In early March, Syria’s foreign ministry condemned a surprise visit by Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley to an army base in northeast Syria, with Syrian media dubbing it “illegal” and a “flagrant violation of the sovereignty and integrity” of Syrian territory, adding that the US ought to “immediately” cease support for “separatist […]

Digital dictatorship marks the combination of algorithms, the invisible computer codes that increasingly run the Internet and by inference, our lives. While lacking a distinct ideological backing, it also carries mild connotations to the Italian fasci and fascio. Literally, fasci means bundle or sheaf, and figuratively league – the league of the Fasci Italiani di Combattimento. We know them as Fascists. Yet, our increasingly digitalized world has the […]

Beijing’s holdings of US securities have dropped to their lowest since May 2009 China has continued to slash its holdings of US treasury securities amid the growing threat of economic sanctions from Washington, according to data released by the US Treasury on Wednesday, which showed the holdings slid to $859.4 billion in January from $867.1 […]

Twenty years after the invasion, public opinion about the war has reversed and most believe it made the US less safe.

While two-thirds of Americans approved of military action in […]

Days before the one-year anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2023, U.S. officials claimed that China was considering providing Russia with lethal weaponry to support its military campaign. China denied the accusations, and on the anniversary of the invasion instead put forth its 12-point peace plan to end the conflict. These […]

On the night of 19-20 March, 2003, the US air force began bombing the Iraqi capital, Baghdad. The EU and NATO were deeply divided on whether to join the aggression: While newer NATO members from Central and Eastern Europe were in favor of the war, European heavyweights Paris and Berlin opposed it. The Iraq war […]

For the past year, Nato countries, led by the US, have strived to nudge the rest of the world into providing military aid for Ukraine and sanctioning Russia, in the hope of isolating the latter. They have, by and large, failed on both counts. Western officials might point out that 141 of 193 countries supported […]

The occupied village was among 32 sites the UN chose as “top rural tourism destinations … for their cultural and […]

Our faith in the wobbling world of hyper-financialization will soon be tested. It’s interesting, isn’t it, that amidst a tsunami of commentary about banks, nobody mentions the proverbial elephant in the room, which is the overwhelming dominance of finance in the economy and society, a dominance which raises the big question: is the dominance of finance healthy for […]

“It should not be forgotten that this debacle of death and destruction was not only a profound error of policymaking; it was the result of a carefully executed crusade of disinformation and lies,” said one prominent critic. As the world this week mark the 20th anniversary of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, journalism experts weighed […]

In 2010, U.S. President Barack Obama met privately in the White House with the democratically elected (in 2010) new President of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych, to get him to end Ukraine’s neutralist position ever since 1991 and join the U.S. Government’s EU and NATO alliances against Ukraine’s next-door neighbor Russia, but Yanukovych said no. And, then, Obama’s Secretary of State Hillary […]

In an ironic twist, the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant in California received the first $1.1 billion nuclear bailout to keep operating, even though it was political leaders from California who had asked for a health study. If you thought the government of the United States, the country with the most nuclear power reactors in […]

In Moscow this week, the Chinese and Russian leaders revealed their joint commitment to redesign the global order, an undertaking that has ‘not been seen in 100 years.’ What has just taken place in Moscow is nothing less than a new Yalta, which, incidentally, is in Crimea. But unlike the momentous meeting of US President […]

“I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore.” So screamed the character Howard Beale in the 1976 movie “Network,” a prescient commentary on the corporate capture and slow suffocation of America. Howard was a prime-time news anchor who’d had enough. To some of his viewers, he was having a mental breakdown […]

Prominent French intellectual Emmanuel Todd argues the Ukraine proxy war is the start of WWIII, and is “existential” for both Russia and the US “imperial system”, which has restricted the sovereignty of Europe, making Brussels into Washington’s “protectorate”. A prominent French intellectual has written a book arguing that the United States is already waging World […]

When interest rates rise, bond prices fall (and stock prices tend to follow). However, banks don’t have to mark down the market price of their assets to reflect this declining valuation. They can simply hold on to their securities. They only have to reveal the market-price decline when there is a run on the bank […]

The secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, Ali Shamkhani, called for Iran and the United Arab Emirates to put their “family differences” aside during the important high-level talks in Abu Dhabi on 16 March.

