  For years, Chinese leaders have sounded warnings over Taiwan, pledging to bring the Chinese island back within Beijing’s fold voluntarily or by force, if necessary. And for just as long, Taiwanese leaders have essentially ignored or rejected China’s statements. But now, China has become infinitely stronger than at any time in modern history, and […]

This meeting is considered a precursor to the upcoming visit by US President Joe Biden to West Asia. Officials and delegates from the US, Israel, Bahrain, the UAE, Morocco, and Egypt met in the Bahraini capital of Manama on 27 June for a continuation of multilateral discussions that started in the controversial Negev Summit hosted […]

A former British soldier, who left to become a mercenary for Kiev’s Nazi regime, has been shot and killed in Ukraine, his family said. Jordan Gatley was named in a social media tribute post by his father Dean Gatley who said his son had left the British Army in March “to continue his career as a […]

Independent Ukraine wants to keep Soviet borders – so it must maintain actual legal continuity and be responsible for Soviet expropriations. Independent Ukraine has European aspirations and wants European rights – so it must also assume European obligations. Hundreds of thousands of Holocaust survivors, as well as Poles, Hungarians and Romanians who once lived in […]

One prince rides out from the West, the other from the East, destined to do battle until Judgment Day decrees there must come a time of peace. Ancient legends have always fascinated me, and it has always seemed that this is always with us: the past, the present and the future all knotted together in […]

Gustavo Petro’s victory in Sunday’s Colombian Presidential election, marking the first time Bogotá has elected a left-wing head of state, was not the only far-reaching geopolitical event to recently take place involving Latin America. A week prior to the former guerrilla fighter’s electoral success, President Nicolás Maduro of neighbouring Venezuela paid an official two day […]

The latest inflation figures are due on Friday and will reveal if consumer prices are signaling a peak or will remain at four-decade highs that have financially devastated American households.  For months, households have been battered by soaring fuel, grocery-store food, and power bill costs — all rising at double-digit annual rates for the first time since […]

Former CIA director and secretary of state Mike Pompeo gave a speech at the Hudson Institute last week that’s probably worth taking a look at just because of how much it reveals about the nature of the US empire and the corrupt institutions which influence its policies. Pompeo is serving as a “Distinguished Fellow” at the Hudson […]

The recent events in Ukraine have marked the expiry of the New World Order, as Bush defined it, and the beginning of a new era in relations between nations, an era which had long been known to many people around the world. It is only three decades since George H. W. Bush spoke of a […]

The Russian Federation just came out with a new imperative entitled “Destroying America: A Moral Imperative.” Okay, not really. But the United States has come out with exactly this strategy for “dealing with” Russia. Only the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE) version is titled “Decolonizing Russia.” Apparently, the plan is not to […]

After all we’re deep into the metaverse spectrum, where things are the opposite of what they seem. Fast but not furious, the Global South is revving up. The key takeaway of the BRICS+ summit in Beijing,  held in sharp contrast with the G7 in the Bavarian Alps, is that both West Asia’s Iran and South America’s Argentina […]

  “Washington Times” opinion editor Charlie Hurt blasted the House January 6 committee Thursday night with FNC’s Tucker Carlson. TUCKER CARLSON: I mean, if you take three steps back, what we’re really watching is members of Congress talking about themselves again. CHARLIE HURT: Yeah, absolutely. Because the alternative is for them to have to talk […]

Russian actions in Ukraine cannot be justified – but they are not unprovoked, the Turkish president’s spokesman says. The Turkish president’s spokesman explained that a “policy of balance” prevents Ankara from sanctioning Russia. Turkey does not follow the Western lead in sanctioning Russia because it is guided by pragmatic economic considerations and “a policy of […]

You might have noticed a certain political instability in the air, not just in the US but all over the world. In a world in which people generally care about rights and freedoms, surely this was inevitable, however much the expert managerial class failed to anticipate it. Beginning in March 2020, much of the world […]

By reportedly considering making Israel’s latest attack against Syria an issue of global importance by bringing it up before the UNSC, Russia isn’t seeking to distract from Ukraine like the first-mentioned’s media dishonestly claimed but is standing up for international law while also sending a wink in Iran’s direction. The Jerusalem Post published a piece […]

What Cairo is cleverly doing is setting Sudan up to fail in an attempt to divide and rule both it and Ethiopia in order to create the conditions for exerting Egyptian hegemony over the wider region at both of their expense. Patriotic Sudanese probably already suspected that something foul was afoot but might not yet […]

