What if all the new consensus memes are as wrong as the ones they replaced? I have the Contrarian Curse, and I have it bad. The Contrarian Curse is: as soon as the herd adopts your previously contrarian view, you start questioning the new consensus, just as you questioned the previous consensus. Example #1: fiat currencies […]

Despite know-nothing, buy-anything market expectations that peace talks would prompt a rapid end to this war –because markets– we are no nearer that happening. Russia is still insisting Ukraine surrender or be flattened: so far, it won’t do and is being. Russian media calls Ukraine Nazi… as Russians wear the same color shirt with ‘Z’s […]

Around 450 militants from the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) armed group, a re-branded Jabhat al-Nusra (the Syrian branch of Al-Qaeda), arrived in Ukraine on 8 March to fight against the Russian army. They reportedly left Idlib governorate in northern Syria only three days ago, entering Ukraine after passing through Turkey. The militants consist of Arab […]

The Russian representative on the UN Security Council Vassily Nebenzia has charged that a “US-implemented program” of biological research in Ukraine may have triggered “uncontrolled dangerous infections in Ukraine”, including rubella, diphtheria, tuberculosis, measles, polio, and swine flu. “By March 2016, a total of 364 people died of swine flu in Ukraine,” Nebenzia claimed. “While the US […]

On March 8, the European Parliament adopted a resolution on fighting “racism” in culture, education, media, and sport. The text is a mishmash of ethnic demands peppered with woke language about “uprooting structural racism,” the need to collect “equality data,” and adopting an “intersectional approach to policymaking.” The resolution was overwhelmingly adopted by Members of the European […]

Saudi Arabia’s execution of 81 people at the weekend is a sharp reminder of the need to challenge Britain’s hypocritical foreign policy. Boris Johnson is reportedly planning to travel to the Gulf kingdom this week to plead for increased oil production to make up for the impact of sanctions against Russian oil following Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. Yet […]

New sanctions against China would leave Beijing less reason to forebear in strategic matters including Taiwan. Note: “Observer” columnist Chen Feng points to what he considers fundamental areas of weakness in the US position: The deindustrialization of the US economy, America’s dependence on debt, and an accelerating shift of US dollar trade settlement and reserves […]

The development of COVID-19 vaccines is one of the few successes during a pandemic that saw major failures in public health strategy and treatments. While the vaccines can’t prevent transmission, they have reduced mortality. Before the pandemic, there was almost universal trust in vaccines, and vaccine skeptics were a small but vocal minority. With a life-saving […]

So Russian President Vladimir Putin is a “thug and a murderous dictator.” That is the judgement of President of the United States Joe Biden, delivered directly to Putin during a phone conversation, and it is backed up by a unanimous vote in the US Senate endorsing Biden’s more recently expressed view that Putin is also […]

Russia has repeatedly warned foreign countries against allowing their citizens to travel to Ukraine in order to take part in the hostilities, stressing that anyone firing at Russian troops during the special op will be considered a valid target. According to an official statement by the Russian Ministry of Defence, high-precision missiles were used to […]

As Americans ingest the constant feed of dire reports and heartbreaking photographs from the war in Ukraine, it behooves us to look at Europe’s views of a European conflict. First, these views are far from harmonious; there is, as the English Russia scholar Richard Sakwa has said, “no strategic European Union vision” on Ukraine – […]

A top Russian diplomat said Saturday that Moscow has informed U.S. officials that it views Western arms shipments to Ukraine as “legitimate targets” for military attacks, heightening fears of a direct confrontation between the nuclear-armed powers. “We warned the United States that the orchestrated pumping of weapons from a number of countries is not just a […]

“War is a racket,” wrote US Maj. General Smedley Butler in 1935. He explained: “A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small ‘inside’ group knows what it is about. .”It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, […]

  While America’s ruling regime engages in a war on wrongthink, targeting perceived enemies—including those it sometimes resorts to creating—with all its might, actual enemies of the republic continue to be able to plot, plan, and sometimes strike. Consider a few recent stories that illustrate this point and their ramifications. Several weeks ago in a Michigan court, […]

For Russia to step into this trap, fully aware, means that Ukrainian conflict is envisioned in a wider operational theatre, for which this conflict is just a tactical engagement. Just as in the Kursk Battle, the argument for the Russian army to engage in Ukraine, against the far stronger Western military axis, can only be […]

Especially in the realities of globalism, if Scotland wants to survive – we must have a strong state economy, based on our oil and gas resources, offshore energy, housing program and public transport, all with the Scottish pound secured on national assets. Since early fall I am not able anymore to send a letter from […]

Paige Herwig, Senior Counsel to President Joe Biden and former dark money group Demand Justice employee, is leading Biden’s Supreme Court nominee selection process. Demand Justice is a dark money group with founding ties to the 1630 Fund, a member of the left-wing dark money network that Arabella Advisors runs. The 1630 Fund spent nearly $60 million […]

Russian grandmaster Sergey Karjakin has vowed to set up a new chess organization to rival international governing body FIDE after it slapped the star with a six-month ban due to his support of Moscow’s military campaign in Ukraine. Sergey Karjakin announced his ambitions following a six-month suspension from FIDE. FIDE announced on March 16 that it was […]

WASHINGTON (AP) — The ruble is no longer rubble. The Russian ruble by Wednesday had bounced back from the fall it took after the U.S. and European allies moved to bury the Russian economy under thousands of new sanctions over its invasion of Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin has resorted to extreme financial measures to blunt […]

From the times of ancient Kievan Rus to World War II and into the present day, Donbass has always been an indispensable part of Russia’s historical identity. Russian President Putin gave his annual Victory Day speech on Monday where he concisely summarized the importance of the Ukrainian Conflict. US-led Western observers were hyping it up by speculating […]

The UK’s Online Safety Bill is an authoritarian nightmare. The internet has changed radically in the past decade or so. Where social-media giants once boasted about being ‘the free speech wing of the free speech party’, in recent years, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other platforms have become increasingly censorious, cracking down on dissenting views and […]

President warns that Russia won’t hesitate to use ‘weapons that no other country’ possesses to defend itself. Russian president Vladimir Putin has warned outside forces against interfering in the Ukrainian conflict, promising a “lightning-speed” response to such actions, with the use of Moscow’s most advanced weaponry. “If someone decides to intervene into the ongoing events from the […]

Few matters are so important as the integrity of the information we receive and the recent degradation in its reliability. The recent leak of a Supreme Court draft related to the landmark Roe v. Wade abortion case underscores how corrupted so many of our important institutions have become by those dedicated to shaping public opinion […]

Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine gives this civilization-state a chance to defend its independence and sovereignty that are under existential threat by the US-led West. In preserving his Great Power’s geostrategic existence, President Putin is actually attempting to retain some semblance of stability in the increasingly destabilized world that’s been thrown into chaos by […]

