“I am not at all interested in the ‘eyes of the West.’ I am only interested in international law, according to which mercenaries are not combatants. So what’s in your eyes doesn’t matter.” BBC presstitute Steve Rosenberg tried to make Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov responsible for the lives of the two British men fighting as […]

Eight decades ago, the Asia-Pacific War officially began on the morning of Sunday 7 December 1941, with Japan’s military attack on the American-controlled Pearl Harbor naval base at Oahu, Hawaii.

US PPI was another deflationary surprise yesterday given the 0.5% fall in headline prices m-o-m and the weaker than expected 0.2% rise in core prices. Now pipeline inflation pressures are ‘only’ 9.8% and 5.8% y-o-y, respectively. Even so, the market’s fad for “sic transitory gloria mundi” faded yesterday, with stocks failing to hold gains, and […]

Hezbollah has threatened Israel with war if Lebanon is not allowed to exploit its share in the Karish gas field. Now, the Palestinian resistance may do the same over their “stolen gas” off the Gaza Strip. The maritime border dispute between Lebanon and Israel over ​​the Karish gas field is reminiscent of the stolen gas […]

Mega Eurasian organizations and their respective projects are now converging at record speed, with one global pole way ahead of the other.

It’s indeed possible for India to independently defend its economic-financial interests vis a vis the US while still coordinating with it to a certain extent in deterring what its leadership regards as the credible scenario of China advancing its regional interests in a zero-sum way. So as not to have the preceding sentence misunderstood or […]

Israeli is sending a delegation to Moscow to try to persuade Russian authorities not to shut down Jewish Agency’s branch. Moscow’s Basmanny District Court said earlier that it had received a request from the Justice Ministry to liquidate the Russian branch of the agency.

The resolution, which was approved by delegates — […]

What Sort Of Inflation Is “Troubling” To The Fed? The Fed seems to be raising the bar for what constitutes ‘troubling’ inflation, and as Standard Chartered’s Steve Englander notes, many expect the Fed to characterize inflation as ‘transient’ in many cases. In the discussion below, Englander and his team explain why the big fears are […]

Systemic corruption on this vast scale optimizes failure and collapse. Debating which nations will “win” as the global economy unravels is a popular but pointless parlor game. Since the status quo in every nation is deeply, profoundly, systemically corrupt, there won’t be any “winners,” there will only be losers. Apologists love to say that corruption has […]

As petroleum stocks dwindle and demand soars, refining margins are skyrocketing. U.S. refiners have been operating at full tilt in recent weeks to keep up with demand. There is a growing concern that refiners may not have much room to safely increase capacity. U.S. refineries have been operating at or near maximum utilization levels in […]

Readers who take a more or less constant interest in current international politics are probably aware of the existence of an interstate configuration called the Quad, which includes the United States, Japan, India and Australia.

Protests have erupted across Libya over armed militia presence, soaring inflation and power outages. Key oilfields and ports have been closed since April due to the ongoing political crisis. The already-battered oil market could face further supply disruptions if Libya descends into civil war. As protests continue to rock Libya, with demonstrators setting fire to the […]

It’s “Murky”. That’s how Peter Schiff describes what is going on with regard Ukraine’s gold reserves currently, and as you’ll see below, he is somewhat understating the uncertainty. But first, some history… In March 2014, it was reported about a mysterious operation that took place under the cover of night that sources claimed at the time […]

A majority of Americans agree that the US government is “corrupt and rigged against everyday people like me,” including 73% of voters who describe themselves as a “strong Republican,” 71% who called themselves “very conservative,” and 68% of rural voters.

The Washington Post recently published an op-ed purportedly written by President Joe Biden that tried to justify his visit with Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the psychopath who ordered the murder, dismemberment and dissolution in acid of Jamal Khashoggi, a columnist for — wait for it — The Washington Post. Let’s hope MbS […]

Nothing’s off the table, and that which was previously considered un-weaponizable is now “fair game” in this worldwide struggle over the direction of the global systemic transition that catalyzed “The Great Bifurcation”. The latest US-led Western Mainstream Media (MSM) information warfare narrative against Russia is that it’s a so-called “empire” that must therefore be urgently […]

This July 4th, a larger-than-usual shadow is cast upon America which has come face-to-face with some serious historic reckonings. While the existence of an oligarchy and international “deep state” should not be ignored as a political force of history- arranging wars, assassinations and promoting economic enslavement of people and nations throughout the centuries, the guilt […]

