And now NATO is even trying to do their ‘(un)fair’ share in the Asian Pacific region. After Barack Obama winning the Nobel prize for peace in 2009 in the form of political ‘advance […]

The creation of mechanisms for the confiscation of Russian property will have long-term consequences for both the West and the whole world Since the start of Russia’s military offensive in Ukraine, Western countries have frozen the assets of Russian state and private structures under so-called “blocking sanctions.” They have also discussed the option of seizing them and transferring […]

The BBC Is Abusing Freedom Of The Press To Wage Hybrid Warfare On India – Andrew Korybko
It’s suspicious that the previously unpublished British Foreign Office report accusing Prime Minister Modi of being “directly responsible” for the 2002 Gujarat riots was highlighted by state-run BBC over two decades after it was written, shortly after the New York Times implied that externally exacerbating communal tensions will be the West’s Hybrid War means of […]

Merchants Of Spin: Monsanto’s Astroturfing Of Glyphosate In The EU – Andy Hsieh
In a previous article, I discussed pending legal cases against Monsanto and the legal precedent that may be created if Monsanto were to succeed with a favorable ruling from the Atlanta-based 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in June.

In his 1819 opinion in McCulloch v.

Sixty Years After Martin Luther King, America’s Race Problem Is Metastasizing – John Derbyshire
Martin Luther King Day, just passed, is depressing because it reminds us of a thing that we—especially we of the Silent and Boomer cohorts—would rather not be reminded of.

The WEF’s “Net Zero Carbon” Lockdown Fraud: British Protest “15-Minute Cities” Where They Will Become Prisoners Of The State – Amy Mek
To seize further control of people’s lives, Globalists are pushing the false idea that these cities will “save the planet” and help all of humanity.

Descent Into Public Health Totalitarianism – David Stockman
The unspeakable stain of the Covid tyranny requires the very opposite of the “pandemic amnesty” that the craven poltroons at the Atlantic magazine suggested recently.

The Decline And Fall Of Nazi-Infested Ukraine – Stephen Lendman
What hegemon USA created, Russia is systematically annihilating. And there’s nothing that the empire of lies and its Western vassals can do to change the course of history.

Should Russia Take The War To NATO States? – Finian Cunningham
It’s certainly risky and not to be contemplated rashly. But what is the alternative? The United States-led military bloc is a party to the conflict in Ukraine against Russia.

People Power In The Donbass Republics – Francis Lee

It’s a military confrontation of NATO, first of all the […]
Western Governments Keep Assigning Themselves The Authority To Regulate Online Speech
Depending on what political echo chamber you’ve been viewing it from, the ongoing release of information about the inner workings of pre-Musk Twitter known as “the Twitter Files” might look like the bombshell news story of the century, or it might look like a complete nothingburger whose importance is being wildly exaggerated by the far […]
By The Numbers: The De-Dollarization Of Global Trade – F.M. Shakil
Data suggests that US dollar reserves in central banks are dwindling, as is the influence of the US on the world economy.

December 10, as is well known, is observed around the world as Human Rights Day, designated as such by the UN.

The Banned FOX News Report On Israel’s Role In 9/11 – Spencer J. Quinn
If the fraudulent 2020 elections have taught us anything, it’s that if you want to find what a country’s elites are most threatened by, look for what they are trying to suppress.

Using Ukraine As A Bloodied Pawn – Ted Galen Carpenter
U.S. and NATO officials routinely contend that assisting Ukraine in its war against Russia is a moral as well as a strategic imperative.

First, Ukraine […]
How The World’s Nazi Movement Relocated From Berlin To Washington – Eric Zuesse
Nazism is a form of imperialism. In my decades-long study of billionaires and of imperialism, I’ve never yet come across a billionaire anywhere who has been anti-imperialist.

Britain’s Guardian newspaper, which used to be progressive (something that no billionaire actually is), got taken over […]
Biden’s Top Secret Document Problem — Is He On His Way Out? – Larry Johnson
The “discovery” that Joe Biden had multiple stashes of highly classified documents begs a few salient questions that nobody, to the best of my knowledge, has answered — When were they discovered?

The US Discredits Its Own Sanctions By Buying Refined Russian Oil Products Via India – Andrew Korybko

Sweden and Finland have jointly and together been seeking membership in NATO, but Turkiye is blocking Sweden’s bid unless and until Sweden will comply with Turkiye’s own national-security demands.

Yes, Virginia, There Is A Deep State – And It Is Worse Than You Think – William L. Anderson
Mention the term “deep state” in polite company and most likely no one will want to speak to you the rest of the evening.

After the FBI raided Donald Trump’s home in Florida, […]

Innocence Doesn’t Matter When The US Government Wants To Steal Your Money – Joe Setyon
There’s a fault line permeating America’s criminal justice system—a built-in defect that the government can use to steal your property, even if you’re innocent. And many Americans don’t even know about it. Hardworking sisters Vera and Apollonia Ward didn’t either, until it happened to them. A California county government used a civil asset forfeiture law […]
What Is The US “Gas Stove Ban” Really About? – Kit Knightly
What sounds like overeach in itself, is actually a cover for something potentially far, far worse. The Biden administration is apparently looking to ban gas stoves, calling them a “hidden danger”.

When Federal Interest Payments Come To Exceed The Military Budget: Time To Stop Defending The Rest Of The World – Doug Bandow

Normalizing Servitude – T.L. Davis

Venezuela Envisages CELAC Playing A Key Role In The Multipolar World Order – Andrew Korybko
Expectations should be tempered with respect to what CELAC will achieve in the coming future, but nobody should think that it won’t achieve anything at all either.

America’s Strategy Of Failure Comes To Ukraine – Brandon Weichert
US mission creep in Ukraine follows in the fatal footsteps of ultimately failed war campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq. Estimates have put Ukrainian casualties at over 100,000.

‘At War With Russia’, Europe Peers Down The Abyss – Alastair Crooke
Russia is unlikely to take the bait: It has the real strategic advantage in all areas of engagement with the Ukrainian forces. There is too much ‘noise’ in the system, and it is obscuring the view.

Food Insecurity Among Soldiers Shows Bloated Pentagon Budget Not ‘Going To The Troops’ – Andrea Mazzarino
That hunger is an issue at all in a military so wildly well-funded by Congress should be a grim reminder of how little attention we pay to so many crucial issues, including how our troops are treated.

Lack Of Good Analysis Contributes To The Decline Of The “West”
What really hit me last year was the dearth of correct analyses in main stream media and in politics with regards to the war in Ukraine. Little if anything is based on facts.
