Trump’s ‘peace plan’ will never be meaningfully realised – and was never intended to be. It is simply a way to justify prolonging Gaza’s living hell The West has spent two years partnering Israel in its campaign of wanton destruction in Gaza. Now the United States – with the permission of a cowed United Nations Security […]

The EU/NATO combo cannot but play the role of pathetic yapping chihuahuas. That’s the price you pay for a matrioshka of supreme stupidity. No one ever lost money betting on the politically suicidal instincts of post-Orwellian EU – that acronym for a virtual Europe. Call them juvenile bipolar psychos or a bunch of yapping chihuahuas: […]

There are many ways in which investors steal from the public, but there also are ways in which they steal from each other — and Ponzi schemes are merely one example of that, but insider trading is another, and there are others as well. However, their biggest thefts, by far, are from the public, and […]

The fight for a free Palestine is also taking place on the streets of Western European cities, on the European and American university campuses and even in the stadiums and… airports. British airports under occupation. In the UK under the Counter-Terrorism and Border Security Act 2019, the British counterintelligence service, MI5, operating under the camouflage […]

This address was delivered to a conference at the European Parliament in Brussels on November 10, 2025.  Europe is in deep trouble today, mainly because of the Ukraine war, which has played a key role in undermining what had been a largely peaceful region. Unfortunately, the situation is not likely to improve in the years […]

Kiev’s establishment is burning to the ground in the Energoatom Mafia scandal, while the media and think tanks keep insisting this is fine In Ukraine, the front lines are crumbling and so is the Zelensky regime. While Kupyansk and Pokrovsk are falling, the shockwaves of the Energoatom Mafia scandal keep reverberating, internationally and at home […]

Borrowing more to maintain spending is hanging on by one’s fingernails, not middle-class security. The middle class is cracking, but if you want a statistic that “proves” this, there isn’t one. The cracking isn’t a statistic,it’s the culmination of observations logged over the past 15 years about these critical measures of what it takes to […]

Apparently, European leaders are gradually recognizing the current process of multipolar transition – but, instead of simply adapting to it, they are reacting negatively, lamenting the end of the previous world order. In a recent statement, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz commented on the decline of the “democratic” and “rules-based” Western system. Merz declared that the […]

The 2026 Trump summit might be the club’s final act Another G20 summit convenes this week in Johannesburg, but the mood surrounding it says more than the agenda ever will. The forum was born not out of ideology but necessity. Its creation at the turn of the century followed the Asian financial crisis of 1997–98, […]

Back in the ’60s, an interviewer asked the “King of Folk Music”, Bob Dylan, what his goal in life was. Bob answered something to the effect of: “I want to make enough money to go to college, so one day I can be somebody.” Bob had a good sense of irony. And certainly, he was […]

Summers is under fire for his Epstein ‘communications’. Another liberal icon seems to be getting crushed under the weigh of the Epstein curse: the stain, the reputational damage of having a long-lasting, well-documented ‘friendship’ with the convicted sex offender is very hard to cleanse. When it comes to former Harvard President and top economist to both […]

The combination of the Su-57’s unique capabilities and a battle-proven track record makes it a perfect force multiplier for the already strong Algerian Air Force which operates over 70 Su-30MKA fighters. The Su-57’s presence alone bolsters their capabilities, providing a robust deterrent at a time when US/NATO is destroying one sovereign nation after another. The […]

Beyond the optics of handshakes and photo-ops at the Busan summit, the much-hyped Trump–Xi meeting laid bare the paradox that defines US–China relations today: deep economic interdependence coupled with unrelenting strategic rivalry. Washington’s fear of Beijing’s ascent—and Beijing’s determination to rewrite the terms of global power—mean that even when the two leaders talk of “cooperation,” […]

While American companies chase monopoly profits and astronomical valuations, China has embraced a radically different strategy: open-source AI models that democratize access and slash costs by 60-80%. Two heavyweight boxers in the tech ring, vying for microchips, AI, and foundry technologies supremacy. In the blue corner, we have the United States of America, supported by […]

Governments assume they can print as much currency as they like and it will be accepted by force. However, the history of fiat currencies is always the same: first governments exceed their credit limits, then ignore all the warning signs and finally see the currency collapse. Today, we are living the decline of developed economies’ […]

Appearing recently on ABC’s This Week. Republican Representative Michael McCaul, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and Democratic Senator John Warner, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, criticized the Trump peace plan for the Ukraine War. McCaul said he would advise Ukraine’s leaders not to sign Trump’s plan without more “ironclad” security guarantees. […]

Yesterday, on Friday, a Reuters exclusive news-report about a potentially mega-historic change in America’s international relations and the world’s future, headlined “Exclusive: US sets 2027 deadline for Europe-led NATO defense, officials say” and opened: The United States wants Europe to take over the majority of NATO’s conventional defense capabilities, from intelligence to missiles, by 2027, […]

While Trump fires off tariffs and “oil ultimatums,” Moscow and New Delhi gear up for a summit that could reset their entire strategic relationship On November 17, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov met in Moscow with his Indian counterpart, Subrahmanyam Jaishankar. Jaishankar arrived in Moscow for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Council of Heads of […]

The corruption and the lies of the Western narrative are falling out like bodies from a rotten sack. The corruption fiasco that exploded last week in Ukraine shows beyond any doubt that the Kiev regime, headed up by Vladimir Zelensky, is an unmitigated disgrace and fraud. But it is not just the Kiev regime that […]

Russia is now fielding long-range, fiber-optic–controlled drones while simultaneously accelerating development of fully autonomous, AI-driven attack drones that mark a dramatic shift in its battlefield strategy. Ukrainian officials confirm that Moscow is deploying jam-proof fiber-optic FPV platforms with a 50-kilometer range, forcing Ukrainian units to cover supply routes with netting to protect vehicles from incoming strikes. At the same time, Russia […]

According to newly released emails, the United States Intelligence Community, led by the CIA and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, held regular meetings with Dr. Ralph Baric, one of America’s leading coronavirus experts, since at least 2015.

