So the War on Populism is finally over. Go ahead, take a wild guess who won. I’ll give you a hint. It wasn’t the Russians, or the white supremacists, or the gilets jaunes, or Jeremy Corbyn’s Nazi Death Cult, or the misogynist Bernie Bros, or the MAGA-hat terrorists, or any of the other real or fictional “populist” forces that global capitalism has been waging war on for the last four years. What? You weren’t aware that global capitalism was fighting a War on Populism? That’s OK, most other folks weren’t. It wasn’t officially announced or anything. It was launched in the summer of 2016, just as the War on Terror was ending, as a sequel to the ...
All Roads Lead to Dark Winter (Part 1)

The leaders of two controversial pandemic simulations that took place just months before the Coronavirus crisis – Event 201 and Crimson Contagion – share a common history, the 2001 biowarfare simulation Dark Winter. Dark Winter not only predicted the 2001 anthrax attacks, but some of its participants had clear foreknowledge of those attacks. During the presidency of George H.W. Bush in the early 1990s, something disturbing unfolded at the U.S.’ top biological warfare research facility at Fort Detrick, Maryland. Specimens of highly contagious and deadly pathogens – anthrax and ebola among them – had disappeared from the lab, at a time when lab workers and rival ...
‘Collateral Murder’ 10 Years Later: Who Among You Forgets?

It was the hope of traumatized veterans that we would learn from the Wikileaks video, but sadly the lessons seem lost. Ten years ago this week—April 5, 2010 in fact—Wikileaks published a 2007 video that depicts three consecutive strikes by two American Apache helicopters tearing into a group of people on the ground in Baghdad, Iraq. When the smoke cleared there were at least 12 people dead, including two Reuters journalists. Others were wounded, including two children who had been riding in a minivan that had pulled up to assist the victims. It is probably one of the eeriest visual depictions of U.S. empire in the 21st Century (aside from Lynndie England holding that leash): an ...

This is the dumbest partisan blame game ever. They all went along with shutting down the entire country. This necessarily was going to pop the “everything bubble.” Anything after that is just deck chairs on the Titanic. Fox News: House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., told “Hannity” Friday that fewer American workers likely would have been affected by economic restrictions imposed in response to the coronavirus pandemic had Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., not held up the passage of last week’s coronavirus aid bill. “I wondered when I saw … this week that six million more Americans lost their jobs, ‘How many of them could have kept ...
US Position in Iraq and Syria Continues to Deteriorate, It Will Eventually be Forced Out of Both Countries

The situation in northern Syria and Iraq has developed pretty much as expected. So far, the Turks have been unable to re-take full control of the M4 highway. As a result of that failure, the joint Russian-Turkish patrols have not been able to move along the full length of the highway as spelled out in the agreement between Russia and Turkey. Clearly, Turkey lacks either the will, or the capability, or both, to remove the Takfiri forces from the M4 highway. So far, the Russians and Syrians have very kindly agreed to wait a little longer, but the recent visit of Russian Defense Minister Shoigu to Damascus clearly shows that big decisions are being worked on: As for Iraq, the various Shia ...
Kurt Russell Drops Massive Truth Bomb About Gun Control

Kurt Russell Drops Massive Truth Bomb About Gun Control 'If you think gun control is going to change the terrorists’ point of view, I think you’re, like, out of your mind.' December 11, 2015 By The Federalist Staff In a recent interview for Hollywood Elsewhere, Kurt Russell shut down a reporter’s argument in favor of gun control. The conversation started out civil enough, focusing on Russell’s performance in the upcoming Quentin Tarantino film “The Hateful Eight,” but things took a turn when reporter Jeffery Wells described guns as a “metaphor that disenfranchised white guys need… [to] feel good about themselves.” “If you think ...

