The German government has proposed a special bill designed to open the door to massive state funding of activities targeting so-called “enemies of democracy”. More specifically, it would increase funds for the “Living Democracy” program (Demokratie Leben) of the Ministry for Family Affairs to some €200 million annually, to be allocated to NGOs involved in promoting initiatives in schools and […]

The British government has openly criticized German Chancellor Scholz for refusing to deliver the Taurus cruise missile to Ukraine, which lead to a warning by German Colonel Ralph Thiele (ret.), chairman of the Political-Military Society, Chairman of EuroDefense Germany, and CEO of StratByrd Consulting. In an interview with NTV, he pointed out that “The British are the drivers of a […]

Although NATO’s blustering Secretary General Stoltenberg won’t yet admit it publicly, the impossibility for Ukraine to defeat Russia at this point is evident to everyone involved. In that light, there are indications that Western “elites” are looking for a way out, but one which will keep the military-financial machine turning in high gear, and will pursue the attacks on Russia […]

The March 2024 “Two Sessions” of China’s legislature, the National People’s Congress, and its advisory body, the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, exhibited a strong sense of confidence in the country’s ability to complete its policy of “modernization” in spite of all the obstacles that are being thrown up against it by the United States and other Western countries.

Despite all the military equipment, advisers and money pumped into NATO’s war against Russia for the past two years, Ukraine has no chance of winning. A reality acknowledged by virtually all Western observers, even if most leaders won’t admit it publicly. Instead, they escalate the rhetoric against Russia, and President Putin in particular. While American aid to Kyiv has been […]

For months, the Biden Administration had rejected even the use of the term “ceasefire” in discussing the slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza. But then, suddenly, in a speech in Selma, Alabama on March 3, Vice President Kamala Harris called for an “immediate ceasefire”. She described the situation in Gaza as “devastating… too many innocent Palestinians have been killed”, and mentioned […]

The brainstorming by leading German Air Force officers, including the Chief Inspector of the Air Force, on options to deploy Taurus missiles against Russian targets such as the bridge across the Azov Sea (cf. above), does not have the backing of the German government – if one can believe the official statements. Both Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Defense Minister Boris […]

The atrocious massacre that took place in Gaza City on Feb. 29, when Israeli Defense Forces opened live fire on starving Palestinians desperately trying to get food from a convoy of relief trucks, leaving at least 115 people dead and over 700 injured, jarred the conscience of even the most cynical observers of the ongoing genocide. But it was apparently […]

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva spoke for millions around the world when he raised the question of whether or not the Western political elites have the moral fitness to survive, given their toleration and even support for the Netanyahu government’s ongoing genocide in Gaza. That is the question of the hour. One which Lula put on the table […]

China began its most important political deliberations of the year on March 4, with the opening of its Two Sessions, that is, the assembly of its two major legislative bodies, the National People’s Congress (NPC) and the Chinese Peoples’ Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC). This year’s gathering is particularly important given the war in Ukraine, the genocide in Gaza, and the […]
