When the Berlin Wall came down, many triumphantly declared that the West had won the Cold War and that its values would soon become universally accepted, pushing out the old systems that had dominated Eastern Europe […]
The Nicaraguan elections are on Nov. 7, 2021. The U.S. government, the media that does its bidding, and even some self-described “leftists,” present a Nicaragua in “turmoil” and “crisis”—and the elections as a farce. These attacks against the Sandinista government also emanate from academics, intellectuals, and journalists with ties to the members of the now-defunct Sandinista […]
The solution is trilateralization between China, Russia, and the US, not triangulation. To explain, this proposal implies that all three Great Powers would be treated as equals by one another and engage in dialogue through a single platform. The summit in mid-June between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Joe Biden led to many […]
While many economies around the globe already face off with hyperinflation, the US seems confident it can evade the trend by owning the world’s reserve currency. However, confidence in the US greenback may not be as strong as Washington would want. Max and Stacy discuss what the US Central Bank and the Treasury Department have […]
Brussels is shirking its legal obligations in order to avoid internal tensions with populist opposition to capitalist corporate-controlled Europe. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has made a stark accusation against Belarus and Russia, claiming they are weaponizing the migration problem on the border with Poland. This is a cowardly move to divert blame. […]
Germany’s so-called traffic light coalition has unveiled its plan to form a government eight weeks after the federal election, with former finance minister Olaf Scholz set to be chancellor.

Бy Dave DeCamp via AntiWar.com. According to a report from Bloomberg, the US is frustrated it doesn’t have spies within the inner circle of Chinese President Xi Jinping, making it harder for the US to know what China plans to do next. The report cited anonymous US officials and John Bolton, the ultra-hawk who served as President […]
Alexander Dugin Recently, the escalation of US-Russian relations has been clearly visible. This is the second episode since the spring of 2021 when many expected a go-ahead to Kyiv from the neocons-backed globalist Biden for an offensive in Donbas. But then everything was limited to Zelensky’s ridiculous arrival from the NATO zone and convincing maneuvers […]
When I heard that Facebook had changed its name to Meta, I was reminded of the aphorism: “A leopard doesn’t change its spots.” But in this case, there’s more to the name change than meets the eye: a strategic “vision” of the future and an overly powerful, profit-hungry corporation’s misguided attempt to shape human destiny. Facebook’s […]
Days ago we presented the latest Orwellian headline out of Australia… “Aussie Police Arrest Teen ‘Fugitives’ Who Escaped From COVID Internment Camp”. Since then more incredibly disturbing video from inside the Northern Australian Covid internment camp, Howard Springs facility, has emerged. A frightening confrontation between a imprisoned “quarantined” woman and camp authorities was caught on hidden camera. One host […]
I recently came across two tweets that caught my eye. Here is the first one from the CDC director: Masks can help reduce your chance of #COVID19 infection by more than 80%. Masks also help protect from other illnesses like common cold and flu.

In fact, and as has been repeatedly noted in the NEO, the situation is worsening in South-East Asia, a key region for the global political process today, all ten countries of which form ASEAN. This deterioration comes from the degrading relations between the two global powers, the USA and China. The field of tensions created by […]
If we tolerate this, then our children will be next. Can you handle the truth? Greg Maybury Like many people out there battling in their own way the tyranny and the treachery to which we’ve been subjected by our political, media, and bureaucratic ‘Brahmin castes’ (self-appointed as they are), I’m all fired n’ brim-stoned up. […]
According to updated preliminary results from Sunday’s presidential election, incumbent candidate President Daniel Ortega has handily won, taking 76% of the vote. The level of support shown for Ortega in the Sunday vote seems to be only slightly higher than in the 2016 elections, when he triumphed with 72.44% of the vote, and is roughly […]
The U.S. will be seen as endorsing the crime, resulting in yet another foreign policy disaster in the Middle East, Philip Giraldi writes. Some might recall candidate Joe Biden’s pledge to work to rejoin the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) which was a multilateral agreement intended to limit Iran’s ability to develop a nuclear […]

China state media on Tuesday announced that the People’s Liberation Army’s (PLA) Eastern Theater Command has initiated combat patrols near the Taiwan Strait in response to what it dubbed “secessionist activities”.

