Why Putin’s Winter Offensive Will Prompt US Entry Into the War – Mike Whitney “The war in Ukraine is not a Call of Duty fantasy. It is an enlargement of the human tragedy that NATO’s eastward expansion created. The victims do not live in North America. They live in a region that most Americans can’t […]

In his New Year’s address, Russian president Vladimir Putin once again spoke of “the importance of traditional family values.” It is one of his most common themes. Two months earlier, Putin had angered Western liberals by saying that teaching children “that a boy can become a girl and vice versa…is on the verge of a crime against humanity” […]

In October 2022, about eight months after the war in Ukraine started, the University of Cambridge in the UK harmonized surveys conducted in 137 countries about their attitudes towards the West and towards Russia and China. The findings in the study, while not free of a margin of error, are robust enough to take seriously. These […]

China’s exit in October 1949, from the sphere of US control, was perhaps the heaviest blow to strike American post-World War II global hegemony. China’s successful drive for independence had been anticipated in Washington for many months. In September 1948, the far-sighted American diplomat George Kennan noted that “there are considerable limitations on what we can do to […]

The inevitable outcome was clear for a decade at least, but in the run up to the Covid lockdowns there were many economists in the corporate media that outright denied the reality of an inflationary or stagflationary crisis. Joe Biden, Janet Yellen, Paul Krugman and a host of journalists claimed that concerns about inflation were […]

Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman says the kingdom would stop selling oil and cut output if a price cap is imposed. Western policies in relation to Russian crude risk major uncertainties when clarity is most needed, the Saudi oil minister says. Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman has warned Western states against […]

The disinformation service, Bloomberg, takes the lead. Bloomberg points its finger at Donald Trump and “Trump era deregulation.” In Bloomberg’s rewriting of history,  Trump is responsible because he signed a bill passed by Democrats and Republicans that allowed mid-sized banks to “skirt some of the strictest post-financial crisis regulations.” So, where was the federal reserve? Where were […]

After playing a key role in the US-led war to topple the Syrian government, Saudi Arabia reversed course and will re-open its embassy in Damascus 12 years after the start of the war Saudi Arabia plans to reopen its consulate in the Syrian capital, Damascus, over a decade after it was closed at the onset […]

The United States is a human rights hypocrite.  No country has been more aggressive in lecturing others about human rights and no country has been less willing to take part in international efforts to halt crimes against the peace or even genocide.  The United States has been one of the major obstacles in the creation […]

The U.S. and Europe are the new sick men of the world. The Western response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine is widely seen as a sign of a reinvigorated alliance of democracies against authoritarianism. Even historically anti-war publications like the Guardian speak volubly about the West’s heroic “defense of liberty.” Raising concerns about petty issues like a […]

Tsai Ing-Wen, the leader of Taiwan, is slated to visit California and meet with US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy in April. This meeting will certainly cast an unpredictable variable on Sino-U.S. relations. The relationship between China and the US is already frosty and was only worsened by the stray balloon incident earlier this year, and more recently […]

The Department of Defense is considering tailoring back surveillance operations in the Black Sea, CNN reported, citing defense officials.  Defense department is “taking a close look” at ways to reduce or restructure spying operations in the region to reduce the chances of further conflict, the officials, who have been flying their own jets in the […]

A new round of Wunderwaffen deliveries to Ukraine is taking place. It is unlikely to change the strategic or even operational picture of the war. The U.S. and its ‘allies’ are engaged in a boil-the-frog operation in which they steadily increase the lethality and complexity of arms and other support they deliver to Ukraine. At some point […]

People need to wise up! God is about to do a Sodom and Gomorrah on this country! Probably too late already! That said: these churches we have in this country are really awful. Protestant ministers are stand-up comedians, they play rock music, and the entire purpose of the church is to serve as a singles […]

There is something irresistibly attractive in Russia’s defense of traditional and religious values (what might be called Russian neo-conservatism if that label had not been usurped by American Jewish warmongers). But where does it really come from? We tend to assume that it is a reaction to Western post-modern decadence. But there is more depth […]

Federal contracting documents reviewed by The Intercept show that U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) is ramping up its efforts to unleash internet propaganda and other deception campaigns online using deepfake videos. The entity responsible for some of America’s most secretive military operations, SOCOM is also gearing up to hack people’s internet-connected devices in order to eavesdrop on how […]

“When the song of the angels is stilled, when the star in the sky is gone, when the kings and princes are home, when the shepherds are back with their flocks, the work of Christmas begins: to find the lost, to heal the broken, to feed the hungry, to release the prisoner, to rebuild the […]

The wave of the Polish return migration from the UK immediately before and after Brexit is noticeable both in absolute numbers and in the subjective perception of the Polish community in Britain.  Popular understanding of this phenomenon, also based on the justifications given by the returners, most often refers to ethnicity, family ties, traditions, and […]

PRINCETON, NEW JERSEY (Scheerpost) — The Democrats position themselves as the party of virtue, cloaking their support for the war industry in moral language stretching back to Korea and Vietnam, when President Ngo Dinh Diem was as lionized as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. All the wars they support and fund are “good” wars. All the enemies […]

