In 1970, three furious feminist tracts dominated the bestseller lists: Kate Millett’s “Sexual Politics,” Germaine Greer’s “The Female Eunuch,” and Shulamith Firestone’s “The Dialectic of Sex.” They, and others who comprised what was then called the “women’s lib” movement, fulminated against male dominance, endorsed sexual liberation and demanded that the nuclear family be smashed. Their […]

I laugh when during a citizen-police altercation, the citizen says, “You work for me. My taxes pay your salary.” Ha ha ha. By that logic, since your taxes help fund the MIC, you get a say in which country gets invaded, or doesn’t. Or politicians represent your interests because they draw their “official” salaries from […]

In the past year, the upper echelons within the Western oil and gas industry have been observing a shift in global energy markets toward China, Russia and India. Indeed, amid the deepening conflict and escalating uncertainties between Ukraine and Russia, we have witnessed Western sanctions against Russia, and China and India’s willingness to secure energy […]

Central European countries like Croatia, Hungary, and also recently Austria too are beginning to emerge as voices of reason in the West after their de facto New Cold War bloc’s proxy war on Russia through Ukraine over the past year failed to defeat that Great Power. They rightly realize how counterproductive this NATO-led campaign has […]

Last week saw a sharp increase in attacks on US troops occupying northeastern Syria, with a drone strike against a US base blamed on “pro-Iran” forces and a US counter-strike said to have killed at least 19 people. After the US retaliation, another strike by “pro-Iran” forces hit a number of US sites in Syria. […]

Details of the worst case scenario for an accident involving containers full of depleted uranium shells have been pulled from the National Archives by government censors. The risk assessment’s removal from public view will add to concerns about the safety of Britain sending such a controversial weapon to Ukraine. Depleted uranium (DU) is a chemically […]

To seize further control of people’s lives, Globalists are pushing the false idea that these cities will “save the planet” and help all of humanity. Fifteen-minute cities are popping up everywhere, and the World Economic Forum is wildly enthusiastic about them. Last year it was announced that Paris, France, would become a 15-minute city, and now […]

March 2023 marks 20 years since the White House announced the beginning of a full scale invasion of Iraq – a decision which had broad reverberations not only across the Middle East but globally. While the invasion was for several reasons considered controversial at the time, primarily due to its lack of legal pretext, Western […]

A long way has come since September 1995, when the first grains of depleted uranium ammunition from the bombed Repair Facility in Hadžići, at that time under the control of the Bosnian Serb Army, were brought from Sarajevo to the Military Technical Institute in Belgrade for possible toxicity analysis, until March 2023, when the quiet […]

Fores, a Russian chemical manufacturer, is offering bounties to soldiers for destroying M1 Abrams and Leopard 2 tanks in Ukraine. The news comes after Washington and Berlin approved the deliveries to Kiev last week. “Russian servicemen that destroy or capture a German Leopard 2 battle tank or an American Abrams will receive a monetary reward,” the company said […]

In 1993, American political scientist Samuel Huntington famously predicted that future wars would be between civilizations, not nations. Huntington forecast a substantial list of possible civilizational clashes. Thirty years later, it is clear that Huntington wasn’t entirely wrong. But in retrospect, his article The Clash of Civilizations was not really a forecast of coming conflicts between […]

The burden will ultimately fall on the backs of the firms and workers, the head of the European Central Bank warns. The euro area won’t be able to recover massive terms-of-trade losses incurred by rising energy prices, European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde said during a conference at Frankfurt’s Goethe University on Wednesday. According […]

The Poseidon weapons are among the latest additions to the country’s nuclear deterrence Russian shipbuilders have produced a full set of atomic Poseidon torpedoes, which will be carried by the nuclear mega-submarine Belgorod, a source close to the Defense Ministry told TASS. The new boat will be armed with the weapons “in the nearest future,” […]

  Nobody can give a precise dollar-number to U.S. ‘Defense’ spending because the U.S. ‘Defense’ Department has never been able to pass an audit, and is by far the most corrupt of all federal Departments (and is the ONLY Department that has never passed an audit), and also because much of America’s military spending is being paid out […]

On Friday, amid the US Fed’s H.4.1 report, it was noted an unprecedented surge in foreign official Repo ($60 billion) under the Fed’s new FIMA repo facility, which means that the offshore scramble for dollars was alive and well, and someone really needed access to USD. The assumption was that it was Credit Suisse (or UBS) […]

A shadowy Iraqi armed group has threatened to target United States military helicopters flying over the country with American-made FIM-92 Stinger man-portable air-defense systems (MANPADs) The group, known as the Islamic Resistance in Iraq – ‘Ashab al-Kahf, released early on April 1 a photo of a CH-47 Chinook military transport helicopter flying over an unspecified […]

Lionizing your own side and demonizing the enemy has been as important as battlefield victories Since the beginning of Russia’s military operation in Ukraine, Western spin-doctors have been busy. But despite the rapid technological progress that changed the world over the last decades, the principles of war propaganda remain the same. Thomas Hobbes, the 17th […]

The blue collar worker-led protests that erupted in Paris have shifted in tone from focusing solely on the pension fiasco to demanding that President Emmanuel Macron’s head be served to them on a platter. This is a figure of speech, of course – or is it? Some protesters did write something on the wall of a building in […]