This presentation prompted me to think about SARS and MERS, which appeared in China in 2003 and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 2011, respectively. While the US military budget is many multiples of the rest of the world, it has seemed puzzling to me that a huge population like China, or KSA's wealth and oil leverage, would give so much ground to the US, especially on the dollar as world currency. Why has it remained so strong for so long after it was clear that it was literally counterfeit? Then it occurred to me that the US military isn't just high tech ordnance, aircraft, and commandos; it is bioweapons too. It is very possible that SARS and MERS were warnings to keep China and ...

Damian Wilsonis a UK journalist, ex-Fleet Street editor, financial industry consultant and political communications special advisor in the UK and EU. The graphic footage, filmed by body cameras worn by the elite troops and broadcast on national television, must lead to the soldiers being tried for murder. Australians always look forward to celebrating Anzac Day, but this year it will be different because a pall of shame has fallen over our armed forces thanks to a jaw-dropping TV expose aired this week that showed elite Aussie soldiers murdering Afghan civilians in cold blood when they were supposed to be protecting them from the Taliban.

Team Trump Failed to Bully ICC Into Dropping War Crimes Probe

Now that U.S. officials will be investigated for war crimes, the international court can expect escalating threats and retaliation by the White House, says Marjorie Cohn. After the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) found a reasonable basis to believe that U.S. military and CIA leaders committed war crimes and crimes against humanity in Afghanistan, Team Trump threatened to ban ICC judges and prosecutors from the U.S. and warned it would impose economic sanctions on the Court if it launched an investigation. Apparently succumbing to the U.S. threats, in April 2019, the ICC’s Pretrial Chamber refused to authorize the investigation that prosecutor Fatou Bensouda had ...
US Breaks the Agreement It Just Signed with The Taliban

Today a U.S. fighter jet bombed a Taliban unit which was fighting with an Afghan government checkpoint. The air attack came just a day after U.S. President Trump had a telephone call with the Taliban leaders in Doha. The Taliban will likely see this as a breach of the recent ceasefire agreement between the U.S. and the Taliban. The Russian Presidential Envoy for Afghanistan Zamir Kabulov supports that view: "This is a treaty violation, because both the US and the Taliban entered into legally binding commitments not to attack. The Taliban did not attack the Americans or other foreign forces. If the US did that, they violated the agreement blatantly," the diplomat pointed out. ...

His lessons from Vietnam could teach us a lot about the havoc we've wreaked in the Middle East. Eugene Genovese (1930-2012) was an accomplished and influential historian of the United States whose professional and personal trajectory carried him from the radical Left to a distinctive form of conservatism. As a young man, he was a card-carrying communist. He ended up a devout Roman Catholic. His contributions to scholarship were legion and his impact on our understanding of slavery and on Southern slaveholders massive. Genovese did not place a premium on getting along with others. Instinctively combative, he was a cantankerous colleague who never hesitated to say what he believed. ...

The murder of the Iranian hero-martyr General Soleimani created a situation in which a war between Iran and the Axis of Kindness (USA/Israel/KSA) became a real possibility but, at the very last minute, Uncle Shmuel decided that he had no stomach for a full-scale war against Iran. Wise decision. This, however, does not at all imply that the AngloZionist Empire decided to stand by idly, far from it. The need to take quick and determined action became particularly acute following the huge anti-US demonstrations in Iraq (well over one million people in the streets!) which directly put at risk the US occupation (the MSM would call it “presence”) in both Iraq and Syria. At the same ...

Unlocking the Puzzle of China’s Neutron Bomb Why did China develop a neutron bomb that it never deployed? by Jonathan Ray January 27, 2015 Why does China develop weapons systems that it opposes? China criticizes U.S. ballistic missile defense (BMD) systems, but conducted three BMD tests of its own from 2010 to 2014. China regularly supports a treaty to ban space weapons, but has repeatedly tested an anti-satellite (ASAT) system. It is also unclear how China’s nascent hypersonic glide vehicle (HGV), reportedly designated the WU-14, might fit into its military doctrine. In general, China’s rapid military modernization and opaque defense budget only exacerbate concerns over ...

