Like his globalist counterpart, World Economic Forum leader Klaus Schwab, Jacques Attali is the lesser-known architect shaping the future If you have never heard of Jacques Attali, that might be intentional. Among the globalist architects, he is a shadowy figure who not only influences the course of French politics but also shapes our future – […]

  Leonid Savin In the previous publication we considered common approaches in geopolitical foresight methodologies specific to Western countries.i Clearly, alternative models are also possible, with a purely scientific, rational approach being clearly limited as it is historically closely linked to the Western worldview paradigm.

The meeting this week between two Eurasian security bosses is a further step toward dusting away the west’s oversized Asian footprint.

“A phenomenon noticeable throughout history regardless of place or period is the pursuit by governments of policies contrary to their own interests.

In this sphere, wisdom, which may be defined as the exercise of judgment acting on experience, common […]

On February 20, the United Nations Security Council approved a statement, described in the media as a ‘watered-down’ version of an earlier draft resolution which would have demanded that Israel “immediately and completely cease all settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territory.” The intrigues that led to the scrapping of what was meant to be a binding resolution will […]

To my astonishment, these stories are rarely recalled while drawing perspectives on Italian politics. They are even more unanimously ignored by foreign reporters, of course. With few exceptions: as an Italian, it was a relief to read Pepe Escobar’s analysis of the situation of my country. No longer Bella Vita, really. So, a pro-Russian blog reposts a story that […]

Not the we need polls to tell us the obvious, but the vast majority of Americans (over 90%) now rate inflation and the economic decline as their top worry going into the November mid-term elections.  This comes from the latest the latest POLITICO/Morning Consult poll, which traditionally tends to spin topics to the hard left, […]

Harvard sociologist Daniel Bell told America that manufacturing didn’t matter. He was wrong. In the wake of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, the U.S. Navy doubled its fleet within a year and quadrupled it before the end of the war. It was a similar story in the merchant marine. By 1943, U.S. shipyards […]

To residents of Memphis’s resource-poor, predominantly nonwhite neighborhoods, the Scorpions were easy to spot. The plainclothes patrols were known for driving their unmarked Dodge Chargers through the streets, often all too recklessly, sowing fear as they went, spitting venom from their windows, jumping out with guns drawn at the slightest sign of an infraction. On the night of January […]

Putin during his 4 hours appearance with a speech and Q&A event at Valdai forum deconstructs current decade and sets the tone for the next decade: “Liberal democracy has changed beyond recognition and has gone from promoting freedom of speech and expression, to demanding the ‘cancelation’ of anyone with a different point of view”, Russian […]

For a long time, the world has been gripped by a rivalry between the two major superpowers, the People’s Republic of China and the United States, which is primarily economic in nature but inevitably affects science and technology.

“In twenty or thirty years, the U.S. will still be a substantial regional power, perhaps like Brazil in South America, Iran in West Asia, or Nigeria in Africa. But it will not be the global hegemon it once was, able to project and inflict power in the world as it has done for the last […]

It can be rather effectively argued that the greatest export commodity of the USA is war, commonly known as the Military Industrial Complex, which has spent the bloody decades after WWII bringing “democracy” to the benighted of the world—by bombs and sanctions, if necessary.

Although Western analysts anticipated an aggressive […]

The longer the proxy war in Ukraine continues, the closer the U.S. comes to a direct confrontation with Russia. Once that happens, the Dr. Strangeloves running the show will reach for the nukes.

Although many remember February 24 as the first anniversary of the war in Ukraine, Russia’s special military operation is actually the next phase of a wider conflict that began in 2014.

A key statement in Vladimir Putin’s February 21st State-of-the-Union Speech (called “Presidential Address to Federal Assembly”) was a mere sentence-fragment buried late in that nearly two-hour-long encyclopedic speech to the nation, in which fragment he said “the longer the range of the Western systems that will be supplied to Ukraine, the further we will have to […]

One of the many myths that schoolchildren are taught in the name of American exceptionalism is the idea that the Americans finally embraced a republican form of government at the Constitutional Convention in 1787.

In myriad ways, what happened a year ago also […]

Davor Slobodanovich Vuyachich Following the reports of the “protests” in Iran, we cannot help but wonder if the immediate participants in these violent riots really know what they are doing and who they are doing it for.

There’s something irrational about President Biden’s knee-jerk dismissal of China’s 12-point peace proposal titled “China’s Position on the Political Settlement of the Ukraine Crisis.” “Not rational” is how Biden described the plan that calls for de-escalation toward a ceasefire, respect for national sovereignty, establishment of humanitarian corridors and resumption of peace talks. “Dialogue and negotiation are the […]

After paying for indoctrination of their own children in US, the Americans are now paying for ‘drag theater performances’, workshops, documentaries abroad.

Under President Biden, the Department of […]

Globalist and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has invested in and pushed for the consumption of fake meat, which can possibly cause cancer due to the ingredients used to make it. The technocrat expressed his desire for everyone to eat fake meat as a “climate-friendly” alternative to the real thing. During an interview with the MIT Technology Review, Gates remarked that […]

Bogeyman politics tends to be flatly unimaginative.  The image of the nuclear-mad Russian President, counting his diminishing options, has caught the imagination of press and propaganda outlets across the West.  Will “Mad Vlad” go the distance and deploy a nuclear weapon in Ukraine? Certainly, his rhetoric suggests the possibility.  Vladimir Putin has promised to “make use of […]

The Berlin demonstration called for peace talks and condemned Germany’s supply of arms to Kiev. An estimated 50,000 people attended the event calling for peace talks.

On the short roof outside the bedroom window, two black vultures sit, staring in. They have come to remind me of something. I put my book down and peer back at these strange looking creatures. The book: Our War: What We Did in Vietnam And What It Did to Us by David Harris. I had read it […]

According to Newsweek, on October 26th, “Finland Will Allow NATO to Place Nuclear Weapons on Border With Russia”. They cite Finnish media reports. Allegedly, a condition that NATO had placed on Finland to join NATO was to allow America’s nuclear missiles to be positioned on Finland’s Russian border, which is closer to Moscow than any other […]

The possible dispatch of Iranian ballistic missiles to the conflict zone might actually just be a fake infowar pretext for something that the increasingly unpopular Israeli coalition government might have been planning to do for a while already to coincide with the run-up to tense legislative elections on 1 November, which could possibly return Benjamin […]

Kiev already has the resolve necessary for the assault, but is still building up its capabilities, the president says Ukraine is preparing an offensive to try and seize Russia’s Crimean peninsula, President Vladimir Zelensky said on Friday at a press conference.

The Pentagon blew more than $1.5 million dollars shooting down harmless ‘UFO’s, one of which was likely a balloon launched by a hobby group that cost as little as $12 dollars to make. The series of shootdowns occurred after a Chinese high altitude balloon entered US airspace in late January, with Beijing insisting it was […]

When the U.S. begins its pivot away from Ukraine, and looks fully to Europeanise the war, the political class won’t be seen ‘for the dust’. “Appetites of the autocrat cannot be appeased. They must be opposed. Autocrats only understand one word: “No.” “No.” “No.” (Applause.). “No, you will not take my country.” “No, you will […]

The opportunity that I had to study at Yale College as an undergraduate and later at Harvard University for my Ph.D., the chance I had to wander among the gothic buildings, to imbibe confidence and purpose, and to learn to think, learn how things work, from distinguished scholars, was a point of stubborn pride for […]

Moscow has a Soviet-era system which can even hit back if NATO succeeds in taking out key decision makers Imagine if one day we suddenly get a news alert to say the button’s been pushed and nuclear war has been unleashed? Within hours, millions would be dead and hundreds of millions more would die in […]

As a research librarian, my professional life has focused on connecting people to reliable information. In the last thirty years, I have been stunned to watch as the rise in digital information that initially held so much promise in providing people with diverse and trustworthy content has instead spiraled into vast wastelands of clickbait, advertising, […]

Never is a very, very long time in politics. Yet whenever the topic of secession or so-called national divorce comes up, how often do we hear that “secession will never happen.” It’s difficult to tell if people using the term “never” actually mean it. If they mean “not in the next ten or twenty years,” […]

The recent visit of Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi to China is significant for many reasons. But the most important reason is the way China sees this relationship going in terms of its push for an emerging alliance for an alternative global order led by China (and Russia). At one level, China’s deepening ties with Iran […]

Demonstrators descended on the Ramstein military installation in Germany, calling for an end to arms deliveries to the Kiev regime.  Several hundred people gathered on Sunday outside Ramstein US airbase in southwestern Germany to demand an end to weapons shipments to Ukraine.

Beijing has expressed national-security concerns related to the SpaceX network Chinese researchers are preparing to launch close to 13,000 satellites into a low-earth orbit, in a move which would dwarf – and potentially monitor – Elon Musk’s SpaceX ‘Starlink’ network, which first launched in 2019 and provides satellite internet access to 50 countries. The project, […]

Today’s American mega-billionaires need to think long and hard about where their allegiances lie: perhaps reciting the Pledge of Allegiance before our nation’s flag might be a good place to start. If past history is any indication, their current corporate behavior will become their personal legacy illuminated under a harsh and revealing spotlight. American industrial […]

The blatantly incorrect actions of the current German government towards Russia, in particular its active support for the fascist regime in Kiev and its passivity in the events surrounding Nord Stream, have forced Moscow to look for more reliable partners, including outside the EU. This was especially true of Russian cooperation in the gas sector, […]

To Zelenskyy and Kiev regime, Crimea and the Donbas are national territories whose retrieval justifies all-out war to expel the invading armies of Vladimir Putin’s Russia. Yet, who controls Crimea and the Donbas has, in the history of U.S.-Russian relations, never been an issue to justify a war between us. America has never had a […]

The Anglosphere is completely captured by globalist interests. The world’s English-speaking nations that share historical and ideological ties — commonly referred to as the Anglosphere — were once understood as the world’s most powerful beacons for the tenets of freedom. Through our elected politicians in 2022, however, this social contract has vanished, and its ideas are […]

India’s envisaged economic and strategic leadership of the Global South could soon be complemented by a “Democratic Security” component depending on the moves that it makes after Color Revolution mastermind George Soros just declared Hybrid War on this globally significant Great Power during his Munich Security Conference speech. India’s principled neutrality towards the New Cold War over […]

In 1946, ex-British war PM, Sir Winston Churchill delivered his famous Zurich speech calling for the establishment of the United States of Europe. However, his idea of a united (Western) Europe excluded his native country – the UK. At that time, he envisaged West Europe as composed of independent, free, and sovereign states that would rise from […]

In every mainstream media outlet from Berlin to Los Angeles, Vladimir Putin and Russia are losing in the conflict with Ukraine.

The secret and incomplete history of US-Norway collaboration in covert operations. Why Norway? In my account of the Biden Administration’s decision to destroy the Nord Stream pipelines, why did much of the secret planning and training for the operation take place in Norway? And why were highly skilled seamen and technicians from the Norwegian Navy involved? The […]

Truth will prevail. If Hegel and Solzhenitsyn are right, then there is no need to despair, despite the fact that truth is quite rare in the political firmament. Mark Dankof is the former 36th District Chairman of the Republican Party in King County/Seattle. He was an elected delegate to Texas State Republican Conventions in 1994 and […]

While privately conceding that its ally Kiev is not “capable of winning the war,” the Biden administration keeps fueling it. Russia’s invasion of the Ukraine has presented the White House with a geopolitical crisis that it played a critical role in creating. In February 2014, Victoria Nuland, a current senior State Department official and former […]

On February 13, the press bureau of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) revealed that the United States is recruiting jihadist mercenaries to commit terrorist attacks on the territory of Russia and in the CIS countries.

In my entire lifetime, global supplies of diesel fuel have never been tighter than they are right now.  And that is really bad news, because the entire economy of the western world runs on diesel.  If we suddenly had no more diesel fuel, virtually all of our trains, trucks and ships would stop running.  Needless to say, […]

Granting Palestine full member state status at the UN would, according to many politicians, be a practical step that could preserve the two-state solution and help reinvigorate the peace process between Israelis and Palestinians.

The surge was triggered by increased purchases of discounted crude oil India’s imports from sanctions-hit Russia have leapt by 400% so far this fiscal year, the Nikkei Asia news website reported on Friday, citing the latest data from the Indian Commerce Ministry.

When news first emerged over explosions endured by the Nord Stream pipelines, known collectively as Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2, an army of guessers was mobilised.  The accusation that Russia had done it seemed counterintuitive, given that the Russian state company Gazprom is a majority shareholder of Nord Stream 1 and sole owner […]

Alexander Dugin In his Valdai keynote speech on 27 October 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin argued that: “The direct threat to the political, economic and ideological monopoly of the West is that alternative social models may emerge in the world.” Or even more starkly and definitively: “I am convinced that true democracy in a multipolar […]

It’s worth thinking about now. Do you remember when no one knew much about Donald Trump or his policies? The day that really began to change was Feb. 13, 2016, in the Republican debate in South Carolina, when Trump did something unusual for members of the GOP. Until then, like most Republicans, he had refrained […]

The whole reason why the Mainstream Media and allied accounts on social media are overdosing on this cheap “copium” is because they know very well that tougher days are ahead for their side considering NATO’s military-industrial crisis, the sanctions’ failure, and Russia’s likely capture of Artyomovsk/“Bakhmut”. Kiev’s supporters urgently need a proverbial shot in the […]

Hunter S. Thompson’s death 18 years ago remains suspicious. He left no suicide note and, according to the official story, supposedly shot himself while on the phone with his wife in mid-conversation—though she never heard any gunshots. The night before his death, Hunter told a friend: “They’re gonna make it look like suicide. I know how […]

Following the fall of the British Pound, the Japanese Yen, another vassal currency of the Western dollar-based financial system is crashing. The Japanese Yen appears to be inexorably drawn to the Maginot Line of 150/USD as for the third time in less than a month, Japan’s ‘yentervention’ failed overnight. As we detailed before the Asian […]

Europeans are storming the streets in unprecedented numbers to protest NATO’s proxy war in Ukraine and their own declining living standards.

With India and China developing a new consensus on the management of their border in Ladakh and with the possibilities of bilateral conflict receding, the US-led anti-China alliance has begun to seriously stumble from within. With both Asian giants founding new common ground, the future of the QUAD looks bleak while that of the BRICS […]

Europe has relied on U.S. LNG imports to offset the loss of Russian gas, with nearly 70% of U.S. LNG exports heading to Europe in September. In the long term, Europe will have to find other sources of natural gas as its inventories are likely to drain over the upcoming winter. Ultimately, Europe will have […]

When advocates of secession in the United States bring up “national divorce,” a common objection we hear is that secession can’t be allowed because it would make some people worse off. For example, we’re told that if, say, a majority of Floridians voted to secede, that still can’t be allowed because there would still be […]

Scott Adams has lost his career because of a “racist rant.” It was hardly a “rant.” His video remarks were perfectly calm. They are still up, and though he has backtracked a bit since, he hasn’t taken it down. He’s not bowing, scraping, and apologizing. The part that doomed him was his comments on a Rasmussen poll that found 46 […]

But in […]

Speaking at a Club 45 rally in Palm Beach, Florida on George Washington’s Birthday, President Donald Trump explained what he would do to put an end to the war in Ukraine if he were reelected: “I would literally start calling, not from the day I took over, but from the night I won.