Seymour Hersh joins Aaron Maté to discuss his report on how the Biden administration bombed the Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines, which blew up not only a vital Russian-German infrastructure project but a key off-ramp […]

Trannyism is Satanic because it attempts to override nature and normalize sickness. “In 2007, there were two pediatric “gender clinics” in the entire United States. Today there are close to 200. That’s not an accident or a response to public demand. Like everything else, it’s part of a planned and coordinated push that began with public indoctrination […]

Alexander Dugin We are actively and intensely demasculinated and dehumanised and those who resist are relegated to the margins, to the obscurantists, branded with the most disgusting labels and then killed. Contrary to the ‘traditional values’ enshrined in Decree No. 809, liberals still dominate in Russia as the legislators of the dominant paradigm, the episteme. […]

Trump has said he expects to be arrested on Tuesday over an indictment in New York.

His former attorney, Michael Cohen, pleaded guilty to charges […]

Located off the southern coast of Yemen in the Arabian Sea, the Socotra archipelago has become a focal point of regional and international interest because of its strategic proximity to one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes.

Another major Twitter Files bombshell has dropped showing how a foreign dark money group called the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) oversees a “vast censorship enterprise” that, among other things, works behind the scenes to hide the deadly truth about vaccines from the public. CCDH is just one cog in a much larger wheel of censorship […]

An unexpected announcement of an agreement shocked the world and above all the Zionist regime and its allies and the announcement shattered dreams of Israel for strengthening its footstep in the region and especially in the Persian Gulf. Yes. The sudden announcement of agreement between the Islamic Republic of Iran and Saudi Arabia which happened […]

A shocking article published by The Wall Street Journal in December 2020 has resurfaced.  In it, American physicians admitted to putting patients on ventilators who did not need it as a step in their protocol.  It was done not as a treatment likely to benefit the patient, but rather as a fruitless and callous way of attempting to […]

Imran Khan claims that the Pakistani authorities still want him dead before he can win re-election.

This country thrived and grew for years on a system of meritocracy. Excellence was not only what most people strived for but what most expected in every aspect of our lives.

The agreement announced on Friday in Beijing regarding the normalisation of diplomatic relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran and the reopening of their embassies is a historic event. It goes way beyond an issue of Saudi-Iranian relations. China’s mediation signifies that we are witnessing a profound shift of the tectonic plates in the geopolitics of […]

Alexander Dugin The story of the Hague Tribunal is symbolic. Russia has never before wondered what kind of institution it is. In reality, it is part of the implementation of World Government, a supranational political system created over nation states that are invited to cede part of their sovereignty to this structure. This includes the […]

If you think the banking collapse will end with Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), think again. Contagion is already spreading as Americans are waking up to the fact that the American financial system is a fraudulent Ponzi scheme that will result in financial ruin for many – especially those whose lives and livelihoods depend on it the […]

National Security Council spokesman John Kirby has been making curious pronouncements from the White House podium lately.  “LGBTQ+ rights are … a core part of our foreign policy,” Kirby said last week.  What does that mean, exactly?  Cross-sex hormones and gender surgery for your kids or you get no foreign aid? That will win hearts […]

With this banking crisis, which has serious Lehman vibes, it is a good time to revisit my article, Is This The End of The End of History, from March of last year.

