Protesters forming a Freedom Convoy to converge on Paris and rally against national coronavirus restrictions will be blocked from entry, the French capital’s police authority said on Thursday. Paris and Brussels have been targeted by those demanding an end to social restrictions, inspired by demonstrators who have taken to the streets of the Canadian capital Ottawa and elsewhere. The […]

Russia’s stock market dropped by 10% and the cost of insurance on Russian sovereign risk soared after President Vladimir Putin recognized the independence of Donetsk and Luhansk, the regions of East Ukraine controlled by pro-Russian separatists since 2014. Putin’s maneuver parallels the 1993 recognition of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, two breakaway districts of Georgia, after […]

The Biden administration paid nearly the entire corporate media, including so-called “conservative” media outlets, with taxpayer dollars to engage in a massive campaign to push only positive coverage about COVID shots while censoring any negative information, without disclosing it to their audiences. This is a serious breach of journalistic ethics.  Congress appropriated $1 billion in fiscal year 2021 for […]

NATO has moved its staff in Ukraine, the representative of the bloc’s Information and Documentation Center says. The move comes amid clashes in the war-torn Donbass region. Amid an increasingly tense standoff in eastern Ukraine, NATO has sent personnel stationed at its Kiev mission to a city around 500km away to the west, as well […]

President Donald Trump spoke where he said “it all started,” alongside the “great patriots of CPAC.” Donald Trump’s annual CPAC talks — no doubt allowed by organizers because of The Donald’s celebrity status — built his credibility in the years before his campaign. The last time he didn’t speak at CPAC was in 2016, when Conservatism Inc. […]

What we are watching happen in Ukraine should deeply sadden all of us, because it didn’t have to happen.  It should have been so easy for global leaders to sit down and come up with a plan that would have satisfied everybody, but it is too late for that at this point.  Now that Ukraine […]

For the past 4 years – especially since the US ‘trade war’ on China started by the Trump administration in 2017 – Washington has been seeking ways to contain, roll-back on its gains and encircle China. The US ‘trade war’ was not something entirely new; in fact, it was a continuation of the Obama administration’s […]

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed declined requests for direct communication with President Biden in recent weeks. The Biden Administration was silently hoping that Saudi Arabia and the UAE would increase crude production in the short term. A Wall Street Journal report notes that Riyadh considers U.S.-Saudi relations […]

The US occupation of Syria is a violation of international law. Syria’s Envoy to the United Nations Bassam al-Sabbagh accused the United States and other NATO members, on 25 February, of hindering the efforts by the Syrian government to put an end to the 11 year-long and rebuild the country. In an address to the […]

Six years ago, before Russia’s full-scale invasion of their country, the Ukrainians bet that a Hillary Clinton presidency would offer better protection from Russian President Vladimir Putin, even though he had invaded Crimea during the Obama-Biden administration, whose Russian policies Clinton vowed to continue. Working with both the Obama administration and the Clinton campaign, Ukrainian […]

Australia-China relations have soured in recent years as decoupling continues. Last week, the latest rumblings between the two nations occurred when a Chinese warship targeted an Australian spy plane with a laser, according to CNN. Economically, Australia has supplied China’s industries with commodities for decades. However, when the Australian government led an international call for the inquiry into […]

The fact that Kiev received at least $200 million in U.S. “lethal aid” as well as other Western-made weapons over the past two months, means that Kiev rejects a peaceful solution. And Russian President Vladimir Putin has been offering this peaceful solution for years. Ukraine has been firmly in the U.S. geopolitical orbit since violent […]

Every useful or pleasing claim about the war, no matter how unverified or subsequently debunked, rapidly spreads, while dissenters are vilified as traitors or Kremlin agents. In the weeks leading up to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, those warning of the possible dangers of U.S. involvement were assured that such concerns were baseless. The prevailing line […]

About those truckers… Like many, I have spent the last couple of weeks a bit entranced by the trucker protests happening in Canada (and now around the world, from Paris to Wellington). I initially tried to document here every twist and turn of the Freedom Convoy drama, but found it nearly impossible. Events continue to […]

If a decentralised, federal and, above all, denazified Ukraine is created – ethnic minorities will regain their language rights, Nazi symbols will disappear from the public space, and poverty and hopelessness could someday stop to be everyday challenge for Ukrainians First of all, in the current situation, let’s demand seriousness, not cabaret.  This is not […]

Scott Ritter, a former US Marine Corps intelligence officer, discusses the military invasion of Russia in Ukraine with Richard Medhurst. According to Ritter, this is a massive Russian operation that aims to “demilitarize” and “denazify” Ukraine which means two things. One, Ukrainian military will cease to exist. And two, Ukrainian government will be gone because President Putin says […]

A lot of ink has been spilled lately on whether or not the USA and its NATO alliance promised the USSR that NATO would not expand into the space evacuated by the withdrawal of the Red Army from Europe. It is clear those promises were repeatedly made and clear they were repeatedly broken. There is […]

The UAE announced this month plans to buy a dozen L15 light trainer-attack aircraft from China and unveiled its first swarming drones with AI technology, the Gulf state’s latest effort to diversify its arms providers and bolster its defense industries. The UAE defense ministry announced it would sign a contract with the China National Aero-Technology […]

The dismissive attitude of the US political and military establishment towards its foreign “helpers” (paid traitors to their own nations) is well known. This attitude became even more apparent after Joe Biden’s recent appearance before the House of Representatives and Senate with his annual State of the Union Address, in which he described the people of […]

It should be easy to find out what really happened to the massacred civilians in the Ukrainian town. The US and UK are leading the charge in implicating Russia in the alleged deaths of Ukrainian civilians in the town of Bucha. “In war, truth is the first casualty.” This quote has been attributed to Aeschylus, […]

Over the last decade, Russia has been successfully strengthening its influence in different parts of the world: first and foremost, in the countries of Asia and Africa.  The trade turnover with them has been growing every year, including the countries of South-East Asia, where Indonesia – the most populous state in the region (274 million […]

NEO has already had reasons to complain about the rapidly changing agenda on both the local and global levels as the “Great Game” unfolds. Which, by the way, is a sure sign that at the current stage of its development it is mired in crisis. In this context, it is necessary to make some remarks. Thus, recall that at […]

The American truckers are gearing up for a massive protest in Washington DC in opposition to tyrannical COVID mandates. On Saturday, one of the largest groups that’s making its way to Washington – The Peoples Convoy – swelled to over 1,500 vehicles as it made its way through Texas, according to reports on the ground. In just […]

The Canadian government is now freezing the bank accounts and personal assets of those who donated to support the Freedom Convoy, which is an organized political protest of the vaccine mandates. The deputy prime minister announced that they will retain these so-called emergency powers permanently going forward and will also seek to implement additional measures to further restrict […]

“Never has our future been more unpredictable, never have we depended so much on political forces that cannot be trusted to follow the rules of common sense and self-interest—forces that look like sheer insanity, if judged by the standards of other centuries.” – Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism Let me tell you about the state […]

Behind the battle to convince everyone that price inflation is not a lasting problem is the necessity to keep interest rates and bond yields suppressed. In the past, the interest rate cycle was entirely due to the expansion and contraction of commercial bank credit. But that was before central banks built up bond portfolios through […]

DONETSK, Ukraine Feb 24 (Reuters) – At least five explosions were heard in the separatist-held eastern Ukraine city of Donetsk early on Thursday, a Reuters witness said. Following the blasts, four military trucks could be seen heading for the scene. Hours earlier, the Kremlin said two separatist breakaway regions in Ukraine had asked for Russian […]

Diabolic methods of propaganda and perception management are at work now that have no precedent. This is war waged in a new way – against domestic populations as well as those declared as enemies. Stand with Ukraine rally at the Lincoln Memorial, Washington, Feb. 20. (Victoria Pickering, Flickr, CC BY-NC-ND 2.0) The news reports come in […]

“We could completely offset the negative consequences of financial sanctions if the Bank of Russia fulfilled its constitutional duty to ensure a stable ruble exchange rate, and not the recommendations of Washington financial organizations…. It was the connivance of the Central Bank which led to the fact that Russia and its industry were drained of […]

The Joe Biden administration’s ‘new’ Indo-Pacific strategy document contains nothing ‘new’ insofar as the cardinal objective of this strategy is concerned i.e., ‘encircling China.’ Interestingly enough, the strategy has been revealed despite the Biden administration’s various rhetorical claims that the administration is not seeking to build up a global coalition against China, or that they […]

Might the current freedom movements force a shift in the elements of the political class that have not lost their humanity to a commitment to assimilate everything into a unipolar transhumanist priesthood? The financial system is clearly careening towards a point of dissolution. It isn’t an exaggeration to say that the collapse itself has already […]

The world-acclaimed journalist, John Pilger, based in the UK, took to Twitter to voice his view of the West’s condemnation of Russia’s special military operation aiming to defend the people of Donbass as well as “demilitarise and denazify” Ukraine. The European and US leaderships have been called out on their “hypocrisy” by a veteran investigative […]

All of a sudden, there is a lot of talk in the mainstream media about establishing a “no-fly zone” over Ukraine, and that should deeply alarm all of us.  Because establishing a “no-fly zone” over Ukraine would require us to shoot at Russians, and they would inevitably start shooting back.  In other words, we would […]

The Kremlin has been very clear about its intentions in Ukraine since Russia initially invaded Crimea in 2014 and annexed it: President Vladimir Putin wants to return Russian-speaking regions of the former Soviet Union, notably those closest to Russia’s borders, to the Russian Federation. Putin will not abandon this quest. For him, it is an […]

The prospect of a “high intensity” armed conflict involving major military powers has been a subject of reflection and concern in expert circles and the media for some years now, and as Statista’s Martin Armstrong notes, this issue has become even more topical with the recent rise in geopolitical tensions in Eastern Europe. According to a […]

India’s dilemma over humanitarian intervention is revisiting it, with Russia’s recognition of the two self-proclaimed Donbass republics of Donetsk and Lugansk as independent states. India is certainly not going to follow the Russian footfalls. The heart of the matter is that India has adopted a consistent position on issues involving genocide, human rights and self-determination. In 2008, […]

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has indicated Australia won’t send troops to Ukraine in the event of an invasion by Russia but will provide practical assistance to allies. U.S. President Joe Biden believes Russia’s Vladimir Putin has made a decision to invade Ukraine and will do so within weeks or days. Morrison said an invasion is “regrettably inevitable,” with intelligence […]

Turkey has recently been receiving a considerable amount of attention in the publications of various media outlets. However, much of the reporting revolves around the attitude of Ankara and the Turkish president himself towards various armed conflicts, where Turkey still plays a major role. One example of this is the Turkish leader’s offer to mediate […]

Considering Mauritius’ comparatively very limited capabilities in the face of the British Navy, it’ll likely have to remain content with symbolic acts of sovereignty for the time being. Be that as it is, the country can still generate significant attention for its cause if it manages to convince influential multipolar countries like Russia, China, and […]

Anti-vaccine demonstrators have ignored a warning from the authorities to leave voluntarily. New Zealand’s anti-vaccine mandate protest has continued to grow despite police telling demonstrators to leave voluntarily or be towed away. Hundreds of protesters defied a police ultimatum to leave the area around Wellington’s ‘Beehive’ parliament on Wednesday, with the crowd continuing to swell. […]

Breakaway republics of Donetsk and Lugansk claim Kiev is pounding their positions with heavy artillery Self-proclaimed republics of Donetsk and Lugansk in eastern Ukraine have accused Kiev’s forces of ramping up attacks on their positions late on Sunday. Territories of the breakaway Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) and the neighboring Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR) have reportedly […]

Republican New Mexico Congresswoman Yvette Herrell has launched a campaign to provide Canadian ‘Freedom Convoy’ protesters with asylum. Rep. Yvette Herrell likened Canada’s treatment of demonstrators to ‘an authoritarian regime’. A US congresswoman has promised to introduce legislation to grant asylum to Canadian truckers facing persecution from their government for being involved in the recent […]

American foreign policy produces dangerous alliances. It should come as no surprise that many observers, from various political perspectives, are beginning to note that there is something seriously disconnected in the fumbling foreign policy of the United States. The evacuation failure in Afghanistan shattered the already waning self-confidence of the American political elite and the […]

Joe Rogan unloaded on Bill Gates during an episode of his podcast the Joe Rogan Experience. Rogan blasted Gates for pushing health advice on the American people while being extremely unhealthy himself. Rogan then said, “How are you giving any health advice when you look like that?” Rogan also questioned if Bill Gates making money […]

The German chancellor said the row between Russia and the West is potentially dangerous but can be resolved. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has said Ukraine isn’t about to be admitted to NATO despite Moscow’s fears  NATO currently has no plans to admit Ukraine as a member despite Moscow’s demands that the US-led military bloc pledge […]

Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree “On the application of special economic measures against the United States and countries that have joined them,” the Kremlin press service reported. Earlier, Western countries initiated new sanctions against Moscow in connection with the Russian operation in Ukraine. Exporters must sell 80 percent of foreign exchange earnings credited […]

I was thinking to title this article “Why There Will Be No Red Wave in November” but decided against it.  While I think there is a high probability that the Red Wave will not materialize, I felt that I needed to spend some time building a case first. For 250 years, nearly as long as […]

President Vladimir Putin has ordered the Russian military to “secure the peace” in the newly recognized Donetsk and Lugansk republics, which were formerly considered to be part of Ukraine.. The president has signed a decree pledging cooperation between Russia and the two breakaway regions. Draft treaties between Russia and the newly recognized republics of Donetsk and […]

Former US President ripped Biden’s handling of Ukraine crisis, calling Russia’s Donbass move ‘genius’. Former US President Donald Trump calls Vladimir Putin ‘savvy’ for “outsmarting” Joe Biden in Ukraine by recognizing Donbass republics. Former President Donald Trump has praised Russia’s Vladimir Putin for his strategy in eastern Ukraine, arguing that the Russian leader outmaneuvered Joe […]

Whatever we may think of Putin, he is no Stalin. He has not murdered millions or created a gulag archipelago. Nor is he “irrational,” as some pundits rail. He does not want a war with us, which would be worse than ruinous to us both. Putin is a Russian nationalist, patriot, traditionalist and a cold […]

When Klaus Schwab – whose oppressive dictatorial tyranny implemented by the corrupt governments he boasted “he penetrated” we endure and fight against in the last two years – sides with someone then it obviously must be someone who is also for “freedom, welfare and bright future for all of us”, isn’t it so? Hence we […]

When NBC’s Lester Holt asked President Joe Biden what might prompt him to send U.S. troops to rescue Americans fleeing Ukraine, Biden replied: “There’s not. That’s a world war when Americans and Russia start shooting at one another.” “It’s not like we’re dealing with a terrorist organization. We’re dealing with one of the largest armies […]

Legislation aims to make “digital courtroom” a permanent fixture of UK justice. Some of the UK’s “temporary” measures intended to help “deal with the pandemic” are going to be added to future legislation and made permament laws by the spring of this year. Of course, the truth is that many of the “temporary” Covid measures […]

The big wildcard in today’s dramatic escalation in tensions over east Ukraine, is how and when Beijing will react to Putin’s announcement recognizing the Donbass region as independent and immediately deploying “peacekeeping” forces to Donetsk and Lugansk. A hint as to what may be coming, came earlier on Monday when China said it would impose […]

An investigative report by the Washington Free Beacon has documented how – while the world faces the possibility of a World War III given Russia’s operation in Ukraine – U.S. soldiers are getting training in pronouns. Specifically how to address a man in the ranks who says he’s a woman. And when to suggest the […]

While we are finally starting to win the fight for our children’s minds, we are losing the battle for control of their bodies. The Hypocritic Oath First, the good news. Recent legal wins over woke schools in Florida have the education industrial complex reeling. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis successfully banned his state’s education lunatics from […]

According to numbers released by the US government, consumer prices have increased by 7.5 percent in the past year, the steepest increase since 1982. The actual price increases are even worse than the government numbers suggest, given that the “official” statistics are manipulated to understate the real rate of price increases. According to John Williams […]

Washington has gotten so big and filled with far too many unelected people drunk on power who want to control the American people. We all agree that Washington is broken. It is one of the few things that people on both sides can agree. Washington has gotten so big and filled with far too many […]

As with Iraq, there seems to be a coordinated mainstream media effort to drag America into a new war. Don’t let them. Tomorrow is the 19th anniversary of Iraq War 2.0 — the one we fought over Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction. What have we learned over the almost two decades since? The war-fevered […]

The UK government is planning to re-work its human rights law to put an increased emphasis on “personal responsibility” and “duties to the wider society”, as well as preventing people “abusing” their rights. Sounds pretty awful, doesn’t it? But let’s go back to the beginning. In December 2020 the UK government announced they would be looking into […]

Tensions between the United States and China exist across a wide spectrum of areas, from economics to geopolitics. Among the many flashpoint issues defining this growing confrontation is the “Taiwan question.” Officially, the United States recognizes what is known as the “One China Policy.” The US State Department’s own webpage regarding US-Taiwan relations explicitly states: […]

What is the Purpose of the United Nations? The UN was created after WWII’ to replace the ineffective League of Nations.   It was based on the Four Major allies of the globe; Soviet Union, the US, China, and the UK under New Deal aspirations magistrate – FDR. The UN Charter which was signed by 50 countries was […]

It is no secret that members of the current US political elite and their closest relatives are fairly quick to gain business shares in all countries invaded by US occupation forces. This has been commonplace since the Iraqi wars and the destruction of Yugoslavia. Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, for example, had a business […]

Kennard is deeply concerned about the presupposition that U.S. actions inside Britain are benevolent. Today, Watchdog host Lowkey is joined by investigative journalist Matt Kennard to discuss how the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) has infiltrated foreign media in an attempt to export obedience to the United States government and promote Washington’s interests around the world. In […]

One of the most successful disinformation campaigns in modern American electoral history occurred in the weeks prior to the 2020 presidential election. On October 14, 2020 — less than three weeks before Americans were set to vote — the nation’s oldest newspaper, The New York Post, began publishing a series of reports about the business dealings of the Democratic frontrunner […]

Those who most flamboyantly proclaim that they are fighting fascists continue to embrace and wield the defining weapons of despotism – Glenn Greenwald When it comes to distant and adversarial countries, we are taught to recognize tyranny through the use of telltale tactics of repression. Dissent from orthodoxies is censored. Protests against the state are outlawed. […]

The undeclared US-provoked missile crisis in Europe is practically a modern-day version of the Cuban Missile Crisis, albeit with the roles reversed. This is the objectively existing and easily verifiable truth of what’s now the worst strategic security crisis in history considering the fact that this one just went hot whereas its precursor remained cold…Hopefully […]

Global outrage has continued to grow since the Biden administration stole Afghanistan’s foreign reserves with nearly 23 million Afghans facing acute hunger. Following the Biden administration’s unilateral decision last week to seize $7 billion worth of assets from Afghanistan amid a mounting humanitarian crisis that threatens to kill more civilians than two decades of war, foreign leaders and critics worldwide […]