Few people know this but back in 2017, rural India implemented a digital biometrics food rationing system called Aadhaar that was thrust upon the country by none other than billionaire eugenicist Bill Gates. And many Indians have since died because of this genocidal tool. Aadhaar was built by Gates using a social credit scoring model that allots […]
By explicitly making the West’s conception of “democracy” the ideological fault line in the New Cold War, the US distracts from the economic and strategic motivations behind its global rivalry with China The US’ upcoming “Summit for Democracy” serves to ideologize the New Cold War in an attempt to rally America’s allies while at the […]
Clashes have erupted between police and participants of the annual Million Mask March in London, as anti-establishment demonstrators set off fireworks at officers and burned an effigy of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Protesters marched through Parliament Square, Trafalgar Square, and Oxford Street on Friday, marking the annual Million Mask March, which draws big demonstrations […]
The ongoing climate change conference in Glasgow seems to bear no fruit, as world leaders continue struggling to reach consensus on the energy transition away from carbon. Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert dissect the green energy lobby as yet another example of colonialism, while true eco-geopolitical innovation is taking place far from money-printing agendas – […]
I think that they actually believed that they could get away with it. I think that they were actually convinced that they could create, borrow and spend trillions upon trillions of dollars without any serious long-term consequences. But they should have known better. The people running things are very highly “educated”, and after spending decades […]
Iran has increased its stockpile of 60% enriched uranium to 25kg, state media has revealed. The announcement comes shortly after a date was set for the resumption of nuclear talks between Tehran and other world powers. Behrouz Kamalvandi, spokesman for the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran, was quoted by state media on Friday as saying […]
Normally, inflation is not a major theme on Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, these are not normal times. Thanks to Joe Biden and our other crooked politicians in Washington, we are facing an inflation crisis that is unlike anything that we have experienced since the 1970s. Earlier this week, I discussed a new poll which showed that 88 […]
Recently, Saudi Arabia and its satellites Bahrain and Kuwait have decided to expel Lebanese ambassadors amid the rising tensions between Beirut and some countries of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf (GCC). In addition, Riyadh severed economic ties with Lebanon, which looks like a deliberately malicious move aimed at pushing Lebanon into a deeper […]

Alexander Dugin In our society, there is a significant oppressed, deprived of all rights, continuously humiliated group of the population. And these are not illegal immigrants, not representatives of sexual minorities, not gypsies, and not feminists. Probably, and they have a hard time. But the group I’m talking about is almost impossible to live and […]

The youth are a prime target in this no quarter war for the control of purposefully zombified human minds, preferably emptied of knowledge and certainly deprived of the faculty of critical analysis. Talk about “malign influence” in the Balkans! A distinguished Serbian academic, historian Dr. Miloš Ković, is fighting for his professional life with few […]
By Mac Slavo via SHTFplan.com. According to the CEO of one of the world’s largest doomsday bunker builders for the elitists, those who are in power currently fear a “rebellion” of those who they are ruling over.

Russian President Vladimir Putin touted his nation’s record and plans in fighting global climate change through reduction of emissions and carbon capture, but pointed at the lack of unified fair standards for making an impact. “We believe that G20 members should lead the world in creating universal, fair and, importantly, transparent rules for climate regulation, […]
By Phillip Wegmann via RealClearPolitics.com. The former president made a gaffe, realized his mistake, and then made a joke sure to make the Republican establishment nervous. It was Friday night, and Donald Trump was telling a crowd at Mar-a-Largo about his last campaign, about how “we were going to go in with a fourth term.” Of […]
The situation between Russia and US and Western military aircraft over the Black Sea continues to be a tense one.

Alexander Dugin Among the most recent important events in the field of geopolitics that followed the shameful flight of the Americans from Afghanistan, one should especially highlight the revitalization of the Anglo-Saxon alliance in the Pacific Ocean.