Taipei has sent officers to a NATO war college in Italy. Taiwan’s Defense Ministry revealed on Wednesday that it has sent some of its military officers to a NATO war college in Italy, acknowledging cooperation with the Western military alliance that is sure to anger China. The disclosure by Taiwan’s defense ministry that its senior military […]

This organization has made deep inroads in the Congress, seeking to push its agenda and upend Washington-Beijing relations US lawmakers’ support for Taiwan’s bid to become independent from mainland China would be non-existent without powerful lobbying and influence groups. One such group is the Global Taiwan Institute in Washington, DC, which I wrote about before. Another […]

The U.S. Government, and its allies, frequently advocate for “a rules-based international order” (or, going even farther, they presume that “the rules-based international order” already exists) and they always avoid stating what its relationship would be (or supposedly is) to international law — the body of international laws that have been established under the authority of the United Nations […]

A fight broke out in the Serbian parliament as the government was caught between two opposition camps with clashing positions on Kosovo. President Vucic is caught between pro-NATO parties and nationalists accusing him of treason Several members of the Serbian parliament scuffled and almost came to blows on Thursday, amid a speech by President Aleksandar […]

Slowly, against their will, and against their natural inclination to watch football and eat pizza, Americans are awaking to the reality of a totalitarian system with its tentacles wrapped around every aspect of their existence. Sadly, the true nature of this tyranny still eludes the understanding of most citizens, in part because the process by […]

This idea is based on the distinguished journalist Irfan Hashmi’s suggestion to prevent the imminent civil war and loss of millions of lives in Pakistan, including lives of those in power now who are violating the country’s laws and subjecting Pakistan’s people to unprecedented cruelty. What is the fault of the country’s 80% population? They […]

It has been almost a year since the Russian army entered Ukraine to implement Security Council Resolution 2202. NATO, rejecting this reason, considers that Russia invaded Ukraine to annex it. In four oblasts, the referendums on joining the Russian Federation seem to confirm Nato’s interpretation, except that the history of Novorossia confirms Russia’s explanation. The […]

The venue of SXSW EDU 2023 was gargantuan, and the scheduled list of subjects and speakers was overwhelming.  Undoubtedly, the great attraction of this years’ conference were the “Superstar Siblings,” Doreen Nelson and her brother, the world renowned architect, Frank Gehry, the Keynote Speakers on March 7, introducing Doreen Nelson’s ”Design-based Learning Unwrapped: Build Our Future.” Doreen is the recipient […]

A war against the Soviet Union was wanted by the industrialists, bankers, large landowners and other members of Germany’s upper class, the “elite” of the land. That was one of the reasons, and arguably the paramount reason, why they had enabled the coming to power of Hitler, a politician of whom it was widely known […]

So, Credit Suisse is no more. Good riddance? I think this is an open question given the very complicated landscape of the global banking system today. By the time I’m done here I think you’ll have an answer that no one, including me, was expecting. There’s a lot to cover, so let’s start at the […]

Operatives working within the United Kingdom’s “information warfare” military brigade participated in a sinister spying operation against critics of covid tyranny, we now know.

Davos annual meeting comes across as rather outdated and obsolete with its now heavily tarnished global image all the more so. While geopolitics is threatening to deal a heavy blow and most probably demolish the world created in the cauldrons of Davos, as has the Financial Times voiced their concerns, and surely not without a […]

Poland is currently in a difficult economic and political situation. The grip in which the country has been squeezed by the actions of the ruling Law and Justice Party (PiS) is pressing Poles from all sides. Inflation is breaking all records, the prices of food, fuel, energy and heating defy any logic, and yet all the additional […]

“History isn’t what happened, but the stories of what happened and the lessons these stories include. The very selection of which histories to teach in a society shapes our view of how what is came to be and, in turn, what we understand as possible. This choice of which history to teach can never be […]

The ultrarich are prepping for doomsday right now. France is on fire. The U.S. ruling elite and the mainstream media they own are avoiding reporting on it. The American rich want to exploit the workers more and more, and facing the wrath of the “common man and woman” is their greatest fear. So they have […]

There is an interesting correlation in New Zealand between banning Semi-Automatic Weapons, its Covid-19 lockdowns and now censorship of a popular news magazine called ‘New Dawn’ which seems like old times.  In other words, New Zealand has become a Nazi-inspired police state that took place before and during World War II that would have made […]

If we told you 20 million people had died across just the ‘FIve Eyes’ & 26 countries across Europe over the past two years resulting in the most excess deaths seen in half a decade wouldn’t you at least be a little bit curious to find out why? You might be quick to blame Covid-19, […]

If mass psychosis entails a detachment from reality, then Westerners in particular are suffering from mass-psychosis on myriad issues. Now more than ever. In terms of government policies this manufactured illness is well-planned and deliberate. The media, in lockstep with the government, is owned and controlled by media cartels (1). Acceptable political dissent remains framed, for […]

The Kingdom has approved “partner” status in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.

On March 18, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz visited Tokyo and promised Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida that their countries would strengthen military cooperation, even by sending German ships and planes to the Pacific region.

