Throughout its history, liberalism—the ideology today called “classical liberalism” or “libertarianism”—has suffered from the impression that it is primarily against things. This is not entirely wrong. Historically, liberalism coalesced as a recognizable and coherent ideology in opposition largely to mercantilism and absolutism throughout Western Europe. Over time, this opposition extended to socialism, protectionism, imperialism, aggressive […]

Despite Washington’s campaign to isolate Beijing, it has shown itself capable of steering global politics towards its goals The past few weeks have seen a comprehensive show of diplomatic force by China. Shortly after Xi Jinping completed a successful trip to Moscow, where he met with Vladimir Putin, Beijing announced it had brokered a deal […]

Western nations have begun pledging a variety of Western armored vehicles to Ukraine including infantry fighting vehicles and even main battle tanks. Until now, the majority of armored vehicles sent to Ukraine had been Soviet-era weapons Ukrainian forces were familiar with both in terms of operating and repairing them. However, following Ukraine’s Kherson and Kharkov […]

Russian President Vladimir Putin has discovered the hard way that military operations come at great cost. The war has essentially lapsed into a stalemate now, with Russia even losing ground that its troops had managed to gain during the war’s early phases after fierce Ukrainian counterattacks using Western-supplied weapons, mostly from the U.S. Entire Russian […]

The indisputable desperation with which his opponents are trying to derail his re-election bid exposes their true intentions in politically crucifying him all these years. They regard him as the greatest threat to their liberal-globalist cult not just because of his polar opposite socio-cultural policies at home, but because his grand strategy prioritizes reaching a […]

Republican 2024 candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has blasted the purely political indictment of Trump as a dark moment in American history, and of course, he is right. He correctly points out that this is going to further erode public trust in our electoral system. He also invoked the concept of national divorce. Breitbart News reports: Vivek […]

Harvard’s Kennedy School’s denial of a fellowship to Kenneth Roth, the former head of Human Rights Watch, because of his criticism of Israeli policies in the West Bank and Gaza is only the latest example of the corporate role played by Harvard’s most prestigious think tank on public policy.  Roth, who has spent the last […]

The number of new vehicles registered in the region in 2022 plunged to the lowest in 30 years, the ACEA says The European Union passenger car market contracted by 4.6% last year to just 9.3 million units, which is the region’s lowest level since 1993, the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA) reported this week. According to […]

Drug addicts suffer major withdrawal symptoms when they go cold turkey. In the case of high-tech startups and their banks (like Silicon Valley Bank), the super-low-interest-rate stimulant has been taken away by the drug dealer (the Fed) via interest rate hikes. With cheap credit drying up, firms switched to pulling cash out of SVB, all […]

The ongoing church conflict “has the traits of a religious war,” Sergey Naryshkin has said. Sergey Naryshkin, the head of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Russia, issued a dire warning about religious tensions in Ukraine. Kiev’s crackdown on the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) is part of a Western campaign to undermine religion in Ukraine […]

  For a country constantly chest-thumping about the size of its economy, the United States is remarkably over-reliant on one form of “export” – war. For decades, the American-led political West used proxy wars to hurt its geopolitical adversaries. While most of these weren’t a direct existential threat to US rivals and were relatively limited […]

What makes “wanting” a man okay to say for a woman today but “needing” a man anything but? It seems silly to feel as if you can’t admit to ‘needing a man’ simply because society has told you that you shouldn’t and hammers that message home daily.  There is nothing wrong with “needing” a man […]

  Russia’s President, Vladimir Putin, first took office at the very start of the 21st Century, when he hoped and intended for there to emerge a real partnership between Russia and the rest of The West. He then interpreted The West (U.S.-and-allied countries) to be motivated by basically benign intentions, which he shared himself. He […]

Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Ala.), the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, asked Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley on Wednesday if the United States of America is “adequately resourced and prepared” to deter and defeat a China-Russia alliance. Milley responded that the National Defense Strategy currently is structured to deal with a “pacing threat from China and an […]

In the early morning of March 20, 2003, US Navy bombers on aircraft carriers and Tomahawk missile-launching vessels in the Persian Gulf and the Mediterranean, along with Air Force B-52s in Britain and B-2s in Diego Garcia, struck Baghdad and other parts of Iraq in a “Shock and Awe” blitzkrieg to oust Iraqi dictator Saddam […]

  Most people are bewildered by what is a global energy crisis, with prices for oil, gas and coal simultaneously soaring and even forcing closure of major industrial plants such as chemicals or aluminum or steel. The Biden Administration and EU have insisted that all is because of Putin and Russia’s military actions in Ukraine. […]

Not even the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine would have happened if there hadn’t been for the relentless NATO expansion towards the East. And now NATO is even trying to do their ‘(un)fair’ share in the Asian Pacific region. After Barack Obama winning the Nobel prize for peace in 2009 in the form of political ‘advance […]

On January 17, the Saudi minister of finance, Mohammed Al-Jadaan, announced that the Saudi state is open to selling oil in currencies other than the dollar. “There are no issues with discussing how we settle our trade arrangements, whether it is in the US dollar, whether it is the euro, whether it is the Saudi […]

William Burns’ surprisingly accurate assessment of Russian-Chinese ties coincides with Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s upcoming trip to Beijing, which is aimed at advancing the incipient Sino-American New Détente. The CIA chief is thus tempering expectations about how far their discussions over far-reaching mutual compromises will go so that nobody gets the false expectation that […]

Russia’s pending Ukrainian victory will reverberate globally as well as more locally, Declan Hayes writes. Russia’s pending Ukrainian victory will reverberate globally as well as more locally. First off, once Odessa is secured, Zelensky’s landlocked rump Reich will become just another Bosnia, dependent upon NATO handouts and sordid criminal enterprises for its survival. Poland will […]

Israeli police stormed the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem’s Old City early Wednesday and arrested more than 350 people, and beat others.

The Middle East Eye reported […]

Writer and former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson says he has in his possession evidence from a study showing that covid “booster” vaccines push the immune system over the edge, causing an almost total collapse of immune function. In a series of tweets, Berenson wrote that based on the study’s findings, no more booster shots should go into […]

Asian economic giants China and India have launched separate programmes in an attempt to reduce the dominance of the US dollar in international transactions and allow them settle business in their own currencies.

Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu accused Washington of working to hurt his country amid consulate closure row Turkish Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu accused US ambassador Jeffry Flake of trying to “confuse” people in the host nation and told him to get his “filthy hands” off of it.

The number of health professionals and experts calling for the immediate suspension of COVID mRNA vaccines is growing, and yet governments still turn a blind eye to one of the most atrocious crimes against humanity. Late Sunday night, Prof. Retsef Levi from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) warned about the risks associated with experimental […]

In his recent speech, the leader of Hezbollah praised the Iraqi resistance, which disrupted the “American schemes” in the region. The compliments from Hassan Nasrallah should not be taken as a typical moral support for the Iraqis or a tribute to the courage of the resistance fighters, it goes without saying. The words of the […]

The creation of mechanisms for the confiscation of Russian property will have long-term consequences for both the West and the whole world Since the start of Russia’s military offensive in Ukraine, Western countries have frozen the assets of Russian state and private structures under so-called “blocking sanctions.” They have also discussed the option of seizing them and transferring […]

Those who know Wall Street lore sometimes recall that Fed chairman William Miller—Paul Volcker’s immediate predecessor—joked that most Americans believed the Federal Reserve was either an Indian reservation, a wildlife preserve, or a brand of whiskey. The Fed, of course, is none of those things, but there’s also one other thing the Federal Reserve is […]

Ethnic persecutions have been commonplace in Ukraine since 2014, when the Maidan coup d’état established a neo-Nazi dictatorship that began an ethnic cleansing campaign in the Donbass region, exterminating the Russian population. Now, however, the Kiev regime’s blacklist of ethnicities appears to be expanding. Several sources report that Ukrainian citizens of Hungarian ethnicity are being […]

In order to understand why, the nature of imperialism, and thus of all empires, needs first to be explained (especially because almost no one knows about this): Whereas a merely domestic dictatorship is no danger to other nations, an international dictatorship — or “empire” — is a danger to other nations, because every empire (i.e., each of the […]

Stupidity of “switch to electric” while killing power generation France24, Quartz, and the Wall Street Journal (paywall-free link) report that the EU abandoned its much-ballyhooed transition to electric cars, which was supposed to culminate with a total ban on gasoline cars in 2035.   The EU’s reversal allows “the sales of new cars with combustion engines that […]

Iran has pointed the finger at Israel after drone strikes rattled Isfahan. The strikes, which took place on Saturday, on a military facility, were limited causing only minor damage to the roof. Amir Saeid Iravani Tehran’s envoy to the UN, made the accusation in correspondence with senior officials at the organization, according to ISNA. In his […]

Spring is finally here, and it has been a very mild winter for Europe.  However, the month of March can be very unpredictable, and not only in terms of the weather. The National Endowment for Democracy, NED, CIA, is hard at work in Moldova and Georgia, and coming soon to Turkey, if it doesn’t just […]

In my recent article ‘Steve Bannon and China’s Deep State’, readers were introduced to several operatives who are serving as controlled opposition with the intention of corralling the conservative groups of the USA and Europe into a weaponized anti-Chinese mob. This study took us into the corridors of the power within forces of the black nobility […]

Something worse than anything seen even amidst the dark years of the Cold War has awoken, Matthew Ehret writes. It feels like today’s world is spinning quickly out of control. Fear of nuclear confrontation between Russia and NATO has increased to a fever pitch and something worse than anything seen even amidst the dark years […]

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday projected that the country’s gas demand would rise 500% due to the rapid pace of development, while its share of global oil demand would more than double. While the Indian prime minister did not offer a specific time frame for this major boost in demand, he said that […]

Since 2003, Iraq is required to send all its oil revenues to a single US bank account. Washington is now weaponizing Baghdad’s own dollars against Iraq, by devaluing its currency and hindering payments. In an effort to combat rampant corruption in Iraq, the US has implemented several strict measures, including sanctions on Iraqi banks and […]

A Delaware Superior Court Judge, Eric M. Davis, has ruled for Dominion election machines that Fox News reporting of evidence of election fraud in the last presidential election is false.  In other words, on his own authority Davis has negated the evidence.  Having disposed of the evidence by edict, he has given a go-ahead to Dominion’s law […]

“Reading all the 2016 warnings from the Normalcy Guardians and self-professed Democracy Protectors about how there’s literally nothing more corrupt or dangerous than craving the prosecution of your political opponent — especially for trivial crimes — is really quite something.” — Glenn Greenwald The New York Times enjoyed its long-delayed tantric Trumpgasm so much today […]

TEHRAN (Iran News) –Iran says the United Kingdom fumes over intelligence failure after a senior Iranian official, Alireza Akbari, was executed for spying for the British intelligence agency. “The UK is not sorry about Akbari’s execution.

It’s suspicious that the previously unpublished British Foreign Office report accusing Prime Minister Modi of being “directly responsible” for the 2002 Gujarat riots was highlighted by state-run BBC over two decades after it was written, shortly after the New York Times implied that externally exacerbating communal tensions will be the West’s Hybrid War means of […]

While Western journalists insist that Ukraine is “winning” the conflict, experienced military and analysts continue to point to the evident fact that Russia cannot be defeated so easily.

