Alternative payment mechanisms in mutual trade will be discussed at the Russia-Africa summit, said VTB CEO Andrey Kostin. The weaponization of US currency has pushed many nations to look for alternatives, a top banker has said. Alternative payment mechanisms in mutual trade will be addressed at the ongoing Russia-Africa summit, one of Russia’s top bankers […]

Shifting regional dynamics require the reconsideration and adjustment of longstanding American policies. Names make a difference.  Those who confer them reveal their perspectives on the places and peoples they are naming. Over the course of the 16th to the 19th centuries, Europeans conquered and colonized the world, imposing their self-centered perspectives on its geography.  For them, the […]

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. Instead they decided that, sure, democracy is all fine and well, but […]

Definitions: “impunity, noun, the exemption from punishment or freedom from the injurious consequences of an action.” In 2013, Edward Snowden leaked information from the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) about massive surveillance being carried out on individuals, companies, and governments on a global scale. Snowden released to the media millions of documents and kept essential files to prove […]

As the dust now settles on Ukraine, Zelensky is just a tiresome song and dance male stripper, whose shelf life has, along with almost 400,000 Ukrainian soldiers, expired. If you are thinking of using MI6 agent Volodymyr Zelensky’s name to manufacture or distribute “underwear, hats, video games, kitchen utensils and knives…. toilet brushes and loo […]

The atomic bomb created the conditions of contingent catastrophe, forever placing the world on the precipice of existential doom. But in doing so, it created a philosophy of acceptable cruelty, worthy extinction, legitimate extermination. The scenarios for such programs of existential realisation proved endless. Entire departments, schools of thought, and think tanks were dedicated to […]

Kiev sought to use the SpaceX satellite network to launch an attack on Russian ships in 2022, the US media outlet has reported The SpaceX co-founder, US billionaire Elon Musk, prevented Ukraine from using his company’s Starlink satellite communications system to strike Russia, the New York Times reported on Friday, citing sources familiar with the […]

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 […]

Today, we are going to show how the fraud scheme involving U.S. supplies of UAVs to Ukraine is organized. Moreover, we are to name personalities in the American intelligence community, who stay behind this money theft. They are CIA-linked Hans Mumm and Charles Goslin, who receive instructions from Chanda Creasy, the CIA Assistant for Global […]

In an article recently published by Politico, it was said that Kiev already has a secret plan in case the Ukrainian president is assassinated. Although it is normal for countries at war to think about the possibility of their leaders dying, the way that media is reporting the case suggests a kind of attempt to prepare public opinion […]

Blacks Are Secretary of Defense, incoming Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff, Head of Air Force Academy and Are Actively Discriminating Against White Heterosexual Men Richard Clark is promoting gender ideology in the curriculum of the US Air Force Academy. Lloyd Austin and Charles Brown have announced that there are too many white officers and […]

In anticipation of the next global “pandemic,” the Biden regime has created a new pandemic agency called the Office of Pandemic Preparedness and Response Policy (OPPR) that will be tasked with procuring the next round of emergency “vaccines” for whatever scary new “virus” or bioweapon gets unleashed. A fact sheet released by the White House makes it […]

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. Or so we were led to believe. But a startling new book reveals that the American public may have been deceived. According to […]

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. This new stage in American foreign policy could be characterized as Kaganism: neither Democrat or Republican, but rather a […]

The South Africa summit showed how the non-Western bloc will evolve over the coming years Speaking at the end of the BRICS summit in Johannesburg, last week, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov reassured those wondering what the acronym would sound like after the addition of six new letters: “Everyone is in favour of keeping the […]

Prior to the unfortunate dismantling of the Soviet Union, Ukraine was one of its most prominent republics, even rivaling Russia itself in numerous aspects. In many ways, it was a sort of “Soviet California”, as approximately 30% of the USSR’s massive industrial and scientific might was situated precisely in Ukraine. Much of Soviet shipbuilding, advanced electronics, […]

Democratic presidents have a way of reaching out to undeserving Republicans to protect their domestic flanks on the right. Bill Clinton appointed James Woolsey to be the director of the Central Intelligence Agency in 1993 in order to gain standing among national security conservatives. Barack Obama retained Robert Gates as secretary of defense in 2009 […]

One sees many flags at half-mast across the country today. And rightly so. Thanks in part to the negligence and incompetence of the CIA and FBI, the Federal government  failed disastrously at what it tells us is the regime’s number-one priority: public safety.   More than 2,900 human beings died that day, the overwhelming majority of which were civilians […]

Chinese President Xi Jinping plans to host a visit by Russian President Vladimir Putin in October. Chinese President Xi Jinping has told Moscow’s Senate chief that he’s preparing to host the Russian leader, TASS reported Russian President Vladimir Putin has reportedly accepted an invitation from China’s Xi Jinping to visit Beijing in October, picking up […]

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 war on Syria has vanished from the collective West ethos. Yet it’s far […]

Twenty-first-century fascism is the dictatorship of big money. Finance, fossil fuels giants, other large corporations, and the military-industrial complex, have effectively merged with the state, calling the shots in Washington. An immense surveillance and propaganda machine is at their disposal. Narrative and information control is the first line of defense but the militarized police state acts when […]

Another atrocity. Yesterday, the dam holding back the waters for the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station was destroyed releasing a massive flood surge, imperiling people and places below the dam on the Dnieper River. Both sides blamed each other. From the Russian standpoint, it makes no sense to blow up the dam. According to Russian Defense Minister Sergei […]

Right-wing candidates won at the EU Parliament primary convention of the AfD (Alternative for Germany) party, who will be critical of NATO and the United States. The AfD is currently polling at 22%, based on widespread dissatisfaction with the German government, making it the most popular party in Germany. Right-wing representatives Maximilian Krah and Petr […]

