Poland’s Plenipotentiary for Polish-Ukrainian Development Cooperation Jadwiga Emilewicz opened Warsaw’s first “Ukraine Reconstruction Service” (URS) office in Lvov on 17 July in an event that attracted scant international media attention outside of those two countries. Publicly financed Polskie Radio reported on the seminar that she held that day under the a...
For Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, religious reform has long been a question of when rather than if. Mr. Bin Salman’s potential embrace of religious, not just social and economic reform, could have far-reaching consequences for the role of religion in Saudi Arabia and religious soft power rivalry in the Muslim world. A recent Washington Institute o...
Within the fortified corridors of politico-industrial power in Washington and in the hallowed bastion of the European Commission in Brussels, the same dark plans are being pushed forward: to alter the genetic code of life so as to make both man and nature patentable, controllable and servile to the cause of the techno-industrial god of insentient progress. T...
A bit over half a century ago, the United States under the Nixon administration sent its then-State Secretary Henry Kissinger to China in order to exploit the infamous Sino-Soviet split that nearly escalated into a full-blown war between Moscow and Beijing. The “cold war” between the two previously closely allied communist powers was a strategic gift to the...
The most common theories being bandied about are that Qin: was the victim of a power struggle within the party; was caught up in a corruption scandal; was much sicker than thought; or was busted for having an affair. In the order that they were shared: reports about Chinese power struggles are usually just baseless Western speculation; he wasn’t in a...
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has wrapped up its two-day summit in Vilnius, Lithuania. While issues of NATO expansion (Turkey’s unexpected about-face which opened the door to increased NATO membership) and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine dominated the headlines, when it came to the one topic with inherent existential consequences – the...
If PiS still orders the armed forces to conventionally intervene in Ukraine after President Putin just tried to deter them from doing so, then there’s a chance that the Belarusian and Wagner forces that are drilling just around 20 miles away from that war-torn country’s border could storm across it to stop their Polish opponents. President Putin devoted ti...
The dominance of the US dollar in the global economy continues to wane quietly but relentlessly as many countries actively seek other currencies. First and foremost, they are the BRICS nations of Russia, China, India, Brazil, and South Africa. Although it appeared to be only a few countries, the total population is over 3.23 billion, accounting for more than...
It’s a little-known fact that Saudi Arabia played an important role in the Indian Freedom Struggle. This country was the only one outside British India to provide support to the Indian revolutionaries during the 150 years of freedom struggle. At the outset of the Second World War, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose planned to send his men for Haj, and under that co...
Recent years have given rise to a great deal of evidence that the current governments of some Western nations have stopped taking into account the fundamental rules of international law and are breaking previously made agreements. Their practices include outright lies and deceit; they do not shy away from passing off black as white and proceed to open acts o...
For as much as the ruling African National Congress might sincerely want to host President Putin and accelerate financial multipolarity processes through close cooperation with Russia via BRICS, the “politically inconvenient” fact is that it ultimately chose to submit to Western pressure and not do so. Building upon this observation and the precedent...
Saudi Arabia has recently gained popularity with many countries wanting to improve their political and financial status, ranging from Tehran and Washington to London, Paris, and Tel Aviv. And they are all inspired by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud’s incredibly effective policy, which is gaining fame and recognition by the day. His policy of ending ...
History is the most interesting subject for many reasons. Not the least of which is the fact it tends to repeat itself. And the fact that some are doomed by ignorance of this is an important lesson for today. Take German tanks, for instance. First, let’s rehash a little history about the steppes of Russia and Eastern Ukraine and unlearned lessons.
From...
Russian generals are similar to the US generals depicted in Catch-22, the jolly novel by Joseph Heller: quarrelling, arrogant, caring more about their position and reputation than about the war. They too make their fighters fly more missions, perhaps leading their careers to greater glory. Fighters get killed, but who cares? They were greedy, too, and...
The Russian and Western secret services observed the degradation of relations between Yevgeny Prigozhin and Sergei Shoigu, the Russian Minister of Defence. Of course, they interpreted it differently and therefore drew different predictions. For Western services, this conflict was encouraged by the master of the Kremlin. It was a way for him to push both sid...
Most people are bewildered by what is a global energy crisis, with prices for oil, gas and coal simultaneously soaring and even forcing closure of major industrial plants such as chemicals or aluminum or steel. The Biden Administration and EU have insisted that all is because of Putin and Russia’s military actions in Ukraine. This is not the case. The energy...