Former United Kingdom Defense Minister Sir Gerald Howarth seems to think that the “domino theory” that tricked Americans into supporting the Vietnam war will work again. He’s trying to use the same tactics to manipulate the public into supporting “ground troops” in Ukraine. The domino theory was a Cold War policy that suggested a communist government […]

Ahead of the 21st anniversary of the opening of the Guantánamo Bay detention center, where the United States has detained nearly 780 Muslim men without charge or trial over the years, Erika Guevara-Rosas, Amnesty International’s Americas director, said: “It’s tragic that 21 years after the opening of an offshore detention facility specifically designed to evade […]

Back in 1992, which was almost immediately AFTER the Soviet Union and its communism and its Warsaw Pact military alliance all had ended and the word from “on high” in the U.S.-and-allied sphere had not yet come down to the BBC’s management that the Cold War would now continue in order to defeat Russia itself, the BBC […]

The fully discredited Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently approved an endless covid booster program that will continue to weaken and cripple the population, year after year. With dozens of new boosters on the horizon, the FDA can no longer pretend that the covid jab is an immunization that is “saving millions of lives.” Like the flu […]

Ursula von der Leyen, the European Commission president, has some disturbing skeletons in her family wardrobe. Her political roots in Nazi Germany account for the insane war-driven agenda of the European Union toward Russia under her stewardship and her total subservience to the U.S. imperialist objective to defeat Moscow. Author Evan Reif explains how her […]

Billionaire financier George Soros is a huge beneficiary of capitalism but for some reason he has been attempting to destroy the country that founded the successful economic concept — America.

What hegemon USA created, Russia is systematically annihilating.  And there’s nothing that the empire of lies and its Western vassals can do to change the course of history. In challenging Russia militarily, they bit off more than they can chew and swallow. Russia is a preeminent military power, China heading in the same direction — […]

Conservative MP Tobias Ellwood claims the construction of an arms factory in Poland to produce NATO-standard ammunition would be a more sustainable way of supply the Ukrainian war effort… The construction of a major arms factory in Poland would transform procurement for Ukraine’s forces and could be necessary to make the Ukrainian war effort more sustainable and less […]

Throughout the violent, war-torn 20th century, Switzerland managed to avoid destruction while most of the rest of Europe burned because the Swiss maintained an official position of neutrality, but those days may be coming to an end.

Graeme MacQueen’s work is a testament to a man devoted to the search for truth and the freedom and peace that ensue from its discovery. I think it is surely not an accident that he is a Buddhist scholar and a former professor of religious and peace studies. In this regard, he reminds me of […]

UK’s leading establishment figures are gung-ho promoting World War III. What’s behind the agenda? Last October I published an article titled “Britain’s secret diplomacy and European wars,” exploring the role of Britain in bringing about both of last century’s World Wars and contributing to the current escalation in Ukraine. To be sure, we are not talking […]

Some of the countries the Western media claims are horrific repressive dictatorships are way happier than the U.S. So let me ask: Are you happy? Do you spend a lot of time laughing in the sun? Do you feel at peace in your life? If you live in the U.S., like me, then I’ll bet […]

In 2007 under Bush the younger, Congress passed the Renewable Fuels Standard that was designed to save the world. It has only resulted in the further impoverishment and starvation for the working classes across the globe. The grain prices actually doubled overnight in reaction to this boondoggle. The real winners were of course the multi-national […]

When Michel Aoun left office as president of Lebanon last October, many politicians assumed that finding a successor would be relatively easy, not least because none of the main political parties were interested in blocking the election of a new president. Four months later, however, no compromise solution has been found, and many wonder when […]

Here’s how the media manipulated Princess Victoria Alliata’s speech in Moscow There are wars that are fought with weapons, there are wars that are fought with weapons and the media.

The dominoes will fall. Have no doubt whatsoever, Silicon Valley, Signature, and Silvergate banks are just the first three banks in a long, long line of banks that will not just need bailing out, but will completely collapse in the coming days, weeks, and months of 2023 and on into 2024. This is a mass […]

The edifice of American imperial power has never been challenged at its foundation. It is now.

Apparently, the most realistic wing of the American armed forces is beginning to distrust its own combat capacity in the face of the bellicose plans of their government.

It is an open question as to why Putin and the Russian government tolerated the 2014 coup which was blatantly funded and organized by internal and external actors followed by the war in the Donbass. The coup was bought and paid for by the usual suspects – The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) the ubiquitous […]

  Very few Americans are aware of the truth behind the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Few books have been written about it, unlike other significant assassinations, especially JFK’s.

