A recent cabinet session led by Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz focused on the changes that have taken place in Syria, including concerns about the new government and the fate […]

Again, economic statecraft eclipses the market’s desire to just talk economic policy. While none of the big central bank decisions yesterday produced headline surprises (the BOC cut 25bps, the Fed held, and the BCB raised 100bps), statecraft was deeply entwined in what they said. Even before we got to their meetings, the Financial Times reported […]

For years, I’ve been attempting to explain that everything is better in China than in the United States. The gap is so massive that if an American raised on cartoonish propaganda about their birthplace as ‘the greatest country on earth’ visits China, it can trigger a serious personal crisis. It simply does not compute. Unsurprisingly, […]

Elon Musk warned more media outlets will see a drop in revenue after Trump closed down USAID, the Democrats’ money laundering slush fund scheme.

The obsessively Russophobic EU leadership is frantically distorting national elections to thwart any parties that are calling for more peaceful relations with Russia. With hilarious irony, the European Union accuses Russia of interfering in elections and subverting democracy. This is while the obsessively Russophobic EU leadership is frantically distorting national elections to thwart any parties […]

Introduction: Where We Are It’s a fallacy to believe the US has a free market economy. The economy is run by a conglomerate of individuals and special interests, in and out of government, including the Deep State, which controls central economic planning. Rigging the economy is required to prevent market forces from demanding a halt […]

On January 1, U.S. Army veteran Shamsud-Din Jabbar drove a rented pickup truck into a crowd on Bourbon Street, killing 15 and injuring dozens.

Jabbar was killed in a shootout with police, but investigators are probing potential accomplices. Hours […]

Over-confidence in the face of the adversary can be the death of kings. In the two great battles whose outcomes turned a small, defensive Anglo-Saxon island into an offensive global empire, the Battle of Hastings in 1066 and the Battle of Bosworth Field of 1485, the ruling English kings, Harold Godwinson and Richard III, launched […]

The rights of Indigenous communities are being wielded as a political club to against Russia, while inconvenient abuses are being ignored For years, international organizations claiming to defend Indigenous rights have paraded their so-called advocacy on global stages, branding themselves as saviors of marginalized communities. But when the time comes to take a stand against […]

There are 80 years, Yalta February 4-11, 1945 showed that even rival powers could cooperate for global stability—so why is such diplomacy impossible today?

The Yalta Conference of February 1945 remains one of the most significant moments in international […]

Billionaires Jeff Bezos of Amazon and Bill Gates of Microsoft are scheming up plans to mass-“vaccinate” the population with “climate vaccines” hidden in food. In order to stop “global warming,” Bezos and Gates feel as though livestock animals raised for meat need to be jabbed with God-knows-what in order to reduce their “methane emissions,” aka flatulence, or farts. […]

For years, the liberal media has been a dominant force in shaping public opinion; whether parroting the Democratic Party’s talking points, attacking conservative figures, or downplaying major scandals that could harm their favored candidates, they had a virtual monopoly in the field of journalism. Things have changed. From the rise of conservative networks and independent […]

Sevim Dagdelen has accused her country’s government of “happily watching the destruction of European industry” Germany should respond to the rising energy prices caused by Ukraine’s halting of Russian gas transit by repairing and reactivating the Nord Stream pipelines, leftist German MP Sevim Dagdelen has said.

In a November 30 Truth Social post, President-elect Trump threatened BRICS states—Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Iran, Ethiopia, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates, plus more states in the process of joining—with 100 percent tariffs on their exports to America if they dared to attempt replacing the US dollar as an international trade currency: The […]

Donald Trump’s peace initiatives have seriously frightened not only the Kiev regime but also that part of the American establishment that makes money from war. A serious provocation is being prepared to disrupt the forthcoming talks between Washington and Moscow. It is intended to influence American public opinion. Another fabricated Russian ‘crime’ could become a […]

Syria Is Secular “I’m Muslim but we celebrate Christmas. Syria is a secular country. We celebrate all other religions and sects. I remember when I was a child, my father used to celebrate this day and say, ‘this is the day of the birth of Jesus Christ, our prophet. So we must enjoy it. We […]

The US president has ordered the withdrawal of the US from the Human Rights Council and suspended financial support for the Palestinian refugee agency US President Donald Trump has taken action against UN agencies that his administration claims exhibit an anti-American bias and propagate “anti-Semitism,” in an executive order signed on Tuesday. This comes amid […]

Editor’s Note A quarter of a millennium ago, the American founders faced an imperial authority whose ambitions clashed with the rights and interests of its own people. As a matter of natural right and political necessity, they asserted their sovereignty as a free nation against this imperial abuse. Casey Wheatland observes clear parallels between the […]

It happens every year around December, a predictable flurry of pseudo-psychology articles from low-IQ progressives expounding on the negatives of Christmas. On top of that, there’s been a pipeline of anti-Christmas films coming out of Hollywood the past decade, including some real woke bombs depicting Santa as a corporatist, a racist and a woman hater.