Ottawa police put an end to the “Freedom Convoy” protest in the downtown district that lasted for three weeks. On Friday and Saturday, officers arrested demonstrators and seized their vehicles. Now Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson wants to sell those seized trucks and campers to recoup millions of dollars the city lost during the three weeks of gridlock. […]

  Here’s a quick quiz: How do we know the new developments in special counsel John Durham’s investigation are important? Answer: Because the New York Times and Washington Post claim they aren’t important.  Big Media’s messengers for the Deep State are nothing if not consistent. For years they sold the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax as the greatest story […]

In perhaps the most predictable column of the year, the Wall Street Journal last week featured a column by Walter Russell Mead declaring it’s “Time to Increase Defense Spending.” Using the Beijing Olympics and the potential Ukraine war to push for funneling ever more taxpayer dollars into military spending, Mead outlines how military spending ought to […]

Within the next couple of months it is likely that there will be direct US military involvement in Ukraine, with Russia now openly supporting and recognizing separatist groups in the Donbass region on the eastern edge of the country and apparently moving to aid them militarily in separation. This is not the first time Russia […]

China has warned against American meddling in Taiwan after a US delegation visited to voice support for the island and urged Washington to abide by past agreements and respect its sovereignty. The Chinese government has warned that Washington could “pay a heavy price” for continued intervention in Taiwan, after a US delegation visited to voice support […]

Russia has for a couple months insisted that it has no plans to invade Ukraine, even as positioned extra forces in the south near the border, but the Kremlin is now issuing fresh warnings on its ‘red lines’ after reports emerged that Ukraine has requested THAAD missile systems from the US military. The missiles – to […]

The situation at the southern border has been so bad that it can’t wait three more years for a new administration to step in, and border states have the constitutional authority to defend themselves, according to Russ Vought, former director of the Office of Management and Budget under the Trump administration. “We have a real crisis along […]

On January 21, 2022, Vice Admiral Kay-Achim Schönbach attended a talk in New Delhi, India, organized by the Manohar Parrikar Institute for Defense Studies and Analyses.

Russia is not waging war on the Ukrainian people, but on a small group of people within the US power that has transformed Ukraine without its knowledge, the Straussians. It formed half a century ago and has already committed an incredible amount of crimes in Latin America and the Middle East without the knowledge of […]

Sergey Karaganov argues Moscow is taking a new tack with the West, and is increasingly resistant to sanctions and political pressure  Moscow’s confrontation with NATO is just the start It seems like Russia has entered a new era of its foreign policy – a ‘constructive destruction’, let’s call it, of the previous model of relations […]

The EU has unveiled its first tranche of economic sanctions on Russia for its invasion of Ukraine. EU leadership looks even more angry about this outcome than US leadership does.

New Zealand has defied the wrath of its Anglosphere allies to sign a big new trade deal with Beijing China and New Zealand this week completed the ratification of their upgraded free-trade agreement, which will come into force in April.

Alexander Dugin I Seven years since 2014, it was too painful for me to comment on the topic of the DPR and LPR and Ukraine in general. I experienced the end of the Russian Spring as a personal drama and a terrible loss. I did everything possible – contrary to the then intentions of the Kremlin, to […]

It’s hard to exaggerate just how energized the Washington elite has been by the outbreak of war in Europe. The resurgent Russian menace clearly portends a prosperous future of ever larger defense budgets, not to mention offering a much-needed reprieve from the domestic tumult of a fraying political system. Of course, it all very well […]

Today’s date, commonly written out as 22.02.2022, will be an easy one for future schoolchildren to remember. Various people will remember it in various ways. The residents of Donetsk and Lugansk, the two formerly Ukrainian, now once again Russian cities that have been subjected to conditions bordering on genocide since the US-instigated government overthrow of […]

OneWorld is publishing the full English version of the interview that Andrew Korybko recently gave to Kiko Nogueira from Diário do Centro do Mundo, which was originally published in Portuguese under the title “’É guerra híbrida’: analista americano sediado na Rússia fala ao DCM sobre Ucrânia e o golpe em Dilma”. 1.

The next day, on December 7, the […]

While the US’ fading unipolar hegemony over Western Eurasia largely remains assured at least for the time being, it mustn’t be taken for granted in Eastern Eurasia lest it suffer the same fate as what’s befalling it in West & South Asia vis-à-vis Israel & the GCC cultivating increasingly strategic ties with Russia & China […]

Hundreds of truckers and their supporters set off from southern California on Wednesday on a convoy headed across the United States towards the capital Washington to protest against pandemic restrictions. Inspired by the demonstrations that crippled Canada’s cities for weeks, organizers of “The People’s Convoy” want an end to mask mandates, vaccination requirements and business […]

After keeping it under direct occupation, destroying the country for 20 years – and failing to militarily defeat the Taliban (banned in Russia) – Joe Biden’s executive order to simply seize half of Afghanistan’s little over US$7 billion to use it to pay to the victims of 9/11 is just a mockery of the “values” […]

The Associated Press has published yet another article based on unevidenced assertions by anonymous government officials about the scary horrifying frightening Russian menace, this time to accuse another media outlet of promoting propaganda. Without a trace of irony. “U.S. intelligence officials on Tuesday accused a conservative financial news website with a significant American readership of amplifying Kremlin […]

A drone crash in Croatia which is believed to have come from the nearby war in Ukraine is being described as “a serious incident” by the Balkan country’s president Zoran Milanovic.

Putin is not going to “invade” Ukraine. Nope. But Russia now is prepared to fight on behalf of two independent Republics who ask for Putin’s help. Putin signed an agreement with the leaders of Donetsh and Luhansk respectively about 11 pm Moscow time on 21 February. The Minsk Agreement is dead. By formally recognizing the […]

While banning legitimate patriotic non-violent views by regular people in US, and freedom-loving European nations, Facebook is now allowing its billions of users to praise a Ukrainian neo-Nazi military unit called the Azov Battalion, after the social media giant previously banned the group from free discussion under the company’s Dangerous Individuals and Organizations policy, The […]

Considering the fact that the incident took place near Urup and not near any of the Kuril Islands that Japan claims as its own, the US can’t plausibly claim that it was ‘operating safely in international waters’ since Russia’s writ over Urup is universally uncontested even by Tokyo. The Russian Ministry of Defense claimed on […]

Documentary evidence of Washington’s aggressive plans for developing and manufacturing biological weapons in secret US biological laboratories in Ukraine, banned by international conventions, has been uncovered during the Russian special operation to denazify and demilitarize Ukraine, and it is frankly horrifying! Although suspicions of such US activities have already been repeatedly published by many media […]

The republics have Moscow’s backing under pacts inked with the two regional leaders, the country’s foreign minister says. EU’s Josep Borrell doesn’t deem a presumed Russian military presence to be a “fully fledged invasion” at this point.

