Meinungsfreiheit ist nicht nur das Recht, zu Allem seinen Senf dazu zu geben wie an einer Würstelbude. Es ist das Recht, Behauptungen der Mächtigen in Frage zu stellen, Erklärungen und Fakten einzuklagen und Alternativen einzufordern. Das mag unbequem sein, lästig, nerven, bremsen. Aber es ist der Motor des Fortschritts. Ohne Nörgler, Zweifler und Besserwisser kein Fortschritt. Zweifel ist eine gesellschaftliche Produktivkraft. Seine Diffamierung durch angeblich alternativlose Politik ist Rückschritt in vormoderne Zeiten. Deutschland braucht wieder einen Grundkurs in Debatte und Wiederbelebung der Streitkultur.» (- Roland Tichy, Journalist und Publizist)

Ansar Allah’s Unperceived Advantages Against Saudi Arabia, by Alastair Crooke
Geography, Yemen’s Revolutionary Inheritance, Saudi Internal Factionalism and its Contested Islamic Credentials Are Yemen’s Trump Cards Ansar Allalah [Houthis] enjoys many perhaps unperceived advantages in its conflict against the ‘wealthy', westernised Saudi Kingdom.

Supply-Side Economics Explained, by Paul Craig Roberts
What is Supply-side economics? There are various ways, if speaking to economists, to introduce Supply-side economics. One is that Supply-side economics introduces the second blade of the scissors into macroeconomics that the famous British economist Alfred Marshall introduced into microeconomics. In Marshall’s time, economists argued whether price was determined by the cost of production or...

Saying You Listen to AI Music Is Like Saying You Have An AI Girlfriend, by Caitlin Johnstone
It pisses me off whenever I see someone claiming that “AI music” is about to make normal music obsolete. There is no such thing as “AI music” or “AI art”. AI cannot make music. It cannot create the experience of an artist using skill and intention to transport something from inside them into an audience...

Women with Borderline Personality Disorder Have Helped Shape Our Culture and Our History, by Edward Dutton
There is a common idea that the world is ruled by extremely intelligent male psychopaths. Social status is predicted by intelligence combined with a pro-social personality. But very high status is different. This is a combination of extremely high intelligence and moderately anti-social personality. Low in impulse control, you can think outside the box. Low...

Remember “Trust the Science?” Well, It Wasn’t Science and the Consequence of Trusting It Was Fatal for Many., by Paul Craig Roberts
During the hoax “Covid pandemic” I warned that the “vaccine” was more dangerous and deadly than the virus. A number of independent medical scientists issued the same warning. US Senator Ron Johnson held hearings trying to get the truth out. All was to no avail. The well organized Covid propaganda was too powerful and overwhelmed...

America’s Diesel Surplus Is an Illusion (An Update from Karl Miller), by Larry C. Johnson
On paper, the United States should be the world’s safety valve in this fuel crisis. American refineries make far more diesel than Americans burn. But every one of those barrels is already spoken for. Between rising domestic demand, heavy export commitments and refineries running near their limit, the U.S. is drawing down its own stocks,...

Fires on the Home Front: What Europe’s Defense-Plant Incidents Could Mean for the War in Ukraine, by Larry C. Johnson
Since March 2026, a string of fires and explosions has hit European companies that supply Ukraine’s war effort. Some circulating accounts, including a widely shared video (Borzzikman), have inflated this into a campaign of bombings leveling munitions plants across the continent, including in Romania, France and Britain. The documented record is narrower, but still significant:...

Barrett offers a unique...

All Hell Set to Break Loose by the End of September, by Pepe Escobar
Window of Supreme Risk: September 30 to November 3. West Asia is about to burn. The sociopath President of the United States completely disregarded the Chinese solution to end the Iran drama, presented in person at the White House by President Xi Jinping this past Thursday. Essentially, Xi told Trump that the off-ramp is right...