Artificial intelligence could lead to human extinction within three decades with a likelihood of up to 20%, according to Geoffrey Hinton, a pioneering figure in AI and recipient of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics. This marks an increase from a 10% risk, his estimate just a year ago. During an interview on BBC Radio […]

Corruption is seldom mentioned in a daily propaganda barrage that does not permit any criticism of Ukrainian governance. To defeat Russia, Ukraine would need economic resources that it does not have and will not be able to obtain. ‘War is won by economies, not armies’ said Alex Vershinin, in a 2024 RUSI paper. Put another […]

The other day, Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov made a statement that Russia is ready to discuss security guarantees for a country, “that is now called Ukraine,” however, the Eurasian context will dominate in reaching any agreements.

While the mainstream propaganda machine continues to run the ludicrous “Moscow is losing” narrative, the Russian military continues with both steady advances in Ukraine and a massive modernization program. Over the previous two days alone, it took over around 100 km² previously under the Neo-Nazi junta’s control. The South Front reports that these advances, mostly by the […]

“This is what militaries do during coups: you capture the major targets, with government buildings high on the list, and you take over communications and other systems.”—Ruth Ben-Ghiat, historian on fascism and authoritarian leaders How something is done is just as important as why something is done. To suggest that the ends justify the means is to launch […]

President Donald Trump’s Tuesday proposal to take control of the strip envisioned its transformation into the “Riviera of the Middle East” US President Donald Trump will leverage Washington’s partners in the Middle East to fund the rebuilding of Gaza, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has said.

Don’t worry, the president-elect’s plans to seize Greenland and the Panama Canal aren’t serious. But they sure are weird. Graffiti is drawn on the sidewalk at the Trump International Hotel referencing President-elect Donald Trump’s recent comments that the U.S. should own and control Greenland and the Panama Canal. Something about the holiday season seems to […]

The freeze on American aid has washed a massive media and NGO hoax up to the surface Apparently, it’s a hallmark of “independent” media if the US President breaks wind and, just minutes later, you’re blown away. A few days ago, newly re-minted US President Donald Trump put the brakes on internal sabotage of his […]

Year 2025 will open with some surprises, we hope nice one. Let us hold on tight. 2024 has been a year full of surprises.

The roots of the agricultural crisis in India lie in a variety of factors that collectively make the situation more challenging for the country’s farmers. Despite agriculture being the backbone of the Indian economy, it often receives inadequate attention. The issues in agriculture are not merely short-term but have long-term implications as well. Over the […]

Donald Trump will soon return to the White House, and Elon Musk – the tech billionaire and serial disruptor – regularly weighs in on European politics from across the Atlantic.

“LA is vast. It is a city and a county. It is a global place, a Pacific Rim space, a “Third World” metropolis. It has all the contradictions of the world and all the world is condensed in it. The homes of rich, poor, middle class, Black, white, Asian, Latino have burned. Fire is coming […]

Yet another summit of globalists in Swiss Davos revealed contradictions on the global agenda. Last week, heads of government, banks and large corporations, economists and supporters of a rather strange political program, which the founder of the forum, Klaus Schwab, calls the Fourth Industrial Revolution or Reset, once again gathered in Davos. The WEF (World […]

On Tuesday, staffers at Politico were notified that a ‘technical error’ had prevented paychecks from going out. Many joked that this had something to do with the Trump administration putting a freeze on USAID funding. And while there’s no evidence the two are linked, the suggestion prompted internet sleuths to look into Politico‘s sources of funding. What they found was absolutely […]

The renewed call comes after US President-elect Donald Trump expressed interest in purchasing the island once again Greenland’s Prime Minister, Mute Egede, has renewed calls for independence from Denmark following US President-elect Donald Trump’s reiterated interest in purchasing the Arctic island.

It was no surprise when Deep State puppet Chris Wray announced he was resigning ahead of President Trump’s return to the White House.

While outgoing President Biden was peacefully napping at the Trans-African Summit in Angola, the Russian delegation, headed by Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak, visited the countries of the “Sahel trio”: Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger.

The defeat of the planetary minority in front of Russia and the multipolar world order is closer than ever. This is also recognised by some of the remaining sensible Western experts. Ayear later, one of the extremely rare competent Western observers of world events, French historian, sociologist and social anthropologist Emmanuel Todd, who announced the fall […]

In terms of the bigger picture, the UK definitely wants to play a long-term and highly strategic role in Ukraine, but the extent to which it can execute its lofty plans as contained in last January’s “security guarantee” pact and their latest rehash last week largely depends on the US. The UK and Ukraine clinched […]

From the time it became obvious that Donald Trump was going to win the 2024 election, I said that this whole thing was going to be about Israel. We’d be lucky to get a few things from him, but it would be the Israel administration. However, when he came in, he made a point to […]

Europeans seem to no longer believe the narratives of the Western official media about Ukraine. Popular support for the Kiev regime is decreasing significantly, showing the dissatisfaction of European citizens with the policies of military assistance to Ukraine. In fact, the pro-war measures have already become a burden for Europe and tend to aggravate the […]

In Solidarity with the People of Romania The Protest Movement in Romania should seek to cancel Romania’s NATO Membership. A decision of this nature would imply serious obstacles to a continuation of the Ukraine War. The procedure is relatively straitforward as outlined below. All that it requires is a statement by “any Party” which broadly represents the […]

In the absence of a genuine center-left, these discontented masses are turning to far-right figures and parties as a solution. Last week, one of the largest demonstrations ever witnessed in Bucharest took place. But why? In Romania, the frontrunners in the first round of presidential elections, which saw the participation of 13 candidates, were Elena […]

Ever since Tel Aviv’s 1948 creation, much has been said and written about ‘Greater Israel’ – the notion Zionism’s ultimate end goal is the forcible annexation and ethnic cleansing of vast swaths of Arab lands for Jewish settlement, based on Biblical claims that this territory was promised to Jews by God. The media typically dismisses this concept […]

President Javier Milei has accused the global health agency of mismanaging the Covid-19 pandemic Argentina has announced its withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO), citing fundamental policy disagreements, particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic.

From the first day of his return to office Trump has been locked in a life and death struggle with the American Establishment.

A new American president and a new Middle East configuration have brought Iran back into the crosshairs for regime change with an intoxicating vengeance.

The Russian hypersonic ballistic missile, Oreshnik, poses a significant threat to U.S. aircraft carriers due to its multiple warhead capability and saturation effect. • Aircraft carriers, while critical for power projection and military operations, are increasingly vulnerable to advanced missile technologies. • The cost disparity between hypersonic missiles and aircraft carriers raises questions about the […]

It’s a clever little rule based on a curious linguistic coincidence: “You should eat oysters only in months whose name contains an ‘r.’” The linguistic coincidence is that, in the northern hemisphere, the names with an “r” cover all the cool and cold months when oysters were safest to eat in pre-refrigeration days. A similarly simple rule […]

The Middle East is on the verge of total war despite recent developments involving a fragile ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas and the collapse of the Assad government in Syria last month which is now occupied by terrorists, so 2025 seems like its going to be a turbulent year with the transition from the […]

The ousting of Syrian President Bashar al Assad has put the United States, Israel and Turkey on a fast-track to a broader and more violent conflagration. By removing Assad and obliterating the state, the coup managers created a power vacuum that has been filled by the proxy armies of the most vicious and aggressive nations in […]

Ankara needs to create regional alliances to resist new offensives from Washington. Trump’s second presidency term has begun. What are the key characteristics that differs Trump from his opponents? How does his presidency relate to the rise of a multipolar world? What direction will his policies on West Asia, Türkiye and Syria take, and what […]

The torture and murder of civilians suggest a deliberate strategy to terrorize the local population and create chaos in Russian territories. During the ongoing Ukraine’s war of aggression against the Russian Federation, numerous incidents involving the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) have come to light, highlighting grave violations of human rights and international law. However, the […]

History will remember this era as the moment when America’s most sacred principles collided with unprecedented institutional power – and lost. The systematic dismantling of fundamental rights didn’t happen through military force or executive decree, but through the quiet cooperation of tech platforms, media gatekeepers, and government agencies, all claiming to protect us from “misinformation.” […]

Regardless of the success of the ceasefire, the Israeli side is the defeated one. After more than a year of bloody fighting in the Gaza Strip, both sides reached a ceasefire agreement. Hamas and Israel reportedly agreed to halt hostilities from January on, implementing a multiple step “pacification” plan to end the war. The agreement […]

European defense is at a crossroads, with the European Union preparing an unprecedented investment push to bolster its military infrastructure.

Even though the EU liberal establishment did whatever it could to thwart the surging rightwing parties, going as far as cancelling the election in Romania, 2024 was the year where we saw the continental right become a formidable force that is fighting for power all over Europe.

France, once considered a “key” partner in Africa, is now seeing its influence decline. The recent breakdown of military agreements with certain African countries, such as Chad and Senegal (which is looming on the horizon), is a striking example that extends the list that is part of a historical continuity. The time of colonies is […]

Yet another African state has broken its military agreements with the former colonial power of France. Chad, an oil-rich country bordering West and North Africa, has been a longtime ally of Paris plagued by decades of instability due to factional and regional disputes. On December 10, the French military began to pull out its troops […]

Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini announced a bill to withdraw Italy from the World Health Organization (WHO), echoing U.S. President Donald Trump’s similar move.

Critics of the bill, such as renowned scientist Elena Cattaneo, argue that it is […]

The U.S. enjoys many strengths that give it an edge over other republics, such as a decentralized and innovative economy that draws global talent and unmatched military strength.

Donald J. Trump, upon taking the oath of office as the 47th President of the United States on January 20, 2025, explicitly stated that Canada should not be a state… As of February 1, Trump is “taking back” Canada. By becoming a state – she will benefit: taxes will go down and she will be […]

President Trump isn’t joking now. Perhaps he never was. The incoming President posted a statement on Truth Social early this morning, denouncing the United States continuing to “subsidize Canada to the tune of over $100,000,000 a year” while repeating his desire to make Canada the 51st state. “Makes no sense!” he said. “Many Canadians want Canada […]

The terrorist group MEK (Mujahedin-e Khalq), also known as the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI), has been recognized as one of the most violent and treacherous anti-Iranian terrorist groups since its inception.

