As feared, the Council of the European Space Agency has formally suspended cooperation with Russia on the ExoMars mission, citing “the present impossibility of carrying out the ongoing cooperation with Roscosmos”. That makes it impossible to proceed with the launch from Russia’s Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan scheduled for late September. The central component of ExoMars is the European rover, Rosalind-Franklin, […]

Sitting inside the National Security Council of the United States is an inter-agency task force called the “Tiger Team”, which has been planning the current conflict in Ukraine since at least last November. This was revealed by Swiss security expert Jacques Baud, a retired Colonel in the Army, in an interview on the Swiss website Zeitgeschehen im Fokus.  Baud gives […]

The economic warfare against Russia unleashed in the past weeks has been on the agenda since well before the current “Ukraine” crisis, as was confirmed by “unnamed” White House officials on Jan. 25 (cf.SAS 5/22). Their statement confirmed President Putin’s firm belief that Russia would be subjected to harsh sanctions no matter what course he took in dealing with Ukraine. […]

In an article appearing in this week’s issue of Executive Intelligence Review, EIR economic editor Paul Gallagher describes the disruption to the world economy produced by western sanctions against Russia. “Led by London, Wall Street and Washington, NATO is bringing the world economy down willfully and deliberately, although with ‘unintentional’ and disastrous consequences”, Gallagher wrote. The de facto banning of […]

Jacques Cheminade, president of Solidarité et Progrès and a former French presidential candidate, issued a statement on March 9, 2022, explaining why the European Union should not accept the membership of Ukraine.
