We’re Taught About Liberal And Conservative Bias In Media, But Not US Empire Bias

First We Go For Moscow, Then We Take Beijing – Pepe Escobar
The Global Majority is free to choose two different paths to counteract the rabid, cognitive dissonant Straussian neocon psychos in charge of imperial foreign policy; to relentlessly ridicule them, or to work hard on the long and winding road leading to a new multipolar reality.

Misinformed Westerners And The Demise Of Ukraine: “The West Supports The Destruction Of Ukraine And Its People” – Mark Taliano

Whether it involves a ‘food transition’, an ‘energy transition’, 15-minute […]
How It Got This Bad – Gregory Hood
If you build it, they will come. That’s the message of Richard Hanania’s The Origins of Woke.

It’s a message American conservatives won’t like, and it’s therefore something they need to hear. The American Right loves to […]
Thou Shalt Not (Censor) – Alex Berenson
More on the genius of Judge Terry Doughty’s decision yesterday in the Missouri v Biden social media censorship case.

Deep State Оr Mafia Cartel? – Julian Macfarlane
Proxy wars or gang wars? As I wrote in my last article— WWIII: Biden’s War—the US is on a collision course with destiny, an empire in decline, a nation divided.

Washington’s Afghanistan Debacle Is Prelude To NATO’s Ultimate Disaster In Ukraine

The Twisted Israeli Logic Of Murdering Palestinian Children – Ramzy Baroud
Israel kills Palestinian children as a matter of policy. This claim can easily be demonstrated and is supported by the latest findings of a Human Rights Watch report. The question is: why?

Is America Behind Massive Surge In Kiev Regime’s Child Trafficking? – Drago Bosnic
Human trafficking is certainly one of the most monstrous mass criminal activities ever undertaken by other humans (although calling them “humans” is a bit of a stretch).

Washington Needs An Obedient NATO
Each country prioritizes its own national security; however, the USA is using it as an excuse to trick other countries into paying for U.S. hegemony, Chinese analyst Song Zhongping is quoted as writing in The Global Times.

US And Israel: Is The ‘Unbreakable Bond’ Finally Breaking? – Ramzy Baroud
Israeli President Isaac Herzog added nothing of great value in his speech at the United States Congress on July 19. His was the typical language.

Is US Pulling The Plug On Kiev By Sending Ukraine-Bound Funds To Taiwan? – Drago Bosnic
It doesn’t take a genius to understand that leading a two-front war of any kind is an exceedingly bad idea. However, it seems the United States is determined to keep doing exactly that.

Kissinger’s Attempt At “Sino-Soviet Split 2.0” Destined To Fail

Build bridges, not walls The next Russia-Africa summit provides a unique opportunity for countries outside the US-centered world to establish their subjectivity and recall that global development goals are not restricted to ensuring the interests of the “golden billion” as they are framed in Western capitals.

Incredulous Observers: Why Have They Missed the «BRICS+» Moment? – Yaroslav Lissovolik
As the August 2023 BRICS summit draws near, there are more and more alarm bells ringing from various parts of the academic community regarding the “excessive ambition” coming from BRICS attempts to change global governance.

Latin America And West Africa – Patterns Of Neocolonialism – Stephen Sefton
The patterns of neocolonial intervention in the majority world by the United States and its allies since their victories over Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan in 1945 are very clear.

The liberation of Africa from the oppression of Western colonizers in the 1960s became one of the main themes of Soviet propaganda posters In the second half of the 20th century, the African continent lived through its own ‘parade of sovereignties.’ In 1960 alone, 17 new nations gained independence in what was formerly colonial Africa.

“US Has Committed Crimes Against Humanity And Genocide In Syria.” Interview With Scott Bennett
The US military occupation of the oil fields in north east Syria came under attack recently, and there were some who said it could foreshadow a US military withdrawal.

Make Peace, You Fools! – Douglas Macgregor
Incrementalism—the tendency to inch forward rather than to take bold steps—is usually preferred by political and military leaders in warfare, because the introduction of a few forces into action puts fewer personnel at risk, and, in theory, promises a series of improvements over time, often through attrition. In 1950, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, led […]
The CIA Threat To China Is Real, So Why Is It Being Dismissed? – Timur Fomenko
The US has admitted it is restoring its spy network in Beijing, but any efforts against it will likely be dubbed ‘paranoia’ Recently, CIA director William Burns said the US was working on “rebuilding” CIA networks in China.

America’s Constitutional Government Is Gone – Eric Zuesse
The few people who benefit from the U.S. Government’s being the world’s most powerful are U.S.-and-allied billionaires, who profit from the enormous sales of U.S.-made war-weapons and from the international extraction corporations such as Exxon-Mobil which rely upon its military, but all of this comes at the expense of the publics in every country including […]

The Glory Years Of The G20 Are Over – Fyodor Lukyanov

Kyrgyzstan Is Тhe US’ Next Regime Change Target – Andrew Korybko
What Senator Menendez demands is nothing short of a soft coup brought about by voluntarily reversing Kyrgyzstan’s recent “Democratic Security” successes under the Damocles’ sword of “security and economic” consequences if it dares to refuse. If he has his way, then suspected Color Revolutionaries will be released from prison, Western “NGO” intel fronts will be […]
Why America Is Losing The Tech War With China – David Goldman
Western media, for the most part, has ignored a remarkable array of Chinese pilot products in industrial automation, executed primarily by Huawei, the world’s largest maker of telecommunications infrastructure and the target of a global suppression campaign by the United States.