A massive police raid foiled extremist plans to topple Germany’s government. But the timing of the plot and its sheer absurdity raised questions about state security’s role in instigating it – as it has done many times in the past. On the morning of December 7th, 2022, Germany’s security services conducted the largest police raid […]

It’s certainly risky and not to be contemplated rashly. But what is the alternative? The United States-led military bloc is a party to the conflict in Ukraine against Russia. In short, NATO is at war with Russia. So, why is Russia limiting its military targets to Ukrainian territory? Moscow has said repeatedly that the proxy […]

The New Development Bank (NDB), formerly known as the BRICS Development Bank, is keen to invest in Bangladesh’s public and private sectors that have been growing impressively for years, its Director General for the Indian regional office D J Pandian said in an interview with The Business Standard in Dhaka recently. “We have already started […]

Years ago, when I sat on the Board of the American Psychiatric Association as a psychiatrist-in-training, the word ‘biopsychosocial’ was used frequently to describe the range to which the profession of psychiatry aspired in its categorization of and treatment approaches to mental illness. It was meant, in other words, to encompass everything: every aspect of human thought, […]

This was inevitable. When the US started to strategically withdraw from the Middle East and shifted its focus towards Southeast Asia and (Eastern) Europe to contain its two rivals (China and Russia), the Middle East was left without a traditional balancer. Without making an orientalist argument and arguing that the Middle East always needed an […]

Last week, China and Brazil reached an agreement to settle trades in one anothers’ currencies. Over the past 15 years, China has replaced the United States as the main trading partner of resource-rich Brazil, and as such that shift may have been inevitable.

In February, the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) published an extensive investigation into the spectacular collapse of the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces’ (ANDSF), which the U.S. spent two decades and $90 billion building.

Writing on the traditionally neocon-friendly Claremont Institute, Christopher Caldwell (Summer, 2022) describes the unintended consequences of the Ukraine war—consequences that are indeed playing out now.

Ukrainian diplomats had been negotiating an “association agreement” with the European Union that […]

Depending on what political echo chamber you’ve been viewing it from, the ongoing release of information about the inner workings of pre-Musk Twitter known as “the Twitter Files” might look like the bombshell news story of the century, or it might look like a complete nothingburger whose importance is being wildly exaggerated by the far […]

A recent talk in Paris by Israeli Minister of Finance Bezalel Smotrich raised eyebrows when he claimed that there are no Palestinian people. In fact, he said that he himself was a real Palestinian, which is a funny thing to say given that his surname, Smotrich, is the name of a town in Ukraine. Golda […]

“Already past the point of no return”: JPMorgan says on impending US recession. Although Western media were boasting about Sberbank’s 78% plunge in profit in 2022 due to US-led sanctions, with CEO German Gref acknowledging a “most difficult year”, it appears that the US economic system is the one actually on the brink as four […]

Right now, many of us vets are looking back on our years of service and wondering what the hell we did it all for. We used to know – for the USA. Yet you look at the disaster that is our country, our culture, and our beloved military, and you just want to go find […]

In this article I explain why I think nuclear war is in the cards. I know that most do not want to hear this. But if no one knows, there is even less chance of preventing it. The headline yesterday (March 29) is “US To Withhold Nuclear Weapons Data From Russia As Last Treaty Collapses.” https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/us-withhold-nuclear-weapons-data-russia-last-treaty-collapses […]

A study by Allianz Trade found that German industry will pay 40% more for energy in 2023 than in 2021 due to the energy crisis caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.  The pass-throughs are ending, leading to a decrease in investment by 1-1.5% and lower profits across Europe.  Although there are fears of de-industrialization, the […]

The US is facing major moves by the global community to de-dollarize their economies.  The reserve status of the US dollar will eventually come to an end, maybe not anytime soon, but sometime in the future as it is facing numerous challenges not only from major powers such as Russia and China who are actively […]

Nazism is a form of imperialism. In my decades-long study of billionaires and of imperialism, I’ve never yet come across a billionaire anywhere who has been anti-imperialist. Some are conservative, and some are liberal, but all of them have been pro-imperialist. Britain’s Guardian newspaper, which used to be progressive (something that no billionaire actually is), got taken over […]

U.S. and NATO officials routinely contend that assisting Ukraine in its war against Russia is a moral as well as a strategic imperative. Ukraine is supposedly on the frontlines of a global struggle between democracy and freedom on one side and brutal authoritarianism on the other. That justification lacks credibility for two reasons. First, Ukraine […]

December 10, as is well known, is observed around the world as Human Rights Day, designated as such by the UN. But one of the features of the modern world, thanks to the “efforts” of the West, is the discrepancy between phrases and their true meaning: Freedom, democracy, human rights, and so on. Today the West, […]

If the fraudulent 2020 elections have taught us anything, it’s that if you want to find what a country’s elites are most threatened by, look for what they are trying to suppress. A four-part FOX News report from December 2001 recently resurfaced on YouTube, garnering millions of views. And then, suddenly, it was purged. You can still […]

Superpowers are scrambling to control ‘mineral of the future’ supply chains Lithium is the essential mineral for renewable energy resources, and is gearing up to become to the 21 century what coal was to the previous two centuries. The mineral is the key material in producing lithium-ion batteries, which power everything from mobile phones to […]

Moscow and Kampala have had excellent bilateral relations dating back to the Soviet period, Yoweri Museveni has said  Uganda values its military ties with Russia, the president of the East African country, Yoweri Museveni, told the Russian news outlet TASS in an interview published on Saturday. He also commended the Soviet Union for its assistance […]

Japan will retain its stake in Russia’s Far Eastern offshore project to ensure its energy security, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has said. Tokyo wants to keep its investment in Sakhalin oil and gas projects to ensure its energy security, Fumio Kishida has said. Japanese companies will continue to participate in Russian energy projects on Sakhalin […]

