05.09.2015 | 00:00 | Yuriy RUBTSOV
Seventy years ago Japan signed the Instrument of Surrender, thus closing the final chapter in the history of the Second World War, which had actually lasted almost 14 years, beginning with the Japanese invasion of Manchuria in 1931…
Whither the Economy?
05.09.2015 | 00:00 | Paul Craig ROBERTS
The great problem with corporate capitalism is that publicly owned companies have short time horizons. Unlike a privately owned business, the top executives of a publicly owned corporation generally come to their positions late in life. Consequently, they have a few years in which to make their fortune…
Meritocratic Britain or Apartheid Britain?
04.09.2015 | 08:00 | Matthew JAMISON
The famous English author-philosopher George Orwell once wrote that England was the most class ridden country on the planet: «It is a land of snobbery and privilege, ruled largely by the old and the silly». Yet by 1989, the Conservative Prime Minister and arch meritocratic, Mrs Margaret Thatcher was boasting to the House of Commons that 10 years of Tory rule had replaced «the old, class based Labour order» giving way to a new Britain based on «merit, ability and effort»…
U.S. Has Now Retrospectively Joined Fascist Side in WW II
04.09.2015 | 00:00 | Eric ZUESSE
At a commemorative celebration in Beijing on Thursday September 3rd, marking the 70th Anniversary of China’s freedom from the aggressor Japan ending World War II in China, the United States conspicuously avoided siding with its former WW II ally China, which had been one of the pro-democracy Allies during that war, and instead retrospectively switched sides, to the former fascist Axis powers, Japan itself, and also Germany…
European Commission: Taming of Obstinate
04.09.2015 | 00:00 | Alexei BALIEV
The policy of anti-Russian economic sanctions adopted by the European Commission and the US administration includes putting pressure on smaller European countries outside of the EU that did not initially support actions against Russia. It is these countries that are suffering the most from the EU/US sanctions and Russia’s counter-sanctions…
Cultural Imperialism and Perception Management: How Hollywood Hides US War Crimes
03.09.2015 | 00:00 | Mahdi Darius NAZEMROAYA
There is an unspoken, yet very clear, bond between Hollywood and the US government that overtly supports US foreign policy. The movie industry in Hollywood has been active in hiding US war crimes and sanitizing the US military campaigns in NATO-garrisoned Afghanistan, Anglo-American occupied Iraq, and elsewhere in the world. Moreover, the dominance of Hollywood as a tool of cultural imperialism in Europe and the rest of the world make Hollywood films an excellent tool for getting Washington’s ideas out internationally and sedating global audiences with misleading narratives…
Russia and South Africa to Forge Strategic Alliance
03.09.2015 | 00:00 | Alexander MEZYAEV
Russia and South Africa enjoy an extraordinary relationship that goes deep down in history. Some of its moments resemble a heroic saga or a breathtaking detective story…
Formula for Austerity and War
02.09.2015 | 00:00 | Wayne MADSEN
The formula for international hedge fund multi-billionaire George Soros and his ilk is a familiar one. Nation-states see their economies bled dry through usurious interest rates required to pay off international debts crafted by the global banker class. Indebted nations are then forced to sell off public assets and renege on social safety net promises…
Western Misperception: China and Russia Threat to International Stability
02.09.2015 | 00:00 | Augusto SOTO
Over the last few months we’ve heard several voices accusing Russia-China duo of possible Anti-Western sentiment. In fact this non-ideological and non-invasive relationship of the two close neighbours faces complexities of its own. Above all, this union has to try its best to refrain from appearing as an antagonist of western powers, EU in particular, and to show that it has a potential for making contribution to the Eurasia’s stability from the eastern side while promoting a necessary multipolarism…
Dangerous ?old Wars in Cyberspace
01.09.2015 | 00:00 | Boris KAZANTSEV
On 22 July 2015, the UN Group of Governmental Experts on Developments in the Field of Information and Telecommunications in the Context of International Security published its third report, which in many ways can be referred to as groundbreaking…
New Burden on Germany’s Shoulders
01.09.2015 | 00:00 | Natalia MEDEN
Based on public opinion surveys, the immigrant and refugee flows is the hottest topic on peoples’ minds that eclipse other issues leaving behind even the acute Eurozone crisis. It’s only logical…
US Packs Military Punch Deploying First Strike Aircraft Near Russia’s Borders (foreign policy savvies call for dialogue)
31.08.2015 | 08:00 | Andrei AKULOV
In June at the Paris Air Show, US air force chief Deborah James first publicly floated the idea of deploying the F-22 (the Raptor), America’s most sophisticated fighter plane to Europe to counter Moscow’s actions in the Ukraine…
Biden or No Biden: Mrs Clinton Is Dominant for 2016
31.08.2015 | 00:00 | Matthew JAMISON
There has been a swirl of DC speculation lately that Joseph Biden – the 72 year old Vice-President of the United States – will enter the 2016 Democratic Party Presidential race, challenging front-runner Mrs Hillary Clinton for the party’s Presidential Nomination…
European Police ‘Scarier Than ISIS Terrorists’
31.08.2015 | 00:00 | Finian CUNNINGHAM
In what is being described as the worse refugee crisis in Europe since the Second World War, tens of thousands of desperate migrants are streaming across EU borders. They have risked their lives to get there, only to be then attacked by EU «border police», or else targeted by racist street mobs. Welcome to Europe!..
Modern Greek Drama Plot Twist
30.08.2015 | 08:00 | Vladimir NESTEROV
To be able to follow the twists and turns in the Greek drama, we need to remember that after the 2008 crisis, the Troika of creditors (the ECB, the IMF and the European Commission) imposed external economic governance on Greece, calling it «assistance» and «escape from default». The Troika was not saving Greece, but the money of Greek government bond holders – German, French and American banks – by cutting social expenditure and selling state-owned property (first and foremost to Germans)…
Diplomats Do Nothing, Guns Speak Up
30.08.2015 | 00:00 | Alexander VORONTSOV
The most recent dramatic escalation of military and political tensions on the Korean peninsula in August 2015 can be viewed from various perspectives, but what stands out is the fact that despite Seoul’s continual declarations of their desire to build trust between the North and the South, not only economic cooperation, but even meaningful dialog has ground to an almost complete halt…
Washington’s Financial / Currency War on China: Eclipsing of US Dollar by Yuan
30.08.2015 | 00:00 | Mahdi Darius NAZEMROAYA
The Chinese are in the process of displacing the monopoly of the US dollar. They are dropping their US Treasury bonds, stockpiling gold reserves, and opening regional distribution banks for their own national currency. This will give them easier access to capital markets and insulate them from financial manipulation by Washington and Wall Street…