Ukraine must have “realistic” discussions on territorial issues, French President Emmanuel Macron said on January 6.

Trump’s renewed fury to take possession of Canada, Greenland and the control of the Panama Canal is the utmost meaning of American imperialism. As before WWI and in the Nazi regime, the U.S. seems to have entered the late stage of its imperial hubris. Lebensraum is Back: Trump’s Reappropriation of a Dark Legacy The concept of Lebensraum (German for “living […]

This exciting week, the man who would be king of everything made his first pronouncements. Greenland should be purchased by the United States. Canada should sell itself to the US. The Gulf of Mexico should be renamed ‘Gulf of America.’ Trump has started a scramble of imperial rebranding. France wants the return of what was […]

A deep dive into the covert support the UK and US provided to HTS exposes the calculated, secretive western strategies to support the Al-Qaeda-linked, UN-designated terror group that runs Syria today. On 18 December, The Telegraph published an extraordinary investigation into how the UK and US trained and “prepared” fighters in the Revolutionary Commando Army (RCA), a “rebel” force that […]

The US press, loyal to the Democratic Party, underlined that the first executive orders and steps of the 47th US President caused shock in the US and abroad.

During the past week I’ve been watching the frenzy over Donald Trump’s cabinet confirmations, specifically because the fabric of his cabinet will give us insight into how the next four years of his presidency will play out.

Disunity, mutual distrust, betrayal, the naivety of a significant portion of the population, and the inability to analyse past and present events – these are just a few characteristics of today’s Arab world.

During his inaugural address, the new president of the United States was refreshingly open about the fact that Washington is the hub of a continuously expanding empire which is ruled by billionaire plutocrats. As Joe Lauria highlighted for Consortium News, President Trump’s speech included references to the “manifest destiny” of America, saying that under his presidency […]

Reserve preparation for the Ukrainian counteroffensive has failed. Kiev has to refuse forming new brigades, instead focusing on reinforcing the experienced formations already in place.

Question 1: Western Media Bias? Is the western media even-handed in its coverage of China? And how has this impacted public perception of China in America? Ron Unz—I think the Western media has been overwhelmingly biased against China, a bias that stretches back for decades but has steadily grown worse during the 2010s and especially […]

There is little doubt that the involvement of the Ukrainian military in Syria has been orchestrated by the NATO sponsors of the Kiev regime. Reports that Ukrainian military special forces are crucially helping jihadist terrorists in Syria should be no surprise – except perhaps to consumers of Western media. That the NeoNazi Kiev regime is […]

Indonesia has officially joined the expanding BRICS group of developing economies.

President-elect Donald Trump’s interest in acquiring Greenland and integrating Canada as the 51st state is driven by the need to counter Russia’s advances in the Arctic region and its development of next-generation hyepersonic ballistic missiles.

During my graduate studies (’93-97), I looked at the history of prizes in science. I learned that from ~1600-1800, prizes funded science lots, and much more than did grants. But ~1830, science elites controlling top scientific societies, in both Britain and France, defrauded donors to switch funding to grants, which were then selected by society […]

Canada plays a decisive role in the import of indispensable raw materials. But can the U.S. really get by without this trade?

A prominent doctor is raising the alarm as trials for new “self-amplifying mRNA vaccines” have just begun in the United States before they are rolled out for public use. The Bill Gates-promoted “self-amplifying” mRNA shots contain the equipment needed to make more of itself once it enters cells. The injections have been dubbed “replicon” vaccines because they […]

Turkey remains deeply engaged in consolidating its position in war-torn Syria, a development that displeases both internal and external actors. Is Erdoğan prepared to compromise, or does he believe in achieving a complete victory? The triumphal advance of Turkish-backed forces, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham* (HTS) and the Syrian National Army* (SNA), from Idlib to Damascus has been the result […]

Universities no longer produce educated people, and educated people are ceasing to exist. It is an interesting question, not to be discussed here, whether the disappearance of educated people is cause or result of the rise in barbarity that is engulfing the world. Wherever one looks one sees degeneration. From Bach, Mozart, Beethoven to four-letter […]

Brics has become an alternative power base outside the reach of the US and its allies, and a rising counterweight to US influence globally The year is shaping up to be one of shake-ups in global geopolitics and power. Donald Trump has assumed the US presidency for a second term with a resounding victory, after the […]

The “international order based on rules is not written, it is not possible to find it in any document or treaty, it is the result of the casuistic interpretation of facts often created artificially. The BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) summit held on October 25th in Kazan, in the Russian Federation, managed […]

Either Guardian journalists don’t care about police accruing powers to jail journalists for doing journalism, or they have no real control over the material the paper publishes Guardian journalists have probably the strongest chapel of the main journalist union in Britain. Strong enough that they were able to organise a strike this past week over […]