Тhe most profound seismic shift in the global monetary bedrock is happening right before our eyes, and no one seems to notice or care. Eventually, they will have to. No sooner was it that I wrote an article talking about how Russia was going to back the ruble with gold than “one of the Russia’s most powerful […]

6th of May 2022 Daria Platonova Lorenzo Maria Pacini We interviewed, exclusively, Darya Platonova Dugina, philosopher graduated from Moscow State University, specialised in Neoplatonism, able political commentator and daughter of Professor Aleksandr Dugin. The interview was made originally bilingual (Italian and Russian), in order to be diffused also to the Russian-speaking public. Daria, first of […]

Governor Vladimir Saldo revealed that Kherson Region is accelerating its reunification with Russia by already using the ruble, emulating its historic homeland’s administrative-economic models, returning the Russian language to its rightful role, and correcting the Neo-Nazis’ falsehoods that were included in school textbooks. The US-led West went wild speculating what President Putin might declare during […]

A New York Times reporter has been recorded on video by Project Veritas essentially admitting that the Jan. 6 Capitol Building ‘riot’ was little more than a false flag staged by the worthless FBI because there were “a ton” of informants in the crowd. In addition, Pulitzer Prize-winning Times journalist Matthew Rosenberg also blasted the left-wing media’s overreaction to, […]

Jessica Buxbaum uncovers how the Institute for Curriculum Services, which boasts of its reach in all 50 states, is twisting the truth about the Israeli occupation in US schools. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA  –  In 2018, the Virginia Coalition for Human Rights (VCHR) successfully stopped the state from adopting textbook edits made by the Institute for Curriculum […]

A Great Reset will happen, just not the one intended by the Globalists. They may have to settle for the Great Decoupling instead. The green economy, de-industrialisation, digital health passports, Central Bank digital currencies, these are all core components of the Globalists’ plan for the Great reset. The WEF has painted a picture of their […]

It’s vital to think through the consequences of the dollar losing its status as the world’s reserve currency. Will Joe Biden oversee the collapse of the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency? Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell appears to think it’s a possibility, based on his recent quip: “It’s possible to have more than […]

The “rules-based international order” – as in “our way or the highway” – is unraveling much faster than anyone could have predicted. The Eurasia Economic Union (EAEU) and China are starting to design a new monetary and financial system bypassing the U.S. dollar, supervised by Sergei Glazyev and intended to compete with the Bretton Woods […]

Every day, the American and European public is subjected to a barrage of information telling them what they should think about the events in Ukraine now moving into the 3rd month of conflict since Putin launched his military intervention on February 24th. From CNN, BBC, Fox News and everything in between, streams of talking heads perform […]

28 Russian cities will see military parades on the 77th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War. Over 65,000 persons will take part in them and about 2,400 armament and materiel units will be presented.   The Victory Day will be traditionally celebrated in Russian cities with parades and fireworks. ‘Immortal Regiment’ marches […]

Serbia on Saturday publicly displayed a recently delivered Chinese anti-aircraft missile system, raising concerns in the West and among some of Serbia’s neighbors that an arms buildup in the Balkans could threaten fragile peace in the region. The sophisticated HQ-22 surface-to-air system was delivered last month by a dozen Chinese Air Force Y-20 transport planes […]

The key western investors and “market-makers”: Buffett and Munger Pillory Bitcoin at annual Berkshire AGM (photo). There is nothing sadder than watching those who inspired you during your education in contrarianism degenerate into mummified shills for a morally bankrupt status quo. The Berkshire-Hathaway AGM was this past Saturday, and Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger didn’t sugarcoat […]

Bill Gross, the PIMCO founder and longtime “Bond King” of Wall Street, has likely grown accustomed to critical portrayals in the press, following his widely publicized dispute with a Laguna Beach neighbor (Gross published his own account of the aftermath which is definitely worth a read for the entertainment value alone), and after the recent publication of […]

Who are you going to believe, the Democratic Party’s new official-unofficial, public-private monopoly tech platform censorship brigade, or your misinformed, disinformed eyes? In the past five years, a cadre of fact-checkers has marched through the institutions of journalism and installed itself in the U.S. media as a privatized, quasi-governmental regulatory agency. What’s wrong with facts, […]

Dr. D again: “Russia is going to crush the whole West. But that’s not Russia’s fault: the entire West is so rotten it’s barely been standing for decades now, and certainly since ’08.” Dr. D: Coverage of the war in Ukraine is very spotty and polarized. The news has been shut off, universally censored in the […]

A missile strike has destroyed a major Ukrainian arms depot hosting a large batch of weapons supplied to Kiev by the West, Moscow has said. Russia says its missiles struck an arms depot in the Ukrainian city of Zaporozhye. A large batch of weapons and ammunition shipped to Kiev by Western countries was destroyed in […]

If you get the feeling that all this Ukraine flag-waving is one more vapid mainstream propaganda initiative used to manufacture consent for an agenda that has nothing to do with what you’re being told, it’s because that’s exactly what is happening. ❖ In this war Russia has killed many Ukrainians and Ukraine has killed many […]

We’re in the final countdown to British Home Secretary Priti Patel’s decision on the fate of Julian Assange, with the WikiLeaks founder’s extradition to the United States due to be approved or rejected by the end of the month. Joe Lauria has a new article out with Consortium News on the various pressures that Patel is being […]

A legal, political and constitutional plan to restore President Trump to the White House, writes Roger Stone. Despite the fact that there is massive evidence of irregularities, anomalies, and voter fraud in the swing states in the 2020 election it is now clear that no state or federal court, no state or federal legislative body, […]

As we hydroplane toward the brink of nuclear armageddon while Bono and the Edge play U2 songs in Kiev, it’s probably worth taking a moment to highlight the fact that this entire war could have been avoided if the US had simply pledged military protection for Zelensky against the far right extremists who were threatening […]

With proponents of military intervention and war, it’s always 1938, and every attempt to substitute diplomacy for escalation and war is “appeasement.”  Last week, for example, Ukrainian legislator Lesia Vasylenko accused Western leaders of appeasement during Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, stating, “This is the same as 1938 when also the world and the United States in particular were averting […]

Elon Musk has finally managed to buy Twitter. And the moment he did, the enraged Left flipped out. Abruptly leftists began trashing their favorite electronic communications platform as the domain of the nation’s elite, professional classes. Had they just discovered that they had been racists and privileged users all this time? And what happened to […]

Leonid Savin The military operation of Russia in Ukraine, which began on February 24, came as a surprise both to the citizens of Russia and to other states. Especially for distant states, which have always perceived Ukraine and Russia as neighboring friendly and fraternal countries. And tourists who came to Ukraine and Russia only saw […]