The widespread and unprecedented initiation of mechanical ventilation early in the hospital course of Covid patients caused great harm. I am proud that I was able to block the practice at UW. Of all the Covid “rabbit holes” I have gone down, each one then led to me entering an often public “science battle,” only some […]

As the war in Ukraine drags on into its second year, protest demonstrations have been taking place in major European cities. They express the growing sentiment that the people are tired of the protracted conflict and fearful of what could come should the war continue even longer. Memories of the catastrophic world wars that ravaged […]

Tsai Ing-wen is hastening the demise of her dream of independence from China Taiwan leader Tsai Ing-wen departed on Wednesday for a trip to Guatemala and Belize, which is also bookended by US stops in New York and Los Angeles. This comes at a time when another Central American nation, Honduras, has just established diplomatic ties […]

What makes the RAND Corporation’s latest report on Ukraine so significant, is not the quality of the analysis, but the fact that the nation’s most prestigious national security think-tank has taken an opposite position on the war than the Washington political class and their globalist allies. This is a very big deal. Keep in mind, wars don’t end […]

Delegates to the Havana Congress on the New International Economic Order—a gathering organized by the Progressive International and attended by more than 50 scholars and policymakers from 26 countries across all six inhabited continents—agreed over the weekend on a declaration that outlines a “common vision” for building an egalitarian and sustainable society out of the […]

VT’s Mark Dankof Responds to Brian Lilley of the Toronto Sun on his Broadside of the Washington Capitals NHL Legend and President Vladimir Putin of Russia. I noted your column today in the Toronto Sun entitled, “Ovechkin shouldn’t be welcomed into Canada, let’s hope Toronto shuns him:  His athletic skills are amazing, but his support […]

The takeaway is that the resource aspect of the US’ anti-Russian sanctions is a charade since the very same country that unilaterally imposed these restrictions is defying their spirit upon exploiting a legal loophole to purchase refined Russian oil products from India. Popular Indian media outlet TheWire reported on an article over the weekend from Telegraph India alleging that […]

The “discovery” that Joe Biden had multiple stashes of highly classified documents begs a few salient questions that nobody, to the best of my knowledge, has answered — When were they discovered? Who discovered them? And why is this information being leaked now? It was not the White House coming forward with a mea culpa. […]

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 […]

On 30 January, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned Washington that it would pay a price if it refused to sell the F-35 fighter jets to Turkiye. “Regarding the F-16s, we want these from you, but you haven’t given them, and you didn’t keep your word. Originally you were going to supply F-35s, but you […]

The arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court against Vladimir Putin can only be seen as a publicity stunt by the Anglo-Saxon clique, with the US leading from the rear. Ironically, though, the ICC acted on the eve of the 20th anniversary of the Anglo-Saxon invasion of Iraq in 2003, which led to horrific war crimes […]

The new capitalists were supposed to be different. Unlike those corrupt titans of Wall Street or the money-grubbing oil men, the 21st-century tech gurus were meant to be a more ‘enlightened’ class of entrepreneur. They were going to transform our world, with their dazzling technology and their superior social values. Last week’s collapse of the […]

The western world is solemnly commemorating the 20th anniversary of the Iraq invasion by blindly following the US into more conflict and militarism while repeating all the same kinds of mass media malpractice. ❖ If you think it’s a coincidence that the western world suddenly got super–duper interested in China’s human rights record right when China began […]

  Introduction The scale and complexity of the 2020-2023 Global Economic and Social Crisis far surpasses all previous “depressions” including the 2007-2009 Recession which was categorized as the most serious economic meltdown since the Great Depression of 1929. We are currently at the crossroads of the Most Serious Economic and Social Crisis in World History.  It is an outright war against all humanity: […]

The China-mediated Saudi-Iran peace agreement, inked on 10 March in Beijing, marks a significant geopolitical shift with far-reaching implications for the Persian Gulf and Iran’s neighboring countries. For decades, Saudi Arabia and Iran have been engaged in ideological and economic competition on the territories of their neighbors, causing regional tensions to escalate. If the agreement […]

Writing this, I must admit that my rage and pain build up inside, still twenty years later. Below, see what TFF and I wrote back then and why we were, simply put, making better predictions on a shoestring budget than the US and other NATO decision-makers on multi-billion-dollar budgets. Like other wars and interventions, this […]

Britain has deployed its armed forces for combat over 80 times in 47 countries since the end of the Second World War, in episodes ranging from brutal colonial wars and covert operations to efforts to prop up favoured governments or to deter civil unrest The British military has used or threatened to use military force […]

More than a decade and a half after the US-led NATO’s war of aggression against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SRJ) in violation of international law using highly toxic and radioactive uranium shells, the enormity of this war crime is becoming clear. In Serbia, aggressive cancer among young and old has reached epidemic proportions in […]

Few Americans understand that their society has been revolutionized. America is no longer what it was. Wherever you look everything has been overthrown. I will illustrate it with three articles from the City Journal, published by the Manhattan Institute. Two are by Heather Mac Donald and one is by John O. McGinnis. Heather Mac Donald explains […]