Washington has wielded the sanctions weapon against nearly a third of all nations on earth. It is time to rethink these policies, and one hopes the incoming Trump administration will do just that and change course. As the Washington drawbridge lowers for a second Trump administration, the world attempts to glean any insights that might […]

The war to destroy Russia has been an evil in which the British, Americans, Germans and French have combined for more than a century now. In the present stage on the Ukrainian battlefield, every weapon and force fielded by the Anglo-Americans and their allies has been defeated; the Ukraine itself, territorially and politically, has been […]

We can safely assume that Ursula von der Leyen, as head of the EU, was aware of the criminal activities of Didier Reynders. On December 5, various Western media reported that Didier Reynders, a former Belgian EU Justice Commissioner, had been buying lottery tickets with dubious funds in the Belgian National Lottery for approximately ten […]

The CIA likes to fashion itself as a heroic agency that helps to protect national security and uphold democracy around the world. However, Hugh Wilford’s book, The CIA: An Imperial History (Basic Books, 2024), shows that the CIA draws directly from British and French colonial precedents, and adopts the same modus operandi as imperial intelligence services. The […]

President-elect Donald Trump warned federal employees last week that they must return to the office, or “they’re going to be dismissed” – an announcement which comes on the heels of several major corporations taking swift action to end work-from-home, a pandemic-era policy that saw a considerable portion of the US workforce adapt to remote work. During […]

Tl;dr: Elon Musk summed up the whole f**king farce succinctly: We wonder how the American taxpayer feels about their hard-earned cash being taken away from them and used for this purpose… *  *  * In addition to propping up far-left corporate media outlets like Politico and the BBC with taxpayer funds, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) […]

Former Israeli Special Operators operator Aaron Cohen assessed the New Orleans New Year’s Day terror attack in an interview with FOX News host Tammy Bruce. TAMMY BRUCE, FOX NEWS HOST: The press conference out of Las Vegas was much more, was very clear. They showed video of what was inside the Tesla. There was, there […]

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, while a Globalist, brings to the job a personality that has not succumbed to extreme ‘Trump-Derangement-Syndrome’. He is also willing to state his mind even about the once-untouchable Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Rutte has come out and said he considers the harsh criticism of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz by Zelensky […]

It’s not going to risk breaking up NATO, let alone over a war that it’ll certainly lose, no matter how tough its Foreign Minister is trying to sound as part of a ploy to present France as the EU’s leader. Politico quoted French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot as saying that his country had discussed the possible […]

Chinese artificial intelligence company DeepSeek, a generative artificial intelligence chatbot, has crushed its rival ChatGPT by becoming the highest-rated free app in the Apple App Store in the United States after the launch on January 20 of its new R1 version, which offers performance comparable to that of the latest version of products from OpenAI, […]

Donald Trump’s return to the presidency marks a renewed wave of populism in the United States, raising concerns about domestic governance and international repercussions. The Manipulative Tactics of Populist Leaders At its core, populism is predicated on the denial of pluralism. It exploits the masses’ emotions, rejecting conventional beliefs and values. It prospers on theatrical […]

It is necessary to keep an eye on what answers Russia, China and Iran in particular will give to the Syrian issue and the U.S.’s arrogant provocation. Recent events in Syria with the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s government are prompting major changes across the geopolitical chessboard. As the geometry of the Middle East changes, so […]

The US billionaire can be brutal, mean, and unfair, but Scholz, Starmer, et al deserve every bit of his ire Elon Musk has been at it again. Using his X platform and pure oomph as the richest man in the world and President-elect Donald Trump’s “first buddy,” the tech tycoon has been dishing out unsolicited […]

DeepSeek, a Chinese AI startup, has sent a shockwave through the US tech industry and Wall Street in the last week. Its LLM R1, trained under $6 million and 2 months, has outperformed the latest offerings from OpenAI, Meta, Google and Microsoft, who have spent tens of billions and years on their models. The DeepSeek […]

People are always correcting me when I use the term “elite” to describe that group of “people” (or maybe lizards) who are calling the shots and who created the “agenda” and want the rest of us (useless eaters) either under their thumb or dead. The people who correct me claim these people (or lizards) are […]

What a debacle. More than 15,000 people died in Canada in one year because they couldn’t access care in the country’s collapsing socialized health-care system. From the Toronto Sun story: Close to 15,500 people died waiting for health care in Canada between April 1, 2023 until March 31, 2024, according to data compiled by SecondStreet.org via Freedom to […]

he most common argument you’ll hear from those defending the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is that the grant dollars in question are just a fraction of the federal budget — less than one percent! Even if the Trump administration eliminated USAID altogether it wouldn’t put much of a dent in the deficit […]

 Video Link Press TV’s Yemen correspondent Yusef Al-Hamoudi and I discussed Yemen’s successful hit on Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv. The strike, which “Israel” is denying, came a few hours ago as retaliation for “Israel”’s terrorist attack yesterday on Sanaa International Airport. Excerpts: Yusef Al-Hamoudi: Demonstrations have been held here in Yemen, in the […]

