Was Industrial Sabotage at Play with Super Jet crash in Indonesia?
12.05.2012 | 07:26 | Wayne MADSEN
Based on past aggressive competitive commercial tactics employed by the alliance of American corporations, the U.S. Intelligence Community, and the Pentagon, aviation experts in Asia are wondering aloud whether the recent crash of the new Sukhoi Super Jet 100 in Indonesia was the result of high-stakes industrial sabotage engineered to protect Boeing’s lucrative commercial and military aviation market in Asia at the expense of a resurgent Russian aviation industry…
Seif al-Islam Gaddafi and the Fight behind the Scene over His Fate
12.05.2012 | 00:00 | Alexander MEZYAEV
The legal proceedings against Seif al-Islam, the son of Muammar Gaddafi, have developed into an unusual situation, that has had no precedents in the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) history. The matter is that the Court itself is exerting efforts to destroy the case so that the accused would never have to face it…There is ground to believe that some kind of clash between two opposing forces took place inside the Court. One of the forces had never made itself known before…
Upcoming G8 Forum and the Objectives Behind the Looming Great War
11.05.2012 | 00:00 | Viktor BURBAKI
The recent developments – from the seizure of Iraq and Afghanistan to the rape of Libya and the spill of the Arab Spring – leave no doubt that the world system periphery faces a new round of colonial conquests…NATO is an existing and successfully tested instrument of the new colonization…By all means, Iran’s nuclear program is nothing more than a casus belli – even with no trace of interest in nuclear technologies, the country would still be in big trouble. Moscow should, in the meantime, keep in mind that it is destined to be the next target after Tehran…Russia will have to endure plenty of arm-twisting at the upcoming G8 forum in Camp David supposed to coerce it into giving up the support for Syria and Iran and the Eurasian initiatives, as well as to make Moscow subject its tactic nuclear weapons stockpile to deep cuts.

10.05.2012 | 00:00 | Nikolai MALISHEVSKI
The US Council on Foreign Relations authoritatively projects that in the XXI century the rivalry over Arctic mineral riches will escalate into a new type of a Cold War, which promises to be a conflict profoundly different from the one that marked the XX century’s bipolarity epoch. Indeed, it is impossible to overlook the fact that calls for the internationalization of Russia’s Northern maritime route emerged as a recurrent foreign-policy theme both in the West and in the East since the dawn of the XXI century.

The signing of the strategic partnership agreement by the United States President Barack Obama and his Afghan counterpart Hamid Karzai becomes a historic landmark in the geopolitics of Central Asia…The sum total of Obama’s message is that the US is going to stay put in Afghanistan for at least another decade.
Fundamental Treatise on the History of Russia’s 1941-1945 Great Patriotic War
08.05.2012 | 12:09 | Yuriy RUBTSOV
In 2011, on the eve of the 70th anniversary of the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union which marked the start of Russia’s Great Patriotic War, the country launched a fundamental academic project by publishing the first of the planned twelve volumes of the treatise titled The 1941-1945 Great Patriotic War…The new historical treatise will certainly provide an extremely important input at the time when a significant portion of the World War II debate is being shaped by an unprecedented tide of revisionism…Present-day revisionists hope to erase from people’s minds the very concept of Russia’s Great Patriotic War by redefining it narrowly as a war between the Soviets and the Nazi…Certain political factions in the post-Soviet republics – Ukraine, Moldova, the Baltic republics, Georgia, and Uzbekistan – are trying to banish from the collective memories of the respective nations any traces of their having been involved as members of the Soviet Union in the struggle against Nazi Germany.
Germany: “Young Veterans”
08.05.2012 | 00:00 | Natalia MEDEN
The initiatives of the Federal Republic of Germany’s government aimed at the support of “young veterans” have the final goal of war propaganda, or, to be more precise – overcoming anti-military sentiment in society and obliteration of Nazi crimes.

07.05.2012 | 08:43 | Alexander MEZYAEV
No matter there have been massive attempts to “sanctify” the history falsification by the courts authority for twenty years, the Hague tribunal has finally failed to conduct a single trial where the guilt of a top political or military Serb leader of committing crimes on the territory of former Yugoslavia would be proven.
Pulling off the American Emperor’s Clothes Thread by Thread
07.05.2012 | 00:00 | Wayne MADSEN
The United States, which sought to capitalize politically, militarily, and financially from the break-up of the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, Sudan, and Czechoslovakia and now seeks to reap the benefits from the similar potential fracturing of the Russian Federation, China, Libya, and Iraq, may receive a taste of its own medicine.Across the United States, there are increasing calls for secession from a federal government that is not providing for the common welfare of the people.
Democracy for Sale
06.05.2012 | 00:00 | Igor IGNATCHENKO
On May 6 Greece is to hold snap parliamentary elections against the background of unparalleled social-economic and political crisis… The Greece’s destiny is sad… If people could draw the lessons, the Hellas of today would be a good experience to take into consideration by the countries that today strive to join the European Union and “become rich”. The Brussels bureaucracy sees the EU member countries as corporations to be made bankrupt, split up, swallowed up… Not long ago Greece marked the anniversary of liberation from the yoke of the Ottoman empire and becoming independent in 1821. Is it on the way of losing independence again – this time to nationless Eurocorporation?