The protracted military-political crisis between Russia and Ukraine has been a hot topic on the world’s agenda for more than a year now. The author will not go back to the reasons that laid the foundation for this most extensive conflict in Europe since World War II. In short, the Collective West, led by the […]

In what is now a ten-year-old interview, Jim Rickards shocked his audience. Sadly, his controversial views then might be considered good news today… After being pressed about his somewhat extreme economic predictions, he added some context: The international monetary system has actually collapsed three times in the past 100 years. It collapsed in 1914, again in 1939 and […]

How the history, identities and aspirations of the various people of France mirror the structural identity and political integration of the EU France is a medium-sized country with a wide range of accents, landscapes, and culinary traditions. In many ways, France, more than any other European country, is a symbol of the European Union. A […]

Since the 1990s, the United Kingdom has been one of the staunchest supporters of Albanian expansionism (mostly fueled by their unrelenting narco-terrorist tendencies). At the time, London sent its intelligence services to Albania where they worked closely with their American, German and other NATO counterparts to set the stage for a terrorist insurrection in the southern Serbian […]

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. I think that the success or failure of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s longshot Democratic Party primary challenge to President Joseph Biden should best be considered in such terms. […]

The famed director said that voting for the aging Democrat was “a mistake” US President Joe Biden is following a “suicidal” course in Ukraine and may drag the US “stupidly into a confrontation” with Russia, acclaimed director Oliver Stone said during a recent podcast appearance.  Speaking on an episode of British commentator Russell Brand’s ‘Stay […]

Last week’s event attracted thousands of guests and produced dozens of practical decisions, Roscongress has said Last week, Russia hosted a high-profile international event, which was attended by dozens of delegations from African nations.

G K Satish, who retired as director for business development at IOC in 2021, is one of the three new faces appointed to the 11-strong board of […]

How Promising NATO Membership To Ukraine Could Lead To World War III. America and its NATO allies must make permanently ending the war their priority and abandon the offer to admit Ukraine as a member. President Joe Biden’s promise last week to admit Ukraine after the conclusion of the war will make it harder to negotiate an […]

It’s never a very enjoyable experience, facing the fact that you’ve been bamboozled. Realizing that you’ve fallen prey to an elaborate con, or PYSOP, is painful. It’s embarrassing. People feel ashamed. No one likes to see themselves as a sucker. It’s humiliating. It makes people angry. It makes them want to lash out at someone. […]

Story at-a-glance The idea that pathogens will jump species and kill humans is a useful scare tactic, and it’s now being pushed like never before under One Health — a global agenda that will allow unelected bureaucrats at the World Health Organization to centralize power and make decisions relating to diet, agriculture and livestock farming, […]

The day after America celebrated its independence and its founding principles of self-governance and liberty, across the pond, Britain paid tribute to its values of collectivism and statism by commemorating the seventy-fifth anniversary of the National Health Service (NHS). Children’s choirs sang “Happy Birthday” at a thanksgiving church service celebrating the NHS at Westminster Abbey. […]

I have a new book out, The Empire of Lies. It is 342 pages plus a name index. The book is divided into five parts: The Ministry of Truth, Economic Deception, The Ukraine Deception, The Lies of History, The Big Lie. The cover shows Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Bill Gates, and Dick Cheney laughing their […]

Moscow now seems to enjoy all it takes to build a fruitful, Global Majority-centered strategic partnership. The second Russia-Africa summit, this week in St. Petersburg, should be seen as a milestone in terms of Global South integration and the concerted drive by the Global Majority towards a more equal and fair multipolar order. The summit […]

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 […]

“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. After almost two decades of conflict, an insurgent army from one of the world’s poorest nations inflicted a decisive military defeat on the US, the […]

Germany, the only vassal-nation of America that has 231 U.S. military bases on its soil (that’s the most of any nation on the planet except for America itself, which has 749), has obediently obeyed its imperial master until now, and the U.S. Government has just reversed its policy of increasing its threats to Russia, but will […]

A the March 2022 gathering of US congressmen to hear the words of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi opened the event by crying out, “Slava Ukraini”—“Glory to Ukraine”—no less than five times. This expression has become popular in Washington, London, and elsewhere as of late, with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson also bellowing out the cry in […]

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, […]

The current neocolonial policies developed by the West in Africa have allowed the EU to strip African nations of their mineral resources, exploit their agricultural land, dominate their economies and exercise control over their healthcare systems. Europe treats the African nations solely as sources of raw materials, and considers them as obliged to grant unchecked […]

The BRICS group (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa), which includes the world’s largest emerging economies, has been a driving force in restructuring the global economic landscape. Recent talk of BRICS expansion raises serious questions about its impact on the balance of the global economy, given their combined economic power and growing influence. This […]

Ukraine is already a financial blackhole for the West, as seen by the vast resources poured into the country while recent drone attacks on Russia indicate Ukrainian desperation. John Sopko, Inspector General of the United States Reconstruction Service in Afghanistan, said that the amount of money the US will spend by the end of 2023 […]

The former US president has been charged regarding alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Former US president Donald Trump was indicted by a federal grand jury regarding his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election on Tuesday. The Republican 2024 frontrunner faces four charges: conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct […]

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. Details were skimpy, the rhetoric aspirational. But the Australian performance from Defence Minister Richard Marles, and Foreign Minister Penny Wong, was crawling, lamentable, […]

In May last year, the Washington Post ran a fairly typical piece about what the paper perceives as an unjustified conservative mania regarding President Joe Biden’s son.  While those in the US worried “about such things as inflation and the war in Ukraine, the top concerns of congressional Republicans can be ranked roughly as follows: 1) Hunter Biden; 2) […]