The Seymour Hersch revelations about the Biden regime’s bombing of the Nord Stream pipelines have apparently struck a nerve, as the deep state actors have produced a counter-narrative to try to undermine them. But it is so laughably flimsy that it is tempting to enjoy it as a work of comedy and not critique it […]

An undercover Israeli special forces unit infiltrated downtown Jenin in the occupied West Bank and killed four Palestinians on 16 March, the Palestinian Health Ministry said. The four have been identified as 29-year-old Youssef Shreim, 28-year-old Nidal Khazem, 37-year-old Louay al-Zugheir, and 16-year-old Omar Awadin. Shreim, Khazem, and Zugheir have been claimed as members of […]

Protests and Popular Sentiment growing for “Peace In Ukraine – No weapons, no money for the Ukraine War.” On March 18 protesters will gather at the White House to call for an end to Joe Biden’s cruel proxy war. “Cruel” is the operative word, because the war cynically uses Ukrainians as cannon fodder to weaken […]

[…]

Great. Just ever-lovin’pea-pickin’ great. In LA some sixty thousand people–who really knows?–sleep on the sidewalks, in tents, cardboard boxes, sleeping bags, or not much of anything. Others live in their cars. The same in San Fran, Seattle, St. Louis. There being no bathrooms, they defecate as the urge hits, and where. What choice do they […]

Both Russia and China have publicly acknowledged the fact that Washington in pursuit of US hegemony disobeys international law, commits military and financial aggression, and interferes in the internal affairs of other countries. Yet Russia and China have still not announced a mutual defense treaty or made any effort to include other threatened countries such […]

From the Wall Street Journal – Economists are now estimating that 186 US banks may be prone to the same risks as Silicon Valley Bank.

The spending requested by Biden is on par with expenditures at the height of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars—even though those wars officially ended with the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan nearly two years ago.

By QTR: For the last year, among my friends, I’ve been saying about the market that something was “eventually going to break”. My readers over the last year won’t be surprised: they have heard me – and the content I aggregate – drone on and on about how, with rates as high as they are, it’s […]

In hopes of further spinning its geopolitical project of establishing a “belt of instability” around Russia, the Biden administration has recently started to place a special emphasis on working with the countries of Central Asia, seeking to turn these “five” into puppet states wholly dependent on the United States. For this purpose, since the end […]

The Western war machine only served its own interests in destroying a nation that could liberate Africa. On the 19th of March 2011, the NATO bloc began a violent 8-month long military onslaught of Libya, a sovereign African-Union founding member state, which had enjoyed four decades of stability, prosperity and one of the highest Human […]

The 20th anniversary of the war criminal US, UK and Australian invasion of Iraq in 2003 will fall on about 20 March 2023.

Every dawn, during my daily walk to the foothills of the Andes, I pass by the Tobalaba Aerodrome, a facility that caters to a wide variety of private aircraft.

Welcome to Whose Economy Is It, Anyway?, where the rules are made up and the dollars don’t matter. Or at least that seems to be the view of the Yellen regime. As Doug French noted last week, Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) was the canary in the coal mine. Over the weekend, Signature Bank became the […]

There are very few issues in the US politics, both domestic and foreign, that can draw the Republicans and the Democrats into a bi-partisan consensus.

The very public failure of SVB (Silicon Valley Bank) is raising concerns of a renewed wave of bank failures that threatens Western economies. The subtext is residual fear that the earlier (mid-2000’s) bank crisis was never adequately addressed. The very bankers who sank the banking system back then were handed trillions in public largesse to […]

John Anthony Castro is running for president as a Republican. He was born on the U.S. military base in Landstuhl, Germany and lives in Texas.  According to Ballotpedia, he earned a J.D. from the University of New Mexico School of Law, and an LL.M. from the Georgetown University Law Center. Castro’s career experience includes working as an […]

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna demonstrates women can be as psychopathic as their male counterparts. Luna is Latin for Moon. Lunatic is an insane person, once thought to be governed by phases of the Moon. I am convinced Anna Paulina Luna, a republican representative from Florida, is a Lunatic. It has nothing to do with the Moon. […]

The largest color revolution attempt in recent Iranian history is led by a woman on Washington’s payroll – and we have the facts. There are Iranian women, though a minority, who are not in favor of the mandatory veil – a legitimate grievance, an opinionated dissatisfaction to which humankind is entitled. And then there are […]