President Volodymyr Zelensky’s inner circle is accused of embezzling $100 million from Ukraine’s energy sector, diverting funds meant for nuclear plant defenses against Russian strikes. Wiretaps exposed a network of officials and businessmen, including Timur Mindich (a Zelensky financier), German Galushchenko (former energy minister) and others, allegedly laundering bribes through contractors. The scandal follows earlier attempts to weaken anti-corruption agencies (NABU […]

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is gradually “losing touch with reality” and “signing fantasy arms deals Ukraine cannot afford is no answer to the looming political and military crisis,” which is becoming a cause of concern in the West, argues British historian and journalist Owen Matthews in The Telegraph. “Travelling around Europe signing fantasy arms deals […]

In 2018, the US Naval War College Review published a paper titled, “A Maritime Oil Blockade Against China—Tactically Tempting But Strategically Flawed.” It was only one of many over the preceding years discussing the details of implementing a maritime blockade as part of a larger encirclement and containment strategy of China. At first glance the paper looks like US […]

I never thought I would see the day, but the day came Monday, when Ahmed al–Sharaa arrived at the White House for a sit-down with President Donald Trump and the usual gaggle of misfits who must be there to make sure the Trumpster understands at least a little of what is being said. A freak-show […]

As American warships patrol Caribbean waters and F-35 fighters prowl Venezuelan airspace, hawkish voices in Washington paint an enticing picture: A swift military operation to topple Nicolás Maduro, similar to the easy interventions in Grenada (1983) and Panama (1989). It’s a dangerous fantasy that ignores three decades of failed Venezuelan policy and fundamentally misunderstands the […]

‘Conspiracy theory’ is a term that strikes fear and anxiety in the hearts of most every public figure, particularly journalists and academics. Since the 1960s the label has become a disciplinary device that has been overwhelmingly effective in defining certain events as off limits to inquiry or debate. Especially in the United States, raising legitimate […]

What would you say if I told you that if there is even a 1% chance that Dick Cheney didn’t really die, we must consider his non-death a 100% certainly, track down his undead corpse, pound his heart full of stakes, and shoot him full of silver bullets? Anyone who actually carried out that plan […]

The visit of Pakistani Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee Chairman General Sahir Shamshad Mirza to Bangladesh to meet with Chief Advisor Muhammad Yunus was already concerning enough for India given Dhaka’s drift away from Delhi since August 2024’s US-backed regime change there. This ipso facto signified that Bangladesh will at the very least rely on Pakistan as a counterbalance to India instead or […]

A disturbing chart is making waves in the financial world. It’s a long-term view of job openings (blue) vs the S&P 500 (black). The dotted line shows when ChatGPT launched in November of 2022.

This is no laughing matter. Here they are together, MAGA Donald Trump, and former Al Qaeda leader Muhammed Al Jawlani, smiling with a U.S flag in the background.  “Besides showering compliments, President Trump also backed the former terrorist and said he believes that the “young man” has a lot of promise. He has a “real shot at doing a good job“ in war-ravaged Syria, […]

Video Link There are no easy fights in the struggle against the empire. Lots of losses and no clean wins.

All news-media that fail to report this are hiding it, because this series of recent events is the most historic turning-point since 25 July 1945 when the U.S. empire started: the world’s lone empire ever since 1991 is now clearly and decisively ending — the world ahead of us will be fundamentally different from the […]

A nation that has buried empires now reaches for a new dream of its own Russia stands today in a civilizational moment. After decades of ideological vacuum, we are again confronted with the central question: who are we, and where are we going? Our Foreign Policy Concept formally recognizes what history long revealed: that Russia […]

The old comfortable world is not coming back. The young – if anything – are much more radical. U.S. foreign policy, drenched in the hubris that the U.S. won the Cold War militarily (in Afghanistan); won it economically (liberal markets); and culturally too, (Hollywood) — and therefore rightly deserves, as Trump puts it, the “fun” of […]

Back in 2019, the United States had a dust-up with China regarding trade and tariffs, and as part of its response, China threatened to reduce the export of rare earth elements (REEs) essential for many civilian and military electronics.  The Chinese, then as now, held a dominant position in the mining and processing of these metals. […]

The “Reflections” of outgoing Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba on “Japan in World War II,” coupled with the death of the author of the landmark “Murayama Statement” on October 17, 2025, at the age of 100, have once again evoked debates about the country’s place and role in the greatest man-made catastrophe of the 20th century. […]

“The welfare state as we know it today can no longer be financed by our economy.” With that single sentence, Chancellor Friedrich Merz broke one of Germany’s and Western Europe’s greatest political taboos, daring to question the welfare state’s sacred status at a time when its economic costs can no longer be ignored. For decades, Germany […]

The 2026 midterms loom just over a year away and two recent polls, the Pew Research Center’s survey on partisan perceptions and Politico’s national poll on the “American Dream”, paint a dismal portrait of America’s current standing. The polls reveal not only disillusionment with political parties, but a deeper existential rift as the public becomes increasingly skeptical of America’s […]

I wrote about the coming Trump and Xi meeting in South Korea a week ago and predicted the meeting, while likely outwardly friendly, will be a nothing burger in substance and long-term impact. They met a few days ago and the result is very much as expected. Progress was made, mainly in transactional areas such […]

On March 6, 2019 the Lava Jato taskforce announced that the US DOJ was transferring 80% of the fines it levied against Petrobras to the Brazilian Public Prosecutors Office (Ministerio Publico Federal/MPF) to set up a privately managed “anti-corruption investment fund” that would bypass all of the public institutions and laws that were set up to protect against corruption, […]

The shift enables the two countries to avoid the “unfriendly” Western banking system, Anton Siluanov has said Russia and China have essentially eliminated the use of Western currencies in trade, with almost all payments now carried out in rubles and yuan, Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov stated on Tuesday. According to Siluanov, 99.1% of settlements […]

As grocery prices have risen, demand at food banks throughout the country has surged to very alarming levels.  At the end of 2024, I wrote about how demand at food banks had risen to record levels all over the United States.  Unfortunately, demand has continued to rise in 2025, and now the government shutdown has shifted […]

Video Link Massacre fetishist Lindsey Graham said “Trump is my favorite president” because “we’re killing all the right people and we’re cutting your taxes” during a speech to the Republican Jewish Coalition Annual Leadership Summit on Friday. “We’ve run out of bombs; we didn’t run out of bombs in World War II,” the senator said.