Here is his speech: “Good evening […]
Here is an email I got from a reader. I’ll give it to you straight: Living in Southeast Asia, I sometimes worry about China’s encroachment on my life and the way of life of many others in the region. Then, I read another of your columns. I do not want American values to win out in the […]
Peter Schiff was a guest on the Quoth the Raven podcast on Friday last week, where he covered topics ranging from crypto, to the VA governor race results, to China and, of course, the Fed’s decision to taper this past week.

Russia has begun supplying India with state-of-the-art S-400 mobile air defense missile systems under the terms of a contract signed in 2018.

“Writers such as Morningstar are always going to be targeted and they will always face hostility from the status quo. That is the nature of what they do. They pull away the curtain that hides the horrors and malevolence of those individuals, corporations, and political institutions that oppress the majority of the planet. And many […]
“The term metaverse, like the term meritocracy, was coined in a sci fi dystopia novel written as cautionary tale. Then techies took metaverse, and technocrats took meritocracy, and enthusiastically adopted what was meant to inspire horror.”—Antonio García Martínez Welcome to the Matrix (i.e. the metaverse), where reality is virtual, freedom is only as free as one’s technological overlords allow, […]
By Michael Busler – The October Consumer Price Index number was a stunning .9%. That means prices have increased 6.2% in the last twelve months. The behavior of the Federal Reserve (Fed), Congress and the Biden Administration is shockingly irresponsible. Action must be taken immediately. Failure to do so could lead to runaway inflation. Four decades ago, the […]
By Paul Joseph Watson via Summit News. Details of AT&T Corporation’s ‘racial re-education program’ have leaked in which the company asserts “American racism is a uniquely white trait” and announces, “white people, you’re the problem.” The documents were obtained by investigator and Critical Race Theory exposer-in-chief Christopher Rufo. “CEO John Stankey launched the program last […]
By Jeffrey Tucker via DailyReckoning.com. It was a very strange moment when this week the spokesperson for the president defended inflation as a high-class problem. She explained that higher prices are merely a sign that economic activity is picking up. People are buying things and that’s good. Of course that pushes up prices, she said. Just […]
By Daniela Cambone via Stansberry Research. The Federal Reserve has become so powerful over the years that its intended roles have entirely reversed and gone haywire, according to G.

When asked about actionable steps following the commission review, […]
Where America goes in the Middle East, extremist groups tend to follow. With the United States out of Afghanistan, former members of the Afghan Security Forces who were once trained by the United States are joining Islamic State-Khorasan Province, better known as ISIS-K, the Islamic State’s regional affiliate. The result is all too predictable given […]
The Biden-Putin summit back in July produced some real but fragile promise. The Presidential Joint Statement on Strategic Stability, signed by US President Joseph Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin at the close of the summit, confirmed the Reagan-Gorbachev declaration that a nuclear war could not be won and should never be fought, and called […]
Halloween is considered the spooky season, and while skeletons and haunted houses can be scary, Statista’s Katharina Buchholz points out that it’s different things that keep Americans up at night. A survey by Chapman University in Orange county, California, shows that while some of the fears most commonly cited by Americans changed in the coronavirus pandemic, other […]
More and more economists and finance specialists are warning of the potential arrival of a new “Minsky moment.” The last time this term was used with such conviction was in 2008 at the onset of the Great Recession. It seems that 2021–22 could have some parallels with the world’s last severe recession. The Twentieth-First Century: The Century of Debt Up […]
Leonid Savin Processes that can be called geopolitical turbulence, political transformation and creative destruction continue in the Balkans. For Russia, all of this has significance. The entry of Montenegro into NATO, and then Macedonia (where one of the North Atlantic Alliance commands is already stationed), as well as the harsh pressure on the leadership of […]
The message to the Democratic Party Virginia sent was this: “You can indulge the crazies in your party, but if the American people come to believe you share their ideas and intend to implement them, we are going to relieve you of control of Congress in 2022 and of the White House in 2024. Rely […]
Emergencies justify emergency powers, and emergency powers mean that you can push ahead with your agenda on all fronts. Last week in this space, I included a few words about Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s remarkable new book, The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health. I also included a link to Kennedy’s […]
In what at first glance looked like the European Union getting onboard with the US-led confrontation with China, a recent delegation led by Raphael Glucksmann sent to Taiwan supposedly representing the EU tells a story less of supposed mainland “interference” within the island territory, and instead, a story about US interference within the EU. Glucksmann […]
The first official European assessment of the recent round of talks in Vienna between the representatives of Iran and those of the E3 (Great Britain, France, and Germany), Russia, China, and the US came, oddly enough, from Dubai, where the quick-witted French president Emmanuel Macron announced what he called the failure of the foregoing phase […]