Amidst indignant reactions to ex-Chancellor Angela Merkel’s revelations about the Minsk accords, worry about Americans “advising” Ukrainians en situ, and the back-and-forth of battle lines, it’s easy to forget what the Ukraine War is all about: the struggle of the United States to maintain its status as the world’s only superpower. More exactly, America’s attempt to suppress China […]

The idea that History has an endpoint, as promoted by clueless neoconservatives in the unipolar 1990s, is flawed, as it is in an endless process of renewal. The recent official meeting between Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan al-Saud and Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian in Beijing marks a territory that was previously deemed unthinkable and which has […]

With the UK’s unconscionable decision to send Depleted Uranium ammunition to Ukraine, it’s perhaps useful to revisit the environmental and health consequences of the US’s widespread use of such weapons in Iraq and Kuwait during the first Gulf War. This short essay is adapted from my book, Been Brown So Long It Looked Like Green […]

Thousands of Indigenous and other Peruvians descended on the capital Lima on Wednesday to demand the resignation of unelected President Dina Boluarte, show support for imprisoned former leftist leader Pedro Castillo, and condemn government forces for killing dozens of protesters over the past six weeks.

Something’s Gotta Give Voices on all sides—U.S., Ukraine, Russia—assure us that a major break in the military situation in Ukraine is imminent. Even as the Russian forces (RF) advance steadily in the area of Bakhmut and Avdivka, the Ukraine army (UA) is said to be poised for a last-ditch major offensive, driving toward Crimea on […]

Can the Vice President under Obama, now President Biden, and his CIA director manipulate the political situation in Libya once again? William Burns, CIA director, arrived in Libya on January 12 and met with Libyan Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibe in Tripoli, and others. The meeting marked the highest-ranked U.S. official to visit Libya since […]

Weak leadership has lifted the lid on the European Pandora’s box, Alastair Crooke writes. Things are getting psychotic. As you listen to EU leaders, all parroting identical ‘good news’ speaking points, they nonetheless radiate basal disquietude – presumably a reflection of the psychic stress from, on the one hand, repeating ‘Ukraine is winning: Russia’s defeat […]

Lebanese Ambassador to Russia, Shawki Bou Nassar, announced on 30 March that Lebanon is set to receive fuel and wheat deliveries from Moscow “soon,” but that the date is still unclear due to logistical issues. “The delivery of grain and oil products will be soon, but it is not clear in which month … the […]

Kevin Bass, an MD/PhD student at a medical school in Texas, wrote a surprisingly direct opinion piece regarding the scientific community’s mistakes on the COVID reaction by the medical community and admits the posturing cost lives. More shocking, the globalists’ mouthpiece and propaganda weapon Newsweek published it. Bass says, “As a medical student and researcher, […]

The resulting erosion of collateral will collapse the global credit bubble, a repricing/reset that will bankrupt the global economy and financial system. Scrape away the complexity and every economic crisis and crash boils down to the precarious asymmetry between collateral and the debt secured by that collateral collapsing. It’s really that simple. In eras of easy credit, both creditworthy and marginal borrowers […]

Crossing into the country from Mexico with raw eggs is forbidden, no matter how expensive they get in California US Customs and Border Protection officials have warned Americans against trying to smuggle raw eggs or poultry over the border from Mexico, citing disease risk as skyrocketing supermarket prices drive normally law-abiding citizens to take extreme […]

[…]

The acronym began as a somewhat optimistic term to describe what were the world’s fastest-growing economies at the time. But now the BRICS nations—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—are setting themselves up as an alternative to existing international financial and political forums. “The founding myth of the emerging economies has faded,” Günther Maihold, deputy […]

Despite the massive earthquake that devasted parts of Syria and Turkey, the US and its allies continue their war against the Syrian government.  US troops still illegally occupy northeastern Syria since the war began on March 2011 to remove its President, Bashar al-Assad and destabilize the country to effectively balkanize the secular state on behalf of […]

It is prudent not to believe in conspiracy theories about our garbage ruling class because its members are generally too stupid to pull them off. After all, the only enduring success it has achieved has been failure. Those of us blessed with being kids in the 70s, 80s, or 90s got in at America’s peak, […]

Is a system working as well as possible? Inertia lulls people into believing that legacy products are great — even that they’re perfect — without objectively considering whether it’s really true. The QWERTY computer keyboard works, but the 1936 Dvorak version is superior. Skim milk makes you fatter. The U.S. may still be a shining […]

Peru’s President Pedro Castillo, a socialist of the “Peru Libre” (“Free Peru”) party, was elected in Peru’s general elections on 11 April 2021.

This year’s highly publicized annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) is receiving much criticism as the rest of the world looks on in horror at this grotesque display of globalism gone wild.

Protests across Germany against weapons supplies to the Kiev regime reveal an important and strategically significant point that should not sidelined by those who continue to hold Russia solely responsible. Scenes of close to 13,000 anti-war protestors gathering at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin as well as across Germany also symbolize an acute understanding that exists in […]

With the election of John Fetterman to the United States Senate, I almost fainted at the idiotic accomplishment of electing a man who couldn’t tell voters what he was for, nor what he was against, because he couldn’t talk or express himself at all. Then there’s the Chicago mayor, Lori Lightfoot, the biggest failure ever […]

Jim O’Neill, the former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. chief economist who coined the acronym BRIC, said the bloc of nations that later adopted the name should expand and work to counter the dollar’s dominance.

Among those attending this year’s World Economic Forum in Davos are Chrystia Freeland, (Deputy Prime Minister of Canada and avid supporter of the Ukrainian State) Ursula von der Leyen and of course the founder of the WEF Klaus Schwab who have in common that their fathers or grandfathers were leading Nazis. The basis of Nazism and fascism is corporatism […]

In a previous article, I discussed pending legal cases against Monsanto and the legal precedent that may be created if Monsanto were to succeed with a favorable ruling from the Atlanta-based 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in June. When this case is heard, Monsanto will certainly argue that the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) pre-empts […]

The head of Germany’s Evangelical Church Annette Kurschus has criticized Ukrainian officials who have dismissed calls for peace as “senile”.

