A day after the January 16th hostage-taking at the Colleyville Beth Israel synagogue in Texas, near Fort Worth, the media reported that, “FBI and local police breached the building and ended the hostages’ 12-hour ordeal.” Details were murky and the media, ever malfunctioning, remained chronically incurious about the story’s nuances. Unclear was what transpired toward […]

A confidential Pfizer document has confirmed that the company’s coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine causes vaccine-associated enhanced disease (VAED). VAED occurs when a vaccinated individual develops a more severe case of the disease after getting exposed to the virus that the vaccine is supposed to defend against. The company’s report also includes a section talking about the potential risk of […]

Africa is a vast continent, rich in resources of every kind – in addition to its famous diamond mines and hydrocarbon deposits, it has 50% of the world’s gold reserves, and 90% of its reserves of platinum, cobalt, chrome and other minerals required by modern manufacturing industries. And the continent’s vast and largely very poor […]

The February 7 Times featured an opinion column by Prime Minister Boris Johnson, laying out Britain’s plans for a military escalation in Eastern Europe and Ukraine, targeting Russia.

Amid the unrelenting threat posed by secret US bio-labs against Russia, China and several post-Soviet republics in Central Asia,  a number of news reports in recent days in the Western media have unwittingly drawn attention. On the one hand, the US as well as the British media have acknowledged in numerous statements by their experts […]

For the time being at least, diplomacy is still ongoing, which speaks to the suggestion that Russia isn’t yet ready to resort to kinetic means for ensuring its national security red lines. This also hints that they haven’t yet been fully crossed either otherwise Moscow would likely have already acted. Russian President Putin publicly addressed the undeclared US–provoked missile crisis in Europe during a […]

Last summer, the president of Belarus grounded an international flight to detain a journalist and, as a result, was sanctioned by the U.S. Now, those sanctions are causing Biden a major headache as the lack of Belarussian potash is causing a massive price spike for fertilizers US Farmers are calling on the Biden administration to […]

The CIA has been overseeing a secret training program for Ukrainian special operations forces and intelligence operatives since 2015, Yahoo News reported on Thursday, citing five former intelligence and national security officials.

England’s virus vaccine mandates for health care and care home workers are set to be scrapped, subject to consultation and parliamentary approval, the UK’s Health Secretary Sajid Javid said on Monday.

Canada has declared a state of emergency in crackdown on trucker protests, first time since the two world wars and a Quebec insurrection that allows jailing and confiscating property and money from anyone suspecting of holding “unacceptable views”. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has invoked the Emergencies Act for the first time to squash the […]

Recognizing Taipei isn’t an insurance policy against US meddling; it’s a guarantee that US meddling will become institutionalized to the detriment of that country’s people. Those governments who begin practicing comparatively more independent policies risk being punished despite still recognizing Taipei exactly as Nicaragua’s recently was. China reopened its embassy in Nicaragua on New Year’s […]

Despite its pedigree as a fundamental element in civilization’s greatest stories, nostalgia has come to be associated with treacly sentimentality, defeatism, and spurious spiritual inclinations. Homer, Vergil, Dante, the Biblical writers, and their ilk would demur, of course, but they have been dead for a few years, so progress’s mantra urges us to get on […]

A collective West “led” by unspeakable mediocrities looks at the Russia-China strategic partnership as if it was something like a double-headed Anti-Christ. Xi, for his part, seems not to be impressed. The virtual, special address by President Xi Jinping to the World Economic Forum’s 2022 Davos Agenda exhibits all the elements of a riddle inside an enigma. […]

The Southeast Asian country of Myanmar continues to suffer from ongoing political violence which began in February 2021 after the nation’s military ousted the government of Aung San Suu Kyi and her National League for Democracy (NLD) party. Remnants of the ousted government are now reorganized as the exiled “National Unity Government” (NUG). The NUG […]

Tensions are mounting throughout the world concerning the possibility of a war between Russia and Ukraine. One question that has experts on edge is what role China might play in such a conflict, and how such an event could set a dangerous precedent for China’s global ambitions—particularly in relation to Taiwan. Russia has demanded that Ukraine never be allowed to join NATO. As of this week, it has amassed 130,000 troops […]

Togolese Foreign Minister Robert Dussey met with his Iranian counterpart, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, in Tehran on 24 January to discuss the expansion of diplomatic relations, economic investment, and infrastructure development.

War is used to divert American public attention from government corruption and incompetence The US is a de facto one-party state where the ideology of national security is sacrosanct, unsustainable debt props up the empire, and the primary business is war. When all else fails, when you are clueless about how to halt a 7.5% […]

Moscow insists that its demand for halting NATO expansionism is inviolable. Washington insists on rejecting that. The gap in diplomacy is becoming a dangerous abyss. American and NATO officials contend that Russia has no right to demand that Ukraine be excluded from membership of the military alliance. Such a demand is a non-starter, they say. […]

Tucker Carlson reflects on the state of America’s democracy, highlighting the gap between what the country’s leaders care about and what Americans care about.