Prognosis Positive or Negative? Besides a bond-market rally (US yields down around 10bps across the curve), an inevitable ‘nothing-else-to-do-and-need-to-justify-my-job-so-buy-the-dip’ US stock rally, and China slowing down the fall in CNY and CNH with a policy tweak, there were other things of note yesterday. Indeed, in multiple dimensions, the outlook is now positive and yet equally […]

  At Monday’s routine news conference of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, the spokesperson for the ministry rebutted the US’ inconsistent and flawed responses regarding its biological laboratories in Ukraine, urging a full clarification of its bio-military activities within and outside its borders. When a BBC reporter asked that the US claims seem to suggest that […]

Over the past twenty years, the United States has increasingly tried to claim that Washington does not believe in spheres of influence and that only supposedly imperialist states like Russia are interested in spheres of influence. This has always been nonsense, of course, especially since Washington’s Monroe Doctrine explicitly claims a sphere of influence for the […]

The grand strategic convergence between Russia and Pakistan in Central Asia will immensely strengthen the SCO’s capabilities, which will in turn empower their shared visions for Eurasia, especially in its Heartland. The Multipolar World Order (MWO) that’s actively taking shape at an accelerated pace following Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine and broad swathes of the Global South’s principled neutrality towards that conflict […]

Civilians in Volnovakha, a town just recently on the frontline of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, have to do what they can to survive. RT visited civilians surviving in the blasted-through buildings and basements of a town hit hard by the conflict in Ukraine. “God preserve you!” says an elderly Volnovakha resident to departing volunteers. She and her […]

Another example is the far better-known case of the U.S. and UK and Swedish and Australian Governments’ jointly having imprisoned the Australian citizen Julian Assange already for more than ten years while never having convicted him of anything at all (other than of his once having violated a non-jury court’s allowed procedures on a made-up […]

The EU’s Digital Services Act, a new law regulating how online platforms moderate content, could incentivize tech companies to censor Americans’ speech online, experts say. “Companies will, at least initially, take a position that encourages more curation than less curation,” Joel Thayer, president of the Digital Progress Institute, told the Daily Caller News Foundation, adding […]

Australian media outlets are trying to dissociate the cardiovascular injuries suffered by vaccinated people from the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines, linking them instead to “genetic mutations.” One reporter, Gabriella Rogers of Nine News, tackled this issue in one of her stories. She featured the tale of Sydney resident Liza Stearn, who experienced spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD). The […]

Joe Biden has made it clear from the beginning of his presidential campaign that he’s all in on the green agenda. That would be killing fossils fuels – despite the clean and cost-effective processes that are used to obtain their energy these days – and diving headfirst into wind power and solar power and the […]

Amnesty International senior manager claimed that Israel should not be preserved as a Jewish state. Amnesty International has revealed its “true face,” the country responded. Israel should not be preserved as a Jewish state, the Amnesty International US Director Paul O’Brien said, according to outlet The Jewish Insider. Speaking on Wednesday to a Women’s National […]

Everybody and their brother is an expert on inflation now. And everybody thinks they can pinpoint the reason for rising prices. It’s Putin! Or maybe it’s greedy corporations. Or was it COVID? As Ron Paul explains, it was none of the above. The blame for this inflationary fire falls squarely on the shoulders of Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. The […]

OneWorld is publishing the speech that Andrew Korybko gave during Friday’s press conference on the International Public Tribunal for Ukraine that was hosted by RIA Novosti. Hello, and thank you for inviting me to attend this important conference. My colleagues have already described the many documented human rights abuses committed by the US-backed Kiev’s fascists […]

The objective socio-economic interests of the Baloch people are inextricably connected with their government’s Chinese-backed plans to comprehensively develop this de facto feudalist province, not in splitting from Pakistan in order to impose a neo-feudalist system upon its already very impoverished population. The so-called “Baloch Liberation Army” (BLA) claimed responsibility for the suicide bombing in Karachi on […]

Even in an era of moral decline of the autochthonous population, the rulers of the Roman Empire relied on mercenaries when military service turned from prestigious to onerous for their own citizens. The Persians also relied during the crisis of their empire on Greek mercenaries, who represented the most combat-ready troops of Darius III in […]

With diesel prices remaining elevated — forcing significant costs onto shippers and trucking companies — the impact of fuel costs on inflation could put a dent in consumer spending, according to experts. Economist Anirban Basu said the elevated price of diesel fuel damages the near-term U.S. economic outlook and “renders the chance of recession in […]

While in no way excusing Russia’s criminal invasion, NATO expansion eastward increased its likelihood. Although we’ll never know if the war would not have happened under different circumstances, after a month of Russian violence against Ukraine the two countries’ negotiators have reportedly agreed that it will reject joining NATO as part of a peace pact. Russia has […]

US GDP contracted in Q1. The stock market has been tanking. The inflationary fire continues to burn. As Peter Schiff explained in his podcast, this all signals a recession. And yet the Federal Reserve is on track to raise interest rates. How is this going to work? Friday was a bad day for stocks, closing […]

Russia just showed that it has the resolve to defend its forces from those deadly weapons that NATO is pumping into Ukraine even if foreign instructors might have been present at that bloc’s de facto base on the Polish border. President Putin wasn’t playing around when he warned the world during his 24 February address to […]

Ankara has not obtained formal government approval from Baghdad for its military operations on Iraqi soil, making their presence illegal. Turkish warplanes bombed positions held by militants from the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) on 2 May inside Iraq’s semi-autonomous Kurdistan region. Al Mayadeen reported that the airstrikes targeted the outskirts of Amadiya town during the […]

Putin: ‘unfriendly states will pay Russia in Rubles for natural gas. Putin ordered the Russian Central Bank to develop a system for payments in rubles within a week.