Discontent against the illegal presence of US troops in Syria is growing, as the US continues to steal Syria’s natural resources and provide training for extremist armed groups. The Syrian Arab Army (SAA), along with local citizens from the village of Al-Mujaibara, have expelled a US army convoy that tried to break into an area […]

The emerging pattern is that Russian-Vietnamese relations represent a model for cooperation between big and medium countries wherein the first-mentioned helps the second relieve pressure upon it from one or the other superpower, in this case China. Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov visited Vietnam en route to Bali to attend a G20 Summit, during which time […]

The EU has facilitated grain deliveries from Ukraine using alternative logistics routes, according to the bloc’s foreign-policy chief. Brussels has facilitated the export flows via its so-called “solidarity lanes,” top diplomat says. The European Union has accelerated the export of Ukrainian grain, almost doubling the volume of shipments in June, the EU’s foreign policy chief […]

By relying on the pretext of pragmatically giving off a more convincing aura of neutrality in order to hopefully broker peace between the conflicting parties, Ankara appears to be covering up for its unstated concern that Kiev can’t win against Moscow, which the entire world is increasingly beginning to realize as well as evidenced by […]

More than 100 British businesses in the travel industry have teamed up to launch a “Save our Summer (SOS)” campaign, calling on the government to lift travel restrictions by May to save millions of jobs in the industry.

The power of the people is unbeatable whenever the people are truly united behind a cause greater than themselves such as their country’s sovereignty and anything related to its existential defense. Pakistanis both present and past have suffered so much to preserve their hard-earned independence and won’t let it be stolen from them by elite […]

When it comes to fact-based analysis, I’ll take so-called ‘Russian propaganda’ over ‘Ukrainian truth’ every day. Ukraine’s ‘Center for Countering Disinformation’ has put me, and a host of other honest analysts, on a blacklist of ‘Russian propagandists’. In 1997 I flew into Kiev, on-mission with the United Nations Special Commission to seek the assistance of […]

When the globalist mouthpiece Axios changes the narrative and editorial decisions of what stories it publishes, it illustrates the facts that the NATO is losing militarily in the Ukraine, and is losing economically domestically in each of its member nations where inflation brings the people into panic, thus trying to save face from the incoming defeat […]

Today is July 4th, Independence Day. And, in the world of the New Normal, maybe that’s something we should all celebrate. The United States of America has become a corrupt Imperial juggernaut, chewing up the world and spitting out bones. We have all seen warmongers and tyrants prop up the corpses of Jefferson and Washington and […]

How much gold will you trade for a few eggs? It depends on how hungry you are. Two ideas will help us understand the rest of this tumultuous decade: core-periphery and the revaluation of what’s truly important: systemic adaptability, transparency, accountability, risk, capital and resources. I recently discussed the core-periphery model in a blog post, Crash Is […]

The West, in its intention to hurt Russia with sanctions, has shot itself in the foot, many media outlets have been writing for a while now. The result is high inflation, energy and food shortages, recession, and many political and social problems that Europeans don’t know how to deal with. The IMF itself admits that […]

Germany’s new leadership has gone “all in” on its alliance with the US, overturning a strategy that had underpinned its success What was known as the “memory culture” was an essential element of the foreign policy strategy of post-war Germany. Wise leaders were able to gradually restore the importance of the country on the international […]

When one thinks about liberation, the first thing that comes to the minds of many is Africa’s decolonization cause, which regrettably hasn’t yet been completed in full. It therefore naturally follows that if Russia wants to obtain credibility for its global revolutionary manifesto, then it must actively support Africa in finally finishing this process, ergo […]

Via Martin Armstrong One crisp winter morning in Sweden, a cute little girl named Greta woke up to a perfect world, one where there were no petroleum products ruining the earth. She tossed aside her cotton sheet and wool blanket and stepped out onto a dirt floor covered with willow bark that had been pulverized […]

As Putin says, the British government is nothing but an American lackey. The British are now ruled by their former colonial lackeys. An Indian who is the British Home Secretary has ruled, as he was ordered to do, the extradition of a foreign national who is not a citizen of the country extraditing him or a […]