Latvian state media is confirming that Stinger shoulder fired anti-air missiles have been delivered to Kiev, at a moment the US and Western backers of Ukraine are again warning that a full-scale Russian invasion is “imminent”.

Russia has learned the lesson of its past weaknesses when it comes to dealing with NATO. Russian troops near the border of Ukraine are not going to move into the country. To do so would be simply senseless. Grabbing land already devastated by its anti-national and corrupt ruling class is one of the worst options […]

The United States and the UK cannot afford to indulge in the Left’s “painful woke psychodrama” that is weakening the West just when it is confronted with severe external challenges, the chairman of Britain’s ruling Conservative Party has warned.

With all eyes on the situation unfolding at the Ukraine border – as separatists in Donbas reporting intensified shelling amid a “general mobilization” of military-age males – Germany’s left-leaning Spiegel asks a question fundamental to the entire conflict… “Vladimir Putin insists that the West cheated Russia by expanding NATO eastward following the end of the […]

The unprecedented credit-fueled bubbles in stocks, bonds and real estate are popping, and America’s corrupt leaders can only stammer and spew excuses and empty promises. Unbeknownst to most people, America’s leadership made a pact with the Devil: rather than face the constraints and injustices of our economic-financial system directly, a reckoning that would require difficult choices […]

French democracy a joke? Marine Le Pen forced to suspend her presidential election campaign due to ‘insufficient signatures’ Eric Zemmour has also admitted that it is “quite possible” that he will not obtain the 500 signatures required.

To retain our deterrence abroad, we must tighten our belts at home, pump oil and gas, start to balance our budget, junk wokeism as a nihilist indulgence, and recalibrate our military… One of the oddest commentaries about the Russian invasion of Ukraine is the boilerplate reaction that “borders can’t change in modern Europe” or “this does […]

The US and its allies have already set the scene for Revolution 2.0 in Syria. The question is whether their plan is to extract concessions from Russia over Ukraine, or to go full out and risk a West Asia-wide conflagration. With new political, military, and economic tensions escalating between the United States and its NATO […]

Russia is implementing international law throughout the course of its ongoing special operation in Ukraine that the UNSC was unable to earlier do instead due to the US’ resistance and literal complicity in those exact same war crimes that its fascist proxies have hitherto been committing with impunity for nearly a decade already. This humanitarian […]

Dozens of people once again took to the streets of the Bahraini capital, Manama, on 18 February to protest against the deepening of ties between their government and the Israeli occupation. The protesters carried banners condemning the normalization of diplomatic relations with Tel Aviv. They burnt Israeli flags and accused the rulers of Bahrain of […]

  I can’t believe I am saying this, but thank goodness for Twitter right now. Were it not for the social media giant, what coverage would we have of the weeks-long freedom protest in Canada right now? Even Tucker Carlson often has to resort to playing a video in his monologues from a random handle. […]

I’m surprised both of the size of the operation and the type of operation. While I did expect standoff destruction of the nazi units and considered the possibility of standoff destruction of Ukrainian military assets I did not expect to see troops on the ground other than a few Spetsnaz. The operation is much, much […]

Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu has suggested that Russia allow foreign volunteers to join the fight in Ukraine on Moscow’s side. Putin has agreed to a Defense Ministry proposal that Russia should allow foreign fighters to join the offensive More than 16,000 foreign fighters, many of them from the Middle East and experienced in fighting […]

Former Hawaii Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard accused the Biden administration of risking Americans’ safety for the benefit of Ukraine, arguing the White House’s response to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s incursion into the country was endangering U.S. citizens. “They are so focused on how do we punish Putin that they don’t care and are not focused […]

Political scientist, leader of the international Eurasian movement and editor-in-chief of the portal “Katehon” Alexander Dugin spoke about the Russian spring and the pressure of the West. He called the decision to recognize the independence of the Donbass republics the most important event in the history of recent decades. “Ukraine has chosen the wrong gentleman,” the […]

This article that I republish was first published almost eight years ago on May 4, 2014, less than three months after the February 2014 writes Prof. Michael Chossudovsky. EuroMaidan. And this is what I wrote eight years ago: “The killings of civilians in Eastern and South Eastern Ukraine by Neo-Nazi mobs and members of the […]

International oil firms working in Kurdistan could face canceled contracts after the Supreme Court of Iraq made two legal rulings on oil sales and contracts. The recent rulings hark back to a deal struck between Kurdistan and Iraq in 2014 when the two sides agreed to swap oil for a portion of the national budget. […]

Requesting clemency on humanitarian grounds when Uruguayans are still searching for answers is a political imbalance that needs to be addressed, Ramona Wadi writes. The U.S.-backed Latin American dictatorships are still tarnishing their respective countries with the legacy of oblivion. Earlier this month, Uruguay’s “Relatives of the Disappeared” cautioned that President Luis Lacalle is “whitening […]

On Friday morning, February 25, Sergei Glazyev published the following analysis of US sanctions against the Russian economy and of the Russian options for defence and counter-attack.

On February 2, the Pentagon chief announced that US Special Forces had completed a counter-terrorism operation in Syria, controlled by the US Central Command, stressing that “the mission was successful” and “there were no US casualties.” As it turned out, the target of this operation near the town of Atme in the Syrian province of […]

In the midst of this current “Ukrainian Crisis,” I am reminded of a very solid volume I read in 2015, during what was back then the first Ukrainian Crisis: Frontline Ukraine: Crisis in the Borderlands (2015, Tauris), by Prof. Richard Sakwa. Sakwa, whose father was an officer in the Polish army during World War II, has authored […]

The U.S. Constitution We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America… […]

Spearheaded by Paris and Canada, Europeans recognized the futility of their activities in Mali within the ill-fated anti-terrorist Operation Barkhane that lasted for 9 years since 2014, and on February 17 decided to begin a coordinated military withdrawal from this African country. French president Emmanuel Macron said that after pulling out of Mali European troops […]

Now we are being told that we are all going to “have costs” for the crisis in Ukraine.  More specifically, the global energy crisis just took a dramatic turn for the worse, and so that means that all of us will soon be hit by dramatically higher energy prices.  It is going to be much […]

A few days ago, Russian troops invaded Ukraine. The movement of Russian troops went far beyond removing Ukrainian forces from the Donbass region that they have occupied and challenged for the past eight years. The uproar from Western nations was as predictable as it was hypocritical. In 2014 an American backed coup took place against […]

The Threatened Peoples of East Asia and Europe Can Stop the U.S. Drive to Restore its Global Domination. “This is not going to be a war of Ukraine and Russia. This is going to be a European war, a full-fledged war.” So spoke Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky just days after berating the US for beating […]

During his visit to Moscow the Syrian Foreign Minister warned of Damascus’ capabilities to retaliate against ongoing airstrikes by Israel.

Russia called to convene the United Nations Security Council this morning to present evidence of military biological activities by the United States in Ukraine. ** The presentation will start at 11 AM ET on Friday morning. US officials have offered varying responses to Russia’s claims. Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland, for […]

All things considered, objective observers should accept that China’s stance towards Ukraine and the undeclared US-provoked missile crisis in Europe fully aligns with its consistent support of international law. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi articulated his country’s principled stance towards Ukraine and European security during his virtual speech at this weekend’s Munich Security Conference. He reaffirmed that “the sovereignty, […]

The dramatic declarations on Monday of independence by Donbass city-states Donetsk  and Lugansk, and Russia’s accompanying military guarantee to protect them against further heavy artillery attack by Kiev forces, illustrate yet again Barbara Tuchman’s classic March of Folly thesis – how often intelligent governments can act foolishly and against  their  best interest:  in this case, illustrated by […]

It is well known that countries of the African continent are mostly poor and need the support of major world powers who in exchange for access to the African nations’ rich natural resources. The US and the PRC are considered the main players vying for influence in Africa these days: media mention them particularly often […]

Saudi Arabia has a stark warning about the dangers of underinvesting in oil. The world’s top oil exporter is cautioning that the underinvestment in oil and gas could spark a new energy crisis. “Net-zero does not mean cherrypicking, net-zero does not mean zero oil.” The world’s top oil exporter, Saudi Arabia, has repeatedly said it […]

The Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov and his United States counterpart Antony Blinken are scheduled to hold a meeting next week at an as yet undisclosed European location. It is difficult to see what the two men have to talk about. Lavrov has recently held meetings in Moscow with his British counterpart Elizabeth Truss. To […]

In light of the grotesquely one-sided Ukrainian war news on the MSM, it can be well and truly said that America circa February 2022 has become the land where history died. From the sophomoric coverage of CNN and NBC, for instance, you would think that Ukraine’s borders have been universally agreed upon by one and […]

The White House argues ongoing US-Canada border blockade amid trucker protests “not related” to vaccine mandate. Truckers at busy Michigan-Ontario bridge disagree As the Ambassador Bridge between Windsor, Ontario and Detroit, Michigan remained closed for trucks as of Tuesday evening, White House press secretary Jen Psaki referred to the issue causing the closure as “sporadic […]

“The primordial interest of the United States, over which for centuries we have fought wars– the First, the Second and Cold Wars– has been the relationship between Germany and Russia, because united there, they’re the only force that could threaten us. And to make sure that that doesn’t happen.” George Friedman, STRATFOR CEO at The […]

The upshot of the Russian response, transmitted to Washington on Thursday, regarding security guarantees may look as if the stalemate is heading toward a war. Moscow has rejected the US’ call for ‘de-escalation’ by pointing out that the Russian troops are deployed on Russian territories; it also rejects the threat of sanctions, which it says is […]

The western mass media and governments have fallen into a frenzy of anti-Russian propaganda over Russia’s military operations in Ukraine. One element of their propaganda war is the claim that Russia’s action is illegal under international law. But is this the case and what does it mean for these countries to make that claim when […]

“Let Freedom Roll” is the slogan of “The People’s Convoy” set to depart Wednesday morning from Adelanto, California, on its way to Washington, DC, to protest federal coronavirus mandates and call for an end to President Joe Biden’s emergency declaration. Convoy organizers Marcus Sommers and Maureen Steele spoke to Breitbart News about their “peaceful” transcontinental movement to […]

As crazy as it may sound to some, Russia embodies my principles much more than the three governments associated with my triple identity. I can’t in good conscience support the American, Polish, and Ukrainian interpretations of this crisis since they’re based on false claims aimed at gaslighting the public into misperceiving Russia as the ‘aggressor’ […]

Why ‘sadly’? Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates said the Covid-19 Omicron variant had “sadly” outpaced world vaccine drives in spreading immunity. The billionaire said ‘next time’ scientists must work better to produce enough vaccines sooner Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates said the Covid-19 Omicron variant had outpaced world vaccine drives in spreading immunity, urging health officials around […]

Wednesday on Fox Business Network’s “Mornings with Maria,” former President Donald Trump ripped President Joe Biden over his poor approval ratings. A recent ABC News/Washington Post poll showed only 37% of adults in the United States approve of the way Biden is handling his job. Citing the rising crime, especially in “Democrat-run cities,” Trump said he didn’t […]

The Putin-Macron Summit can be considered a positive step in the direction of Europe playing a larger role in actively attempting to de-escalate Russian-NATO tensions and resolve the Ukrainian Civil War, but it was far from the game-changing event that the French President misportrayed it as. French President Emmanuel Macron traveled to Moscow on Monday […]

Threw his people into a needless bloody war for the benefit of global warmongers and has left them on their own. Zelensky Has Fled Kiev for Lvov (town 15 kilometers from the Polish border) Russian State Duma Speaker Says On 24 February, Russia launched a military operation in Ukraine after the breakaway republics of Donetsk […]

Israel has warned of a potential crisis with the UAE over an aviation security dispute that is threatening to halt its airlines flights to the Gulf country. Israel’s Shin Bet security service expressed concerns earlier this week over certain unspecified security arrangements at Dubai International Airport and warned that Israeli airlines could halt operations there […]

One look at the surge in oil, gas and various other commodities like wheat, confirms what everyone by now knows: unleashing hell against Russia in the form of the nuclear SWIFT option coupled with central bank sanctions may crush the Russian economy but it will also will lead to a harrowing price shock for ordinary […]

Our forefathers, those brilliant men, who joined together to give us a framework to build our incredible country, were wise enough to plan for the future. They put their lives on the line starting with the Declaration of Independence and the revolution that gave America freedom from England. They then crafted the most unique blueprint […]

Alexander Dugin In an interview for the Tsargrad channel, Alexander Dugin reflects on the unfolding of the conflict in Ukraine and its civilizational, existential elements and as a sign of multipolarity. If the matter were only the restoration of the territorial integrity of the DPR and the LPR – which we recognize as independent states […]