Cycles often repeat throughout history: booms and busts, highs and lows, ascending and descending empires. As an expert on generational cycles, Neil Howe joins Blockworks Co-founder Mike Ippolito on this week’s episode of “On The Margin” to discuss what the cycles of history tell us about America’s next rendezvous with destiny. As the author of […]

In 2018, the U.S. Department of the Interior released a list of 35 critical minerals. A new list, released in February 2022, contains 15 more commodities. In addition, the 2022 list of critical minerals adds nickel and zinc to the list while removing helium, potash, rhenium, and strontium. The U.S. aims to cut its greenhouse gas […]

Another deadly “side effect” of Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) “vaccination” has been unearthed, and it spells disaster for future generations. It turns out that the experimental drugs trigger “germ line modifications” to female eggs and male sperm. To make a long story short, Fauci Flu shots appear to cause female infertility in the next generation. Before the […]

Lavrov’s latest TV remarks prove that Russia’s stance towards the EU has evolved from considering it a partner to a potential “frenemy” to a NATO-controlled American proxy against his country. This was a long time in the making and can most directly be traced to the EU and especially Germany’s duplicitous role in the 2014 […]

The spewing of Sinophobic propaganda across the South Pacific will have an adverse effect on those societies’ stability, which will in turn ultimately work against Australia’s objectively existing national security interests too. The tragedy is that instead of condemning this, Labor is actively colluding with the Liberals to have it happen. Australia’s Labor Party hopes […]

Former President Donald Trump is leading President Joe Biden in a head-to-head matchup as Americans continue to face rampant inflation and record-breaking gas prices in the second year of the Democrat’s presidency, a Redfield & Wilton Strategies survey released Thursday found. The survey found Biden’s approval in the net negatives — 47 percent disapproving and 37 percent […]

The “Gell-Mann Amnesia effect” was coined by Michael Crichton, MD to describe the experience of encountering unreliable information in main stream media and the “approved narrative” in your area of expertise, and knowing by first person experience that this narrative is wrong. And then suspending your own critical thinking skills and trusting these same type of […]

“The ‘positive’ effects” of imperialism “are often only positive for the oppressors,” said 15-year-old Cece Walsh. A Massachusetts student’s response to a homework assignment went viral Tuesday after the high schooler refused to list “positive effects of imperialism” but included a long list of its negative impacts on communities throughout history. Cece Walsh, a 15-year-old student […]

Global supply shocks are historically rare events. All the more extraordinary to have two such shocks in quick succession – the second arriving even before the first has entirely faded away. That is what the world now experiences in the form of the Great Pandemic followed by the Great West-Russia economic war. The most visible […]

OneWorld is publishing the full commentary that Andrew Korybko recently gave to PolitRus about the manipulative psychological dimensions of the US’ infowar on Russia, which were included in an article published on their site titled “Американский политолог Корыбко: Россия, Украина и Запад меняются ролями в треугольнике Карпмана”. The Karpman Triangle concept presents an intriguing model […]

Klaus Schwab and his globalist minions at the World Economic Forum (WEF) eyed the coronavirus pandemic to initiate The Great Reset, an international reshuffling of the global order. But the public health crisis may have merely planted the seeds to restructuring everything we have become accustomed to in this worldwide economy. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine might […]

Russia’s recognition of the independence of the LPR and DPR caused some confusion in Tel Aviv, where at first nobody was in a hurry to make a statement. Moreover, after intense consultations in Israel’s Foreign Ministry and National Security Council, local officials were forbidden to provide comments by the ruling coalition, leaving the Jewish nation-state in a very uneasy situation. […]

Belying the predictions of western media, Russia’s special operation in Ukraine is entering a successful endgame on the political and diplomatic track much sooner than one would have thought. A close reading of the outcome of the 3rd round of peace talks in Belarus last night is that the Ukrainian negotiators have sought some more […]

Ordinary people in Russia and Ukraine shouldn’t be blamed for the conflict, Paulo Coelho has said. The trend took some ridiculous forms like an Italian university dropping a course on the works of iconic 19th-century writer Fyodor Dostoevsky from its curriculum, and Russian cats and dogs being barred from taking part in exhibitions abroad. Best-selling […]

The only antidote to propaganda dementia is served by sparse voices of reason, which happen to be Russian, thus silenced and/or dismissed. Especially since the onset of GWOT (Global War on Terror) at the start of the millennium, no one ever lost money betting against the toxic combo of hubris, arrogance and ignorance serially deployed […]

The tragic events of September 11, 2001 changed our world permanently. Although those who staged those events have not yet been identified, Washington unequivocally declared a “war on terror”, directed at the overthrow of Al Qaeda (a terrorist organization banned in Russia) and the Taliban regime (banned in Russia), supported by American satellites. But it is […]

FBI documents back up Putin’s claims that the Azov Battalion in Ukraine is indeed a Neo-Nazi group. Putin claimed one of the reasons that Russia invaded Ukraine was to eliminate the Nazis in that country.  Many in the media wondered what he was talking about.  We identified the Azov battalion some time ago and even […]

Let’s discuss plans to bring down inflation. Who has one and who doesn’t.   Chart courtesy of Trading Economics, anecdotes in red by Mish No Plan to Deal With Inflation According to Eugene Daniels, a White House correspondent for Politico, Biden will go after Republicans for not having a plan to deal with inflation. “Expect Biden to […]

We are currently witnessing the greatest change in the geopolitical landscape that has ever occurred in the lives of those alive today. At the end of the Second World War there were two major powers in the world: Russia and the United States. Only one, the United States, then had the atomic bomb, which they […]

The ball’s now in the Rotary Club’s court over how to respond to this indisputable scandal. It can either remain silent and continue procuring military equipment for Kiev and its ‘volunteers’, including that which is being repurposed for lethal ends along the lines of the model pioneered by West Asian and North African terrorist groups […]

Mostly we get lies, spin and obfuscation from central bankers, politicians and bureaucrats. But every once in a while, one of these people accidentally wanders into the truth. IMF Director Kristalina Georgieva did just that during a recent panel discussion hosted by CNBC. She conceded that central banks globally “printed too much money and didn’t […]

In this edition of The Watchdog Podcast, Lowkey talks to Alan MacLeod about Ukraine, how the media is covering the conflict, and the promotion of supposedly “independent” Ukrainian media outlets that are quietly being funded by Western governments. Chief among these is The Kyiv Independent, a newspaper that was barely three months old at the […]

At the outbreak of the First World War, Romain Rolland (1), the French Nobel laureate for literature, spoke out in passionate appeals, articles and letters against the war hysteria and chauvinism of the Germans and the French. Hatred of war, which distances peoples from each other and destroys love, was a leitmotif in Rolland’s work. For him, […]

Nailed it. https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/1503728487840063491 Again: it is impossible for any normal person to understand the implications of what is happening right now. Even I’m having a hard time processing it all, and I’m pretty good at processing deranged lunacy. For most people, the weight of these changes will only be understood in hindsight. RT: The world’s […]

Dr. Francis Boyle, a human rights lawyer and professor of international law at the University of Illinois College of Law, says NATO is using Ukraine to “surround Russia” with biological laboratories and biological weapons to use against them.

