The scheduled World Economic Forum, held at the end of January of this year in a Swiss town of Davos, was noteworthy in several ways. First of all we would like to highlight that its focus on Globalization 4.0 is a direct throwback to the times when the concept of the Fourth Industrial Revolution made its appearance in Germany decades earlier, with its key tool, denoted by the term digitalization (that has already become a meme).
The United States’ withdrawal from the INF Treaty – with Russia’s alleged violations as pretext – is just the logical next step to the military component of Obama’s “pivot to Asia.”
If Tulsi Gabbard is capable of connecting with people by separating ending the Empire from giving Russia an advantage she could be useful in keeping things from getting any worse.
Col. Larry Wilkerson discusses the meaning of the Trump administration's abandonment of the Intermediate Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty and how this move has contributed to a wholesale dismantling of the nuclear weapons control system. This might be an opportunity to restart, deepen, and broaden the framework.
Seventeen years later, the end of America's longest war appears to be drawing near. U.S. taxpayers spent at least $2 trillion — enough to wipe out all outstanding student loans — on bombing and pillaging and torturing Afghans.

Welcome to UKC Extra Time, a special segment available to 21WIRE.TV Members every Monday afternoon.
Luke ‘Ming’ Flanagan is a Member of European Parliament from Ireland. He had a simple mission: to try to view a single ‘public’ document, specifically, the TTIP agreement at the EU Parliament. What happened next was simply mind-boggling.
If you are following U.S. and international mainstream media coverage of the crisis in Venezuela, then chances are you watching a heavily distorted picture of what is really happening in South America and why. Do not be fooled by hollow calls for “freedom and democracy.” The real devil is in the detail.
It is certain there will continue to be regional instability, and that in Pakistan it will be essential that the army continues in its role as protector of democracy, Brian Cloughley writes.

It'll be on seemingly every channel but the Cartoon Network which is where it actually belongs.This is how I am preparing for the big broadcast: I thought of taking a page from the Big Pop-up Cookbook of Trump White House Cuisine and getting in a tray of Bigly Macs or whatever they're called but I ate at a McDonalds once back in 1971 and never went back. So, what to do?
‘Palestine – A Four Thousand Year History’ by Nur Masalha. (Book Cover) Review by Jim Miles | Palestine Chronicle | February 4, 2019 The Israeli narrative of a nation/state returning to its homeland after a fifteen hundred year exile required deft work by the David Ben-Gurion initiated Governmental Names Committee (Va’adat Hashemot Hamimshaltit, 1949).

J’ai trouvé la vision de Mélenchon intéressante – à prendre avec recul bien sûr.
Au delà de la réaction sanguine, j’avais été sidéré de l’apathie face à la perquisition chez lui et dans les locaux, vu que la Justice a saisi ses ordinateurs, ses documents, la liste des adhérents de son parti, etc. Cela pose de lourdes questions quand il s’agit d’un leader de l’opposition, qui a donc un large réseau de personnes qui le contactent, et qui sont parfois au coeur du pouvoir. Et ceci ne peut que les intimider à l’avenir.

Hundreds of Palestinians took to the streets of besieged Gaza to show their support of the democratically-elected government of Venezuela and it’s legitimate leader, President Nicolas Maduro. Venezuela is struggling to defeat a coup attempt that is supported by the United States, Israel and many Western governments.
Originally, there were four parties involved in the Afghan conflict which are mainly responsible for the debacle in the Af-Pak region. Firstly, the former Soviet Union which invaded Afghanistan in December 1979. Secondly, Pakistan’s security agencies which nurtured the Afghan jihadists on the behest of Washington. Thirdly, Saudi Arabia and the rest of oil-rich Gulf … Continue reading "CIA Was Aiding Afghan Jihadists Before the Soviet Invasion"
For some months now, Venezuela’s socialist government has lurched through a series of escalating crises – hyperinflation, mass protests, political violence – while both the government and its opposition have flirted with authoritarianism.

I am not a fan of Mamata Banerjee’s rhetorical politics nor do I believe that BJP cant gain in West Bengal.

Resolution of the Middle East crisis cannot be obtained on a battlefield.

OK, I will admit it.. I actually watched the National Football League's "Super Bowl LIII" game yesterday and I too look upon the game itself as an unmitigated disaster... It had to be probably THE most boring football game that I have seen in quite some time with very little scoring and an abysmal "halftime show" to boot....
I always knew that the truth eventually does come out..... When the US "announced" over a month ago that they were going to "withdraw" from Syria, I was very pessimistic, and I seriously doubted that this was the truth.... I knew that the US went illegally into Syria for their long planned criminal "regime change" and they were indeed hell bent on seeing that occur before they would ever "withdraw" from that nation....Now it is well over a month since US President Donald Drumpf stated that he would "withdraw" US troops from Syria, and the US troops are NOT going anywhere....

Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro has called Juan Guaidó, the self-declared interim president of Venezuela, a treasonous figurehead of a plot orchestrated by the United States to capture Venezuela’s vast oil reserves on behalf of wealthy US investors.
As a summary of what’s happening in the oil-rich South American country, Maduro couldn’t have done better.

An old friend of mine called the other day to say she wanted to congratulate me on the post I wrote exposing Tulsi Gabbard as a fraud a couple of years ago and that she planned to send it around her social media circles.
From a Jimmy Dore comedy show, an amazing segment on Rachel Maddow’s unbridled warmongering over Russia and her committed support for the Deep State:
