President Putin’s pragmatic proposals should be seen as a public attempt to resolve the US-provoked crisis in Russian-Ukrainian relations that’s occurring within the context of the much more significant US-provoked missile crisis in Europe. Russian President Vladimir Putin shared several pragmatic proposals for improving relations with Ukraine during a press conference on Tuesday. These are that country’s […]

On Thursday’s broadcast of “CBS Evening News,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken responded to a question on whether the United States will cut off purchases of oil and gas from Russia over its invasion of Ukraine by stating that we’re trying to ensure “that we inflict maximum pain on Russia” while at the same time, […]

Genuine ‘grassroots revolution’ or NATO-backed coup? Here are the facts to help you decide. As Russia actually do launch an invasion or “special operation” in Ukraine, we thought now was a good time to recap on how we got here. The historical, political and ethnic divisions in Ukraine go back decades, if not centuries, but […]

On February 28th, Human Rights Watch (HRW) headlined “With War, Censorship Reaches New Heights”, and reported only against this censorship as practiced in Russia, as-if it were not also being done in America. The only even mention of its being practiced in America was in the second — the subordinate — clause of their sentence “Roskomnadzor announced that it would partially restrict […]

FOX News reporter Steve Harrigan was on America’s Newsroom on FOX News this morning and he discussed his perceptions of Ukraine after returning from there recently. The situation in Ukraine is very sad and dire.  Ukraine cannot beat Russia.  They are surrounded. Mediaite reported on Harrigan’s discussion on FOX: Fox News reporter Steve Harrigan returned from Ukraine […]

Few are listening any more to the clueless Justin Trudeaus and bumbling Joe Bidens and all the toxic hypocrisies they embody… Canada is now governed by absurdism, and it is symptomatic of an ailing Western elite. Liberal Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau last week invoked martial law to arrest and financially destroy truckers on the […]

Pavel Kiselev The provocation of war on the territory of Ukraine was planned by the United States for a long time, and this seems to them the right step towards the destruction of Russia. In 2019, the US think tank RAND Corporation released a report on Russia’s weakening and demoralizing program called Overextending and Unbalancing […]

The NSTC represents the physical convergence of Russia’s southern-focused grand strategic plans of balancing the Iranian-Pakistani anchors of its Ummah Pivot in this particular part of the supercontinent with the Neo-NAM that it’s jointly pursuing with India. The trans-civilizational optics are immensely important since they speak to the fact that Huntington’s so-called ‘Clash of Civilizations’ […]

Two days after Russia attacked Ukraine and the day before Vladimir Putin put Russia on nuclear alert, I wrote a little article whose first sentence was: “Not wanting to sound hyperbolic, but I am starting to conclude that the nuclear madmen running the U.S./NATO New Cold War they started decades ago are itching to start a nuclear […]

The Western countries will suffer every bit as much as Russia will, and quite possibly more considering that Russia has proven its ability to weather sanctions due to the growth of its domestic production base. Despite all the hysterical talk about a ‘Russian invasion’ of Ukrainian territory, Russian President Vladimir Putin, using nothing more dangerous […]

The energy sector is facing shortages on all sides, with commodity prices soaring around the world and very little hope that it will be solved in the near term. Frac sand is the latest vital material that the energy industry can’t get enough of, a shortage that will hinder the ability of U.S. shale producers […]

Is President Joe Biden responsible for today’s 40-year-high inflation? While it is politically expedient for opponents to lay the blame on the White House, there are many factors contributing to this inflationary environment, such as the Federal Reserve printing one-third of all U.S. dollars ever created in the nation’s history, the global supply chain crisis, and output […]

The U.S. military called it routine activity, but China called it “provocative” as a warship sailed through the Taiwan Strait on Saturday. According to the 7th Fleet, the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Ralph Johnson was transiting international waters on a “routine” basis. “The ship’s transit through the Taiwan Strait demonstrates the United States’ commitment […]

The move comes in response to hostile rhetoric by top NATO officials, Russia’s president has explained. President Vladimir Putin placed the country’s strategic deterrence forces on “special” alert on Sunday, announcing the move during a meeting with Russia’s Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu and Chief of Staff Valery Gerasimov. “Western countries are not only taking unfriendly actions against […]

When I was a kid – and the same with my parents when they were young – you could count on certain fundamentals in politics. The Chamber of Commerce represented business, and business generally favored free enterprise. Not always, but mostly. Small businesses could become big and big could become small, but they generally opposed […]