Famous Black Like Me author John Howard Griffin, who was recruited under CIA’s Operation Mockingbird, appears to have played an important role in the cover-up For five decades, the circumstances of the sudden death of the famed anti-Vietnam War monk Thomas Merton have remained cloaked in the confusion of assorted stories having very little commonality, except for […]

You’re likely thinking that a discussion of “sound banking” will be a bit boring. Well, banking should be boring. And we’re sure officials at central banks all over the world today—many of whom have trouble sleeping—wish it were. This brief article will explain why the world’s banking system is unsound, and what differentiates a sound […]

Washington’s multi-billion-dollar investment pledge only exists because African nations are needed to counter Beijing’s influence Last week, the Biden administration hosted a summit of African leaders in Washington, DC. The meeting, the first of its kind in over a decade, aimed to increase US engagement on the continent with a view to countering China. The US […]

So, Elon Musk’s free-speech Twitter appears to be going extremely well. Critics of the official Covid narrative, and the official Ukraine narrative, and Elon Musk, are still being deplatformed, censored, and defamed, but, otherwise, you can tweet whatever you want! If you want to tweet about how Elon is running Twitter almost single-handedly while personally caring for his […]

The danger signs were everywhere in 2022. With every new law enacted by federal and state legislatures, every new ruling handed down by government courts, and every new military weapon, invasive tactic and egregious protocol employed by government agents, we were reminded that in the eyes of the government and its corporate accomplices, “we the […]

The Turkish leader declared that his latest weapons could “hit Athens”. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned on Saturday that his country’s newest ballistic missiles could reach Athens, before reiterating Türkiye’s demand that Greece cease its militarization of the Aegean islands. “Now we have started to make our own missiles,” Erdogan said in a speech on […]

During the 36th Ordinary Session of the African Union (AU) held in Addis Ababa, African leaders have indeed prioritized the most significant questions especially those including peace and security necessary for sustainable development, halting the frequency of military’s appearance unto the political scene and consolidating continental efforts for improving intra-African trade and economic development. Under […]

The Federal Reserve is sowing the seeds for its central bank digital currency (CBDC). It may seem that the purpose of a CBDC is to facilitate transactions and enhance economic activity, but CBDCs are mainly about more government control over individuals. If a CBDC were implemented, the central bank would have access to all transactions in addition […]

Mark Dankof pens brief and reassuring thoughts to the Eurasian Prophet on the Mysterious Promises of the Eternal Christ in Time and Space: Christmas 2022 (West) Mr. Dugin: I must confess the novelty involved in sending a personal note to someone I have never met face-to-face. And yet I have had a spiritual and existential […]

A trove of intelligence files sent by Canadian peacekeepers expose CIA black ops, illegal weapon shipments, imported jihadist fighters, potential false flags, and stage-managed atrocities. The established mythos of the Bosnian War is that Serb separatists, encouraged and directed by Slobodan Milošević and his acolytes in Belgrade, sought to forcibly seize Croat and Bosniak territory in service of […]

Dr. Wilson Chin, a Hong Kong-born, U.K.-trained physician who practiced medicine in Queensland, Australia, is dead after getting “vaccinated” for covid. Chin was an aggressive promoter of covid jabs, having been among the first to start injecting children under the age of 12 after Pfizer’s mRNA (messenger RNA) variety was approved for children aged 5-11. The first […]

What’s unfettered in America is “Communism for the Rich” and the normalization of corruption that results from the auctioning of political power to protect monopolies and cartels. The irony of constantly being accused of being a communist is rather rich. When I point out that “free market capitalism” in America is neither a real market nor […]

There is no shortage of activists, journalists, academics, and people of conscience who have some story to share about the impact of the “Collateral Murder” video. The U.S. military footage of an Apache helicopter crew shooting indiscriminately at a dozen Iraqi civilians — including Reuters journalists Namir Noor Eldeen and Saeed Chmagh, and two young children — […]

Western countries, above all the United States, are seeking to replicate Afghanistan and Iraq scenario in Iran, creating chaos to destroy the country and loot its resources, Scott Bennett, a former US Army Special Operations Officer, said honestly and truthfully.  “The West is fully committed to an absolute chaotic breakdown of Iranian government, religious, and […]

Qassem Soleimani, the Iranian commander of the elite Quds Force in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), played a significant role in launching the Iraqi resistance against the US occupation, and subsequently, against the self-proclaimed caliphate of ISIS. The story of the military operation that led to ISIS’ defeat began with a meeting between Soleimani […]

Jeffrey Silverman, Georgian Bureau Chief for Veterans Today, has been interviewed by several Russian TV channels concerning his work over the years in exposing US bio weapons programmes in Georgia and countries of the former Soviet Union, with special emphasis on Ukraine, and on the latest breaking news, that the US and Ukraine are in […]

An article by Sam Ashworth-Hayes that was published by the Spectator (UK) on December 11, 2022 arguing that Canada’s assisted dying catastrophe is a warning for the UK. This is an important article because assisted dying (euthanasia) is being heavily debated in the UK. Ashworth-Hayes writes: There is a reason people have warned against legalising […]

A year and a half after the Biden administration’s ignominious withdrawal, Afghanistan is in a dire state Afghanistan is in the midst of a severe crisis as a result of the 20-year U.S.-NATO war which culminated in a return to the status quo—that is the return of the Taliban to power. Unequivocally, the United States […]