The Biden regime has announced a new military aid package for Taiwan, amounting to $345 million, which has sparked concerns regarding fiscal responsibility and prioritizing domestic needs. This announcement has come at a time when the domestic economy continues to grapple due to failed Biden economic policies. However, the Biden regime’s latest foreign policy move […]

Enabling the exports would revive the Black Sea grain deal, according to a joint African-Russian statement African leaders have called for practical steps to remove barriers to the export of Russian fertilizers and grain, according to a joint statement adopted by the Russian president and the leaders of the African Peace Initiative, following a summit […]

A few years back, I (and many others) picked up on an emerging trend which has only intensified over time: the framing of “domestic terrorists” (meaning, in practice, any political opponents of the Deep State regime) as something on par with foreign terrorists of the Islamic persuasion. You may recall these fighting words from Former CIA […]

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 […]

Should RFK, Jr. run for President on the Democrat ticket or move to a third-party ticket like Teddy Roosevelt did? Even as President Joe Biden leads in the 2024 primaries, Democrat presidential contender Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has higher favorability and lower unfavorability numbers than either President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, (Trump 43%, Biden 41%, […]

“The technical achievement of advanced industrial society, and the effective manipulation of mental and material productivity have brought about a shift in the locus of mystification. . . . the rational rather than the irrational becomes the most effective vehicle of mystification.”Herbert Marcuse, One-Dimensional Man “General, man is very uselful.He can fly and he can kill.But he has […]

In the Progressive Era (1897 to 1929) the American Medical Association made an effort to restrict the supply of doctors.   Patrick Newman is Assistant Professor of Economics at Florida Southern College. He completed his PhD in the Department of Economics at George Mason University. He is a 2018 Mises Institute Research Fellow. Read More

Western leaders have long fostered the self-serving myth that NATO is an organization solely for the mutual defense of its members. The corollary is that other nations therefore have no legitimate reason to fear the most powerful military alliance in history. After all, it is an association of peace-loving democracies. The operational expression of the myth is […]

The accumulated evidence is overwhelming that Covid was an orchestrated pandemic. Intentional use of the faulty PCR test, intentional false reporting of Covid deaths as a result of World Health Organization guidelines and financial incentives to hospitals to report all deaths as Covid deaths, and prohibited treatment by known cures together produced a high level […]

Niger’s coup leaders believe they must first rid the region of the French and American military and then boot out their fifth columnists in the military, the media and the NGOs. Niger’s recent coup follows similar coups in nearby Mali, Burkina Faso, and Guinea, each of which was led by military leaders opposed to the […]

Maybe we are seeing the End of Hollywood as we know it. ALL the Hollywood giants are running out of profit. Even Disney is down. Cinema tickets are declining. Television is dying. Streaming entertainment is declining too. And now Hollywood actors and screenwriters are on strike – demanding more out of a shrinking cake. The […]

So, the quadrennial simulation of democracy in the USA is getting underway, and personally, I couldn’t be happier. It’s been a challenging few years for unincorporated political satirists like myself. The roll-out of the new global-capitalist totalitarianism hasn’t been particularly funny. In fact, it has been extremely not funny. Squeezing a little humor out of […]

  Not only does this latest development debunk the Daily Beast’s fake news a few months back alleging that this group slaughtered Chinese miners, but it should also serve to correct the false perceptions that many have about the aftermath of Prigozhin’s coup attempt. The Daily Beast claimed in late March that Wagner slaughtered Chinese […]

On June 14, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina met with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa in Geneva, bringing attention to the matter of Bangladesh joining the BRICS. PM Hasina will attend this year’s BRICS summit, which will be held in South Africa. Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen hinted that Bangladesh is likely to join the grouping […]

How much losses can the Ukrainian army take? NATO tactics do not work. This counter offensive is failing. The most recent assault operations were carried out by Ukrainian infantry without almost any armored vehicle support, which signals that despite large supplies from NATO, the Ukrainian Army already suffers from a lack of NATO heavy military […]

The choice of St. Petersburg to host last weeks Russia-Africa summit was no accident. It was a symbolic move. Last week’s Russia-Africa summit in St. Petersburg was a landmark event in Moscow’s foreign policy concept and practice. Not so much because it brought scores of African leaders and senior officials to the country. The first […]

The American people urgently need to know the true history of the war in Ukraine and its current prospects. Unfortunately, the mainstream media ––The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, MSNBC, and CNN –– have become mere mouthpieces of the government, repeating US President Joe Biden’s lies and hiding history from the public.  Biden […]

Trump pleads ‘not guilty’. President Trump vowed retribution for the latest federal charges. “I AM NOW GOING TO WASHINGTON, D.C., TO BE ARRESTED FOR HAVING CHALLENGED A CORRUPT, RIGGED, & STOLEN ELECTION. IT IS A GREAT HONOR, BECAUSE I AM BEING ARRESTED FOR YOU. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!” Special counsel Jack Smith did not seek […]

“If it weren’t for double standards, the Democrats would have no standards at all.” — Jeff Childers of the Coffee and Covid blog You might not know it these lazy, hazy, muggy days of midsummer, but things are getting pretty wildly out-of-hand in our republic. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. blew up the Democratic Party yesterday in the […]

Oslo has been designated an “unfriendly” nation and can now employ no more than 27 Russian nationals at its missions in the country Moscow has added Norway to its list of “unfriendly” nations, meaning that Oslo is unable to freely employ Russian nationals to service its embassy and consular offices in Russia. The number of […]

The NATO-Russia proxy war in the Ukraine has become a grinding mess. One reason is that this year, in contrast to most years, winter never really came. The result was only a two-to-three week window in which offensive operations could succeed due to the rivers of mud encountered at any other time when a unit […]

Nancy Pelosi has called the latest indictment against Donald Trump “beautiful” and asserted that if he is elected as president again, it will mean the end of America completely. In the comments to New York magazine, Pelosi stated “The indictments against the president are exquisite,” adding “They’re beautiful and intricate, and they probably have a better chance […]

In an article recently published by Politico, it was said that Kiev already has a secret plan in case the Ukrainian president is assassinated.