“But these weren’t the kind of monsters that had tentacles and rotting skin, the kind a seven-year-old might be able to wrap his mind around—they were monsters with human faces, in crisp uniforms, marching in lockstep, so banal you don’t recognize them for what they are until it’s too late.” Ransom Riggs, Miss Peregrine’s Home for […]

The current situation in Gaza is far from stable. Nevertheless, as part of agreements between the U.S. and Middle Eastern nations, negotiations are underway to introduce a contingent of peacekeepers from Muslim countries into the Gaza sector. In early October, an agreement for peace in the Gaza sector was signed in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, at […]

Monsters don’t always come wrapped in the trappings of horror or myth. Most often, monsters in the real world look like ordinary people. They walk among us. They smile for the cameras. They promise protection and prosperity even as they feed on fear and obedience. All is not as it seems. We are living in […]

On November 3rd, the neoconservative Columbia University political ‘scientist’ Elizabeth N. Saunders, who is also the Director of Columbia’s Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies, headlined “Trump may strike Venezuela. His team makes that very risky. Take a close look at who is advising the president on U.S. policy.” She argued that Trump’s incompetence instead of any evilness […]

It appears that this government shutdown could go on for a while, and that is not good news for the U.S. economy at all. On day 28 of the shutdown, the U.S. Senate failed to advance a bill to end the shutdown for the 13th consecutive time. They can keep holding more votes, but the […]

With complete impunity, the neo-Nazi regime in Kiev is openly engaging in odious practices against civilian non-combatants that constitute a grave violation of international law and a crime against humanity. As Russian troops advance and take control of an increasing number of towns and settlements, one of the ways in which the Kiev authorities are […]

The U.S. is reportedly planning to send troops and intelligence officers into Mexico to target drug cartels, former and current U.S. officials told NBC News Monday. Training has reportedly already begun for such a mission, two current U.S. officials told NBC News, though no deployment to Mexico is imminent. The plan would deploy both U.S. military […]

The U.S. military redeployment is a strategic response to the real and present danger posed by China, which seeks to dominate the world through AI capabilities and military might. The rise of decentralized AI, such as Enoch, is a positive development that can help counter the centralized control and manipulation of information by Big Tech […]

NATO is at war with itself and against peace in Europe. The long and dirty history of Operation Gladio and NATO terrorism in Europe is at hand once again. The U.S.-led proxy war against Russia is expanding to the territories of European Union and NATO member states. Remarkably, it appears that the NATO military bloc […]

The first transit voyage from China to Europe took place via the Northern Sea Route, a trans-Arctic route that halved cargo delivery time compared to traditional routes. For several years now, global geopolitics has been undergoing a profound reconfiguration marked by the erosion of the hegemony of the Western bloc and the assertive emergence of […]

  Tucker Carlson asserts that Russian President Vladimir Putin is globally admired outside Western nations, contrasting sharply with Western media’s demonization of him. Putin’s appeal stems from prioritizing Russia’s sovereignty and national interests—something Carlson claims Western leaders fail to do for their own countries.

US President Donald Trump has just made news by stating that his Argentinean counterpart, Javier Milei, “had a lot of help” from Washington to secure his party’s midterm election victory. Whatever other form that help might have taken, it’s clear the American bailout certainly helped. In any case, Trump administration’s recent moves — a $20 billion rescue package for Argentina and […]

Putin remains focused on achieving a new Europe-wide security architecture, writes Alastair Crooke. Trump’s attempt to build a ‘Budapest scenario’ (i.e. a Putin-Trump summit grounded on the earlier Alaska ‘understanding’) was unilaterally cancelled (by the U.S.) amid acrimony. Putin had initiated the 2.5 hr Monday call. It reportedly contained tough talking by Putin about the […]

The events of the past days mark a new stage in the imperialist military escalation against Russia and the preparations for a third world war. The meetings of the European Council in Brussels on Thursday and the so-called “Coalition of the Willing” in London on Friday were not ordinary diplomatic gatherings but war summits. Together […]

None have produced any actual agreement. This is for a very simple reason: Trump refuses to respond to other countries’ national-security needs, their necessities — their need to retain their sovereignty over their territory, not yield control over it to a foreign power (the U.S. Government). Trump has rejected their right to national security. He […]

Oh, how lucky we are to live in an era of such huge and beautiful peace. An age in which the free and not-so-free world alike can join hands in brotherhood around that shining dumpster fire on the hill and welcome in the dawn of a new Middle East. Or at least this is the […]

A philosophical and moral comparison between modern Russia and the West shows that Russia remains a bastion of realism, strength, and self-sacrifice, whereas the West has lost its will to live, turning into a civilization of moral weakness, illusions, and self-destruction. The modern West despises Russia on a philosophical level because the West is a […]

According to several recent news reports, the two major Trump foreign policy shifts last week are the handiwork of Marco Rubio, the President’s Secretary of State and (acting) National Security Advisor. As with all neocon plans, they will be big on promises and small on delivery. First up, according to Bloomberg it was Rubio who […]

On the Signal-Soaked Flushing of Chrystia Freeland Last month, an announcement was released from the Prime Minister’s office in Ottawa thanking Chrystia Freeland for her service as Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister of Canada … while alluding to the fact that her political sun was setting.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova recently coined the nickname “Osama Bin Sikorski” for Polish Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski after he posted on X about his hope that Ukraine “finally succeeds in knocking out” the Druzhba oil pipeline that supplies Hungary. That was in response to his Hungarian counterpart Peter Szijjarto criticizing a Polish judge’s ruling on the Nord Stream suspect, which enraged his country for the […]

Malthusian culture is a problem Anglo-Saxons don’t want to correct, writes Bruna Frascolla. It’s funny that demographer Emmanuel Todd is celebrated after his predictions are confirmed; after all, his assessment of countries’ failure or success is independent of the events that confirm his predictions. Todd predicts a country’s collapse based on declining birth rates and […]

Putin issued a stark warning that Ukraine’s use of U.S.-supplied Tomahawk missiles (range: 2,500 km) to strike Russian territory would provoke a “very serious, if not downright staggering” response, potentially including nuclear retaliation. Putin framed Western military aid—such as long-range missiles—as deliberate provocation, warning it would undermine peace prospects and worsen U.S.-Russia relations, echoing past […]

It is no secret that Donald J. Trump, head of the American Empire, desperately wanted the Nobel Peace Prize. For months, he had been lobbying for it, presenting himself as a peacemaker. A “humanitarian who can move mountains with the sheer force of his will”. His lust for the prize, driven at least in part […]