Ron DeSantis came out against our current blank check n’ hack cliches Ukraine policy, stating the indisputable truth that Ukraine was not a vital US interest worthy of risking World War III with Russia. The next day he was proven right when a Russian SU-27 knocked a US Reaper drone into the Black Sea. Hey, […]

History teaches that the greatest threat to peace today is the United States. No other nation creates dangers as great as those emanating from the U.S. commitment to the doctrine of Full Spectrum Dominance. As anti-imperialist and Anti-war activists are preparing to mobilize in Washington D.C. on the 20th anniversary of the illegal and immoral invasion of […]

I am in Ukraine today,” President Joe Biden declared in his dramatic trip to Kiev earlier this week, “to reaffirm our unwavering and unflagging commitment to Ukraine’s democracy, sovereignty, and territorial integrity.” For most of this first year of the Ukraine war, the American public remained strikingly supportive of Biden’s Ukraine policy. But soft spots have been […]

Though individuals who have been heavily propagandized to think that they are better-able to rate foreign Governments than the people who live under them are (and this helps ‘justify’ what their Government is doing to foreign countries, such as invading them and overthrowing their Government, and doing other things that their own nation’s billionaires want […]

  Steve Kirsch writes: This is progress. We knew this was bound to happen sooner or later. It has started and it is going to escalate from here. Watch Karl Lauterbach, Minister of Health in Germany, start the process. Executive summary “It wasn’t my fault!” We are going to see more and more of these […]

For Poles, as for all Europeans, the undersea explosion carried out by American, Norwegian and British terrorists is therefore the first shot of America’s full-blown war against Europe. So-called World public opinion probably sees my country, Poland as one of the most involved warmongers, always on the front line of an aggressive imperialist policy steered […]

The lockdowns and the stimulus required to keep the economy alive helped drive inflation. Then the Fed jacked up interest rates. And all hell broke loose. On Friday March 10th, 2023, Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) died of Covid. Alright, it’s a little more complicated than that, but Covid lockdowns followed by massive government stimulus were […]

From Aug. 7, 1789, when it was created, to September 18, 1947, the American people knew that their government had a Department of War and that it had an Army and a Navy for that purpose, both to defend the country against attack, as it did in 1812, and to make war, as it did […]

The headquarters of the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) in Moscow, linked to the Eurasia Economic Union (EAEU) is arguably one of the most crucial nodes of the emerging multipolar world.

Beijing is right to condemn the pact as spurring an arms race and undermining Asia-Pacific stability Earlier this week, a trilateral summit was held with the leaders of Australia, the United Kingdom and the US in San Diego to flesh out the details of an AUKUS deal providing Canberra with nuclear-powered submarines, with the intention […]

It was a momentous event, the importance of which is not perceived outside the Middle East: Saudi Arabia and Iran reconciled… in China.

The U.S. downplayed the importance of the China-brokered normalization deal between Saudi Arabia and Iran. The U.S. withdrawal from the JCPOA has resulted in a more aggressive stance from Iran. The burgeoning relationship between China and Iran – and China and Saudi Arabia – in recent years, Beijing was ideally placed to broker the landmark […]

The death of Ancient Rome wasn’t so much a collapse as a slow, interminable decay: between the second and sixth centuries AD, its population declined from a million people to just 30,000. Since then, 15 centuries have passed and thousands of cities have been built. And yet, as Rome’s greatest chronicler Edward Gibbon warned in 1776, a […]

There’s no doubt that upcoming Saudi moves in support of the petroyuan that are taken in coordination with Iran and Russia would catalyze the next natural phase of de-dollarization. Russian-GCC real-sector trade that’ll be carried out via Iran across the North-South Transport Corridor will be conducted in national currencies and thus prepare those three for […]

The Role of Bailouts and Speculative trade The elimination of the Glass-Steagall Act in November 1999 was essential to the process of dramatically cutting back the government’s role as a protector of the public interest on the financial services sector. The Glass-Steagall Act was an essential measure in US President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal. Some view the […]