There are few words to describe the depth of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s depravity. I’m not going to even try. This is a person (because no real man would ever govern like him) is so thoroughly ill-prepared for its job it doesn’t even know how to properly read from the prepared script. It was […]

Reports on social media say a loud “explosion” was heard in eastern Ukraine on Saturday . The news comes amid heightened tensions between NATO and Russia Several unverified reports on social media and in local media have claimed that a large bang was heard in the territory of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic in eastern […]

Simply put, the US China containment’ policies have failed miserably. The US is increasingly belligerent in its efforts to stifle China’s rise and pressure its allies to do the same. But none of the tactics – trade wars, “freedom of navigation” operations (FONOPs), pushing allies to ditch Huawei equipment or the Belt and Road Initiative […]

The BEAR Roared and the EAGLE Is Naked This is what happens when a bunch of ragged hyenas, jackals and tiny rodents poke The Bear: a new geopolitical order is born in breathtaking speed. From a dramatic meeting of the Russian Security Council to a history lesson delivered by President Putin and the subsequent birth of […]

An introduction of Polish troops seems the most realistic of the existing options of quick assistance to Ukraine. If this happens, it would be a big victory for London and Washington in the short term, but the consequences of this in the long haul will be hard to predict. Just as Russia continues its peace […]

What the so-called Russian experts and politicians all forget is that the US does not have troops scattered about in Poland, Romania, the Baltic states and other Eastern European late comers to NATO because Washington cares about these countries and feels morally obliged to protect them from Russia, which does not want them. In truth, […]

Economic sanctions serve as a powerful foreign policy tool for the US government. But could this ultimately backfire on the US? Over the last several years, many countries have made a concerted effort to limit dependence on the US dollar. The economic warfare waged against Russia reveals exactly why. The US hit Russia with a […]

In World War II, we Americans did not go to war with Germany for Great Britain, when it declared war on Hitler’s Germany and then was defeated in France. We went to war with Germany only when Hitler declared war on us, four days after Pearl Harbor in December 1941. When several NATO nations revealed […]

The DPR Head Denis Pushilin has signed the decree on mobilization on Saturday morning calling on “all males capable to take up arms to rise to protect their families, children, wives, and mothers.” The head of the Donetsk People’s Republic has called on all able men to stand up to “Kiev’s aggression” The leaders of […]

Canada has moved to make the asset freezing part of its Emergencies Act, which was used to target supporters of the Freedom Convoy protests, a permanent fixture, writes Paul Joseph Watson via Summit News. Wow, who saw that one coming? In order to stop what the Trudeau regime referred to as “illegal blockades,” the government […]

Western audiences, completely in the dark as to the true nature of the Ukrainian standoff, have no idea to the back story that led to the events of February 24, 2022. Despite having at our disposal the most powerful communication technologies ever assembled, people around the world are arguably less knowledgeable about the true nature […]

Partisans the world over prefer to see no evil on their own side. Yet even by the rock-bottom standards of modern politics, it’s appalling to watch the trans-Atlantic liberals elide, excuse, and obfuscate the presence of neo-Nazis and other ideological ghastlies among their champs in places like Ukraine and Hungary. Start with embattled Ukraine. On […]

The Department of Justice has vowed to crack down on ‘corporate greed’. The US Department of Justice will investigate and prosecute those found to be exploiting supply chain issues to make higher profits. The US Department of Justice announced on Thursday that it would investigate and punish companies found to be “exploiting supply chain disruptions […]

My old boss Herman Kahn, with whom I worked at the Hudson Institute in the 1970s, had a set speech that he would give at public meetings. He said that back in high school in Los Angeles, his teachers would say what most liberals were saying in the 1940s and 50s: “Wars never solved anything.” […]

Joe Biden on Tuesday delivered his first State of the Union address. It can be summed up in one short paragraph. Biden’s speech was marred by gaffes – as usual. Joe Biden confused Ukrainians and Iranians and said Putin will pay a high price for his invasion of Ukraine…”and a pound of Ukrainian people.” Putin will […]

See Part I for how RAND and its creed “systems analysis” was created and how Albert Wohlstetter would ultimately become the kingpin of RAND. A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing: the Fabian Society For us to understand what ultimately made Albert Wohlstetter the man he became we must first start with the story of Bertrand Russell. […]

Conservatives’ reluctance to be as assertive as the left has seen them lose valuable ground in the culture wars. Conservatives have given the left free rein to dismantle cultural norms. The time to fight back has arrived.  For too long, the right has given the left not only the leeway to get away with anything, […]

The US State Department has evacuated Ukraine embassy staff from Ukraine to Poland on Monday, amid fears that Russia will launch an attack on Kiev, Bloomberg reports. War fears escalated on Monday, after Vladimir Putin announced that Moscow would immediately recognize the breakaway Donbass republics of Donetsk (DPR) and Lugansk (LPR) as sovereign nations. The […]

VERSAILLES, France – The Ukraine, a former Soviet republic that has sought to join the EU and NATO, has called for fast-track accession to the EU since the Feb. 24 invasion. “I understand very well that, when you fight courageously like Ukraine does, you would want much more. But we are not a side to […]

The info-terrorism campaign that was launched not just against Russia and even the US-led West’s Ukrainian ‘allies’ but also against the entire global public largely succeeded in manipulating popular opinion against Moscow by misportraying this crisis as being over nothing more than a sliver of deindustrialized and war-torn territory along the Ukrainian border. Russian Foreign […]

Kremlin: Putin Yesterday Ordered Russian Forces to Suspend Operation in Ukraine as He Was Expecting Talks With Kiev to Take Place. Russia says it has resumed the military operation in Ukraine after Kiev refused to negotiate Russia’s military operation in Ukraine has continued after the country’s leadership had declined to negotiate, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov […]

Credit Suisse analyst Zoltan Pozsar says Ukraine triggered a perfect storm in commodities that could weaken the Eurodollar system, contribute to inflation in Western economies, and threaten their financial stability. Pozsar said China’s central bank is uniquely placed to backstop such crisis, paving the way for a much stronger yuan. Reuters , Mar. 13, 2022. Saudi Arabia Considers […]

Up until February 23rd, 2022, the powerful countries of the world played a very rarified game. Too many people try to analyze geopolitics like it is a game of chess. Move, counter-move. Push a pawn? Threaten a knight, that type of thing. It’s easy to understand and makes for good copy. In the past I’ve […]

