Syria has been disintegrated and pillaged in the name of ‘liberating’ Syrians from the threat of ISIS, which they – Washington – had installed in the first place. James Jeffrey, former U.S. Ambassador to Iraq and Turkey, in a March 2021 interview with PBS Frontline, laid out very plainly the template for what has just... Read More
Tehran and Moscow harbor no illusions – and are preparing accordingly. The war on BRICS is just getting started. Syria as we knew it is being eviscerated in real time – in geographic, cultural, economic and military terms – by an appalling confluence of mercenary Rent-a-Jihadi mobs and psychopathological genocidals praying at the altar of...

Will the collective West rise to defend the remaining Syrian Christians when the Black Flags come to purge them? The standard modus operandi of the Hegemon is always Divide and Rule. Cornered by the inexorable rise of the multi-nodal (italics mine) reality, they saw an opening for an imperial reboot, betting everything on establishing the... Read More
To seek a deal on Ukraine is to treat the symptom and to ignore a cure. ‘Doomsters’ is an occasional Russian expression used to categorise commentators that only see the ‘dark side to events’ (a vice quite prevalent during the Soviet era). Marat Khairullin, a highly respected Russian military analyst, says, “Today, a network of... Read More
The Global Majority should be on full alert. The Greater Idiblistan attack is part of a complex interconnected operation. The timeline tells the story. November 18: Ronen Bar, Israel’s Shin Bet chief, meets with heads of MIT, Turkey’s intel. November 25: NATO Chief Mark Rutte meets with Turkey’s Sultan Erdogan. November 26: Salafi-jihadis assembled by... Read More
The Middle East is ‘conservative’ no more. Rather, a very different ‘Awakening’ is gestating. The long war to reaffirm western and Israeli primacy is undergoing a shape-shift. On one front, the calculus in respect to Russia and the Ukraine war has shifted. And in the Middle East, the locus and shape of the war is... Read More
As Russia revamps the role of Zeus, China is busy revamping the role of Hermes. Oh, the wonders chips from dishwashers are able to unleash. How come Zeus, King of the Gods, could not have foreseen it? Especially when his divine intuition was aware that in the future his thunderbolts would be replicated in Russia... Read More
With Oreshnik now entering the picture, everywhere the Hegemon will try to harass China they will also have to face Russia. When it comes to state of the art Russian weaponry, what the inestimable Ray McGovern defines as the MICIMATT – the whole Hegemonic complex – seems to dwell in perpetual stupor. They had no...

More than just a dangerous provocation aimed at Russia, the ATACM and Storm Shadow attacks represent an attempt to turn foreign policy on its head. “The Deep State whispered to Trump: ‘You cannot withstand the storm’. Trump whispered back: “I am the stormâ€. The war is on. The Deep State has launched a war of... Read More
Africa now essentially needs political will to fight infrastructural problems, a human capital deficit and an institutional deficit. JOHANNESBURG – At the APEC annual summit in Lima, Comrade Xi Jinping was practically coronated as the King of Peru, as a lively moveable feast celebrated the brand new $1.3 billion Chancay-Shanghai Maritime Silk Road across the...

Trump may not appreciate just how isolated the U.S. and Israel are among Israel’s Arab and Sunni neighbours. Israelis, as a whole, are exhibiting a rosy assurance that they can harness Trump, if not to the full annexation of the Occupied Territories (Trump in his first term did not support such annexation), but rather, to... Read More
The West doesn’t have the financial clout to pursue global primacy – if it ever did. The election has occurred; Trump will take office in January; many of the existing Party Nomenklatura will be replaced; different policies will be announced – but actually taking power (rather than just sitting in the White House) will be... Read More
Fasten your seatbelts: whatever happens, Trumpquake is bound to be a bumpy ride. On the political Richter scale, that was a killer – literally. What was supposed to be a Liberal Totalitarian Show was brutally, unceremoniously, swept out of the park – any park. Even before Election Day, critical thinking was aware of the stakes.... Read More
Of course, a victory narrative was too valuable to be foregone. Yet nonetheless, unexplained events matter. On Saturday, an Israeli force of some 100 aircraft attacked Iran from a stand-off position in Iraq, some 70 kilometres outside the Iranian border. A Wall Street Journal author, Walter Russell Meade, Distinguished Fellow at the Hudson Institute, wrote:... Read More
The Kazan lab has laid out several geoeconomic road maps, and is seriously taking the inevitable roadblocks into account. We will need weeks, months, years to fully grasp the enormity of what took place in Kazan during the annual BRICS summit under the Russian presidency. For the moment let’s cherish arguably the most appropriate definition... Read More
Israel teeters at the edge: it will not be able to impose itself over the plurality of resistance that it faces. Centuries ago a boy was born. His parents understood that he had a remarkable fate before him which reflected the Will of the Great Shaman. His hair was light, his eyes were light green,... Read More
All the war “games†played over successive years have resulted in America losing. A major war between Israel and Iran is soon likely to erupt – so says Israel’s Defence Minister Gallant. It will be initiated when Israel launches its long mooted strike on Iran. Gallant has promised that Israel’s strike on Iran will be... Read More
Indivisibility of security as envisaged by Russia-China amounts to the de facto application of the UN Charter. The result would be peace on a global level – and by implication the death knell to NATO One week before the absolutely crucial BRICS summit in Kazan, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) held a summit in Islamabad....