Semi-partisan warfare in an urban environment The U.S. military is paying special attention to so-called urban warfare, as China has its own synonym for it – Chengshi Zozozhan (城市作战). This method is also referred to by Chinese military leaders as nothing other than “beating mice in a china store” (瓷器店里打老鼠), that is, performing something that […]

Ron DeSantis’s remarks on Ukraine were textbook realism and a throwback to an old Republican Party. erhaps the most bizarre combination of phrases was seen on a New York Post editorial concern-trolling Governor Ron DeSantis, who finally has started to comment carefully on foreign policy and who, judging by the looks of those angered, appears to be […]

“There is great chaos under heaven; [hence] the situation is excellent.” —Mao Zadong With staunch US support, Pakistan’s unelected “imported government” is trying to arrest former Prime Minister Imran Khan, the most popular politician in the country, to prevent him from running in elections.

Translated from Swedish – Original Swedish Version When the school authority in Sweden in 2018 wanted to restrict the history subject in terms of time and let the teaching start in the year 1700, their actions were met with strong protests.

The author last commented on the situation in Pakistan in connection with a large-scale terrorist attack on the (apparently) heavily guarded grounds of a Shia mosque on January 30 in Peshawar, capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Once again, the author has to state with regret that terrorist acts and simple guerrilla warfare in “problematic” regions are […]

The US drone, irrespective of whether it was armed and/or in international airspace, was obviously conducting reconnaissance on Crimea in preparation of Kiev attempting yet another attack there. Russia thus employed its UN-enshrined right to preeminently defend itself from this imminent US-facilitated strike by directing that hostile object away from the peninsula in order to […]

Former Chief Economist and Senior Vice President of the World Bank, Joseph Stiglitz, slammed the IMF for callously unleashing riots on nations the IMF is dealing with; he pointed out that the riots are written into the IMF plan to force Nations to agree with the average 111 conditions laid down by the IMF, that destroys […]

The Pakistani people can compel China into taking urgent action behind the scenes to de-escalate this crisis by publicly calling upon it to do so, which would also create the optics of their country’s US-backed fascist post-modern coup regime literally shooting at Chinese-friendly peaceful protesters, thus forcing China to get diplomatically involved if it isn’t […]

In the third and final part of his series, Nicolas JS Davies investigates the death toll of U.S. covert and proxy wars in Libya, Syria, Somalia and Yemen and underscores the importance of comprehensive war mortality studies.

In a report covering covid-19 period from March 2020 to March 2021 OXFAM’s research bring home some hard facts that are camouflaged by words & terms.

OXFAM says that these measures which cover […]

The failing 167-year-old Swiss usury branch of private central banking known as Credit Suisse is swimming in scandals, many of them horrendously appalling, that date back many years. Despite only just recently capturing headlines for its likely soon collapse, the ongoing stock selloff of the company actually began back in March 2021 following the collapse of […]

In America, we have an oligarch problem, and it’s much bigger than the oligarch problem that Putin faced when he became president in 2000. The entire West is now in the grips of billionaire elites who have a stranglehold on the media, the political establishment and all of our important institutions. In recent years we have […]

The United States might survive another 10 years, but the crises will increase in both frequency and intensity until the end. And, as Steve Bannon has said since Friday night, this is not your fault. You did not drive the dot com bubble. You did not cause the 2008 financial collapse. You did not impose […]

Ryan McMaken and Tho Bishop look at how the regime’s narrative on foreign policy is failing, and how some in Congress are finally standing up to the warfare state. Yet, the regime wants more US wars in Syria, Ukraine, and now even Mexico. And you will pay for it all. Will the voters demand a […]

The temporary lifting of Washington’s sanctions on earthquake-stricken and war-torn Syria is ‘misleading’ at best, and stands in the way of relief efforts. Four days after the devastating earthquake that struck southern Turkiye and northern Syria on 6 February, the US announced it would temporarily ease its Syrian sanctions in an effort to speed up […]

The on-going transformation of the world order inevitably affects the regional subsystems of international relations. Thus, in Northeast Asia, the crisis of several pairs of system-forming ties is immediately obvious: Russia-Japan, China-Japan and Japan-South Korea. Difficulties are also observed in the interaction between the PRC and the Russian Federation on the one hand and the […]

The inevitable outcome was clear for a decade at least, but in the run up to the Covid lockdowns there were many economists in the corporate media that outright denied the reality of an inflationary or stagflationary crisis.