A newly announced deal that could see Washington supply Ukraine with deadly weapons could further inflame the country’s bloody civil conflict and make a lasting peace agreement harder, Russia’s ambassador to the US has cautioned. In a statement issued on Thursday, Anatoly Antonov said that the ‘Strategic Partnership Document’ signed by American and Ukrainian diplomats […]
Germany has voiced its opposition to the inclusion of nuclear energy within the European Union’s sustainable-finance taxonomy, claiming it would undermine the bloc’s credibility on going green. Speaking at the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow on Thursday, Environment Minister Svenja Schulze said the EU must avoid labeling nuclear energy as ‘green’. “Including nuclear power would […]
President Joe Biden’s Department of Commerce has sided with Chinese solar manufacturers who produce in Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam, denying a request to investigate the manufacturers for evading United States tariffs on Chinese products. This week, the Biden administration crushed a campaign by American solar manufacturers to ensure tariffs were imposed on products made by Chinese […]
‘Green’ technologies that eco-conscious Western politicians promote carry hidden environmental costs that are being outsourced to developing nations and then used to clamp down on their economies, a top Russian official said. Rich European countries that advocate a fast transition away from fossil fuels and toward renewables to combat climate change are at the same […]
Western media are blaring headlines about a rigged election, not in the United States or any of the other powerful nations allied with it whose elections are consistently fraudulent from top to bottom, but in the small Central American nation of Nicaragua. A Google search brings up only news stories disparaging the Nicaragua election and […]
Nearly 60 years ago, leading military and intelligence officials of the USA saw only one viable pathway to resolve the Cuban Missile Crisis: war with Russia and the use of “the bomb”. Mocked by Stanley Kubrick’s brilliant Doctor Strangelove and exposed by John Frankenheimer’s Seven Days in May (both released in 1964), the psychology of […]

The Biden administration has failed to enforce the U.S.-China phase one trade agreement. There are serious concerns about the enforcement mechanism of the deal as China’s purchases fall behind targets. In the trade deal signed in January 2020, Beijing promised to purchase about $200 billion of US goods and services over 2020, 2021 compared with […]

By John W. Whitehead “Man is born free but everywhere is in chains.”—Jean-Jacques Rousseau We are moving fast down the road to fascism. This COVID-19 pandemic has shifted us into high gear.

The European Union (EU) General Court upheld a ruling Wednesday that Google violated EU antitrust law by giving preference to its own shopping service in search results. The European Commission, the EU’s top regulator, ruled in 2017 that Google’s practice of prioritizing its online marketplace in its search results was anti-competitive, slapping the tech giant with a […]
By Steve Kirsch. They missed hundreds of serious adverse events that are more elevated than myocarditis. A new VAERS analysis done by Albert Benavides blows the doors off the “safe and effective” narrative. The CDC and FDA have said the vaccines are “safe and effective.” They haven’t found any serious issues with the COVID vaccines. Zero. […]
From Birch Gold Group. According to HSBC, one of the largest banks in the world with offices in Britain, the U.S. and Asia, bank fraud is among the UK’s top exports.

