By: Andrew Moran Crude oil prices could be on the verge of exploding as the largest storage hub in the world is nearing empty. Natural gas is trading above $5. Gasoline and heating oil are the highest they have been in […]
When the mass withdrawal of coal use in countries following green policies began, many experts predicted that this fuel would soon be forgotten entirely. Its extraction and exports would cease to be profitable for the countries implementing them. Even then, it seemed unlikely because “developed” countries such as all Western countries, which stopped burning coal […]

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) last week asked the CIA for information related to a Yahoo News report that the Agency in 2017 had planned to kidnap or kill Wikileaks cofounder Julian Assange outside the Ecuadorean Embassy in London.

The tragic state of affairs, justified by a disease with a better than 99 percent survival rate, cannot continue indefinitely. Even as scientific studies show that vaccines alone cannot extricate humanity from the Covid-19 crisis, governments are rushing headlong towards the creation of a ‘vaccinated economy’ without any consideration for the consequences. It’s time for […]
The status quo response would be amusing if the consequences weren’t so dire.

History is rhyming again, to borrow a phrase of Mark Twain’s.

The central question in both […]
America might very well be weaponizing the issue at this particular time in order to pressure Russia on other fronts such as Ukraine and Syria.

Taiwan has been in the news a lot lately, and it’s really bringing out the crazy in people.

In reality Chinese planes […]

The accession of Ukraine to NATO is a “worst-case scenario” that would cross a “red line” for Moscow’s interests and, if Kiev were accepted as a member, Russia would be forced to take measures to protect its national security.

In some ways, we sympathize with Neel Kashkari’s fake “concern” about the unprecedented wealth inequality that has emerged in the US in recent years and which has resulted in a slow, methodical and relentless destruction of the US middle class … or rather make that precedented because there was another time when the top 0.1% had amassed as […]

For Iran to turn to the EU, once again, as a main partner in negotiating a future deal with the West, we should not expect too much any time soon.
