I am simply going to suggest that you read this piece, fresh from the keyboard of Pepe Escobar... 'Russia's judo kick to the western financial gut' - The Cradle You can also find this on the Saker blog too. It never hurts to have more than one source for views that are off-mainstream these days,... Continue Reading →
Yesterday, When The War Didn’t Begin
Reflections on the title of the excellent teen-novel and movie - 'Tomorrow, When The War Began', we can look back now to yesterday, when the most recently anticipated war, on Europe's eastern borders, failed to show up - causing red faces throughout the halls from which continually emanate issuances of fake western propaganda. That 'no... Continue Reading →
Russia More Interested in Syria Than Ukraine Right Now
Turning now from a situation which holds everybody's attention just now - Ukraine - scene of yet another hasty US and western withdrawal (they like it better in Lvov (Lviv) than Kiev - it's as far west and close to an EU border you can get and still be in Ukraine), to something of greater...

No, I thought not, although a little anger would... Continue Reading →

They still believe their puny encirclement and containment strategies, which have served them in the past on the nefarious adventures in which they have engaged, can still provide the same results as they usually did in...

I Am Ashamed To Be A Westerner
Someone had to write this article I share below. It just happened to be Andre Vitchek, perhaps none more appropriate to the task - although a great many would qualify for it. I am not among them. I have spent my whole life a privileged Westerner. "Can China and Russia Survive in this Unharmonious World?"... Continue Reading →
Thoughts on Crack-ups
I can share this. It is Jim Kunstler's latest blog (which I have been boycotting for a while - not that I suspect anyone would have noticed). But this one is good and gave me a few good laughs. America is cracking up. What, you didn't know? Where have you been? I should, for my... Continue Reading →
Being on the Right Side of History …and Other Imponderables
I have only two things which I consider important (to me) to say today ...but for me the day is not yet old. The first is that I find myself opposing everything the West says or does these days. That is not so surprising when you think about it since everything the West does today... Continue Reading →
Not Something Else
