This is pretty good. Carlson is hit and miss, but when he’s right, he’s right. I’m thinking I’d like to see Tucker Carlson enter the GOP primaries and win, and then pick Tulsi as his running mate. Obviously, there are limitations to both, and to electoralism generally, but […]
Here’s the recording of a phone call featuring Victoria Nuland, Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs (whose boss was Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton) in a phone call to US Ambassador to Ukraine, Geoffrey Pyatt; a phone call leaked to the news media on 4 […]
By Peter R. Quiñones At a time such as this one, no one wants to make it all about them and that’s not what I’m trying to do. But we ARE under attack. I will speak from my heart and hopefully some of this will resonate with you. […]
By Caitlin Johnstone We’re risking a very fast, very radioactive third world war defending the “democracy” of a regime who just banned eleven opposition parties. Liberals explaining why it’s fine to eliminate opposition parties when they become inconvenient is just liberals telling you who they really are. One […]

By Ogul Tuna The Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington Azerbaijan’s biggest trade partners in the region, the UAE and Saudi Arabia, have shared economic interests in establishing new trade links, but they also share common threat perceptions regarding Iran and radicalism.

By Nolan Hicks New York Post A “bureaucratic nightmare” has left 2,500 city-funded apartments for homeless New Yorkers who need mental health care and other social services open — enough units to house every person living on the streets or in the subways, The Post has learned. This […]
By Max Blumenthal, The Gray Zone Testimony by evacuated Mariupol residents and warnings of a false flag attack undermine the Ukrainian government’s claims about a Russian bombing of a local theater sheltering civilians.

I think the disconnect here is that Armin the Mujahideen WAS a policy success, it was the most successful policy ever done by the military-industrial complex. Not only did they make massive profits, but the eventual attack on 9/11 has guaranteed massive profits forever. Dead people and human […]

Krystal and Saagar go through the tone shift from China on the Russian invasion of Ukraine as the CCP now blames NATO and is looking to strengthen its ties to Russia
It makes sense for Putin to cash out now rather than wait and let NATO become more entrenched in Ukraine. I mean from a strategic standpoint this was also a very fragile time with a delicate global recovery which may factor into it also. These are not the […]

Krystal and Saagar cover the military developments in Ukraine as the Russians advance and the media pushes a false narrative of a stalemate taking place with the Ukrainians

Proto Protestant https://www.thedefensepost.com/2022/03/09/lockheed-military-manufacturing-saudi/ Biden and others in the American Establishment have sought to cast the new Cold War in terms of the Liberal Democracies versus the Authoritarian States. This claim is as farcical as the Capitalist Free World versus the Communist Bloc of the first Cold War. The […]
By Jacob Sullum, Reason A new report emphasizes that the U.S. would still have a very high incarceration rate even if all drug war prisoners were released. The number of people in U.S. jails and prisons fell substantially in 2020: by 25 percent and 15 percent, respectively. But […]