If Russia doesn’t invade Ukraine, there will be a lot of disappointed Progressives in this country.  The Left has been using Russia as the “bad guy” for years now.  Russia served well for a while to keep Trump preoccupied and prevent him from doing too much damage to their programs.  Now that Covid is winding […]

The powers that be are finally admitting that the United States is running biological weapons facilities in Ukraine that are among the likely targets of the Russian invasion. But as we have come to expect, the military-industrial complex talking heads are already preemptively blaming Russia for a potential impending false flag attack. Neoconservative deep state hack Victoria […]

Prishtina says it is in an ‘immediate need’ of US military base (it already has a large US military base – Bondstil) to “maintain peace” in the Balkans. Back in 1999, NATO launched a 78-day illegal bombing campaign in former Yugoslavia committing war crimes against civilians, ostensibly to ‘protect civilians’ during an insurgency of ethnic […]

Alastair Crooke Today’s zeitgeist is that all politics is but a Manichaean tapestry of the ‘good’ and those who have failed to ‘decolonise’ from their past. The war taking place in Ukraine has been understood on one side – the wider western view – in terms of the secular expression of today’s western culture. Typically, […]

Western governments are increasingly using their power to decide what is ‘real’ or ‘fake’ news, and what is right or wrong. They are depriving citizens of the possibilities to decide for themselves, and to look into other opinions and alternative sources. If you, like me, were born in the late 20th century, you must have read […]

“No matter who tries to stand in our way… they must know that Russia will respond immediately, and the consequences will be such as you have never seen in your entire history…. I hope that my words will be heard.” Vladimir Putin issues warning to any country that tries to stop Russia’s “Special Operation” in […]

Dmitry Medvedev has called for tit-for-tat measures over the freezing of Russian assets abroad. Former President and Deputy Chairman of the Security Council Dmitry Medvedev says Moscow may nationalize foreign assets if Russians’ funds are seized by West. The former Russian president, Dmitry Medvedev, hasn’t ruled out nationalizing the Russian-based assets of foreigners registered in […]

Recognizing the Donbass Republics might be considered a so-called ‘escalation’ among some foreign observers who don’t have a proper understanding of the grand strategic dynamics at play but it’s actually a clever attempt to change the local military-political calculations. This is meant to encourage the US-led West and especially the increasingly independent French to enter […]

Today, it is clear that the beginning of Russia’s special military operation on the territory of Ukraine on February 24 this year was a landmark moment in the modern stage of world history. Regardless of the evaluation of this operation, its objectives and legitimacy, one thing is clear today – it has already become the […]

Ukrainian troops are leaving their positions and there is no threat to civilians, the Russian armed forces has said. Moscow insists its forces are not attacking cities. DPR, LPR militias conducting joint operation with Russian forces to liberate Donbass areas – DPR People’s Militia deputy commander Eduard Basurin said on Thursday. Ukrainian soldiers are abandoning their […]

After publishing the materials about the traces of shamanism in Yoon Suk-yeol’s case, the author received many comments asking him to clarify this case in more detail. Therefore, it was decided to offer some more insights on such issues as shamanism and politics in South Korea. Despite traditional role and popularity in the society, the […]

Here’s our Friday roll-up of the most ridiculous stories from around the world that are threats to your liberty, risks to your prosperity… and on occasion, inspiring poetic justice. Don’t Forget to Wear a Mask During a Nuclear Holocaust! Many people don’t realize the biggest risk during global nuclear war is actually COVID. That’s why […]

Yesterday, President Trump proposed a full forensic audit of the Zuckerbucks used to buy the 2020 election while speaking at CPAC in Florida: “A Republican Congress should launch a select committee, as opposed to an unselect committee, to get to the bottom of big tech’s 2020 interference. Lets find out who made the decision to […]

On February 24, the Syrian Arab news agency SANA reported that the United States was sending another military escort to Syria, which again acknowledged Washington’s ongoing occupation policy in this Middle Eastern country. It has been continued since 2014 without any UN sanctions and without any permission from official Damascus authorities. The US military convoy […]

Poland is a NATO member and any attack on a NATO member brings the United States into the war anyway. On Tuesday, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken told Face the Nation the US would “greenlight” Poland sending fighter jets to Ukraine. Later in the day, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby issued a statement indicating it would not allow Poland […]

An American truckers convoy, reprising the hugely successful campaign in Canada in which drivers crossed most of the nation, ended up in Ottawa and convinced multiple provinces to drop COVID demands, has launched in California. It’s destination? Washington, D.C., where politicians already are fearing the sight of hundreds of drivers at the Capitol, and so […]