  Leonid Savin On April 9, 2022, the majority of Pakistan’s National Assembly voted to dismiss Prime Minister Imran Khan. Although the upper house of parliament had previously been dissolved by President Arif Alvi, the Supreme Court deemed the action unconstitutional, allowing parliamentarians to reconvene for a vote of no confidence. Following the prime minister’s […]

Yemeni President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi has resigned and handed over power to a new body, the President’s Leadership Council (PLC).   He sacked his vice-president Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar in a sudden development believed to have been prompted by new US and Saudi tricks. According to media reports, the kingdom “rewarded” the move by promising $3bn […]

  Dan Goure and David T. Pyne have raised valid questions about how well the US would fare in a military conflict with Russia and China. Not well they conclude. See here and here. Possibly the articles by Dan Goure and David T. Pyne are sincere concerns of military analysts worried about Washington’s unrealistic hubris. […]

Americans once took great pride in the defeat of the Nazi scourge that threatened to run roughshod over the 20th century and beyond. Under the leadership of Franklin Roosevelt, America mobilized not only to heal from the devastation of the Great Depression, but also became a global leader of industrial power supplying the Allies with […]

But nobody thought that it would happen this fast. Empires often follow the course of a Greek tragedy, bringing about precisely the fate that they sought to avoid. That certainly is the case with the American Empire as it dismantles itself in not-so-slow motion. The basic assumption of economic and diplomatic forecasting is that every […]

I have won two Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Awards, been a Pulitzer Prize finalist, published more than 20 books and have seen my political cartoons and columns appear in hundreds of newspapers and magazines. So why do I have Russian state media as one of my clients? I’m on Sputnik News’ website — as a […]

The war criminal responsible for mass murder of millions of innocent people is lauded and praised by establishment foreign policy pundits for her warmongering approach to US responses to crises abroad, many of her statements attracted immense controversy and outrage, particularly the infamous the death of 500,000 Iraqi children caused by USA was “worth it”. […]

A friend insisted that I watch some of the US TV reporting of Russia’s police action in Eastern Ukraine, called a “Russian invasion” by the Western Presstitutes. He said it was such comically infantile war propaganda that he was insulted that the media would think Americans stupid enough to fall for it. To sum it […]

On 20 March 2022, while we were conducting a humanitarian mission near Sartana, on the north-eastern outskirts of Mariupol, we came across many civilians who had recently fled Mariupol thanks to the advance of Russian and DPR (Donetsk People’s Republic) troops. One of them, Nikolay, agreed to talk on camera about the crimes committed by […]

Texaco operations in Ecuador from 1962 to 1994 dumped 70 billion litres of “wastewater”, heavily contaminated with oil and other chemicals, into the Amazon rainforest, plus over 650,000 barrels of crude oil. They polluted over 800,000 hectares. It is one of the worst ecological disasters in history — 30 times greater than the 1989 Exxon […]

Living here within Kolkata and in turn, within the Indian Republic, I realise, now; how this same media machine can alter the very perception of reality for a nation where the median age is 25. A nation where the media is privately owned by huge Corporations that are all at the end of the day, […]

The evidence is undenied and undeniable that, ever since the U.S. government’s coup in Ukraine in February 2014, the Ukrainian government hates and wants to destroy Russians, very much like Adolf Hitler’s Nazis did during WW II. Seven examples of that evidence are provided in: “Nazism of Ukraine’s Western-Backed Government Is Hidden by Western ‘News’ Media” “What […]

Report by Patrick Lancaster, US Navy veteran and independent crowd-funded journalist. Over the 8 years of the Ukraine War I made more video reports in anti-Ukraine Government (Donetsk People’s Republic) controlled territory than any other western journalist. All so covered the Armenian Azerbaijan war reaching over 8 million on his youtube channel with his reports […]

In mid 2007 the Bank for International Settlements (The central bank of central banks) released a statement predicting an impending “Great Depression” caused by a credit market implosion. That same year the International Monetary Fund also published warnings of “subprime woes” leading to wider economic strife. I started writing alternative economic analysis only a year earlier in 2006 and […]

I was once a useful idiot, but intense persecution by the LGBTs cured me of my fear of bucking propaganda narratives and let me see behind the curtain of the elites. There is no shame in being a “useful idiot” on an issue unless you remain one after learning the truth. How do the agents […]

The Solomon Islands have been added to Taiwan and Ukraine, two of the most “heated” zones of the current phase of the “Great Game,” since late March this year. Regarding this state, most readers are unlikely to be able to say anything more or less definitive (if they even know of its existence). This is […]

Leonid Savin During the second week of the military operation in Ukraine, the whole world witnessed an outburst of hatred toward Russians. Not only abstract slogans against Russia, but also specific calls for killings were spread. Quite often such hate speeches turned into actions. In Ireland, a truck rammed the Russian embassy, and in Vancouver, […]

Various health problems reported by people after receiving one of the COVID-19 vaccine shots are more likely caused by the vaccines than being merely coincidental, according to an analysis of data from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). VAERS has been flooded with more than a million reports of various health problems and more […]

President Cyril Ramaphosa says the bloodshed could have been averted if US-led bloc hadn’t increased instability. South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, a potential mediator in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, has faulted NATO for triggering war in the former Soviet republic by expanding eastward onto Moscow’s doorstep. “The war could have been avoided if NATO had heeded […]

Biden’s threat risks “helping to bring about a Taiwan conflict,” said one foreign policy scholar. “Self-injurious and entirely unforced.” Critics of U.S. imperialism sounded the alarm Monday after President Joe Biden said that he would use military force in response to a Chinese invasion of Taiwan. “That’s the commitment we made,” Biden said at a press […]

Continuing the conversation about the team of the President-elect of the Republic of Korea, we’ll discuss those persons whom he expects to be members of the government, since the relevant announcements have been made. It is expected that at least at the end of April, 18 candidates for the ministerial offices will undergo parliamentary hearings on […]

Alexander Dugin Thorough understanding of the special military operation in Ukraine requires a preliminary explanation: what, in the broadest sense of the word, are we dealing with? The concepts of “nation”, “nationality”, “people”, “ethnos” are totally confused, and hence those of “Russians”, “Ukrainians”, “Little Russians”, etc. We should first give an ethno-sociological map and distribute […]

The European Council head, Charles Michel, said Europe should talk to Russia, warning against a conflict between NATO and Moscow. Europe should be pragmatic and talk to “whoever is in the Kremlin,” European Council President Charles Michel says. The EU “is not at war with Russia,” European Council President Charles Michel told El Pais in […]

Although it had been a feature of elections in some parts of the United States for years, the phenomenon of mail-ballot voting exploded in the 2020 election. In the midst of the COVID pandemic, jurisdictions around the country expanded use of mail voting, sometimes sending ballots to every registered voter. Steps were taken to facilitate […]

Corporate US media and foreign policy hardliners want to create a new Afghanistan in the middle of Europe by flooding Ukraine with weapons. The arms industry is very pleased. Following urgent requests for arms from the Ukrainian government, at least 32 countries have announced their intention to ship billions of dollars in weapons into Ukraine […]