The ruling classes of the United States and South Korea are talking about war. While these talks were going on, Washington brought a nuclear missile submarine along. For the first time since the 1980s, a U.S. nuclear-armed ballistic missile submarine (SSBN) visited South Korea on Tuesday, as the allies launched talks to coordinate their responses […]

On August 2, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced the start of the “Ocean Shield” naval exercises in the Baltic Sea. The drills come at a particularly tense moment, given that NATO countries have recently been provoking Russia in the region through the attempt to expand the alliance with Sweden’s access. However, contrary to the […]

Alexander Dugin When the West puts Moscow with its back to the wall, leaving no chance to return to the ‘negotiating process’, the Kremlin starts to act appropriately and successes come immediately. When we trust the West, we slide downwards. When we become bitter and embittered, everything levels off. When we inject the war in […]

If you take an honest look at the numbers, the obvious conclusion is that the U.S. economy is rapidly going in the wrong direction.  Delinquency rates are soaring, sales of previously-owned homes have declined by more than 32 percent over the past two years, inflation is starting to rise at a frightening pace again, large companies all […]

The US dollar has been the world reserve currency since 1944. At the Bretton Woods Conference, the dollar was pegged to gold and every other currency was pegged to the dollar. The fixed exchange rate system that emerged provided a stable environment for international trade and investment, as all countries had a currency value that […]

We won’t be ranting about pronouns when we’re all called comrade or “hey you serf.”  Well its enough to drive you around the bend and put bubbles in your veins trying to understand the world as it is unfolding. Watching Mattias Desmet being interviewed here, I remember a criticism of his theory being that he attributes everything […]

African countries deserve their “rightful place” in determining the world’s fate, the Russian leader said Russia welcomes the rising international authority of individual African states as well as the continent as a whole, and their desire to make their voices strongly heard, President Vladimir Putin said in an article released ahead of the second Russia-Africa […]

In 2019, well before the start of Russia’s military operation in Ukraine, the Russia-Africa summit held in Sochi attracted 43 countries in total. The purpose of the summit was the “development and consolidation of mutually beneficial ties” between Russia and the African continent. Four years later, the 2023 summit held in St. Petersburg attracted 49 countries in […]

President Biden may have crossed a new red line for the Democratic Party when he announced he would send banned cluster munitions to shore up Ukraine’s slow counter-offensive against Russian troops.  On Friday, 19 House Democrats, led by Congressional Progressive Caucus Chair Pramila Jayapal (D-WA-7), signed a letter to Biden warning that his decision to send cluster munitions […]

In October 2020, on a visit to London, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with Sir Richard Moore, the head of the British intelligence service, MI6.

The European National Conservative movement is rising. Their brain trust and clearing house is the Edmund Burke Foundation, a Zionist cut-out run by the heads of the Jerusalem-based Theodore Herzl Institute. This trans-Atlantic alliance hosts leaders from the US Republican Party, Hungary, Poland, Britain, and Italy seeking to implement the “new right” ideology put to […]

As the reality is now beginning to sink in, to the nations of Europe, that their military alliance with America, in America’s anti-Russian NATO, is heading for their collective defeat by Russia, in the battlefields of Ukraine, this is the ideal moment for a magnanimous and peace-oriented Russia diplomatically and privately to be communicating individually […]

The Senate version of the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) which provides funding for the Department of Defense military activities, military construction and the Department of Energy nuclear programs was adopted on July 20th and now needs to be reconciled with the House version.

Now that debt is rising faster than “growth,” and “growth” is dependent on speculative credit-asset bubbles, the collapse of the Keynesian dream looms large. Unbeknownst to economists, the Keynesian bedrock of modern economics–using financial repression and government spending funded by debt to manage the business cycle of growth and recession–is an artifact of a century […]

Ukraine conflict provided the comparison, Moscow’s envoy for partnership with Africa has said African leaders have been able to compare the performance of Russian-made weapons and their Western counterparts during the conflict with Ukraine and draw the appropriate conclusions, Ambassador Oleg Ozerov said on Tuesday.

In the last few days, the armed forces of the Russian Federation have launched a series of massive attacks against the Ukrainian ports in Odessa, destroying several strategic targets. Western media are reporting the strikes as “terrorism” and trying to link them to the fact that Moscow recently suspended its participation in the Black Sea […]

The hypothesis that the Anglo-Saxon axis is pivotal to the proxy war in Ukraine against Russia is only partly true. Germany is actually Ukraine’s second largest arms supplier, after the United States. Chancellor Olaf Scholz pledged a new arms package worth 700 million euros, including additional tanks, munitions and Patriot air defence systems at the Nato summit […]

Perhaps one of the most bizarre recent developments in economic news has been the attempt by establishment media (and the White House) to declare US inflation “defeated” despite all the facts to the contrary. Keep in mind that when these people talk about inflation, they are only talking about the most recent CPI, which is […]

Egypt is seeking to shift away from the US dollar in mutual trade with several member states of the BRICS economic bloc, Egyptian Supply Minister Ali Moselhy has said. According to Moselhy, Egypt is seeking to use local currencies to pay for its imports from India, China, and Russia – key members of the BRICS […]

Aren’t you tired hearing about masks? Mask-talk is almost as ubiquitous as Hitler-talk. Well, if the shoe fits…Just because we are tired hearing about appropriate things to discuss, does not mean they should not be discussed. At least that is how I see it. Obviously. Mask-talk may be annoyingly worn thin, but seeing a mask […]