Democracy, […]

Fears of a military invasion are not rising, says bloc’s chief diplomat No new information has been revealed that has increased fears of an immediate Russian invasion of Ukraine, the EU’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs has said, as worries over a potential war in Eastern Europe remain high. Speaking on Monday after talks with […]

  Over the past several days, the news story that has dominated British news headlines, and consequently, the news headlines of the rest of the Western world, is controversy over a leaked email confirming Boris Johnson’s attendance at a Downing Street garden party in May 2020 – a time when the Summer weather is usually at […]

According to military terminology, a multiple front war occurs when opposing forces engage on geographically separate fronts or “frontiers” in order to increase their chances of success. These battlefronts are contested, armed frontiers that can be local or tactical fronts, and can also become what is termed a “theater.” The term “home front” denotes battle in civilian […]

Germany’s CDU political party is considering dropping the word ‘Christian’ from its name in order to appeal to a more diverse demographic. The party, which was in power for 16 years before last year’s election, is worried that the word is preventing it from attracting non-Christian members. This is based on concerns surrounding a decline […]

When it comes to resisting any form of tyranny, a common assertion is that if you make any comparisons to Nazi Germany you lose the argument. Really? Consider this: On August 25, 2021 “We For Humanity,” an international association of doctors, scientists, lawyers, journalists, and other professionals, wrote a letter to government agencies in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and […]

In March of 1963, a great man came to Washington, stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, and changed the world by speaking from his heart about his dream.  Simple words that continue to resonate through time. We all stand on the shoulders of giants.  The simple truths are what matter most.  Honest words, […]

Yemen’s ruling Ansarallah movement has warned of further strikes against the UAE if it continues its occupation of the country.

The US has a track record of successfully organizing Color Revolutions all across the world. It also has the socio-political infrastructure inside of Ukraine via US-led Western NGOs and related intelligence agencies (some of which are one and the same) to carry this out if it really wanted to. Ukraine arrested some people on Monday who it […]

Mexican cartels are making billions of dollars from drug trafficking, human smuggling, and exploiting the U.S. border, said Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas). Border Patrol agents apprehended more than 1.3 million illegal immigrants crossing into Texas from Mexico in 2021. Hundreds of thousands more weren’t captured. Seizures of the deadly synthetic opioid, fentanyl, have sharply increased, […]

Overnight, truckers with the Freedom Convoy who have gathered in Coutts, Alberta near the border with Montana managed to refuel and re-supply as supporters continued to contribute to keep the protests going even as the RCMP continue to surround them in a blockade that has disrupted commerce – something the government has tried to blame […]

The involvement of the Russian-led CSTO shows regional powers are settling their own scores The bloody civil conflict in Kazakhstan, and the speed with which it has spiraled, has taken the world by surprise – so much so that politicians and analysts seem to have struggled to come up with narratives to describe events. Western […]

Thousands of Canadians protested against COVID-19 mandates and restrictions on Jan. 22 as part of the World Wide Rally For Freedom demonstrations that took place in 34 cities across the country and more than 180 cities around the world.

This article first published by Global Research in March 2014 at the very outset of the Ukraine crisis explains the nature of the Kiev proxy regime. We are dealing with a Neo-Nazi government supported by “Western democracy” and the “international community”.  According to the New York Times, “The United States and the European Union have […]

There is no doctrinal statement in American diplomatic history that is more fundamental than the Monroe Doctrine.  It was designed to draw a strategic line between the New World and the Old, and to alert the European powers that their political influence and presence was no longer welcome in the Western Hemisphere.  No doctrinal statement […]

“We are considering long-term adjustment in our posture and that includes establishing battle groups in the southeast of the alliance meaning Romania but also other countries around the Black Sea Region,” NATO secretary-general Jens Stoltenberg announced Friday. He unveiled that the alliance is mulling a more permanent and bigger Black Sea region presence while at a press […]

It seems reasonable to expect we will have this crisis with us – in its various forms – for at least the next two years, Alastair Crooke writes. Macron in a remarkably frank interview with a French Journal put his finger on the main structural problems facing the EU: He lambasted the fact that the […]

Because the culture of fear for some in the Soviet Union has shifted over to America, Tim Kirby writes. As the dear regular readers of the Strategic Culture Foundation know the organization’s U.S.-based contributors have been threatened with substantial fines for creating material for it. Thankfully, I have not been “U.S.-based” for over a decade, […]

Research confirms that, unlike in the Western media, there is no single Ukraine, and the differences between the inhabitants of individual regions are significant and potentially antagonising. Regardless of the war propaganda – the dreams of young Ukrainians do not differ from the hopes and expectations of their peers from other peripheral parts of the […]

I hope you know this by now, but on Christmas morning the Russian military announced a sizable troop withdrawal from Russian territory near Ukraine. The New York Post’s Eileen AJ Connelly jumped on the story. At noon Saturday her piece, “Over 10,000 Russian troops leaving Ukraine border region after month of drills”, was posted. While the drawdown […]