A number of public representatives have warned that the European Union is heading towards super-statehood as a result of recent recommendations which would see the bloc seize many powers from national governments. Elected members of the European Union’s parliament have warned that the bloc could be heading towards federal super-statehood thanks to recent recommendations made by […]

Is the real crime the Biden Administration is trying to cover up involving Biolabs the exorbitant amount of money they made in these ventures? We reported this morning that Hunter Biden is connected to the firms involved in the creation of Biolabs in Ukraine.  Hunter’s firm Rosemont Seneca funded much of what firm Metabiota was […]

It might take time for Russia to devise similar alternative solutions with its myriad Global South partners, especially those that aren’t as much of a priority for it as India is, which is why everyone involved might find it much more convenient to simply rely on the Indian bank(s) that could reportedly be used to […]

In his speech to the assembly of national, regional, and district leaders on Russia’s response to the sanctions, Putin first factually describes the situation in Ukraine, how it developed, and Russia’s objective.  It stands in striking contrast to Western propaganda. Putin’s speech is also notable because he acknowledges that Russia has a fifth column that […]

After Emmanuel Macron picked globalism over his country’s interests for five years, his main rival Marine Le Pen is drawing closer. As the French prepare to vote in Sunday’s presidential election, polls show Marine Le Pen inching closer to incumbent Emmanuel Macron. The French are headed to the polls this Sunday, April 10 for the […]

Leonid Savin The United States has the capacity to exert extensive pressure on other countries, not only through bilateral relations but also through subordinate international organisations such as the IMF and the World Bank. While this violates international law, it has become a common practice of preventive diplomacy, that is, threats of subsequent punishment that […]

The Bolivarian Republic is a proudly sovereign nation that espouses the socialist principles of peace, brotherhood, and equitable development, but its ambitious vision has been hamstrung for years by the US’ Hybrid Warfare against it that’s plunged many of its people into poverty, among countless other strategic consequences. Reports have recently circulated that the US […]

The root causes of the economic upheaval most Americans are experiencing right now are the subject of much discussion lately. Is it the Russia-Ukraine conflict? Is it Biden’s closing of the Keystone XL pipeline? Is it the absurd energy policies of the EU? Certainly there is plenty of blame to go around, but the reality […]

State Department official Victoria Nuland admitted that the US government is funding biological laboratories in Ukraine, confirming what Washington has long dismissed as “Russian propaganda.” Correspondent Dan Cohen interviews journalist Dilyana Gaytandzhieva, who has investigated these facilities in Eastern Europe. On March 8, Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland commented on a recent Russian […]

This isn’t a hyperbolic interpretation of their joint statement but an objective reading of the literal words contained within it. The US-led West’s worries about a Third World War might thus become a self-fulfilling prophecy if its decisionmakers continue behaving irrationally and pushing the world towards a literal apocalypse. The G7’s joint statement that was released on […]

Alexander Dugin We need to understand what is happening to us and around us. To do this, common sense is not enough, there must be methodologies. So let us consider SMO (Special Military Operation) in the context of a discipline like International Relations (IR). There are two main schools of thought in international relations: realism […]

Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger has been added to Ukraine’s Mirotvorets blacklist for urging a settlement with Moscow. The elder statesman was declared an “accomplice in the crimes” of Russia for urging a swift peace deal. Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger turned 99 on Friday and pro-Kiev activists marked the occasion […]

It was a year ago this month that Joe Biden promised to transform this country, change it more than any president had in over 100 years. He was going to create a new economy through what he called “a once in a generation investment in America unlike anything we’ve seen or done since we built […]

Washington’s proxy war in Ukraine is the globalist scheme to transcend the continuity of history, culture, and geography embodied in the nation-state. During the 1999 Kosovo air campaign, President Bill Clinton told Americans, “That’s what this Kosovo thing is all about.… It’s globalism versus tribalism.” In 1999 very few Americans paid attention to Clinton’s remarks. Kosovo […]

Democrats have rushed to declare Ukraine’s borders sacred while destroying our own borders, former President Donald Trump said Saturday. He said under Joe Biden’s leadership, “we’re losing our country,” while the Biden administration “spent months obsessing over how to stop an invasion of a foreign country, thousands of miles away.” “You can’t defend western civilization if […]

China is looking for alternatives to the US dollar as a reserve currency after Western nations froze the foreign assets of Russia’s central bank last week, former IMF chief economist Kenneth Rogoff told media on March 1. The seizure of Russian sovereign assets has no precedent in postwar history, and sets a precedent for similar […]

The president was reportedly considering a trip to Saudi Arabia to appeal for more oil production as the DOJ announced it would miss a deadline for releasing declassified documents about the 9/11 attacks.The chair of a coalition representing 3,000 families who lost loved ones on September 11, 2001 is calling on President Joe Biden to demand […]

On March 9 the Russian government released a new intelligence document containing information about an alleged Ukrainian plan to launch a series of deadly attacks against the Russian-speaking population in the Donbass. The existence of such a plan completely changes the entire narrative about recent events in Ukraine, as it shows how timely the Russian […]

China is demanding that the United States provide a full accounting of all U.S.-backed “bio-military activities” in Ukraine. During a news conference in Beijing, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian echoed Russian allegations regarding U.S. involvement in developing bioweapons in laboratories in Ukraine. “According to the data released by the U.S. itself, the U.S. has 26 biological laboratories and […]

Cynics might suspect that the US actually hopes to see the same tragedy that so many are concerned about since it could claim that Russia caused the incident and thus put additional pressure upon it, not to mention further defame that country. Observers should therefore brace themselves for this scenario since it’s almost certain that […]

The secretary of Russia’s Security Council, Nikolay Patrushev said that further instigation of the illegal activity on Ukraine’s territory would certainly “shed light on the real purposes of such experiments by the United States and its allies”. The active phase of creating Pentagon-controlled biological laboratories in Ukraine started in 2014, Nikolay Patrushev pointed out.   […]

I’ll be honest. I don’t know what’s happening in Ukraine. I don’t understand it either. I ignore most of the mainstream media because I don’t trust it. In the Wild West world of online, where I graze widely, it feels like there are as many different assessments and explanations of the situation in Ukraine as […]

“Regarding the White Helmets, they are terrorists and Takfiris […] they have nothing to do with Humanity […] when they used to see an injured civilian, they used to finish them off. If you come to “rescue” a man would you slaughter them? The White Helmets and the terrorists are one and the same, they […]

West Qurna-2 has around 14 billion barrels of reserves in place. West Qurna 2 has long been able to produce a lot more than the 400,000 bpd it currently produces. Russian operator Lukoil has been receiving an exceptionally low remuneration rate per barrel. Changes in the stance of both Baghdad and Lukoil could mean that […]

