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

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. What this State Department stenographer masquerading as a newspaper considers a “democratic” setback consisted of failing to impose unknown US security asset Juan Guaidó as Venezuela’s president. This man just got the boot from his own fractious opposition group, […]
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.

It’s Too Late For NATO To Win The War Against Russia… Here’s Why – Mike Adams
While the prostituted propaganda media absurdly claims that Russia is retreating and NATO forces are winning the war in Ukraine, the truth is far more sobering: NATO has already lost the war with Russia.

Is The Trip Of The Secretary General Of NATO Aimed To Instigate The Creation Of The Asian Version Of NATO? – Kim Hoon

Croatian President Added To Kiev’s Neo-Nazi Regime “Myrotvorets” Kill-List – Lucas Leiroz
Kiev’s neo-Nazi regime adds Zoran Milanovich’s name to Myrotvorets’ kill-list due to his anti-war, pro-peace position.

Governance By Artificial Intelligence: The Ultimate Unaccountable Tyranny – Brandon Smith
It’s no secret that globalist institutions are obsessed with Artificial Intelligence as some kind of technological prophecy.

Anti-Russian Sanctions Cause 40% Energy ‘Price Shock’ Increase In Germany – Drago Bosnic

Despite the disastrous consequences of the US invasion of Iraq twenty years ago, many of those responsible for that war – and their media and academic cheerleaders are back for more This year’s twentieth anniversary of the illegal Iraq invasion paradoxically coincided with major international events.

You Have Witnessed History In Moscow And It Is Consequential – Larry Johnson
There are moment in time that change the world. Hitler’s invasion of the Soviet Union on 22 June 1941 was one of those. The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941 was another as was 9 November 1989, when the wall in Berlin, Germany, erected by the Soviets, was torn down. And you […]
Welcome To The Era Of Warring Elites – Charles Hugh Smith
What the Warring Elites don’t want us to realize is that a system of transparent competition in which no fiefdom is allowed to become dominant best serves the interests of society at large. I’ve been writing about Warring Elites for a long time (since 2007). As I have often noted, historian Michael Grant identified profound political disunity in the […]
Fighting US Inflation Really Means Fighting The US Federal Reserve – George Ford Smith
There are surely other worlds than this—other thoughts than the thoughts of the multitude—other speculations than the speculations of the sophist. —Edgar Allan Poe, “The Assignation” Nothing brings out misleading or false narratives like the subject of money.

Ruling Class Death Images – Christopher Ketcham
My woman turned to me tonight, rapt in attention in the horrid blue light of the screen, and told me the New York Times real estate section was making her feel jealous, alienated, alone, and worthless.

When Technology Buried Science In A Shallow Grave. “The Fourth Industrial Revolution” – Emanuel Pastreich
Even young children can sense that we live in an age in which literally none of the information available is reliable or believable. Information on a global scale is subject to Gresham’s Law: low-quality information spreads everywhere and the truth is hoarded by the few. What went wrong, and why? In a sense, the original […]
The Current Crisis Is Less A Matter Of False Ideology Than Abnormal Psychology (On A Mass Scale) – Jung-Freud
In the current socio-political climate, it may well be that ideology is secondary to psychology, much of it abnormal. In plain view(and often placed on the pedestal) is so much lunacy with no relation to reality. At least when communism was a force in the 19th and 20th centuries, there were workers struggling in harsh […]

Wunderwaffen Won’t Save Ukraine – Christopher Roach

The Outrageous Price We Pay For A Pentagon Budget From Hell – William Hartung

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. It was absorbed by hard-left ideologues. They were bent on radically altering, or hijacking, existing institutions to force radical, equality-of-result agendas that otherwise do not earn majority support. […]
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. Nixon favorably compared the standard of living of American suburbanites to that of their Russian counterparts under Communism.

How Barack Obama Bombed The “Paris Of Africa” Into A Hell Hole Of Murder, Slave Trade, Sex Trafficking And Mass Starvation – Jeremy Kuzmarov
First, Obama falsely portrayed Gaddafi as a monster; then, he lied about the need for harsh sanctions to punish him for crimes he never committed and, finally, he launched an illegal war under a pretext as phony as Lyndon Johnson’s Tonkin Gulf Resolution and George W. Bush’s Weapons of Mass Destruction. Once upon a time, […]

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.

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.

Banana Republic, Here We Come – Michael Goodwin
My first thought when I saw the news flash that Donald Trump had been indicted was “Banana republic, here we come.” After seeing the instant jubilation on the left, including in the media, my second thought was, “Banana republic, here we are.” It’s a cliché to say we’ve crossed the Rubicon, but that doesn’t make it less […]
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 the hopes of sixty years ago: the hopes that MLK allegedly represented. We remember hoping that if legal segregation was ended and unjust laws struck down, if black Americans were given the same access […]
Count On A Conservative Comeback In US & Canada – Conrad Black

The Tehran-Seoul Scandal: A New Development Or A Rerun Of The Old? – Konstantin Asmolov
During President Yoon Suk-yeol’s visit to the United Arab Emirates, a “diplomatic misunderstanding” (the wording of the ROK Foreign Ministry) occurred, which, according to Yoon’s political opponents, destroyed the sisterly relations between Tehran and Seoul.

Feminism Has Destabilized The American Family – Mona Charen

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. Since the Iranian Revolution of 1979, ties between the two important Muslim neighbours have been strained.

The WEF’s “Net Zero Carbon” Lockdown Fraud: British Protest “15-Minute Cities” Where They Will Become Prisoners Of The State – Amy Mek
To seize further control of people’s lives, Globalists are pushing the false idea that these cities will “save the planet” and help all of humanity.

Where The $1.3 Trillion Per Year US Military Budget Goes – Eric Zuesse
Nobody can give a precise dollar-number to U.S. ‘Defense’ spending because the U.S. ‘Defense’ Department has never been able to pass an audit, and is by far the most corrupt of all federal Departments (and is the ONLY Department that has never passed an audit), and also because much of America’s military spending is being paid out […]
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 […]
Deutsche Bank Stock Market Bloodbath Reignites Global Bank Crisis Fears
On Friday, amid the US Fed’s H.4.1 report, it was noted an unprecedented surge in foreign official Repo ($60 billion) under the Fed’s new FIMA repo facility, which means that the offshore scramble for dollars was alive and well, and someone really needed access to USD.

Angry French Protesters Shift Focus From Pension Fiasco To Macron Himself – “Do You Know The Guillotine?” – Ethan Huff
The blue collar worker-led protests that erupted in Paris have shifted in tone from focusing solely on the pension fiasco to demanding that President Emmanuel Macron’s head be served to them on a platter.

Russia-China-Islam: The New Superpower? – Kevin Barrett
In 1993, American political scientist Samuel Huntington famously predicted that future wars would be between civilizations, not nations.

U.S. Routinely Violates International Law, With Impunity — And Seeks To Replace U.N. – Eric Zuesse
The U.S. Government, and its allies, frequently advocate for “a rules-based international order” (or, going even farther, they presume that “the rules-based international order” already exists) and they always avoid stating what its relationship would be (or supposedly is) to international law — the body of international laws that have been established under the authority of the United Nations […]

It has been almost a year since the Russian army entered Ukraine to implement Security Council Resolution 2202. NATO, rejecting this reason, considers that Russia invaded Ukraine to annex it.
