As a result, Iran, Russia, and Turkey managed to sign a final communique and agreed on the establishment of a trilateral mechanism to support the ceasefire in Syria and monitor possible violations.
Does this meeting in Astana mean the end of the war in Syria? Such a prediction is quite optimistic. However, nowadays, there is no doubt that peace in Syria is possible. Astana became an optimal platform where conditions to hold the first official meeting between the Syrian government and the armed opposition were created.
We have lost many traditional ways of learning from nature. But what if we could reinstate them in ways fit for modern life? Nature guide Andres Roberts says everybody – from children to business leaders and politicians – can benefit from the ‘university of the wild’

Obama has caused serious damage to the European Union before leaving office, and many years will be needed to mitigate the impact of his emotional farewell. Prior to bursting into tears, Obama gave a cool-headed order for the American armed forces and armored vehicles to be urgently transferred to Germany’s Bremerhaven.
President Trump has stirred up anger over his provocative executive orders targeting immigrants, both undocumented people inside the U.S. and arrivals from seven mostly Muslim nations, as Dennis J Bernstein describes. By Dennis J Bernstein A grassroots rebellion against President…Read more →
Didn’t have enough time to properly, fully eulogise concerning the brilliant British film, stage and TV actor John Hurt, who passed away a few days ago after a struggle with pancreatic cancer. There would be a lot to say about Hurt, whose rich, varied career included any number of memorable or stellar performances. But my […]
By Greg Felton | January 30, 2017 Upon entering public service, the need to sell oneself to the highest donors has a way of morphing politicians into private-interest puppets; therefore, few sights are as inspiring as a politician rediscovering his testicular fortitude at the end of his political career, free to do what he dared […]
A few years ago, in a televised chat with other French progressives, Benoît Hamon succinctly exposed the essence of our troubles in Europe: “[EU] governments may change,” he said, “but not the policies”. Since then, the Socialist former Education minister … Continue reading →

This week a US presidential executive order temporarily restricted travelers and refugees from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen from entering America. In response to the controversial order, a wave of anti-Trump ‘flash mob’ protests emerged seemingly out of nowhere at New York’s JFK Airport and other airports across the nation.

FULL TEXT & ANALYSIS: Donald Trump’s ‘travel ban’ Executive Order
Another Goldman Sachs Administration?
Nomi Prins says that based on the past history of Goldman Sachs executives in public service, President Trump’s appointment of Goldman Sachs alumni Steven Mnuchin and Gary Cohn means that the one percent of the one percent will continue to feast on the rest of us.

Can Trump Deliver?
Paul Craig Roberts
My view of Trump is conditional and awaits evidence. I am encouraged by the One Percent’s opposition to Trump, or we have just experienced the greatest ruse in history. Indeed, a pointless ruse, as the Establishment had its candidate in Hillary.
US President Donald Trump fired the acting attorney general, Sally Yates, an Obama administration holdover, after she defied instructions to defend Trump’s executive order banning the entry of refugees and visitors from seven Muslim-majority countries—Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. Yates precipitated the crisis by overruling a finding by the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel, which approved[Read More...]
Yemen’s Houthi militia fighters mounted a successful attack yesterday against a Saudi Arabian military warship off the western coast of Yemen in the Red Sea.
The Saudi vessel, Al Madinah, was stuck while on a scheduled patrol in the southern Red Sea when the attack occurred.
The attack is reported to have killed two sailors and wounding three others, according to U.S. officials.
News reports which say that Dutch investigators are claiming that they are unable to decipher radar information provided them by the Russians in connection with the MH17 investigation, will come as no surprise to anyone who has followed the MH17 investigations carefully.
Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu has launched a series of provocative moves against the Palestinians in the West Bank, East Jerusalem and inside Israel itself. His aim is to distract public attention from the corruption probe that could force his resignation and bring down his government. In doing so, he has been emboldened by strong support from the incoming Trump administration.[Read More...]
Israel conspires against the Mother of Parliaments By Philip Giraldi • Unz Review • January 31, 2017 A quite incredible story out of England has not received much media coverage in the United States. It concerns how the Israeli Embassy in London connived with government officials to “take down” parliamentarians and government ministers who were […]
They cry over Trump’s executive order to enforce Obama’s immigration act from seven Muslim majority nations.
They scream that the ban is undermines “American values” and is “evil”.
Do we need to go over the numbers as to how many people of Muslim faith were killed in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, and Libya? One million, five million?
“Fake Tears” Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi are anything but sympathetic toward Muslims.
The gasolinazo protests, which erupted in Mexico early this month over the slashing of gasoline subsidies, continue throughout the country.

The Russian military previously fired cruise missiles against ISIL targets from Tu-160 strategic bombers [XInhua]
Long-range bombers took off from an air base in Russia and wiped out Islamic State command and control bases in Syria’s eastern Deir e-Zor province, the Defense Ministry in Moscow said on Tuesday.
The Russian air force carries out sorties against Islamic State targets on a nearly daily basis since September 2015, but long-range bombing operations are not as frequent.