At Fuchu Air Station’s Elint, we were constantly reminded that our enemy was communism – Russian, Chinese, North Korean communism – and warned that there were communist spies in our midst. We were instructed to always be on guard. That was not new. In Tokyo before my time, starting in 1946 in the early Occupation […]

The events of three decades ago are haunting the politics of the present With Russia challenging Western unilateralism in a way not seen since the end of the Soviet Union, two major issues keep coming to the fore. Both, it seems, are centered on America’s flagship military bloc, NATO. First, there is Moscow’s claim that […]

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned international corporate media and world leaders like President Joe Biden for publicly predicting imminent war with Russia on Friday, stating that the panic caused by these statements cost Ukraine 12.5 billion hryvnia (about $437 million) in foreign investment.

The People’s Republic shrewdly avoids taking sides in any dispute, instead always calling on all parties to behave responsibly and reminding everyone of international law. That’s precisely what it did with respect to the undeclared US-provoked missile crisis in Europe. Those members of the Alt-Media Community (AMC) who fantasize about a so-called “alliance” between Russia and China […]

It’s fair to presume that multiple interest groups were behind the latest events and their portrayal: grassroots forces, prominent personalities, Western NGOs, the Serbian government itself, and perhaps competing ‘green’ oligarchic forces. The takeaway is that Serbia is still a laboratory for experimenting with socio-political trends. Serbian President Vucic condemned Western NGOs for what he claimed were […]

“It isn’t hate to speak the truth.” — J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter books, Twitter, June 6, 2020. “An entire generation are puzzled by the idea that anyone has the right to say things they don’t agree with…for most people, true free speech has ceased to exist…. On some issues, such as the transgender […]

The world economy could be headed for the “mother of all” supply chain stumbles. That’s the warning from HSBC economists who caution that if the highly infectious omicron variant which is already swamping much of the global economy spreads across Asia, especially China, then disruption to manufacturing will be inevitable. “Temporary, one would hope, but hugely […]

77 years in the Grand Scheme of Things, is not so long ago, (it is almost like yesterday), yet, today, it seems that everywhere you look in the World around us, there is a concerted effort being made to re-initiate the events that led up to 1939, in the hope that, somehow, second time around […]

Breitbart News senior contributor Peter Schweizer on Sunday revealed how the Biden family have profited from business with individuals “linked to the highest levels of Chinese intelligence.” Schweizer, the author of Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win, said Biden’s son Hunter, while the elder Biden was serving as both vice president and president, […]

Demonstrators turned out in the capital of the Czech Republic, Prague en mass to protest the government’s Covid policies Thousands of people took part in a protest against Covid-19 restrictions in Prague, the Czech Republic on Sunday, claiming that the current restrictions are a “road to hell.” The demonstrators protested against the government’s Covid-19 policies, […]

The Republican proposal to pre-emptively sanction Russia over the Nord Stream 2 pipeline ran into opposition Democrats in the US Senate blocked the Republican proposal for sanctions against Russia over the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, saying it didn’t help Ukraine and denied President Joe Biden “leverage” to deal with the Kremlin. Proposed by Ted Cruz […]

The Alt-Media Community is mostly an echo chamber of well-intended but very naïve wishful thinkers who sincerely believe that those three countries are forming an anti-Western ‘alliance’…In their mind, any military drills – especially trilateral ones – no matter how small and tactical are seen as proof of this. China, Iran, and Russia just carried […]

Troops are pulling out according to schedule, bloc’s chief indicates Soldiers from the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) are leaving Kazakhstan having achieved their objectives, now that the region has been stabilized, the head of the six-member military alliance announced on Thursday.

Despite for much of last week seeking to downplay Washington’s rhetoric of an “imminent” Russian invasion, given the panic it unleashed among the Ukrainian population, President Volodymyr Zelensky is now seeking to greatly expand his army, also a moment Kiev is using the opportunity to gain more US weaponry and money. On Tuesday Zelensky signed a […]

China’s BRI has set its sights on 20 Arab states, many of them already participants, to bolster the economic fortunes of West Asia. West Asia’s winds have changed. When Syria began 2022 by joining China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), it became the 20th Arab country that Beijing has factored into its grand connectivity vision […]

The cascading tensions between Russia and the United States brought into play the Russian-Chinese “comprehensive strategic partnership of cooperation”. The topic has been the stuff of animated discussion among strategic thinkers lately. But opinions varied. The rubrics attached to the partnership by western analysts speak for themselves — “unholy alliance”; “alliance of autocracies”; “strategic partnership […]

  The surveillance activities of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Portland and other American cities earlier this year is reminiscent of FBI-CIA-NSA efforts to disrupt anti-Vietnam protest groups in the 1960s and 1970s. In 2021, FBI agents, dressed in plainclothes,  were embedded in Portland’s racial justice protests.  Agents alerted local police to potential arrests. […]