Russia – Africa Forum opening a new era of internationalism and sovereignty There is a sense of soviet-era revival in the air as Russia eagerly strengthens bonds with African nations carefully making sure that it’s moves aren’t seen in any neo-colonial way, an accusation Western European nations and the US are often confronted with. But, […]

Joe Biden has repeatedly stated that the U.S. is going to be involved in the war in Ukraine “for as long as it takes”, and our leaders just keep pouring billions upon billions of dollars into the conflict.  But the truth is that the war is not going very well for Ukraine.  After sending them lots of shiny […]

When I first heard the term “financial repression,” I thought it had to be a joke. Why would governments and central banks use a term with such a negative connotation? Even people who are financially illiterate will still understand that financial repression is a bad thing. Nonetheless, financial repression is real and will destroy the […]

Constitutional expert Jonathan Turley on Sunday weighed in on the FBI document Senator Chuck Grassley released showing Joe Biden was involved in a $10 million bribery scheme with a Ukrainian oligarch.

  Ever since the Biden Administration, alias the Globalists, took power in Washington, China was bombarded with threats and sanctions; foremost with attempts of “chips-strangulation”, meaning, being blocked for the chip production, and by supply chain disruptions of electronics, notably semiconductors. The entire car industry could be paralyzed. While that would be great for the […]

‘Large group’ of foreign mercenaries killed in Ukraine. Russian forces have destroyed a large group of Polish and German mercenaries in a recent strike, the Defense Ministry has said. The precision strike two weeks ago hit a military academy in Lvov. Russian forces carried out a strike on a mercenary compound in western Ukraine earlier this […]

It has been reported that there will be a meeting in August to announce a new gold based currency. If it is successful, it will be the final step in the attempt to eliminate the US international financial structure. Usually when empires fall there is a rival empire pounding on the gate. In our case […]

Debates on the ecosocialist left are raging, from advocates of degrowth to a new crop of ecomodernists. Many in this latter camp have begun to push nuclear power as a potential alternative to fossil fuels that would help us avoid climate catastrophe. But as Joshua Frank explains to Spectre’s Dan Boscov-Ellen, nuclear remains a false solution with disastrous consequences. […]

The economy could be in for chaos, as the US risks rollercoaster inflation and an unusual “full employment recession,” BlackRock warned. But BlackRock owns everything, so consider taking what they say with a grain of salt. Inflation has eased significantly from its 41-year-high last summer, there are conflicting pressures in the economy that could potentially […]

While average Ukrainians suffer amid NATO’s proxy war against Russia, business is booming for the surrogate baby industry, which requires a steady supply of healthy and financially desperate women willing to lease their wombs to affluent foreigners. Surrogates “have to be from poorer places than our clients,” explained the medical director of Kiev’s largest “baby […]

  “Every day in communities across the United States, children and adolescents spend the majority of their waking hours in schools that have increasingly come to resemble places of detention more than places of learning.”—Investigative journalist Annette Fuentes This is what it means to go back to school in America today. Instead of being taught the three […]

The Ukrainian offensive has petered out – even CNN says it: ‘[The Ukrainians are] still going to see, [whether] in the next couple of weeks, there is a chance of making some progress. But for them really to make the progress that would alter the balance to this conflict – I think, it’s extremely, highly unlikely’ – an […]

In a recent post , I discussed an article by Adam Ellwanger, Professor of English at the University of Houston. Professor Ellwanger tracks the way we have, across the years, most commonly referred to illegal aliens. He reports that we started by referring to them as, duh, “illegal aliens,” a straightforward and precise term used in federal legislation. However, it […]

In Reality It Resulted Largely from Kyiv’s Destruction of Eastern Ukraine’s Economy Under Neo-Liberal Economic Policies Pushed by Washington Since the 1990s The war in Ukraine is commonly seen through one of two lenses. The vision presented by Western, NATO-aligned powers is one of an astro-turfed Donbas separatism created by Moscow to justify the division […]

The allegations involve Metabiota, a firm with links to US President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter The Pentagon planned to use its biolaboratories in Africa to test unregistered medicines on local populations for the sake of “big pharma,” Tass reported on 19 July, based on documents found in Ukraine. According to the Chief of Russia’s Radiation, Chemical and Biological […]

Conservative Americans are not allowed to speak at Stanford University, but Ukrainian Nazis are. Ultra far-right Azov members were welcomed on campus grounds at a time when even mild US conservatives have been heckled and banished “The Ongoing fight for freedom: defenders of Mariupol return to Stanford,” read the flier advertising an event on the […]

The BRICS group of emerging markets — Brazil, Russia, India and China, with South Africa added later — has gone from a slogan dreamed up at an investment bank to a real-world club that also controls a major development bank. It once might have seemed ironic to see Communist Party-ruled China embrace the Wall Street […]

This NATO circus is running out of road on both sides of the Atlantic, Declan Hayes writes. First off, congratulations to all the participants in the Women’s World Cup for bringing such joy to so many. And a very special hat tip to the women of the Philippines for beating the Kiwis, one of the […]

Leonid Savin   The use of foreign theories and models is unlikely to benefit our state and people. From the mid-2000s to the early 2020s, there was a vogue for “soft power” in the Russian community of political scientists and international scholars—numerous articles on the subject were published, dissertations were defended, and representatives of a […]

Efforts by countries to replace the US dollar in international trade will reach a new high when BRICS nations discuss the feasibility of introducing a common currency at a summit in South Africa later this year, Chinese experts said, noting that the move can be a fresh blow against the dollar’s hegemony. The BRICS group […]