China’s ruler Xi Jinping has warned that the country is stepping up its war plans.

Is British Intelligence Pushing A New War In Kosovo? – Kit Klarenberg
No one in British parliament has been more aggressive in inciting ethnic tensions in Kosovo than Alicia Kearns.

Why Trump Is Winning The Primary, So Far – Sohrab Ahmari
Along the way, he is crushing the dream of many conservative professionals. In a decade and a half of punditry, I’ve had to eat my share of crow for incorrectly predicting voter behavior.

The Star-Spangled Kangaroo
A new US warship has been ushered into service in Sydney.

Oppenheimer, The War Criminal – Seiji Yamada

Vilnius Memo: Who’s Going To Bankroll This War? – Martin Jay
Most western leaders know that the time is up. They know that three key elections are going to play a huge role in putting the brakes on the campaign to continuously supply the Kiev cabal.

The Sudan Crisis And How It Could Be Resolved – Viktor Mikhin
The highly explosive situation in Sudan, caused by hostilities between Sudan’s army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, has raised many questions about the position taken by the international community, especially by the major global powers.

Is ‘The Jab’ Responsible For Killing Young Men? – Ray Cardello
Nobody on earth knows how long they will live in this world. We know that life expectancy has been growing for generations but has dipped in the last decade.

Korean Armistice At 70: Redefining Atrocities As Victory – James Bovard
Last week was the 70th anniversary of the armistice that ended the fighting between North and South Korea.

The Coming Crisis Of Cities: Reinvention Or Bankruptcy – Charles Hugh Smith
Those who got out early (i.e. now) will be glad they acted promptly and those caught in the decline will regret their faith in a high-cost system that was no longer affordable or sustainable.

A Bonfire Of The Vanities – Alastair Crooke
Hubris consists in believing that a contrived narrative can, in and of itself, bring victory, Alastair Crooke writes. Hubris consists in believing that a contrived narrative can, in and of itself, bring victory. It is a fantasy that has swept through the West – most emphatically since the 17th century.

Circle The Wagons: The Government Is On The Warpath – John & Nisha Whitehead

Truman How many […]
The Media’s “New Narrative”: Niger Is Now “A Global Epicenter Of Jihadi Terrorism” – Andrew Korybko
It’s full-blown fake news to claim that Niger is now a global epicenter of terrorism, but the MSM is expected to maximally amplify this false narrative in an attempt to scare the public into supporting the planned NATO-backed Nigerian-led ECOWAS invasion of that country. This approach risks discrediting itself, however, if it triggers the wrong […]
The West’s Blueprint For Goading China Was Laid Out In Ukraine – Jonathan Cook
The West is writing a script about its relations with China as stuffed full of misdirection as an Agatha Christie novel. In recent months, US and European officials have scurried to Beijing for so-called talks, as if the year were 1972 and Richard Nixon were in the White House. But there will be no dramatic, era-defining US-China pact this time. If relations are […]

Taliban’s Massively Successful Opium Eradication Raises Questions About What US Was Doing All Along And Why It Did Not Eradicate It – Alan Macleod
The Taliban government in Afghanistan – the nation that until recently produced 90% of the world’s heroin – has drastically reduced opium cultivation across the country.

Kiev Is Now Landlocked With No Access To Seas: After Taking Azov Sea, Russian Forces Are Blocking & Destroying The Infrastructure Of All Black Sea Ports In The Ukraine – Paul Serran
If there’s one aspect of the war in the Ukraine that cuts through the fog of war and the NATO propaganda with maximum efficiency is the question of access to sea ports. Having already lost the Crimean Peninsula in 2014, Ukraine also was driven out of all the coastal areas of the Sea of Azov […]

Lessons From The Korean War – M. K. Bhadrakumar
The psychology of forgetting and why memory fails is a tantalising topic in the life of individuals or nations. Cognitive psychology spawned many theories about it.

NATO Aggression Against Russia Becomes Total War – Drago Bosnic
On the night of August 4, the Kiev regime launched a sea drone attack against a Russian tanker.

The Great Unravelling: “For All That Is Ours, We Must Fight” – Alastair Crooke
It is getting very messy. Verging on insanity.

Half Of Russian Strategic Missile Divisions Now Use Hypersonics In Response To US Escalation

The Unwitting Coup: Was The Response To COVID Effectively A Coup By The Western Intelligence Community? – Dr. Robert Malone
The intelligence community to call out anything untoward about the response to COVID. Of course, that won’t happen, because they’re the ones who planned it.

It’s Never About The US President, It’s About The US Empire
The president is just the face of the operation, the name they put on the door that they change every few years to create the illusion that the US government is responsive to the will of the electorate.