AI Won't Solve Humanity's Problems Because Our Problems Aren't Caused By Lack of Intelligence, by Caitlin Johnstone
I hate it when people say humanity’s problems will be solved by “artificial superintelligence” as though all we need to fix the cruelty and abusiveness in our world is an AI that is smarter than a human. Mark Zuckerberg voiced this talking point again today in a Twitter thread claiming that “superintelligence will create significant...

SHAMELESS! – Ray McGovern & Prof. Rick Wolff on the WORLD THIS WEEK, by Joe Lauria
Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu this week used the seat of world diplomacy — established to pursue peace — to spread their vile supremacist ideologies. Ray McGovern & Rick Wolff. Watch the replay. Two genocidal maniacs portray themselves as the leading lights of the Middle East and the world from the podium of the United...

Four Days in Ekaterinburg, by Craig Murray
One could read the super-Russophobic Guardian in Russia anytime, with no VPN. That alone is sufficient to destroy the simplistic narrative of “free West vs. authoritarian Russia.” I was surprised a few weeks ago to get an invitation from Yana Lantratova, Russian Federal Commissioner for Human Rights, to deliver a speech on human rights to...

We Invited a Plague Into Our Society, by Ambrose Kane
An estimated 40% of America’s prison population is comprised of blacks despite representing only about 13% of the total U.S. population. From 1970 to 2020, the black prison population increased by 780% which is significantly higher than all other racial groups. For example, black men are six times more likely than white men to be...

The Rise and...Rise of 'Color Revolutions', by Kit Klarenberg
It’s rather forgotten today how Washington’s post-9/11 imperial adventurism was not restricted to military intervention. A core component of the Bush administration’s “Freedom Agenda” - under the auspices of which calamitous wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere were waged - was overt sponsorship of civil society-led coups throughout the former Soviet Union, Warsaw Pact and...

American Pravda: Will AI Exterminate the Human Species?, by Ron Unz
Last week President Donald Trump gave a public address to the United Nations General Assembly, declaring that he might soon "annihilate" Iran, a large country of over 90 million people. The UN has always been a rather stodgy and subdued international organization, normally the venue for diplomatic presentations of remarkable blandness. In its entire history,...

Be Kind to Your Adult Children or They'll Stop Talking to You, by Caitlin Johnstone
The Wall Street Journal has a new article out titled “Why Are So Many Adults Cutting Off Their Parents?” about the rising levels of family estrangement in our society. “Many experts believe that estrangements between adult children and their parents are becoming an epidemic in the U.S., just like divorce in the 1970s,” writes Elizabeth...

The Real Reason Why Trump Invited China’s President Xi to Washington, by Ben Norton
Trump’s summit with President Xi Jinping led to few results, but symbolized how the US lost its trade war. Now top US corporations want to get into the Chinese market. That’s why Trump invited them to his White House dinner. China’s President Xi Jinping was invited to Washington this September, where he attended a three-day...

A Clean Slate, by Michael Hudson
The immediate cause of the looming world depression is clear enough. The U.S. Oil War against Iran has closed off seaborne trade from the Persian Gulf region, reducing the world’s oil-export supply by 20% via the Strait of Hormuz, and another 5% through the Red Sea as a result of the Ansar Allah Yemeni fight...

From Hitler to Putler, by Hans Vogel
Whenever you are faced with a daunting task, it helps to have a plan, a recipe, a scenario at hand. Suppose you want to make a lot of money, eliminate the competition and dispose of anyone you don’t like or consider useless. In short, you want to clear the playing field, to create a tabula...

Moscow Closes the Door: How Putin and Lavrov Hardened Russia’s Line on Ukraine in Ten Days, by Larry C. Johnson
In mid-September, the Kremlin was signaling that negotiations could resume. Putin had said the trilateral talks with the United States and Ukraine would be unlikely before the State Duma elections, but that Russia would be ready to resume contacts after them. The elections ended on September 20. Within a week, both Putin and Lavrov had...
