade in Chicago on Monday, killing at least six people, wounding at least 30 and sending hundreds of marchers, parents with strollers and children on bicycles fleeing in terror, police said. Shooter “Took Elevated Position” Possibly on Rooftop to Fire on […]

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova called the Canadian government “satanists” for blacklisting the Orthodox Patriarch. “Only satanists” could sanction the Patriarch, says Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zakharova. Doubling down on its commitment to Ukraine, Canada on Friday blacklisted 29 Russians and 15 entities, accusing them of being “disinformation and propaganda agents” of the Kremlin. Among […]

One of the hallmarks of democratic society was supposed to be “a healthy, free-flowing” media ecosystem. In times past, that media ecosystem would include various mass media outlets, from newspapers to cable TV networks. Today, the internet and social media platforms have greatly expanded the scope and reach of communication within society. Of course, journalism plays a key […]

Former CIA director and secretary of state Mike Pompeo gave a speech at the Hudson Institute last week that’s probably worth taking a look at just because of how much it reveals about the nature of the US empire and the corrupt institutions which influence its policies. Pompeo is serving as a “Distinguished Fellow” at the Hudson […]

After all we’re deep into the metaverse spectrum, where things are the opposite of what they seem. Fast but not furious, the Global South is revving up. The key takeaway of the BRICS+ summit in Beijing,  held in sharp contrast with the G7 in the Bavarian Alps, is that both West Asia’s Iran and South America’s Argentina […]

You might have noticed a certain political instability in the air, not just in the US but all over the world. In a world in which people generally care about rights and freedoms, surely this was inevitable, however much the expert managerial class failed to anticipate it. Beginning in March 2020, much of the world […]

What Cairo is cleverly doing is setting Sudan up to fail in an attempt to divide and rule both it and Ethiopia in order to create the conditions for exerting Egyptian hegemony over the wider region at both of their expense. Patriotic Sudanese probably already suspected that something foul was afoot but might not yet […]

Are we under attack?  Previously, I have written about a series of very strange fires that have occurred at key food production facilities in the United States this year.  Authorities insist that each one of those fires was an “accident”, and maybe they are correct.  But now the same thing is starting to happen to the energy […]

Dutch farmers are expanding their protests against the government’s climate agenda. Dutch lawmakers were voting on proposals that would likely lead to many farmers being forced to stop farming. Dutch farmers are preparing for a hot summer confronting the government’s announced nitrogen emission cuts, which some deem a land grab to make way for Agenda 2030. Minister of […]

Imagine, if you will, the following system… Government is managed by elected representatives who are in turn elected by the people. Government is further restrained by checks and balances between three branches, each of which is accountable ultimately to the people who live under the laws. Unlike the ancient system of government in which the […]

To move from 59 infant deaths out of every 1,000 live births to no infant deaths in the matter of a few decades is an extraordinary feat. Palpite, Cuba, is just a few miles away from Playa Girón, along the Bay of Pigs, where the United States attempted to overthrow the Cuban Revolution in 1961. […]