“Though the Muhammadan’s cow-killing is made the pretext for the agitation, it is, in fact, directed against us (the British), who kill far more cows for our army than the Muhammadans.” Queen Victoria wrote the above lines in a letter to the Viceroy Lansdowne in 1893, about the cow-protection movement led by Arya Samaj. Do you believe that the cow protection...
France24, Quartz, and the Wall Street Journal (paywall-free link) report that the EU abandoned its much-ballyhooed transition to electric cars, which was supposed to culminate with a total ban on gasoline cars in 2035. The EU’s reversal allows “the sales of new cars with combustion engines that run on synthetic fuels,” which sounds very environmentally frien...
“Nobody Should Be Surprised By Türkiye Violating The Azovstal Deal” since most observers took it for granted that those fascist militants would probably be released prior to the end of the NATO-Russian proxy war in Ukraine the moment that they were sent to that West Asian country. Nevertheless, this development must have still been deeply disappointing to...
Despite strong resident protests, the US Environmental Protection Agency and Florida agencies have approved controversial release of millions of genetically-modified or “gene edited” killer mosquitoes into the Florida Keyes. At the same time the controversial Presidential Science Adviser nominee of Biden is involved in development of the CRISPR technology be...
Russian-Turkish relations have been on an upswing, some would say unparalleled, since the early 2000s. The latter occurred or may be associated with the change of power in Russia and Turkey, as well as the arrival of two charismatic leaders, Putin and Erdoğan, respectively, and, more importantly, with certain transformations in geo-economic and...
After an intense escalation between the US and China over the former’s persistence in “containing” the rise of the latter, and particularly over US interference with the island province of Taiwan, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken travelled to Beijing [June 18-ed] supposedly to repair tattered US-Chinese relations. As part of the process, Secretary Blin...
“We have generally seen that Indians are proficient in astrology, mathematics, languages, and medicine. They have cures for many chronic diseases. They excel in the art of making sculpture, painting, and building. Not only do they know how to make good swords, Indians also use them adroitly... We have received several books from them on medicine, philosophy,...
The Kakhovka dam was a massive two-mile-long structure that dammed the Dnieper River which bisects Ukraine. It was built by the Soviet Union in 1956 and raised the Dnieper by 16 meters (52 feet), creating the Kakhovka Reservoir. The dam was destroyed on 6 June 2023, resulting in massive flooding downstream on both sides of the river which created a social an...
The sigh of relief in a swath of land stretching from China to Africa’s Atlantic coast was audible when Yevgeny Prigozhin, a Russian oligarch who heads the Wagner Group, a state-funded private military company, called off his mutiny against President Vladimir Putin’s military and security establishment. So were the concerns and unanswered questions the revo...
Trotsky’s close association with Alexander Israel Helphand (aka: Parvus) throughout the revolution of 1905 and beyond is also suspicious and should be considered in the context of a much broader imperial geopolitical strategy. Parvus’ association with the Pan-European Union founded by Count Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi in 1923 is another relevant anomaly t...
Amidst this week’s strange attempt to instigate a military coup from the head of Russia’s Wagner Group [June 24-ed], President Putin took a loud stand calling out the operation as a foreign directed insurgency with parallels drawn from the chaotic revolution of 1917. Just as in 1917, the nation was at war with an enemy on the verge of defeat, and just as...
Just because President Putin averted the large-scale bloodshed that his country’s existential enemies wanted to see and then turned this crisis to the Union State’s advantage doesn’t mean that the whole thing was “maskirovka” like the Alt-Media Community’s “sixth columnists” claim. Those who believe this have fallen for the West’s psy-op into questioning his...
The genesis of the current crisis in Manipur lies in the discovery of Oil and Natural Gas in the southern, tribal regions of the State, over a decade ago. Early estimates suggest that Manipur is sitting on nearly five trillion cubic feet of oil (some sources say eight tcf), worth several trillion dollars. Manipur is also rich in minerals, namely,...
A recent poll of Arab public opinion suggests US credibility has taken a hit, but all is not lost. That is if the United States realizes that Middle Easterners judge the US on glaring inconsistencies in its domestic and foreign policies rather than on its cultural, technological, and economic attributes. The discrepancy between US policies and professed valu...
Can Yevgeny Prigozhin’s attempted “coup” reverse the fate of arms in Ukraine? This was the wish of NATO, which hoped for this uprising and awakened its sleeper agents in Russia. The United Kingdom and the United States wanted to finally bring about the partition of the country that they had been unable to complete in 1991 [1]. The creation of private milita...