For close to a year and a half, the German economy has been going through a sort of unraveling, primarily due to suicidal subservience to its masters in Washington DC. Since the start of Russia’s counteroffensive against NATO aggression in Europe, Berlin has been experiencing a plethora of major economic problems that soon translated to societal […]

With Britain and America supplying the toxic ammunition to Ukraine, Declassified investigates the long-term health impact on one of the few countries where the weapon has been fired in anger. A convoy of Mercedes with tinted windows speeds down the motorway as drivers rush to cross the border – a gateway to Albania’s stunning Mediterranean […]

Violence in the Sahel (Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Chad, The Gambia, Guinea Mauritania, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, and Senegal) has increased in recent years, and several countries in the region have fallen victim to military coups. Now, there is a possibility that US forces may not be welcome in Niger, all at a time when Russophilia is […]

Despite all the failures of its favorite puppet regime, as well as the inability to hide or spin this for propaganda purposes, NATO seems to be expanding its comprehensive aggression against the world. This time, its target is the Asia-Pacific region, particularly its foremost power – China. The United States aims to use the belligerent alliance to […]

The July NATO summit in Vilnius had the feeling of a funeral, as if they had just lost a family member – Ukraine. To clear away NATO’s failure to drive Russia out of Ukraine and move NATO right up to the Russian border, its members tried to revive their spirits by mobilizing support for the […]

Alexander Dugin Dear African friends, dear Russophiles! It is wonderful that Africa remembers its friendship with Russia and does not abandon it even in the current difficult circumstances. But in history and politics, the friendship of nations has not only emotional, but also geopolitical, ideological and economic grounds. I will express my thoughts on the […]

Late last week, the Kansas Office of the State Bank Commissioner shut down Heartland Tri-State Bank of Elkhart, Kan., prompting the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to enter into a purchase and assumption agreement with Dream First Bank, National Association, of Syracuse, Kan.

The Island of Taiwan has been turned into a “powder keg” by the infusion of U.S. weaponry, pushing the Taiwanese people into the “abyss of disaster.” These are the words of the Chinese Defense Ministry in reaction to the recent $440 million sale of U.S. arms to the island. And now the U.S.is also giving, […]

So how many American soldiers fight in Ukraine? The Biden bunch is careful not to reveal or refer to their presence, mercenary or otherwise, but the question keeps coming to mind. It popped up again June 27, when Russia bombed what the Ukraine press called simply a restaurant in Kramatorsk. However, this supposedly innocuous restaurant […]

From August 22 through 24th, an extended coalition of over 40 nations which has become known as BRICS+ will meet in Johannesburg, South Africa. Among the likely topics of discussion is the feasibility of setting up a jointly-owned international financial institution. It would be funded by gold deposits, issue a currency, and extend loans tied […]

The Biden Regime played a “vital” role in the attack on the Kerch Bridge to Crimea which killed a couple and injured their child, investigative reported Seymour Hersh revealed. Joe Biden’s support of  Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky “can only come from Zelensky’s knowledge of Biden”, and “because he was taking care of Biden’s son,” Hersh writes. […]

US officials are concerned that Ukraine is not making enough progress in its much-heralded counteroffensive, The Washington Post reported on July 18, citing unnamed sources. According to the media outlet, the US is urging Kiev to commit to a decisive breakthrough as Ukrainian commanders are, supposedly, yet to employ the full-scale offensive tactics Western instructors taught them. A US […]

Hunter Biden and his attorneys blew up the plea deal he had arranged with Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice. Then the deal was back on. Now it’s off.

Reason and Rationality Have Little to Do with Them It is often hard to understand the reasons for America’s wars, especially since World War II, but they always have a rationale backed up by lies.  The rationale for Vietnam was the containment of communism and the domino theory.  The lie was that U.S. naval ships […]

In this latest in his series of digests on the increasingly tense situation on the Korean peninsula the author presents an overview of the situation up to mid-June 2023. On April 15, in response to Pyongyang’s test of its new solid-fuel ICBM, the Hwaseong-18, the US and South Korea conducted joint air force exercises involving […]

After the most recent FOMC meeting, Chairman Powell issued an official statement explaining the decision to raise interest rates another quarter-point. That brings the Federal target funding rate to 5.25-5.5%, the highest rate in over two decades. (Granted, those were two decades of perpetual emergency, the lowest-for-longest rates in U.S. history.) Powell summarized the FOMC […]

The late Israeli commentator, Uri Avnery, expressed his concern about the Israeli-Palestinian struggle taking on a more religious character. At first glance, the statement may seem baffling. If Israel is a ‘Jewish State’ that serves as a ‘homeland’ for all Jewish people, everywhere, does it not follow that the ‘struggle,’ at least from an Israeli […]

China-Russia trade and the regional economy in Northeast China will be further boosted with the opening of a new transshipment port for cross-border transportation of domestic trade in Vladivostok in Russia’s Far East, amid the growing need for regional economic development. Vladivostok, now the largest Russian port on the Pacific Ocean, also known historically as […]

As Ukraine’s manpower on its frontlines starts to dwindle, military leaders are becoming increasingly desperate to locate new recruits to propel its counteroffensive against Russia forward; however, the number of young people volunteering for such a challenge has plummeted. Recent videos of young Ukrainian men being conscripted across the country have circulated in popular encrypted […]

You will not find any drag queen story hour events at Russian libraries or “gender-affirming care” curriculum being pushed on children in Russian public schools because, unlike the United States and the West, Russia is vehemently opposed to allowing LGBT perversion to spread within its borders. Yet another new piece of legislation has been introduced in Russia […]