Claims made by transatlantic politicians and their media partners turn reality upside down—and would baffle even George Orwell. U.S. President Joe Biden, Western politicians and their media partners agree that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was “unprovoked.” The president of the country notorious for its numerous unprovoked wars of aggression called Putin a “criminal” for doing so. […]

The deputy foreign ministers of Russia, Turkey, Syria and Iran are meeting in Moscow next week, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said on March 8. Speaking at a joint presser with his Iranian counterpart Hossein Amir-Abdollahian who paid a solidarity visit to Turkey after the February 6 earthquakes, Cavusoglu said that all sides are working […]

Welcome to the era of state-sponsored thought police Yesterday, journalists Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger testified before the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government. Their testimony, and the risible reactions of Democrats on the subcommittee, are well worth watching; I watched the entire hearing, which lasted 140 minutes. Kim Iverson has an […]

In recent years, the energy partnership has played a crucial role in Sino-Russian trade and economic cooperation. The partnership between China and Russia in the oil and gas industry is one of the most significant developments in the global energy market. This collaboration has been expanding over the last several years and has seen China […]

Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) failed on Friday and was shut down by regulators. It was the second-largest failure in US history and the first since the global financial crisis. Almost immediately, the calls for bailouts started to come in. (Since Friday, First Republic Bank has failed, and many other banks are facing collapse.) In fact, on […]

Washington is profiteering from the “economic war” against Moscow, Pierre de Gaulle has said, the grandson of the famous French President Charles de Gaulle, who founded the modern French political system and served as president from 1959 to 1969. He is the author of the Eurasian idea with his famous statement, “Eurasia From Lisbon To […]

It amazes me that so many people still cannot understand what is happening.  2022 was supposedly going to be a year when America entered a new golden age of prosperity, but that didn’t happen.  Instead, it was a complete and utter disaster.  Stock prices fell by the most that we have seen since 2008, the […]

Welcome to the great banking collapse of 2023.  Please try to enjoy the ride.  When FTX crumbled, I explained to my readers that it was not the first domino to fall and that it certainly would not be the last.  Sadly, that prediction turned out to be completely accurate. Within the last week, we have […]

Bibi is by nature cautious – even timid. His radical ministers, however, are not, Alastair Crooke writes. Michael Omer-Man writes: Almost exactly 10 years ago, a young star rising in the Likud party, spoke to an audience committed to the outright annexation of the occupied Palestinian territories, laying out his blueprint. A year later, this […]

Economist Michael Hudson analyzes the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, Silvergate, and Signature Bank, explaining the similarities to the 2008 financial crash. In this discussion with Geopolitical Economy Report editor Ben Norton, Hudson also addresses the US government bailout (which it isn’t calling a bailout), the role of the Federal Reserve and Treasury, the factor […]

Walt Garlington The written, democratic constitution continues to be the norm lionized by the so-called ‘civilized nations’ of the West, upheld as the best way to organize society that mankind has come up with. For that reason, a little more analysis of them is in order. Two main problems stand out. First is the notion […]

The European Union, quite impoverished of late thanks to its North American “ally,” is now actively planning to use frozen Russian assets to finance the reconstruction of Ukraine’s economy, shattered by the war imposed on it by the US and NATO. It appears that the EU’s plans include an attempt to steal the Russian Central […]

As the geniuses running the western financial bubble (sometimes called an “economy”) continue to double down on their obsession to pump a dead financial system with ever more trillions in stimulus spending, arguments are raging among brainwashed economists living in denial over the oncoming systemic collapse. The failure of Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, and […]

You won’t even see it and you’re dead. The new Russian R-37M air-to-air missile has shown the highest combat effectiveness during its use as part of Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine, an informed source told Sputnik. “The R-37M missile has demonstrated the greatest efficiency during the special military operation. When the missile was used, […]

On March 4, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley, made a surprise visit to U.S. troops stationed in northeast Syria to the chagrin of the Syrian government, which said the visit was “illegal” and a “flagrant violation of the country’s sovereignty.” The Syrian Foreign Ministry said that Milley’s visit would “not make Damascus stop its […]

Oil and gas stocks have been shunned by institutional investors for several years. Energy stocks have collectively gained some 60 percent this year in the United States alone. The ESG narrative has also begun to unravel this year, with ESG funds significantly underperforming traditional funds. For several years, oil and gas companies have found themselves […]

Only 48 percent of US citizens express trust for their nation’s military, according to a poll carried out last month by the Ronald Reagan Institute (RRI). As trust for the US army continues to erode at home, only 50 percent of citizens say they have confidence in the army’s ability to defend their country. The […]

According to sources familiar with the political behind the scenes of Bandershtat, the blow fell on the bunker control and planning centers, as well as on air defense / radar. Insiders reported heavy losses among the officers, including American ones. It seems that the “shadow General Staff” of the proxy-NATO got a lot. Commander-in-Chief of […]

“Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” -Benjamin Franklin Arizona Senator Mark Kelly has called for the censoring of social media companies to prevent bank runs.