Alexander Dugin All who have studied, let the most superficial way, International Relations know that the world order in which we still live humanity is called Westphalian. This expression has become commonplace, but it is still worth recalling – what exactly is the Treaty of Versailles, concluded on October 24, 1648. On this day, in […]
The world balance has changed qualitatively, and not just quantitatively Speaking at the Aspen Security Forum two weeks ago, General Milley conceded that ‘America’s century’ is over – a long overdue acknowledgement, most might venture. Yet, belated or not, his saying it nonetheless seemed to signal an important strategic shift: “We’re entering into a tri-polar – world […]
When it comes to sycophants, Wall Street has no shortage of them willing to shill for its egregious private justice system called mandatory arbitration – a system which systematically guts the guarantee of a jury trial under the Seventh Amendment of the Bill of Rights. Think about that carefully, the industry that is serially charged with rigging […]
On January 12, 2016, it was reported by international media that two US Navy riverine command boats were seized by a unit of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in Iranian territorial waters and how the Iranians brought valiant American Marines to their knees, taking away their weapons. Tehran circulated a video of this detention […]
Former US President Donald Trump tore into his ousted Israeli counterpart, Benjamin Netanyahu in a series of interviews, using an expletive and accusing the former prime minister of betraying him.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued statements in reaction to US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin’s official visit to Ukraine, Romania and Georgia this week where Austin told Ukrainian leaders there’s an “open door to NATO” membership if the necessary defense spending and anti-corruption reforms are made. “The military development of the territory [of Ukraine] […]
Instead of “curbing Russian aggression” – which it clearly can’t and won’t do – how about preventing (instead of encouraging) American aggression? Joe Biden issuing an uninspired “deterrent” to Russia claiming that NATO will prevent a Russian invasion of Ukraine is tragically laughable, much like his claim to “take on the Taliban” while US troops […]
“NATO has ended up in the attic,” wrote the political commentators of several newspapers a month ago, after France had withdrawn its ambassador from Washington on September 16. It was Paris’ protest at being excluded from the strategic-military partnership between the United States, Great Britain and Australia, announced the day before, and at losing a […]
By Simon Black. How many times now have the ‘experts’ been desperately, woefully wrong about elections over the past several years? They were wrong about Brexit. They were wrong about the 2016 US Presidential election. And they were hilariously, historically wrong about the 2020 election. In fact, according to a report from the American Association of […]
The United States Naval Ship Harvey Milk – named after the assassinated gay rights activist and politician – was christened on Saturday by a transgender veteran, to both praise and cries of “vile nonsense.” The USNS Harvey Milk was christened in San Diego, California in a traditional Navy ceremony, with Milk’s nephew, Stuart Milk, in […]

At the same time, this Persian Gulf state is pursuing quite an independent political course and is […]
By Marco Rocco via The Strategic Culture Foundation. Draghi represents the forced continuity wanted by the Paris-Berlin axis for the EU: the Italians wanted to leave in 2020, the solution was the former head of the ECB as Prime Minister. How long will it last, with galloping inflation and Poland as anti-EU? The EU is under […]
We are at war here on Earth. World War III has been going on under our noses. Or, perhaps World War 2 never even ended? I wonder, has anyone else ever considered these ideas? Looking at the narratives of modern detente, one can easily conclude we will never have peace. It’s time the people of […]
By James Rickards via DailyReckoning.com. Is the move toward central bank digital currencies real?

The US government, whose troops are staying in Iraq illegally after the country’s parliament voted in favor of foreign troops leaving the county immediately, offered to “assist” an investigation into what the Iraqi military claimed was an assassination attempt against Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi, branding the incident an “apparent act of terrorism.” Shortly after the […]
One of the most vicious propaganda in the 21st century is China’s crackdown on Muslims.

[…]
By Eric Worrall via WattsUpWithThat.com. Over the years, I’ve noticed pretty much every establishment attempt to push a climate agenda is accompanied by a call for people to unite. What if fear of change, of loss of control, and a desire for social unity and predictability are the real driving force behind the climate push? Does […]

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Someone should tell the Biden team.
