Per Bylund via The Mises Institute. The state strives for power, and what grants power is fear and dependence. The state is making people dependent on it, both as means for control and as an outcome of many policies intended to provide relief. We have seen a lot of fear and dependence in this pandemic. Fear […]
The accession of Ukraine to NATO is a “worst-case scenario” that would cross a “red line” for Moscow’s interests and, if Kiev were accepted as a member, Russia would be forced to take measures to protect its national security. That’s according to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, who told Parisian TV channel France 5 about the […]
President Putin wrote in an article on Russian-Ukraine relations over the summer that his country’s neighbor was under “direct external control”, which was echoed by former leader and incumbent Deputy Chairman of the Security Council Medvedev earlier this week. This is an accurate observation and means that everything that’s happening there is somehow or another connected to Ukraine’s American […]

Top defense chiefs from NATO member states have given a green light to a new grand strategy on how to beat Russia in any potential all-out conflict, as Moscow says the move proves the US-led bloc isn’t open to improving relations.

The United States has now increasingly engaged in a series of fibs through media under its sway, national intelligence agencies, and numerous other avenues, with the express purpose of bringing Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud into disrepute. Prince Mohammed’s alleged involvement in the assassination of Jamal Khashoggi, a Saudi dissident, journalist, has […]
The arrival of the new US administration sparked increased friction with Turkey in 2021, leading to an even greater split in Ankara-Washington relations. In this context, as well as Washington’s blatantly growing disdain for Ankara, it is more imperative than ever to answer the following: “What do we expect to happen first: the removal of […]
The UK government has called out the Army to help ease the country’s fuel crisis by providing hundreds of troops to make deliveries to petrol stations, many of which have seen their pumps run completely dry amid panic buying.

Daniel R. Mandell’s The Lost Tradition of Economic Equality in America, 1600-1870 adds to the historical literature exploring American interventionism in the colonial and antebellum periods. Restrictions on prices, incomes, and ownership were not introduced as wartime measures or invented during the New Deal. Instead, as Mandell explains, they have been with us since the […]
Only the most self-interested and irresponsible forces would want to replicate the Syrian scenario anywhere else in the world, let alone in Africa’s second most populous country that’s among one of the most diverse on the planet, which is why Ethiopia’s resistance to these American-led destabilization efforts is so inspirational for Africans and others. The […]

There is so much scientific communication published on the non-mainstream media, pointing repeatedly and again and again to the absolute lack of justification for vaccinating children, for vaccinating adults, there is simply no justification for vaccination. Period. And this especially not with an experimental mRNA-genome altering injection – there is no justification for the entire […]
By Jacob Hornberger via The Mises Institute. One of the worst consequences of converting the federal government to a national security state has been the stultification or warping of the consciences of the American people.

By John Green – “Who is John Galt?” In the classic novel Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand described a future world in which proliferating regulations and restrictions progressively rob the world’s most productive people of the fruits of their labor.

By Pepe ESCOBAR. The usual suspects tried everything against Yemen. First, coercing it into ‘structural reform.’ When that didn’t work, they instrumentalized takfiri mercenaries. They infiltrated and manipulated the Muslim Brotherhood, Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), ISIS. They used US drones and occasional marines. And then, in 2015, they went Total Warfare: a UN-backed rogue […]
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Sunday he will personally engage in returning Georgia’s former president Mikheil Saakashvili back to Ukraine from a prison in Georgia as he holds a Ukrainian passport.

