Oh wow, dead American soldiers immediately after President Trump begins the pullout of Syria. No one could have predicted this. RT: An apparent suicide bombing hit the Kurdish-controlled northern Syrian city of Manbij during a “routine” US-led coalition patrol, killing several US troops and civilians. Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attack. Two members of the US military, as well as a civilian and a contractor, were killed in the attack, while three more US service members were hurt, US Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed on Wednesday. The blast happened near a restaurant and market. Preliminary reports said at least six people were killed and 19 others ...
President Trump’s Losing Strategy: Embracing Brazil and Confronting China

Introduction The US embraces a regime doomed to failure and threatens the world’s most dynamic economy. President Trump has lauded Brazil’s newly elected President Jair Bolsonaro and promises to promote close economic, political, social and cultural ties. In contrast the Trump regime is committed to dismantling China’s growth model, imposing harsh and pervasive sanctions, and promoting the division and fragmentation of greater China. Washington’s choice of allies and enemies is based on a narrow conception of short-term advantage and strategic losses. In this paper we will discuss the reasons why the US-Brazilian relation fits in with Washington’s pursuit for ...
A Century Later, the Versailles Treaty Still Haunts Our World

It was supposed to end World War I and usher in a new era of peace. Instead it nearly broke the West. A century ago, the peace conference convened that drafted the Versailles Treaty. It was a time of hope. World War I, then variously called the Great War, the War to End War, and the War for Democracy, had mercifully ended. The worst conflict in modern history had yielded mass death, destruction, and chaos. Now a new world would be built. Unfortunately, we are still living and suffering in that world. Today’s social engineers are pikers compared to the sanctimonious, hypocritical megalomaniacs who in early 1919 sought to reorder the globe to their fantasies. In doing so, they planted ...
Earth’s Ecosystems Are On A Collision Course With Extinction: Insect Populations Have Declined By Up To 98 Percent In Some Areas Of The World

Scientists are calling it “the insect apocalypse”, and it has extremely serious implications for the future of our planet. All over the globe, insect populations are plummeting dramatically. And since insects are at the very foundation of the global food chain, that is really bad news for all of us. In fact, one expert described what is happening to the global insect population as “hyper-alarming”. If we continue down the path that we are currently on, a bleak, apocalyptic future for our planet is all but assured. When scientist Brad Lister recently returned to the Luquillo rainforest in Puerto Rico, he quickly realized that something was very, very wrong. And once his ...

TEHRAN (FNA)- Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari downplayed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's threats to Iranian military advisors in Syria as "ridiculous", warning Tel Aviv of his country's precision-striking missiles. "We will keep both all our military and revolutionary advisors as well as equipment and weapons that we have in order to train and make the Islamic resistance fighters more powerful and support the oppressed Syrian people," General Jafari said on Wednesday. He, meantime, said that Iran has not deployed any military combat units in Syria. The top General scolded Netanyahu, saying ...

The Rise of China and the Western Inability to Process What is Happening Right in Front of Our Eyes

The Meng Wenzhou kidnapping scandal is the most important story happening right now. Much more important than the government shutdown or some incomprehensible gibberish about a Russian conspiracy. It is being dealt with in the most superficial and nonchalant way imaginable, with no one in the media actually attempting to understand what it means. The latest event in this saga is the Chinese decision to execute a Canadian drug trafficker, which is seen as a massive escalation by the Chinese. It is an escalation, how massive it is is not really clear. I wrote yesterday about Robert Lloyd Schellenberg, who was pulled out of jail and resentenced to death after having been sentenced to 15 ...

John Bolton Is Threatening Iran. Good. History shows that the Islamic Republic backs down when challenged. By RAY TAKEYH January 15, 2019 The latest news to rattle the Washington establishment is that John Bolton, President Donald Trump’s national security adviser, has asked the Pentagon for military options against Iran. The commentariat and the Democrats in exile are aghast, and insist that such bellicosity will only invite belligerence from Iran. Many former Obama administration officials fear that Bolton’s truculence may lead Iran to resume its nuclear program. But the truth is that when dealing with Iran, threats usually work while blandishments only whet the appetite of ...

Beijing is tweaking the rules of the Western order to reflect its revitalized geopolitical and economic power, but some Americans see this as a threat to their way of life Embedded in the now dominant US narrative of “Chinese aggression”, Sinophobes claim that China is not only a threat to the American way of life, but also an existential threat to the American republic. It’s worth noting, of course, that the American way of life has long ceased to be a model to be emulated all across the Global South and that the US walks and talks increasingly like an oligarchy. Underneath it all is a huge divide, in outlook and cultural beliefs, between the two great powers, as some ...

“What are you reading my lord?” — Polonius “Words.” — Hamlet Something has changed in U.S. politics. And it may finally signal something changing for the better. Since the announcement (but no real follow through) to end our military involvement in Syria what passes for our statesmen — John Bolton and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo — have been ignored, mocked or both. Bolton attempted to box Trump in on not leaving Syria while Israel chest-thumped about how they will not yield an inch to Iran. Turkish President Erdogan publicly lambasted him with no response from President Trump. Or anyone else for that matter. When was the last time you heard ...