We are nine months into the Donald Trump presidency and the road ahead seems pretty clear. There is an unsustainable one trillion dollar Pentagon budget supporting a newly renamed Department of War and Washington is engaged in conflicts that could escalate in Europe, Asia, South America and Africa. If it were possible to stage a […]

Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever stubbornly refuses to go along with the latest absurd idea from the EU bureaucracy: seizing Russia’s assets in Belgium to offer them to Ukraine. Politico scolds him, claiming he is “harder to convince than Trump” (the ultimate embodiment of evil, apparently).Confiscating Russia’s sovereign assets in Belgium would indeed be […]

Military professionalism, an emphasized principle in the Prussian model, is what created the mindset of the Arab officer corps that they represent the backbone of the state, or more correctly, “THEY ARE” the state. Not many analysts want to highlight that the Arab world still employs inherited governance structures, shaped by German advisors who arrived […]

In the global chessboard, Beijing will keep stressing the power of the “multilateral trading system.” As in the absolute opposite of Trump 2.0. Four days in Beijing. The fourth plenum of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was really something to behold. Methodology matters. What happened these four days is that delegates […]

For the last two years, my social media algorithm has been relentlessly dominated by Gaza, particularly by the voices of ordinary Gazans, displaying a blend of emotions that centers on two core principles: grief and defiance. Grief has characterized life in Gaza for many years, a consequence of successive Israeli wars, the unrelenting siege, and […]

It’s no secret that most (if not virtually all) Western countries have been acting like robbers and pirates (for centuries, at this point). Stealing, looting, pillaging and destroying entire societies and civilizations seems to be the political West’s favorite pastime. There’s not a single continent on this planet where Western colonialists haven’t set foot, proclaiming […]

What we observe today in the Middle East is Israel attempting to expand to the “Greater-Greater Israel”, including Iran and possibly Iraq. It is the Oded Yinon Plan of the early 1980s, not known to most people even Israelis. The plan goes way beyond the Greater Israel plan. Pursing this plan means endless war and bloodshed. Neither […]

Former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev and close Putin-ally has blasted President Donald Trump’s new sanctions against Russia’s oil giants as an “act of war” which puts the United States on the direct warpath with Russia. “The US is our enemy, and their talkative ‘peacemaker’ has now fully embarked on the warpath with Russia,” Medvedev, who […]

The current leaders of the EU nations except Hungary and Slovakia are obsessively following the U.S. regime’s lie that their national security stands imperiled because of Russia’s 24 February 2022 invasion of Ukraine, which was in fact a necessary self-defensive response by Russia against America’s coup-seizure of Ukraine in 2014 (which started and caused the […]

It has been noted on multiple occasions that ROK President Lee Jae Myung, when describing inter-Korean policy in his speeches, voices mutually exclusive passages, which brings us to the assumption that each “tower” within the Blue House is pulling to its own side.

Millions participated in the second wave of “No Kings” demonstrations, with over 2,700 events and an estimated seven million attendees, marking one of the largest coordinated civil actions in U.S. history.

Someone should tell Zelensky’s stylists that the black suit he wore during his meeting with Trump is only worn at funerals in formal male attire. Let’s recap: the United States of America has been planning and implementing NATO’s eastward expansion in Europe for years in order to strike at Russia, they stage a coup in […]

Trump and Putin are meeting in Budapest—a summit heavy with symbolism, where far more is at stake than the fate of Ukraine. Behind the diplomatic choreography, the global balance of power is being renegotiated. Europe watches—but can it still shape the rules of the game? In Budapest, history stands at a crossroads: between a fragile […]

Americans are justifiably appalled at President Trump’s attacks on Venezuelan boats and his bombastic threats against Colombia. But at least the Trump administration is slashing federal spending for democracy promotion efforts around the globe. Curtailing of U.S. pro-democracy meddling is the most positive foreign-policy reform of the Trump presidency.  Since 1946, the U.S. government has […]

Iran’s national security is severely endangered by Israel and the United States, and there has long been speculation as to whether Russia will be involved on the side of Iran if yet another invasion is made against Iran by the U.S. and/or Israel. Apparently, that speculation is now over, because Russia has finally committed itself […]

Hamas’s victory over Israel will go down in history as one of the most stunning upsets in the history of modern warfare. It will be studied by future resistance groups for instructions on how a guerrilla army can achieve its aims despite facing an adversary with seemingly insurmountable advantages in weaponry, technology, funding and international […]

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer visited India to promote previously reached trade agreements; however, the negotiations have laid bare the extremely limited reach of London’s influence on New Delhi. During the latest UK-India summit held on October 8-9 in Mumbai, London once again made an unsuccessful bid to affect New Delhi’s course regarding Russia, to […]

Sanctions will not stop the war. And the longer they go on, more Ukrainians will die. I recently participated in a debate in London about the effectiveness of sanctions as a tool of foreign policy. I argued that they have proven ineffective as a tool of foreign policy, and kept my remarks focussed on Russia, […]

GDP is like collecting data on passenger satisfaction with the dessert cart on the Titanic and declaring everyone is delighted as the great “unsinkable” ship settles into the icy waters of the Atlantic. That Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is an outdated and misleading metric of the economy is widely accepted. The problem isn’t an abstraction, as we […]

WHAT THE U.S. CONSTITUTION SAYS: “The Constitution’s Article I, Section 8 specifically lists as a power of Congress the power “to declare War,” which unquestionably gives the legislature the power to initiate hostilities. The extent to which this clause limits the President’s ability to use military force without Congress’s affirmative approval remains highly contested.” MY […]

RT has imagined such a development with the help of AI-created deep fakes Have you ever wondered what kind of place the world could have become if Western leaders had been just a little more honest? What might have happened if they had questioned—or at least reflected upon—their actions? Look no further: RT has imagined, […]

On October 9, Israel and Hamas announced the adoption of a cease-fire agreement involving the release of all hostages held by Hamas. Israel, in exchange, agreed to allow for the entry of humanitarian aid, to release Palestinian prisoners, and to withdraw its forces to a so-called “yellow line” from which they will still control all land crossings […]

Gaza is an occupied territory. Its borders, airspace, imports, exports, and even calories are controlled by Israel and its Western backers. Gaza does not need another flag flown above its ruins; it needs the right to rebuild on its own terms. The Mirage of “Transition” Western governments are preparing a plan for Gaza’s postwar administration. […]