On December 13th, Gallup listed, in order of Americans’ polled ratings of issues as being the nation’s “Most Important Problem”, all 14 issues that more than 2% of Americans thought to be that; and here they were, in order from the top-most to the bottom-most, of all issues that the thousands of Americans who were […]

After the implosion of the FTX crypto exchange run by Sam Bankman Fried, questions of due diligence and competency immediately arose, suggesting that perhaps the company mishandled assets “accidentally” and that Fried was naive and “in over his head.” Numerous central bank officials and globalist organizations jumped into the debate almost immediately, arguing that FTX […]

The world’s largest provider of DNA services has been gobbled up by Wall Street investment giant Blackstone. For $4.7 billion, Blackstone purchased Ancestry.com from private equity rivals Silver Lake, Spectrum Equity, and Permira, placing a “big bet,” as Reuters describes it, “on family-tree chasing as well as personalized medicine.” In case you are unfamiliar with the services it offers, […]

Currently, the U.S. has exactly 900 military bases in foreign countries, in addition to the 749 bases inside the U.S. itself. The U.S. Government minimizes and tries to hide this reality from the public. Furthermore, although the U.S. is officially estimated to spend around 36% of the entire world’s military expenditures, the actual figure is around 50% of […]

The signing of the Memorandum of Understanding between the Ukrainian Finance Ministry and the BlackRock investment company indicates a de facto sale of Ukraine. Former Ukrainian MP Ilya Kiva said. “In fact, this deal is a direct sale of Ukraine’s territory.” The population to be charged for is not part of the terms of the […]

This paradigm of International Relations isn’t about upholding the UN Charter, but arbitrarily implementing double standards in advance of America’s interests and even sometimes at the expense of its own reputation in pursuit of its goals. This was recently expressed through its hypocritical approach towards Georgia-Moldova and Bosnia-Serbia as well as its equally hypocritical condemnation […]

Turkiye’s Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu told media on 29 December that Ankara is willing to withdraw from the territory it occupies in northern Syria and hand it over to Damascus in the event that “political stability” is reached. Cavusoglu’s comments came just one day after a high-level meeting in Moscow between the defense ministers of […]

The collapses of Silvergate and Silicon Valley Bank are like icebergs calving off from the Antarctic glacier. The financial analogy to the global warming causing this collapse is the rising temperature of interest rates, which spiked last Thursday and Friday to close at 4.60 percent for the U.S. Treasury’s two-year bonds. Bank depositors meanwhile were […]

The Syrian Foreign Ministry on 5 March strongly condemned the illegal visit of US Army General Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to an undisclosed base in Syria’s northeast a day earlier.

“The Netherlands should learn lessons from Germany’s botched reparations deal to address colonial crimes in Namibia, where the failure to consult with affected communities derailed the process,” said one Human Rights Watch campaigner. While many activists welcomed Monday’s official apology by Netherlands Prime Minister Mark Rutte for his country’s 250-year history of enslaving Africans, some Dutch […]

Since it was first staged 130 years ago, Tchaikovsky’s masterpiece, ‘The Nutcracker’, remains the main hit of the New Year season. This year, ‘The Nutcracker’ marked its 130th anniversary. It is widely acknowledged that this masterpiece, set to the music of Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky is the most famous ballet in the world. Indeed, it’s hard to […]

The US government, Western media, and supposed “human rights” organizations are condemning Cambodia for recently sentencing Kem Sokha, the former leader of the opposition party “Cambodia National Rescue Party” (CNRP), to 27 years in prison. While the arguments being made publicly revolve superficially around upholding “human rights” and “democracy,” the actual reason for the West’s […]

The new currency should be able to become an “external money” storage of capital and reserves down the road, not just a settlement unit. Ah, the joys of the Big Circle Line (BKL, in Cyrillic): circumnavigating the whole of Moscow for 71 km and 31 stations: from Tekstilshchiki – in the old textile quarter – […]

A vanishingly short period of relief in U.S. and global markets was shattered Wednesday after the scandal-plagued Swiss banking giant Credit Suisse announced that its auditor identified “material weakness” in its financial reporting and the firm’s largest investor—the Saudi National Bank—said it wouldn’t inject more cash to bolster the company. As its share price plunged, […]

Americans should stop believing propaganda and reconsider their idea of ​​​​Washington’s world leadership, writes George D. O’Neill Jr., a member of the board of directors of the American Ideas Institute, which publishes The American Conservative. “We are experiencing the death throes of the United States’ unipolar hegemony over large parts of the world. Until citizens begin to realise the magnitude of […]

A cascade of falsehoods from the Ruling Class — on January 6th, Ukraine, & Inflation… “Live Not by Lies.” In 1974, Russian dissident and intellectual Alexander Solzhenitsyn wrote an essay with that title, and was summarily exiled from the Soviet Union the very next day. “Live Not by Lies.” In 1974, Russian dissident and intellectual […]

The Defense Secretary’s tour of the region shows Washington’s unwillingness to evolve Ahead of anticipated regional escalations in the coming months, US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin landed in the Kingdom of Jordan on Sunday, kickstarting yet another high-profile Middle East visit this year.

Customers of First Republic Bank in Southern California are lining up outside bank branches, eager to withdraw their funds in the wake of the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB).

