If Turkey is not bluffing, U.S. troops in Manbij, Syria, could be under fire by week’s end, and NATO engulfed in the worst crisis in its history. Turkish President Erdogan said Friday his troops will cleanse Manbij of Kurdish fighters, alongside whom US troops are embedded. Erdogan’s foreign minister demanded concrete steps by the US to end its support of the Kurds, who control the Syrian border with Turkey east of the Euphrates, all the way to Iraq. If the Turks attack Manbij, the US will face a choice: Stand by our Kurdish allies and resist the Turks, or abandon the Kurds. Should the US let the Turks drive the Kurds out of Manbij and the entire Syrian border area with ...

On Monday morning we reported that a number of traders - currently or formerly employed by UBS, HSBC and Deutsche Bank (as usual, no JPMorgan US banks were touched) - would be perp-walked and charged in an unprecedented cross-agency crackdown between the CFTC, DOJ and FBI seeking to punish spoofers of futures. This was confirmed moments ago by a CFTC press release which announced criminal and civil enforcement actions against three banks and six individuals involved in commodities fraud and spoofing schemes. Here is what got far less publicity: it wasn't just any futures that were spoofed - all the banks and traders busted were charged for spoofing the precious metals market, i.e. gold ...

An agriculture boom is now in the making, says legendary investor Jim Rogers. The billionaire commodity guru recently shared his outlook for the industry with The Edge Financial Daily at the 2018 Investment and International Trade Forum over the weekend. It’s bleak for famers, but great for investors who get in early. That’s because Jim Rogers sees two catalysts on the horizon for the agricultural industry… The Two Reasons Jim Rogers Is Investing in Agriculture “No one wants to be a farmer anymore, as compared to the past, when farmers were like masters of the universe for a long period of time,” said Rogers. “The agriculture sector has been a disaster ...

Oh, and let’s get the US out, too The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was founded in 1949, over the objections of conservatives like Sen. Robert A. Taft, as a supposed bulwark of “democracy” against the allegedly rising tide of totalitarianism, which the American people were told was about ready to cross the stormy Atlantic and land on our shores. Bolsheviks in Brooklyn! Well, we have them there today, but they’re the homegrown variety: the old-fashioned Soviet types are long gone: another fake “threat” that enriched the panic-mongers and robbed the rest of us. In voting against the NATO treaty, Republican leader Sen. Taft foresaw with ...

Poster Comment:Al Nusra in 2014 received 400 Toyota pickup trucks built to US Special Forces from Kerry and Obama. They immediately gave these trucks to ISIS which used them to invade Iraq and capture the area around Mosul. Obama refused to bomb the invading ISIS convoy. he also refused to deliver the planes the Iraqis had paid for. Mosul fell to ISIS and became the basis of a push to divide Iraq into 2 parts which had been a goal of Israel at least since 1982 when Oded Yinon wrote about a plan which was later adopted by PNAC.

The Trump administration has drawn Turkey deeper into the Syrian conflict by announcing a policy that threatens Turkey’s national security. Washington’s gaffe has pitted one NATO ally against the other while undermining hopes for a speedy end to the seven year-long war. Here’s what’s going on: On January 18, US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson announced the creation of a 30,000-man Border Security Force (BSF) to occupy East Syria. Two days later, January 20, the Turkish Army launched a ground and air offensive against Kurdish troops in the Afrin canton in Northwest Syria. The media has tried to downplay the connection between the two events, but the cause-and-effect ...

While you have probably already forgotten the feast, Russia is only now slowly coming back to life after its overlong Christmas break completed on January 14 by the quaintly named Old New Year, or even perhaps by the Epiphany on January 19. Everybody went somewhere, even candidates for the presidential race coming in on March 18: the Communist one went to ski in Austria, while the right-winger went to Bali. On the eve of Epiphany, they dipped in the ice-cold waters: the ultimate trial of Russian fitness. Not only he-man Putin, but even she-woman Sobchak did it! And now, at last, as the feasts are over, the real trial begins. The US is preparing a new round of sanctions, including seizure ...

Nationalism means peace on the Korean peninsula We are told by practically everyone that nationalism is an archaic, aggressive, and downright evil sentiment, one that causes wars, racism, bigotry, and probably the common cold as well. And we get this from both the right and the left. Nationalism of any kind, we are told, is a dangerous atavism, a throwback to primitive “tribalism” and an insult to sacred “modernity.” While this nonsensical view is pretty widespread throughout the Western world, it is especially dominant – at least among the political class – here in the United States, where it is routinely alleged that America isn’t a place, it ...

The United States - along with the U.K and 42 other countries - has opted out of a standardized test designed, in part, to assess whether children can spot "biases" in news reports, the international Organisation for Economic Cooperation & Development confirms to ABC News. The "global competence test," developed by OECD for 15-year-old students worldwide, aims to measure a student's ability to identify "biases and gaps in information," according to documents posted by the organization's committee on student assessment. A test handbook includes a sample question about a misleading article on global warming. The hypothetical article, which presents ...

New evidence suggests Stone Age hunters from Europe discovered America The Stone Age Europeans believed to have migrated to North America along the edge of the then frozen northern Atlantic would have had to adopt a lifestyle similar to that of traditional Eskimos depicted here in this 19thcentury print New archaeological evidence suggests that America was first discovered by Stone Age people from Europe – 10,000 years before the Siberian-originating ancestors of the American Indians set foot in the New World. A remarkable series of several dozen European-style stone tools, dating back between 19,000 and 26,000 years, have been discovered at six locations along the US east coast. ...