The US is actively meddling in India’s foreign policy by trying to provoke misguided grassroots resistance to its Russian-friendly dimension, which is completely contrary to the official spirit of friendship between these fellow Quad partners. The US’ ongoing information warfare campaign against India aimed at driving a wedge between it and Russia carried out its […]

On the surface, casual observers might be forgiven for thinking that Russia’s security guarantee requests do indeed amount to an undeclared sphere of influence that’s occurring at the expense of the Central & Eastern European countries’ sovereignty, but that’s actually not the case if one takes the time to think more deeply about it. The […]

So Putin has finally made a move, issuing a decree formally recognizing the sovereignty of the separatist-held Donbas territories in eastern Ukraine known as the DPR and LPR. Russian troops are being deployed to the region in what Putin describes as a “peacekeeping” mission amid a dramatic spike in ceasefire violations. “The recognition of the DPR […]

Brussels is conspicuously absent from critical talks with Moscow The EU has hit out after it was effectively excluded from security talks between Russia and the US. The fate of the world may have once been decided in Western European capitals, but now it seems to be out of their hands. However, it seems increasingly […]

Russia and China are two powerful countries, and their relations are essential for the entire world.

President Nayib Bukele led the push to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender alongside the U.S. dollar. El Salvador’s Legislative Assembly made the country the first to do so in June. But slaves are not allowed to create or use other currencies except the one through we all throughout the world are kept financially enslaved. SAN […]

The mid-20th-century Protestant theologian Reinhold Niebuhr would have recognized the irony of a foreign policy that continually enters alliances (both covertly and overtly) with groups and causes that are themselves the very antithesis of the values that the US foreign-policy and defense establishments claim they are defending the world over. Over the past several years, the weaponization […]

Just what America needs — Another endless war, but this time led by a dementia patient. The New York Times reports that Joe Biden is weighing deploying THOUSANDS of US troops to Ukraine. Biden is also considering sending US warships and aircraft to NATO allies. https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/1485399728032518148 The US State Department on Sunday evening also issued […]

Pepe Escobar A specter haunts the collective West: total zombification, courtesy of an across-the-board 24/7 psy ops imprinting the inevitability of “Russian aggression”. Let’s pierce the fog of hysteria by asking Ukrainian Defense Minister Reznikov what’s going on: “I can absolutely say that to date, the Russian armed forces have not created a strike group […]

Lack of certification demonstrates that Berlin can’t perform ordinary commercial activities, says Moscow The ongoing saga with the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline and its long wait for approval and certification shows that Germany has no freedom to pursue its own economic interests, Russia’s foreign minister has claimed. Speaking to the Russian First Channel on […]

Max Weber, well known for his works on the sociology of economics, politics, and religion in the 19th century, highlighted the West’s transition to modernity. Weber found ‘disenchantment’ to be occurring across the globe in various stages as the rationalization of daily life led to greater organizational efficiency, thereby replacing social ties and natural forms […]

Chinese Foreign Ministry Wang Yi demanded his American counterpart Antony Blinken respect “Russia’s reasonable concerns” in Ukraine during a phone conversation Wednesday, formally inserting China into tensions between Moscow and Washington over the former Soviet state.

While the mainstream media mostly ignored the event for fear of being accused of racism for simply having the temerity to cover it, crowds of President Trump’s loyal supporters gathered Saturday night in Conroe, Texas for the first Trump rally of the 2022 mid-term election cycle. Because even if he isn’t on the ballot, Trump […]

Andrew Torba, the CEO of alternative free speech platform Gab, sent an early morning message on Wednesday, detailing the increasing strength of his platform and decrying forced vaccination requirements that have left record numbers of Americans out-of-work. A record number of Americans “quit their jobs” this November, or that is to say they were either […]

Quite curiously, both the Mainstream Media and the Alt-Media Community – the latter of which is largely regarded as Russian-friendly – seem to tacitly agree that President Putin will either ultimately recognize those republics despite regarding that as a detrimental decision or will hopefully do so for reasons that they agree with, respectively. The author […]

Government’s CPI says the cost of shelter rose 4% in the past year but home prices and rents are up nearly 20% Shelter accounts for about a third of American household expenditure, and the cost of buying or renting shelter is up nearly 20% over the past year. Yet the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for […]

Here’s “politics” in America now: come with mega-millions or don’t even bother to show up. Representational democracy–a.k.a. politics as a solution to social and economic problems–has passed away. It did not die a natural death. Politics developed a cancer very early in life (circa the early 1800s), caused by wealth outweighing public opinion. This cancer spread slowly […]

If it were possible to choose ethnic affiliation before being born, I think it would be wise to avoid being born into a small nation located right up against a big, proud empire: Tibet or Turkestan, Armenia in Ottoman days or Serbia when Austria was great. Nationalities like that are liable to have histories much unhappier than the average. That’s the context in which I think of Ukraine, For many […]