That is where we are today. The Federal Reserve has used its tools to lock inflation into our lives for some time to come. For most citizens, our major challenge today is to fight the rise in prices for consumables that matter most to us: food, housing, clothing, and transportation. Over the past 5 years, […]

With his first message that Ukraine is not ready for EU membership, Andrej Babiš announced a dramatic shift from Prague’s previous policy, which was one of the most extreme in terms of Russophobia. With Viktor Orbán in Hungary, Robert Fico in Slovakia, Karol Nawrocki in Poland, and now Babiš in the Czechia, the Visegrád Group is emerging as a strong sovereignist bloc in […]

The future of the former “Western Regions”: an energy-rich, multi-cultural, multi-religious, geostrategic New Silk Road hub of “moderately prosperous” China. YUTIAN, ON THE SOUTHERN SILK ROAD – We are on the road in southern Xinjiang, after a harrowing back-and-forth in the Taklamakan, across the sand dunes, to visit the “lost tribe” cum village of Daliyabuyi, […]

Watch the debate here. Auron MacIntyre: Hey everybody, how’s it going? Thanks for joining me this afternoon. I’ve got a great stream with some great guests that I think you’re really going to enjoy. I’ve had the pleasure of interviewing both of these men previously, Alexander Dugin and Nick Land. I think both are critical thinkers […]

The confrontation between the United States and Brazil has been going on for several months already, amid the latter is also living through political polarization, which has both internal and external factors. The two main reasons for the US pressure on Brazil are the demand to make concessions on new tariffs and the trial of […]

Recent anti-government protests in Georgia suggest that after spreading chaos and political destabilization in Asian countries, the West seeks to destabilize the eastern European region. Opposition Protests and the EU Membership Controversy After recent municipal election in Georgia, all the opposition parties have launched massive protests in Tbilisi, declaring the victory of the Georgian Dream […]

9 October 2025, by Eric Zuesse. (All of my recent articles can be seen here.) Eric Zuesse’s: Ryabkov said that due to the determnation of EU leaders (meaning especially Starmer, Macron, Merz, and von der Leyen) to defeat Russia, the vacillating Trump is being moved to side with his neoconservative appointees, Keith Kellogg, Marco Rubio, […]

The United States has once again vetoed a ceasefire resolution for Gaza, refusing to recognize Israel’s actions as genocide. This is not just a political article. It is an indictment. A document drafted in real time, bearing witness to a crime being committed before our eyes with chilling methodicality. A crime whose chief sponsor, instigator, […]

1 in 7 Christians are persecuted worldwide. 1 in 5 Christians are persecuted in Africa. 2 in 5 Christians are persecuted in Asia. Everybody follows the situation surrounding Israel and Palestine, American tariffs, and the Ukraine conflict, but the issue of systematic Christian persecution is often forgotten about. In an era defined by globalized and […]

Russia modified Iskander-M and Kinzhal missiles to execute sharp terminal-phase maneuvers, reducing Ukraine’s interception rate from 37 percent (August) to six percent (September). Ukrainian officials call this a “game-changer,” demonstrated by successful strikes on key targets like a Turkish drone factory and EU/British offices in Kyiv. Iskander missile has a 500 km (310.7 mi) range, hypersonic submunitions […]

In 1918, the Austrian political scientist Joseph Schumpeter delivered a now-famous lecture titled “The Crisis of the Tax State.” The question he addressed was whether or not the First World War would bring about a destructive fiscal crisis for European states. Would the burdens of post-war debt and taxation threaten to destroy these states? Many […]

The history of Zionism is fundamentally one of deception. This assertion is critically relevant today, as it contextualizes the so-called ‘Trump Gaza proposal,’ which appears to be little more than a veiled strategy to defeat the Palestinians and facilitate the ethnic cleansing of a significant portion of Gaza’s population. Since the start of the current […]

On September 20 and 21, the 13th Session of the 14th Supreme People’s Assembly of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea was held in the DPRK.   Since late 2023, experts in Korean studies have been keeping their eyes on what takes place at sessions of the Supreme People’s Assembly (SPA) of the DPRK. Firstly, they are […]

A shift in world order usually occurs through war. Very rarely are those who wield global power willing to relinquish it voluntarily. They hold on until the very end, until they are destroyed and reduced to ruins. The same is undoubtedly true today. Different twists and turns happen in history, of course. Therefore, one could […]

The International Movement for a Just World (JUST) joins a whole host of Malaysian groups and individuals in appealing to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to formally disinvite President Donald Trump from the forthcoming ASEAN Summit to be held in Kuala Lumpur from October 26th 2025 to October 28th 2025. JUST understands the difficult situation Prime Minister Anwar is in. […]

As UN Secretary-General António Guterres put it, the world can’t achieve the 2030 Agenda without the energy, ideas, and leadership of the (Global) South. The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Tianjin Summit is a living testimony to this point. During the event, more than 20 heads of state along with ten heads of international organizations gathered […]

Voters have dealt a sharp blow to Petr Fiala’s government – but no “regime change” looms on the horizon The long-anticipated parliamentary elections in the Czech Republic are over. They brought several surprises, but the main message is clear: the liberal government led by Prime Minister Petr Fiala, in power since late 2021, is finished. […]

The Israel Lobby Wants Thomas Massie Gone. Will American Voters Obey their Israeli Masters? “Pro-Israel Republican megadonors recently set up the MAGA Kentucky super PAC with $2 million specifically to oust Massie. Paul Singer contributed $1 million, John Paulson added $250,000, and Miriam Adelson’s Preserve America PAC provided $750,000. The Republican Jewish Coalition has promised “unlimited” campaign […]

It would be an interesting exercise if one might view and consider in retrospect the week that began with the United Nations General Assembly speech in New York on September 23rd that included the “Your countries are going to hell” performance by President Donald Trump followed on the 26th by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu experiencing the boycotting UN Delegate walk-out before […]

The overwhelming majority of government speakers at the 80th United Nations General Assembly this week defended peace. They demanded cooperation, mutual respect and dialogue between nations. In contrast, the representatives of the collective West defended their usual arrogant, overbearing positions and policies, although they clearly violate the fundamental principles of the UN of self-determination of […]

And so the UK’s Digital ID is official. Not legal, no laws have been passed, not even real in the sense it exists at all. But it is official, with the full backing of the Labour Government. I have talked and written extensively and at length about the planned rollout of Digital ID, the many […]