By Ye Xie, Bloomberg markets live commentator and analyst The U.S. expanded sanctions against Russia on Wednesday after President Vladimir Putin moved to recognize breakaway territories in Ukraine as independent states. The standoff may further Moscow’s de-dollarization movement and see the Chinese yuan play a more-important role in Russia’s trade and finance. The initial global implications from […]

The purpose of this piece is to debunk the top ten infowar narratives about this conflict in order to enlighten readers about the truth of what’s really happening and why. What comes next is a list of false narratives followed by the motivation behind them and then their concise debunking. Russia’s special operation to demilitarize […]

While it was no surprise that China abstained when the UN Security Council voted to condemn Russia’s operation in Ukraine, the abstentions from the UAE and India were more surprising. This vote highlights that Washington’s ability to counter the influence of China and Russia in the Middle East is limited. The fading influence of the […]

Nepali police fired tear gas and water cannons at protesters objecting to a U.S.-funded infrastructure program presented to parliament on Sunday for ratification, witnesses and officials in the capital told CNN. The protesters said the grant would undermine Nepal’s laws and sovereignty, and they said it wouldn’t provide enough oversight power to lawmakers with regard […]

It admittedly sounds strange to write about India and Pakistan of all countries practicing very similar policies during a global crisis, especially with respect to Russia, but such is the curious state of contemporary International Relations that has thus far defied so many observers’ expectations. The US-led West is extremely displeased with India and Pakistan […]

Poland is officially pleased with everything that the US has done to regionally provoke Russia – especially America’s deployment of ‘anti-missile systems’ and strike weapons near its border intended to gradually neutralize its target’s nuclear second-strike capabilities – but it might feel more comfortable with America ‘leading from the front’ with respect to dispatching jets […]

Israeli defense and intelligence officials have owned up to the brazen assassination of a senior Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) officer, which took place in Tehran on Sunday. A pair of unidentified gunmen drove up to IRGC Col. Hassan Sayyad Khodaei as he sat in his car outside his home. The Quds Force colonel was shot five […]

The illegal Turkish military presence in Iraq is a blatant violation of that country’s territorial integrity. While Ankara claims it is a national security priority, it actually uses this military cover to influence and manage Iraqi and regional affairs. Almost 100 years after the Treaty of Ankara (1926), Iraq-Turkey relations remain fraught. Despite various disputes […]

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 […]

Moscow’s announcement that some troops are withdrawing from near the border with Ukraine has sparked a media storm. Does Russia’s order to pull back some troops from the Ukrainian border mean there will be no invasion as many predicted?  As Western leaders and pundits issued fresh warnings that a Russian invasion of Ukraine could take […]

The most consistent component of the quintessential ‘American Dream’ is undoubtedly the goal of homeownership. Ensure your kids have better opportunities than you did; work hard and save for a happy retirement; and buy a modest home with a white picket fence with the mortgage being paid off by the time you hit your golden […]

“De-escalation and diplomacy are the only way to secure peace,” said British MP Jeremy Corbyn. The urgency of diplomatic steps to avert a war in Eastern Europe reached new heights Tuesday following Russian President Vladimir Putin’s move to recognize two breakaway regions in Ukraine as independent and deploy troops—described as peacekeeping forces—to the Donbas, heightening fears of […]

Beijing has pledged to defend Chinese companies and individuals trading with Russia against America’s wishes. China criticized US sanctions imposed on Russian trade and promised to protect its firms facing pressure from Washington. China will protect its companies and people who have come under threat of US sanctions over trading with Russia, a spokesman for […]

What I am writing here I have been warned against. As we move toward the last full week of February 2022, we are told that the world is at the brink of a war. But who believes this? Certainly, anyone reading the Western media, you know the ones, CNN, the BBC, the Guardian, all but […]

  Russian President Putin has claimed that he ordered the invasion of Ukraine to “denazify” its government, while Western officials, such as former U.S. Ambassador to Moscow Michael McFaul, have called this pure propaganda, insisting, “There are no Nazis in Ukraine.” In the context of the Russian invasion, the post-2014 Ukrainian government’s problematic relations with extreme right-wing […]

The ideological face-off of forces is one of genuine anti-fascists on the Donbass side fighting against faux ‘anti-fascists’ on Kiev’s, the latter of whom are genuine fascists. This makes the first-mentioned genuine volunteers while the second are genuine mercenaries even though the unaware observer might consider them both to be volunteers or mercenaries. President Putin expressed […]