[Excerpted from the latest Radio Derb, now available exclusively through VDARE.com] I’m starting to be irritated by the word “Wokeness,” I’m not sure why. When “Woke” and “Wokeness” first came up, I thought they were sort of cute. Since the 1980s, if not earlier, we had been using the cumbersome phrase “Politically Correct” to describe the idiocies of linguistic […]

In 2020 the dominant faction of the faceless ruling class was leery about a second Trump term. This was principally due to his handling of trade relations with China and Europe, and the threat he posed to its own precarious position, if not to world peace. Trump was certainly a representative of the ruling class—along […]

A European Union official on Monday said the 27-nation bloc will not follow the United States’ decision to evacuate personnel and family members from the Ukrainian embassy in the midst of heightened tensions between Russia and the West. “We are not going to do the same thing,” EU Foreign Policy Chief Josep Borrell declared at a meeting. Borrell said […]

While Russia is still talking with the US, these are the attack routes Putin must be considering The United States and the West have so far failed to force Russia to withdraw its army from the Ukrainian border. For Russia, the best military option will be to enter Ukraine until reaching the Dnieper River in […]

The former president unloaded on Joe Biden at a packed rally in Arizona Former President Donald Trump held his first campaign-style rally of 2022 in Arizona, lashing out at President Joe Biden’s “destructive” economic policies, his vaccine mandates, and the alleged persecution of Trump’s supporters.

This latest maximum pressure campaign against Mali prompted thousands of its citizens to throng the streets over the weekend in an unprecedented display of anti-imperialist activism aimed at showing the world that they won’t stand idly by as the West collectively punishes them. The Economic Community Of West African States (ECOWAS) recently imposed a land, air, and […]

This is a serious issue, perhaps the most serious of issues in Europe, but coming as it does immediately on the heels of Russia’s prior list of demands being resolutely rejected by the U.S. and NATO yesterday, the prospects of Washington and Brussels positively responding to this one either don’t appear good. See: Stoltenberg address and […]

Before #bareshelvesBiden became a common trend on Twitter and December’s inflation rose to the highest since 1982, several so-called top economists assured Americans that President Joe Biden’s exorbitant spending wouldn’t cause any sort of worrisome inflation. When economists like former Clinton Treasury Secretary Larry Summers predicted that Biden’s massive spending package could “set off inflationary pressures of a […]

Judged by BlackRock CEO Larry Fink’s latest letter, January 2022 might turn out to be the highwater mark of woke capitalism. Stakeholder capitalism is not “woke,” Fink says, because capitalism is driven by mutually beneficial relationships between businesses and their stakeholders. He’s right. What Fink describes is capitalism pure and simple, the stakeholder modifier adding […]

That should be nothing surprising. Brownstone has chronicled 150 studies making that point. What made this new chart different was that it came from the CDC, which has buried the point so deeply for so long as to amount to a near denial. So there: the CDC says it. So nonchalant! So uneventful!  If people had […]

Washington’s role in the world is diminishing. What comes next? Has American dominance across global foreign policy, finance, and military affairs been a source of stability or conflict? Some believe Washington’s status as the last great power has been a force for good. Others disagree. Maintaining its hegemony has demanded that Washington divide the world […]

Five-time Emmy award-winning journalist Sharyl Attkisson said she has seen an increased effort to manipulate the public to appreciate censorship and disapprove of journalism. One of the strategies that has been employed is the use of third-party fact-checkers, she said. “Nearly every mode of information has been co-opted, if it can be co-opted by some […]

Rumble, a video platform that bills itself as “neutral” and “immune to cancel culture,” has offered Joe Rogan $100 million to leave Spotify and use its services instead.

The Black Alliance for Peace (BAP) concludes that the full responsibility for the dangerous crisis unfolding in Ukraine has its genesis in the illegal policies of the U.S./EU/NATO “Axis of Domination” beginning in 2014. As the corporate press presents a one-sided presentation of event in Ukraine as part of a massive propaganda effort to mobilize […]

Realistically, however, we must assume that even if, according to long-term forecasts, we have already reached the peak of the trend, and the prices of factors influencing the increase in electricity prices will now decline until they stabilise in 2023 at a level similar to 2018 – it still does not change the fundamental paradigm […]

  When Joe Biden selected Antony Blinken to be his Secretary of State, Stephen Zunes, professor of politics at the University of San Francisco, worried that the selection represented, not a correction, but a continuation of past interventionism and incompetence. As evidence, Zunes cites Blinken’s integral and irresponsible role in clearing the way for the disastrous […]

The COVID tyranny is on the retreat! The UK Office for National Statistics admits just 6,000 people died of Covid-19 in England and Wales between Feb 2020 and Dec 2021. This is less than the rate of those killed in car accidents. And for that the Government closed down the entire economy with catastrophic bankruptcies, […]

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, in a hastily scheduled, 90-minute summit in Geneva yesterday, after which both sides lauded the meeting as worthwhile because it kept the door open for a diplomatic resolution to the ongoing crisis in Ukraine.