You don’t win with loser strategies – Tonya Harding In 1904, Sir Halford Mackinder, director of the London School of Economics, gave a presentation at the Royal Geographical Society that proved to be influential. “The Geographical Pivot of History” posited a World-Island: Africa Asia, and Europe, the “heartland” of which stretched from the Persian Gulf […]

The tabloid, citing an analysis by the Foreign Ministry, claims national air-defenses cannot intercept the Russian hypersonic missile Germany’s air defenses are not capable of effectively shielding the country from Russia’s new hypersonic Oreshnik missile, Bild has reported, citing an internal analysis prepared by the Foreign Ministry. The intermediate-range ballistic rocket, which can carry multiple […]

The question of whether the United Kingdom is capable of offering true, equal, and mutually beneficial cooperation becomes clear when observing its practical actions and underlying interests. The foreign policy of the United Kingdom, particularly in regions like the Middle East, Latin America, and the Asia-Pacific, continues to exhibit characteristics of a veiled neocolonialism, where […]

What in the world just happened at Reagan National Airport?  Like many of you, I was deeply distressed to hear of such a great tragedy that should have been so easy to avoid.  There is no way that we can bring back those that have died.  Many believe that if competent people were running things […]

The first BRICS+ Summit after the group’s enlargement in January 2024 allowed Russian host Vladimir Putin to style himself as a non-isolated world leader, but the lack of substantial developments on core topics highlights the disparities among its nine member states’ ambitions for the organization, rather than their unity. While BRICS must be taken seriously […]

Africa is experiencing a surge in energy development, with both fossil fuel and renewable energy projects on the rise. Significant oil and gas discoveries have been made in recent years, while renewable energy investments are increasing rapidly.

Red Note, the Chinese social Media App has revealed to some US citizens that they live in Ghetto-like conditions in terms of safety, freedom, healthcare, and infrastructure compared to the Chinese. However, Donald Trump, the new US president, still seems intent on dragging the exhausted masses into other imperialist rampages. Prison Break and Unconcerned Oligarchy The latest […]

US-supported terrorists have captured dozens of Syrian towns and claim to be close to the Aleppo city center and M4 international highway.

In August 2016 a US-funded terrorist group beheaded a 12-year-old Palestinian, Abdullah Issa in Al Mashad Square, Al Insari district, Aleppo. Nour Al Din Zenki, the terrorist group responsible, later featured in a Channel 4 report “Up Close with the Rebels” which Channel 4 tried to remove from the internet after their terrorist-promotion was pointed […]

In the past, there were many locally defined conflicts on the various continents, which were often unrelated. But in today’s global world, in which the big players operate with all the powerful structures of the special services, we always have to ask ourselves in every single conflict which interests it serves. Now that it is […]

The basic fact that the United States is an empire is perhaps the most systematically taboo subject within mainstream American information systems and public discourse. U.S. imperialism is almost never discussed in depth, critically or intelligently, within corporate media or the educational system. It is never mentioned by candidates of the two dominant political parties, […]

In light of the ongoing confrontation between Ethiopia, Egypt and Somalia, the internal political conflict in the south of the latter creates even more opportunities for bargaining, which is one of the tactics of non-military resolution of the conflict surrounding Somaliland. Federalism in Somalia The history of independent Somalia is likely one of the most […]

In late November, the seemingly dormant civil war in Syria reignited and Syrian rebel groups began a new drive across western Syria. At first, the rebels captured Aleppo and Hama, and then moved on to the capital Damascus, finally toppling the Assad regime. The fall of the Assad regime—the last secular Arab regime—represents a victory […]

Berlin is unable or unwilling to finally abandon a pernicious groupthink that subordinates its interests to Washington’s misguided political agenda Oops, he’s done it again: Tech mogul, richest man in the world, and also now new bestie of American President-elect Donald Trump, Elon Musk has used his massive social media clout – as owner of […]

This is a free preview of Kurt’s weekly VIP members’ only column.  Donald Trump’s shock and awe campaign has been something to behold, and he’s nowhere close to being done. We can’t let the soft, squishy Republicans within the GOP derail our mission of destroying the radical left.  Join Townhall VIP and our fight against the Establishment. […]

It’s often been said, during and in the aftermath of the Iraq War, that it was the single greatest foreign policy failure/fiasco in US history. Was it? Of course, given the passions surrounding the event then spiraling out of control, many agreed with the assessment(especially given the incompetence of George W. Bush), but in retrospect, […]

A breakthrough in treating the deadly disease is nearing completion, according to the head of the Gamaleya Research Institute Russian scientists are finalizing work on a new, groundbreaking cancer vaccine due to be released next year, according to Alexander Gintsburg, the head of the Gamaleya Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology. The Gamaleya Center created […]

Freezing the conflict in Syria was the biggest mistake by Assad and the former government, which took too humane a position on terrorists. After the fall of Syria and the partial collapse of the Axis of Resistance, a predictable smear campaign has been launched in Western media, which, like for Russia, is based on distortion […]