China is again conducting major military exercises in waters around Taiwan, according to state media reports, which further decried US support to Taiwan separatist forces as “futile”.   China’s Defense Ministry was cited in Reuters as describing the drills as a warning aimed at the visit of a US senator. It said “China firmly opposes the visit […]

Since the late 1970s, Noam Chomsky and Edward S. Herman have written a series of books about the United States’ involvement in so-called “state terrorism.” Chomsky and Herman, in their publications, concluded that the global rise in state terror was the result of US foreign policy. The fact that the United States and its allies sponsored […]

Moscow has in recent years been increasingly developing its cooperation with Africa in all directions. The current world situation has prompted the search for new opportunities for direct trade and economic ties, and for many years now SPIEF has been one of the platforms for communication between various states and businesses. It is therefore not […]

After calling on all member states to reduce gas consumption by 15% in the face of the threat of a complete Russian gas cutoff, the IEA says the European Union will need to cut even more in order to get through the winter.  “Even if there is no single accident… #Europe still needs to reduce its gas […]

The Democrat and Republican parties have been wielding social movements as weapons in a culture war.

Russian philosopher, mystic, political strategist, radical bohemian, and geopolitical guru; Aleksandr Dugin is notorious, yet few in the West know much about him. Described by some as the brain of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Dugin is often depicted by Western media as a Rasputinesque figure with a dangerously eerie grip over Russia’s political and intellectual […]

The European energy crunch is set to worsen this week after Norwegian offshore oil and gas workers went on strike, threatening to sever the Scandinavian country’s energy supplies to the UK and Europe, according to Reuters.  As much as 1,117,000 barrels of oil equivalent, or 56% of daily natural gas exports, while 341,000 barrels of oil […]

On 27 September 2021, the brilliant geostrategic analyst Brian Berletic headlined “US War Plans with China Taking Shape”. He linked to and analyzed the then-latest draft of the U.S. Government’s detailed plans to conquer China. (The plan had been drawn-up in 2016, but sounds like today.) The objective of these plans is for the U.S. Government […]

At present the world is divided into two major camps on the principle of global redistribution of resources. One of these two groups consists of the BRICS group, with a population of 3.2 billion people, dominated by such giants as China, India and Russia, plus their allies around the world. The other group consists of […]

The White House keeps insisting that it will not directly involve American soldiers in the war in Ukraine, but it keeps taking steps that will inevitably lead to a large-scale open combat role for the US against Russia. Among the most recent moves to increase the pressure on the Kremlin, Biden revealed at a NATO summit meeting […]

It is hard to be sanguine about the future. The breakdown of the ecosystem is well documented. So is the refusal of the global ruling elite to pursue measures that might mitigate the devastation. We accelerate the extraction of fossil fuels, wallow in profligate consumption, including our consumption of livestock, and make new wars as […]

Update (1100ET): The Russian Foreign Ministry has responded to Lithuania’s partial blockade of Kaliningrad, writing in a statement that they consider the “provocative measures” to be “openly hostile” and warning thatthe Kremlin may take action to “protect its national interests.” Kaliningrad is sandwiched between the EU and NATO members Poland and Lithuania. Supplies from Russia are delivered […]

Not since Wile E Coyote’s repeated failures to nab the Road Runner have we seen debacles like the ones now unfolding in the UK and Europe as a consequence of their misguided effort to destroy Russia. Germany’s economy is on the precipice. With an economy dependent of the import of oil and gas from Russia, German […]

The irony is that the suppression of dissent is the suppression of competing ideas that generate systemic stability via rapid adaptation. Nations that appear stable may fail once they’re under pressure. What do I mean by “under pressure”? Pressure can come from many sources: invasion, civil war, prolonged scarcities of essentials, natural disasters, financial crises, droughts, […]

So, Joe Biden, the alleged President of America, was supposed to go to this meeting with the Arabs and beg them for oil. Instead, the wacky sonovabitch strapped a bomb to his chest and ran into a crowd of sheiks, yelling “Ukrainia Akbar!” before clicking the detonator. Reuters: President Joe Biden told Arab leaders on Saturday […]

Lithuania violated the rules of the World Trade Organization. Lithuania broke international law by implementing a “blockade” of Russia’s Kaliningrad Region, Senator Konstantin Kosachev has said.