An era of mediocrity is at the helm of a once mighty and prosperous Europe, which, due to its leaders, is now slowly but surely heading toward its decline. The current European nonentities have replaced titans—flawed, perhaps, but figures with gravitas, charisma, and historical will. There was Merkel, who could take a punch; Macron, young […]

“Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered, yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.”  —The American Crisis, by Thomas Paine 1776 “If war aims are stated which seem to be solely concerned with Anglo-American Imperialism, they will offer little to people in the rest of the world. […]

Strange times, indeed, folks. Strange times. Should we be concerned? I think so. In the end, I am sure it will work out, but there will likely be a lot of time between now and the end. So, we will have to endure some pretty radical changes during that time. And many of these changes […]

The past several weeks has witnessed tensions between EU political elites and the Kremlin escalating, needlessly. A contrived drone incident in Poland, Estonian airspace allegedly being violated by Russian planes, and East European politicians urging NATO to shoot down Russian aircraft — it all points to a deliberate attempt to provoke Moscow and garner Washington’s attention. But […]

After decades of increasing global integration, signs of geopolitical and economic fracturing are becoming more visible. The trend arguably began with the U.K.’s decision to leave the European Union (Brexit), occurring around the time global trade peaked as a share of global GDP. More recently, a coalition of BRICS nations, led by China, India, and […]

Russia will not allow anyone to participate in placing in Ukraine weapons that can be used to decapitate Russia’s central command, The Kremlin. If that placement happens, there will be a blitz attack immediately by Russia to take out this grave threat, and any retaliation by the U.S. empire, against that defensive measure, would force Russia […]

Kiev’s military suffers from a shortage of manpower, not missiles.  Days after President Donald Trump predicted that Ukraine could win a war it has been losing for the past three years and regain “the original borders from where this war started,” Vice President J.D. Vance announced the possibility of sending Ukraine Tomahawk missiles that it […]

The Russian president covered a wide range of topics at a packed event in Sochi on Thursday Russian President Vladimir Putin attended a session of the annual Valdai Discussion Club in Sochi on Thursday. The Russian leader delivered a keynote speech, took part in a panel discussion, and answered questions from the audience. Over the […]

Putin can live with Trump’s ‘Janus schizophrenia’ – as Russian forces advance on all key battle fronts. The second stage to Trump’s ‘hand-off’ of the Ukraine war to the Europeans was clearly set out in his Truth Social post of 23 September. In the first phase of the hand-over, Trump withdrew from being the primary supplier of armaments […]

As U.S. warships gather off Venezuela’s coast and Washington prepares possible drone strikes, the official narrative of a “war on drugs” crumbles. What is at stake is not narcotics, but sovereignty, oil, and the global contest between multipolarity and American hegemony. The latest escalation of U.S. military pressure on Venezuela is taking on increasingly dangerous […]

Malaysia has recorded increased investors’ interest and confidence from BRICS countries, with total investments approved for the first quarter of 2025 reaching RM8.54 billion (1 RM = $0,237) Malaysia has recorded increased investors’ interest and confidence from BRICS countries, with total investments approved for the first quarter of 2025 reaching RM8.54 billion (1 RM = […]

On September 19th, the UN Security Council voted to reimpose savage economic restrictions on Iran over its nuclear program. European leaders have in recent months repeatedly accused Tehran of refusing to abide by the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action’s terms.  A core, repeated claim is the Islamic Republic has collated a uranium stock over 40 times the […]

Veteran British politician George Galloway and his wife were detained at Gatwick Airport under the Terrorism Act. Galloway claims nine-hour detention and seizure of devices was politically motivated. Police stop came under Counter Terrorism and Border Security Act to question about “hostile activities.” Politician denounces action as threat to free speech and criticizes British intelligence […]

The international monetary system has already passed its point of no return to an international monetary order centered on a single national reference currency. The July 2025 FEDS Notes document, entitled The International Role of the Dollar – 2025 Edition, prepared by the Federal Reserve, released updated data on the usage index of the essential […]

The United States is escalating its confrontation with China under the guise of “deterring aggression,” while in reality reorienting its global strategy toward maintaining hegemony over Asia through destabilization, political manipulation, and military buildup. In late May 2025, US Secretary of Defense (now called the “Secretary of War”) Pete Hegseth warned the world the US was in […]

Dmitry Medvedev, former Russian President and deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, issued a chilling nuclear warning, stating Russia possesses weapons capable of bypassing even the strongest bomb shelters—directly threatening the U.S. and NATO. The threat came in response to Ukrainian President Zelensky’s remarks about targeting Russian infrastructure with U.S.-supplied weapons, further inflaming tensions between […]

John Brown’s 1859 raid at Harpers Ferry, Virginia, and his subsequent arrest and execution, set the stage for the First American Civil War. Brown, a Christian anti-slavery activist, raided a federal armory, seized weapons, and attempted to incite a slave uprising. The violence of his raid (seven were killed and ten injured) followed by his […]

When war becomes peace, when concepts and realities are turned upside down, when fiction becomes truth and truth becomes fiction,  When a global military agenda is heralded as a humanitarian endeavor, when the deliberate killing of children is upheld as “collateral damage,”   When those who resist the US-NATO-led invasion of their homeland are categorized […]

You can’t make this up: just a couple of weeks after the nation remembered the 24th anniversary of 9/11 attacks, Al Qaeda is back in New York, but this time its Syrian founder is getting the red carpet treatment. Self-appointed Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa, whose al-Qaeda and ISIS name is Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, will attend the meeting on […]

Leaked documents confirm Russia is training and equipping Chinese airborne forces with advanced assault tactics, hybrid warfare strategies and covert operations—indicating Beijing’s potential preparations for an invasion of Taiwan. Russia has supplied China with 37 BMD-4M amphibious assault vehicles, 11 Sprut-SDM1 anti-tank guns and 11 BTR-MDM troop carriers—enough to equip a full PLA battalion. Russian […]

“Those who created this country chose freedom. With all of its dangers. And do you know the riskiest part of that choice they made? They actually believed that we could be trusted to make up our own minds in the whirl of differing ideas. That we could be trusted to remain free, even when there […]

The Yuka app is a mobile application designed to help consumers quickly assess the health quality of food and cosmetic products by scanning their barcodes. It produces a health score ranging from 0 to 100 and provides a colour-coded rating, which categorises products as excellent, good, mediocre or poor for health. The scoring system is […]