The Spanish government’s announcement that it plans to introduce a new “solidarity tax” on the wealth of those who possess over €3 million has again brought to the fore the debate about taxes levied on wealth and capital. The issue is not merely that the announcement is highly politicized in what is already, de facto, […]

The political corruption we see today has grown out of a long-term unholy alliance between U.S. intelligence agencies and organized crime syndicates This intelligence/organized crime ring is setting into place a technocratic form of feudalism, a transhumanist slavery system Transhumanism is eugenics rebranded, and the merger of Silicon Valley companies with Big Pharma is eugenics […]

US cannot turn Vietnam against China. China and Vietnam are strengthening their partnership to resist Western interference in their internal and regional affairs. Although the two Asian countries have major issues between them and centuries worth of historical animosity, Hanoi will never allow the US to use Vietnam to fight or pressure China. Chinese President Xi […]

I have been working within the liberty movement for almost 17 years now. In that time I’ve been involved in numerous organizations that all generally fought the same battle, or the same war – The war against encroaching centralization and authoritarianism.

“Beyond Anything Orwell Could Have Imagined” Because of his American education and the kindergarten he ran in Xingjiang that taught the Uyghur language, the linguist Tahir Hamut was incarcerated by the Chinese government for fifteen months in 2013 and 2014. “China tortured me,” Hamut told the journalist and author Geoffrey Cain.  “They sleep-deprived me.  They […]

Little did we know that by 2023 the raging would go beyond paroxysm, Pepe Escobar writes. It’s idle to dwell on the cringe-worthy visit of the Kiev clown to Crash Test Dummy at the White House, coupled with a “Churchillian” speech at the War Party dominions in Capitol Hill. History will ridicule this Hollywood soap […]

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov received his Saudi counterpart, Faisal bin Farhan Al-Saud, in Moscow on 9 March to discuss bilateral relations and cooperation between the two countries.

I had high hopes for Elon Musk and Twitter. In the first few days of his new ownership, he seemed like he was on the right path. But everything quickly changed, and now, Elon is acting pretty much like the CEO who he just fired. All the old “election integrity” nonsense and censorship tools are […]

Journalistic Dumpster Diving A recent WSJ article “The U.S. Is Not Ready for the Era of ‘Great Power’ Conflict” by Michael R. Gordon has caught the attention of the Internet, perhaps because it is behind a paywall and has a catchy title, which encourages commentators on various websites. Paywalls are great teases. And titles are bait […]

The criminal investigation undertaken by the federal government against hundreds of participants in the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol is polarizing the country and shredding civil liberties. There is little that unites me with those who occupied the Capitol building on Jan. 6. Their vision for America, Christian nationalism, white supremacy, blind support […]

More than two years since the lockdowns of 2020, the political mainstream, particularly on the left, is just beginning to realize that the response to Covid was an unprecedented catastrophe. But that realization hasn’t taken the form of a mea culpa. Far from it. On the contrary, in order to see that reality is starting to […]

Washington’s defense of its unipolar world is becoming increasingly difficult for the White House, and it is accompanied by growing opposition from Russia, China and an increasing number of supporters of a multipolar world order. Under these circumstances, Washington is desperately trying to demonstrate what little still remains of its influence on the suppression of […]

Since 1957, space has become an arena of active rivalry between scientific thought and economic-technical capabilities between Moscow and Washington.

Yesterday, World Health Organisation Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus announced “with great pleasure” a joint project of the IPU Parliament and WHO, “which can guide parliamentarians along the path towards health for all, including on law-making, finance, taxation, and accountability.” A few days ago, we published an article warning that the World Health Organisation (“WHO”) aims to begin […]

A growing body of evidence suggests that the US would blow up the global economy to prevent China from laying claim to Taiwan’s semiconductor factories. Former White House National Security Advisor Robert C. O’Brien has hinted at a sinister US contingency plan in the event of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan. Rather than see Taiwan’s […]

During the visit of Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister to Moscow, Russia and Saudi Arabia pledged to continue OPEC+ cooperation. The current OPEC+ agreement will remain in place until the end of this year, at which point members will reconsider the situation. Despite Russia unilaterally cutting its oil production and Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister visiting Kyiv, […]

Proxy wars devour the countries they purport to defend. There will come a time when the Ukrainians will become expendable to the U.S. They will disappear, as many others before them, from U.S. national discourse and popular consciousness. There are many ways for a state to project power and weaken adversaries, but proxy wars are […]

The West is clinging to the impossible dream of hegemony, Russian philosopher tells RT. Philosopher Aleksandr Dugin discusses the Soviet Union’s legacy, multipolarity & other issues in an exclusive interview to RT.

Since the dawn of human civilization 5,000 years ago, ordinary people like you and me have been engaged in an endless struggle to resist efforts by elites, whether local, national, international or global, to assert complete control over us and the resources around us. And for 5,000 years, with some wins and a great many […]

“We have lost many of the officers who received U.S. training over the past nine years, eroding a corps of military leaders. A lot of them are killed,” the official said.” Now, the official said, those forces must be replaced, but replaced with what?  Finally some truth about the real state of the Ukrainian military […]

The level of anger that we are witnessing all over the United States right now is extremely alarming.  Millions of voters on both the left and the right are filled with rage, and I have never seen this country more bitterly divided than it is at this moment. Interestingly, survey after survey has found that […]

My short answer to the question — Yes! I received an interesting response to my request for opinions on what constitutes the “Endgame” in Ukraine from a man named Matt. Here is his analysis: The end game is to diminish/weaken Russia. The US has determined they cannot fight and win a war against both China […]