Last year, I pointed out that the United States of America is no longer our nation. This is hardly an original insight on the Dissident Right, but millions of ordinary white Americans are learning the hard way that they have no place in the United States today. Here is some of the recent news: A book by a black […]

European leaders won’t admit they’re going along with Russia’s deal, government official Gergely Gulyas said. Some 10 EU states are purchasing Russian gas in rubles, but are keeping this deal quiet, Hungarian government spokesman Gergely Gulyas announced. While multiple European leaders have publicly proclaimed they won’t buy Russian gas in rubles as Russian President Vladimir […]

After a week of non-stop lectures, panels, speeches, and expert testimony, my new mission has now come into focus. Editor’s Note: Dr. Pierre Kory brought ivermectin’s remarkable efficacy against covid-19 to global attention with his December, 2020, Senate testimony, which received nearly nine million YouTube views before Google/YouTube censored it. As he continues to lead […]

Donetsk, May 9 – DAN. The Head of the Donetsk People’s Republic Denis Pushilin has lit the Eternal Flame at the monument to “Victims of Fascism” in Mariupol, liberated from Ukrainian occupation.  The ceremony was attended by representatives of the All-Russia People’s Front (ONF), who brought flames from the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in […]

Kim Iversen from “The Hill” breaks down what’s true and what’s false about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Using images of past wars to depict the current conflict is blatant propaganda. Iversen noted that she mistakenly promoted a picture of Zelensky in full military gear that was taken in April 2021, and honestly owned up to […]

I laughed out loud in Marks & Spencer when I found that they are now selling something called ‘Chicken Kyiv’. This is apparently just like their old ‘Chicken Kiev’, only with added propaganda. I am told that there is now also a ‘No Chicken Kyiv’ for vegans, without any actual chicken in it. Not since the wild frenzy after […]

That’s America – celebrating mental illness and deviancy. I understand he is in the running for the cover of Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. He must be so proud to join the ranks of Kackling Blowjob Queen Kamala on this prestigious list from a newspaper you get free in the lobby of a Motel 6. Do […]

Do not confuse the headline of this analysis with any conclusions of who we’re rooting for. We are rooting for America and the American people, yet we simultaneously realize that the current occupying US government is an illegitimate, treasonous crime cartel that rigged the 2020 election, built the covid bioweapon and is trying to mass exterminate […]

My opening music on Radio Derb this week was a snippet of the great Vladimir Horowitz playing the last movement of Mussorgsky’s piano suite “Pictures at an Exhibition.” Horowitz, generally regarded as the greatest concert pianist of the last century, was born in Kiev, capital of Ukraine. It was inspired by, duh, pictures the composer saw at an exhibition in […]

There is new evidence of how the Biden Administration’s total disregard for reality evident in its blundering its way into war with Russia has severely damaged what once used to be referred to as national security. And while the White House and its media barking dogs continue to push the false argument that Russia’s intervention […]

A friend encouraged me to read The Abolition of Man by C.S. Lewis (1898–1963). Here follow passages from it. The book is very short. It was published in 1943. National Review ranked it 7th of the 100 Best Non-Fiction Books of the 20th century. The Intercollegiate Studies Institute ranked it 2nd of the best books of the 20th century. David Theroux […]

It is time Germany break free from its Stockholm Syndrome, for it is their own classical cultural heritage that is at risk of being entirely erased.  “No, there is a limit to the tyrant’s power! When the oppressed man finds no justice, When the burden grows unbearable, he appeals with fearless heart to heaven, and thence […]

“You’re denying the agency of Ukrainians!” This is a line you’ve probably had bleated at you by propagandized empire livestock if you’ve engaged in online debate about the role western powers have played in paving the way to this war. One of the many, many tricks that imperial spinmeisters have pulled out of their hats […]

“Special interest groups run Washington, and I don’t mean that metaphorically. I mean literally,” said Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Alabama).   Brooks made that comment recently speaking to supporters as he detailed why politicians, from both parties, never do anything for the people they are supposed to represent. Rather, the politicians work for the lobbyists and produce legislation that […]

Biden labeled Qatar and Colombia as Washington’s ‘major allies’ outside of the military bloc. Washington has designated Qatar and Columbia as ‘major non-NATO allies’ of the US, granting them defense and ‘trade privileges’. US President Joe Biden designated Qatar and Colombia as major non-NATO allies of the US on Thursday, a special status that will […]

Depressing and demoralizing. And I would do it again in a heartbeat. Et tu, Brute? What a week.  It started with a trip to Palm Beach to meet with Florida Surgeon General Joe Ladapo and Governor Ron DeSantis (big success), then a quick turnaround to testify with the Tennessee state legislature regarding COVID legislation (partial […]

Hungary said its energy supply is not an “ideological question” after it declined to support potential penalties on Russian oil. Hungary has declined to support new European sanctions on Russia, arguing that its energy supply is not an “ideological” issue. Hungary’s top diplomat said his country would not support new economic sanctions on Russian energy […]

It’s one thing to lose your dignity as citizens, and another to just lose your country altogether…. “This is this,” DiNiro’s character “Michael” famously told Cazale’s “Stan” in The Deer Hunter, explaining the metaphysics of the bullet in his hand, and pretty much everyone watching the movie got the drift of that cryptic utterance. Likewise, Elon […]

Five-time, best-selling financial author James G. Rickards says, “We could be in a recession right now,” but the title of his most recent book “The New Great Depression” says where we are definitely going soon. Rickards says, “The current crisis is not like 2008 or even 1929. The New Depression that has emerged from the […]

As the eponymous title of our podcast promises, my partner David Vance and I dish out the “Hard Truth” about the emergency situation unraveling—or, is it wrapping up?—in Canada. Although our side won the first round – Canadian dicktator Justine Trudeau having suddenly caved and revoked the unconstitutional emergency powers seized for no good reason shortly after extending them—the […]

Yes, Twitter’s fight for its anti-free speech principles has lasted as long as Twitter’s previous fight for its pro-free speech principles. Elon Musk’ twitter takeover, which just one week ago seemed increasingly unlikely after the company rushed to adopt a poison pill, is suddenly looks rather possible and not because the world’s richest man decided […]

2021 Letter to Shareholders Dear Fellow Shareholders of Cathedra Bitcoin Inc: In 1798, a British economist was concerned that the incessant increase in population would cause humanity to run out of food. As a solution, he supported a variety of measures aimed at curbing the rate of population growth (e.g., taxes on food) to improve […]

After careful evaluation, the Kremlin is rearranging the geopolitical chessboard to end the unipolar hegemony of the “indispensable nation”. But it’s our fate / To have no place to rest, / As suffering mortals / Blindly fall and vanish / From one hour / To the next, / Like water falling / From cliff to cliff, […]