While those on the other side of this conflict might celebrate the self-inflicted damage that she caused to their opponents, nobody should take any joy in knowing that someone lied about sexual crimes and therefore made it much more difficult for actual victims the world over to make their voices heard after they’ve been violated. […]

Annual inflation in Denmark reached its highest level since 1983, reaching 7.4% in May due to rising energy and food prices. Higher costs for electricity, energy and food are the major driving forces behind the rise, official data shows. Consumer prices in Denmark in May were 7.4% higher than a year earlier, official data released […]

After a single Federal Reserve rate hike of 75bps I am noticing a trend among mainstream economists whipping out their crystal balls and predicting an almost immediate reversion to deflationary conditions. In their view, a recession will “balance everything out.” For most of these people I would suggest that they keep their crystal balls in […]

The paper found changes to the way the federal government measures inflation understate the current scope of the problem. Even though inflation has reached 40-year highs, topping out at 8.6 percent for the month of May, some took minor solace in the fact that prices haven’t increased at the rates seen during the Jimmy Carter […]

Last winter, Europe experienced soaring energy prices, leading France and Germany to reconsider their closing of nuclear power plants. Now, China and India have announced that they will increase coal production by more than the total US consumption. Background The world goes through cycles where the ruling elites lose their grip on reality, and it usually happens […]

OneWorld is publishing the English version of the brief interview that Andrew Korybko gave to Bizim.Media’s Tehran Orucoglu about the Ukrainian Conflict, which was first released under the title “Amerikalı politoloq: ‘ABŞ-ın bəzi rəsmiləri artıq Ukraynanın qalib gələcəyinə inanmır’”. 1. The Russian-Ukrainian war has been going on for a long time. What impact have sanctions […]

Are we under attack?  Previously, I have written about a series of very strange fires that have occurred at key food production facilities in the United States this year.  Authorities insist that each one of those fires was an “accident”, and maybe they are correct.  But now the same thing is starting to happen to the energy […]

Having failed in preserving the unipolar order, the west will resort to Plan B – reviving a bipolar world based on the ‘civilized’ west and the ‘barbarian’ rest. Plan A: Global Hegemony By the late 1990s, it was clear that a China-led Asia would be the dominant economic, technological and military power of the 21st century. […]

A Belgian municipality has removed a controversial Waffen-SS memorial, prompting anger from Latvia. A Belgian municipality earlier this week dismantled a monument to Latvian Waffen-SS legionnaires, despite the Latvian authorities’ outrage over the decision, the Museum of the Occupation of Latvia said on Wednesday. The monument, which took the form of a traditional Latvian beehive, was […]

A Russian factory which is currently studying the seized French weapons also sarcastically thanked French President Emmanuel Macron for the “gifted” artillery, asking him to send more for disassembly since they are not that good for the intended purposes compared to their superior Russian equivalents. With over one third of Western weapons being destroyed by […]

US has revealed 46 “peaceful” bioweapons facilities were supported by the US government in Ukraine over the past 20 years, but as part of a peaceful public health project rather than to develop biological weapons, the Pentagon said on Thursday.  In February, the Russian Defense Ministry said it discovered the existence of 30 US-funded military […]

It is well known that US politics, and American politicians themselves, have long thrived not on “diplomatic successes”, but on considerable cash profits from the unleashing of numerous armed conflicts in one part of the world or another. And this is particularly evidenced by the recent allocation by the US Congress of $40 billion to […]

Dutch farmers are expanding their protests against the government’s climate agenda. Dutch lawmakers were voting on proposals that would likely lead to many farmers being forced to stop farming. Dutch farmers are preparing for a hot summer confronting the government’s announced nitrogen emission cuts, which some deem a land grab to make way for Agenda 2030. Minister of […]

All things considered, it can be concluded that Russian-Sudanese relations are mutually beneficial and have immense promise for the future. Their excellent state despite the change of several governments in the past few years represents one of the Kremlin’s greatest foreign policy successes in Africa. The New York Times (NYT) published an intriguing piece last […]

Israeli strikes in Syria have been carried out with the secret coordination and approval of the US military, the Wall Street Journal has reported. America is making sure the IDF attacks don’t interfere with their operations in the country, US officials claim. Israeli strikes against Iranian-linked targets in Syria have been carried out with the […]

Here’s the current budget deficit. The blue is good and the orange is bad. You can see a lot of orange, and after 2008 things have been decidedly “orange.” Since there is no actual cash in the piggy bank the US government has to borrow it. Meanwhile, debt spirals higher. Total US debt now tops […]

A fresh New York Times report has confirmed what many already suspected – that the CIA is still very active inside Ukraine – especially with training as well coordinating weapons among its Ukrainian allies. The Times report details “a stealthy network of commandos and spies rushing to provide weapons, intelligence and training,” based on US and European intelligence […]

Imagine, if you will, the following system… Government is managed by elected representatives who are in turn elected by the people. Government is further restrained by checks and balances between three branches, each of which is accountable ultimately to the people who live under the laws. Unlike the ancient system of government in which the […]

Dozens of Polish mercenaries have been killed in Russian airstrikes in Donbass. The troops were stationed inside a Megatex factory. Also, Russian Aerospace forces eliminated eight Grad multiple launch rocket systems at the same position. “Up to 80 Polish mercenaries” were killed, and 20 armored vehicles and eight Grad multiple rocket launchers were destroyed in […]

The Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) has suspended the entire national energy market from June 15 at 2:05 p.m. after it was deemed “impossible” to continue operating the spot market while ensuring a reliable energy supply. AEMO Chief Executive Daniel Westerman prefaced the announcement by revealing the market operator had been forced to direct 5,000 […]

To move from 59 infant deaths out of every 1,000 live births to no infant deaths in the matter of a few decades is an extraordinary feat. Palpite, Cuba, is just a few miles away from Playa Girón, along the Bay of Pigs, where the United States attempted to overthrow the Cuban Revolution in 1961. […]

The Assange persecution is the greatest threat to Western press freedoms in years. It is also a shining monument to the fraud of American and British self-depictions. The eleven-year persecution of Julian Assange was extended and escalated on Friday morning. The British Home Secretary, Priti Patel, approved the U.S.’s extradition request to send Julian Assange […]

Shaban Syed Contrary to reports in western media, the US instigated war in Ukraine is failing, despite billions of dollars of weapons, funds and mercenaries sent by NATO to “weaken” Russia. While these reports continually reiterate how the world condemns Russia for its military actions in Ukraine, they omit the fact that by “world” they […]

Katehon Think Tank   For many years the USSR lived under the yoke of harsh sanctions imposed by “partners” in Western countries. This is no exception for contemporary Russia. Today, almost any action in the political arena can serve as a pretext for the introduction of a new package of restrictions. The Crimea issue The […]

You would have to be out of your mind to fight wars with China and Russia simultaneously.  Unfortunately, the guy in the White House actually fits that description.  Joe Biden has been a hothead throughout his career in politics, but now he is a hothead that is in an advanced state of mental decline.  And […]

In the following report, a strategic overview is laid out with the explicit purpose to inform and activate leading citizens and policy makers towards the strategy needed to re-align our nation from the shackles of the rules-based order’s collapsing monetarist system, towards the new paradigm exemplified by the BRICS/New Silk Road orientation of win-win cooperation […]

There have been many times in the history of this country when we have seen tremendous outbursts of anger, but most of those faded fairly quickly.  For example, the rioting that we witnessed in the aftermath of the death of George Floyd was horrifying, but it only lasted for a matter of weeks.  This time […]

Disagreement has become an extremely sensitive issue lately; it was once thought that debate was an essential component to a strong and healthy democracy, however, we are now told that it is extremely dangerous, in fact, it may soon be categorised as a form of domestic terrorism. [This article was originally published January 27, 2021.] […]

Far from being bogged down by the foreign-backed terrorist-designated TPLF and thus becoming isolated from the rest of the world like the US-led Western Mainstream Media falsely claims, Ethiopia is actively engaging with the world’s leading countries in order to accelerate the global systemic transition to multipolarity. Ethiopian Ambassador to Russia Alemayehu Tegenu Aargau told Sputnik on […]

EU nations are split on the Ukraine, with some member states opposing a new aid package, Kiev’s finance minister has said. Marchenko also lamented that while Ukraine needs €5 billion ($5.05 billion) every month, Kiev has been receiving much less than this so far, adding that now the EU wants to know exactly how Kiev […]

On May 11 The New York Times ran an article documenting that all was not going well for the U.S. in Ukraine, and a companion opinion piece hinting that a shift in direction might be in order. Then on May 19, the editorial board, the full Magisterium of the Times, moved from hints to a clarion call for a change […]

May and early June 2022 saw the development of an aggravation trend, continuing the course described in a previous article on this topic. On May 25, just one day after US President Joe Biden completed his Asian trip, North Korea fired three ballistic missiles. This was the 17th launch since the beginning of this year. All […]

Ukraine has asked Israel for a loan of $500 million in a bid to overcome the impact of the ongoing war with Russia, according to Israeli media reports from 14 June. The loan request was reportedly submitted to Tel Aviv by Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal two weeks ago. The request by Kiev comes at a […]

There is great speculation about the possible resumption of the construction of the canal linking the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean, an idea that has come back to life since the reestablishment of Sino-Nicaraguan diplomatic relations. The article focuses on the significance of the Chinese ambassador’s arrival in Nicaragua in June 2022, and the […]

A recession is coming! A recession is coming! This rallying cry is quickly turning into the baseline scenario for many financial institutions on Wall Street. After the incredible May consumer price index (CPI) report defied market expectations, investors are now panicking that the Federal Reserve will turn extra hawkish to fight inflation while triggering consecutive quarterly contractions. […]

After Senegalese President Macky Sall’s visit to Russia on June 3 and Vladimir Putin’s extended interview published on the same day, in which he declared Russia’s readiness to do everything in its power to ensure the export of Ukrainian grain, the subject seemed to have been exhausted. On June 8, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov […]

Globalization advocates had just recreated Marxist central planning with a somewhat more flexible global model in which massive corporations bridged global barriers to create the most efficient possible means of moving goods and services around the planet. Borders would come down and cultural exchanges would make us all one ushering in the great union of […]

Propaganda was so compellingly laundered as “truth” that Western policymakers began operating upon its false premises. President Putin’s keynote speech at this year’s Saint Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) was full of impressively deep insight that can’t be adequately summarized in a single article. All that can be done is to draw attention to certain points in […]

Walt Garlington In many ways the United States are nothing more than a dreadful lump of decayed matter seething with spiritual confusion.  It would seem as though there were no hope for their recovery of a normal, healthy human life of body and soul.  But no one is without hope; repentance, a new beginning, is […]

In 2010, Cuba’s former President Fidel Castro said: “López Obrador will be the person with the most moral and political authority in Mexico when the system collapses and, with it, the empire.” He was referring to Andrés Manuel López Obrador (known as AMLO), who is the current president of Mexico and head of the Morena […]

Representatives of Afghanistan have been invited to this year’s St Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF). Their delegation will be represented by Jamal Nasir Garwa, Chargé d’Affaires a.i. of Kabul in Moscow.

When people talk about Asia, they do not generally mean Australia. After all, it is the largest part of a theoretically separate continent, Oceania, and its people are white and British in origin for the most part. However Oceania is a cultural term as much as anything. It refers to places where there a mix […]

VLADIVOSTOK, June 9. /TASS/. Water area around Kuril Islands, abandoned by Japanese fishermen will soon be occupied by Russian fishing companies, Deputy Prime Minister and Presidential Plenipotentiary in the Far Eastern Federal District Yury Trutnev said at a plenary meeting of the Far East media summit.

A senior Chinese economist at a U.S.-China forum proposed that Beijing take over Taiwan and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.

Washington insists its Ukraine policy hasn’t changed, amid media reports that US officials are unhappy with Kiev’s maximalist rhetoric. Kiev says it won’t back down, encouraged by Washington’s weapons. As high-ranking White House officials argued the conflict in Ukraine has to have a diplomatic solution, media outlets close to US intelligence reported on Thursday of […]

The European Council president does his best to spin an anti-Russian narrative, but it falls apart upon a closer look. European Council President Charles Michel made a “passionate” anti-Russian speech at the UN Security Council, but his points were flawed. Earlier this week, the Russian Ambassador to the United Nations National Security Council Vassily Nebenzia […]

India is projected to become the second largest producer of Covid-19 vaccines in the world, providing them not only for its own population, but for other developing nations, analysts say. The South Asian nation was producing around 60 percent of the world’s vaccines even before the Covid-19 pandemic, and the production capacities of Indian pharma […]

Ukraine’s NAZI connection, and the British national cover-up. Jim W. Dean’s introduction:  The so-called Western democracies are having their dark undersides revealed via their involvement in the Ukraine war, which began with their decision to train and back the 2014 Kiev’s coup plotters. Yes, the national plotters have national immunity, but that does not absolve […]

Inflation accelerated again in May, defying expectations that price hikes had peaked earlier this year. Prices faced by U.S. consumers rose 8.6 percent in May, defying expectations that inflation had peaked in March and indicating that the Federal Reserve’s task of bringing it back under control will be more challenging than officials anticipated. Compared with April, […]

Fits long pattern of war-mongering and provocations that are a feature of the American Century When U.S. President Joe Biden speaks about war and peace, we have to listen carefully whether we like it or not. Regarding Taiwan, when asked in Tokyo on May 23 if he was “willing to get involved militarily to defend […]

The evidence that Russia is mostly unaffected by NATO sanctions continues to mount.  While some in the mainstream media claimed that Russian oil revenues would collapse this year along with their currency, it appears that the opposite has happened.  Russia’s currency is stable and their oil industry is thriving. Russia has recently replaced Saudi Arabia […]

We need to overcome the post-World War II world model. All nations have the right to exist, and their internal market must be respected. Today’s biggest challenge is to overcome the post-World War II world model. Germany, Italy, and Japan are still countries occupied by the United States, and it interferes directly and indirectly in […]

The United Nations was forced to delete a weird ‘satirical’ article which celebrated the ‘benefits’ of world hunger after an online backlash. Originally published in 2008, the article, titled ‘The Benefits of World Hunger’, was recently reposted to the UN’s Chronicle magazine. “We sometimes talk about hunger in the world as if it were a […]

Well that escalated quickly. Apart from crude oil, almost all asset classes were clubbed like baby seals today as event risk anxiety (ahead of FOMC) combined with OpEx technicals ($3.4 trillion options expiration) and European ‘fragmentation’ fears and all the usual geo-political, geo-economic factors that are holding back the dip-buyers as the S&P drops into a bear […]

Leonid Savin On May 12, the Prime Minister and the President of Finland officially announced that they had decided to apply for NATO membership. Presumably, no referendum on this issue will be held, everything will be decided in a voluntary way through the current authorities. One should ask the question – was Finland really a […]

Less than a week ago, we wrote that “As Yen Crash Accelerates, It Puts Catastrophic End Of MMT Experiment In The Spotlight” a less than cheerful assessment about the endgame in Japan echoed on Monday morning by Bloomberg, which wrote that “Japan Starting to Crack as Yen Tumbles With Stocks and Bonds” in which it wrote […]

Useful European idiots “ Washington and London have drawn ´useful European idiots´ into an economic war against Russia ” – said former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev – adding that “the onset of a systemic crisis in the Eurozone is beginning to come true.” He added that Anglo-Saxons on both sides of the Atlantic conned EU members “like […]

Fiddle Didi in Shangri-LaLaLand Apologies, but this is going to be an inflated Daily today: hopefully it still adds value rather than subtracting it. Today has the BOE’s inflation attitudes survey (“I don’t like it”), but the market’s primary focus is going to be US CPI. As should have been expected from recent comments on […]

Just about every lousy U.S. foreign policy escapade from the 1950s to the late ‘70s traces back to the CIA. From the catastrophic1953 coup of Iranian president Mohammad Mossadegh, the 1954 regime change of Guatemalan president Jacobo Arbenz for daring to step on United Fruit’s toes, the Bay of Pigs fiasco, the many, some of […]

Military activity on all sides has been increasing in northern Syria. Turkish forces are increasing their presence and the pace of operations against Kurdish held territory north of Aleppo and to the east along the Turkish-Syrian border in what may lead up to a major military operation.

“While it is the duty of the citizen to support the state, it is not the duty of the state to support the citizen”  – President Grover Cleveland After two centuries of debasement the Roman denarius ended up with no silver content. The decline of the empire was accompanied by increasingly costly bureaucracy, stifling the […]

If you want to understand why the UK and Canada are so hard over in their support for Ukraine, you have to look back to the end of World War II. Ukrainians were recruited and inducted into the Waffen-SS Division “Galicia”, which was formed by the Nazis in mid-1943 in World War II in order […]

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, one of the richest men in the world, would owe some $2 billion a year in state taxes if Washington state legislators pass a proposed wealth tax. The bill (pdf) would impose a one percent tax on financial intangible assets, exempting the first $1 billion of assessed value. Bezos’s net worth […]

Through the combination of food and fuel exports (as well as planned pipeline cooperation such as is the case with Pakistan), the Kremlin has successfully leveraged its status as a commodities superpower to make strategic inroads in one of Eurasia’s most dynamic regions, which is accelerating the global systemic transition to multipolarity. Russia’s “Return to […]