Confirmation that US President Donald Trump has fired acting Attorney General Sally Yates after she publicly declared in an open letter that the Department of Justice would not defend President Trump’s ‘travel ban’ Executive Order in the courts, comes as no surprise. On the contrary what would have been astonishing – and concerning – would have been if President Trump hadn’t fired her.
London: Any inquiry into fake news is much like having a Royal Commission into the make up and motivation for Halal food. (The latter absurd proposition has been put forth by a few Australian politicians irritated by the Islamist bogeyman.) Neither mission is particularly helpful, other than to illustrate a mounting ignorance about a phenomenon that always was. In the[Read More...]
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi looked foolish trying to protest Trump’s executive order on immigration.
Microphone malfunctions, breaking out in song…it was weird and sad to see how low the Democrat party has sunk.
Pelosi continuously said to the crowds gathered on the steps of the Supreme Court…“Can you hear?”
The crowds could not hear anything, and so they resorted to singing “This Land Is Your Land”, and chanting “Lock him up!”
Pelosi at one point went totally off script talking about the “new moon.”
At least two lawsuits were filed Monday (Jan. 30) against against President’s Trump’s Friday’s “Muslim ban” executive order. In Seattle, Washington, State Attorney General Bob Ferguson announced that he is challenging President Donald Trump’s executive order banning Muslim immigrants and refugees, calling it unconstitutional and asking for a temporary restraining order. In Washington DC, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)[Read More...]
Most people agree-- it's time for this bum to say good-byeDid you read Bill Moyers' piece Friday, Donald Trump's Demolition Derby. Who would disagree with him that "in just a few days, Donald Trump seems to have set out to wreck government and turn over the remains to his plutocrat friends?"
If the Trump's White House approves a relocation of the US embassy, it would overturn decades of international consensus on Jerusalem. The message to the Palestinians and Arab world would be clear and provocative, said Nabil Shaath, a senior Palestinian official. "Moving the embassy is the same as recognising Jerusalem as Israel's united capital. It's a war crime."
As government leaders sashay between paltering and prevarication—as they’re wont to do around the world—the people get bombarded, often everyday, with a substantive number of stunners. Just like Mr. President in the United States is doing right now and hogging all the klieg lights. But of course it isn’t only the politicians who are adept—or irresistibly tempted—in taking recourse to[Read More...]
Unable and unwilling to step away from the celebrity afforded to him by his US Presidency eight year term, Barack Obama is jumping back into the public spotlight. It did not take the former POTUS long before he resurfaced.
Former President Obama, who specializes in sowing chaos and creating division, is now working hard to make sure that the courtesy afforded to him by President George W. Bush (staying silent on the sidelines during he first 100 days of a new administration) is not extended to Donald Trump.
For many decades now, the delta farmers have been at the receiving end of the water dispute between the two riparian neighborsTamilnadu and Karnataka. This year, along with Cauvery the monsoon also failed them. More than 250 farmers have died over the last three months – some committed suicide while many died of shock and pent-up trauma, according to media reports and farmers associations
Whenever Donald speaks, one can be assured that a kind of meaningless statement, totally disconnected from present and historical realities, will slip through his lips. I’m speaking of course of President Donald Tusk of the European Council, who has listed the United States as an ‘existential threat’ to the European Union.
This is an appeal for restoration of the rule of law in Bastar (Chhattisgarh), assured access without interference to any persons concerned with human rights abuses in the area, and action against those guilty of harassing such persons or other violations of human rights. Among other recent incidents of harassment is a brazen attack on Dr. Bela Bhatia, an independent[Read More...]
Tucker Carlson takes on Mark Hetfield who is the CEO and President of Hias, a group which advocates for the open entry of refugees into the United States…why? Because his organization gets US taxpayer money per refugee admitted. Always follow the money.
Hetfield is completely clueless in his argument for allowing refugees to openly flow into the USA, at one point stating that…
“We [USA] are not responsible for the crisis in Syria.”
Whenever the forces of the fascist regime in Kiev feel any kind of existential weakness, they respond through a combination of insane rhetoric and increased attacks on the Donbass Republics, attacks which are in violation of the Mink II deal, an agreement which has been violated so many times, it hardly bears any discussion at this point.

Will the latest positive data on the eurozone’s recovery prompt another decrease in the ECB’s quantitative easing? [Xinhua]
A rise in energy prices in January helped push the eurozone’s inflation to 1.8 per cent, the 19-nation bloc’s statistics office said on Tuesday.
It was 1.1 per cent in December, and just 0.6 per cent the month before, Eurostat said.
Inflation has become a worry for the European Central Bank (ECB).
In Germany, for example, the inflation rate rose from 0.4 per cent in July to 1.7 per cent in December and 1.9 per cent in January.

Le décret migratoire de Donald Trump visant sept pays du Moyen-Orient, à l’évidence, est une opération démagogique. Mais elle n’est pas non plus, comme on le verra, exempte d’arrière-pensées géopolitiques. Chercher les raisons de cette décision dans les impératifs de la lutte contre le terrorisme, en tout cas, relève de l’exploit intellectuel.
On the face of it former CIA officer, Watergate burglar and confessed JFK assassin E Howard Hunt shouldn't have had much to do with former MPAA president Jack Valenti. They both served in WW2 (Hunt in the OSS, Valenti in the Army Air Forces) and both died in 2007. They may both have been present at the John Kennedy assassination.
Oil prices continue to waver above $50 a barrel, improving prospects for Russia’s economic recovery [Xinhua]
Russia’s economy ministry on Monday said that GDP growth fell by one per cent in December from the same time last year.
In October, the economy contracted by 0.6 per cent but grew in November by a revised 0.9 per cent.
For 2016 as a whole, GDP fell 0.6 per cent from 2015.
According to forecasts by the World Bank, International Monetary Fund and the UN, Russia’s economy has beaten the effects of US and European Union sanctions over the Ukraine crisis.
There is no news reporting in America other than the White House and the “humiliated” media, bantering back and forth like spoiled children. The media didn’t need an administration known around the world for lying thru its teeth, and it took only a few days to establish that, to discredit it. The mainstream media has long been in a funk, dancing a tune for its corporate owners and their alliances.