The BRICS bloc, now significantly expanded to include ten full members, is aggressively pursuing a comprehensive strategy of dedollarization, aiming to diminish the U.S. dollar’s long-standing dominance in international trade and finance. This concerted effort, driven by a desire for greater financial sovereignty, reduced exposure to potential U.S. economic pressures and sanctions, and a rebalancing […]

Google has formally acknowledged that the Biden administration pressured the company to remove lawful content related to the Wuhan coronavirus and elections, despite the content not violating its own policies. The tech company disclosed that senior Biden administration officials, including White House staff, engaged in “repeated and sustained outreach” to suppress content related to COVID-19, […]

Germany’s industrial sector faces a five percent production drop in 2025, with only a weak one percent rebound expected in 2026 if reforms even materialize. Over 200,000 industrial jobs have vanished since 2020, with 68,000 lost in 2024 alone. Soaring electricity costs (three times higher than the U.S.) have crippled steel and manufacturing, forcing companies […]

Despite the obvious hype, there is no doubt AI and semiconductors are key drivers of scientific and technological progress for the world for decades to come. As silicon-based chips shrink toward their physical limits, the industry is desperately searching for alternatives to continue the progress defined by Moore’s Law — the trend that Intel co-founder […]

On September 10th, the Reuters propaganda-news agency headlined “How united is the ‘autocratic alliance’ challenging the West?” and said that “Beijing, Moscow and Pyongyang are far from forming a cohesive bloc.” However, on the last day of August and the first day of September, was held in Tianzin China the 25th annual meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation […]

Central Asian leaders gathered at the SCO summit in Tianjin, with China and Russia giving them top-tier attention. The five Central Asian Republics balance ties with China and Russia, and use SCO and BRICS to deepen trade and security links. U.S. influence is small in trade but has openings. The leaders of the five Central […]

Moldova continues to be targeted by EU agents, who want to deeply interfere in the country’s internal affairs to create hostility toward pro-Russian regions. Recently, the Moldovan opposition made it clear in a statement that it expects the EU to work together with Moldova’s pro-Western authorities to manipulate the election results and prevent the growth […]

The MAX platform has become a key tool in tackling online fraud and bolstering digital sovereignty, the agency has said Russia’s new messenger app MAX has emerged as a secure alternative to foreign platforms, strengthening the country’s digital sovereignty and helping to curb online fraud, the Federal Security Service (FSB) has said. Launched in March […]

On September 26, 2022, a US/NATO terrorist attack destroyed the Nord Stream natural gas pipelines connecting Russia and Germany. The attack came after years of direct threats by top-ranking American officials, including the then-president Joe Biden. Making sure the project failed was of the utmost economic and geopolitical importance to the United States, as it not only prevented […]

The sudden chorus of Europeans crying about Russia’s supposed airspace violations comes at a convenient time Until now, US President Donald Trump has shown no real interest in the Ukraine conflict, beyond wanting to put it to bed in time to collect his Nobel Peace Prize. Now, suddenly, he’s publicly adopting the position that Ukraine […]

Anarchy and division dominate many European cities: right versus left, Israel versus Palestine, Ukraine versus Russia. With the arrival of President Trump’s ultra-right Republican government in January 2025, the United States finally shifted from globalization and free trade to protectionism, giving rise to the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement. This shift is harming Europe, […]

Most discussion of the past week’s SCO and BRICS meetings understandably have focused on the rising strength of their multilateral alternative to America’s attempt to impose its unipolar world control under its own rules calling for other countries’ subordination to U.S. demands to concentrate all the gains from trade and international investment in its own […]

An “unprecedented” gathering of generals and admirals will be happening in Virginia next week, and the purpose of the meeting is a huge mystery.  This has sparked a frenzy of speculation on social media, but we still aren’t getting any answers.  Hopefully we will get an explanation soon, because things are starting to get really […]

Today on Stinchfield, we draw a disturbing parallel the media doesn’t want you to see. The Joint Counter Terrorism Assessment Team has issued an alert: Al Qa’ida is once again calling for more attacks on U.S. soil. At the very same time, a man with deep ties to Al Qa’ida — now the so-called “President” of […]

Suddenly, out of nowhere, the United States government agencies began to repeat the name “Tren de Aragu” as if it were the new al-Qaeda. In January 2025, the White House designated Tren de Aragua as a “foreign terrorist organisation”, and in March, the administration of US President Donald Trump evoked the Alien Enemies Act (1789) to warn against […]

Nobody can deny that the U.S. economy deteriorated dramatically during the four years that Joe Biden was in the White House.  In fact, it was probably the biggest reason why the Democrats lost control of the White House.  The American people were desperate for change, because economic conditions had become extremely painful.  Of course the […]

Rising global economic uncertainties and slowing global growth have intensified calls for reforming the International Monetary Fund. The Joint Declaration of the 17th BRICS Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, reiterated the grouping’s call for IMF reform, especially on quota distribution and management appointments. BRICS has sought the establishment of a new system which would […]

North–South corridors will anchor Greater Eurasia The acute phase of Russia’s confrontation with the West in Ukraine is moving toward its end. Moscow has chosen not to employ its most formidable weapons, acting instead to spare the lives of its soldiers and the civilian population. Yet, unlike the triumphs of 1812 or 1945, this conflict […]

Rather than advancing democracy, U.S. interference helped empower a Harvard-trained World Bank economist who jailed a political rival and has allowed large-scale arms shipments into Ukraine Former U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Director Samantha Power admitted to Russian pranksters that USAID invested tens of millions of dollars in Moldova to support pro-European Union (EU) President Maia […]

France orders hospitals to prepare for 50,000+ war casualties per month by March 2026, including new medical centers for NATO wounded. The directive from the French Health Ministry coincides with NATO-Russia tensions and warnings of impending large-scale conflict. France’s hospitals, already crippled by decades of cuts (100K beds lost, chronic understaffing), are ill-equipped to handle […]

There is something ineffably eternal about the “drum beating and bell chiming from sundown to daybreak” when it comes to the Bell Tower and the Drum Tower standing in the north end of ancient Beijing. There can hardly be equal structures around the world when it comes to architecture as music. They are like two […]