In a quest to maintain its hegemony in a unipolar world, American foreign policy strategy has sought to weaken a Russia that it sees as an “acute threat” and to confront and contain a China that it sees as “the most comprehensive and serious challenge to U.S. national security.” The immediate challenge is Russia, the theory goes, […]

India is expected to refine the sanctioned crude and send it back to the bloc as diesel. India may purchase Russian oil to refine it into diesel and then sell it back to the EU as soon as sanctions take effect. India may substantially boost its exports of diesel fuel to the EU, refined from […]

Exactly seventy years ago, the Korean People’s Army crossed over from up there and set out “to invade”, or (as those in the North thought) to liberate, the southern part of Korea. The division into North and South was an entirely artificial one, a product of the geopolitical struggles between the United States and the […]

The politician pointed at Washington as the beneficiary of the Nord Stream pipeline sabotage The sabotage of the Nord Stream natural gas pipelines has turned Germany’s dependence on Russian natural gas into an addiction to liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the US, a member of the German Bundestag, Andrej Hunko, has said. Germany has paid […]

It is a pattern we see again and again: New political hopefuls are elected to office espousing progressive values and vowing to challenge the status quo in Washington, D.C. They are sent off with high hopes. But then, over time, the change they promise never materializes. Worse yet, the politicians themselves begin to change. They […]

In his 1819 opinion in McCulloch v. Maryland, US Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall famously stated what everyone already knew, “the power to tax is the power to destroy.” Americans also knew that the power to regulate imposes costs too, so it is akin to the power to tax. And they are now relearning […]

The US and the Philippines have reached a deal to boost Washington’s military presence in the country. Washington and the Philippines have announced plans to create four more American bases in the Southeast Asian nation.

Leading German scientist Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), believes that in order to save the planet from “climate change,” every person’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions must be capped and regulated by the government. This slave agenda is on full display. Calling the concept a “planetary guardrail,” Schellnhuber contends […]

India celebrated its 74th National Republic Day solemnly and grandly on January 26, 2023. The Indian Constitution was adopted on November 26, 1949, with Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar as chairman of the drafting committee. Since the Constitution came into force on January 26, 1950, to commemorate this event, India has celebrated Republic Day as a national […]

Satanism is rapidly expanding in the US, and it has gained a hold of the culture, in many aspects. In the music business and in Hollywood, Satanism is all the rage and a lot of mainstream artists don’t even disguise it anymore. Now, Satanic groups are starting to flex their judicial muscles to defend what […]

Credit Suisse, one of the fifty largest banks in the world, has joined the long list of Western banks over the past two decades that have been rescued from the brink of failure and subsequently acquired by a larger financial institution.

Sixty years ago, a crowd of us young people anxiously massed around a black-and-white TV in my college student union building. The US and the USSR were in an existential standoff. The US had deployed ballistic nuclear missiles in Turkey. When the Soviets responded by placing missiles in Cuba, the US demanded their removal or […]

Russia and China are shaping global politics while the US dominates its partners across the Atlantic, leaving European countries as mere passengers. Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping met in Moscow last week, and Western circles predictably responded by accusing Russia of becoming “subservient” or even a “vassal state” to China. MEP Guy Verhofstadt, a Euro-fantasist […]

We are yet to mull and muse as to how China has succeeded in bringing peace to the two countries which the USA has always tried to drive a wedge in between. After it agreed with Saudi Arabia in December 2022 to purchase its oil in Chinese yuan and not only in dollars any more, and while Russia has also […]

Amid allegations of drunken rampages across Kiev, Mozart Group co-founder Andy Milburn has disbanded his mercenary firm. Milburn is now lashing out at The Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal for exposing his intoxicated tirade against the Ukrainian soldiers he trained. One of the most prominent mercenary firms operating out of the United States has collapsed under its […]

The Washington Post, CBS News, the San Francisco Chronicle, and numerous other mainstream news outlets are abandoning “objectivity” in their news coverage because they say that accuracy and truth are symbols of “racism” that hearken back to the relic of “white newsrooms.” Former Post editor Leonard Downie Jr. and former CBS president Andrew Heyward have both participated in interviews in which they argued […]

Seventeenth-century French kings and their minions did not impose an accelerating burden of absolutism without provoking grave, deep, and continuing opposition. Indeed, there were repeated rebellions by groups of peasants and nobles in France from the 1630s to the 1670s. Generally, the focus of discontent and uprising was rising taxes, as well as the losses […]

The Mainstream Media, their government allies, and those two’s on-the-ground proxies have incessantly tried in vain over the past year to provoke large-scale protests in Russia along the lines of what France just experienced last week for the purpose of delegitimizing its government and distracting the security services with an artificially manufactured domestic crisis. The […]

The super-rich have always profited enormously from imperialism — and that means from invasions, coups, and other international regime-change operations. Right now, they are especially pumping for WW III (to conquer Russia and China, above all), or at least for increasing the likelihood that it will happen; and here’s how they do this — how […]

In the news in the western hemisphere today, the truth is like the Holy Grail. And like the cup of Christ, it too may be lost forever. Take any information about Russia or China, for instance. Reality is now shifted not only in the halls of power in Washington, London, and Brussels, but in journalism, […]

Among the wreckage the riots that have convulsed Paris may leave in their wake include President Emmanuel Macron’s pension reform; Macron’s ability to effectively govern for the next four years; and, quite possibly, the Fifth Republic itself. As The New York Times reported in March, protesters have been heard chanting, “Paris Rise Up…We decapitated Louis […]

