Scandinavia’s fake news about Russia was released at this particular point in time and specifically included the claim that Moscow is considering acts of sabotage in NATO-controlled waters so as to distract from Hersh’s report and revive the false story that the Kremlin blew up Nord Stream. Just like the New York Times’ report from […]

Why China and its trading allies are well placed to topple the dollar After decades meting out sanctions and financial coercion, the US may soon feel its grip on world trade beginning to loosen. Change is good, but dollars are better, a US author of romance novels once wrote. A similarly light-hearted sentiment often inspires […]

Alexander Dugin Let us look at the main actors in the war unfolding in Ukraine. Here we can refer to the ‘geopolitical chessboard’ metaphor introduced by Zbigniew Brzezinski. Obviously, the territory of Ukraine, and to some extent Russia, is a ‘chessboard’ on which the global geopolitical confrontation is taking place. At the same time, Kiev […]

Mexico is by no means the only notable recent defector from the “international community,” Stephen Karganovic writes. Among high-profile defections from the “international community,” due to its geopolitical stature Mexico stands out. But it is by no means the only notable recent defector. African governments en masse are renouncing compliance with the “rules based order.” […]

When a real-world emergency happens, all of NATO’s pious and self-regarding talk implodes in a pile of dust. A 7.8. magnitude earthquake hits Europe’s southern neighbors Türkiye and Syria – and the NATO alliance does next to nothing in response. What sort of security organization is that? Rather, it seems to be too busy trying […]

The U.S. dollar has dominated global trade and capital flows over many decades. However, as Visual Capitalist’s Bruo Venditti details below, many nations are looking for alternatives to the greenback to reduce their dependence on the United States.

  Excerpts from Pepe Escobar’s interview for Sputnik with Ekaterina Blinova. The Biden administration’s policy of simultaneously confronting both Russia and China is doomed to fail, Pepe Escobar, geopolitical analyst and veteran journalist, told Radio Sputnik’s New Rules podcast. “It’s so absurd, that obviously these neocons, they haven’t even read [Zbigniew] Brzezinski,” Escobar said, referring […]

On April 26, Mary Zhao, a writer for Radio Free Asia, wrote a bizarre piece attacking China for not providing “transgender girls with necessary medicines,” exposing once again the absurd lengths to which the US propagandists will go to undermine a nation it has targeted. The same day, they posted a cartoon of French President Macron portrayed […]

China’s CNOOC reported the receipt of the first cargo of liquefied natural gas that the company paid for in Chinese yuan in the latest instance of the ongoing diversification of international energy trade. The state energy firm, as quoted by China Daily, said it had bought 65,000 tons of LNG from the UAE, noting that settling international […]

The West, with its decadence, its Democrats and Republicans, still lives in Rome’s savage shadow, where we are always at war with Eastasia and, thus, with ourselves. This article expands upon elements of Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova’s recent comment that “the Germans are rewarding the non-Nazi Zelensky for the fratricidal massacre, the abolition […]

On March 21, 2023 Britain confirmed that it was sending depleted uranium (DU) weapons to Ukraine , prompting a response from Russian president, Vladimir Putin, that, “If all this happens, Russia will have to respond accordingly, given that the west collectively is already beginning to use weapons with a nuclear component.” Russian defense minister, Sergei Shoigu, warned that such steps moved us closer […]

Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson is famous for being a 100% honest former member of America’s George W. Bush Administration — the chief deputy to Secretary of State Colin Powell — who went public afterward telling the world how evil that Government was, based upon what he saw and heard during that time. On April 6th, the […]

Governor DeSantis recently took aim at the Federal Reserve, presumably to bolster his national-issues profile ahead of announcing a run for the presidency, which he is expected to do in May. He lambasted both Chairman Powell’s leadership and the nascent moves towards a central bank digital currency (CBDC). DeSantis apparently wants to demonstrate his populist […]

On May 19-21, 2023, Hiroshima, Japan will host the G7 summit.

These […]

The Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson says declarations of the Ukrainian intelligence chief Kirill Budanov are proof that the US President Joe Biden’s administration is “sponsoring terrorism”.

Many Middle Eastern experts are increasingly focused on how the outcome of Turkey’s pivotal elections in May could alter the regional order. Turkish citizens will vote in presidential and legislative elections that might be pivotal in the country’s volatile national politics and ambition for regional prominence.

Today, a new report from the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy’s Timothy A. Wise documents how the United States’ practice of agricultural dumping of cheap exports into Mexico has hampered the Mexican government’s efforts to improve food self-sufficiency.

It comes as no surprise that the United States and the European Union didn’t have the face to commend the performance of Recep Erdogan and his party in the presidential and parliamentary elections in Turkiye on Sunday. The election results do not serve the geopolitical interests of the US and its European allies. It is […]

Getting Real About Capitalism-Imperialism and Reckless US Foreign Policy* Last I looked the blood-drenched inter-imperialist carnage was continuing in Ukraine, where the war continues be the long and gory slog many figured it would be from early in Russia’s invasion.  The bodies continue to pile higher. The monstrous conflict appears likely to go on for […]

China and Brazil recently finalized a trade deal in their own currencies completely bypassing the dollar, but that’s not the only bad news for the world’s reserve currency. A Russian official announced that the BRICS nations are working to develop a “new currency,” yet another sign that dollar dominance is waning. State Duma (the Russian […]