Leaked documents reveal how a shadowy BBC unit is “embedding” staff in foreign media outlets to “contest the information space” and generate “behaviour change” in favor of London’s geopolitical objectives. Though BBC Media Action (BBCMA) portrays itself as the “international charity” of the British state broadcaster, files show the group frequently carries out politically-charged projects […]

Israel Bombs Hamas Negotiators in Qatar – Days after Trump’s “ceasefire,” Israel bombed Hamas peace negotiators under U.S. protection, exposing U.S.-Israel duplicity and accelerating global distrust in Western diplomacy. Qatar Threatens 1.5 Trillion U.S. Withdrawal – Qatar, a key U.S. ally, may pull 1.5 trillion in investments after the attack, signaling Gulf states’ growing defiance against U.S.-backed […]

Americans who don’t spend time in Europe might not fully appreciate what a powder keg the Old World has become.  However bad social relations in the United States now are, they are at least an order of magnitude worse on the other side of the Atlantic.  European self-hatred is dissolving traditional cultural bonds.  Mass immigration is compounding age-old […]

The Beijing Victory parade, marked by Xi, Putin, and Kim’s presence against the backdrop of empty Western seats, transformed memory into a geopolitical weapon and showcased Eurasia’s ascent as the West slipped into silence and indecision. The West’s Empty Seats The sky over Beijing was cut open by fighter jets, columns of armor moving with […]

Last week, Russian and Chinese submarines carried out their first joint patrol in the Pacific, marking a historic milestone in naval cooperation between two continental powers traditionally associated with land dominance or “Land Power” in classical geopolitical parlance. This patrol came four weeks after Russia and China conducted their first full-scale joint naval exercise, Joint Sea-2025 (August 1–5). The submarine operation, which demonstrated […]

Back on 4 December 2024, I headlined “Trump is set to continue Biden’s policies on Ukraine” and cited a Reuters news-article that day as having reported this but hadn’t made it explicit — which I did in that news-report. The gist of the article, as I pointed out (including what was unsaid in but proven […]

With one deal in Beijing Russia redirected energy flows that had run to the West for fifty years, eastward The EU’s cheap-gas lifeline just got handed to Beijing instead. With three signatures, Russia, China and Mongolia rerouted half a century of energy history eastward. On Tuesday, the three countries signed a legally binding memorandum for […]

Geographically, culturally, and genetically, Armenians are not Europeans. The recent shift by Armenian elites toward the European Union is not merely a geopolitical mistake — it is a clear manifestation of a historical and cultural fallacy. By invoking a supposed “Europeanness” of Armenia as a justification for its pro-Western pivot, the leadership in Yerevan resorts […]

It can be said that the liberal project of a global order arose in rebellion against the Iberian world and Catholic authority. In my previous article, I argued that it is more interesting to assess capitalism by comparing it with the Iberian project of civilization than with the ephemeral communist project. Let’s get to the […]

The Tianjin summit was the largest in the 24-year history of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, which has become “a reliable support for member states in maintaining regional stability.” The Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit 2025 in Tianjin is not a polite diplomatic ritual. It is a reckoning. In the shadows of collapsing Western hegemony, Eurasia gathers […]

Israel’s Strategic Expansion through Balochistan Just one day before Israel’s unprovoked attack on Iran, a small but significant piece of news appeared on international media: the announcement of a new research program by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI). The Washington-based think tank announced that it has started the Balochistan Study Program (BSP). MEMRI was […]

Summarizing the complex significance of China’s glorious victory in 1945 against the aggression of the Japanese empire and world fascism requires taking into account the international events at that historical moment, along with the national reality and the regional context. Multiple factors interacted to determine and achieve the historical outcome of the surrender of Japan […]

The stench of hypocrisy is thick in the halls of Brussels these days, where European leaders—clutching their champagne flutes and virtue-signaling press releases—continue to demand that Russia surrender unconditionally, even as their own militaries crumble under the weight of their own incompetence. While they preach about “democracy” and “territorial integrity,” they send Ukraine just enough […]

Whenever I get the infrequent opportunity to walk the wild deserted Cape Cod outer Atlantic beach in the early morning, I exult in the sea’s silent roar. It extinguishes the cacophonous dreck that fills the air of everyday life in a society whose depravity accelerates faster than shore birds can fly. This morning, because there […]

Europe is already at war. There is no need to invent it, José Goulão writes. Hundreds of thousands of hectares of land have burned, are burning, or will continue to burn throughout Europe during the remainder of the summer. People continue to die; homes, rural and urban properties, agricultural crops, livestock, forests, orchards, and ancient […]

The United States’ recent naval deployment near the coast of Venezuela on a counter-drug cartel mission have brought the two countries closer than ever to an all-out military confrontation. Th naval force dispatched on the highly-suspicious mission includes more than 4,500 sailors and Marines on three ships: The Wasp class amphibious assault ship, the USS […]

The United States Navy (USN) and Marine Corps (USMC) keep increasing their military presence in the Southern Caribbean, more specifically in the vicinity of Venezuela’s coast. The last days of August saw a significant uptick in their activity, including American warships in eastbound transit through the Panama Canal. Only a week prior, White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt stated that […]

“Trump should have kept his mouth shut.” That will likely be the consensus of historians tasked with explaining the self-destructive Jeffrey-Epstein-related blurt-outs and blunders of America’s 47th president. If eyeball-rolling could affect the Earth’s rotation, Donald Trump’s textbook “guilty demeanor” around the Jeffrey Epstein scandal—or rather the ensuing ocular twirling and swirling—might exacerbate our planet’s orbital […]

The United States claims that its ongoing escalation with Venezuela is due to the latter’s supposed “involvement in drug trafficking”. Although concrete evidence for such accusations is sorely lacking, Washington DC is now seriously contemplating direct aggression on Caracas based precisely on these fabrications. After the deployment of US Navy warships and USMC troops in […]

It seems America was, once more, ahead of the game as it is the Europeans who follow her.  It seems America was, once more, ahead of the game as it is the Europeans who follow her. Populist type leaders are coming to Europe in the next few years as EU economies descend into a level […]

The upcoming Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in China will be one of the most significant political events of the year.  This is not just a routine meeting of heads of state, but a powerful signal of the emerging new world order. Against the background of global instability and the growing confrontation of the West […]

Last week President Trump took steps to re-name the Department of Defense the “Department of War.” The President explained his rationale for the name change: “It used to be called the Department of War and it had a stronger sound. We want defense, but we want offense too … As Department of War we won […]