Jordan is reopening its border crossing with Syria and resuming flights to Damascus. In Syria, more armed groups are laying down their weapons. But amid these positive developments, the US is hunkering down to inflict more pain. On September 29, Jordan’s Nassib border crossing to Syria re-opened, meaning a resumption not only of travel but of trade between […]
The withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan in August 2021 demonstrated to the international community that Washington’s sphere of influence is shrinking and that the US army is not as all-powerful as it pretends to be. As in Afghanistan, Washington planned to establish a pro-American regime in the Syrian Arab Republic, but these plans […]
New Hampshire, like many other states, is deeply penetrated by military culture, funding, and institutions. Yet its presence is hardly visible to many people. This is amazing, as the military-industrial complex that President Eisenhower warned us about was a mere fragment of its scope today. An interactive map of the New Hampshire military-industrial-educational-recreational complex is […]
The Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, announced that “in Palestine, there is an oppressed people, an occupied land, and violated sanctities that no human being can be unconcerned with,” adding that the US and some Arab regimes “want to eliminate the heartfelt denial of Israel among our people.” Sayyed Nasrallah gave a televised speech […]
Big Pharma and the American government continue to assure the public that it’s safe to get vaccinated because doing so can help prevent the spread of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19). But according to a study, antibodies in people fully-vaccinated against coronavirus decline within three to seven months. Why are antibody levels dropping in vaccinated people? In a […]
Alexander Dugin’s The Great Awakening vs the Great Reset is an open declaration of war against the twin diseases of liberalism and Western political modernity. Dugin calls upon the inhabitants of the Heartland to relentlessly attack, on all theoretical and practical fronts, the global elites of the coastlands, who try to impose their perverse, anti-human […]
In some ways, we sympathize with Neel Kashkari’s fake “concern” about the unprecedented wealth inequality that has emerged in the US in recent years and which has resulted in a slow, methodical and relentless destruction of the US middle class … or rather make that precedented because there was another time when the top 0.1% had amassed as […]
The Toxic Policy Twins This October 20 headline in the New York Times is worth a ponder: “Where Are the Workers? How can so many Americans afford not to work? And will it last?” Good questions! As we all can see, the economy is running short of workers in high-visibility sectors, and it’s an open question as to whether this shortage is a […]
Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley claimed last week that China was close to a “sputnik moment” due to its successful test of a hypersonic missile. However, U.S. space-based early warning systems can detect hypersonic missiles, marking them as no threat at all. General Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff warned on Wednesday, […]
The US’ own ‘allies’ are the ones who considered AUKUS an ‘absolute surprise’, not Russia or China. Those latter two already knew what to expect when it comes to America, and it’s that the fading unipolar hegemon will always put its interests first at everyone else’s expense, including its ‘allies”. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria […]
A large-scale military exercise carried out by member countries of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) has concluded in Tajikistan.

The meeting’s agenda […]
For Iran to turn to the EU, once again, as a main partner in negotiating a future deal with the West, we should not expect too much any time soon. Something odd is happening with Iran’s troubled relationship with Washington. Remarkably, the EU seems to be playing a useful role as a scapegoat. Both Washington […]
YouTube will ban all “harmful vaccine content” from its platform, including claims that vaccines are ineffective at reducing disease transmission.

Alasdair Crooke via The Strategic Culture Foundation. Does Europe possess the energy and the humility to look itself in the mirror, and re-position itself diplomatically? Two events have combined to make a major inflection point for Europe: The first was America’s abandonment of the Great Game ploy of attempting to keep the two Central Asian […]
The world is a mess, and conservative politicians talk about increasing “defense spending.” This has obvious appeal. After all, who can be against defending the country? The problem is that most of America’s military outlays have nothing to do with defense. From 1789 to 1947, the U.S. had a Department of War. So when Washington […]
Much to President Biden’s relief, the US-led effort to reform the international corporate tax code appears to be moving along even more quickly than some critics had anticipated, although there’s still room for the deal to fail. After Ireland told the FT yesterday that it had signed on to the OECD tax plan by agreeing […]
Flavio Ferraro. Among the countless images of the 9 October demonstration in Rome – where tens of thousands of citizens peacefully protested against the liberticidal measures adopted by the Draghi government – one in particular tells us better than any philosophical essay about the era in which we live, beyond of the case in question.

Starting Tuesday Iran’s gas station network saw many thousands of stations go offline as Iranians across the country were unable to use government-electronic cards for government subsidized gas due to a massive cyberattack on the online system that allows payment processing. The network was reportedly down for at least 12 hours, with some gas stations being […]
By Charles Hugh Smith via OfTwoMinds blog. What if our commoditized, financialized definition of wealth reflects a staggering poverty of culture, spirit, wisdom, practicality and common sense? The conventional definition of wealth is solely financial: ownership of money and assets. The assumption is that money can buy anything the owner desires: power, access, land, shelter, energy, […]
Geopolitics is changing rapidly and the U.S. can not catch-up with it. The revival of Russia and the rise of China has changed the unipolar world into a multipolar one. Russia and China are balancing powers. The U.S. is no longer a unique superpower in the unipolar world. The U.S. must understand the realities and […]
Instead of letting their competition counterproductively spiral out of control like some ill-intended third parties hope to have happen in order to divide and rule them both, Russia and Turkey wisely realized over the years that it’s much better for their leaders to discuss their differences with a view towards reaching a series of pragmatic […]
By John Kemp, Reuters energy reporter Europe’s rising energy prices will force factory closures Europe’s increasingly expensive gas and electricity prices are sending a strong signal to manufacturers to consider temporary plant closures and to home and office owners to turn down thermostats to conserve fuel this winter.