Though no one outside of NATO’s legions of Dr Strangeloves will admit to working towards a nuclear High Noon at the OK Corral, all of NATO’s saber-rating has consequences. Though Martin Jay’s recent Nord Stream article in praise of Seymour Hersh’ forensic investigation of the 26 September 2022 Nord Stream terrorist attack should need no […]

And in that time, the Great Men of the West crawled for leagues across broken glass to law their swords at the feet of the Empress of the East, for thus was the nobility of her spirit I used to think Kim Yo-jong was the greatest woman on earth. Then I found that she engages […]

How the US Enforces the American Empire The American empire is not enforced by walls with armed guards to prevent its citizens from escaping but, instead, by the almighty dollar. Since the enthronement of the dollar as a reserve currency in 1944 at the Bretton Woods conference and then the establishment of the petrodollar in […]

  The reason, in a nutshell, is that America’s neoconservatism (or aggressive insistence that it must remain the world’s leading nation) is antagonizing so many previously neutral or “non-aligned” nations to shun America, so that the steam is going out of the U.S.-led effort to salvage Ukraine as a U.S. ‘ally’. America’s existing ‘allies’ need […]

The regime is trying to whip up maximum hysteria or the chances that the US government could default on its debts if the debt ceiling is not raised. Anyone whose been paying attention for a while, however, knows there’s a 99.99 percent chance that the parties involved will soon raise the debt ceiling and the US […]

Christians are being viciously persecuted, attacked, spat on and abused in Israel under Benjamin Netanyahu’s far-right regime and authorities are doing little to nothing to hold their abusers to account, according to Christian leaders in the Holy Land.

A new film imagines the possibility of a voluntary euthanasia scheme being introduced in Japan for all over 75s as a “solution” to Japan’s ageing population.

The official visit by Chinese State Councilor and Defence Minister General Li Shangfu to Russia on April 16-19 prima facie underscored the two countries’ emergent need to deepen their military trust and close coordination against the backdrop of worsening geopolitical tensions and the imperative to maintain the global strategic balance. The visit carries forward the pivotal decisions taken at […]

It was always inevitable that the Pentagon’s and the CIA’s “war on terrorism” would begin fizzling out, especially as the number of foreigners they were killing significantly diminished. When U.S. forces got booted out of Afghanistan and began killing significantly less people in Iraq, the rage that motivates terrorists to strike began going down.  That’s […]

I have been watching its arrival for a number of years, and now it has arrived–the transformation of our society from merit-based to status-based.  This is a major revolution. “From status to contract” was Sir Henry Maine’s description of the rise of a merit-based society in which aristocratic privilege was eliminated and equality under the […]

Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, who claimed he acted as an intermediary between Russia and Ukraine at the start of the special operation, said in a video that Russian President Vladimir Putin assured him that he would not kill his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky.

The Bank for International Settlements (BIS), which is often described as the central bank of central banks, is working on a new global central bank digital currency (CBDC) that could become the new one-world digital currency. Known as “Project Icebreaker,” the plan involves coordinating all of the world’s central banks and their respective currencies under a new foreign exchange […]

  Maxim Medovarov The paired concept of “Iran” and “Turan” has undergone many modifications in history. Its classical use is associated with the medieval Persian epic, in particular, with Firdausi, where “Iran” was understood as a state of sedentary farmers, and “Turan” as a world of nomads of Central Asia (in antiquity—Iranian-speaking, and since the […]

In mid-April, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs released its Diplomatic Bluebook 2023, its most important guidebook on international affairs. Japan’s foreign minister, Yoshimasa Hayashi, wrote the foreword, which begins: “The world is now at a turning point in history.” This phrase is key to understanding the Japanese approach to the war in Ukraine. Hours after […]

The 65th Grammy Awards ceremony is being shredded by conservatives for featuring what has been described as a “Satanic” performance.

West Asia is a region that is currently experiencing a great deal of geopolitical activity. Recent diplomatic efforts, initiated by Russia and overseen by China, secured a long-elusive Iranian and Saudi Arabian rapprochement, while Syria’s return to the Arab League has been welcomed with great fanfare. The diplomatic flurry signals a shift away from the Imperial “Divide […]

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova recently replied to comments made by a German Foreign Minister, saying this is yet more proof that the Western allies were planning a war on Russia all along.

Yes, you read the headline correctly.  Collectively, the three big banks that have collapsed in 2023 had more assets than all 25 banks that collapsed in 2008 did.  Unfortunately, the banking collapse of 2023 is far from over.  We still have eight more months to go before this year is done, and many more banks […]

From May to December of last year, tens of thousands more Brits than usual died for mysterious reasons – or so that is what the corporate media is claiming while avoiding all talk of Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) “vaccines.” The Mirror, a British tabloid, reported that Brits “are dying in their tens of thousands,” but that “we don’t really […]

It was a blunder. Worse than that, it was a crime. On March 20, 2003, what was officially one of America’s shorter wars began with an airstrike on Saddam Hussein’s presidential palace in Baghdad. U.S. armed forces, 160,000 strong, moved out of Kuwait and across Iraq, and after overcoming a few small roadblocks along the […]

A bombshell report from independent journalist Seymour Hersh — published on Substack — reveals and confirms exactly what we reported last year: That the US Dept. of Defense covertly blew up the Nordstream pipelines, carrying out an act of terrorism against its own western allies in an insanely dangerous effort to harm Russia’s energy exports.