Just as Ghana cannot afford an economic Maguire, so also can the Catholic Church not afford a spiritual Maguire at its centrer, Declan Hayes writes. Although Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova now claims that Russia accepts the Pope’s apology over his Chechen and Buryat smears and therefore considers the matter closed, it is anything […]

Our sources in Ukraine, not Russia, are warning of serious dissent building against Zelensky. He is a high-heel dancing actor who has been playing a confidence game. He is by no means a military leader and the Ukrainian Military is at its ends with him. The Ukrainian General Valery Zaluzhny, is having a serious conflict […]

Washington’s refusal to acknowledge Russia’s legitimate security interests in Ukraine and negotiate an end to this war is the path to protracted conflict and human suffering. During a speech given on November 29, Polish Vice-Minister of National Defense (MON) Marcin Ociepa said: “The probability of a war in which we will be involved is very high. […]

The Pentagon released its budget request for Fiscal Year 2024 Thursday. The figure for the Pentagon alone is a hefty $842 billion.

Vice President of the Mary Ferrell Foundation calls new release by Biden a “sham” because key documents remain classified. On December 15, President Joe Biden released nearly 1,500 documents on the JFK assassination, but withheld 5,000 critical documents.

Politicians in the state of Montana are pushing a new bill that would make it a crime for those who have been “vaccinated” for the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) to donate blood. Citing contamination issues, Rep. Greg Kmetz (R-Miles City), the sponsor behind House Bill 645, wants to make it a misdemeanor with a $500 fine for vaccinated […]

Even though there is as of now not much prospect of the conflict in Ukraine coming to an end (and US interests actually profit from making it perpetual), there is much talk already about “rebuilding” the country. In a November video address, Ukrainian President  Volodymyr Zelensky claimed it would take no less than $1 trillion to rebuild it. […]

America’s self-inflicted trouble in Ukraine aggravates our dangerous trouble at home. The crisis of American national power has begun. America’s economy is tipping over, and Western financial markets are quietly panicking. Imperiled by rising interest rates, mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Treasuries are losing their value. The market’s proverbial “vibes”—feelings, emotions, beliefs, and psychological penchants—suggest a dark turn is underway […]

Europeans are suffering vastly higher costs now for energy — the foundation of ANY nation’s economy — and do so because of the primary and secondary sanctions that America’s Government demanded, and that Europe’s Governments copy and comply with, which sanctions strangle what had previously been, by far, the cheapest and the most-abundant energy-sources for Europeans, which […]

Staffed by British special forces veterans, Pilgrims’ Group quietly shaped international coverage of the MH17 disaster as it shepherded journalists to and from the crash site.

That’s how things fall apart: insiders know but keep their mouths shut, outsiders are clueless, and the decay that started slowly gathers momentum as the last of the experienced and competent workforce burns out, quits or retires. Outsiders are shocked when things fall apart. Insiders are amazed the duct-tape held this long. The erosion of […]

The recent crude price slump may not be indicative for what is to come in oil markets according to several investment bank analysts. OPEC has not consistently produced more than 30 million bpd since 2015-2018. Structural underinvestment in new oil supply may lead to structurally higher prices.   In its latest monthly report, OPEC revealed it […]

Britain has entered an era of legalised larceny by the politically well-connected some 150 years after the Victorians ended what they execrated as the “Old Corruption”. By this they meant the toxic system whereby the ruling elite enjoyed a parasitic relationship with the state enabling them to obtain jobs and money through patronage, partisanship and […]

When the scenario is all mapped out, with different and various levels of conflict between the West and Russia, it is easy to conclude that lots of preparation and game theory has gone into the proffered reports by various think tanks, RAND, Atlantic Council, NATO, EU, etc. But include that with the level of diligence, […]

Alex Krainer When it comes to all matters military, I have been following a handful of analysts among whom Croatian Admiral Davorin Domazet (retired) emerged as perhaps my favorite.

As Republicans continue to expand their leads in polling across the country, Democrats are worried that the leads may soon grow beyond the normal margin of Democrat cheating. “Yeah, normally our big-city vote harvesting machines and slimy election procedures are good for a bump of a few percentage points, but Republican poll numbers may have […]

The Atlantic’s Emilie Oster wants a “pandemic amnesty.” She thinks American children were sacrificed to the COVID Moloch because “we just didn’t know.” As I pointed out in the article below, originally published on my Substack last week, we have a problem that’s far too serious to be papered over with superficial “forgiveness.” –Kevin Barrett, Veterans Today Editor RFK Jr. […]

Entering a new period of turbulence in 2022, Russia will change beyond recognition, but we have yet to know precisely how To describe in one word what 2022 has been for Russia? I would say – transformative. This is nothing new. Wars invariably reconstruct the foundations of those who wage them. The ongoing conflict in […]

While it is A dozen years after four atomic reactors exploded at Fukushima, the plant STILL daily irradiates 150 tons of water which must be treated and stored forever. Thousands of tons more of such lethal liquid are still held in rotting tanks. The Japanese government wants to dump them in the Pacific, but local […]

In order to make the world a better place, the World Economic Forum (WEF) wants the nations of the world to legalize or at least decriminalize pedophilia, which the globalists are now referring to as “age gap love.” To criminalize the sexual molestation of children is to “violate human rights,” according to WEF head Klaus Schwab […]