This is from three years, two months ago: China: The much needed enemy https://hannenabintuherland.com/usa/china-a-much-needed-enemy-paul-craig-roberts/ From Mike Whitney’s recent column, the situation was worsened. The US will suffer, not China. https://www.globalresearch.ca/bidens-tech-war-goes-nuclear-2/5826500 It is very distressing to watch America’s anti-American intellectual class, with its hold over public schools, universities and their law and medical schools, Democrat governments, and the […]

Question 1: Hitler In the West, we’re taught that Hitler is the embodiment of all evil, but it’s more complicated than that, isn’t it? The more I read about Hitler, the more convinced I am that his views about the Versailles Treaty were fairly commonplace among Germans living at the time. It seems to me that […]

With the Supreme Court now sidelined from dissent, the government led by the extremist parties can transform Israel into an authoritarian regime. Despite massive street protests since January, and international pressure on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to throw out the bill, the judicial reform measure is now law. It passed on a vote of 64-0 […]

The Pentagon inspector general found the arms Washington sent to Kiev did not undergo the required inspections. A report from the inspector general found weapons the US sent to Ukraine in the hands of criminals and on the black market.  The Arms Control Act requires the White House to establish an inspection system for weapons the US […]

TEHRAN (Iran News) –For years Palestinians have been suffering from the Zionist regime’s crimes but international bodies and even most nations have remained passive or indifferent to those crimes and this has emboldened Israel to continue its crimes under any pretext and now it is reported that the fake regime has some vicious plans to […]

The nation’s recruiting crisis has reportedly deepened as current and former troops discourage their loved ones from joining. US military recruiting woes worsen as veterans sour on enlistment, weakening the main pipeline for new service members. The US military’s recruiting woes have reportedly intensified as current and former troops increasingly advise their family members against […]

Anglo Alliance enables Zelensky’s petulant behaviour. US officials are growing tired of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky making endless demands for Western support, writes Douglas MacKinnon, a former adviser for policy and communications at the Pentagon, in an op-ed for The Hill. Even without MacKinnon’s insight, it is evident that Western leaders are becoming weary of […]

We only have true control over our domestic affairs. Recent machinations in the world of international finance have given Francis Fukuyama’s thesis, or something resembling it, a short new lease on life. The political philosopher published The End of History and the Last Man in 1992. The book argued that history had decided that liberal democracy […]

The Role Model of Our Generation After Two World Wars Time is again “out of joint” (Shakespeare) as it was before the First and Second World Wars. Yet it seems that we citizens again do not know what to do in this incendiary situation. Above all, the intellectuals among us have a much greater responsibility […]

Recently, while outlining the deterioration in relations between Beijing and Seoul, the present author commented on a new scandal that further inflamed tensions. It has to do with highly critical comments made by Xing Haiming, China’s ambassador to Seoul, concerning South Korea’s foreign policy. The problems began on June 8, 2023, when South Korean opposition […]

Kari Lake’s chart topping hit “81 Million Votes My Ass” Earlier this month Kari Lake released her new hit single “81 Million Votes My Ass” describing the entirely unbelievable “results” from the 2020 presidential election. Kari’s new hit song, “81 Million Votes My Ass” with The Truth Bombers and Mailman Media, debuted on Billboard’s Digital […]

While everybody else is distracted, the globalists are making absolutely enormous moves. Previously, I have written about the UN’s new worldwide system for cracking down on “misinformation” and about their desire to implement a global system of digital identification that is tied to our bank accounts. I realize that these things sound really wild, but they aren’t being done […]

The Nato summit in Lithuania this week served only to underscore the utter hypocrisy of western leaders in pursuing their proxy war in Ukraine to “weaken” Russia and oust its president, Vladimir Putin. Both the US and Germany had made clear before the summit that they would block Ukraine’s admission to Nato while it was in the midst of a war with Russia. That message was formally announced by Nato Secretary […]

The United States has settled on a multi-pronged strategy to thwart China’s development and preserve America’s premier position in the global order. The economic part of the plan is called “decoupling”, which refers to the selective blocking of China’s access to critical technology (particularly advanced semiconductors). The strategy has garnered nearly-universal support among America’s foreign policy elites […]

Governments’ use of the pandemic to claim sweeping new emergency powers has had destructive effects. Long before Covid struck, economists detected a deadly pattern in the impact of natural disasters: if the executive branch of government used the emergency to claim sweeping new powers over the citizenry, more people died than would have if government […]

“Why exactly are we at war with Russia?” Those are the verboten words that Tucker Carlson to utter at the start of Episode 7 Of his Tucker on Twitter series where he highlights the irony that the so-called ‘war for democracy’ is actually enabling dictatorship and tyranny. With nuclear extinction a possibility and 1000s of […]

At his speech during the NATO Summit in Lithuania, President Biden called the U.S. and Europe “anchors for global security” when in reality there are no anchors during this increasingly dangerous and polarized time of never-ending war in Europe. Our NATO allies are not, as Biden would suggest, anchors in a turbulent sea of demons […]

Dr. Robert Malone was skeptical about various “depopulation agenda” theories involving covid.  But his mind has changed since receiving an analysis of official documents from a colleague.  The incriminating documents included The Kissinger Report. “Reading through the comments, observations, and associated documents I was stunned by the frank, ‘Realpolitik’-based arguments in favor of a US Federal Government […]

Despite the good intentions and financial promises of the Brussels conference, a comprehensive solution to the Syrian crisis remains unachievable, as reported not only by Arab newspapers but also by much of the international media. It is pointed out that under the current conditions of the difficult Syrian situation, which is a detrimental consequence of […]

The fabric of America’s strategic ties to the Gulf region is fraying. The leader of its most consequential nation, Saudi Arabia, has essentially told the Biden administration with regard to oil supply, arms sales or nuclear power, “If you want to work with me fine, but if not, there are others who will.” Less visible […]