But according to the British government, he’s a terrorist. The Guardian: Paul Golding, the leader of the fringe far-right group Britain First, has been charged with an offence under the Terrorism Act after refusing to give police access to his phone. He was stopped at Heathrow airport in October while returning from a trip to the Russian parliament in Moscow by officers from the Metropolitan police’s counter-terrorism command. He refused to give the Pin codes for a number ...

U.S. Reaches Agreement With Taliban Leading To Possible Troop Withdrawal From Afghanistan February 17, 2020 9:35 am The United States reached an agreement with the Taliban in Afghanistan that U.S. officials said will likely be implemented “very soon” and could lead to American forces leaving the war-torn country. According to the Washington Free Beacon, senior officials in the Trump administration told reporters on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference Friday that the truce between the two groups will feature a dramatic reduction in violence for at least seven days while Taliban leaders negotiate with U.S. officials, potentially leading to a massive troop withdrawal. ...

There's a reason, Tim Bakken says, why the U.S. hasn't won a war in 75 years. What do you call a civilian law professor who, after successfully filing for federal whistleblower status to keep his job teaching at West Point Military Academy, proceeds to write a bombshell book about the systematic corruption, violence, fraud, and anti-intellectualism he says has been rampant at the historic institution for over a hundred years? Well, if you are part of the military leadership or an alumnus of the storied military academy, you may call him a traitor. But if you are anyone searching for reasons why the most powerful military in the world has not won a war in 75 years, you might ...
Turkey Risks War With Syria, Russia as Erdogan Threatens More Attacks

Erdogan says he'll take military action 'everywhere in Syria' Turkey committed heavily to keeping the Idlib Province out of the control of the Syrian government. This was meant to be a staging area for Turkish-backed rebels, but with al-Qaeda having seized much of the province months ago, it’s pretty much a Syria vs. al-Qaeda battle now for these towns. Turkey has doubled down though, insisting Syria will not be allowed to have Idlib, and risking direct war with both Syria and Russia to make it happen. President Erdogan in particular is threatening military action “everywhere in Syria,” and has given Syria until the end of the month to retreat from Idlib. In ...

Turkey reported hitting 115 targets in Syria, all government sites. The Turkish Defense Ministry added that 101 Syrian soldiers were killed. In addition to killing the soldiers, Turkey hit a Syrian government helicopter, destroyed three tanks and two artillery pieces. They also reportedly hit some air defenses in the area. Turkey ...
U. S. Lies and Deaths in Afghanistan

Last December the Washington Post published secret Pentagon documents showing the official lies that have undergirded the U.S. war on Afghanistan for the past 18 years. The opening paragraph of the article puts the matter bluntly: “A confidential trove of government documents obtained by The Washington Post reveals that senior U.S. officials failed to tell the truth about the war in Afghanistan throughout the 18-year campaign, making rosy pronouncements they knew to be false and hiding unmistakable evidence the war had become unwinnable.” I can’t help but wonder whether Sgt. First Class Javier Gutierrez, of San Antonio, Texas, and Sgt. First Class Rey Rodriguez of Las ...

It also claimed that D’Andrea, chief of the CIA’s special Iran task force, which goes by the name Iran Mission ...

A former Air Force drone operator-turned-whistleblower is once again speaking out against the atrocities he committed while serving in a military he describes as "worse than the Nazis." Brandon Bryant was a sensor operator of USAF unmanned aerial drones from 2006 to 2011. His job was targeted killing – remotely firing missiles at targets 7,000 miles (11,000 km) away from an air-conditioned command center near Las Vegas, Nevada. During his Air Force tenure, Bryant says his squadron engaged 1,626 targets, including women and children. He estimates that he is personally responsible for the deaths of 13 people. Bryant told Britain’s Independent that he reached his ...