Libya, once a prosperous and peaceful country, has been ravaged by a war between armed factions backed by regional and global players ever since the 2011 NATO-led invasion. The war and destruction have significantly destabilized the country, and armed groups now openly operate. Countries seeking regional influence and aspiring to control Libyan oil have been […]

If the US feels that it’s obtained a decisive edge over China through the crystallization of AUKUS+ and upon maximally stockpiling weapons in Taiwan, then it might even seek to provoke a conflict that wargamers convinced themselves Beijing would lose, which is a frightening scenario that can’t be ruled out. The US is shaping the […]

People are going to the border between the United States and Mexico. At midnight, a rule that has been keeping people from crossing the border will end.

eality isn’t what it used to be. It never really was, but that’s another story. This one isn’t about reality per se. It’s about the War on Reality, the one we’re in the middle of, the war that started when the War on Terror was cancelled in the Summer of 2016. It’s actually an extension […]

Leaked Pentagon documents indicate Ukraine lacks the armor and air defenses needed to succeed Under US guidance, Ukraine is planning a major counteroffensive likely later this Spring when the fields and secondary roads that are not asphalted dry out. Right now most military vehicles cannot operate over open fields and have real difficulty on unpaved secondary roads. According […]

Washington has reportedly told Kiev the same thing it told Kabul ahead of the 2021 pullout. Washington has told Kiev to scale back its ambitions, just as it had advised the US-backed regime in Kabul before the disastrous retreat.

The Ukrainian military junta is under intense pressure from its sponsors to finally prove that the over 158 billion dollars that the collective West has so far invested in it were absolutely worth spending. The long-announced major offensive by military forces under the control of the criminal Kiev regime is inevitable; no one should doubt that anymore, and it is really only a matter of days before this […]

Kiev’s neo-Nazi regime has once again launched a terrorist operation against Russia. Several Ukrainian military drones were seen in Moscow, causing fear among local inhabitants.

Background The European Economy is on the brink. The IMF has dire predictions for 2023 and for the foreseeable future.

The IMF does not distinguish between […]

The RESTRICT Act (Restricting the Emergence of Security Threats that Risk Information and Communications Technology Act) has recently been making the rounds in the media, and rightfully so.

Brutally politicizing humanitarian aid, Biden assists Turkey but refuses to mobilize aid and rescue workers to save thousands in northern Syria because of U.S. vendetta against Bashar al-Assad government.

Both U.S. Congressional Democrats and Republicans are stone-cold guilty of multiple counts of misprision of felony.

Indian media revealed in mid-January that their country had been processing and re-exporting discounted Russian oil to the West, including the US, in a move that discredited the spirit of that de facto New Cold War bloc’s anti-Russian sanctions. Most observers brushed off those reports since they went against their worldview wherein it was taken for granted that the […]

I’ve been saying since, uh, 2010ish that Russia should be doing influence operations in the West to try to break down the society. Yet, despite my position as probably the single most prominent American shill for Russia, and definitely in a position to know, I can tell you: there is zero evidence that anything like […]

Brussels is punishing Belgrade for not signing the agreement in Ohrid by allowing separatist Albanian authorities in Pristina to hold local elections in Serbian-majority northern Kosovo.

“Global Power Struggles Signal An End to An Era of Diplomacy.” So ran a page one headline for the New York Times April 11 print edition, marking Joe Biden’s ceremonial Ireland visit to to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Accords.

The larger context within which Kyrgyzstan’s latest law enforcement operation was carried out suggests that this foiled regime change plot was less about irreconcilable clan rivalries and much more about the US trying to make problems for Russia.

A year after Emmanuel Macron won a second term as president of France, triumphing over Marine Le Pen, his far-right challenger, it appears things are not going according to plan for the diminutive French leader. In 2017, Macron beat Le Pen 66.1% vs 33.9% In 2022 (last April), Macron triumphed by a narrower margin (58.6% vs 41.5%) And […]

Germany’s main foreign intelligence agency recently reported that Ukraine is losing hundreds of soldiers daily.

All the signs were there for American journalists to arrive at the conclusion of Hersh. But they didn’t, fearing this would be an anti-patriotic act.

When the Trump administration announced a policy suggesting a “decoupling” from China in the sense that the world’s two biggest economies will no longer do business together, his idea was to turn “America into the manufacturing superpower of the world, consequently ending its “reliance on China once and for all.” This was thought to be […]

Prior to Israel’s founding as a Jewish state in 1948, Christians made up 20% of Jerusalem’s population. Since then, the population has experienced a staggering decline, counting a presence of 2% in the birthplace of Jesus.

Seeing as how Egypt, Ethiopia, Russia, the UAE, and the US all have important interests in Sudan, it’s clear that this latest African conflict could indeed have far-reaching consequences if it continues and especially if its “deep state” war descends into a civil war. In that event, this geostrategic country could suddenly become an object […]

An equitable world order is gaining momentum as tensions flare between the dominant and emerging world powers Multipolarity is a code word for more equitable power sharing in the world.