The military conflict between Russia and Ukraine (as also Ukraine’s NATO allies) has brought some very interesting changes to the international political economy. Whereas this conflict has led Europe – working under immense pressure from the US – to stop its purchase of oil and gas from Russia, it has also allowed Russia to divert […]

The EU is facing destruction because its policies are totally subject to those of Washington, the Belarusian president has said. Europe can only survive as an independent force if it joins forces with Russia, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko declares. The world is currently witnessing “the destruction of Europe,” Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko told the national […]

The treatment received by judge Stuart Kyle Duncan at Stanford Law School has received enormous attention but this attention is entirely about the state of free expression at an elite law school. Almost nothing, however, about why his speech was disrupted. Let me suggest that the reasons behind student vehemence are just as significant as disruption itself. […]

Realizing NATO’s war with Russia will likely end unfavorably, the US is test-driving an exit offer. But why should Moscow take indirect proposals seriously, especially on the eve of its new military advance and while it is in the winning seat? Does US Secretary of State Antony Blinken think a Washington Post op-ed will move […]

Today, a vast array of citizens living in the Trans Atlantic community are being led to believe that the enemy of the free world who lurks behind every conspiracy to overthrow western governments and undermine “liberal values” is…China. While the left has been fed with four years of propaganda designed to convince them that the […]

Belém, Brazil – I inaugurate this new series of columns in a New Year and a new beginning for Brazil with the inauguration of President Lula da Silva. His well-wishers poured out across the country in a revival of hope for Brazil after four years of disastrous rule under his right-wing predecessor, Jair Bolsonaro, who […]

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said that from now on his “doors are closed” to the US Ambassador to Ankara, Jeffry Flake. The Turkish leader spoke of the “need to teach America a lesson” in diplomacy. While the US President Joe Biden’s ambassador was meeting with main opponent of the incumbent president, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, […]

Faced with the progress made by the advocates of a multipolar world, the defenders of the “American imperialist” have not been slow to react. Two operations will be analyzed here: the transformation of the European Common Market into a military structure and the reformation of the World War II Axis. This second aspect brings a […]

Foreword The second half of this essay replies to a commentator who has written: ‘Batiushka, let us know how to read your prophecies’. Here there is a fundamental misunderstanding. However, before we get to that, let us look at the big picture of geopolitical events, only after which the second half will become relevant. PART […]

Moscow has found buyers for all the oil exports targeted by a Western embargo, Nikolay Shulginov says. The country has found buyers for all of the supplies at risk of being stranded due to sanctions Moscow has completely redirected all of its oil exports from ‘unfriendly states’ to new markets, Energy Minister Nikolay Shulginov stated […]

Once upon a time the United States was known as a “Christian nation”, but now our country is moving away from those roots at a pace that is absolutely breathtaking.  I spend a lot of time writing about the ongoing collapse of our economic system, but the truth is that we are witnessing a collapse […]

Even as the shooting war rages in the Ukraine, the main show is in the United States There can be little doubt that we are at war, except it’s not quite like in the movies. This war is unlike any others about which we learned in school where two opposed forces meet in a battlefield […]

The purpose of this essay is not to convince the reader of the necessity for change. It is to present some commonsense policy changes to attempt to mitigate the economic harm that has been done to Western economies, especially to the United States and the United Kingdom, since the end of World War II. Please […]

So CIA boss William Burns made a secret trip to Kiev in January last year to warn Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky that his life was in danger from assassination. The clandestine meeting occurred only weeks before Russia launched its military operation in Ukraine. A new book that appears to have plenty of insider help from […]

Major Moves and Massive Maneuvers across the Global Geopolitical Chessboard Being Stealthily Manipulated by THE TRIAD “Make no mistake, most of the largest nations on Earth DO NOT want a World War III. Russia, China, India, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, South Africa and many other sane countries want no part in a global […]

The return of the Syrian governorate of Idlib to the government control is closer than ever, governor Tha’ir Salhab told Sputnik on January 19. A large swath of Idlib, including the governorate’s city center, as well as parts from the nearby northern Lattakia countryside, northwestern Hama countryside and western Aleppo countryside are currently occupied by […]

Have you heard of the “International Rules Based Order?” Russia, according to Washington and NATO, is violating those rules (China too) and must be punished. We can’t have “rule breakers” mucking up global tranquility can we? Since 1945, the United States has pursued its global interests by building and maintaining various alliances, economic institutions, security […]

Former US ambassador to Finland, Earle Mack has visited Ukraine several times, on humanitarian missions. He claims, in a March 29 piece for The Hill, that, during his last visit, he could see a lack of morale firsthand, in the voice of the leaders to whom he talked. More importantly, Mack states matter-of-factly that the […]

Both Republicans and Democrats agreed Washington was worse than inflation and immigration issues Americans believe the top problem facing the US is its government, a Gallup poll published on Monday revealed. Over a fifth (21%) of poll respondents named poor leadership as the most serious issue, outstripping even inflation, which fell to second place with […]

Introduction: The Story So Far So far the US has carried out regime changes and created military conflicts in countries friendly to or important to Russia: Iraq, Serbia, Afghanistan, Iraq (again), Georgia, Syria, Libya. All this was to make Russia lose important interests or deploy its own forces. It has also staged PR events such […]

On January 27, the International Holocaust Remembrance Day, a gunman shot ultra-Orthodox Jewish worshippers as they came out of the Ateret Avraham synagogue in the Neve Yaakov Jewish settlement in East Jerusalem. The gunman was 21-year-old Khairi Alkam a resident of East Jerusalem. He was later shot dead by Israeli police. The dead were five men, aged […]

On 3 February, Turkiye summoned the ambassadors of nine western nations, including the US and Sweden, to criticize their actions in issuing security alerts and temporarily closing their diplomatic missions in response to alleged security threats. Citing diplomatic sources, Anadolu News reported that diplomats from the Netherlands, Switzerland, the UK, Germany, Belgium, France, and Italy were also summoned. […]

The United States government has released the licensing agreement it hammered out with vaccine manufacturer Moderna and it’s highly concerning. The ruling class received $400 million in royalties for helping to “sell” the COVID-19 experimental gene therapy shots to the public. As of right now, the rulers have refused to confirm any payment details. According […]

Food inflation has reached its highest level on record, with the sector predicting no stall in price increases throughout the year.  Figures published in the British Retail Consortium’s (BRC) shop price index show food inflation rose to 13.8 percent in January, up from 13.3 percent in December. This rise has pushed it above the three-month […]

Ma Ying-jeou starts peacebuilding trip to China by promoting ethnic ties between Taipei and Beijing.