Israeli media reported on 9 March that the demolition of Palestinian homes and buildings allegedly built without a permit will be halted during the coming month of Ramadan in order to prevent the escalation of a volatile “security situation.” Israel’s Police Commissioner, Kobi Shabtai, reportedly ordered the occupation forces to refrain from carrying out evictions, […]

India is discussing how to set up a rupee-ruble payment mechanism to enable it to trade with Russia, to circumvent the U.S. sanctions regime. India abstained from voting on the March United Nations (UN) General Assembly Resolution demanding an end to Russian offensive in Ukraine (General Assembly resolution demands end to Russian offensive in Ukraine). […]

Yemen has been at war for the past seven years. A once great land of ancient trade, Yemen has become one of the poorest nations in the Arab world. Their GDP for 2021 was expected to reach only 26.9 billion USD. The World Bank estimated that over half of Yemen’s population lived in poverty prior to the pandemic, […]

Russian currency strengthens further ahead of record-high tax payments due this week. The Russian ruble rallied against major currencies on Tuesday, hitting a near 2-year high against the euro .

The military operation of Turkey’s armed forces in northern Iraq threatens the national security of this Arab republic, a statement by Iraqi President Barham Salih’s office said published on its official Twitter page on Tuesday, TASS reports. It is reported that 26 terrorists have been “neutralized” during the special Claw Castle operation while there is […]

Introduction At no point since the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima on August 6th, 1945, has humanity been closer to the unthinkable. All the safeguards of the Cold War era, which categorized the nuclear bomb as “a weapon of last resort”, have been scrapped. Vladimir Putin’s statement on February 21st, 2022 was a response to […]

Whenever a movie has been a huge hit, the film industry tries to follow it up by doing a sequel. The sequel is almost invariably far more costly, as there’s the anticipation by those who create it that it will be an even bigger blockbuster than the original. The Great Depression of the 1930’s is […]

It enrages me that “westsplaining” is a word now. Fuck off you ridiculous NPR-addled shitbrains. The absolute gall to protect a murderous globe-dominating empire from criticism and accountability for its non-stop meddling and oppression using words disguised to sound like social justice jargon. Fuck you. ❖ “This war had nothing to do with NATO! They weren’t even […]

The tragic events that unfolded in Odessa in the spring of 2014 and for which Kiev never allowed an independent international investigation, served as only one of the catalysts for the present conflict engulfing Ukraine, where Russia is carrying out a special operation to demilitarise and de-Nazify the country. Kiev authorities have been hunting down […]

Viewing the Ukraine war as starting with the current Russian invasion leads to very different conclusions than if you consider that the starting point of this war was the 2014 US-orchestrated coup in Ukraine. The coup, which had elements of an authentic popular revolt, has been used by outside powers to pursue geopolitical ends. The conception that […]

The rest has to be managed and governed, in a standardised and uniform manner. The question is by whom, since the energy transformation continues in the name of strengthening the neoliberal paradigm, deregulation and marketisation. The logical consequence is the World Government, of course as a tool steered by the Totalitarian Global Market. Scholars disagree […]

The transition of India’s foreign policy mindset during the post-Cold War period from an international outlook to a national one, and then its colossal drop to provincial thinking, is a tragic phenomenon. One outcome has been the tendency to reduce foreign policy to a single theme – India’s relations with the United States – which […]

The global oil industry is “under siege” by climate campaigners who have “seized the momentum” to dictate the energy transition with misguided talk about halting investment in oil and gas, OPEC Secretary General Mohammad Barkindo said on Monday, as carried by Reuters. “Energy affordability, energy security and the need to reduce emissions require a delicate balancing […]

Millions of genetically modified mosquitoes will be released in the United States as part of an initiative to replace the insects carrying deadly diseases, the company behind the plan announced Tuesday. The program, led by biotechnology company Oxitec funded by who else than the self-appointed Global Minister of Health Bill Gates, will release roughly 2 […]

Australian whistleblower David McBride just made the following statement on Twitter: “I’ve been asked if I think the invasion of Ukraine is illegal. My answer is: If we don’t hold our own leaders to account, we can’t hold other leaders to account. If the law is not applied consistently, it is not the law. It is […]

Several years ago Dan Edmunds, a diplomate of the American Psychotherapy Association, said, “One of the most destructive problems is the breakdown of community, and it is this breakdown that has often led to the breakdown of persons. Though we may put many around us, we are alone.” For decades, a major source of community […]

This could quickly catalyze a chain reaction of events whereby European production grinds to a halt, including possibly within its German economic engine. The socio-political consequences could be tremendous since people have already shown how rebellious they’re becoming after organizing massive rallies against their governments’ epidemiological policies that were imposed on the pretext of containing […]

These are some of the things that are not reported (and questions that are never raised) in U.S.-and-allied mainstream ‘news’-media, but that can instead be found outside them — such as in THIS news-medium. April 29th is a typical day in the news: A good example of its news is that the anonymous great independent […]

“Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes… known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few.… No nation could preserve its freedom […]

What can we do about our oligarchy in the United States? President Biden’s blueprint for ones in Russia is a good place to start. From President Biden’s State of the Union: Tonight I say to the Russian oligarchs and corrupt leaders who have bilked billions of dollars off this violent regime: no more. The U.S. Department […]

In view of the unrest that US intelligence services have been actively initiating lately, whether in Central Asia, Transcaucasia or other areas bordering Russia and China, the risk of a biological disaster from multiple secret military biological laboratories deployed by the US in potentially politically and socially unstable regions is objectively increasing. In this regard, […]

And THAT’S why the US media and the government are so shocked and outraged. The history of the world up until now has been one of peace. Right? I do seem to recall, though—so long ago it’s quite dim in memory—the US conducted war in Iraq more than once, and Afghanistan as well. And there […]

NATO is sending weapons and trainers to help neo-Nazis in Ukraine’s white-supremacist Azov movement fight Russia. This follows numerous reports of Western government support for Ukrainian far-right extremists. The US-led NATO military alliance is sending weapons to neo-Nazi extremists in Ukraine as they battle Russian soldiers. Since Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, the US government has […]

Endless provocations and subversive actions of the US and Israel against Iran lead to the Iranian people getting increasingly bitter towards the two countries and their representatives. Following the blatant US assassination operation against Iranian General Qasem Soleimani, commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) special forces, killed on the night of January 3, 2020 […]

President Biden spoke with President Xi Jinping of China over a secure video teleconference Friday (March 18). The two-hour discussion between the two leaders had Russia’s invasion of Ukraine at the top of the agenda. But, as important as the call was supposed to be in the buildup, the 120-minute chat did not satisfy expectations. Early […]