The second-largest, second-deadliest Ebola outbreak in history has reached 600 confirmed cases in five months, health officials said. Since the outbreak was declared in the Democratic Republic of the Congo on Aug. 1, a total of 649 people have reported symptoms of hemorrhagic fever in the country's northeastern provinces of North Kivu and Ituri. Among those cases, 600 have tested positive for Ebola virus disease, which causes an often-fatal type of hemorrhagic fever, according to Monday night's bulletin from the country's health ministry. The growing outbreak has a case fatality rate of around 61 percent. There have been 396 deaths thus far, including 347 people who died ...

Good evening, I’m still reporting on: Kennedy Asked KGB to Help Defeat Reagan in 1984, 2525 Synopsis: But now comes Professor Paul Kengor, who has actual state documents from the archives of the old communist Soviet Union which proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that a top democrat – Sen.

Syrian President Bashar al Assad has pledged to rebuild with state funding the church-sanctuary of the Armenian martyrs located in the Syrian city of Deir ez-Zor, which was devastated by the jihadists of the Islamic State (Daesh ) in September 2014, Fides News Agency reported January 11, 2019. The intention to revive the shrine dedicated to the victims of the Armenian Genocide from its rubble – refer Armenian sources such as Armenpress, and also channel Ishtar TV – was expressed by the Syrian President during a recent meeting with a delegation of Armenian businessmen visiting Syria, led by George Parseghian, President of the representative committee of Armenian Syrians in ...

Funny thing is, I was in school with a man named Ted Widmer, and I recently read that one Ted Widmer is a “distinguished lecturer” at a New York university and is senior fellow at the “Council for Ethics” in international affairs. The Ted I knew was anything but ethical, and dressed rather strangely, if you know what I mean. Never mind—whether he was a schoolmate or not, Widmer has written a treatise about 1919 and called it “The Year of the Crack-Up.” It’s very good. Basically he says that what took place in 1919 shaped the world for the rest of the century. One hundred years later, his crack-up looks like a tiny fissure to me, a chink, yet in a ...
Refugees Are in the Channel Thanks to the Actions of the West

A black rubber inflatable boat was found abandoned earlier this week on the shingle at Dungeness on the Kent coast. Eight men, reportedly Iranians or Kurds, were later found close to the beach or in the nearby village of Lydd. An Iranian living in south London was later charged with helping the migrants to cross the Channel illegally from France to the UK. Sea crossings by small numbers of asylum seekers are highly publicised because the short but dangerous voyage makes good television. The number of migrants over a period of months is in the low hundreds, but politicians believe that the impact of their arrival is high, as was shown by the home secretary, Sajid Javid, rushing back ...
'Fatbergs' - The Growing Menace Under Britain's Streets

In use since 2013, the term 'fatberg' has become an increasingly heard term that describes a large solid mass found in a sewer which is made up of non-biodegradable solid matter and grease or cooking fat. As Statista's Martin Armstrong notes, the chief culprit usually blamed is the flushing away of wet wipes. When these get caught up on something in the pipes, other substances begin to cling to them and, over time, can grow into huge, drain clogging monsters. One such fatberg was discovered this week in Sidmouth, Devon which is 64 metres (210 feet) long. The weight is not yet known and as such has not made it onto our infographic looking at the biggest of these lurking ...

PressTV... Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Ali Akbar Salehi says the country has broken new ground in the field of nuclear technology and is now taking preliminary steps toward production of 20-percent modern nuclear fuel. Speaking in an exclusive interview with the IRIB News Agency on Sunday, Salehi said the new nuclear fuel produced by domestic specialists will be able to keep all kinds of reactors similar to the Tehran Research Reactor running. “Preliminary steps have been taken to design modern 20-percent fuel and we are on the threshold [of producing it]. This [new] product is different from the previous 20-percent fuel and we can supply fuel to any ...

EU Conservative Uprising Traditional values, hostility towards Muslim migrants and opposition to EU institutions should be the basis of a new axis in Europe between Italy and Poland, said Italian politician Matteo Salvini during a speech in Warsaw. An obstacle to the creation of this alliance may be the pro-Russian position of Salvini. “Because the Franco-German axis has dominated Europe for years, we want a new balance, a new energy … Poland and Italy will be the heroes of this new European spring, this rebirth of real European values,” the Italian deputy prime minister and interior minister said in Warsaw on Wednesday (9 January). He described Italy and Poland as ...
China’s Gulag For Muslims

Reports coming in about China’s new gulag for Muslims seem too awful to believe. But the United Nations and responsible media have revealed that hundreds of thousands of Uighur Muslims from western China – and perhaps as many as one million – have been shut away in a growing chain of prison camps designed to impose ruthless state control over them and crush their culture and religion. Who are these oddly-named people, China’s Uighurs? Their homeland lies on China’s far western region next to independent Kazakhstan and Pakistan. The region, as I’ve seen, is arid, hilly and very remote. The Uighurs are a Turkic people of ancient Muslim culture who have nothing ...

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told reporters on Saturday that the government under Venezuela’s recently re-inaugurated president Nicolas Maduro is “illegitimate”, and that “the United States will work diligently to restore a real democracy to that country.” Pompeo’s remarks, which were echoed by Trump’s National Security Advisor John Bolton, are interesting for a couple of reasons. The first is because Venezuela’s presidential election in May of last year (which incidentally was found to have been perfectly legitimate by the international Council of Electoral Experts of Latin America) was actively and aggressively meddled in by the US and its ...
