Trump's appointment of well-known neocons Mike Pompeo and John Bolton as the next Secretary of State and National Security Advisor respectively proves that he's decisively embraced the neoconservative faction of the "deep state". The President used to rail against people like Pompeo and Bolton, especially the latter because of his hawkish views towards Iraq, but now he's depending on both o [...]

The last couple of decades have seen more and more American, UK, and Canadian citizens becoming wary of their nationality, and certain recent developments have only increased their frustration. Take the recent developments, for example – it seems like every day there is something new going on that makes an average American and Canadian think, "is it the time to finally get out of my country"?  [...]

The White Helmets, which claim to be an impartial NGO, saving civilians in war-torn Syria, have repeatedly been busted using false videos of their daily rescue operations.

Freddie Sayers speaks to financial analyst Louis Gave about the West's self-made economic crisis. On one front are sanctions against Russia responding to the invasion of Ukraine. In February, the EU canceled long-term, favorable contracts which sent the West into an unprecedented energy crisis. Gave puts the hastiness of these decisions down to the pressures of social media activism, or what he c [...]

"The US and NATO are convincing the EU that China is a threat to its security - a China that hasn't dropped a bomb on anyone in 40 years. The US is trying to drive a wedge between China and Europe, and if we go down that road, God help Europe. God! Please save us all."   [...]

I’ve been consistently suspicious and critical of the “Russia conspiracy trap”.  At the same time, I am an historian and a journalist who always wants to know what happened, and who has, I hope, the decency not to close my mind in advance of the facts.  “The truth,” a Russian named Lenin is supposed to have said, “is always revolutionary.” It never serves the people’s cause for a [...]

There never was an effective “Secret Operation” to ensure that an act of sabotage of Nord Stream would be “untraceable to the United States”. The project had been discussed behind closed doors in 2021 as outlined by Seymour Hersh, but the actual planning of this so-called “secret operation” started in December 2021 extending to its execution in June 2022 and the actual sabotage on Sep [...]

The mainstream media is now dominated by liberal, leftist American-hating Democrats who no longer honestly report the news. Instead, they are trying to shape it to fit their globalist New World Order (one world government) ideology. Based on what I’m seeing today in the Unites States and the world, any doubt I’ve had that the world has lost its collective mind have now been dispelled. I neve [...]

Federal Reserve's latest meeting minutes released on 23 November. After four consecutive interest rate hikes of 75 basis points, the vast majority of participants believed that the Fed would soon slow down the pace of rate hikes. This is because, in their view, continuing to raise rates sharply would increase the risk of instability or disruption to the US financial system and the US national debt [...]

Patient, consistent Russian diplomacy has trumped short-term Western hypocrisy. Reduced to desperation, NATO leaders finally attempted a rapprochement with Moscow at the G20. The current schism between Russia and the West began in September 2011. Speaking at the United Russia [...]

Sources with direct knowledge of US intelligence reports say Russia is on the brink of developing a maneuverable, hypersonic nuclear-capable glider warhead that no US system can defeat.

The mainstream media wants you to believe that the Russia/Ukraine conflict is the result of an unprovoked invasion by Russia. This fundamental lie about the conflict clearly stands in the way of understanding the war and of finding a peaceful end to the conflict. Jeffrey D.

Benjamin Netanyahu has lashed out at Israel's arch-foe Iran, vowing that any attempt by Tehran to block the key waterway off Yemen’s coast would be met by force from the “international coalition” and Israel in particular.