The US president’s unapologetic leadership exposes Western hypocrisy US President Donald Trump’s return to the center stage of world politics has once again ignited discussions about his peculiar political behavior. While the subject may feel numbing to some, Trump continues to dictate the global information agenda, underscoring two key realities about the modern world. First, […]

Suchir Balaji, a 26-year-old former OpenAI researcher, was found dead by apparent suicide in his San Francisco apartment on November 26. Balaji critically examined OpenAI’s data collection practices, arguing that they violated copyright laws and undermined fair use rules, particularly regarding the popular AI program ChatGPT. Balaji’s concerns sparked a significant debate about the ethical […]

NATO, formed in 1949 amidst Cold War tensions, has long relied on US military strength. With Russia’s diminished power and Europe’s increased economic capacity, it’s time for the US to withdraw from NATO. This move would alleviate the burden on American taxpayers, push Europe towards a greater and more healthy sense of self-reliance, and enhance […]

While Turkish officials are actively visiting Damascus, in northeastern Syria, pro-Turkish formations have begun the second phase of the fight against the PKK. The main target of the national Syrian army is Manbij, Kobani and up to Raqqa. The “Rojava” administration is trying to bargain with Ankara in the hope of getting at least something […]

The policy of incremental escalation is looking increasingly unwise Back in 1997, when Canada still had a more or less independent foreign policy, the Canadian government celebrated the signing of the Ottawa Treaty banning the use of anti-personnel landmines. At the time, it was heralded as an extraordinary achievement of Canadian diplomacy, and was a […]

In the aftermath of the tariffs placed on goods imported from China, the United States Postal Service has suspended the delivery of packages from the communist country. While an official reason has not been given, it is likely to ensure the new tax is levied on those packages. The United States is well known for […]

The unresolved Libyan crisis demands a solution not only because the country lost its unity following NATO’s unlawful intervention in 2011, which dismantled one of the foremost forces of Pan-Africanism at the time, but also due to its economic implications. Today, the international community cannot allow Western powers and their allies to continue the unrestrained […]

At first glance, the answer to what a distant, massive island and a small landlocked country have in common seems simple: absolutely nothing! Except that both territories are part of the NATO family—Greenland through Denmark, and Macedonia, after selling its name, identity, and culture to gain NATO membership. Even before entering the White House, the […]

Days after the fall of the Assad regime, Syria tries to rebuild. A transitional government led by Mohammed al-Bashir (Hayat Tahrir al-Sham appointee) would govern the country for the next few months. The main and obvious challenge facing the new authorities is to stop the atrocities in the country. Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS, formerly Jabhat […]

The US government likes to say that it is in confrontation with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) rather than against the Chinese people. The US Congress often takes pains to label its anti-China legislations as anti-CCP. The controlled media also follows this politically correct approach to describe the US-China competition. I often wonder why. I […]

Ukrainian officials and commanders admit that efforts to build the fortifications are hampered by delays and a lack of coordination, a factor that, in turn, is further demoralising Ukrainian forces amid the rapid advance of Russian troops, writes the Financial Times. This persistent corruption in the Kiev regime has resulted in the Ukrainian army being […]

“Everyday the future looks a little bit darker.” Alan Moore, Watchmen We have become a nation adrift in a sea of government overreach, abuse and corruption.

I hardly ever watch YouTube. Most of my information, I read, as that is much easier. If I want some sound in the background to prevent me from having to manage my own thoughts, I listen to Rumble or normal podcasts. When I do go to YouTube, it is just to watch Judge Napolitano’s interviews […]

The US president has announced a bid to take over the enclave and relocate its Palestinian population elsewhere President Donald Trump’s plan to take over Gaza and move the Palestinians out to surrounding Arab countries would amount to “ethnic cleansing” and a “crime against humanity,” Bassem Naim, head of the Hamas political branch told RT […]

As reported earlier in May 2022, Democrats in the US partnered with pharma companies and foundations led by George Soros and Bill Gates to set up bioresearch in Ukraine, using the project to generate additional funding for elections, the Russian military claimed in its latest biolab briefing. “It needs to be said that the ideologues of US […]

“The black flag of Salafist Islam has been raised over Damascus. ISIS/Al Qaeda has won…. The same terrorists who attacked us on 9/11. Whom we waged war against in Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere. Losing thousands of our servicemen and women. Costing trillions of dollars. They won. And we helped them. America stands for nothing. …” —Scott Ritter@RealScottRitter General […]

Around 1,200 people voluntarily sign up for military service every […]

A profound shift in the global perception of Israel — and perhaps of the Jewish people as a whole — is underway. After the catastrophe European Jews endured under Hitler during World War Two, they evoked widespread pity, compassion, and sincere sympathy on a global scale. This moral capital facilitated the establishment of the State […]

The IDF dramatically increased its bombing campaign in Lebanon on Tuesday in the hours preceding an expected ceasefire with Hezbollah. Israel always does this, and it’s so gross. Normal people get a ceasefire agreement and think “Good, this means we can finally stop fighting.” Israel gets a ceasefire agreement and goes, “This means we have to hurry […]