During its rise to world domination, the City of Rome had one major competitor, which was its equal in every way. That city was Carthage, located 370 miles away, on the South side of the Mediterranean Sea. Carthage had been planting colonies around the Mediterranean and Atlantic for over a century before Rome was even […]

A scholarly study found that British colonialism caused approximately 165 million deaths in India from 1880 to 1920, while stealing trillions of dollars of wealth. The global capitalist system was founded on European imperial genocides, which inspired Adolf Hitler and led to fascism. British colonialism caused at least 100 million deaths in India in roughly 40 […]

 It has long been the standard in Germany for the government to report adverse reactions to vaccines. Even when other countries conceal this type of data for political purposes, Germany tells the truth – and what the country recently revealed about covid “vaccines” is no exception. The most definitive study to date, according to “A Midwestern Doctor,” […]

The very foundations of the “rules-based global order” seem to be collapsing. As westerners we know that our strength lies in our unity cemented by our shared values. But these days it appears that all that strength is proving increasingly hollow. Spats and mudslinging among European powers has become a daily diversion, but last week […]

The case of Mexico is quite telling that no country can hope to feel safe, no matter how closely it worked with the US authorities. For decades, the country has been ravaged by drug cartels, themselves often deeply connected to the infamous CIA and other US intelligence agencies. There are very few informed people who […]

According to the European Monitoring Center for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA), the volume of drug consumption in EU countries has increased markedly this year.

The big talking point of the week was the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, with a couple of hundred billion in assets evaporating overnight and blowing away on the morning wind. I ought really to be more interested in this than I actually am. I only became a rootless bohemian 22 years ago. Prior to […]

It is obvious that, at least in The West, the U.S. side has already overwhelmingly won the propaganda-war part of the war against Russia in the battlefields of Ukraine; however, what about the ultimate military and diplomatic sides of that war — what will be the war’s outcome, in fact (even if not in myth)? Among the great geostrateic […]

Since Fukushima in 2011 there has been a revolution in the scientific understanding of the relation between radiation exposures and subsequent cancer and leukemia. But you would be hard put to find anything about this on Google, which has, over the same period of time as it has increasingly excluded any real news about what […]

You already know things are not good for a lot of people in the United States. As of two months ago, 64% of the country said they’re living paycheck to paycheck.

There is a cardinal difference between the Washington Post report of June 18, 1972 by Alfred Lewis breaking the news of the Watergate burglary and the sensational claim by the New York Times on Tuesday — per a CNN report — that “intelligence suggests that a pro-Ukrainian group” sabotaged the Nord Stream gas pipelines.

KIEV, UKRAINE (THE GRAYZONE) — The demise of FTX, the fifth-biggest cryptocurrency exchange by trade volume in 2022, and the second-largest by holdings, has sent a wave of chaos through global financial markets.

Biden’s ‘1 final warning’ … before the Democratic coup? writes Mike Pottage If Americans take Democrats at their word, anything less than a total Democratic victory on Nov. 8 will threaten freedom and the future of the United States of America.

According to Prof. Hagai Levine of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, co-author of the peer-reviewed study, global sperm counts have dropped by 62% since 1973, and if the trend continues, it “could threaten humankind’s survival.” The drop in sperm count, which refers to the quantity of sperm that are present in an average ejaculation, has […]

Imperialism has always been — and always is — control of foreign governments. This is especially control of those governments’ foreign policies — international trade, military, diplomatic, etc., and not merely (if at all) domestic policies (which always are of far less concern to the rulers in the imperial nation — in this case, America). […]

  For me, this is the opportunity of a lifetime. I’m an academically-trained Morocco expert. My Ph.D. dissertation compares medieval Moroccan Sufi miracle stories to contemporary personal experience narratives of similarly miraculous events. So I’m not just an expert on Morocco, I’m specifically an expert on Moroccan miracles. I’m the guy everybody should be asking […]

Most Western countries consider Mongolia as a state that shares liberal-democratic political and ideological values.

Syria has been at war since 2011. The conflict is in a stalemate. US troops control nearly a third of the country.

The end of world dollar hegemony is coming and hardly anyone in government is taking notice or even understands what this means.

Two years ago, Morocco and Israel signed the US-brokered “Joint Declaration”, thus officially recognizing Israel and instating diplomatic ties. Though other Arab countries had already done the same, the Moroccan official recognition of Apartheid Israel was particularly devastating for Palestinians. Years ago, a close Moroccan friend told me that the ‘first time’ he was arrested was during […]

For the past two years, Israelis have been divided and unable to choose a government.

During his recent four-day African tour, French President Emmanuel Macron was forced to admit that the era of the “Françafrique” is over in Gabon.

Many in the West have been predicting a downturn in the China-Russia alliance in the wake of the ongoing Russian Special Military Operations in Ukraine.