We’re not living the American dream. We’re living a financial nightmare. The US government is funding its existence with a credit card. The government—and that includes the current administration—is spending money it doesn’t have on programs it can’t afford, and “we the taxpayers” are the ones being forced to foot the bill for the government’s […]

Twenty-first-century America was on a trajectory of gradual decline—until it began to implode. Was the accelerant the COVID-19 pandemic and unhinged lockdowns? Or was the catalyst the woke revolution fueled by the 2020 summer of exempted rioting, looting, arson, and violence? Or was it perhaps the deranged fixation on removing Donald Trump from the presidency […]

Russian fertilizers will be sent to Kenya and Nigeria free of charge amid concerns over global food insecurity, the deputy FM says.

The Americans’ plan to replace Russia’s share of the European oil market with hydrocarbons from the Middle East fails again.

Everything hinges on the widely announced “Spring Offensive”, writes the New York Times, with a small awkward thing being that it has been indefinitely postponed.

Everyone is asking the question: Why can’t people see the obvious? Why can’t people believe what is going on and stand up and do something about it?

“The utility industry’s custom of shutting off power punishes people for being poor,” said the authors of a new report.

Let’s start with the basics. Roughly 5% of the human race currently live in the United States of America. That very small fraction of humanity, until quite recently, enjoyed about a third of the world’s energy resources and manufactured products and about a quarter of its raw materials. This didn’t happen because nobody else wanted […]

Thousands gathered in Prague to demand that authorities turn attention away from helping Ukraine and towards facing problems at home Thousands protested in downtown Prague on Sunday, arguing that the Czech government is devoting too many resources to helping Ukraine fight Russia rather than tackling the energy crisis and high inflation at home. Many are […]

The Iranian Navy has armed all of its “destroyers” with Abu Mahdi anti-ship cruise missiles, Rear Admiral Shahram Irani revealed during an interview with Fars News agency on May 6. The cruise missile, which is named after former Iraqi Popular Mobilization Units deputy commander Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, was unveiled on 20 August 2020 along with […]

Finally, the Russian investigation about American biological activities on Ukrainian soil was completed. A special parliamentary committee had been formed to carefully analyze evidence of crimes such as the production of biological weapons in military biolabs found and neutralized by Russian armed forces. The parliamentary group worked in partnership with experts linked to Russia’s Radiation, […]

It is as if the president-elect, Joe Biden, who promised to bring together instead of divide, has not missed many opportunities to divide an already polarized country even more.  Now The US government under the guise of National Security is threatening to go all-out communist-fascist boot-stomping dictatorship—not in words but deeds. The much-touted RESTRICT ACT […]

  Alexander Dugin   Alexander Dugin predicts that post-Putin Russia will see intensified patriotism and a sterner stance against the West, creating unprecedented challenges. Putin is not dependent on the Russian elite, political parties, oligarchic cartels, social movements, institutions, and all administrative instances of Russia. They are all dependent on him. However, he is certainly […]

Introduction: In some sense, the most recent events in the Middle East, described vividly today by TomDispatch regular Juan Cole, creator of the must-read Informed Comment website, should be seen as yet more fallout from Washington’s version of the Ukraine war. I’m thinking, of course, about how, in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, President George W. Bush and […]

This past Saturday night, the New York Rangers National Hockey League (NHL) team did something almost unbelievable. Though scheduled to wear LGBTQ “Pride” jerseys during pregame warmups, not one member of the team did so. Another recent example of defying LGBTQ+ “Pride” jersey demands in the NHL — which is run by people who are […]

Last week I discussed the ironic role that America’s dominant Neocons may have played in shaping recent world events, perhaps inadvertently producing a beneficial outcome exactly contrary to their aggressive intent. Over the last decade, prominent political scientists such as Graham Allison of Harvard and John Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago had argued that […]

Monsanto has been voted the evilest corporation in the world several times over. Yet, we don’t hear anything about them now. What happened? Did they complete the evil? Did they retire after all their evil wrapped up? No, not so much. Monsanto was one of the most hated companies in the Americas. There were protests […]

Dr. Robert Malone had the privilege of helping Project Veritas put together a new exposé about Pfizer’s covid cash cow: its mRNA covid “vaccine.” An undercover Project Veritas reporter spoke with Jordon Trishton Walker, who is in charge of Pfizer’s research and development, strategic operations, and mRNA scientific planning division. What he revealed is nothing short of shocking. […]

Systematically cutting off Berlin’s international partnerships and access to cheap energy may prove to be the country’s downfall German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock described her recent visit to China as “more than shocking,” arguing that while Germany should not “decouple” from Beijing, it should no longer be Berlin’s most important trading partner. Baerbock was in […]

It’s a very funny thing. In the US, the provision of services in such industries as security and intelligence is outsourced in a sprawling complex of contractors and subcontractors. In Australia, the entire military and security establishment is outsourced to Washington’s former mandarins, many of them earning a pile in consultancy fees. This, perhaps, is […]

On December 21, the president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, spoke to Congress in an effort to get more financial and military support from the American government. Zelenskyy spoke of peace, freedom, and interconnection as the main goals of the Ukrainian fight but that Ukraine needed American resolve. Zelenskyy stated: From the United States to China, from Europe to […]

Follow along with me now. This is not complicated. Russia reached a tentative agreement with the Government of Sudan to build a base for the Russian Navy on Sudan’s coast. Yet the media claims that Moscow is behind the current counter coup by the Rapid Security Force aka RSF, which is trying to replace the […]

An all-time media blackout is in effect. We’re experiencing real-time Sovietization. Above, most recent search results for “Morell” in the New York Times. Right, Google News. It transpires that the infamous incident before the 2020 election in which 50 former intelligence officials signed an open letter declared a New York Post expose about Hunter Biden’s laptop to have the […]

