NATO Nuclear Gaff by Manlio Dinucci
It’s a stale old secret. But it is also one of the most formidable denials of the Atlantic Alliance: nuclear bombs are stored in violation of international law in Italy, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and Turkey.

Boris Johnson, GMOs and Glyphosate by Colin Todhunter
The never-ending push to force GM on the public under the guise of saving humanity is a diversion that leaves intact the root causes of world hunger and undernutrition: neoliberal deregulation and privatisation policies, unfair WTO rules, poverty, land rights issues, World Bank/IMF geopolitical lending strategies and the transformation of food secure regions into food… Continue reading

Jeff Bezos’s Politics By Eric Zuesse

It’s all going pear-shaped
With perfect timing, just as the summit meeting of the leaders of the top capitalist economies (G7) met in Biarritz, France, China announced a new round of tariffs on $75bn of US imported goods.

The Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact: 80 Years Of Fighting Against Russia
The debate on the Treaty of Non-aggression between Germany and the USSR have been deliberately whipped up by the West as an opportunity to lodge various historical, political and even financial grievances with Russia and discredit the country’s foreign and domestic policies. To that end, a series of resolutions were passed between 2006 and 2009… Continue reading

Gangster Capitalism
By Robert Woodward – TruePublica: There are some standout failures of the privatisation model in Britain that was sold to the public as some sort panacea to all the failings of state-owned assets.

Trump’s bid for Greenland and the imperialist redivision of the world
The US corporate media initially treated the controversy surrounding Donald Trump’s public bid to buy Greenland from Denmark as another laughable example of the US president’s posturing as the peerless deal-maker-in-chief who viewed the proposal, in his own words, as just another “large real estate” deal.

Suddenly West is Failing to Overthrow “Regimes” By Andre Vltchek
It used to be done regularly and it worked: The West identified a country as its enemy, unleashed its professional propaganda against it, then administered a series of sanctions, starving and murdering children, the elderly and other vulnerable groups. If the country did not collapse within months or just couple of years, the bombing would… Continue reading

U.S.-UK Deep State Tries to Grab Hong Kong By Eric Zuesse
Images and context in Western media are subject to expert manipulation and should not be believed as presented.

Roots of Chaos in Hong Kong were Planted in Washington By Salman Rafi Sheikh
A significant part of US foreign policy rests on the notion that it should promote the ‘politics of chaos’ as this chaos, as I pointed out earlier, plays a key role in maintaining US hegemony on the international stage. This ‘politics of chaos’ is thus not just a strategy against rival states and strategic competitors; it… Continue reading