The US Air Force carried out a series of strikes against targets in Syria’s eastern province of Deir Ezzor Thursday night, acts of illegal aggression to defend Washington’s criminal occupation of the country in defiance of Syrian sovereignty and international law. According to the Pentagon, the bombing raids were ordered by US President Joe Biden […]

From developing new weapons and hiring war criminals to denying dissidents the right to teach, universities have a history of serving US imperial interests. Last October, a cabal of staff at the Pentagon-funded Plymouth University canceled me. Throughout history, most academics have been the witting or unwitting servants of power. Socrates was accused of failing […]

For two years now I’ve been calling for a “National Divorce.” I warned Democrats were crazed suicide bombers intent on destroying America, American exceptionalism, and the American Dream. I warned this was a communist takeover. I warned about the weaponization of the government. I warned about the end of free speech. I warned about where […]

Viktor Dubovitsky   The second conference on drinking water availability in half a century was held at the United Nations headquarters, with Tajikistan as the main initiator. In 2020, about two billion people still did not have access to “life-giving moisture” in their homes, and about a third did not even have basic hygiene products. […]

There will be no more Marshall Plans Exactly 75 years ago, the foundation stone of the transatlantic relationship was laid. After the Marshall Plan was signed into law by President Harry S. Truman, the US would go on to send billions of dollars in economic assistance to help rebuild Western Europe after the Second World […]

People are sick and tired of the ruling class’s overblown fear-mongering of COVID, so much so that no really pays attention to it anymore. But The World Health Organization (WHO) says the newest mild variant is “one to watch”. They’ve found a gold mine of control over the public and really don’t want it to […]

India is hopeful of a rupee trade with Russia, a trade ministry official said, as government data showed a near 400% jump in Russian merchandise imports from April-December compared with a year ago. India has been exploring a rupee trade settlement mechanism with Russia since soon after Moscow invaded Ukraine in February last year. The […]

The US government continues to escalate world war with Russia, while contributing to the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine. The Biden regime has sent over $100+ billion to Ukraine, including a variety of munitions and weapons, with plans to send tanks, jets, and other weapons, with no resolve. The US, going out of their way to “protect” […]

Developing economies in Asia are largely insulated from the fallout of the banking crisis in the West. Central banks in Asia have signaled an end to their quantitative tightening policies. Cheap Russian oil is fueling economic growth in Asia’s developing economies. The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank shook up the U.S. banking […]

I’ve grown increasingly frustrated about the way debate is controlled around the topic of origins of the alleged novel virus, SARS-CoV-2, and I have come to disbelieve it’s ever been in circulation, causing massive scale illness and death. Concerningly, almost no one will entertain this possibility, despite the fact that molecular biology is the easiest […]

Japan’s economy does not require a prophet or crystal ball to tell you what lies ahead in its very near future: that is, that Japan has become the ticking time bomb for the world economy. In case you haven’t been able to hear under all the media thunder of doomsday prophesying by so-called “experts” on China’s […]

On March 13th, the Pentagon rolled out its proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2024. The results were—or at least should have been—stunning, even by the standards of a department that’s used to getting what it wants when it wants it. The new Pentagon budget would come in at $842 billion. That’s the highest level requested since […]

One of Biden’s answers to combating higher gas prices has been to tap into America’s oil reserves. While I was never a fan of the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) program, it does have a place in our toolbox of weapons. We can use the reserve to keep the country running if outside oil supplies […]

France is in flames. Israel is erupting. America is facing a second January 6. In the Netherlands, however, the political establishment is reeling from an entirely different type of protest — one that, perhaps more than any other raging today, threatens to destabilise the global order. The victory of the Farmer-Citizen Movement (BBB) in the […]

Although Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong initially backed the West’s position on Ukraine, even going against every other member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) by imposing US-led sanctions on Russia, he is retracting on his initial position now. He recently said: “We are not hostile to Russia, for us Russia is not an […]

Following news that Brazil and China agreed to trade in their local currencies, it emerged that a French company charged the export of liquefied gas (LNG) to China National Offshore Oil Corporation in the Chinese yuan. This is another sign that the inexorable process of de-dollarization has gained momentum and even spread to the European […]

Who knew, only a few short years ago, that staring in our faces in 2023 would be the crisis posed by the title of this essential guide to the politics of our times: The Fall of the FBI: How a Once Great Agency Became a Threat to Democracy, by former 33-year veteran FBI Agent Thomas […]

My name is Bill Astore and I’m a card-carrying member of the military-industrial complex (MIC). Sure, I hung up my military uniform for the last time in 2005. Since 2007, I’ve been writing articles for TomDispatch focused largely on critiquing that same MIC and America’s permanent war economy. I’ve written against this country’s wasteful and unwise wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, its costly and disastrous weapons systems, and […]

Claudio Resta explores the increasing possibility of a violent Civil War in America Let me just give you a few on-the-spot personal reactions of mine about the news of the Grand Jury Indictment of former President Donald Trump. Clearly, this is the first time in US history that a former president who is campaigning for […]