The American Empire and Its Media (more) The dark backstory of Fox News and Tucker Carlson. A nonpartisan analysis. In the wake of the recent firing of America’s most-watched cable news host by Fox News, many people are wondering: who really is Tucker Carlson, and why was he fired? From William Fox to Marc Rich […]

Author’s Introductory Note  We bring to the attention of our readers the analysis of George F. Kennan (1948) which constitutes the foreign policy cornerstone of the “‘Truman doctrine.” These documents have set the groundwork. They have a direct bearing on US foreign policy and military doctrine under the Biden Administration, specifically with regard to Germany and the European […]

One continent from Lisbon to Vladivostok. Recently, the United States has been followed by a number of European countries in supporting a cold war policy toward Russia and China. This has created increasing problems in Europe—bringing a major war to the continent, creating serious economic difficulties, and intensifying a decline in living standards. In this […]

Author’s Note: RT did a second, larger write-up of the RAND paper, “Avoiding the Long War.” I read the original, but it takes so much effort to go through and pull the quotes that simply commenting on this piece is much easier. RAND coming out and saying that the US has already lost the war […]

Beijing says it wants to see “more high-caliber soldiers” in the ranks of the People’s Liberation Army China revised its conscription policy this week, saying that people with military experience along with college students will be on top of military draft lists if the country enters a war. The changes, prepared by the State Council […]

In my previous article, “The F-35: Sales to Allied Countries Don’t Mean It’s a Great Plane”, I discussed how corrupt American defense contractors can be, even bribing foreign officials to encourage them to accept deficient aircraft like the F-104 and possibly the F-35. My interest in corruption in the MIC dates back to the days when my […]

The US launched a similar program in Ukraine in 2014 The US has expanded its training of the Taiwanese military to include a program involving the US National Guard, Nikkei Asia reported on Thursday. A source told Nikkei that the training began sometime before spring 2022. In May 2022, Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen announced cooperation with the National Guard while […]

I don’t think I blogged about it, but early in 2021 I recall various “conspiracy theories” (i.e. facts the mass media wants to hide) about the deadly Marburg virus, which is virulent hemorrhagic fever that causes bleeding from the eyes and ears before you die; so, suitably zombie-apocalypse horrific to induce the required fear factors. […]

The Justice Department has just indicted him and three other members of the African People’s Socialist Party for advancing Russian propaganda—though it looks more like the Biden administration was looking for a scapegoat to justify its anti-Russia offensive and found one in a familiar place. On April 18, the Department of Justice announced the indictment of four […]

The Good Shepherd In Part 1, I reviewed how America became so lost.  Call it the GenX perspective if you want.  My personal account outlined the depth of lies that have been pushed onto the American public ever since Kennedy and Vietnam, particularly the recent years since September, 2001.  Half of the country has fact-checked […]

Earnings reports likely showing over $500 billion in outflow from major lenders raise new questions about the health of the sector. Top US banks have seen significant savings withdrawals following the collapse of three regional lenders, Bloomberg has reported. JPMorgan, Citi, Wells Fargo kick off industry reports Friday Failing to address deposit level is ‘failing […]

Like with any dictatorship, America’s is based upon censorship (as a consequence of which my articles are virtually banned in the U.S.-and-‘allied’ — or vassal — countries). In a democracy, there is no censorship, because censorship kills even the possibility of democracy. It enables mass-mind-control, which any dictatorship needs in order to exist and to survive. On April […]

The manic Western warmongering instinct is still viral and a potentially catastrophic danger. In line with its fateful imperial implosion, the United States-led military machine known as NATO is desperately cranking up on all cylinders – in order to incite war tensions in both of the world’s hemispheres. The global picture is at once condemnable […]

The accusation comes as Ansarallah-Saudi peace talks have been viewed as positive by both sides, and have resulted in the exchange of 900 prisoners Mahdi Al-Mashat, the head of the Supreme Political Council formed by the Ansarallah resistance movement, has accused the US of obstructing peace efforts in Yemen by exerting pressure on the countries […]

“Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, I’m a moron. Fool me three or more times consecutively, and I’m a voter.” ~ Jarod Kintz My gracious sakes alive; it is amazing that it is only eighteen months away from yet another mentally deranged presidential ‘election,’ and the insanity circus is already in town. Who […]

 After Democrats rammed through the latest massive spending package earlier this year containing tens of billions of dollars for 87,000 more IRS agents, the agency is not wasting any time going on a hiring binge. And it’s not one that will make Americans feel warm and fuzzy inside. The Criminal Investigation (CI) division of the […]

The FBI used an undercover employee to inform its leaked analysis on domestic extremism among Catholic Americans, House Judiciary Committee Republican Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan revealed in a letter addressed to FBI Director Christopher Wray. The House Judiciary Committee issued a subpoena to Wray on Monday requesting records relating to its probe into the FBI’s […]

Does this constitute a fresh official US confession of sorts? US Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland during a Thursday Senate hearing positively celebrated the destruction of the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipelines, due to a sabotage attack on September 26 of last year. Below she’s seen in live Senate testimony video  […]

Our reliance on the endless expansion of credit, leverage and credit-asset bubbles will have its own high cost. The Great Moderation of low inflation and soaring assets has ended. Welcome to the death by a thousand cuts of stagflation. It was all so easy in the good old days of the past 25 years: just keep pushing interest rates […]

NOW is the time to take IMMEDIATE AND MASSIVE ACTION to spread the word around the world regarding the upcoming meetings that the WHO has scheduled. PRIMARY ACTION: ALWAYS GET THE FACTS Ongoing negotiations regarding the proposed amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHR) are currently scheduled from February 20, 2023 to February 24, 2023.