Playing nice’ won’t change its paradigm. Failure does. With the assassination of Sayed Hassan Nasrallah and a number of the Hizbullah senior leadership in Beirut – expressly without prior warning being given to the Pentagon – Netanyahu fired the start gun on an implicit Israeli widening of war to – using Israel’s term – the...

It’s impossible to count on corrupt Arab regimes – the weak link – to stop the Gaza genocide. ISTANBUL – Of all the countless analyses across the lands of Islam about the profound significance of fateful Al-Toofan (Al-Aqsa Flood) on October 7, 2023, this one stands out: a cycle of conferences in Istanbul earlier this...

The West is in the throes of at least one, potentially two, crushing defeats at the moment – and so the question arises: Will lessons be learned? John Kerry, just last week at the World Economic Forum, so clearly blurting out the truth: “Our First Amendment stands as a major block to our ability to... Read More
The Talmudic psychos not only obsessed on breathing fire against the Axis of Resistance but now also going after Russian national interests. A case could be made that Iran’s Ballistic Retaliation Night, a measured response to Israel’s serial provocations, is less consequential when it comes to the efficacy of the Axis of Resistance than the...

A symbol was shattered. A legend is born. The Resistance, more than ever, won’t back down. That was framed not by a Shi’ite, but by a Lebanese Christian leader, encapsulating how a true Political Islam icon is capable of transcending all – artificial – borders. This decade, that I defined as The Raging Twenties, started... Read More
Like a river undisturbed while traversing a rocky wilderness, China silently flows away on its path to peaceful primacy. Leading website Guancha has published the transcript of a first-class lecture at Renmin University on China-U.S. relations by Martin Jacques, author of When China Rules the World. Jacques is one of the very few Westerner scholars... Read More
Judging by Israeli statements, the consensus is that Hizbullah will retaliate, but in a way that is different from the way it has responded until now. “After today [the day of the pager simultaneous explosions], there can be no talk about settlement and solutionsâ€, writes Ibrahim Amine, Editor of Al-Akhbar, known for his close contacts...

Andrei Martyanov has carved for himself a unique, haloed place when it comes to deep critical thinking of all matters of war and peace. In his previous books, in his blog Reminiscence of the Future and in countless podcasts, he has become the go-to source when it comes to the inner workings of the Special... Read More
And Russia is fighting an existential war for the survival of the Motherland – what it has done repeatedly over centuries. First we had action: President Putin – cool, calm, collected – warns that any attack on Russia with long-range NATO missiles will be an act of war. Then we had reaction: NATO rats scurrying...

The war is lost, and the struggle to keep the ‘enforced pretending’ going is breaking through, to be seen by all as a false reality. Israel is entering the next phase of its war on Palestine by completing its takeover of the Gaza Strip – from the northern border to the Netzarim corridor. It is... Read More
The first meeting of security experts/National Security Advisors under the expanded BRICS+ format at the Konstantinovsky Palace in St. Petersburg unveiled quite a few nuggets. Let’s start with China. Foreign Minister Wang Yi proposed four BRICS-centric security initiatives. Essentially, BRICS+ – and beyond, considering further expansion – should aim at peaceful coexistence; independence; autonomy; and... Read More
War has broken out. There is no need for further pretence about it. In the Washington Post on Monday, the headlines read: Musk and Durov are facing the revenge of the regulators. Former U.S. Labor Secretary, Robert Reich, in the British Guardian newspaper, published a piece on how to ‘rein-in’ Elon Musk, suggesting that “regulators... Read More
From Trump to Crash Test Dummy, Hegemon’s “policies†have managed quite a feat. It must have taken eons of Taoist patience for President Xi Jinping to tell a few self-evident facts of life to a mediocre imperial functionary such as U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan. Xi’s key takeways: “China is ready to be a... Read More
America is trapped by its ‘ironclad’, unqualified military support for Israel – which offers Netanyahu ample room for manoeuvre. “The successful thwarting of Hizbullah’s attack on Sunday, symbolized Israel’s intelligence and operational edgeâ€: According to the IDF spokesman, the Hezbollah attack was thwarted for the most part – thanks to 100 Israel aircraft carrying out...