Opening comments to the general public to ask a question, in sincerity: what changed the minds of society’s former First Amendment advocates Yesterday a House Committee — Republican-led, but still — released a series of documents showing without a doubt that the FBI has been forwarding thousands of content moderation “requests” to Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube […]

The NATO summit that has just concluded in Vilnius, Lithuania set out a sweeping plan for global conflict, making clear that the war against Russia in Ukraine is just a step toward confrontation and war with other perceived threats to imperialist interests. Its joint communiqué made clear that China was at the top of the […]

The Russians will return and some of them will be up for settling scores with those who think Russian or other women make easy targets for their bile, Declan Hayes writes. As sport shifts its focus from Wimbledon to the Women’s World Cup down under, MI6’s focus is on assassinating pole vaulter Yelena Isinbaeva, who […]

In a bold display of the bipartisan determination of the U.S. Congress after 9/11 to lock-in forever the bonanza that the Congress temporarily granted to America’s ‘Defense’ industries (manufacturers of war-weapons, etc.), the proposed congressional Resolution, on July 19th, “On the Amendment (Paul Amdt. No. 222 )”, aiming “To express the sense of Congress that […]

The Biden regime is doing its best to ruin the United States’ good name on the world stage. Biden has opened the border, flooded the US with millions of illegals, destroyed the US energy sector, blown up inflation, jailed political prisoners, indicted the top opposition candidate, cracked down on First Amendment rights, surrendered to the […]

“Some people think that the Federal Reserve Banks are United States Government institutions. They are private monopolies which prey upon the people of these United States for the benefit of themselves and their foreign customers; foreign and domestic speculators and swindlers; and rich and predatory money lenders.” – The Honorable Louis McFadden, Chairman of the House […]

[This article on the importance of WikiLeaks revelations related to Serbia and Kosovo comes as WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is facing extradition to the U.S. where the U.S. government is seeking to try him under the Espionage Act. If Assange is extradited and convicted in what would amount to a show trial, it would represent a major blow to […]

In the debate pitting defenders of racial preferences in college admissions against proponents of meritocracy, both sides implicitly accept the premise that there must be a single national elite. What divides the two sides is how the members of this single national elite are to be selected in their late teens or early 20s. But […]

There can be little question that the grim prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, which still shows no sign of closing anytime soon, is a key legacy — in the worst sense imaginable — of America’s post-9/11 forever wars.  I’ve been covering the subject for decades now and that shameful legacy has never diminished.  Last month, […]

The Wall Street Journal of March 31, 2023 (page A20, if you must know) featured this headline: “Turkey’s Parliament Ratifies NATO bid.” Here is the first paragraph of this entry: “The Turkish parliament ratified Finland’s entrance into the NATO on Thursday, removing the last obstacle to a historic expansion of the alliance in response to Russia’s […]

Dear Americans, your president says “Assad must go”. Do you think he’s mentally fit to give an opinion on the President of our country? While on the campaign trail, President Joe Biden spoke with some “Syrian American activists” who favor increased sanctions on the country as well as regime change in Damascus, during a private […]

“Who controls the food supply controls the people; who controls the energy can control whole continents; who controls money can control the world.” Join us on Telegram , Twitter , and VK . Way back in the 1970s, the far-seeing genius Henry Kissinger identified food (in addition to energy) as a major mechanism that could […]

The deluded, stupid, and/or lying, President of the United States, said, of the Ukraine war, on July 13th, that “Putin has already lost the war. … There is no possibility of him winning the war in Ukraine. He’s already lost that war.” As-if wishing it so will make it so. On July 20th, linking to news-articles in […]

A British think tank analysed the failures of Ukraine’s counteroffensive on September 4.

I had a relatively marginal Christian upbringing as a child and really didn’t become interested in questions of a metaphysical nature until later in life. My relationship to organized religion has always been to meet it with skepticism. I appreciate the fundamental moral messages and the aspirations to care for your fellow man, but I […]

The West is not ready to battle China in a war. Reports are confirming that think tanks in the United States have investigated the ammunition shortages caused by the attempt to arm Ukraine and found them to be dire. Ammunition stockpiles in the West have been found wanting, the Financial Times reported. The military-industrial complex of NATO (North Atlantic […]

If Ukraine joined NATO now, it would mean a direct confrontation with Moscow, a senior US official has said. Washington does not wish to spark a direct confrontation with Russia and wants Kiev to end its conflict with Moscow before it joins NATO. US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan has stated that Ukraine’s future lies […]

While this piece will touch on the war in Ukraine it is more about the U.S., and the Biden administration, and how they will cope with their  defeat in their war on Russia. Please keep that in mind when commentating. Washington’s moment of recognizing the defeat in Ukraine, and its consequences, has yet to arrive. […]

The Vilnius Summit Communique is a crude attempt to NATO-ize Washington’s list of enemies in order to enlist broader support for the impending global conflict. The intended targets of this campaign are Russia and China, the main opponents of the so-called “rules-based order”. Neither of these countries pose a direct security threat to NATO or the […]

In 1963, the summer I turned 11, my mother had a gig evaluating Peace Corps programs in Egypt and Ethiopia. My younger brother and I spent most of that summer in France. We were first in Paris with my mother before she left for North Africa, then with my father and his girlfriend in a […]

Vested interests create “checks and balances” primarily to make political systems non-responsive to demands for social reform. Historically, therefore, the checks are politically unbalanced in practice. Instead of producing a happy medium, their effect often has been to check the power of the people to assert their interests at the expense of the more powerful. […]

Both in domestic matters and in foreign affairs, there have been few U.S. Presidencies that have failed as thoroughly as Biden’s is failing. His foreign policies have focused upon defeating simultaneously Russia and China, two countries on the opposite side of the planet from us and which for decades have sought good relations with us, […]