The coming of the new G8 points to the inevitable advent of BRICS +, one of the key themes to be discussed in the upcoming BRICS summit in China. The speaker of the Duma, Vyacheslav Volodin, may have created the defining acronym for the emerging multipolar world: “the new G8”. As Volodin noted, “the United States […]

DUBLIN – Bono is again in the news for his political activism. At the behest of Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky, the Irish rockstar and frontman of U2 traveled to Kiev, where he performed a few songs with Ukrainian soldiers inside the Khreshchatyk metro station to a crowd of around 100 people – most of whom were journalists. After […]

The former US president has a five-point lead over the incumbent ahead of a possible clash in 2024. Former US President Donald Trump has scored an early lead over incumbent Joe Biden in a potential 2024 election rematch, according to a new Emerson College poll.  The survey was conducted on June 28-29 and puts support for […]

The insight shared in this analysis should lead to a fundamental rethinking of how observers understand Israel’s contemporary foreign policy as well as its envisioned role in the global systemic transition to multipolarity. Axios reported last week that Israel refused a US request for it to greenlight the transfer to Ukraine of anti-tank missiles that it […]

When the critical moment called for a true statesman, Ukraine has given the world a comedian, and that has made all the difference. It’s no coincidence that the Ukrainian showman finds himself presiding over 44 million souls at this critical juncture in world history. Kiev’s Western handlers supported this comedian precisely because – not despite […]

Finian Cunningham interviews Matt Robson who served as a Cabinet minister in the Labour government from 1999 to 2002 during which time he strongly advocated for the country to follow an independent foreign policy and non-alignment with any military blocs. Former New Zealand government minister Matt Robson tells Strategic Culture Foundation that his country is being […]

If we determine to imagine the world as machine, then ‘reality’ will present itself as a machine, Alastair Crooke writes. For the last four hundred years, west Europeans have lived one very particular ‘vision’; one that stands poles-apart from that which went earlier. As Galileo pursued his experimentation in Italy, it was Francis Bacon who […]

It’s Not A Conspiracy Theory’ – “It’s in their mission statement. They openly brag about it. This is everybody’s worst nightmare.” Senator Rand Paul appeared on Fox News Thursday and discussed the ongoing World Economic Forum gathering in Davos Switzerland, remarking that it is not a conspiracy theory to suggest the organisation is seeking a one world government, […]

The “collective West” and many NATO countries have finally begun to receive objective information on the goals and results of Russia’s special military operation to denazify Ukraine. Instead of openly Russophobic coverage of these events by representatives of the current military-political elite of the EU and NATO and, above all, the United States, the true […]

Russia is radically changing on the inside — liberal Western sympathizing Russians are either reassessing their views, or keeping quiet, or leaving the country. Meanwhile, traditional Christians from all over the globe are leaving their home countries and flocking to Russia — the new leader of the free world. A clairvoyant holy elder of Russia […]

The top Ukrainian official who was fired for spreading misinformation has admitted that she lied about Russians committing mass rape in order to convince western countries to send more weapons to Ukraine.

On Friday Turkey lashed out at a series of positions the EU summit in Brussels took regarding territorial disputes with Greece in the Aegean and Mediterranean – specifically on drilling rights and Ankara’s charge that Greece is “militarizing” its islands in violation of historic treaties, an accusation which the EU has not backed. This also […]

Earlier this year Russia alleged that Ukraine and the United States were developing biological weapons. The development of these weapons has been banned since the signing of a convention on the topic in 1971. These reports are all dismissed by the Western mainstream media that alleged it was Russian disinformation. Unfortunately for the Western media […]

The top seller on Amazon for books devoted to war and peace as of this writing, Scott Horton’s newest offering, Hotter than the Sun: Time to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, is a timely must read.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, during his visit to Saudi Arabia on May 31, said that the Gulf country has shown interest in the BRICS group, which has recently reached consensus on an expansion process.

Not for the first time, Syria has been forced to halt all flights from its largest commercial international airport following fresh Israeli airstrikes.  “Syria on Friday halted flights to and from Damascus International Airport, the transport ministry said, after Israeli airstrikes damaged a runway, according to sources,” the AFP reports. Syrian officials said the temporary […]

The Summit of the Americas is not the property of the host nation. The U.S. has no right to exclude, Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela, but has done so in disregard of their sovereignty. The U.S. is not fit to judge others or to be responsible for bringing nations together. Every leader in the hemisphere should boycott […]