The U.S. and Europe are the new sick men of the world. The Western response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine is widely seen as a sign of a reinvigorated alliance of democracies against authoritarianism. Even historically anti-war publications like the Guardian speak volubly about the West’s heroic “defense of liberty.” Raising concerns about petty issues like a […]

Claims made by transatlantic politicians and their media partners turn reality upside down—and would baffle even George Orwell. U.S. President Joe Biden, Western politicians and their media partners agree that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was “unprovoked.” The president of the country notorious for its numerous unprovoked wars of aggression called Putin a “criminal” for doing so. […]

The disinformation service, Bloomberg, takes the lead. Bloomberg points its finger at Donald Trump and “Trump era deregulation.” In Bloomberg’s rewriting of history,  Trump is responsible because he signed a bill passed by Democrats and Republicans that allowed mid-sized banks to “skirt some of the strictest post-financial crisis regulations.” So, where was the federal reserve? Where were […]

Within the last week, we have […]

Bibi is by nature cautious – even timid. His radical ministers, however, are not, Alastair Crooke writes.

A year later, this […]

As the geniuses running the western financial bubble (sometimes called an “economy”) continue to double down on their obsession to pump a dead financial system with ever more trillions in stimulus spending, arguments are raging among brainwashed economists living in denial over the oncoming systemic collapse. The failure of Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, and […]

After the implosion of the FTX crypto exchange run by Sam Bankman Fried, questions of due diligence and competency immediately arose, suggesting that perhaps the company mishandled assets “accidentally” and that Fried was naive and “in over his head.” Numerous central bank officials and globalist organizations jumped into the debate almost immediately, arguing that FTX […]

This paradigm of International Relations isn’t about upholding the UN Charter, but arbitrarily implementing double standards in advance of America’s interests and even sometimes at the expense of its own reputation in pursuit of its goals. This was recently expressed through its hypocritical approach towards Georgia-Moldova and Bosnia-Serbia as well as its equally hypocritical condemnation […]

The collapses of Silvergate and Silicon Valley Bank are like icebergs calving off from the Antarctic glacier.

Bank depositors meanwhile were […]

Journalistic Dumpster Diving A recent WSJ article “The U.S. Is Not Ready for the Era of ‘Great Power’ Conflict” by Michael R. Gordon has caught the attention of the Internet, perhaps because it is behind a paywall and has a catchy title, which encourages commentators on various websites. Paywalls are great teases. And titles are bait […]

The criminal investigation undertaken by the federal government against hundreds of participants in the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol is polarizing the country and shredding civil liberties.

Yesterday, World Health Organisation Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus announced “with great pleasure” a joint project of the IPU Parliament and WHO, “which can guide parliamentarians along the path towards health for all, including on law-making, finance, taxation, and accountability.” A few days ago, we published an article warning that the World Health Organisation (“WHO”) aims to begin […]

America’s self-inflicted trouble in Ukraine aggravates our dangerous trouble at home. The crisis of American national power has begun. America’s economy is tipping over, and Western financial markets are quietly panicking. Imperiled by rising interest rates, mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Treasuries are losing their value.

The big talking point of the week was the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, with a couple of hundred billion in assets evaporating overnight and blowing away on the morning wind.

It is obvious that, at least in The West, the U.S. side has already overwhelmingly won the propaganda-war part of the war against Russia in the battlefields of Ukraine; however, what about the ultimate military and diplomatic sides of that war — what will be the war’s outcome, in fact (even if not in myth)? Among the great geostrateic […]