There’s a passage in Ernest Hemingway’s 1926 novel The Sun Also Rises in which a character named Mike is asked how he went bankrupt. “Two ways,” he said. “Gradually, then suddenly.” It reveals a lot when it comes to success and failure. It’s the way states go bankrupt, banks collapse, currencies implode, and prime ministers […]

One of the outcomes of the alleged new SARS Covid virus that publicly emerged in 2019 is that the medical specialization of virology has been raised to a stature almost Godlike in the media. Few understand the origins of virology and its elevation into a leading role in today’s medicine practice. For this we need […]

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong This is the Western Plague in research. They always seek to reduce whatever it is to a single cause and effect. I am so tired of this nonsense about CO2. Here in Flordia, we had a red tide and instantly the politicians were blaming it on farmers that certainly are […]

The US has been accused of recruiting hundreds of ISIS, HTS, and Al-Qaeda militants to fight on the side of Kiev.

According to an informed […]

When Donald Trump first got into office, it became apparent that his political instincts were good. He certainly proved that by beating 16 other seasoned Republican politicians by knowing exactly how to appeal to ordinary Americans who had long been ignored by the Washington elite in both parties. But what Trump could never overcome was the massive […]

In the recent Wall Street Journal article “Inflation Surge Earns Monetarism Another Look,” Greg Ip writes that a recent surge in inflation is not likely to bring authorities to reembrace monetarism.

The MSM continues to peddle fake news propaganda that Sweden has been a disaster because they didn’t lockdown and require masking. They didn’t close schools or businesses. Their economy slowed, but didn’t crash like the UK. Facts and real data are very inconvenient to Gates, Fauci and the authoritarian tyrants like Boris Johnson. The MSM […]

“In a closed society where everybody’s guilty, the only crime is getting caught.” – Hunter S. Thompson The burden of proof has been reversed. No longer are we presumed innocent. Now we’re presumed guilty unless we can prove our innocence beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. Rarely, are we even given the […]

Strange how campaign season leads to the usual political drama over taxes. Republicans have learned the hard way that they should never raise them, at least not in ways that are noticeable. They accuse Democrats of plotting secret increases. The Democrats deny it but draw attention to mounting debt and hint that solving the problem […]

In 1998, President Jimmy Carter’s National Security Advisor Zbiegnew Brzezinski told Le Nouvel Observateur that the CIA “knowingly increased the probability” that the Russians would invade Afghanistan by covertly supporting the Mujahideen before the Soviet invasion. Later in that same interview, Brzezinski claims that this covert intervention caused the end of the Soviet Union: Brzezinski: Regret what? […]

The entire country is at risk of blackouts this summer, say analysts. And the independent media is pointing to green energy as one of the culprits.

According to the White House, the very demonstration […]

Its genuine popularity at the grassroots level shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone, neither those in the country nor observers who’ve objectively followed events there from afar. What took everyone off guard, however, was that PTI was “allowed” to win by those same stakeholders who are suspected of having at the very least “passively facilitated” […]

When historians look back on this chaotic and turbulent period, they will find that few individuals inflicted as much damage on the environment and promoted the interests of the “dirty fossil fuel” lobby as Greta Tunberg, who by shaming and forcing “serious” politicians to pivot toward green energy at a time when there was nowhere […]

All free nation states across the continents can learn from history to move more wisely into the future.  Prior to the time of Ertugrul and the 13th century, there was an alliance formed 500 years earlier between Frankish-Christian King Charlemagne (742-814), Arab-Muslim ruler Haroun Al-Rashid (763-809), and the Turkish-Jewish King Bulan (???-786) of the Khazar […]

The military is facing its most severe staffing crisis since the advent of the all-volunteer force in 1973.

While the Central Asian front of the New Cold War isn’t as dynamic as the Eastern European one, that doesn’t mean that it’s any less dangerous. To the contrary, Afghan-emanating terrorists will almost certainly attempt to infiltrate Russia as part of the US’ new plot to “Balkanize” it on a faux “decolonization” basis. The first-ever […]

The outcome of South Korea’s local election that took place on June 1, 2022 could be described as an unmitigated disaster for the Democratic Party of Korea.

The worship of the “heroes of Mariupol”, i.e. bandits from Azov, cowardly hiding behind the backs of civilians imprisoned in Azovstal, is another example of the progressive nazification of political consciousness in contemporary Poland. In Gdańsk one of the the squares was officially named in honour of “heroic Mariupol”. Well, although it is hard to […]

The cat is out of the bag. The warmongering policies of Western misrulers are being connected and comprehended by the general populace.