The curtain is coming down on the brutal 11-year old Syrian conflict, which former US President and Nobel Laureate Barack Obama initiated, as the Arab Spring swept through West Asia two decades ago. The United States has suffered yet another big setback in West Asia as the year 2022 draws to a close. The unfolding […]

Alessandro Fanetti A few days ago I happened to review the cartoon “Asterix and the Kingdom of the Gods”, based on the immortal writings and drawings of René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo. The similarities with what we have experienced (and are experiencing) from the birth of the “unipolar moment” onwards are perfect and, in their […]

Chinese ruler Xi Jinping says he si preparing China for a war. At the annual meeting of China’s parliament and its top political advisory body, Xi made the theme one of “war readiness” through four separate speeches. In one of those speeches, he rallied his troops and told his generals to “dare to fight.” According […]

We are currently at the crossroads of the Most Serious Economic and Social Crisis in World History.  It is an outright war against all humanity: the Planet’s 8 billion people.  The current global crisis (2020-2023) –which is ongoing– has literally disrupted and destroyed people’s lives Worldwide in the course of the last three years. The scale and complexity of […]

Social media is brimming with reports of missing food items at Kroger supermarket locations across the country. A repeat of early 2020 when toilet paper and other essentials ran bare, the start of 2023 is seeing “a lot of empty shelves” at Kroger, according to numerous reports, some containing video evidence of lingering supply chain problems. […]

The decline of Rome was the natural and inevitable effect of immoderate greatness. Prosperity ripened the principle of decay; the cause of the destruction multiplied with the extent of conquest….Instead of enquiring why the Roman Empire was destroyed, we should rather be surprised that it had subsisted for so long. History of the Decline and Fall of […]

Sweden and Finland have jointly and together been seeking membership in NATO, but Turkiye is blocking Sweden’s bid unless and until Sweden will comply with Turkiye’s own national-security demands. Russia would be severely endangered if Finland joins NATO — much more than if Sweden does — but it’s a joint bid, and Finland has said they won’t […]

A Moscow-based IT company has presented SistemmaGPT, a competitor to OpenAI’s chatbot. The new AI tool is geared towards business and government projects, Sistemma has said Moscow-based company Sistemma has created its own competitor to OpenAI’s ChatGPT, which runs entirely on domestic servers and in the Russian language. The project was unveiled on Sunday on […]

Mention the term “deep state” in polite company and most likely no one will want to speak to you the rest of the evening. The deep state is what Wikipedia calls “discredited,” something reeking of conspiracies, false accusations, and the substitution of fantasy for the truth. After the FBI raided Donald Trump’s home in Florida, […]

While European officials and individual members of the European political elite try, to the detriment of ordinary Europeans, to develop a mechanism that would allow EU members to block even Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG) supplies without imposing additional sanctions, Europe’s deepening gas and economic crisis has already begun to shift the balance of power. […]

During a COVID-19 EU hearing last October, Pfizer’s President of International Developed Markets, Janine Small, admitted that the vaccine had never been tested on its ability to prevent transmission, contrary to what was previously advertised. During the hearing, when asked by Dutch politician Ross if the Pfizer COVID vaccine tested on stopping the transmission of the […]

Real “mea culpa”, ongoing and rapid revision of history, or further narrative management with regard ‘amnesty’ over what “the others” did to those who thought for themselves over the last few years… You decide… In no less a liberal rag than Newsweek, Kevin Bass (MS MD/PHD Student, Medical School) has penned a quite surprising (and ‘brave’) op-ed saying […]

It is “terminal” because the controlling power, the U.S. regime, now spends approximately half of the entire world’s military costs and hides much of that by paying it out from federal Departments other than the official ‘Defense’ Department so as to (in comparison with other nations’ military expenditures) be spending ‘only’ around 37% of the entire […]

Part 1. A Brief History of Chaos: from Ancient Greece to the Postmodern The Chaos factor in the Special Military Operation The most thoughtful observers of the Ukrainian front note the peculiar nature of this war: the chaos factor has increased enormously. This applies to all sides of the Special Military Operation, both to the […]

After imposing an unpopular pension reform, Emmanuel Macron is in serious trouble. Governments make occasional faux-pas and get into trouble. But this time round, the French president has put himself in a very bad situation. The nation is deeply scarred, and the wounds will not heal easily. Why should raising the retirement age from 62 to […]

I am afraid the answer is a resounding, “No!” I hope and pray that I am wrong on this point, but I see no evidence that such a shift in opinion towards Putin and all things Russian is in the offing. The United States and Soviet troops shook hands over the waters of the Elbe […]

In the West, there is almost nothing left of the classic division of political parties and movements into left-wing and right-wing ones. If we were to judge the political life of the countries of the collective West solely on the basis of the concrete activities of political parties that alternate for decades on the stage […]

Japan’s actions in a certain period of the past not only claimed numerous victims here in Japan but also left the peoples of neighboring Asia and elsewhere with scars that are painful even today. I am thus taking this opportunity to state my belief, based on my profound remorse for these acts of aggression, colonial […]

Over the past year, German security researcher […]

Days ago marked 50 years since the signing of the Paris Peace Accords which effectively ended American participation in the Vietnam war. One of the consequences, according to Georgetown University international affairs scholar Charles Kupchan, was that an “isolationist impulse” made a “significant comeback in response to the Vietnam War, which severely strained the liberal […]