Residents of the town of Baath in the southern Syrian governorate of Quneitra – currently under occupation by Israel’s military – have been ordered by Israeli forces to surrender all weapons present in the town or face invasion. Israeli troops ordered Baath City’s residents to give up all arms within two hours on 22 December, […]

The West, which has a global hegemonic ambition, sees Russia as a threat because of its own physical presence in the Heartland. In times of war and with the threat of nuclear conflict, it is important to reflect on the future of the countries involved in the main geopolitical disputes. Western propaganda often tries to […]

Who would have thought it: Donald Trump has chosen Elon Musk as a member of his new cabinet. Nothing more American than that. A man from…where? There is a little story that is often told in the USA, the ‘land of opportunity’: in an ordinary white garage in an ordinary house in an ordinary town, […]

It is hard to find an article in the past century more influential in economic methodology than Milton Friedman’s “The Methodology of Positive Economics.” Its significance lies not in presenting groundbreaking new ideas but in its power to organize and articulate existing ones that had already been shaping the subconscious of many economists. Since its […]

“System Update” host Glenn Greenwald talks about the rebranding of al-Qaeda terrorist Mohammed al-Jolani into a “blazer-wearing moderate” set to lead the new government in Syria (full episode below this segment of transcript): GLENN GREENWALD: This incredible transformation of how Al Jolani is talked about and how his group is talked about. It just shows […]

Earlier this year, Catholic Online School, the world’s largest online K-12 education program, was deplatformed by Shopify for its pro-life stance. The move cost the organization millions in revenue, severely hampering its ability to provide education to 1.4 million students across 193 countries. At its core, this incident is about more than the deplatforming of […]

The State allows popular causes and opinions to reach their audience without needing the approval of big business. Although the French love to paint the U.S. as a rudimentary country compared to European nations (especially France), France itself served as a representation of European cultural decadence at the Olympics. The Last Supper with an obese […]

The restrictions have been announced due to an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in Germany Russia’s food safety watchdog (Rosselkhoznadzor) has banned imports of meat from the EU due to the risk of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD).

Throughout the post-colonial era, we can see how Western powers interfere, covertly and openly, in the internal affairs of independent states Resource-rich regions of Africa have often found themselves entangled in murky geopolitical maneuvers where foreign actors covertly arm rebels, repressive political factions and insurgents by usually disguising it as aid to trade influence and […]

Western officials and journalists take numbers from the Ukrainian Defence Ministry as truer than the Gospel. There has been an enormous cancellation of debate on Ukraine in the mainstream western media. Google does its part too, making it very difficult in the west to search for and find genuinely independent reporting on what is happening. […]

An investigation conducted by The New York Times revealed that during the war in the Gaza Strip, Israel did not comply with security measures aimed at protecting civilians. Israel’s criminal actions Astudy conducted by the New York Times revealed that soldiers and officers from the Israeli Defense Forces committed war crimes by breaking international rules of war […]

It is some years now since a lot of people began imagining the specter of World War III in the near or middle distance. This kind of thinking has been especially common since the U.S., with determination and purpose, provoked Russia to intervene in Ukraine three years ago this coming February. A few weeks later […]

Gross domestic product is projected to grow 1.4% this year The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has once again increased its growth outlook for the Russian economy in 2025 despite global challenges.

An official in Yemen vowed hours after the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s government in Syria that Sanaa is ready for either “peace” or a “long war,” maintaining the position of the Sanaa government and Ansarallah resistance movement to continue fighting Israel until the war on Gaza is brought to an end. Hussein al-Ezzi, a member […]

I’m not sure that “software will eat the world,” but it could consume the stock market bubble in a single gulp. Is DeepSeek a Sputnik Moment? Let’s break it down. The Soviet Union’s October 1957 launch of the world’s first artificial satellite, Sputnik 1, stunned the U.S., which reckoned it had a commanding lead in “the […]

As 2024 draws to a close, the remarkable expansion of BRICS stands out as the biggest geopolitical story of the year. BRICS has informally been on the horizon of world politics since the mid-2000s. But this year, the bloc’s dawn made way for a spectacular sunrise, promising a fairer multipolar world order. It was sparked […]

It is not the first year that people have been talking about the decline of unipolar hegemony of the United States and the emergence of a multipolar world order. In 2003, when the U.S. began its occupation of Iraq, the refusal of Washington’s European partners to support this adventure led to radically opposite opinions. While […]

The Serbian people will once again have to pay the price for their foolish naiveté, Stephen Karganovic writes. The political and social crisis convulsing Serbia has deepened since we last referred to this topic (and here). Civil unrest driven by university and high school students is gaining momentum and is now an everyday reality in […]

Though we do not have the financial firepower and formidable networks of the late Aga Khan, that is no bad thing, as we must now get the finger out, and not be dependent upon the Aga Khan or thugs like Kevin Mallon to do the heavy lifting for us. Although the recent passing of Prince Karim […]

The beginning of 2025 marked Indonesia’s official accession to BRICS as a full-fledged member.