The two sides expressed satisfaction with the cooperation aimed at “ensuring global oil market stability” Russian President Vladimir Putin and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman held a phone conversation on Friday, the Kremlin press service has said. The two leaders discussed various issues, ranging from cooperation in the oil market to efforts in resolving […]

You can call everyone for dinner, because our goose is cooked.  We are so deep in debt that the only way we can keep the entire system from collapsing is to keep borrowing even more money.  Perhaps you have been through a similar scenario with your own personal finances.  When you simply do not have […]

At least two 9/11 hijackers had been recruited into a joint CIA-Saudi intelligence operation that was covered up at the highest level, according to an explosive new court filing.  A newly-released court filing raises grave questions about the relationship between Alec Station, a CIA unit set up to track Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden and his […]

This photo array shows the pictures or titles of the 51+ CIA former officials who signed the letter in October 2020 declaring that the Hunter Biden laptop showed all the signs of a Russian disinformation op. Forty-seven of the photos show the real people. Four photos, which display a female with a black band across […]

Back in 2019 when the corrupt US House under Nancy Pelosi was frantically putting together a garbage narrative of President Trump saying something wrong on a phone call, TGP was putting together reasons why these crooks were so adamant to get President Trump. We knew then and we can confirm now that the reason they […]

South Africa has announced its intention to withdraw from the International Criminal Court. President Cyril Ramaphosa said the governing party’s decision is based on the “unfair treatment” of certain countries by the tribunal. South Africa has decided to withdraw from the International Criminal Court (ICC), President Cyril Ramaphosa announced on Tuesday, citing the tribunal’s “unfair […]

Thanks to the latest release of the “Twitter Files,” we now know without a doubt that the entire “Russia disinformation” racket was a massive disinformation campaign to undermine US elections and perhaps even push “regime change” inside the United States after Donald Trump was elected president in 2016. Here is some background. In November, 2016, […]

Recently, I paid for an item with the exact amount requested, including 89 cents in change. The salesgirl stared at the coins and clearly wasn’t sure what to do. Eventually, she reached for a calculator and began to total them up one at a time: 25 + 25 + 25 + 10 + 4. Having […]

It is not disloyal to either party or to the country to question a dangerous situation no one in America would have wanted a year ago. Are America’s national interests best served by our stance on the Ukraine-Russia war? It is striking that within the Democratic Party, with its long tradition of anti-war activism, there […]

Hegemon hacks are spinning that the North Atlantic has relocated to South China. Goodnight, and good luck. The collective cognitive dissonance displayed by the pack of hyenas with polished faces driving U.S. foreign policy should never be underestimated. And yet those Straussian neo-con psychos have been able to pull off a tactical success. Europe is […]

New ICBMs were on display during a military parade in Pyongyang marking 75 years since the foundation of the DPRK army North Korea has again flexed its muscle, with a display in its capital Pyongyang on Wednesday of what experts soon observed was the largest number of intercontinental ballistic missiles that it has ever paraded. […]

In view of the Fed, American banking crisis is over. Yet, US and European banks face the most acute stress since 2008 and 2011, respectively. Global economy is exposed to new headwinds. Last week, as the Federal Reserve pushed ahead with its 10th rate hike since last March, its chairman Jerome Powell declared that the […]

The formation of bodies such as BRICS is important for several reasons. Firstly, it provides a platform for emerging economies to come together and exchange ideas, experiences, and best practices in areas such as economic development, trade, and investment. This allows these countries to learn from each other, collaborate on common challenges, and jointly advocate […]

We are closer to a war with China than most people realize.  Right now, U.S. officials in Washington are deeply concerned that the Chinese may impose a full-blown blockade on Taiwan as the first step in a “reunification” campaign.  Many Americans don’t realize that such a move would be a really, really big deal.  If […]

That same old American institution called the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) which supports regime change and wars across the world has a board member who wrote an opinion piece for The Hill, a liberal online news organization on the relevance of the rules-based order and how much the world needs it.  Harley […]

The Urals blend oil price will no longer be set in Europe, with Asia now the largest market for Russian crude, Rosneft’s CEO says. Reference prices for Urals will be set by markets where “oil volumes actually go,” according to Igor Sechin. The EU will no longer set prices for Russia’s flagship Urals oil blend, […]

Between February 2020 and the end of 2022, nearly 300,000 excess deaths occurred in the United States that cannot be attributed to covid, but rather to lockdowns and people being deprived of health care. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is working on a report to confirm the leading cause of non-covid excess death, which is sure […]

We will enter a world without finance, and it will be a better world, for the economy will no longer be in thrall to the derangement and inequality of parasitic, predatory finance. A world without finance is currently unimaginable, because finance is now synonymous with financialization. In this context, finance no longer refers to longstanding […]

It is not easily identifiable – by design – on first glance, but documents from Pfizer and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show that nearly half a million children and young adults died within the year following Tony Fauci’s announcement that children are eligible for covid “vaccination.” Of this number, more than 118,000 […]