A virtually unregulated investment firm today exercises more political and financial influence than the Federal Reserve and most governments on this planet. The firm, BlackRock Inc., the world’s largest asset manager, invests a staggering $9 trillion in client funds worldwide, a sum more than double the annual GDP of the Federal Republic of Germany. This […]

There’s a fault line permeating America’s criminal justice system—a built-in defect that the government can use to steal your property, even if you’re innocent. And many Americans don’t even know about it. Hardworking sisters Vera and Apollonia Ward didn’t either, until it happened to them. A California county government used a civil asset forfeiture law […]

Does cheap money and credit make us richer? Does more money and credit create more stuff, or better stuff? Do they make us happier and more productive? Or do these twin forces actually distort the economy, misallocate resources, and degrade us as people? These are fundamental questions in an age of monetary hedonism. It is […]

The resignation of Vietnam’s President Nguyen Xuan Phuc a fortnight ago had an inevitability about it. The media was rife with speculation for weeks implicating Phuc’s close family members in corruption scandals. Several dozen officials, including two deputy prime ministers, were earlier removed from their positions in major scandals of price fixing and kickbacks for Covid-19 […]

The latest media gimmick – tanks – will only place NATO on a higher elevation to fall from, that is of course if the tanks themselves even arrive in Ukraine and are not sold on the black market The latest media gimmick – tanks – will only place NATO on a higher elevation to fall […]

The West is too dysfunctional and weak now to fight on all fronts. Yet there can be no retreat without some de-legitimising humiliation of the West. Just occasionally, a window is opened onto the truth of how the ‘system’ works. Momentarily, it stands naked in its degeneracy. We avert our eyes, yet, it is a […]

Divide and rule is the eternal law of Empire.  Above all, don’t let other big guys get together. Keep them at each other’s throats.  Half a century ago, stuck in the unwinnable Vietnam war, President Richard M. Nixon heeded Henry Kissinger’s advice to open relations with Beijing in order to deepen the split between the […]

52 Iranian and 106 Russian banks integrated their interbank communication and transfer systems for trade and financial operations A top Iranian official announced on 30 January that Iran and Russia had integrated their interbank communication and transfer systems to help enhance trade and financial operations in an effort to bypass strict economic sanctions on their […]

A new year dawns bright, with the US hurtling over the fiscal cliff. The lame duck Congress voted for a pork-packed $1.7 trillion budget bill. As the saying goes, it’s only money! At a time of enormous domestic need, Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell pushed an extra $45 billion for Ukraine, declaring that Washington’s “number […]

What sounds like overeach in itself, is actually a cover for something potentially far, far worse. The Biden administration is apparently looking to ban gas stoves, calling them a “hidden danger”. But while that sounds bad enough, a deeper dive shows – as usual – it’s not really about what they say it’s about. Talk […]

For all of the speculation about Brunson v Adams, we knew the Supreme Court would never take the case. Didn’t we? There is no end to the humiliation and degradation of those who believe we still live in a constitutional republic. We do not. The sooner folks understand that the United States of America of […]

Expectations should be tempered with respect to what CELAC will achieve in the coming future, but nobody should think that it won’t achieve anything at all either. Venezuelan President Maduro proposed during his yearly speech to parliament last week “to unite efforts and paths in Latin America and the Caribbean to advance in the formation of a […]

US mission creep in Ukraine follows in the fatal footsteps of ultimately failed war campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq. Estimates have put Ukrainian casualties at over 100,000.  Since the failures of the US military missions in places like Afghanistan and Iraq – and many other Muslim nations like Libya – critics of the US mission […]

Russia is unlikely to take the bait: It has the real strategic advantage in all areas of engagement with the Ukrainian forces. There is too much ‘noise’ in the system, and it is obscuring the view. Davos has always been ‘weird’. But this year, the kookier aspects were so obvious. The WEF is dying on […]

Introduction After the catastrophic attacks of September 11 2001 monumental sorrow and a feeling of desperate and understandable anger began to permeate the American psyche. A few people at that time attempted to promote a balanced perspective by pointing out that the United States had also been responsible for causing those same feelings in people […]

Is Southern Nationalism the same thing as White Nationalism? The short answer is yes and no. This vexing topic is rarely if ever addressed, and the Southern cause is consequently reduced to a myopic, quaint subsidiary of a larger quest for a White ethnostate. Many racially conscious young Southrons, most of whom embrace their Southern identity, […]

Fossil fuel giant Exxon Mobil announced record-smashing profits today, further underscoring the need for officials in Washington to rein in Big Oil’s runaway enrichment at the expense of consumers struggling with high energy bills. Exxon posted $57 billion in earnings for the full year 2022, breaking its 2008 record and setting a new high for […]

With organizers saying it’s entirely within the power of the United Kingdom’s Conservative government to ensure public sector employees are paid fairly, roughly half a million workers walked out on Wednesday in the country’s largest coordinated strike in more than a decade. About 300,000 of the striking employees are educators, and they were joined by civil […]

If it seems to you like everything is breaking loose all at once, it isn’t just your imagination.  At the beginning of January, I warned that the overall theme of this year would be “here we go”, and global events have certainly been accelerating in recent weeks. At this moment, we are in the midst of […]