The World Economic Forum (WEF) released a position paper Monday that inexorably links two claimed global crises as one – “climate change” and the “decline of democracy.” It says fighting the former can save the latter as long as consumers stop burning coal, oil, and gas in exchange for green renewables. The WEF paper argues for […]

The United States wants to turn Taiwan into an Asian Ukraine. The goal is to use it as a weapon against a China, a country that has been declared an adversary.

By the time you read this, the U.S. economy will likely be officially mired in what could be a long and deep recession. Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood said Tuesday we’re already there: We think we are in a recession. We were wrong on one thing and that was inflation being as sustained as it […]

Post-Soviet Russia hadn’t ever intended to, but it’s now following in the global revolutionary footsteps of its communist predecessor, which speaks to an intriguing trend connected to this civilization-state’s historical role in International Relations. President Putin shared his global revolutionary manifesto on Wednesday while speaking at the plenary session of the “Strong Ideas for a […]

The covid-19 pandemic featured an unprecedented fusion of the interests of large and powerful corporations with the power of the state.

The destruction of ‘phantom wealth’ via default has always been the only way to clear the financial system of unpayable debt burdens and extremes of rentier / wealth dominance. The notion that the world could always borrow more money as long as interest rates were near-zero was never sustainable. It was always an unsustainable artifice that […]

July 8 was a muggy day in the ancient capital of Japan.

The current Kiev regime can hardly be called a “state” even with certain reservations. Just like the notorious terrorist groups banned in Russia and in many countries around the world, such as Al-Qaeda or ISIS – Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.

Luciano Lago The Anglo-Saxon oligarchies are not resigned to the defeat of their proxies in Ukraine and the NATO apparatus that supports them.

India hosted […]

The Great Game is back. Today it is played not only in diplomacy, on battlefields and within fights of intelligence agencies, but also in a virtual dimension.

When will this nonsense on familial connection between Australia and the Pacific end?  In 2018, Australia’s then Pentecostal Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, drew upon a term that his predecessors had not.  On November 8 that year, he announced that Australia’s engagement with the region would be taken to another level, launching a “new chapter in relations with our […]

Either one ascribes to the oversimplified and arguably inaccurate assessment propagated by many in the Alt-Media Community for reasons of “narrative/political convenience” or they aspire to obtain a more nuanced understanding of the complex socio-political processes (soft security) connected to Color Revolutions in general and to the Nukus Incident in particular. The first will result […]

Subscribers have noticed that it’s been quiet on this site for a while.

From there, focus will gradually evolve to Southeast and West Asia as well as Africa and Latin America, with […]

This is an election year. But the issues this year are not about Democrats and Republicans. The big issue is whether this nation has degenerated to a point of no return — a point where we risk destroying ourselves, before our enemies can destroy us. If there is one moment that symbolized our degeneration, it […]

Davor Slobodanovich Vuyachich Sou Wan “Glory to Ukraine!” – this infamous cry of Ukrainian neo-Nazis and other national chauvinists, extremists, and terrorists from Ukraine, a country that has been practically under NATO occupation since 2014, is a curse that from the hell itself, invoked the torrents of the most primitive and irrational hatred that humanity […]

The Soviet Union had included what now are Armenia, Azerbaijan, Byelarus, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan.

An ex-police officer has gone to jail for sharing George Floyd memes in a private messenger group. As the UK jails an ex-police officer for making fun of George Floyd, it goes beyond fighting racism and towards throttling freedom of speech. The excuse that “it was only a joke” will no longer fly in British […]

Russia is done with the West. The divorce is nearly complete.

Boris Johnson resigning would only be interesting in an alternate universe where there was some remote chance that he won’t be replaced by another depraved sociopath. ❖ Remember when rich people were so worried about Jeremy Corbyn raising their taxes that they spent months pretending to believe he was a closet Nazi?

First, it was all fossil fuels. Now, environmentalists are targeting “green” energy, which they now claim is toxic – despite pushing it for many years as the “solution” to oil, coal, and gas.

Nevertheless, no one should fall under the false assumption that this development implies a trans-Atlantic rift between the EU and the US since nothing of the sort is unfolding.