The Middle East Is Once again West Asia – Chas Freeman
Shifting regional dynamics require the reconsideration and adjustment of longstanding American policies. Names make a difference.

Beheading Leviathan – Aaron Kheriaty
Two unanticipated events in 2016 completely shocked our ruling class: the election of Trump in the U.S., and the Brexit vote in the U.K. Our elites did not respond by examining the disconnect between their core assumptions and the will of the people.

Ukraine’s Latest Own Goal: Volodymyr Zelensky The Brand – Declan Hayes

The Oppenheimer Imperative: Normalising Atomic Terror – Dr. Binoy Kampmark

“Global Boiling”: An Assault On Reason And Science – Christopher Lingle
An interesting and troubling double standard is applied to the acceptability of individual actions and those of political agents. An individual declaring an emergency when none exists, e.g., shouting “fire” in a crowded cinema, would lead to rightful punishment, yet public officials can do so without attracting the same scrutiny. According to United Nations Secretary-General […]

In 1989, the American public was flooded with iconic images of brave Chinese students standing up to Chinese Communist tanks in Tiananmen Square—students who were then brutally slaughtered by the Chinese military.

Kaganism: The People Steering Us Into Another World War – Eric Striker
The Iraq war debacle, the relative (to Bush) restraint of the Obama administration, and the 2016 anti-interventionist campaign of Donald Trump may have seemingly discredited the neo-conservative movement and its personalities, but they have come roaring back.

What Is 21st Century Fascism? The Dictatorship Of Big Money – Richard Moser
Twenty-first-century fascism is the dictatorship of big money.

Syria: A Tale Of Plunder And Resurrection – Pepe Escobar
While the wholesale theft of Syria’s natural resources continues under the watch of illegal US troops, the Russian project of resurrecting ISIS-destroyed Palmyra stands as a stark reminder that ruins can rise again – if Syria’s friends help pave the way.

The US Dollar’s Monopoly Is Not Going Well – Peter Reagan

It collapsed in 1914, again in 1939 and […]
Shocking Extent Of Ukraine’s Unrelenting Demographic Collapse
Prior to the unfortunate dismantling of the Soviet Union, Ukraine was one of its most prominent republics, even rivaling Russia itself in numerous aspects.

Much of Soviet shipbuilding, advanced electronics, […]
America Since 9/11: 22 Years Of Lies And Despotism – Ryan McMaken

The Strange Rehabilitation Of The War Criminal Elliott Abrams – Melvin Goodman

RFK Jr. Vs. I.F. Stone On the Kennedy Assassinations – Ron Unz
Under the right circumstances, even an unsuccessful Presidential campaign can serve as a powerful lens for focusing public attention upon issues normally avoided by the mainstream media.

Albanian Narco-Terrorists, The KLA And The UK Cocaine Market
Since the 1990s, the United Kingdom has been one of the staunchest supporters of Albanian expansionism (mostly fueled by their unrelenting narco-terrorist tendencies).

The “Free-Speech Twitter” PSYOP Admin Consent Factory, Inc. – CJ Hopkins

An Exceptional Nation: American Double Standards – Kristian Laubjerg
The hypocrisy of the US is obvious: It says one thing but does quite another. Washington has been claiming to defend “human rights” all day long. But when international institutions try to investigate its crimes against humanity, it shamelessly undermines fairness and justice by slapping sanctions and threats of aggression. Only a bloodthirsty country behaves […]
The Graveyard Of Empires: What Is Happening In The Global Economy As The World Order Collapses – Nick Giambruno
“You have the watches, but we have the time.” The Taliban often referred to this old Afghan saying when discussing their fight against the Americans. Ultimately, they were proven correct.

The US-Australia AUSMIN 2023 Talks, Building For War Against China? The US Imperium’s Top End Spend – Dr. Binoy Kampmark
The AUSMIN 2023 talks held between the US Secretaries of State and Defense and their Australian counterparts, confirmed the increasing, unaccountable militarisation of the Australian north and its preparation for a future conflict with Beijing.

Russia’s Massive Baltic Sea Naval Drills Trash ‘NATO Lake’ Fantasies – Drago Bosnic
During the largely pointless NATO summit in Lithuania’s Vilnius in early to mid-July, the belligerent alliance made a number of “strong statements” that effectively had no substance, particularly the pompous announcement that the Kiev regime won’t be required to go through the MAP (Membership Action Plan) process, presenting the Neo-Nazi junta as being supposedly closer […]
The Myth Of NATO As A Defensive Alliance – Ted Galen Carpenter
Western leaders have long fostered the self-serving myth that NATO is an organization solely for the mutual defense of its members.

Blame Liberal Pluralism For The Impending Ethnocide Of Europeans – Ricardo Duchesne
Introduction What’s happening in the West is so patently absurd, the willful suppression for decades of increasing black-on-white violence, the flying of the rainbow flag everywhere, the demonization and falsification of European history, the insistence that black failures are a product of systemic white racism, the powerlessness of governments to stop endless waves of migrants, […]
Africa Defrauded – Fernando Gaillardo

Rehearsed Lives And Planned History – Edward Curtin

Niger Blasts NATO’s Global Narrative Wide Open – Declan Hayes
