Turkey and India Have Leverage in Trump’s Iran Sanction War
Turkey and India Have Leverage in Trump’s Iran Sanction War Both India and Turkey have said they will defy President Trump’s call for them to stop buying Iranian oil once the U.S. reapplies sanctions in November.

Many Trump Supporters Now Cheering For The Deep State Over WikiLeaks And Iran
Many Trump Supporters Now Cheering For The Deep State Over WikiLeaks And Iran I just want to briefly document some of the ways I’m seeing the 2015/2016 anti-establishment sentiment of Trump’s base being hijacked and re-routed into supporting some highly conspicuous pro-establishment interests this year.

“They’re Trying To Deceive Us” – North Korea Adding To Nuclear Stockpiles, Satellite Photos Reveal In what appears to be the latest indication that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s talk about abandoning the country’s nuclear arsenal is disingenuous, US intelligence believes Kim has increased nuclear enrichment activities at several “secret” facilities in recent months, […]
The United States Withdraws from the World
The United States Withdraws from the World The United States has decided to no longer participate in the United Nations 47-member Human Rights Council (UNHRC).

White House: US, Ecuador Coordinating About Future Of Assange Asylum The agenda of the United States government to extradite WikiLeaks editor-in-chief Julian Assange is kind of like Israel’s nuclear arsenal: everyone knows it exists, but government officials refuse to openly confirm it.

Failed Economic Policies Have Contributed to Asylum Seekers
Failed Economic Policies Have Contributed to Asylum Seekers Many of the families detained at the U.S.-Mexico border have lost their livelihoods as the result of reforms that benefit elites in the United States and Latin American countries. As a Mexican American and a father of two young children I am horrified to see the cruelty […]
Could Germany Fracture?
Could Germany Fracture? All sorts of centralized organizations that appear rock-solid may well melt into air as the disintegrative dynamics gather momentum. Rising political and social discord that is generally being attributed to “populism” may actually be the re-emergence of ancient geographic and cultural fault lines. An often-overlooked manifestation of this might be the nation-state […]