Imagine the uproar if China or Russia—or any other country for that matter—said it aimed to exercise military control over land, sea, air, and space to protect its interests and investments. This amazingly has been the stated United States policy since 1997. Full spectrum dominance, as the doctrine is known, is the reason the United […]

After the US-led political West imposed the most comprehensive sanctions in recorded history in an attempt to destroy the Russian economy, the most sanctioned country on the planet was expected to be isolated, economically devastated, with no access to high technologies of any kind and, most preferably, with an extremely angry populace, potentially causing protests […]

The Los Angeles Times reports that “the audacious gamble by the U.S. government to…restore democracy” suffered a “spectacular failure” in Venezuela. What this State Department stenographer masquerading as a newspaper considers a “democratic” setback consisted of failing to impose unknown US security asset Juan Guaidó as Venezuela’s president. This man just got the boot from his own fractious opposition group, […]

South Korea and Japan trying to attend to their own business by inviting unbidden guests to the region should be well aware that they are getting closer to the extreme security crisis, far from defusing security uneasiness. It was reported that the secretary general of NATO embarked upon his trip to South Korea and Japan. […]

One of the most prominent intellectuals in the contemporary world was named to the list of the “Top 100 Global Thinkers” in Foreign Policy magazine in 2012.[1] He shares this distinction with the likes of Dick Cheney, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Benjamin Netanyahu, and former Mossad director Meir Dagan. The theorist’s best idea—according to this well-known publication that is […]

Washing machines, microwaves and other high-power appliances shouldn’t be used in the evening, Poland’s state power company said. Consumers should continue efforts to conserve energy ahead of next winter, according to the Germany’s national utilities regulator. Polish households should avoid using washing machines, heaters, and microwaves during peak hours, the Polish state energy company said. […]

For at least three decades Germany enjoyed an unprecedented period of energy security, one which made it possible for the Central European country to flourish, further dominating the old continent. It didn’t take long for this economic power to translate into political influence and help Berlin expand even further, particularly in Eastern Europe. And yet, […]

During a visit by the Chinese president to Russia, both countries deepened their “no limits” partnership. The visit comes at a time when the West and Russia are involved in a proxy war in Ukraine and when Washington has launched a Cold War against China. How dangerous is this ’friendship’ between Putin and Xi? No-limits […]

The head of the Russian private military company (PMC), Evgeny Prigozhin, has announced a milestone achievement in the battle for the city of Artryomovsk / Bakhmut, publishing a video taken in the centre of Bakhmut  front of the town’s administrative building on Sunday evening. “We hoisted the Russian flag with the inscription ‘Good memory to […]

While the prostituted propaganda media absurdly claims that Russia is retreating and NATO forces are winning the war in Ukraine, the truth is far more sobering: NATO has already lost the war with Russia. Here’s how we know: A land war with a major military power is a long, drawn out slug fest that requires the […]

The crowd at tonight’s Trump Rally in Waco, Texas was HUGE. This is the first rally since President Trump announced he was running for office in 2024 and only days after the corrupt Soros-backed DA in New York said that he was going to arrest President Trump on bogus charges. The Gateway Pundit shared exclusive video from […]

It’s no secret that globalist institutions are obsessed with Artificial Intelligence as some kind of technological prophecy. They treat it as if it is almost supernatural in its potential and often argue that every meaningful industrial and social innovation in the near future will owe its existence to AI. The World Economic Forum cites AI […]

Kiev’s neo-Nazi regime adds Zoran Milanovich’s name to Myrotvorets’ kill-list due to his anti-war, pro-peace position. Apparently, being in favor of peace in Europe is reason enough for the Ukrainian neo-Nazi regime to threaten the someone’s life. After criticizing the German Foreign Minister’s irresponsible pro-war remarks and emphasizing the importance of peace with Russia for […]

Over the years we have heard the Democrats say the Republican Party is most Hitler-like. While the Republicans say the Democrats are most Hitler-like. So who is right? Watch and find out.

Two major players are planning to launch a new settlement mechanism for non-dollar-denominated trade   The two biggest South American economies, Brazil and Argentina, have recently unveiled plans to create a common currency, sparking speculation about a new global monetary union.

Despite the disastrous consequences of the US invasion of Iraq twenty years ago, many of those responsible for that war – and their media and academic cheerleaders are back for more This year’s twentieth anniversary of the illegal Iraq invasion paradoxically coincided with major international events. Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Central Committee of […]

There are moment in time that change the world. Hitler’s invasion of the Soviet Union on 22 June 1941 was one of those. The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941 was another as was 9 November 1989, when the wall in Berlin, Germany, erected by the Soviets, was torn down. And you […]

The Russian media reported that President Vladimir Putin made an extraordinary gesture as President Xi Jinping left the Kremlin following the state dinner last week on Tuesday evening by escorting him to the limousine and seeing him off. And Xi during the goodbye handshake reportedly responded, “Together, we should push forward these changes that have […]

Even young children can sense that we live in an age in which literally none of the information available is reliable or believable. Information on a global scale is subject to Gresham’s Law: low-quality information spreads everywhere and the truth is hoarded by the few. What went wrong, and why? In a sense, the original […]

What the Warring Elites don’t want us to realize is that a system of transparent competition in which no fiefdom is allowed to become dominant best serves the interests of society at large. I’ve been writing about Warring Elites for a long time (since 2007). As I have often noted, historian Michael Grant identified profound political disunity in the […]

There are surely other worlds than this—other thoughts than the thoughts of the multitude—other speculations than the speculations of the sophist. —Edgar Allan Poe, “The Assignation” Nothing brings out misleading or false narratives like the subject of money. Prices over the last twenty-five months have shot up, and this development is roundly called inflation. Why? […]

