The Road to 2025 (Part 1) – Prepare for a Multi-Polar World
The Road to 2025 (Part 1) – Prepare for a Multi-Polar World If pressed to describe what I think the next several years will look like as concisely as possible, I’d simply provide the following quote, often misattributed to Lenin: “There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen.” There will […]
West v Russia
West v Russia When government attempt to persuade the people to their side, the rhetoric becomes so blatant it is stunning that so many people just believe what they are told. The typical tactic is always to paint your enemy as some “monster” as Trump just called Assad. You must always demean an opponent and the […]
China’s “Nuclear Option” in the Trade War
China’s “Nuclear Option” in the Trade War The United States has been interested in economic relations with China since 1784, shortly after the American War for Independence. At first, this interest was purely economic, because the British refused to deal with the U.S. (for obvious reasons). So the Americans bought Chinese goods, and the Chinese […]
Syrian Conflict Is A Distraction From A Secret War
Syrian Conflict Is A Distraction From A Secret War Back in March 2010 I published an article titled ‘Will Globalists Trigger Yet Another World War?’under the pen name Giordano Bruno describing what I felt would be the most effective triggers for a new global conflict. In that article I pointed to Syria as the primary […]
The Neocons’ Real Plan for Syria Emerges from the Lack of Rubble
The Neocons’ Real Plan for Syria Emerges from the Lack of Rubble I told you over the weekend that Trump’s presidency was over. As a practical matter it is. His yielding to his ‘advisors’ on every foreign policy issue makes it clear that he can’t or won’t stand up to the relentless pressure to do what […]
How US Has Virtually Destroyed UN
How US Has Virtually Destroyed UN Under President Donald Trump, the US has basically eliminated the only real international authority the UN used to have. Here is how this was done: The equivalent, in international law, to a domestic-law crime involving murder, rape, and theft, is an international invasion that’s purely for aggressive purposes and […]
The Search for the Truth in Douma
The Search for the Truth in Douma This is the story of a town called Douma, a ravaged, stinking place of smashed apartment blocks – and of an underground clinic whose images of suffering allowed three of the Western world’s most powerful nations to bomb Syria last week. There’s even a friendly doctor in a green […]
American and British Reporters Reach Douma, Syria: Discover There Was NO Chemical Weapons Attack
American and British Reporters Reach Douma, Syria: Discover There Was NO Chemical Weapons Attack Well-known British reporter Robert Fisk says that a doctor at the hospital which treated the victims of an alleged chemical weapons attack said there were no chemical weapons … and that it was a member of the White Helmets who started […]
Alas, this is far from over!
Alas, this is far from over! Let’s begin by a short summary of events. About a month ago Nikki Haley announces to the UNSC that the USA is ready to violate the rules of this very self-same UNSC should a chemical attack happen in Syria Then the Russians announced that they have evidence that a […]
British Propaganda and Disinformation: An Imperial and Colonial Tradition
British Propaganda and Disinformation: An Imperial and Colonial Tradition When it comes to creating bogus news stories and advancing false narratives, the British intelligence services have few peers. In fact, the Secret Intelligence Service (MI-6) has led the way for its American “cousins” and Britain’s Commonwealth partners – from Canada and Australia to India and […]
Trump’s Disastrous Syria Attack
Trump’s Disastrous Syria Attack Over the weekend, President Trump celebrated firing more than 100 missiles into Syria by Tweeting, “Mission Accomplished!” They say if you cannot learn from history you are condemned to repeat it. So I guess we are repeating it. We all remember that “Mission Accomplished” was the banner behind then-President Bush as […]
A Tale of American Hubris: Or Five Lessons in the History of American Defeat
A Tale of American Hubris: Or Five Lessons in the History of American Defeat The lessons of history? Who needs them? Certainly not Washington’s present cast of characters, a crew in flight from history, the past, or knowledge of more or less any sort. Still, just for the hell of it, let’s take a few moments […]
Israel Launches Airstrikes On Airbase Near Homs In Syria
Israel Launches Airstrikes On Airbase Near Homs In Syria We had barely finished commenting on Israel’s admission that it was responsible for last Monday’s deadly strike on Syria’s T4 military base – supposedly in retaliation for an Iranian drone flight in February – when reports hit of another Israeli strike, this time targeting Syria’s Shayrat […]
Kabuki Warfare
Kabuki Warfare When this chapter of US history is finally written, it will look like a deep dive into a vat of lentil soup. In Syria Friday night, we came, we saw, and we slung 103 cruise missiles into largely symbolic targets, including a supposed chemical weapons plant just outside Damascus, and some other places […]
Winter is Coming
WINTER IS COMING “Summer will end soon enough, and childhood as well.” – George R.R. Martin, Game of Thrones “Reflect on what happens when a terrible winter blizzard strikes. You hear the weather warning but probably fail to act on it. The sky darkens. Then the storm hits with full fury, and the air is […]