Simon Black via SovereignMan.com. In the early summer of 1514, Spanish conquistador Ponce de Leon returned home to the court of King Ferdinand as a hero.

US-backed activists and regime-change operatives convened the Uyghur Tribunal to ramp up conflict with China, but wound up exposing major inconsistencies in their narrative.

A year ago, a provisional count of US presidential election results identified Democrat Joe Biden as the winner, promising “massive construction and record investment at home, as well as a big American comeback on the international scene.” Although Joe Biden emphasized his political experience during the campaign, he has been constantly haunted by setbacks in […]
The U.S. wars lost in Iraq and Afghanistan showed imperial overreach beyond what even 20 years of war could manage. That the defeats were drawn out for so many years shows that domestic politics and the funding of the domestic military-industrial complex were, more than geopolitics, the key drivers of these wars. Empires can die […]
Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned that the West isn’t taking his country’s “red lines” seriously and the US and its allies could be about to sleepwalk into a dangerous conflict with the world’s largest nuclear power. Red lines are about deterrence. The purpose of drawing them in the first place is to communicate crucial security interests […]
Simply denouncing them but declining to take any tangible action would have made President Erdogan look weak in everyone’s eyes unless they recanted their joint statement and apologized. He couldn’t afford to do that even though he must also have expected that Western pressure against him personally and his country more broadly will soon intensify […]
Activist-“philanthropist” Bill Gates has raised alarms with critics by suggesting that billions of dollars be invested into a global pandemic task force running “germ games” to prepare for future outbreaks or biological attacks.

Feltman didn’t come to Ethiopia to mediate peace, he came to deliver an ultimatum threatening a 20-year proxy war if his hosts don’t immediately surrender. US Special Envoy for the Horn of Africa Jeffrey Feltman released an extended and very manipulative statement ahead of his visit to the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa. This American official intended […]
The US is being forced to negotiate oil supplies with Russia and the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) due to the loss of energy independence under the current administration, the former US president has said. “For the first time, we had secured our energy independence.

By Kit KLARENBERG. Supposedly “independent” website Bellingcat raked in money from scandal-ridden Western intelligence firms that wreaked havoc – and reaped massive profits – in Syria.

India’s secretary for the environment, R.P. Gupta, told reporters on Wednesday that his government will not commit to a “net zero” target for carbon emissions.

By Thierry Meyssan In the global imagination, Facebook would be a responsible social network that allows everyone to connect confidentially while censoring messages contrary to local laws. In practice, it is quite different. Facebook collects information about you for the NSA, censors your opinions and beats its currency. In a few months, this company has […]
A new report from Italy’s Higher Institute of Health provides an objective analysis of the nation’s misleading covid-19 death tally. Italy’s official covid death tally rose to 132,161 in October of 2021. This tally is unrealistic because covid-19 was diagnosed in haste and under conditions of financial bribery using non-specific diagnostic criteria. Covid-19 was often listed as the […]

Pushing people back across borders; turning asylum seekers away from shores. When such tactics were openly adopted and used with impunity by Australia’s navy and border force, it caused outrage and concern in the maritime community and pricked the interest of border protectionists the world over. Disgust and outrage have, in time, been replaced by […]
France should embrace the multipolar trend of mutually beneficial cooperation in order to sustain its existing influence in parts of Afro-Eurasia as well as pragmatically expand it into new regions.

By Alasdair Macleod via GoldMoney.com. In recent years, America’s unsuccessful attempts at containing China as a rival hegemon has only served to promote Chinese antipathy against American capitalism. China is now retreating into the comfort of her long-established moral values, best described as a mixture of Confucianism and Marxism, while despising American individualism, its careless regard […]

Terry Paulding via AmericanThinker.com. The compulsion to find out whether the Wu Flu started in the Wuhan lab, and at whose behest the research was done, has been almost as strong as the desperate drive to stop anyone from finding the answer. On Sunday Morning Futures, Maria Bartiromo discussed this with Devin Nunes, wishing for the answer. Concurrently […]
With the expulsion of half of Russian’s diplomatic delegation to NATO, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Dimitry Peskov stated that “NATO is not an instrument of cooperation, not an instrument for interaction; it is a bloc that overall is anti-Russian in nature… These actions, of course, do not allow us to pretend there is a possibility of normalizing […]