How did Germany manage to exist for more than 70 years without a queer commissioner?

Monday, during Hugh Hewitt’s nationally syndicated radio broadcast, Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) reacted to the ongoing heightened situation between Russia and Ukraine, which some are suggesting will end with Russia invading Ukraine.

Asad Ali Whenever elections are around be it state or central, false-flag operation and Pakistan bashing are the only feasible option for hawkish Indian political parties and leaders such as Modi’s BJP to win with clear margin. Indian nationalist Hindu pundits always suggests strengthening of anti-Pakistan narrative (over flimsy grounds) to garner support of extremist […]

These grand strategic calculations are above the understanding of the casual Western media consumer, mostly because they’ve been dumbed down by overdramatic and highly emotive fearmongering narratives about Russian motivations for years already. The US-led West and their Mainstream Media allies are spinning the false narrative that Russia wants to “invade” Ukraine without explaining why Moscow would […]

Waqar K. Kauravi Adeela Naureen Umar Waqar Our syndicate had done a paper in 2014 with the title ‘Tectonic shift along the Dnieper River’, which had projected some scenarios arising out of the situation in Ukraine at the time; some of the projections of the article have proven to be quite close to the current […]

A relative of mine, who works for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) compiling data on foreigners entering the United States, recently posted a curious logo on his Facebook profile: a white Roman numeral three on a black background surrounded by 13 white stars.

S.K. Baskerville’s ‘A Gentleman’s Guide To Manners, Sex, and Ruling the World,’ nobly addresses the pitfalls of being manly in a world driven by misandry. The 21st century has not been kind to men in the developed world. By most metrics, they have fallen behind women in school, the workplace, and at home. More and […]

The scalawags will blow up this unfortunate country rather than stop plundering it. For almost eight years now, Ukraine has remained the greatest threat to security and peace in Europe. The internal instability of this country, which is being torn apart between the oligarchs, and the western capital, is a ticking time bomb.  Without disarming […]

After nearly seven years of conflict, the bloody war in Yemen, waged by Saudi Arabia at the instigation of the United States, now is threatening security and stability in important areas of the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf.

A recent Washington Post/University of Maryland poll found that 34 percent of Americans think violent action against the government can be justifiable. This view is held by 40 percent of Republicans and 23 percent of Democrats. The result may seem surprising since leftists have been responsible for much of the recent politically-motivated violence, and many […]

Trudeau has referred to swastikas intimating that the Freedom Convoy organizers are supportive of Neo-Nazi symbols. The media has gone into high gear: “Canada needs an explicit ban on swastikas and other “loathsome” hate symbols, says one NDP MP. NDP House Leader Peter Julian says he is looking at reintroducing a private member’s bill that aims […]

Americans who cherish our country’s legacy are horrified by our headlong rush to war. America at its best was the very motor of world progress, higher living standards and peace.

Last Friday, a reporter asked White House press secretary Jen Psaki to respond to the Johns Hopkins covid study showing lockdowns provided no real benefit in terms of disease prevention. In response, Psaki dodged addressing the study directly, but then pivoted to claiming that the Biden administration had never pushed lockdowns. “We are not pushing lockdowns,” she insisted.  […]

The comedian, an outspoken skeptic of vaccination, shared his thoughts on Russia’s flagship jab Popular American podcaster Joe Rogan, who has stirred controversy with his criticism of Covid-19 vaccines and advocacy of alternative treatments, was asked for his opinion on Russia’s Sputnik V jab in an interview this week. In an appearance on comedian Tim […]

Europe is in the midst of an energy crisis that is about to get much, much worse if war breaks out between Russia and Ukraine. Russia is the continent’s single-biggest provider of liquefied natural gas, while Ukraine is a critical part of the shipping route to transport all that fuel from Russia to the European […]

The word “encirclement” does not appear in the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), signed into law by President Joe Biden on December 27th, or in other recent administration statements about its foreign and military policies. Nor does that classic Cold War era term “containment” ever come up. Still, America’s top leaders have reached a consensus on […]

The German government is seriously “concerned” over the sheer number of protests against COVID restrictions in recent weeks, which are the most widespread in the country’s history. Influential German broadsheet Die Welt reveals that on the same day, protests took place in over 1,000 locations across the country. “The government is concerned about the decentralized actions,” reports the […]

The results are in from the world’s largest study of ivermectin for COVID-19.

