29.08.2015 | 00:00 | Wayne MADSEN
The recent shooting of the U.S. Consulate in Istanbul by two woman who were claimed by Turkish authorities to be members of a far-left terrorist group, the Revolutionary People’s Liberation Army-Front (DHKP-C), as well as a suspicious incident on a Thalys high-speed train bound for Paris from Amsterdam, indicate that the false flag operations conducted by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency’s Cold War-era «stay behind network» known as Gladio may be back in full operation…

Native Americans and US Scorched Earth Continuum
28.08.2015 | 00:00 | Finian CUNNINGHAM
The Navajo and Apache were the last of the great Native American nations to be conquered at the end of the 19th Century. Using a scorched-earth policy, the tribes were massacred by Union troops under the command of Washington. Destruction of settlements and pastoral lands was instrumental in dispossessing the tribes, leading to their eventual subjugation…
New President of Poland Steps Up Anti-Russian Moves in Pursuit of Geopolitical Ambitions
27.08.2015 | 08:00 | Andrei AKULOV
Barely three weeks into his term, Andrzej Duda, the new President of Poland, is moving to pivot his country to closer security ties with NATO and its immediate eastern neighbors. At the same time he courts confrontation with Moscow. The President has made a number of statements reflecting his attitude towards Russia and Ukrainian crisis that also reflect the stance of the Law and Justice Party (PiS) he represents, a political force that may well come into power within the next few months…

India, Pakistan Choose to Remain Disengaged
27.08.2015 | 00:00 | Melkulangara BHADRAKUMAR
It is a familiar sight when India-Pakistan interactions raise hopes but only to end up as damp squib. In fact, that is a well-established pattern, and the bleached landscape is littered with carcasses of India-Pakistan summit meetings…

26.08.2015 | 18:14 | Yuriy RUBTSOV
The Japan’s Foreign Ministry never had a dull moment during the last weekend. It was the headache of its own making. Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev visited Iturup, one of the Kuril Islands, on August 22 as part of his trip to the Far East…
Why US Wreaks Havoc in Latin America?
26.08.2015 | 08:00 | Nil NIKANDROV
The pursuit of hegemony is part and parcel of US policy in Latin America. Any attempt to take independent foreign policy decisions by a Latin America state is perceived by the White House as a challenge. The Obama administration has applied great efforts to destabilize the governments and countries in the Western Hemisphere that refuse to dance to the Washington’s tune…

Refugees in Geopolitical Game
25.08.2015 | 08:00 | Pyotr ISKENDEROV
Hundreds of thousands of refugees and migrants have recently made their way to Europe, but only to the casual observer would this seem to be a fluke event. In reality, what we are dealing with is an artificially induced phenomenon…

Privatizations are increasingly fashionable, such as in Greece, Ukraine, the U.S., and UK — and privatizations are a central feature of fascism…
Increasing Propaganda Against Russia
24.08.2015 | 20:00 | Michael AVERKO
European Union (EU) spokesperson Maya Koijanic’s recent outburst against a planned Russian, Belarusian and Serbian military exercise, is hypocritically ironic, in line with an ongoing bias against Russia – prevalent among some key elements within Western foreign policy strategizing and media. This slant targets those outside Russia, who’re sympathetic to reasoned mainstream Russian views. (Related to this subject, is my July 7, 2014 Global Research article «Twisted History Against Russia And Serbia» and the July 9, 2015 Sputnik News piece «UN Srebrenica Resolution Shows Double Standards, Justifying Russia’s Stand»)…

US Tests Space Weapon: Back to Star Wars (II)
24.08.2015 | 00:00 | Andrei AKULOV
We may not know the whole truth, but it is generally believed that until now arms systems have not been stationed in space. Weapons of mass destruction are banned from space under the 1967 Outer Space Treaty. But the Treaty does not prohibit the placement of conventional weapons in orbit…
Refugees, Repatriates and West
24.08.2015 | 00:00 | Yuriy RUBTSOV
The civil war unleashed by the Kiev regime in southeast Ukraine has exacerbated the refugee problem considerably. Since the turn of the 1940s-1950s, Europe has been ignorant of the displacement of such large amounts of people. According to the latest UN data, by 31 July 2015 more than 2.3 million people had left their place of permanent residence in Ukraine. In addition, Kiev is only willing to help those Donbass residents who have fled the bombing and shelling to areas under the control of the Ukrainian authorities…

US Tests Space Weapon: Back to Star Wars (I)
23.08.2015 | 00:00 | Andrei AKULOV
With public attention centered on other things the United States has been deploying new and more sophisticated weaponry in space. Step by step the Earth’s orbit is becoming primed for war. A growing number of space objects lurk in space and there is a good reason to surmise that they are possibly waiting for commands to disable other satellites and start a star war. The US deploys powerful sea-based Aegis air-defense systems that, with accurate guidance, could reach into orbit to destroy enemy spacecraft…

23.08.2015 | 00:00 | Finian CUNNINGHAM
