Having exhausted the possibilities of direct pressure on Russia in connection with the events in the Crimea and Ukraine, Washington floated its strategic reserve – the potential of Saudi Arabia and other Gulf monarchies.

Regime Change in Ukraine and the IMF’s Bitter “Economic Medicine” By Prof Michel Chossudovsky
In the days following the Ukraine coup d’Etat of February 23, leading to the ousting of a duly elected president, Wall Street and the IMF–in liaison with the US Treasury and the European Commission in Brussels– had already set the stage for the outright takeover of Ukraine’s monetary system.

Challenging the Western Narrative on Events in the Ukraine By Lionel Reynolds
The mainstream western media has presented a united front in its coverage of events in the Ukraine since the Maidan protests began in late November 2013. The same narrative has informed the comments and actions of the so-called ‘international community’ – typically an anglo-american-zionist affair consisting of Washington, London, Jerusalem and NATO, but on this… Continue reading

Is Crimea’s Shift the First of a Long Series? By Thierry Meyssan
Beyond the emphatic cries of the West against the accession of the Crimea to the Russian Federation, the real issue is whether this is an orphan event or whether it foreshadows a turning of Eastern Europe toward Moscow.

Crimea River, Obama’s Ukrainian Blunder By Mike Whitney
Here’s something you won’t read in the mainstream media: Ukraine’s fake revolution is over. It ended when Russian Intelligence agents uncovered a plan by coup plotters to destabilize the Crimea using the same strategy they’d used in Kiev, that is, seizing government buildings, inciting violence, and spreading terror. The discovery, which included “hacked” e mails,… Continue reading

Ukraine: America’s Strategic Error By Vladimir Yevseyev
The international community is entering a period of global instability. The unipolar world that emerged after the collapse of the Soviet Union has receded into the past.

When Will Americans Come to Their Senses? By Diana Johnstone
Five years ago, I wrote a paper for a Belgrade conference commemorating the tenth anniversary of the start of the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia.

The new Cold War “shield” By Manlio Dinucci
Washington is making hay of its defeat in Ukraine: it is getting the Europeans to cut themselves off economically from Russia and is already imposing on them the expansion of its missile coverage. While the Western media focus on NATO’s narrative of events (the so-called “military annexation” of Crimea), the Alliance is noiselessly deploying its… Continue reading

The new Gladio in Ukraine By Manlio Dinucci
Looking back to the coup in Kiev and the information provided in our columns during the course of the events, Manlio Dinucci describes a decades-old device used by the United States and NATO as it appears today: a new “Gladio,” that is to say a secret military structure capable of manipulating political facts.

Ukraine as Stalking Horse: The Rise of Fascism in the West By Norman Pollack
Fascism dribbles off the tongue too easily, yet it is possible to wrap one’s arms around the concept and practice with, allowing for historical variations, some degree of precision. Hitler’s Germany may be the gold standard by which to measure all else, but even there correction can be made for both underlying structural features and… Continue reading

Who is in charge of Ukraine today?
The dominant condescending and appeasing tone towards the new Ukrainian authorities in the West clearly contradicts to its democratic and humanitarian values, it persistently promotes in the world.