Back in 2014, the people were upset that the US was selecting the new leadership following the fall of Yanukovich. They were told if they revolted against the new regime, that they would receive no support from the West. The revolution was the people but everyone from the US to George Soros were desperately trying […]

The Central Intelligence Agency has been collecting American’s private data without any oversight or even the minimal legal safeguards that apply to the NSA and FBI, an unconstitutional affront to our civil liberties. According to a declassified report released last week by the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (PCLOB), the CIA’s surveillance program is […]

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. […]

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 […]

Hunter Biden’s firm Rosemont Seneca provided capital for the firms behind the creation of Biolabs in Ukraine.   We heard on Tuesday from the US State Department that there were US Biolabs in Ukraine. Then on Wednesday the Biden regime backtracked and insisted there were no US-funded Biolabs in Ukraine. Why the sudden confusing messaging from the Biden […]

The Ukraine crisis bewilders Russians. And Europeans, too. Putin says he does not want to invade Ukraine. NATO has no proof Russia prepares invasion. If Ukraine prepares an attack, it will lose its statehood, Putin says. NATO demands Russia withdraw its 100,000 troops from Ukraine’s vicinity. Russia says the troops are stationed on its territory. […]

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 […]

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 […]

Alexander Dugin Probably only few people paid serious attention to the fact that the Fourth Political Theory, which I adhere to, pays the most serious attention to the criticism of nationalism. Most striking is the criticism of liberalism and the rejection of Marxist dogma. But equally necessary and fundamental is the radical rejection of not […]

The Biden administration may believe otherwise, but the truth is that the days when the United States could dictate how everyone else in the world is going to behave have come to an end.  Russia is demonstrating how weak the U.S. has become by moving troops into Donetsk and Luhansk.  And China keeps talking about […]

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 […]

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 […]

With Russian forces advancing on his country’s major cities, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s first tendency has been to become an authoritarian leader even as he pleads for international assistance under the guise that his country yearns for “freedom” and “democracy.” According to reports this week, Zelenskyy banned 11 political parties he said showed some loyalty to […]

Had Russia submitted to the US’ attempted nuclear blackmail, Washington would have immediately set its sights on China, after which it would have restored its declining unipolar hegemony over the planet if it subsequently succeeded in strategically neutralizing that country too. The author warned earlier this week that “Kiev Must Withdraw From Donetsk & Lugansk […]

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 […]

An alleged Israeli airstrike near Syria’s capital of Damascus reportedly led to the deaths of three Syrian soldiers. Several Syrian military servicemen have been killed after missiles targeted an area in the vicinity of Damascus, Syria’s state media reported. The country’s anti-missile defenses shot down most of the projectiles that have also inflicted material damage, […]

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 […]

When our so-called western leaders tell you that Russia will invade the Ukraine and that they know exactly what day Russia will invade the Ukraine, without providing any evidence, you know that the western powers are up to something very sinister. The latest chapter in the American propaganda show went to a new level of […]

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 […]

Ukraine’s military is badly defeated by Russia, despite Western support and Russia’s divorce from Europe looks to be over and along with it is the birth of our much anticipated Multipolar World. At the time of writing the war in Ukraine has been going on for a handful of days and thanks to the power […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

“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 […]

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 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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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.

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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: […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

One of the most successful disinformation campaigns in modern American electoral history occurred in the weeks prior to the 2020 presidential election.

  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 […]

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.

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 […]

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.

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 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 […]

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 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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. The Soviet-era Tu-141 “Strizh” reconnaissance drone, likely operated by Ukraine’s military (given as the Associated Press noted that it’s the only known country currently operating […]

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 […]

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 […]

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!

Finland may be viewed as “the happiest place to live” but not if you value free speech.

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 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. Moscow will act as a guarantor of the security and integrity of the two breakaway Donbass republics in […]

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 […]

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 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 […]

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. In a speech hosted by the Heritage Foundation in Washington, Oliver Dowden dubbed “woke” ideology as a “dangerous form of […]

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 […]

Aaron Mate and Max Blumenthal speak with Deputy Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN Dmitri Polyanskiy on escalated tensions on the Russian-Ukraine border, US accusations of an imminent Russian invasion, and the context missing from a US media that refuses to interview Russian officials.

  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. […]

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.

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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.

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 […]

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.

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 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.

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.

“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.

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.

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 […]

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.

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 […]