Soldier kicked unarmed Afghan man off cliff before ordering him shot – witness. An Australian special forces soldier has testified to alleged atrocities committed against an unarmed Afghan man. An Australian special forces soldier has testified to atrocities committed by his comrade as part of an unfolding defamation lawsuit against several Australian media outlets. Ben […]

When the state / empire loses the ability to recognize and solve core problems of security and fairness, it will be replaced by another arrangement that is more adaptable and adept at solving problems. From a systems perspective, nation-states and empires arise when they are superior solutions to security compared to whatever arrangement they replace: feudalism, […]

There is a growing discourse about the striking parallels in the situations around Taiwan and Ukraine. Proponents of geopolitics revive the basic tenet of its modern edition, which was originated by Alfred Thayer Mahan and Halford Mackinder. With certain variations, both of them had, over a hundred years ago, proposed the hypothesis of an irreducible […]

Denouncing truckers for “unacceptable views,” Canada’s Prime Minister skipped town rather than face evidence of his own unpopularity. Is neoliberalism finally cracking? On the morning of the 21st of December, 1989, Romanian General Secretary Nicolae Ceaușescu was in a foul mood. The Berlin Wall had fallen, and Mikhail Gorbachev and George H.W. Bush had recently […]

Will ‘freedom convoys’ escalate further in Europe? The situation with Canada-inspired trucker protests is particularly delicate in France because of the upcoming election. The ‘Freedom Convoy’ has well and truly arrived in Europe. Inspired by the protests in Canada, those opposed to mask mandates and Covid passports have descended on Paris and caused a day […]

Data recently released by the New Zealand government showed fully vaccinated individuals developing acquired immunodeficiency syndrome or AIDS, showing major degradation of the immune system. Just like other governments before, the New Zealand Ministry of Health only provides a cumulative total of Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) cases from August 16, 2021, showing misleading numbers considering that the nation […]

According to Director General of Roscosmos Dmitry Rogozin, the technical data makes this rocket invulnerable to both existing and future US and NATO missile defense systems. Russia’s Sarmat missile can hit targets at virtually unlimited ranges, Dmitry Rogozin. Ouch! Sarmat Launch Leaves US a Decade Behind in Nuclear Deterrent VT reports. MOSCOW, April 23. /TASS/. […]

The Russian military confirmed on Friday that it will move up nuclear weapons exercises which had been previously scheduled to take place later the year, as a warning to the West as the Ukraine crisis grows hotter. Typically the drills take place in the fall, but will now be part of the current climate of ‘muscle […]

A little-known aspect of the disastrous Western occupation of Afghanistan was that UK and Australian companies sought to access the country’s $3 trillion worth of untapped minerals – with little regard for the welfare of Afghans. The Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan in August last year has caused the country to implode. It was already on […]

Civil liberties have been sacrificed to the culture war. Last month I gave a speech at the ‘Kill the Bill’ rally in Westminster, with a bunch of fellow lefties who were rightly angry at Priti Patel’s proposed Policing Bill, which would have essentially outlawed protests. Jeremy Corbyn was there (obviously), as were other well-known names […]

Edible oil prices soared this week, prompting fears that record-high food prices could be imminent. On Wednesday, soybean oil futures in Chicago hit their highest levels since 2008, and palm oil, the commodity used in thousands of food products, jumped to new highs. Soybean prices increased 1.4% to 71 cents per pound, the highest level […]

Propaganda isn’t just about manufacturing consent for wars and ridiculous governmental measures we’d never normally accept. That’s what most people think of when they hear that word, but there’s so very, very much more to it than that. The lion’s share of propaganda goes not toward convincing us to accept new agendas of the powerful, […]

Another Sunday, and Biden’s national security adviser is at it again making the rounds on the big network news shows, warning the Russian invasion will invade Ukraine “any day now” – at this point a familiar refrain we’ve heard for multiple weeks running… “We cannot perfectly predict the day, but we have now been saying for […]

Should we censor false information from Putin? The problem with censorship, in this case, is less about the rights of Russian propagandists as it is about the rights of other people to hear them. These words of George Orwell strike me as relevant: “A phrase much used in political circles in this country is ‘playing […]

The Russian Defence Ministry earlier announced that the United States had poured money into biological research facilities in Ukraine, alleging they may have been used in order to create biological weapons and conduct bat coronavirus-related experiments. Among the goals of the biological research laboratories in Ukraine suspected of having been funded by the United States […]

It’s easy for folks to get caught up in the US-led West’s pressure to classify any given state as taking one side or another while ignoring those that have impressively remained neutral, but it would be best for everyone to appreciate the many countries in that last-mentioned category a lot more than they presently are. […]

Three United States military doctors have blown the whistle on documents allegedly from The United States Department of Defense (DoD) that they had access to, which show “skyrocketing rates of disease” since the introduction and mandating of the CCP virus vaccines in armed forces, human rights attorney Leigh Dundas told The Epoch Times. Dundas was recently approached […]

A Government of National Unity should be overseen by the UN, if possible, or else allow Yemen to split into North and South Yemen as per pre-1990 boundaries. In military history, the term “we learn from history, that we never learned from history” could be no truer than in Yemen. Two wars are raging in […]

As soon as Moscow received an American response to its security demands in Ukraine, it answered indirectly by announcing greater military integration between it and three South American countries, Nicaragua, Venezuela and Cuba. Washington’s response, on January 26, to Russia’s demands of withdrawing NATO forces from Eastern Europe and ending talks about a possible Kyiv membership in […]

If there was one thing that predictably united the usually squabbling Roman elite, it was the emergence of a perceived threat to Rome’s Mediterranean and near-continental hegemony. To some degree, however difficult to calculate, it is impossible to deny that the dissolution of the Soviet Union has been responsible for the increasing polarization of American […]

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is seeking to block federally funded housing organizations from incentivizing child trafficking promoted by President Joe Biden’s border crisis by stripping their licenses to operate. The Republican first directed the Florida Department of Children and Families to look into the situation in September, followed by an emergency rule in December that […]

The two breakaway regions are locked in a bloody territorial dispute with Kiev. Moscow will recognize the borders that Donetsk and Lugansk define, Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov says. Russia will acknowledge the borders of the two breakaway republics of Donetsk and Lugansk in line with where local leaders exercise authority and jurisdiction, the Kremlin has announced, […]

The Russian Federation has agreed to postpone the payment of certain debts owed to it by the Republic of Cuba, the country that for decades struggle with inhuman US sanctions, allowing the island country until 2027 to repay billions of dollars worth in foreign debt. These debts, worth a total of $2.3 billion, are the result […]