According […]

Washington wants to draft allies into a ‘silicon fence’ around Beijing, leaving China to race against the clock to innovate The United States is aiming to construct what one journalist has described as a “Silicon Fence” around China, a sanctions barrier that aims to make it impossible for Beijing to import advanced chipmaking technology. Washington strives […]

“The West is Playing with Fire in Ukraine,” “The Russian-Ukrainian Conflict and the Achilles’ Heel,” “Why Europe is Splitting over Ukraine Arms Deliveries.” These and similar headlines in the Middle Eastern publications reflect the response of local media and political circles to the West’s recent increase in arms deliveries to Kyiv. According to local analysts, […]

Former US President Donald Trump has said he doesn’t want Washington to support a regime change in Russia but would like […]

Well, it has been quite a year, 2022. I’m officially dubbing it “The Year of the Gaslighter.” I was going to dub it “The Year of the Mother of All Mindfucking Global-Capitalist Gaslighters,” but that seemed like a mouthful, so I’m opting for brevity. Seriously, if there were an Olympics of Gaslighting, GloboCap (i.e., the […]

If you have ever wondered, “where do America’s spies come from?” the answer is quite possibly the Walsh School of Foreign Service (SFS) at Georgetown University.

Xi Jinping has made an offer difficult for the Arabian Peninsula to ignore: China will be guaranteed buyers of your oil and gas, but we will pay in yuan.   It would be so tempting to qualify Chinese President Xi Jinping landing in Riyadh a week ago, welcomed with royal pomp and circumstance, as Xi […]

In the UK today, it seems, being knighted means you’re someone the UK state wishes to protect from prosecution for crimes against the British people. We don’t need to point to Sir Tony Blair, Klaus Schwab KBE, or even to Sir Jimmy Saville to corroborate this theory. Last week, Pascal Soriot, the French-born Australian and Chief […]

In the second week of March, thousands took to the streets of Tbilisi, Georgia, to vent their fiery indignation over a draft law requiring any NGO operating in the country that receives over 20% of its revenue from overseas to register as a “foreign agent.” Violently clashing with police, daubing anti-Russian graffiti on virtually every available vertical […]

I very rarely do book reviews, but in this case I felt that I simply *had* to share with you what I consider a true gem, one of those books which one simply has to read.  I am referring to the book “France’s Yellow Vests: Western Repression of the West’s Best Values” by Ramin Mazaheri, […]

China, whose economy is steadily growing year by year, has made great efforts over the past ten years to increase its presence in other countries. Resource-rich Papua New Guinea (PNG) is interested in additional investment from abroad that will boost the economic growth of the developing country with a population of 9 million. Today, Western […]

After corrupt Western media outlets such as Washington Post, effectively admitted that NATO destroyed Nord Stream pipelines, there was widespread mocking of EU’s vassals silence after opting to destroy the livelihood and well-being of its own people: Mother of all Xmas presents….one which will reverberate through the next coming years. Attacking allies impressive! Never forget […]

Many experts expect public anger over inflation to enable Republicans to regain a majority in the US House of Representatives and maybe the Senate in next week’s midterm elections. However, even if every close Senate race broke in Republicans’ favor, and the new Republican majority was determined to pass a pro-liberty agenda, there still would […]

Renowned Japanese Senator Muneo Suzuki called on the United States to honestly admit to Japan and the whole world that dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of World War II was a mistake. “Although 77 years have passed since the war ended, the United States, the country that dropped the atomic bomb, […]

The New Cold War that the US itself provoked has suddenly taken an unexpected turn whereby that declining unipolar hegemon is now backstabbing its Turkish mutual defense ally as punishment for its leadership’s independent foreign policy. The US is actively waging a Hybrid War of Terror on Turkiye as evidenced by its role in orchestrating the YPG-PKK’s recent terrorist […]

It’s inconvenient when those whose sacrifices are essential to the system get fed up and find some other way to live. Convenience isn’t just about small appliances. It’s also about ruling nations. Let’s start with the semantics of ruling nations. Some labels might be viewed as somewhat inflammatory (Kleptocracy, anyone?), so let’s stick with the […]

Anyone who has read the many official and unofficial U.S. Government statements about the U.S. Government’s relationship to the rest of the world knows that that Government’s attitude equates competition as being hostility, and so demands that every other nation will ally itself to the U.S. Government, or else will be an enemy of that Government. U.S. […]

Only two months have passed since the beginning of the new year 2023, and it has already turned out to be eventful in the ongoing latent conflict between Israel and Iran, ready to break out at any minute through the fault of Tel Aviv, which is incessantly preparing to attack Iranian territory without concealing it. […]

The accession of Kyrgyzstan to chair of the Commonwealth of Independent States for 2023 should bode well for the central Asian republic. Having not held the position since 2016, Kyrgyzstan’s new role in the CIS, a transnational Eurasian body intended to foster economic and military development, will likely spur economic growth in what is the poorest country […]

European industries including ferroalloys, fertilizer plants and specialty chemicals are shutting down as a result of the ongoing energy crisis. Certain industries may not come back, even if the energy crisis eases. An increasingly tight regulatory environment is another reason for de-industrialization in Europe. The European Union has been quietly celebrating a consistent decline in […]

It is rather obvious that uniting the opposition in the elections of the head of state usually ends in failure. This fact is due to the contradictions in the programs of the opposition candidates and, of course, the maximalist approach of each of them in their desire to get into the office. This may explain […]

Kiev Regime just admitted that American troops will be needed to keep the remnants of the Ukraine from total collapse. At the same time NATO announces Ukraine will become a member of the alliance before too long. This is a non-starter for Russian President Putin.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s call with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday marks a new stage in the bilateral relationship between the two time-tested friends, both contextually and from a long-term perspective.