It was 21 years ago this month that I was flown in the belly of a U.S. cargo plane, hooded, blindfolded, gagged, and chained in an orange jumpsuit, for over 40 hours. I didn’t know where I was being taken, or why. My journey into the unknown started when I was sold to the CIA […]

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has said that central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) could potentially allow a government to control what people spend their hard-earned cash on. Speaking at the IMF-World Bank annual meeting on Oct. 15, Deputy Managing Director Bo Li said that a CBDC could improve “financial inclusion” through programmability. “A CBDC can allow government agencies and […]

The War on Insensitivity So, here’s a “conspiracy theory” for you. This one is about the global-capitalist thoughtpolice and their ongoing efforts to purge society of “insensitivity.” Yes, that’s right, insensitivity. If there is anything the global-capitalist thoughtpolice can’t stand, it is insensitivity. You know, like making fun of ethnic or religious minorities, and the physically […]

People Worldwide are being impoverished. Protests are unfolding against inflation, rising energy prices and the collapse of social services.  French farmers continued their protest by dumping manure on police vans in Nîmes.

  Leonid Savin The ideas proposed by the Chairman of the World Economic Forum, Klaus Schwab, in his book The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) have already been criticized quite a lot for a variety of reasons. Yet for some people who do not identify themselves as supporters of globalization, they seem quite appealing. After all, Schwab argues […]

US will abandon the ‘unwinnable’ proxy war in Ukraine like they ended their failure in Vietnam The withdrawal from Ukraine will share the same feeling of regret – that sense that America overcommitted to a war it had no business winning – as the conclusion of the US combat role in south-east Asia, writes Professor […]

The figures of the Atlantic Alliance, relayed by the Western press agencies, make it possible to think that the Ukrainian people are united and resisting thanks to Western weapons. However, those of the Mossad, published by the Turkish site Hürseda Haber, show that they have no relation to reality. This phenomenon is not new. Having […]

I am an American born and raised and living here all my life, whose heroes include America’s great Founders who collectively together authored the most progressive national Constitution yet (not only as-of their own time, but perhaps even till this very day, the world’s most progressive Constitution, after it has been made even better — […]

I knew exactly what would happen when China unveiled their peace plan for the conflict in Ukraine.  The night before, I told my wife that western leaders would immediately dismiss it.  Sadly, that is precisely what happened.  Of course any peace plan proposed by China was not going to be perfect.  But for the good […]

On the first anniversary of the Russian special military operation in Ukraine, China presented a peace plan, aimed at re-establishing diplomacy and bilateral negotiations.

Robert Kagan is a well-known neoconservative historian who believes that America ought to exercise a “benevolent hegemony” over the rest of the world. In his just-published book, The Ghost at the Feast: America and the Collapse of World Order, 1900–1941 (Knopf, 2023), he presents an odd argument for America’s takeover of the Philippines after the […]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Joe Biden said Wednesday the United States will sell 15 million barrels from the nation’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) by the year’s end and detailed a strategy to refill the stockpile when prices drop. Biden’s plan is intended to add enough supply to prevent oil price spikes that could hurt consumers […]

It is kind of like watching a really bad Hollywood disaster movie slowly play out, except in this case billions of people could end up dead.  Thanks to the endless bumbling of the Biden administration, Russia and China have been pushed into each other’s arms, and now they seem determined to confront the western powers […]

Imran Khan had been the extremely popular progressive populist secular (non-sectarian) democratically elected Prime Minister (PM) of Pakistan during 18 August 2018 to 10 April 2022, when he then became overthrown by a U.S. coup and replaced by Shebaz Sharif, the younger brother of Pakistan’s Nawaz Sharif, who was Pakistan’s 5th-wealthiest billionaire and who had been Imran Khan’s immediate […]
