The Young Turks come to the defense of the Pentagon. As is often said, “You can’t make this shit up.” Although, contra Tucker Carlson, I prefer that the Pentagon “lower standards” as much as possible so that the “New New Model Army” is incapable of suppressing rebellions. What […]

As I’ve said before, we’re moving back to the 19th century’s world of unprecedented technological advancement, massive socioeconomic disparities, and multi-order geopolitics. Three new trans-Mediterranean corridors are emerging that will glue #Europe and #Africa. However, the routes will traverse North Africa’s gatekeepers.
By William S. Lind, The American Conservative President Joe Biden was working late in his private office in the White House. At the end of the day his chief of staff had handed him a somewhat unfortunate report from the Justice Department. It seemed Hunter recently sold the […]

Is Russia Fascist? (Cornell University Press), author Marlene Laruelle argues that the charge of “fascism” has become a strategic narrative of the current world order. Vladimir Putin’s regime has increasingly been accused of embracing fascism, supposedly evidenced by Russia’s annexation of Crimea, its historical revisionism, attacks on liberal […]

I’m glad to see Tulsi calling out the Biden-imperialists even if she foolishly endorsed him in the election. I’m glad that some of my former colleagues in Congress are speaking out against the recent unconstitutional airstrikes in Syria – but they’re ignoring the bigger issue: the regime change […]
“The Russians are coming!”
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley Sometimes I have this dream. A terrible dream. A dream about a war. It begins like any other war, with a big country attacking a weaker one. An empire chases an army of starving ghosts into a deep […]
I attempted to map every US Military base, and it was not easy.
China is way overrated.
SANAA (Reuters) – The Saudi-led military coalition battling Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi movement said on Sunday it conducted air strikes on Houthi military targets in Sanaa and other regions after the group launched armed drones towards Saudi Arabia. The coalition, which said it had destroyed 10 armed drones, said […]
This is an overview of the plans for the conquest of the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia developed by the neocons in the 1990s, and put into practice during the Bush, Obama, Trump, and now Biden regimes. Of course, what I find amazing is that so […]
Back in the 1990s, the neocons and Reaganites associated with groups like the Project for a New American Century, created a plan that called for the destruction of every nation in the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia that was capable of presenting a challenge to US […]
MSNBC host, Ayman Mohyeldin, discusses Joe Biden’s sanctions on several Saudi officials with ties to the Crown Prince instead of on MBS himself.

Middle East Eye The Biden administration imposed sanctions on two Houthi commanders on Tuesday, accusing the Yemeni rebels of prolonging the conflict and carrying attacks against civilians and neighbouring countries “to advance the Iranian regime’s destabilizing agenda”.

By Don Fitz March 2, 2021 was the five year anniversary of the murder of Berta Cáceres, who opposed the Agua Zarca dam in Honduras. That date was less than one month after the deaths of dozens of people from Tehri Dam disaster in Uttarakhand, India. The two […]
Kyle is right that Trump’s non-interventionist rhetoric is largely fraudulent. However, it is interesting that this kind of rhetoric is now popular among “conservatives.” Not exactly the conservatism I grew up with.
The Third Reich also insisted the invasion of Poland was in self-defense. Stalin made similar claims about the invasion of Finland.
The C4SS weenies get it half right, except they just can’t get past their Tower of Babel universalism. “Well, yeah, devolution is good but only if all 1600 polities have a liberal government and become part of a world government someday.” When will anarchists realize that anarchism and […]
“Hey, Saudis, that’s a might nice embassy you’ve got there. It would be a shame if…” By Daniel Larison, The American Conservative Bruce Riedel calls for the U.S. to pressure the Saudi coalition to end their blockade of Yemen: For the war to end, the Biden administration will […]
“Left foreign policy”: Brown nose neoliberals to the point of eventually drifting into neoconservatism. The Stalinist Left and paleoconservative, Rothbardian libertarian, and (select) Alt-Right sectors are usually pretty good on foreign policy. Virtually everyone else sucks. Three cheers for the mythical Red-Brown alliance! May all of Alexander Reid-Ross’s […]
Author and professor at Georgetown University, Trita Parsi, discusses Biden-ordered airstrikes in Syria.
Excellent. A fragmented world is our only hope for resisting global technocratic totalitarianism and creating the breathing room needed for the proliferation of the startup societies that will replace the statocratic systems that are currently dominant.

I’m pretty sure this is called “scientific racism,” ethnocentrism, xenophobia, etc. in other contexts. “The Protocols of the Learned Elders of the Kremlim” by James Clapper. Keep in mind Clapper was one of the folks who helped the neocons perpetrate the “Iraq WMD” fraud (see here). By Danielle […]
By Barbara Boland, The American Conservative Why would the ambassador of a country with just 1.5 million citizens feel able to shout at a member of the U.S. Congress? “Because for decades, we have pursued a foreign policy that put their interests ahead of our own,” wrote Trita […]
The European Union’s top foreign policy official has called for a concerted effort to use what he has referred to as a “diplomatic window of opportunity” in order to revive a 2015 nuclear agreement signed between Iran and major world powers. “This is an occasion that we cannot […]
By George Petras, Karina Zaiets and Veronica Bravo | USA TODAY Nearly 20 months after the Sept. 11 attacks, President George W.

The only real function of elections is to decide which pro-wrestling promotion will get to staff the political wing of the military-industrial-complex for the next four years. Will it be WWE or WCW this time?
By David E. Sanger, New York The decision will disappoint the human rights community and members of his own party who complained during the Trump administration that the U.S. was failing to hold Mohammed bin Salman accountable. WASHINGTON — President Biden has decided that the diplomatic cost of […]

Some QAnon type needs to primary this bitch.
Bill Kristol, the neocons’ heir to the throne, has called for the neocons to align themselves with Bidenism. Geez, I wonder why. President Biden ordered air strikes against an Iranian-backed militia group in eastern Syria after the group fired rockets at U.S. troops. NBC News’ Kristen Welker reports.
Imagine that. President and founder of The Center for the Studies of Partisanship and Ideology, Richard Hanania, explains where we are in the process of withdrawing US troops from Afghanistan.

It describes a range of autonomous movements, summarizes their political-economic ideas, and discusses some common social critiques raised in regard to local autonomy. Apologists for the costly […]
Anti-imperialism is a means of attacking concentrated power generally, breaking up empires, and attacking the largest states, which are usually the worst states in terms of their overall level of predation. The proliferation of more countries is a stepping stone toward abolishing states generally. However, is that sometimes […]
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley Is it just me or has Black History Month become kind of a gross corporate circus lately? Just another banal commercial grab bag of Hallmark moments to peddle the superiority of the American experience. I feel like shit […]
Libya and Syria were the Obama administration’s version of Afghanistan and Iraq. Obama, Hillary, and Samantha Power were Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld of the Democrats. The “lesser evilism” of Noam Chomsky, Kevin Carson, most progressives, most left-anarchists, etc. is bullshit. France 24 Libyans on Wednesday marked the 10th […]
The Biden regime will likely be more neoconnish than the Obama or Trump administrations were given the neocon recolonization of the Democratic Party.
But how can that be? Cancel culture doesn’t exist!

He’s not “missing” it. He’s just ignoring it. Author and Georgetown professor, Dr. Trita Parsi, details the current tension between the US and Iran over sanctions.
It seems that right now things could be considered better for the “libertarian-left” than at any point in the past, at least in US history. By “libertarian-left,” I mean that umbrella of philosophies with a generally anti-authoritarian ethos but which also do not deify corporate tycoons as Nietzschean […]