All international political alliances (particularly military-political ones) are formed on the basis of shared interests and threats to two or more international relations subjects. In other words, there is something that unites and something against which the alliance is formed. NATO’s formation in 1949, led by the United States, signaled the beginning of a new […]

The Indonesian central bank has unveiled plans to introduce a domestic payment system, seeking to cut reliance on the West. Jakarta wants to reduce its dependence on foreign payment systems, citing sanctions on Russia. The Bank of Indonesia is preparing to phase out Visa and Mastercard while introducing its own domestic payment system, Antara news […]

Now, it is abundantly clear that the United States’ dishonest and aggressive Middle East strategy, which is at odds with the aspirations of the Arab world, has utterly failed. The establishment of a multipolar world by Russia, China, and Iran was a significant milestone in this process. The convergence of these three nations and the […]

President Kennedy had a unique ability that Pentagon generals did not have. He was able to analyze an international crisis by placing himself in the shoes of his adversary in an attempt to understand his adversary’s motives. Doing that enabled him to figure a way out of the crisis that did not involve war. The […]

Once something is denied, and adamantly, you can suspect it is either true or something which raises too many inconvenient questions. Old news, such as US Produced Sarin Gas Used in Syria in Ukraine Lab, is now very current when we see vivid clips of Russian soldiers suffering horrific deaths from canister of poison gas dropped from […]

Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has claimed that the Western bloc needs more friends in Asia amid Beijing’s rise China and Russia are leading an “authoritarian pushback” against the “international rules-based order,” and their expanding ties pose a security threat that Western powers and their Asian allies must address together, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has […]

China’s oil demand is expected to hit a record high 16 million bpd this year, an increase of 800,000 bpd. Having lifted its zero-Covid policy, China is currently suffering through an exit wave of Covid but should recover in the second quarter. China is preparing for its reopening already, with the government issuing a huge […]

On August 20, a group of Kenyans filed a case against Britain at the European Court of Human Rights. They were seeking justice for the atrocities the British committed against them during the colonial era. They are seeking $200 billion in reparations for the crimes perpetrated in the tea-growing regions in the Kenyan Highlands. Unsurprisingly, Britain has failed to […]

The former US leader is a Florida resident, and is expected to be arraigned next week. Former President Donald Trump has issued a statement responding to the New York indictment against him on Thursday afternoon. The statement, posted to Truth Social, says that “this is political persecution and election interference at the highest level in history. […]

The concept of democracy revolves around self reliance. How much responsibility will you give away or allow to be taken before you resist?  The ruling class feels that you will not react to this loss and that independence is an abomination unless they get their cut.  This leaves a tiny minority to resist in the […]

China has now decided to enter into an entente with Russia aimed at forming a dual pole of influence amidst the impending trifurcation of International Relations in order for those two to more effectively compete with the US-led West’s Golden Billion. This of course also includes the ideational domain, thus explaining the precise timing behind […]

During the International Parliamentary conference Russia-Africa held March 19-20 in Moscow, Russian President Vladimir Putin, in a speech at the plenary session, reminded African parliamentarians that the partnership between Russia and African countries has gained additional momentum and is reaching a whole new level. That the current geopolitical changes present an opportunity to build on the […]

The Department of Defense (DOD) will officially begin the estimated $62 million process of renaming or removing military assets seen as honoring the Confederacy, the Pentagon announced Thursday. Each service has until Jan. 1, 2024 to implement the changes recommended in a report compiled by the DOD’s Naming Commission, created after Congress instructed DOD to […]

Russia has dominant air power over the Ukraine because of its advanced fighter jets, Kiev regime admits. The Su-35 has given Moscow’s forces “increasing dominance” of the skies over Ukraine, a Kiev government source has told ABC. Russia is increasingly dominating the skies over eastern Ukraine in its conflict with the former Soviet republic because […]

“There is no greater tyranny than that which is perpetrated under the shield of the law and in the name of justice.”—Montesquieu, Enlightenment philosopher For those wondering what to expect from the government in 2023, it looks like we’re going to be in for more of the same in terms of the government’s brand of […]

The West cannot relinquish the sense of itself at the centre of the Universe, albeit no longer in a racial sense, Alastair Crooke writes. A strategic aim would require a unitary purpose that could be succinctly outlined. It would require additionally a compelling clarity about the means by which the aim would be achieved and […]

The arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court for Russian President Vladimir Putin came at an opportune moment.  It was, if nothing else, a feeble distraction over the misdeeds and crimes of other leaders current and former.  Russia, not being an ICC member country, does not acknowledge that court’s jurisdiction.  Nor, for that matter, does the United […]

The alleged beheading threats come after a chorus of “guillotine the dictator” greeted the prime minister in Parliament. President Emmanuel Macron’s pension reforms have been followed by days of riots that police have struggled to control French politicians are being threatened with the guillotine if they attempt to protect President Emmanuel Macron’s government from a […]

The Islamic Republic condemned Paris’ “crackdown on peaceful protests” The Iranian Foreign Ministry has condemned France’s harsh response to pension reform protests, calling on Paris to “talk to its people and listen to their voices.” With […]