My woman turned to me tonight, rapt in attention in the horrid blue light of the screen, and told me the New York Times real estate section was making her feel jealous, alienated, alone, and worthless. We were holed up in our apartment in the Catskills on another of those miserable spring-will-never-be-here nights of bitter […]

President Trump in a midnight social media post warned of potential ‘death and destruction’ if he is indicted. Trump said criminal charges against him could be catastrophic for the country. “What kind of person can charge another person, in this case a former President of the United States, who got more votes than any sitting […]

We are in a Jacobin Revolution of the sort that in 1793-94 nearly destroyed France. And things are getting scary. The Democratic Party vanished sometime in 2020. It was absorbed by hard-left ideologues. They were bent on radically altering, or hijacking, existing institutions to force radical, equality-of-result agendas that otherwise do not earn majority support. […]

As of now, the Pentagon consumes more than half of the federal government’s discretionary budget. That, in turn, means the funds needed to prevent pandemics, address climate change, and reduce poverty and inequality have taken a back seat On March 13th, the Pentagon rolled out its proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2024. The results were […]

First, Obama falsely portrayed Gaddafi as a monster; then, he lied about the need for harsh sanctions to punish him for crimes he never committed and, finally, he launched an illegal war under a pretext as phony as Lyndon Johnson’s Tonkin Gulf Resolution and George W. Bush’s Weapons of Mass Destruction. Once upon a time, […]

Opposition to Joe Biden’s proxy war to destroy Russia has entered the 2024 US Presidential election – from stage Right. And the growing anti-interventionist sentiment among grass roots conservatives and libertarians is alarming Establishment warhawks on both “left” and “right.” They are furious. Their anger boiled over when Tucker Carlson asked likely GOP presidential candidates […]

The market and the government will continue to promote and support a neofeudal status quo until they are forced by society to restore the common good and opportunity. Of the three primary dynamics of human endeavor–the market, government and society–we focus almost exclusively on the first two. Society is rarely considered as a force of its […]

In the current socio-political climate, it may well be that ideology is secondary to psychology, much of it abnormal. In plain view(and often placed on the pedestal) is so much lunacy with no relation to reality. At least when communism was a force in the 19th and 20th centuries, there were workers struggling in harsh […]

There is still the prospect for diplomacy and negotiation to resolve the war in Ukraine. But nothing about Biden or his administration suggests either the wisdom or restraint to take such a course.  In the summer of 1944, the Soviet Army destroyed Germany’s Army Group Center with a massive counteroffensive. The simultaneous invasion of France by […]

Back in 1959 Vice President Richard Nixon visited Moscow and held his famous “Kitchen debate” with Soviet leader Nikita Khruschev. Nixon favorably compared the standard of living of American suburbanites to that of their Russian counterparts under Communism. Criticizing Soviet society was a serious crime in those days, but I doubt that the Russians ever considered arresting […]

Romanian senator Diana Sosoaca suggests annexing “historic” Romanian lands that currently belong to Ukraine. A Romanian lawmaker has proposed annexing part of Ukraine’s territory “stolen by the USSR” A controversial bill submitted to the Romanian parliament this week urges the government to drop by its recognition of Ukraine’s borders the year 2027, and “annex” territories […]

My first thought when I saw the news flash that Donald Trump had been indicted was “Banana republic, here we come.”  After seeing the instant jubilation on the left, including in the media, my second thought was, “Banana republic, here we are.”  It’s a cliché to say we’ve crossed the Rubicon, but that doesn’t make it less […]

For the past two years, the Republic of Ireland has been a member of the UN Security Council. That’s right, Ireland – when millions of people still expect the word “Irish” to be followed by “terrorist” or “freedom fighter,” depending on their point of view, or someone else’s perception of their way of seeing things.

A top scientist is revealing the end game for the world’s left-wing, authoritarian globalist elite: To turn the entire planet into billions of slaves serving only them by destroying modern civilization under the false guise of controlling “climate change.” In a recently published paper, Dr. Wallace Manheimer, a renowned nuclear physicist, ripped the globalist left’s “Net Zero” […]

However the contemptible national political media of the United States try to disguise the fact, the Biden administration is a disaster. The following is adapted from an address that Lord Black gave at Ottawa on March 24, closing the Canada Strong and Free Networking Conference.

The West destroyed over a half-century of cooperation in the energy sector with no new affordable prospects in sight European energy costs are soaring, driving inflation to heights not seen in nearly 50 years and strangling EU consumers and businesses alike. Unprecedented sanctions placed on Russia, Europe’s premier provider of affordable energy, coupled with the […]

It would be wrong to view the restoration of relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran as something that happened suddenly. Since the Iranian Revolution of 1979, ties between the two important Muslim neighbours have been strained. For the Saudi elite the Revolution was not only anti-monarchical but also a boost to the Shia sect within […]

The Farmer-Citizen Movement, founded in 2019, is a coalition of farmers and working-class Dutch united in opposition to the insane climate-change agenda that would destroy their industry. They oppose onerous and unethical restrictions of the variety that crashed Sri Lanka’s economy last year, emissions limits, and other top-down pressures on independent farmers exerted by the multinational […]

Martin Luther King Day, just passed, is depressing because it reminds us of a thing that we—especially we of the Silent and Boomer cohorts—would rather not be reminded of. We remember the hopes of sixty years ago: the hopes that MLK allegedly represented. We remember hoping that if legal segregation was ended and unjust laws struck down, if black Americans were given the same access […]

During President Yoon Suk-yeol’s visit to the United Arab Emirates, a “diplomatic misunderstanding” (the wording of the ROK Foreign Ministry) occurred, which, according to Yoon’s political opponents, destroyed the sisterly relations between Tehran and Seoul. Since the days of Lee Myung-bak, South Korean special forces have been stationed in the UAE to train local troops. […]
