«Und während Sie über Ungarn mal dies hören und mal das, sollten Sie besser schleunigst nach Brüssel sehen, wo von der Leyen das Projekt der Zweckentfremdung der EU, der Vergewaltigung der europäischen Verträge und der finalen Entmachtung der Nationalstaaten vorantreibt, als gäb’s kein Morgen. Ein Projekt, das nie etwas anderes als Ihre eigene Entmachtung, werter Bürger, war, die unter dieser Kommissionspräsidentin natürlich verlässlich aufs Hässlichste verschleiert ist.» (– Martin Sonneborn)

Trump the God, by Chris Hedges
Trump’s portrayal of himself as Jesus, or anointed by Jesus, is typical of cult leaders. During the two years I spent writing “American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War on America,” I encountered numerous mini-Trumps. These self-proclaimed pastors — very few had any formal religious training — preyed on the despair of their congregants....

Is There a Way Out of the Iran War? (w/ John Mearsheimer), by Chris Hedges
As ceasefire talks hang by a thread, rising tensions over the Strait of Hormuz reveal a stark reality: escalation could trigger a global economic catastrophe—and the United States may have far less control than it claims.

War on Iran Reshapes the 'War of Connectivity Corridors', by Pepe Escobar
The war of choice on Iran by the US is not only redefining geopolitics but also interfering with, destabilizing, and reorienting what The Cradle described in June 2022 as The War of Economic Connectivity Corridors; arguably the key geoeconomic paradigm of Eurasian integration in the 21st century. From east to west and north to south,...

Are Insiders Trading on Trump’s Announcements?, by Paul Craig Roberts
Someone is making money on Trump’s announcements. Moon of Alabama reports that 20 minutes before Trump’s announcement that the Strait of Hormuz was open, 7,990 Brent crude futures were sold, a bet that the oil price would fall that resulted in huge gains. Was this insider trading? Who knew Trump’s announcement before he made it?...

California gubernatorial candidate Tom Steyer launched a direct assault on the most powerful pro-Israel lobby in American politics, declaring that “AIPAC is a dark money organization that should have no place in our politics.” In a subsequent press conference, he added that “AIPAC is cheering on Trump and Netanyahu’s war” and argued that “we do...

Does Iran Comprehend Who Iran Is Negotiating with and About What?, by Paul Craig Roberts
Iran thinks Iran is negotiating with Trump about restrictions being imposed on Iran’s rights under the non-proliferation treaty. Iran is totally incorrect. This is a proxy issue. Iran’s real issue is with Israel, and it is about Iran’s right to exist. The Zionist agenda of Greater Israel, the foreign policy of the Netanyahu Israeli Government,...

Will Donald Trump's Iran War Crash the Global Economy?, by Ron Unz
Throughout most of our history leprosy has probably ranked as one of the most horrifying human conditions. That slow, wasting disease lacked any cure and produced hideous deformities, leading to the creation of isolated confinement colonies for the afflicted. It's hardly surprising that in the New Testament, Jesus extended his healing touch to lepers as...

Markets Prematurely May Celebrate, But the Next Phase Likely Will be More, Bigger War, by Alastair Crooke
Trump’s tariff war will be seen in retrospect to be peanuts to the threatened strike on China’s supply lines. We are entering upon a new stage to this war on Iran.

The Holocaust Wars, by Paul Eisen
[Audio version here] Preface to this re-published edition by Jorge Besada. The great comedian-critic George Carlin astutely mentioned: “You don’t need a formal conspiracy when interests converge.” The “fog of war”, with its understandable hatreds, violence, rumors, exaggerations, and vengeful or noble lies, causes many people’s “interests converge” in a manner where atrocity myths easily...

No Negotiations, Iran Will Retaliate, the War Will Escalate, by Larry C. Johnson
Well, that didn’t take too long. Friday’s false optimism about an imminent peace deal with Iran following Donald Trump’s claims that Iran had agreed to surrender to the US demands, fed wild swing to the positive side in the US stock market and crashed oil prices. Once again, it turns out that Trump was merely...

Nothing About This Dystopia Feels Natural, by Caitlin Johnstone
Nothing about this dystopia feels natural. We all sense it deep in our marrow. We all know something has gone terribly wrong.

The Disunited Kingdom, by Mark Gullick
“To be born an Englishman is to win first prize in God’s lottery”. The phrase is often misattributed to Johnson or Kipling, but was most likely uttered by Sir Cecil Rhodes. If it is true, then any White Englishman today could be forgiven for wondering just how bad second prize is. England has not declined...