German equipment visible in Kursk has raised old ghosts, and consolidated awareness of the hostile western intentions toward Russia. “Never again†is the unspoken riposte. War propaganda and feint are as old as the hills. Nothing new. But what is new is that infowar is no longer the adjunct to wider war objectives – but... Read More
Israelis have been deeply divided these last years, unable to coalesce around a government. After five general elections, they decided to dismiss the Lapid/Gantz team and to put a new coalition – formed around Netanyahu and small Jewish supremacist parties – into power. However, soon after the formation of the new government, there occurred an... Read More
An extremely serious debate is already raging among selected circles of power/intelligence in Moscow – and the heart of the matter could not be more incandescent. To cut to the chase: what really happened in Kursk? Was the Russian Ministry of Defense caught napping? Or did they see it coming and profited to set up... Read More
Netanyahu did not appreciate Iran’s moderation. He doubled-down on war, making it inevitable, sooner or later. Walter Kirn, an American novelist and cultural critic, in his 2009 memoir, Lost in the Meritocracy, described how, after a sojourn at Oxford, he came to be a member of ‘the class that runs things’ – the one that...

Both the Axis of Resistance and Christian Orthodox Russia need to step up the game. Radically. Exhibit A The stunning confirmation came directly from Russian Deputy FM Ryabkov, during a quite revealing interview on Rossiya TV. Ryabkov, extremely competent, is also the leading Russian sherpa for BRICS+, preparing the summit next October in Kazan. Essentially,... Read More
The signposts are there for all to read: The West – in deliberately overlooking such explicit markers – cannot then complain, or escape, the ensuing consequences. No, the ‘tin ear’ is not some new western derangement – a unique mass collapse of sanity – that we are living through. It is something worse: a return... Read More
U.S. foreign policy strategies are not widely discussed publicly, and are viewed by the ruling-strata as vital and being of the essence. Extraordinary Times: Biden renounces his election bid via in the slimmest of Sunday afternoon postings; retreats into a silence which finally is broken by a ‘long farewell’ pronounced from the Oval Office. Biden’s... Read More
The 21st century is shaping up to be the Asian, Eurasian, Chinese century. The four-day, twice-a-decade plenum of the Communist Party of China that took place last week in Beijing, designing an economic road map all the way to 2029, was a stunning affair in more ways than one. Let’s start with continuity – and... Read More
If the Deep State cannot influence the outcome of the November elections, they can find Six Ways from Sunday to cancel it. The Iwo Jima 2.0 pic, immortalizing the Trump fist surviving an assassination attempt, has taken the world by storm – generating everything from a meme tsunami on China’s Weibo to fresh anime in...

The “new populism†on the left and right, and the collapse of the “centrist†cordon sanitaire Brussels Élites let out their long sigh of relief – the French Right was blocked. Markets complacently shrugged; ‘everything must ‘change’ to remain the same’. The Centre will find a way! Macron successfully had blocked the ‘populist’ Right and... Read More
The outgoing epileptic slab of Norwegian wood posing as NATO Secretary-General put on quite a performance. We are the world. We are the people. We are NATO. And we’re comin’ to get ya – wherever you are, whether you want it or not. Call it the latest pop iteration of the “rules-based international order†–... Read More
Starmer’s actions while CPS chief would, at a distance, seem to be the exact same as what you would expect the CIA to take if they were given the Assange dossier themselves. It’s hard to completely fathom what happened in the UK with the general elections which installed Sir Keir Starmer, a lawyer by training,... Read More
The Big Picture remains: the future of the “rules-based international order†is being decided in the black soil of Novorossiya. Viktor Orban is on a roll. And that has set out a riotous roller coaster. Everyone has been gripped by the extraordinary spectacle of pre-historic specimens wallowing in the Western geopolitical swamp reaching the depths...

We see clearly the collapse of the manipulation that has confined discourse to within the various Washington villages. The Editor at Large for the Wall Street Journal, Gerry Baker, says: ‘We’ve been “gaslit’ and deceived†– for years – “all in the name of ‘democracy’â€. That deceit “collapsed†with the Presidential debate, Thursday’. Baker continues:... Read More
The ruthless, all-powerful U.S. Intel Apparatus will go no holds barred and take no prisoners to punish anyone, anywhere, who dares to expose imperial crimes. The United States Government (USG) – under the “rules-based international order†– has de facto ruled that Julian Assange is guilty of practicing journalism. Edward Snowden had already noted that...