Back in November The Military Times published a Ukrainian intelligence claim, which was picked up and repeated by numerous other mainstream publications, alleging that Russia was going to invade Ukraine by the end of January. Then in late January when the calendar debunked the Military Times incendiary headline “Russia preparing to attack Ukraine by late January”, that same outlet ran a much less […]

The Ukrainian-born MSNBC favorite Alexander Vindman, best known for his role in the Trump impeachment, has informed the network’s viewership that we are almost certainly on the cusp of a war with Russia comparable to World War II. “I think we’re basically just on the cusp of war,” the retired lieutenant colonel told MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace on Friday. […]

According to Western so-called ‘experts’, China ‘dominates’ this relationship and Russia is the ‘junior partner’. This false narrative is pushed for purely self-interested reasons related to meddling in their unbreakable partnership. US Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland, better known for her infamous role in encouraging Ukraine’s 2013-2014 EuroMaidan Color Revolution, made […]

A Review of The Plot to Kill King by William Pepper We bring to your attention this important article by Edward Curtin first published on Global Research in January 2017. ** Very few Americans are aware of the truth behind the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Few books have been written about it, unlike […]

The decentralized currency has, in just a bit longer than a decade, risen to the potential of becoming the world’s system of value… On Halloween 2008, a month and a half after the Lehman Brothers’ spectacular collapse, Bitcoin started the monetary revolution we’re now seeing. Bitcoin showed that, with technology, different monetary arrangements are possible: […]

Interestingly, a world without widespread private property would also actually be a world without tradition, or maybe rather with a tradition that is invented and generated over and over again, adjusted to the needs of the current stage of modernity. Is it really so awesome to have nothing?  There is probably no longer a concept […]

The Year of the Black Water Tiger will start, for all practical purposes, with a Beijing bang this Friday, as Presidents Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin, after a live meeting before the initial ceremony of the Winter Olympics, will issue a joint statement on international relations.

Many U.S. voters think the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is Democrat President Joe Biden’s “personal Gestapo,” according to a Rasmussen poll released Tuesday. “Roger Stone, an adviser to former President Donald Trump, has said there is ‘a group of politicized thugs at the top of the FBI who are using the FBI … as Joe Biden‘s […]

Instead of offering to mediate between the Russian and Ukrainian leaders, ‘Israel’ and Turkey would do well to gently nudge Kiev in the direction of fulfilling its international obligations. Turkish President Erdogan earlier this week repeated his prior offer to mediate between Russia and Ukraine, which prompted Moscow to once again politely decline his proposal but encourage Ankara to […]

  The recent developments in Kazakhstan and the role of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) in assisting that country’s authorities in establishing order and security have particularly brought into sharp focus the importance of this regional interstate organization.

A fresh report and analysis at the non-interventionist think tank, Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, traces the roots of today’s US-Russia deteriorated relations and showdown over Ukraine back to the Bill Clinton administration in the 1990’s. So much of current “debate” in public and media discourse is woefully lacking in even basic recent historical knowledge and context of […]

“Political correctness is fascism pretending to be manners.” George Carlin Cancel culture—political correctness amped up on steroids, the self-righteousness of a narcissistic age, and a mass-marketed pseudo-morality that is little more than fascism disguised as tolerance—has shifted us into an Age of Intolerance, policed by techno-censors, social media bullies, and government watchdogs. Everything is now […]

  Cervantes famous classic novel Don Quixote can in simple terms be described as a fight for liberty and freedom against oppression and against the state.

  Defense One published an advocacy piece masquerading as an analysis on January 11 by Evelyn Farkas, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Russia, Ukraine and Eurasia and senior advisor to the Supreme Allied Commander Europe, NATO’s top military commander. She flouted the first credential in her article, brinkmanship and modesty rarely coexisting. The title […]

The two recent telephonic conversations between Presidents Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin over the simmering situation in Ukraine were, by all accounts, sedate. Contrary to the projected polemics, the occasion turned out to be an insipid proclamation by each leader, ending with an agreement on face-to-face talks. To those desirous of peace in the world […]

Dr. Stefanos Kales, a professor of medicine at Harvard University, has joined the chorus of voices who are saying the government’s response to the pandemic was a mistake and public health officials should shift to a policy of protecting the vulnerable. “I think what we saw is the danger of turning over public policy and public health […]

Enough is enough. It is time to stop wearing masks, or at the very least to eliminate mask mandates in all settings. This is especially urgent for children in schools and universities, who suffer the effects of masks for long hours each day despite being at exceedingly low risk for death or serious illness from covid. We have […]

As the west continues to slide inexorably towards a dystopian economic and societal abyss, its people still fail to recognise the true enemy, Eamon McKinney writes.

French presidential candidate Eric Zemmour, who wants a complete halt on immigration, said he was “not the Santa Claus of humankind” when pressed on how many refugees France should take in, adding that he was “here to save the French people and France…not here to save the world.” The firebrand intellectual made the comments during […]

What is the reason for the increasing American and NATO military threats against  Russia?  NATO military exercises are conducted in countries bordering Russia, offensive arms are shipped to Ukraine which bombards  the neighboring Donets Basin breakaway republics that adjoin Russia, and  naval and air operations continue at the borders of Russia. The Atlanticists (America/NATO) are  […]

In Kurt Vonnegut’s classic novel Cat’s Cradle, the deadpan realist from the Midwest–the 20th century’s Mark Twain–delivers an instructive review of the way in which Americans hold scientists in exceedingly high esteem—and the perils therein.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) cleared a large portion of the U.S. commercial plane fleet for ultra-low visibility landing at half of the U.S. airports affected by the upcoming rollout of 5G.