Clark is as corrupt as they come, as his Kosovo racket, and not to forget the lateral Jake Sullivan connection, one of the organizers of Maidan in 2014. Hunter Biden has received extensive media coverage of his involvement with Ukraine’s corrupt Burisma and his Rosemont Seneca Technology Partner’s investment in Metabiota, helping to fund and […]

The National Right to Life Committee just released its annual report on the state of abortion in the United States, and among the many helpful points of information it provides is the best estimate of the number of babies killed in the United States since Roe vs. Wade: 64 and a half million. That makes […]

  The unofficial, unspoken agreements underlying the monolithic Two-Party State cartel (perhaps best described by US historian Howard Zinn in A People’s History of the United States) that has dominated US politics and controlled all State powers and functions since just about forever are breaking down. The ruling elite families, groups and factions that control […]

As the Biden Regime and Uniparty rev up for war with nuclear Russia, Steve Bannon on Monday demanded that Joe Biden speak to nation and lay out the national vital interests at stake in a war in Ukraine with Russia. And lawmakers must pass a War Powers Resolution and explain why the US needs to […]

The powers that be are working feverishly to unleash a new central bank-controlled cryptocurrency for the new world order, and one viable contender is the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) new Unicoin Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). At the recent IMF spring meetings, the globalists unveiled their new “international central bank digital currency” called the Universal Monetary Unit, […]

If the German leader knew all along about Biden’s bombing plot, then he is complicit in treachery to the German people, Martin Jay writes. If the German leader knew all along about Biden’s bombing plot, then he is complicit in not only an act of international terrorism, but also treachery on a grand scale to […]

“We would regard it as the use of ‘dirty nuclear bombs’ against Russia, with all the consequences that entails,” a Russian official said as the U.S. and Germany prepare to send tanks and armored vehicles capable of firing depleted uranium munitions to Ukraine. A Russian official this week responded to the Biden administration’s refusal to […]

Every day one hears about someone dying. It could be a loved one, aging relative or a neighbor; it could be a screaming media headline about the latest mass killing or a hold-up gone wrong; or a stranger killed on the corner by a hit-and-run driver or in a car accident.  And the bodies are […]

The title of this article is a quote by the famous Chinese general, strategist, philosopher, and writer Sun Tzu who lived 2500 years ago.  And while it is true that warfare has dramatically changed over the past millennia (for example, operational art was added as an intermediate level between tactics and strategy), the fundamental logic […]

We recently wrote about the ways the United States’ allegations of North Korean munitions shipments to Russia had created a new standard of proof. However, it appears that the US side is not content with having hit rock bottom once again. On January 20, 2023 National Security Council Strategic Communications Coordinator John Kirby raised new […]

We recently got new data showing that China’s population shrunk last year. It is now projected to see its population continue to decline through the rest of this century. This is being portrayed as a disaster for China. A similar disaster has already hit Japan, South Korea, Italy and many other wealthy countries. People in […]

It borders on cliché the number of times historians lament how “fascism” is an over-used term. But Sinclair Lewis, writing about the specter of fascism a century ago, understood something most historians don’t – that U.S. intellectual culture is loathe to acknowledge fascist undercurrents in this country. I attribute this hostility to intellectuals’ belief that […]

“It is time,” President Biden announced in April 2021, “to end the forever war” that started with the invasion of Afghanistan soon after the tragic terror attacks on this country on September 11, 2001. Indeed, that August, amid chaos and disaster, the president did finally pull the last remaining U.S. forces out of that country. A year […]

This is the tale of two pilgrims following the road that really matters in the young 21st century. This is the tale of two pilgrims following the road that really matters in the young 21st century; one coming from NATOstan and another one from BRICS. Let’s start with Le Petit Roi, Emmanuel Macron. Picture him […]

I normally don’t watch CNN. But a recent online essay by senior political analyst, Ron Brownstein, caught my attention. In his piece Brownstein makes some of points that I have been making over the past few years (since the Trump election in 2016), and that have much to do with the tectonic shift in the […]

Xi Jinping has urged the China’s military to ramp up training “oriented toward actual combat”. The president told troops at a navy base that their mission is to defend the country’s territorial sovereignty. President Xi Jinping has urged the Chinese military to prepare for real combat, national media reported on Wednesday. The remarks came days […]

Russian petroleum products are continuing to flow into the EU indirectly from Indian traders, Reuters reports. France, Türkiye, Belgium and the Netherlands are the key buyers of diesel processed in India, the outlet says Indian refineries have ramped up diesel and jet fuel supplies to the EU after Russian oil imports to the country surged […]

Dag Hammarskjöld, the tragic second United Nations secretary general, once said the organization “was created not to lead mankind to heaven but to save humanity from hell.” Of course, this depends very much on what kind of hell you had in mind. The fallout from Adolf Hitler’s extermination camps must have dominated Hammarskjöld’s world during […]

The Ukrainian forces targeted central Donetks with multiple launch rocket system fire early on Orthodox Easter Sunday morning. At least one person reported killed after missiles fell near an Orthodox cathedral. The Ukrainian forces targeted central Donetks with multiple launch rocket system fire early on Sunday morning, with several projectiles reportedly landing in close vicinity […]

Macron’s recent statements have shown the erosion of Washington’s ‘zero-sum’ diplomacy compared to Beijing’s ‘win-win’ approach Over the course of the weekend, French President Emmanuel Macron unleashed political shockwaves by visiting China and declaring that the European Union must make itself less dependent on the United States, while urging Western European nations not to be […]

