Throughout its history, liberalism—the ideology today called “classical liberalism” or “libertarianism”—has suffered from the impression that it is primarily against things. This is not entirely wrong. Historically, liberalism coalesced as a recognizable and coherent ideology in opposition largely to mercantilism and absolutism throughout Western Europe.

Why’d The CIA Chief Unexpectedly Tell The Truth About Russian-Chinese Ties? – Andrew Korybko
William Burns’ surprisingly accurate assessment of Russian-Chinese ties coincides with Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s upcoming trip to Beijing, which is aimed at advancing the incipient Sino-American New Détente.

The US Empire Is Starting To Fall Apart – Eric Zuesse

Nasr-Allah: Only The Resistance Represents Iraq
In his recent speech, the leader of Hezbollah praised the Iraqi resistance, which disrupted the “American schemes” in the region.

The EU Is Losing Relevance In The Emerging New World – Timur Fomenko
Russia and China are shaping global politics while the US dominates its partners across the Atlantic, leaving European countries as mere passengers.

Today’s Sodomites – Robert Weissberg
The treatment received by judge Stuart Kyle Duncan at Stanford Law School has received enormous attention but this attention is entirely about the state of free expression at an elite law school.

Understanding The International “Rules-Based” Disorder – Larry Johnson
Have you heard of the “International Rules Based Order?” Russia, according to Washington and NATO, is violating those rules (China too) and must be punished.

Sixty Years After Martin Luther King, America’s Race Problem Is Metastasizing – John Derbyshire
Martin Luther King Day, just passed, is depressing because it reminds us of a thing that we—especially we of the Silent and Boomer cohorts—would rather not be reminded of.

We remember hoping that if legal segregation was ended and unjust laws struck down, if black Americans were given the same access […]
The Military-Intelligentsia Complex: How Higher Education Enables US Militarism – T.J. Coles
From developing new weapons and hiring war criminals to denying dissidents the right to teach, universities have a history of serving US imperial interests.

Socrates was accused of failing […]
Count On A Conservative Comeback In US & Canada – Conrad Black

Welcome To America’s French Revolution – Victor Davis Hanson
We are in a Jacobin Revolution of the sort that in 1793-94 nearly destroyed France. And things are getting scary. The Democratic Party vanished sometime in 2020.

Filling The Blank Spots In Our National History – Ron Unz
Back in 1959 Vice President Richard Nixon visited Moscow and held his famous “Kitchen debate” with Soviet leader Nikita Khruschev.

Conflicts: Ireland Provides Blueprint For The Unlikeliest Of Things! – Seth Ferris
For the past two years, the Republic of Ireland has been a member of the UN Security Council.

Why I Don’t Believe There Ever Was A Covid Virus – Dr. Mike Yeadon
I’ve grown increasingly frustrated about the way debate is controlled around the topic of origins of the alleged novel virus, SARS-CoV-2, and I have come to disbelieve it’s ever been in circulation, causing massive scale illness and death. Concerningly, almost no one will entertain this possibility, despite the fact that molecular biology is the easiest […]
Washington’s ‘Democracy Promotion’ Coup Fails Spectacularly In Venezuela – Roger Harris
The Los Angeles Times reports that “the audacious gamble by the U.S. government to…restore democracy” suffered a “spectacular failure” in Venezuela.

This man just got the boot from his own fractious opposition group, […]
Feminism Has Destabilized The American Family – Mona Charen
In 1970, three furious feminist tracts dominated the bestseller lists: Kate Millett’s “Sexual Politics,” Germaine Greer’s “The Female Eunuch,” and Shulamith Firestone’s “The Dialectic of Sex.” They, and others who comprised what was then called the “women’s lib” movement, fulminated against male dominance, endorsed sexual liberation and demanded that the nuclear family be smashed. Their […]
Is Japan Willing To Cut Its Own Throat In Sacrifice To The US Pivot To Asia? – Cynthia Chung
Japan’s economy does not require a prophet or crystal ball to tell you what lies ahead in its very near future: that is, that Japan has become the ticking time bomb for the world economy.

The Pentagon’s Budget From Hell – William D. Hartung
On March 13th, the Pentagon rolled out its proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2024.

While We’re Obsessing About The Economy And The Fed, US Society Is Unraveling – Charles Hugh Smith
The market and the government will continue to promote and support a neofeudal status quo until they are forced by society to restore the common good and opportunity.

The Croatian President Slammed His US-Led NATO Allies For Provoking Russia & China – Andrew Korybko
Central European countries like Croatia, Hungary, and also recently Austria too are beginning to emerge as voices of reason in the West after their de facto New Cold War bloc’s proxy war on Russia through Ukraine over the past year failed to defeat that Great Power.

As We Sell Off Our Strategic Oil Reserves, Ponder This – Bruce Wilds
One of Biden’s answers to combating higher gas prices has been to tap into America’s oil reserves.

The Great Food Reset Has Begun – Thomas Fazi

Singapore’s Position On Ukraine, “Business As Usual With Russia”, Realigns With ASEAN – Ahmed Adel
Although Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong initially backed the West’s position on Ukraine, even going against every other member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) by imposing US-led sanctions on Russia, he is retracting on his initial position now.

Can The Military-Industrial Complex Be Tamed? – William J. Astore
My name is Bill Astore and I’m a card-carrying member of the military-industrial complex (MIC). Sure, I hung up my military uniform for the last time in 2005.

Reconciling Saudi Arabia And Iran: The Significance Of The China Effort – Dr. Chandra Muzaffar
It would be wrong to view the restoration of relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran as something that happened suddenly.

It’s Too Late For NATO To Win The War Against Russia… Here’s Why – Mike Adams

The US Cops Work For ZioCorp, Not For You – Richard Solomon
I laugh when during a citizen-police altercation, the citizen says, “You work for me. My taxes pay your salary.” Ha ha ha. By that logic, since your taxes help fund the MIC, you get a say in which country gets invaded, or doesn’t. Or politicians represent your interests because they draw their “official” salaries from […]

The Simple Reason Why The US Wants “Full Spectrum Dominance” Of The Earth – Roger McKenzie
Imagine the uproar if China or Russia—or any other country for that matter—said it aimed to exercise military control over land, sea, air, and space to protect its interests and investments.

Australia Isn’t A Nation, It’s A US Military Base With Kangaroos – Caitlin Johnstone

The WEF’s “Net Zero Carbon” Lockdown Fraud: British Protest “15-Minute Cities” Where They Will Become Prisoners Of The State – Amy Mek