The Turkmenistan–Afghanistan–Pakistan–India (TAPI) natural gas pipeline has been long aborning, but its prospects recently got a shot in the arm. The 1100-mile, $10 billion project has seen numerous delays since the pipeline consortium was announced in late 2014, though the project was first mooted in 1991. Construction started in early 2018 with a projected in-service date of […]

University of London professor Angus Dalgleish, who co-authored a paper in summer 2020 after spotting “unique fingerprints” in Covid-19 samples that point to genetic manipulation, says that he’s been the victim of a “disgusting whitewash,” and that anyone suggesting a non-natural origin for Covid-19 has been silenced by peers. “This goes back to the days […]

Our host on numerous occasions makes a strong case in labeling today’s zeitgeist as “The Age of Rage”. It would certainly seem to be so if one focuses on what stereotypically comes out of the news media and political figures we lend our ears to. Yet I would go a step further and suggest the […]

There has been a marked shift in the balance of power in the world as the US has recently intensified its attempts to regain world domination, including through sanctions against countries trying to demonstrate their independence from Washington.

I’m now looking again at the polls of Biden’s popularity. They are shocking, even devastating. We are looking at nearly a 12-point split between approval and disapproval. I’m assuming that the reality is much worse, given that everyone knows what one is supposed to tell the pollsters. They are not looking for disapproval. They are […]

While the immediate implications of Guantanamo with regard to the U.S. violations at the base are of paramount importance, the focus on this relic of the U.S. war on terror must not be dissociated from Guantanamo’s earlier history.

Brussels will not impose pre-emptive measures in attempt to stop invasion of Ukraine The EU’s most senior diplomat Josep Borrell has ruled out the introduction of “preventive sanctions” against Russia over the situation in Ukraine, clarifying that any measures would only be implemented in case of an actual attack.

How warmongers are trying to influence the outcome of talks between Russia and NATO.

[…]

The Collective Security Treaty Organization has agreed to send a joint peacekeeping force to help contain violent unrest gripping Kazakhstan that has killed at least 12 policemen.

For any person with a minimum of political awareness, it has become clear that our expression and thoughts, even our very existence today is caught in an inextricable net of prohibitions that ends up being an attack on life itself, and, in fine, on the inner life.

The politics and dynamics of today are a menacing echo of former times when Western powers engaged fascism to do their dirty geopolitical work, Finian Cunningham writes. Western powers are playing with fire by ignoring Russia’s urgent appeals for security guarantees in Europe. In a series of high-level meetings last week with Russian officials, the […]

Amid surging tensions over Ukraine, the head of Germany’s navy had the courage to voice Europe’s fears over this totally unnecessary, contrived crisis. In a speech to an Indian think tank, Vice-admiral Kay-Achim Schonbach proposed the Western powers ‘respect’ Russian leader Vladimir Putin and accept that Crimea would remain in Moscow’s hands. The German admiral’s […]

A new report estimates that $21 trillion of that wealth will pass internally within America’s already dynastically wealthy families between now and 2045. There is an understandable focus on new wealth technology billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, especially as their wealth surges during the pandemic. But it is equally important to understand how multi-generational […]

In 1956 Allen Dulles, the then Director of the CIA was addressing a meeting in Asia of the newly formed Non-Aligned Nations.

Buckminster Fuller called the CIA Capitalism’s Invisible Army. Since its creation, it has been doing coups d’état and assassinations as part of its work.

Have yall learned absolutely nothing? The U.S. government’s internal memos said that the only way to get Iraq to use its weapons if it even had any would be to attack it. The U.S. government’s public statements were that Iraq certainly had weapons and therefore must be attacked. The U.S. government itself had every single […]

Creators were they who created peoples, and hung a faith and a love over them: thus they served life. Destroyers, are they who lay snares for many, they hang a sword and a hundred cravings over them. Where there is still a people, there the state is not understood, but hated as the evil eye, […]

Recent developments in Kazakhstan have attracted widespread attention. For a while they have been the main discussion point of the entire global community.

Some Alt-Media Community gatekeepers […]

Western reporters are indulging extremist Ukrainian groups like the Azov Battalion.

To Moscow, Ukraine is not the problem, Washington is. Or, as Putin might put it: Tabaqui does what Shere Khan tells him to and there is no point in dealing with him, go straight to Shere Khan. That is what Moscow is trying to do with its treaty proposals. For the same reason, Moscow is […]

Geopolitical commentator Clint Ehrlich has reported while on the ground in Moscow that “the situation in Kazakhstan is a much bigger deal than Western media is letting on.” He further argues that the mayhem unleashed this past week and ongoing violent destabilization significantly increases the risk of NATO-Russia conflict.  He asks the key question: what really is happening in Kazakhstan?