Facebook is censoring Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh’s story about US involvement in the destruction of Russia’s Nord Stream pipelines using a ‘fact checker’ with links to the Norwegian government in what represents a clear conflict of interest. Earlier this year, Hersh published a report asserting that the pipelines were destroyed by the US as part of […]

News reports have been studded in recent weeks with talk of a “national divorce.” Georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has been the face of the national divorce movement, but she is hardly alone in her view that Republican and Democrat states need to go their separate ways. For example, a March poll of American adults […]

Capitalism has always been about the accumulation and the concentration of wealth.  Marx and Engels first described that phenomena in their 1848 Communist Manifesto.  Thomas Piketty has also reminded us of that.  But what they never focused on was the personalization of wealth in capitalism and what that means for society.  The latest rankings of the richest individuals […]

Europe has not been this short on energy supplies for decades, but thanks to a series of self-inflicted, politically motivated decisions, the continent is now on the brink of total economic collapse for want of more energy. For years, European countries driven by insane left-wing ‘climate change’ ideology have been steadily shuttering power generation centers […]

Andrey Dmitriev It is believed that the ideology of National Bolshevism appeared in Germany in 1919, when the term “national Bolshevism” was first used in the German press. In Germany, a kind of informal party of people who wanted to cooperate with Soviet Russia and saw the future of Germany in an alliance with it […]

Rt Hon Alister JackMP for Dumfries & Galloway and Secretary of State for Scotland Dear Mr. Jack, With £2.5 trillions of debt how can we put foreign military adventures above priorities such as properly funding the NHS and treating our nurses decently? I wrote weeks ago asking if you would kindly explain why the UK […]

Cardiologist Dr. Aseem Malhotra took the BBC and the medical establishment by surprise when he ditched the script and called for an end to the covid-19 vaccine program. In a live BBC broadcast, Dr. Malhotra said that the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna mRNA vaccines pose a cardiovascular risk and are the most likely contributing factor to the excess cardiovascular death […]

Continuing violation of the human rights of targeted populations by powerful states and how to demand accountability.  Oral statement of 28 January 2023 at the Opening of the International People’s Tribunal on U.S. Imperialism and Sanctions. The scourge of unilateral coercive measures (UCM’s) on the enjoyment of human rights by billions of human beings worldwide has […]

Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters has delivered an anti-war address at the UN Security Council. The British rock icon has urged all sides of the conflict to stop fighting, warning the world is heading toward disaster. Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters spoke at a UN Security Council meeting on Wednesday where he urged an immediate […]

Russian officials now believe the West is pining for a full-scale war that could quickly go nuclear after the two wealthiest NATO countries approved the transfer of sophisticated main battle tanks to Ukraine, ostensibly so Kyiv can use them for a counter-offensive to push the Russian military out of the country. Specifically, the U.S. and […]

In late December, Venezuela’s leading opposition parties voted to oust Juan Guaidó as “interim president” and dissolve his parallel government. This was clearly not the ending the UK government had in mind. Four years ago, the British government made the bold decision to recognise Guaidó as Venezuelan president, and proceeded to facilitate his legal battle to seize roughly $2bn […]

Grimmer Every Day The situation for Ukraine looks grimmer every day. Zelensky as late as 7 March 2023 promised on CNN that Ukraine would “de-block” Russia’s siege of Artemovsk (Bakhmut) because a Russian conquest of Artemovsk would create an “open road” for Russia in eastern Ukraine. According to several reports, Zelensky concentrated no less than 80,000 troops […]

Russia and Japan have technically been at war with each other for almost 80 years. The US is the main roadblock to a peace treaty. “Give back the Northern Territories! You’re illegally occupying our land!” Every year, on February 7, slogans like this blare out through loudspeakers opposite the Russian embassy in Japan. This is […]

An investigation by the United Nations has concluded that money provided by the European Union to state entities in Libya has facilitated crimes against humanity ranging from forced labor and sexual slavery to torture. Through its financial support of the Libyan Coast Guard and the Libyan Directorate for Combating Illegal Migration (DCIM), the European Union […]

It is standard for politicians, reporters, and columnists to refer to the United States as the world’s largest economy and China as the second largest. I suppose this assertion is good for these people’s egos, but it happens not to be true. Measuring by purchasing power parity, China’s economy passed the U.S. in 2014, and it is […]

Journalist Dave Rubin was allowed into Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters recently, where owner Elon Musk opened the kimono and allowed him vast access to the company’s operations. When asked what he could share, Musk replied “anything that’s true.” Below is Rubin’s Twitter thread detailing his findings: “A Fractal Rube Goldberg Machine.” That’s what @elonmusk called Twitter. As […]

For over a year, we have been dutifully tracking several key datasets within the auto sector to find the critical inflection point in this perhaps most leading of economic indicators which will presage not only a crushing auto loan crisis, but also signal the arrival of a full-blown recession, one which even the NBER won’t […]

Buoyed by OPEC+ surprise production cuts, the price of Russia’s flagship Urals crude is threatening to reach beyond the $60 per barrel price cap set by the G7, with reports now emerging that oil loadings from western Russian ports in April are likely to reach their highest level since 2019. Despite a 500,000 barrel-per-day output cut announced […]
